Zhu Xiuyun and her daughter walked over and lined up at the end of the queue. They slowly moved forward with the queue and soon it was their turn.
The two of them took out the things one by one and put them on the counter.
The staff inside are put into a square box according to categories, and different colors can be displayed.
The vegetables in the planting field are purely green, the wild products are white with gray mixed with them, and the medicinal materials are all dark green. Then they are taken out. One person weighs and reports the number, and the other quickly enters it on the optical computer. Finally, they type out a note for the two to check. After it was correct, he stamped it and handed it to Zhu Xiuyun.
You need to take the note and go to the other side to collect the money. The empire has no cash, it is all digital currency, which is stored in an identity card or an anonymous financial card.
Zhu Xiuyun handed the note to the staff at the counter. The person scanned the note with something and immediately said a number and shouted:
"Please take your ID card or financial card."
"Okay, here you go," Zhu Xiuyun handed over her ID card.
The staff member quickly swiped the card on the machine, handed the card back to her, and shouted:
"Next."
Zhu Xiuyun quickly moved to the window, put away her ID card, pulled Qingqing, and asked her daughter to leave the purchasing station.
"Mom, let's go shopping first, and then buy energy stones last."
"Well, let's go, buy some seeds first, and then buy some notebooks and pens for Qingqing."
This time Su Mingjuan was smart enough not to refute her mother's suggestion. Although she was not happy with her daughter in her heart, she knew how to hide her little thoughts.
She was afraid that Zhu Xiuyun would mention how her parents treated her back then.
Sometimes Su Mingjuan also wants to get closer to her daughter. After all, she gave birth to her daughter in ten months of pregnancy. Unfortunately, Qingqing seems to be very alienated from her and doesn't like to be close to her.
The three of them were walking on the street and turned into another street. There were more people on the street. There were shops or stalls on the roadside. They had everything to buy. There were only a few fruit and vegetable shops, most daily necessities, and restaurants. .
Su Qing looked at the shops. There was nothing special about them. They were similar to those on Earth, except that they sold different things. No matter how far technology developed, human beings still lived by eating, drinking, sleeping, and providing basic necessities.
The three of them first walked into a store that sells seeds. The shelves in the store are filled with all kinds of seeds, both in bulk and in bags. They are all vegetables, fruits, grains, medicinal materials, flowers and other seeds. There are also some It is a specialty from other planets.
Zhu Xiuyun specially chooses vegetable seeds that have a long growth cycle and are not easy to bloom and bear fruit. She is afraid that the vegetables will mature in a few days for her granddaughter.
Su Qing chose apple and pear seeds in the fruit section. Zhu Xiuyun thought it would be good to plant a fruit tree, which he could eat at home and sell for money.
Meng Yuexing does not sell saplings, probably because they are difficult to preserve and can easily mix energy.
Su Mingjuan suggested: "Mom, weigh some corn and wheat seeds. You can't eat synthetic grains all the time. Look, we won't grow any longer. Let's catch a few more chickens, raise a few more chickens, and eat some eggs." convenient."
She didn't suddenly care about her daughter, but she was really greedy during this period. Using Qingqing as an excuse, her mother would definitely agree. It had been a long time since she was allowed to eat eggs at home, so why not raise a few more.
Zhu Xiuyun thought the same thing. Qingqing could no longer eat synthetic food in the future. She didn't know there was a problem with synthetic food. She just thought that eating energy food could improve her talent and make her granddaughter's supernatural powers stronger.
Su Qing was wandering around, and her eyes lit up when she saw medicinal seeds. They were all wild seeds at home, and there were only so many of them. It was better to buy some and try planting them.
She grabbed Zhu Xiuyun's clothes and whispered, "Grandma, can you buy me some herbal seeds?"
Zhu Xiuyun was stunned for a moment. Herbal seeds are very expensive. They are usually bought by children with wood talent at home to practice planting, or they are cultivated in schools to let children know about elixirs. This store does not stock many types. .
Other seeds are sold in 2 pieces, and usually one tael can win a large piece of land, but herbal seeds are sold in pieces, and ten seeds count as one share.
It was ten times more expensive than vegetables, but when I saw my granddaughter’s eager eyes and thought of her supernatural powers, I said to the boss readily:
"Give me a portion of each herbal medicine."
The store owner happily agreed and installed it for her immediately.
Su Mingjuan shouted anxiously:
"Mom, you are confused. The medicinal seeds my father left are not enough for Qingqing to waste. Why did you spend money to buy them for her? You can't just buy her whatever she wants. It will easily spoil her."
Zhu Xiuyun glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, I bought it for Qingqing. Some talents must be cultivated from an early age."
"Yes, yes, this aunt is knowledgeable. If the child is interested in something, he must cultivate it, otherwise he will regret it later. This little girl looks smart at first glance."
The shop owner was also flattering him, saying it would cost a lot to buy a copy, so he blurted out the good words about being free of charge.
Su Mingjuan pulled her mother eagerly, "Mom, it's not like you don't know, Qingqing..."
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense, you think this is your own home." Zhu Xiuyun scolded, interrupting what she wanted to say.
Su Mingjuan just realized that she almost told Qing Qing that she had no talent, which would be embarrassing.
"Mom, how can you spend money randomly? You keep saying that money is tight and you are reluctant to buy energy stones. How can you waste money just because Qingqing wants to grow herbs?" Su Mingjuan still tried to stop Zhu Xiuyun.
Zhu Xiuyun ignored him and said to the boss: "Can you please calculate the total amount."
"Hey, wait a minute." The boss immediately packed all the seeds into a bag and entered them on the cash register.
"The total amount of your patronage is 5278 interstellar coins,"
Zhu Xiuyun took out her ID card and swiped the bill to pay.
Su Mingjuan was furious, what happened to her mother? She was too kind to Qingqing. Is it worth killing this girl?
"Mingjuan, let's go, let's buy some chickens, otherwise the planting fields will lack fertilizer."
In the village, a part of the planting field is set aside to raise chickens, ducks, rabbits and pigs. After the manure is fermented, it is used as good fertilizer. The inedible vegetable seedlings and old leaves in the planting field are just enough to feed the chickens and pigs, and you can also save some money on buying fertilizer.
Su Mingjuan agreed with raising chickens because she could often eat eggs, but she was angry at her mother's doting on Qingqing.
Recently, I have been in a bad mood when I returned to my parents' home. I have been brooding about being abandoned. As time goes by, my thoughts have become lighter.
I feel that my mother is too frugal when it comes to food and drink. The only good thing about the Li family is that they are willing to eat. Although they can also eat synthetic food, they are more willing than ordinary families. Anyway, the Li family rarely saves money, and most of their income is spent on food and clothing.
Because Su Mingjuan was the main force in the work, Zhang Liying did not dare to deduct her rations, and the family still expected her to support them.
Seeing that Zhu Xiuyun had already paid, what else could he do? He glared at Qingqing and walked out first.
At a chicken vendor on the street, the mother and daughter selected ten chicks, spread a rag on the basket, put the chicks in, and closed the lid of the basket.
Originally, Zhu Xiuyun wanted to buy Qingqing some clothes, but Su Qing refused.
"Grandma, I'm still young. New clothes will become too small after one year of wearing them. It's such a waste. You can give me mom's old clothes and I can wear them. I can buy new clothes when I go to school."
The granddaughter's words made Zhu Xiuyun's heart melt. Qingqing was already so sensible at the age of three. He looked at his daughter with disgust. She used to look very smart, but she was far behind compared to her granddaughter.
