Chapter 288: Can I Take A Photo With You?
It is unknown who leaked the information, but Qin Chuan knows that the Agricultural Science Institute has live fish, and those who have access to it can take it out and raise it.
Qin Chuan exchanged them for supplies, and it is estimated that they have been traded several times in the middle, so it is really not cheap.
The tofu made yesterday is still there. Jiang Ning plans to make a fish head tofu pot and another pot of sour cabbage fish.
Doudou is very diligent, with Qin Mu helping on the side.
When Jiang Ning wasn’t paying attention, he stuffed a bag of chocolate crisps into Doudou’s pocket.
There are too many snacks and they are too precious; Doudou doesn’t want them.
“Doudou, I saved this specially for you; there’s more at home.”
Saying this, he peeled one and put it in her mouth, “Is it sweet?”
“Yeah.” Doudou smiled at him, “Brother Xiao Mu, you’re so nice.”
Getting her praise, Qin Mu was overjoyed. He whispered in her ear, “I only gave them one each.”
He’s referring to the children of the uncles.
Doudou, who was treated specially, was happy, “Brother Xiao Mu, after dinner, I’ll teach you boxing.”
“Yeah!” Qin Mu squatted beside her, picking vegetables and washing his hands with her, “Doudou, the water is too cold; let me do it.”
Tofu fish head, sour cabbage fish, stir-fried lamb with scallions.
The sour cabbage was made by Jiang Ning herself. She used mustard greens grown in the space’s black soil garden. She made two big jars and stored them and can guarantee that there was no foot odor.
Father and son are not good at cooking, but drinking the rich milky white fish soup, they were very happy.
“Dad, the fish head Doudou made is really delicious.”
Qin Chuan corrected his son, “Nonsense, it’s obviously your Aunt Jiang who made it.”
“The fish head Doudou fried, I helped cut the tofu.”
“Oh really? You know how to cut tofu? My son is amazing.”
Chatting while eating, seeing Jiang Ning’s rosy complexion, Qin Chuan spoke up, “A few wealthy ladies are looking for skincare products; do you have a source?”
Surprisingly, there are quite a few, stacked in the space.
“What brands do they want?”
“Doesn’t matter the brand; as long as it smells good and hasn’t expired.”
Qin Chuan doesn’t understand women’s skincare products very well, but it’s been four years since the end of the world. Finding something usable is already good; despite the wealthy ladies being picky, their bottom line has always been decreasing.
A few months ago, he sold a bottle of Da Bao, and one after another, they complained that it smelled like shit and worse it almost ended up in a fight.
As long as there’s stock, he can sell it at a high price.
“I have a few bottles on hand; I’ll let you have a look.”
At the beginning, she hoard a lot at the supermarket and then received another wave at the office building. Regardless of how many lifetimes she’d use it with Doudou, if they don’t sell it now, it’ll be even harder to get rid of it later.
“Can you also get a batch of umbrellas?” Qin Chuan continued to make demands, “This is in high demand; everyone wants them.”
In the past two years, many tycoons have torn off the shackles of morality and let themselves go completely, playing all sorts of tricks. But soon enough, many fell ill.
Before natural disasters, treating illnesses wasn’t a problem at all, but where are the medicines in the end times?
So, they quickly learned their lesson, but still they hoarded too late, and now it’s even harder to find.
“Cough, cough…”
Huo Yishen is still too young but didn’t expect Qin Chuan to ask Jiang Ning at the dinner table and almost choked on a fishbone.
His face blushed a bit.
Qin Chuan glanced at him. Brother Huo seems a bit dull; what’s he shy about? Jiang Ning is not bad, they should reverse roles.
Jiang Ning said something surprising, “We don’t have those; the ones we have are for our own use.”
“Cough, haha, hahaha.” Qin Chuan almost choked as well, “Brother Huo is indeed formidable, as Sister said.”
Doudou at the dinner table was confused and curious, “Uncle, what are you talking about?”
This time, Huo Yishen really choked, luckily, he was eating sour cabbage.
