Cen Huaian definitely can’t eat popsicles now, they are too cold and he is taking medicine.
But soda can give him a taste of something new.
“Buy it unrefrigerated.”
The vendor was very happy to see the business and greeted enthusiastically: "Soda has orange juice flavor, lychee flavor, white pear flavor, what flavor do you want?"
Colorful sodas were placed in a wooden box, and Cen Huaian wanted all of them.
"I want orange juice flavor."
"Okay! 1.5 cents a bottle!"
The vendor quickly opened the bottle cap and handed it to Cen Huaian: "Take the bottle for 50 cents. Drink it here and return it for free."
Cen Huaian was stunned. Fifty cents was not enough for him. If he had known earlier, he would have bought popsicles. The cheapest white sugar popsicles only cost two cents.
He had only seen other people drinking soda, and he didn't know it was so expensive.
Just when he was wondering whether to accept it or not, Chu Xia handed over the money, took the soda, stuffed it into his hand and said, "Drink it, finish it here."
A huge sum of money just came in, and she was happy. It was just a 1.5-cent soda, so she could drink as much as she wanted!
I don’t know which small factory produced this soda, and it doesn’t even have a brand. Chuxia doesn’t like this stuff.
She has never drunk carbonated drinks since she was a child, and her grandfather doesn't allow her to drink them, saying they are unhealthy.
But she also understands people who like to drink Fat House Happy Water. People who like this kind of drink will feel very refreshing after drinking it.
Children haven’t tried it, so it’s okay to drink some.
When Cen Huaian took the first sip, he felt that the soda tasted strange, a bit stimulating but also with the sweet taste of orange juice.
The more he drank, the better it tasted, even better than sugar water, and soon he had finished half of the bottle of soda. A gust of gas came out of his stomach, causing him to burp for a long time.
Cen Huaian blushed all of a sudden. He looked at Chu Xia. There was a smile on her face, but it was not a mocking smile. Cen Huaian's nervousness disappeared all of a sudden.
"Mom, do you want some? It's delicious."
Chuxia touched his hair, which was a little long and covered his eyes.
"I don't like drinking. You drink it yourself."
After finishing a bottle, Cen Huaian was reluctant to give up the soda bottle and wanted to drink another one.
"Okay." Chu Xia ignored his desire. Drinking one bottle is just to try something new, but drinking too much will hurt the stomach.
"Soda tastes good, but don't drink too much, or your stomach will hurt."
Now that she was out, Chu Xia didn’t want to go back so early, so she took Cen Huaian to the department store again.
It is really inconvenient to have no time at home, so she plans to buy a watch and some household items such as towels and soap.
There are so many watch brands, Seagull, Shanghai, Plum, Longines...
They are all brands with a sense of age.
Cen Huaian followed Chu Xia here and looked at the watches with her, with a different light in his eyes.
In the eyes of children, watches are something out of reach.
Many workers are reluctant to buy one, after all, it costs several months' salary.
Chuxia asked about the price, which ranged from tens to hundreds of yuan. The first-class domestic watches were Shanghai and Sea-Gull, while foreign ones included Tissot and Rolex.
Domestic watches are cheaper, imported ones are more expensive. The most expensive Rolex is worth four or five Shanghai watches, which is 450.
The most expensive Shanghai brand watch costs over a hundred dollars.
