Chapter 50
The next morning, Xu Yang was woken up by the heat.
I touched the phone from the table next to me and saw that it was 9:15.
Although the curtains were drawn, the sunlight outside was very dazzling at the moment.
Because the whole house is oriented east-west, to be precise, southwest and northeast.
Standing in the middle of the living room, the balcony facing the outside is southwest, and the door facing the entrance and exit is northeast.
On a summer morning, the sun is shining in the bedroom.
This is a standard apartment one. It is an old community with no elevator. The whole building has six floors and here is on the third floor. The monthly rent is exactly [-].
Xu Yang doesn't like to share rent with other people, he finds it more troublesome and prone to competition for toilets, kitchens and washing machines.
The price is a bit more expensive than shared accommodation, but it is much more comfortable than shared accommodation. It took a lot of effort to find it.
Xu Yang turned over and turned on the air conditioner, setting the temperature at 27 degrees.
The bedroom is not too big, and the air conditioner has a good cooling effect. It will get cold if the temperature is turned low.
He usually sleeps about 2 hours at night.
In his words, it means that you can’t feel the heat when you fall asleep, and if you wake up from the heat, it’s a big deal to turn it on again.
Mainly if you leave it on all night, you will feel particularly uncomfortable when you wake up the next day. I have experienced this several times before.
I will definitely not be able to fall asleep, and I will feel uncomfortable after sleeping for a long time.
But I didn’t want to get up, so I simply opened the short video software and started watching.
After less than 10 minutes of flashing, he closed the software, and he really had no intention of flashing.
Ever since I became a young single, I can't remember any festivals like Valentine's Day, Qixi Festival, Children's Day, Anniversary Day, or 520.
Out of 10 short videos, 8 of them are showing affection, and I can't watch it at all, okay?
After looking through the calendar, I realized that today is Qixi Festival.
Watching others show affection will only result in a critical hit of [-] points.
"Forget it, I can't watch it, I'd better go out and buy groceries."
After resting for a while, Xu Yang got up and took a shower.
Simply tidy up, turn off the air conditioner, and then go out to buy groceries in slippers and prepare meals for noon and evening.
There are several vegetable markets near the community. The price, quality and environment are similar. It depends on your choice where to buy vegetables.
Xu Yang likes to go to the second smaller vegetable market on the left of the gate of the community.
There are more than 20 stalls selling vegetables and pork, but no seafood, fish, or beef.
However, Xu Yang seldom cooks fish and other dishes by himself, so it doesn't matter. If he occasionally eats beef, he will go to other vegetable markets.
"Sister Zhang, do you still have the tender tofu for today?" Xu Yang walked to one of the stalls and asked.
The boss who was called Sister Zhang turned around, and after finding out that it was Xu Yang, he smiled and said, "It's Xiao Xu, are you making mapo tofu again today?"
"Yeah, two friends are coming over, and I will prepare my special dishes for them."
"Don't worry, sister's tender tofu every morning definitely meets your requirements, let's see which one you want."
"Row."
Since Xu Yang lived here, every time he buys vegetables, he chooses different vegetable markets and different stalls to buy, and does not repeat the same every day.
Every time I buy and return home, I will also record the situation of the stall.
For example, the price of commodities, the freshness of vegetables and meat, whether there will be underweight, the attitude and general personality when communicating with the boss.
Of course, the first few points are the most important.
After buying all of them, Xu Yang summed up a few good stalls. Since then, he has bought all his things at these stalls and never went to other places.
Just like this booth.
The owner's surname is Chen, and the owner's wife is the surname Zhang in front of her. I haven't asked her specific name, and they only know her surname is Xu.
It is a shop specializing in soy products.
Such as tofu, tofu skin, tofu shreds, and fermented bean curd can all be bought here.
All the tofu sold every day are made on the same day, usually starting at three or four o'clock in the morning, until around seven o'clock.
The price is worthy of the quality of the product. There has never been a case of selling overnight tofu, and every weighing is also full.
Both of them have gentle personalities and always have smiles on their faces when treating guests.
So many people come here to buy soy products.
Xu Yang chose two good pieces of tofu.
"Sister Zhang, help me see how much it is."
"no problem."
Xu Yang bought two pieces of tofu, estimated to be more than a catty, and planned to make more.
He can eat at any time, but the two of them can't, so they have to make more at one time, so that they can eat enough, otherwise they don't know how long they will have to wait next time.
"Xiao Xu, the total is six yuan, do you want something else?"
"No need." Then he took out his mobile phone, and then scanned the QR code on WeChat to pay.
Before leaving, Sister Zhang did not forget to say: "Come again next time."
"it is good."
After leaving here, Xu Yang came to another familiar booth.
Seeing him approaching, the boss took the initiative to greet him and said, "Xiao Xu, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I'm going to buy something today."
"I've been busy at work recently, and I don't have time to cook by myself. I'll take a look first."
He has lunch and dinner at the restaurant, so of course he won't come back and cook for himself.
He only cooks and eats during the weekly rest time. Recently, in order to complete the task as soon as possible and gain reputation points, he can not rest without rest, so the number of times he comes to buy vegetables is naturally very small.
In the end, Xu Yang bought green peppers and tomatoes, and by the way, eggs and soaked cowpeas.
I thought about the dishes I was going to make at noon and what I was going to do at night, only the meat hadn't been bought yet.
When he came to the stall selling pork, Xu Yang took a look and nodded. He could tell at a glance that today's pork was very good.
After picking it up, I chose a piece of pure lean meat.
"Young man, how much do you want?"
"It costs 15 yuan, please cut it from here." As he said, Xu Yang pointed to the part he wanted.
The boss glanced at it and cut it off with a knife.
"Exactly 9 taels, okay?"
"Okay, how much is it?"
He is resting today, and he will start working again tomorrow. If he buys too much, he may not have a chance to eat. He must buy less, which is enough for two meals today.
"Twenty dollars."
Xu Yang nodded. Recently, the price of pork has been hovering around 18 yuan. Last month, the lowest price was 16 yuan, and the most expensive time was 19 yuan. This price is acceptable.
He remembered that there was a time when the price of pork was as high as 30 yuan a catty.
During that time, I had just started working, so I had reduced the frequency of eating meat. I really couldn't afford it.
Anyway, he is alone, eating meat is also eating, and vegetarian is also eating. In short, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry.
The entire grocery shopping process may only take about 20 minutes.
I'm still at home thinking about the dishes I'm going to make today.
At noon, cook some rice for one person, and then make a dish of cowpea with rotten meat (minced meat cowpea). It is a very delicious dish, and it is enough for one person.
In the evening they came and prepared three dishes.
A meat dish is shredded pork with green peppers, a vegetarian dish is mapo tofu, and a tomato and egg soup.
I make a lot of Mapo Tofu, so it’s enough to make two more dishes.
If you make too much and leave it, you can only throw it away. After all, there is no time to eat later, so you can’t make too much.
