Chapter 123 Foodies Are a
Family Chao Yubo drove his private car out of the low-key sports ground, made a half circle and turned towards the west gate. After leaving school, he rushed to the supermarket non-stop, did some shopping and drove back to Qingdao University.
Towards evening, the roads outside the school were mostly crowded, with people coming off work and picking up children from school, so traffic jams were easy. In order to avoid wasting time, he parked his car on campus after entering the school from the west gate, got on, walked out, and walked to Waiting at the bus stop.
Buses came one after another, and came and went. The delicate young man sat quietly in the corner of the bus station, watching the passing of people and cars indifferently.
The time hand ticked past five o'clock, slowly pointing to half past five, and dusk gradually began to infect the sky.
It was half past five, and three buses stopped at the bus station one after another. The handsome young man paid attention to the passengers getting off the bus. When he saw a brisk figure getting off the bus in the middle, he stood up with a smile. The next moment, when Seeing the cute short-haired little girl followed by two people, his beautiful and slender eyebrows frowned slightly. How could those two people be walking with Lele?
When the bus arrived at the station, Le Yun looked around quickly as she stepped on the ground, and saw the beautiful boy standing there to pick her up. She waved her paws happily and ran with a ding-ding-dong sound: "Brother Chao, I'm here!"
Young Master Yan and Liu Xiangyang were a step behind and saw the little girl jumping to the side. When they looked around, they saw the Chao family brother. It was quite unpleasant. They were just going shopping and the Chao family boy came to pick her up. It was too much. Protect the calf.
The crisp and sweet girl's voice was as sweet as a bell. The young man frowned slightly, with a smile in his eyes. He walked over unhurriedly, got closer, reached out and rubbed the little head in front of him: "Lele, too. You're almost going crazy. You must have found a lot of good stuff. I see your backpack is a bit heavy." "It's
not too heavy, it weighs about twenty kilograms." Le Yun quickly took the hand that was on top of her head and held the beautiful boy's arm. The arm: "Brother Chao, let me tell you, I bought an inkstone today and sold it out. I made a hundred times the money of a hundred times. The lovely old man who sold my inkstone was named Teng. He also gave me his business card. I Are you very popular?"
The little girl clung to the boy from the Chao family affectionately. That scene almost made Hua Yanxing and Liu Xiangyang look bad in the eyes. The little girl could also act coquettishly? !
"Well, Lele's popularity is indeed very good. If I guess correctly, the old man named Teng is named Teng Xiangqiang, right?" Little Lele came to present treasures and report like a child, which made Chao Yubo feel warm in his heart. I really want to pinch her cheeks. Xiao Lele is lucky. She likes Mr. Teng. Whenever she finds something valuable and wants to sell it, Mr. Teng can help introduce it, so she doesn’t have to worry about having no way to sell it.
"Yes, the lovely old gentleman is called Teng Xiangqiang. Do you know Brother Chao?"
"We know a little bit, but our friendship is not very deep. Mr. Teng is one of the most conscientious players in the collecting world. He has an excellent reputation and a private hobby. Ancient inkstones, the collection of high-value inkstones is no less than 20 yuan. The old man is also the most ancient-minded, approachable, and willing to help the younger generations. Lele is interested in antique knowledge and asks Mr. Teng for advice when he has time." "La la la, it seems that
I I really had great luck today and met a good person. Brother Chao, where is your car? Wait for me. I want to go to the small supermarket to buy something." "No need to go, I went to buy some vegetables. The car is parked
at your Let's go to the place where the bicycles are parked."
"What did Brother Chao buy?"
"I bought rapeseed, beans, bamboo shoots, green peppers, pumpkins, radishes, ribs and fish."
The boy let the little girl cross her arms as if they were holding her thighs , turned around with a smile on his face and strolled towards the school.
Brother Chao and the little girl ignored him. Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu were filled with displeasure at being ignored. They were ignored, ignored, ignored... The two
resentful young men walked a few steps quickly and squeezed in beside the little girl. Shan If they don't come, just leave them alone. If they don't come, just go to the mountain. That's alright, right?
