When it came to bargaining, the old lady was the best at it. Whether it was buying clothes or vegetables, she would cut down every cent and then put a zero. After that, she would put a green onion in the basket as a bonus.
Jiang He couldn't learn it. She had gone out to buy vegetables many times and had seen how others did it, but she really couldn't learn it. However, she often followed behind others and stole the fruits of others' labor like Xu Qing.
When there was really no one, she would ask the boss to give her more green onions or vegetables.
A young girl often came here to buy vegetables. Some of the bosses were also familiar with her. The deepest impression was that sometimes when they bought too many vegetables, she would lower her head and murmur to herself for a while to determine the price before she was willing to pay.
Jiang He took Xu Qing around the market. She was now more familiar with this place than Xu Qing.
"Have you ever thought about setting up a stall here to sell vegetables?" Xu Qing felt that she had to think about whether she could do it or not when she saw something. Of course, selling vegetables was no exception. She even thought about growing vegetables and then selling them.
For her, farming had a kind of enthusiasm that Xu Qing couldn't understand.
Jiang He really thought about it. While looking at the stalls on both sides, she got closer to Xu Qing and said in a low voice, "I thought about it, but after careful consideration, I think it's not suitable for me."
"Why?" Xu Qing was still thinking about how to persuade her not to sell vegetables. In the end, before he could think of a reason, she had already thought of it.
"You will definitely lose all your money."
Jiang He sadly looked at an auntie in the distance who was holding vegetables and pushing the stall owner. She faintly sighed and said unwillingly, "They are too good at talking. If I sell vegetables, I will definitely lose all my money."
Sure enough, it was not suitable for doing business … The Internet was better. There was no need to compete with people. She could directly put up the things she wanted to sell at the auction house.
Dinner was a simple side dish. They didn't buy any meat. There was a dish of scrambled eggs with chives, a plate of stir-fried bitter gourd, and a salad of shredded kelp mixed with minced garlic and millet pepper. It was refreshing and delicious.
Jiang He had already passed the time when he first came here, when he liked to eat large amounts of meat. He was almost full after eating two bowls of rice. If he didn't practice martial arts in the morning, one and a half bowls would be enough.
The snacks that Xu Qing bought were all dried fruits and the like. There were no potato chips or biscuits. Even if she occasionally drank milk tea, it would be freshly squeezed kumquats and lemons, so he didn't have to worry about her getting fat and becoming a little chubby girl.
"The current me should have no problem fighting three of last year's me, right?"
After dinner, Xu Qing sat on the side and waved his hands to practice the Grappling Technique. He tried to make the sound of breaking air as seen on TV, but he failed.
"When fighting one against many, you have to cripple two of them before they can react. Otherwise, it will be difficult for two fists to fight against four hands." Jiang He had always been serious about practicing martial arts. He was very serious about advising him. "If you strike with your palm, based on your previous reaction speed, you won't be able to dodge it. As long as you hit the head, the person will be crippled …"
"What do you mean by crippled?" Xu Qing asked in a daze.
"It means lying on the ground and not being able to get up. If you're lucky, you might directly break the neck …"
"I think you have some misunderstanding about the word 'lucky'."
Xu Qing looked down at his hands and couldn't help but ridicule. Could one slap break a person's neck now?
He waved his hands a few times. He could obviously feel that the explosive force was much stronger.
"Move aside."
"What are you doing?" Jiang He couldn't help but ask when he saw him pick up the pillow on the sofa and look around as if he was looking for something.
Xu Qing finally found his target. He moved the stool over and placed the pillow on it. He raised and lowered his palms a few times before taking a step back and saying, "Test my strength."
He used a pillow as a pillow. Firstly, he was afraid of making too much noise. Secondly, he was afraid of hurting his hands. He didn't think that his palms could be harder than the stool.
Although he had tried to break bricks with his bare hands before, that was a technique. He combined speed and strength to break the bricks without feeling any pain in his hands. Smacking the stool was a head-on collision, a contest between his palms and wood.
Jiang He was munching on melon seeds as he watched Xu Qing put on a fighting stance. He looked like he was watching a show. White Gourd was also lying on the table, wagging the tip of his tail as he lazily glanced at Xu Qing to see what strange things this two-legged beast was going to do.
Bang!
Xu Qing let out a low grunt with a serious expression. He slammed his right hand down from top to bottom, making a muffled sound. Then, he stood there and carefully felt it.
"What's the point of doing this?" Jiang He watched for a long time but couldn't see anything different.
"I can feel my own strength. If it were in the past, my hand would definitely bounce off … You'll know when you try."
Xu Qing happily gave up his seat. He could feel the amount of strength he used …
Bang!
There was another sound. Jiang He, who had come to try, didn't stand still like Xu Qing. Instead, he directly slapped down. The sound was much louder than Xu Qing's.
"Why don't you try removing the pillow?" Xu Qing thought of the time she slapped the beverage machine.
"You'll break the stool."
Jiang He glanced at him and lay back on the sofa, looking at his palms in a daze.
At this rate, when would Xu Qing be able to force himself on her …
Hmm … If he was a weak scholar, in that era, it should be Xu Qing who went to the capital to take the imperial examination. Then, she would protect him. When he encountered bandits, she would stand in front of him. When he became the top scholar, she would carry eight sedan chairs …
Xu Qing practiced a set of boxing. When he turned around, he saw Jiang He staring at him with sunflower seeds in a daze. He couldn't help but be curious. "What are you thinking about?"
"Don't touch my shoes."
？？
"Ah, no, I'm not!" Jiang He lowered his head. His ears were tinged with a faint layer of red.
When they were about to consummate their marriage, this guy didn't lift her red veil. Instead, he ran to take off her shoes …
Xu Qing stared at her suspiciously. When he was about to speak, he saw Jiang He put the sunflower seeds on the table, ran back to the room, and closed the door.
"When I become successful in martial arts …"
Xu Qing waved his fist angrily. He found a comfortable position on the sofa and took out his phone. He didn't pay any more attention to this weird grandma. God knows what she was thinking about.
He opened his WeChat Moments and glanced at Wang Zijun. He was playing hot air balloons in Turkey. No wonder he hadn't seen him in the past two months. He had gone abroad.
The lives of rich people were always so simple and boring. It wasn't to the extent of being envious. He just occasionally thought about what he would do if their identities were swapped.
In fact, it was easy to tell whether he was envious or not. He just needed to put himself in his shoes and think about whether he would be willing if their lives were swapped. Of course, he wouldn't be willing.
When Jiang He came out, Xu Qing was already holding his laptop and watching movies. He didn't use eight times the speed, but only two times. He still had to support his own film critic account. Through the occasional promotion on UP, and the natural growth and exposure of the past few months, he already had hundreds of followers. He just didn't know how many of them were friends and how many were real.
It was the same as when he first started as a UP in university. It was always like this at the beginning. He had already experienced it once, so he wasn't anxious. He took his time. Anyway, he just needed to finish the main video.
Quality could slowly grow. If he was eager for quick success, even if he became popular for a while, he would die quickly in the end. Moreover, it was difficult to change the mentality after experiencing the explosion. People would become impetuous and fall into an endless cycle. In the end, they would quit.
“biu！”
Xu Qing closed one eye and used his finger like a gun to shoot at Jiang He, who was peeking at him. He smiled when he saw her looking back nervously.
Long-term was the way to maintain stability. It was the same for relationships.