Actually, they could still sell them, but they probably couldn’t exchange them for what Jiang Ning wanted. Thinking about it, they decided to forget it.”
Consider it as a blessing for Lu Yu and Zhang Chao.
After dinner, Jiang Ning brought down a few bottles of skincare products from upstairs, still unopened in their packaging. ‘These are what we found when we went out to scavenge for supplies before. Take them out and try to sell them. If they don’t sell, forget about it.’
Qin Chuan readily agreed, ‘I guarantee there won’t be any issues.’ Even if it’s crap, he can sell it.
Jiang Ning also brought down two packs of cigarettes, ‘A friend gave them. It’s probably not stored well enough; they seem a bit weak in flavor.’
They were brought over by Lu Yu yesterday, but Huo Yishen doesn’t smoke, and there’s plenty of good stuff stored in the space, so there’s no need to keep expired items.
Unexpectedly, there was a big harvest. Qin Chuan was delighted. ‘What do you guys want?’
‘If there’s fresh beef or lamb, get some.’
After a few days without business, Qin Chuan’s hands were itching. He left his son at Building 50 and went out.
With nothing to do in the afternoon, Jiang Ning thought about taking the little one out for a walk on the New Year?
Huo Yishen had no objection. The Spring Festival in the apocalypse of natural disasters was still worth experiencing.
So, they took the three of them and drove out.
Even during the New Year, safety must be ensured, and they shouldn’t go to dangerous places.
The group went to the municipal square, and luckily, the weather was clear, with quite a few people out for a stroll.
There were patrolling officers here, and the criminals did not dare to mess around here.
From afar, they saw two large red lanterns hanging high at the entrance of the city hall, with blessing couplets pasted on them.
The authorities arranged activities to celebrate the Spring Festival — there’s a dragon and lion dance.
The dragon and lion costumes were a bit old, and the dance troupe was also hastily assembled. The movements were far from the magnificence and excitement of the prosperous times, but they were particularly eye-catching.
Applause rang out from time to time, and the faces that were usually numb and indifferent were gradually softened by warmth, laughing until tears flowed.
Doudou was curious, ‘Big Brother, what’s this?’
‘This is called a dragon and lion dance. It’s a tradition here during the New Year, and many people celebrate with it.’
When the whole family celebrated the New Year, he accompanied his parents to take Doudou to see it. At that time, she was still riding on his neck, but she was too young to remember.
Qin Mu still had some impression, ‘Doudou, when I was little, Dad took me to dance.’
After watching the dragon and lion dance, it was time for photos. The dogs locked in the car were whining… this isn’t fair!
They took quite a few photos, and Qin Mu took out his phone, ‘Doudou, can I take a photo with you?’
‘Okay, Brother Xiao Mu.’
The two took a photo together, and Qin Mu quickly hid his phone.
There was still music in the square, surprisingly it was the old-fashioned New Year songs, giving off a New Year atmosphere.
The ingrained square dance was awakened, and quite a few people danced upon hearing the music, swaying their hands and feet.
Jiang Ning saw a particularly familiar figure and walked over to gently tap her shoulder, ‘Grandma Zhong.’
She didn’t expect Grandma Zhong to be a leader in square dancing, as her movements clearly showed her experience.
On the other hand, the other three members of the Zhong family stood shyly to the side.
‘Little Jiang.’ Grandma Zhong didn’t expect to meet her here and shook her hand excitedly, ‘You child, you’ve been too kind to us. We owe you supplies, and you’re giving us even more.’
Truly those two wooden heads on her family, despite countless reminders, they ended up bringing back chicks, rabbits, and herbs.
‘It’s okay; we happen to have them. If we don’t give them to you, we’ll give them to someone else.’
Grandma Zhong sighed, tightly holding her hand with her wrinkled one, ‘Anning, you’ve been taking care of us too much these years. We can’t repay you.’
‘Grandma, you don’t need to be so formal. There aren’t many people left from the Jinrong community, so let’s consider it fate between people.’
Grandma Zhong is naturally optimistic, a bit thin, but still in good spirits.
What made her even happier was that Zhong Ping found a partner.”