"What a coincidence, Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu are also going back to school." Seeing the two young masters approaching, Chao Yubo couldn't pretend to ignore them, and said hello to the two handsome young men with a slight smile.
"Yeah, yeah, we happen to be on the same road." The two brothers nodded hurriedly. They originally thought that the young man would ask them where they had been, whether they had eaten or something, but in the end, the beautiful young man had nothing to say.
Well!
Liu Xiangyang was so depressed that he wanted to pull his hair. Little Princess Chao didn’t ask them or chat with them. They had no way to find a reason to go to the little beauty’s place to eat. Why didn’t Little Princess Chao chat with them? Why didn’t she ask them “eat”? Is it time for dinner?” If you ask that kind of question, he can just say, “You haven’t eaten yet, let’s go to a restaurant together.” Then, if the young man refuses to go and goes back to cook and eat, then he has the right to follow him as a guest. ah.
In line with the principle of not having to be immoral for the sake of delicious food, Mr. Liu originally wanted to bring the conversation to the important matter of eating, but the young man from the Chao family kept telling the little girl about tomorrow's military training and told her what the process would be like tomorrow. Let's go and tell her some coping experiences summed up by the old students, etc., but he couldn't get in the middle of the conversation. Even if he succeeded in grabbing the conversation, the young man would change the topic to the precautions in all aspects of military training.
The plan failed, and Young Master Liu resigned in frustration. He was far less important than Young Master Chao in the heart of the little beauty. He was just a passerby, A, B, and C, and he had no sense of presence.
He was depressed, and the road from the bus station to the west gate of Qingdao University was trampled under his feet. The four of them walked into the school gate and went to the parking lot to pick up the car.
The motorcycles of Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu were also parked in the school, and they were still going the same way. When they got there, the beautiful young man opened the backup compartment, loaded Classmate Le's bicycle into it, and drove back to the dormitory.
"..." The two handsome young men looked at Qi Rui walking away, feeling gloomy in their hearts. Little Princess Chao forgot about her friends!
"Xiao Xingxing, for the sake of food, can you please give in to the little beauty as soon as possible?" Thinking that the little beauty did not invite him to be a guest, Liu Xiangyang was heartbroken and bleeding. He had to eat public food again tonight, which was very heartbreaking.
Yan Xing pursed his lips and straddled the motorcycle with his straight long legs. The smile on his handsome face remained unchanged, his eyes were gloomy and gloomy. The little loli's heart was smaller than a needle. Is it useful for him to admit his mistake?
Mr. Yan remained silent. Liu Xiangyang had no choice but to deal with such a brother. He was also drunk! He resignedly unlocked the door and got in the car. He was about to drive back to his dormitory when a cold voice came from behind: "If you don't go to the restaurant first to find something to eat, why don't you go back and drink the northwest wind?" Liu Xiangyang almost choked to death. It was clearly Xiao Xingxing who had brought this on
. The little beauty offends others and is not welcome, so why open fire on him now? He paused and muttered in dissatisfaction: "...there are instant noodles in the dormitory."
"I am a patient and need to supplement my nutrition."
"...Okay, let's go to the restaurant." Liu Xiangyang choked again and turned around to drive outside the school. He is the older brother and he wants to protect his younger brother. He must protect his younger brother from being bullied. , The younger brother must be willing to spend money, and the younger brother must be willing to bear the anger towards him...
Young Master Yan and Young Master Liu are in bad moods. Student Le Xiao is in a good mood. He successfully got rid of the two followers, and his eyes almost narrowed with joy, don't worry. How happy I am.
