Chapter 84: More shopping

They will enter one shop then move to other one, just looking around. They also went to the ATM to withdraw some cash to be used in the village. When they need to make transaction with the villagers, they are not familiar with other type of payment, they mainly use cash, so cash is still essential.

They also enter a bookstore, not to buy book for them but to buy picture books, colouring books and storybooks for Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang. They may get bored in the Old Zhou house if they didn't buy them this. This is also good for their early learning.

"Ge, you wanted one?" Bai Yi Yang ask Bai Yi Chen when she saw the Oxford English dictionary.

"The small one." Bai Yi Chen nod as he pointed at the min version of the dictionary.

"Alright." Bai Yi Yang took the simplest one which is only 78 yuan for Bai Yi Chen. Then she took a bigger one that cost 311 yuan for Bai Yi Ling.

"Xiao Ling's?" Bai Yi Chen ask.

"Yeah." Bai Yi Yang nod.

"En. She seems very interested in English too." He said.

After paying a total of 459 yuan, they leave the bookstore. This time, they head to pick up the children. They will go to the mall after this. It's called a mall, but it is also a part of G Supermarket, the second floor of G Supermarket is called Supermall, selling low to mid tier clothes.

People from the village doesn't shop here, they went to small clothing store or clothes market since they are cheaper, this is the siblings first time coming here. When the salesgirl saw them wearing a certain authentic brand's clothes, she immediately become friendly. Even offering to bring them around. Well, this is a reality of life, people will look up to those who have money.

They siblings separated, Bai Yi Yang ask Bai Yi Chen to find something for Bai Yi Mo and himself while she go with the girls. Bai Yi Fang was so excited as she pick her clothes. Well, they can afford it, the prices are at 55-85 yuan for children dress. That is why Bai Yi Yang ask them to choose on their own.

The salesgirl is ecstatic, Supermall doesn't have much customers as G Supermarket downstairs. There are only 3-5 groups here today, so she called over another salesgirl to help Bai Yi Ling choose her clothes. Salesgirl will have commission depending on how much they sell so she call over her best friend to get this benefit.

Bai Yi Yang let her them be, the two salesgirl is very friendly too, they didn't lack with compliments but they also will not encourage customers buying if the clothes is ugly or unsuitable. Take this one example, Bai Yi Fang choose an over the top hot pink dress which cost 105 yuan, but it was really a bit ugly. The salesgirl still praise that they look good but suggest a different dress which is prettier and more suitable instead, the price is also much cheaper. That is why Bai Yi Yang let them be and go to choose her own clothes.

Bai Yi Yang went shopping on her own, she will politely decline when someone come to approach her. She choose a pair of soft purple flora crop top with skirt, a baby blue cardigan, a plaid smocked buttoned belted skirt paired with a crop top in light khaki colour, 2 belted short pants one in navy with white stripe and the other is cream in colour, a pair of pink jogger pants with printed white crop top, 2 white top and 2 black top with spaghetti strap, a blue and white denim jacket, and 3 more dresses with interesting pattern. After that she choose 3 pairs of casual outfits at home and also went to the shoes department to choose 2 sneakers. When she saw the basket filled with clothes she freeze.

"Do you need help miss?" A salesgirl come in time.

"Yes please." Bai Yi Yang said. The salesgirl smile and took another basket to put in the 2 sneakers.

"Do you deliver to houses?" Bai Yi Yang ask the salesgirl.

"That..let me ask the manager." The salesgirl ran to the counter and enter a room at the back. When she came out, she bring a woman wearing smart outfit with her.

"Miss, you asked about delivery, we actually have a rider but only in this town area." The manager said with a smile. She saw the two full baskets of good.

Bai Yi Yang sigh, seems like she cannot do much purchase today. She was going to tell the salesgirl to put some of the stuff away before the manager quickly say something else.

"But of course we can make an exception if your purchase is more than 1,000 yuan." The manager said with a big smile. That was close, so what if they need to deliver a bit far, this is a big customer ah.

"Really? Then I feel relieved." Bai Yi Yang smile. The salesgirl offer to bring the two baskets to the counter and she agree. She went to look for her two younger sisters after that.

"Have you finished picking?" Bai Yi Yang asked.

"Not yet.." Bai Yi Fang said.

"En, go ahead. Choose some home wear too." Bai Yi Yang said.

"En." Bai Yi Ling nod. Unlike Bai Yi Fang basket which is colourful, hers is more towards the pastel and soft colour. Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Mo is already sitting at a waiting area with only a basket.

