Chapter 123: Little Fat Lamb... A Plump Body
Xu Hengzhou took Xiang Chen and went to the city.
During the ride, Xu Hengzhou mentioned to Xiang Chen about the watch that He Yuanfeng had. Curious, Xiang Chen asked about the price of the watch. He figured that if his brother thought it was expensive, then it must be truly valuable.
After hearing the price from Xu Hengzhou, Xiang Chen was surprised and opened his mouth wide. What kind of watch was that, made of gold? However, Xu Hengzhou clarified that it wasn't gold but instead adorned with diamonds.
Diamonds...
Xiang Chen was thoroughly impressed. He had thought that, with his ownership of five sets of houses, he couldn't be considered poor. However, it turned out that he was truly ignorant of the world.
"It shouldn't be that expensive now," Xu Hengzhou said, seeing Xiang Chen looking deeply shocked. He tried to comfort him, "If you like it, I can figure out a way to get you one in the future. I remember there's a model that's quite suitable for young men. Also, I have quite a few in my inventory. You can pick two to play with."
Xiang Chen replied, "...No, thanks."
Having seen his brother constantly using his "space" to tinker with corn, sweet potatoes, and eggs, Xiang Chen had almost forgotten that his brother's "space" was like a shopping mall, with many luxury stores inside.
Although Xiang Chen declined, Xu Hengzhou made a mental note of it. He planned to find a few watches that were suitable for Xiang Chen when he got back home, so that he could wear them interchangeably.
For their first trip driving out, Xu Hengzhou chose the nearest city. It was called a city, but in reality, it was only slightly larger than the county where Dahe Village belonged, and it couldn't even compare to Qingjiang City.
In the city, there was only one supply and marketing cooperative. Inside, there wasn't much stuff, but luckily, daily necessities were relatively complete. Perhaps because it was nearing the end of the lunar year, they had deliberately replenished a batch of goods. When Xu Hengzhou and Xiang Chen went over, the shop assistant was restocking.
Pastries, candies, cigarettes, and alcohol were all newly stocked. Additionally, there was some flour, and even a bit of rice, although not much. Xu Hengzhou, without caring about selling He Yuanfeng's watch first, bought half a bag of rice. By the time he finished paying, the remaining rice was quickly snatched up.
He placed the bag of rice in the truck of the military vehicle and asked Xiang Chen to watch over the car. Then, he dashed back into the cooperative. Flour, pastries, candies, a large quantity of coarse grains, and fresh lamb meat took several trips to purchase.
Additionally, there was a shortage of fabric. Over the years, Xu Hengzhou had also become accustomed to living a frugal lifestyle. He didn't buy fancy printed fabrics; instead, he bought a lot of plain, inexpensive rural cloth. This kind of fabric was much cheaper and more convenient for Old Li and the others to use.
In addition to these, he also bought some cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and the like, all of which were essential items.
As for the price of He Yuanfeng's watch, Xu Hengzhou asked someone and was quoted a price without any room for negotiation. He turned around and left. If he really exchanged it, He Yuanfeng would feel sorry for him, as if he, the owner, didn't feel bad enough already. It was better to just spend his own money to buy it.
