Since there are no buses to the southern suburbs and considering that a large amount of ingredients may need to be purchased, Ye Hong had to ask his neighbor Lao Dong to borrow their electric tricycle.
Lao Dong is the owner of Dong's BBQ restaurant next door. He always has a smile on his fat, round face, like a Maitreya Buddha.
He drives his tricycle to the market every day to buy goods.
Lao Dong has a good temper and is very similar to Ye Hong's father, Ye Xiao. The two often get together for a drink.
But his wife Xiao Chunlan had a mean look on her face.
Hearing that Ye Hong wanted to borrow a tricycle, the old Dong agreed without even thinking about it.
On the contrary, Xiao Chunlan's face looked a little ugly, and she muttered a few words to Lao Dong in a low voice: "I know how to borrow things from outside all day long, and I can still collect some rent from others when I borrow a car for a day.
It's better for you to lend it to others for no reason. What a pig-headed person who doesn't know how to do business! "
Although Xiao Chunlan's voice was small, there was no way she could hide it from Ye Hong, who had enhanced hearing.
Ye Hong frowned and said to Old Dong: "Uncle Dong, please give me a price. I can't borrow your car for free."
Old Dong immediately glared at Xiao Chunlan, then smiled boldly and said: "You brat, I have been neighbors with Uncle Dong for so many years, and you still don't understand your Uncle Dong's temper
Stop mentioning money or not. If you mention it again, Uncle Dong won’t lend it to you! "
Xiao Chunlan didn't seem to expect that Ye Hong could hear her words clearly, so she laughed awkwardly a few times, but didn't dare to say anything else.
The unhappiness in his heart was instantly eliminated by Old Dong's attitude. Ye Hong couldn't help but smile and nod: "Thank you, Uncle Dong."
Ye Hong had driven his grandfather's tricycle before, so he was familiar with it and drove the car on the road.
Tricycle is probably about the same age as Lao Dong.
The rusty car body was driving on the road, making constant clanking noises, as if it might fall apart at any time.
Many passers-by pointed at the old tricycle and made fun of it.
"When will Ironhide be able to run on the road?"
"Little brother, cherish life!"
"That rag collector over there, stop looking, he's talking about you!"
Ye Hong really wanted to cover his face with a piece of cloth.
"Ding! Control the electric tricycle, driving ability +1, current progress 1/10, current level: entry level."
After about twenty minutes, Ye Hong finally arrived at the Man Yuan Spring Vegetable Market in the southern suburbs.
"Ding! Continue to control the electric tricycle, driving ability +1, current progress 8/10"
After finding a place to park the tricycle, Ye Hong started his purchasing trip with a list of raw materials made in advance.
“First is the sticky rice”
Ye Hong took the list and walked back and forth in the noisy vegetable market.
As I walked past one store after another, I was gradually covered with large and small bags.
"Ding! Carrying heavy objects, weight-bearing ability +1, current progress: 1/10, current level: entry level."
"Ding! Carrying heavy objects, arm strength +1, current progress: 1/10, current level: entry level."
At the same time, two figures, an old man and a young man, just stepped through the gate of the vegetable market.
The old man was wearing a luxurious black trench coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the temperament of a gentle scholar.
He is holding a beautiful little girl of four or five years old in his right hand, wearing a pink skirt, as delicate and cute as a doll.
"Grandpa, grandpa, the vegetable market is so lively!"
The little girl jumped up and down excitedly, looking here and there, how novel it was.
The old man smiled fondly: "There are so many people here, Xian'er, you have to hold on to grandpa's hand. Grandpa doesn't want our little princess to be abducted by human traffickers."
In the crowded crowd, there was a pair of cold eyes, quietly staring at the grandfather and grandson!