"Finished?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"Yes, only choose a few pairs. We have enough clothes at home." Bai Yi Chen said.

"How about underwear?" Bai Yi Yang asked.

"Already.." Bai Yi Chen look around and answer.

"Let's look at the sneakers area. They are quite good." Bai Yi Yang asked them to follow her.

The two boys just follow her. Bai Yi Chen ends up choosing two sneakers when he heard that they will deliver. Bai Yi Mo only choose one. Bai Yi Yang also choose one each for her sisters.

Then, they also choose new school bags for the three of them, Bai Yi Yang really forgot about this

When they return to the two girls, they are also done choosing. Just like Bai Yi Yang, their basket is also full. Bai Yi Chen was speechless with the his younger sisters shopping power.

"Did you choose carefully?" Bai Yi Yang asked.

"En. This jiejie help us.." Bai Yi Ling nod.

"Okay. Let's pay." Bai Yi Yang bring them to the counter.

After counting all, the total come out as 3,998 yuan. The amount is more but it is cheaper than her last purchase. As promised, the manager come out and agree to make delivery to their home. The manager smile is wide when she saw the receipt, what a big customer they have today, luckily she act fast just now. What more, this address is also not far, only a 30 minutes drive at most. Bai Yi Yang leave the address and they leave the department store.

After that, they make a few purchases at G Supermarket which cost 315 yuan, then head to the butcher store and bought a few kilo of meat. The butcher remember Bai Yi Chen and he ask if they were his siblings? He then payed 86 yuan worth of meat.

After that, they head to the wet market, Bai Yi Yang is only interested with the prawn. When she found a seller with big and fresh prawn, they sold it for 35 yuan/kilo. Bai Yi Yang didn't think much and purchase 4 kilo of prawn which cost her 140 yuan.

When she saw a lot of fresh seafood, she suddenly remember about seafood boil, they have fresh corn in the fridge, she also bought more potatoes just now, she is only missing seafood. Bai Yi Yang then purchased 2 kilo of live and fresh big crabs, 2 kilo of clam which cost 96 yuan and they have squid at home This is enough. Bai Yi Chen didn't ask why she buy so much, he is not even shocked anymore.

After that, they bought two bags of snacks before walking to the nearest bus stop. Since Bai Yi Chen is there and Bai Yi Ling can hold onto the two kids, they all just walk for less than 10 minutes to the nearest bus stop. Just nice, one van only need 3 more customers so Bai Yi Yang said that she will pay for 3 adults and 2 children. The van driver immediately agree.

They arrived at the village bus stop at 12.35 pm and they all walk back home with stuffs in their hand. They arrive home a few minutes passed 1.00 pm.

Everyone helps arranging the things and Bai Yi Ling immediately went to feed the puppies, when they returned, the puppies was making pitiful sound and already come out of their big dog house. TongTong was laughing at this sight and it immediately went to scold the puppies for being hungry too fast when they were fed before they all leave the house this morning.

Since they ate in town and also eat a few snacks, Bai Yi Yang think that a simple sandwich is enough for lunch. Bai Yi Yang make cheese and ham sandwiches and that was their lunch.

[1 point earned. Total points:283 points.]

Finished with their simple lunch they all changed their clothes and the two kids is too active to take a nap, so they played at the yard with the puppies and TongTong. As for Bai Yi Yang, she proceed with cleaning the seafood, Bai Yi Ling also help with that.

"Jie, what are you making with these much seafood?" Bai Yi Ling is helping with brushing the crab at the sink.

"Seafood boils. It a Western food and they are very delicious." She said.

"I rarely have Western food before but since you started cooking them, I am used to it now." Bai Yi Chen said.

"We had western food before?" Bai Yi Ling was dumbfounded. She doesn't really know which one is western and which one is not. She only think that her sister is very talented in cooking, she makes a lot of food that she is not familiar with but they were so delicious. She tasted a lot if different variety of food, so they had Western food before?

"The rib rack, garlic butter roasted chicken, sandwiches, smoothies…they are all Wester style food." Bai Yi Yang said.

"All those delicious thing?" Bai Yi Ling ask, getting more interested in Western food. Local cuisine is very delicious, but certainly Western food taste very good too.

"Yeah." Bai Yi Yang nod and smile. Seeing Bai Yi Ling's reaction, she decided to make more variety of food for her siblings in the future. Let them try delicacies all around the world.