The car returned to the Zhuangyuan building, and as soon as it braked, Le Yun smiled and hugged the beautiful young brother's arm: "Brother Chao, I went shopping today, and handsome Liu and the others also ran to join in the fun, and the guy named Yan helped advance the payment. Four hundred and forty yuan, please help me transfer the money to Yan from the money he paid for my medicine yesterday, so as to avoid a long night of nightmares." "
Okay, I'll transfer the money to him right away." Chao Yubo was about to unbuckle his safety belt. , when he heard that he was asked to pay back the money immediately, he did as he was told. He was also reluctant to see Xiao Lele's favor with Young Master Yan. It would have been easy to pay back the money long ago.
Yesterday, Mr. Yan gave him a bank transfer of 11%, and he couldn't see Mr. Yan's bank account number. However, there was a QQ red envelope on his mobile phone, and he could deposit it into Young Master Yan's red envelope by transferring money through the mobile phone.
The young man neatly transferred 440 yuan from his mobile phone to Mr. Yan's mobile phone, and then quickly typed out a line of text and sent it to explain the reason.
Liu Xiangyang used a motorcycle to drive Mr. Yan out of Qingdao University to look for a restaurant. He actually wanted to go to a restaurant. Of course he wanted to find a decent restaurant. Therefore, he did not look for it near the school, but ran to a famous restaurant farther away.
While they were still on the road, Mr. Yan's cell phone screen vibrated. He didn't have to drive, so he took out his cell phone and received two messages. The first one informed him that he had received a sum of money. When he saw the number, his eyebrows twisted into a willow shape. Isn't the number the total price he paid for the little loli?
I quickly looked at the second text message, which was from Brother Chao: Lele said that Young Master Yan had paid 440 yuan in advance, and now it is returned to Young Master Yan, thank you!
...
Yan Xing stared at the text message, and his face covered by the helmet suddenly turned black. He felt uncomfortable because he was cheated. At least he could accept it, but he returned all the money. Doesn't this mean that Xiao Luo Didn't Leigh even bother asking him to pay?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He angrily put the phone back into the phone case and tried to hide it out of sight.
Young Master Liu didn't know that Mr. Yan was about to explode. He drove happily, enjoying the wonderful happiness of free riding, and drove all the way to a famous restaurant.
Classmate Chao transferred the money to Mr. Yan, unbuckled the car, and took out the purchased items from the trunk. He also bought a bag of rice and some long-lasting ingredients, such as seaweed, kelp, yuba, and dried bamboo shoots. .
Le Yun first sent the bicycle to the carport to park, then turned around and twisted the rice with one hand, and twisted away most of the heavier food with the other, leaving only a small amount for the beautiful young brother to carry.
The beautiful boy only carried a few dry ingredients and meat. He had gained enough strength in the past two days and was no longer out of breath when climbing stairs. He followed the little girl and climbed to the fourth floor in one go.
When she arrived at the dormitory, she saw that the door was open and there were some breathing sounds. Le Yun thought for a moment and rushed in to see if Brother Li was doing something shameful.
Li Yubo and Cai Zijun walked back to the dormitory. They went to the eighth floor first and went to the big scholar's dormitory to pick up the books. They tied up the books that Mr. Chen Shuyuan had moved to his dormitory yesterday before classmate Li had time to move them away. Each of them carried a bundle and sent them away. Go to Little Loli's dormitory and turn back.
When I came back from delivering books, I happened to meet Chen Shuyuan who was returning from playing basketball. He had a rest in the afternoon and went to the sports field for some exercise. Chen Shuyuan is a talented and handsome man. He is a fifth-year student this year. He is studying for a bachelor's degree in conjunction with an eight-year program. This semester is also the last one. He will live in Qingdao University for one semester, and most of his courses in the next semester will be in the hospital. He will also move to the dormitory of the Medical University for the convenience of studying nearby.
He was in his fifth year of college and had read a lot of books in four years. Considering that two juniors could not move them all at once, he happened to be free and helped his juniors bundle the books and send them to the dormitory of the junior girls.
Classmate Chen lived on the eighth floor, and classmate Le lived on the fourth floor of another building. The three boys moved down the books from the eighth floor and climbed to the fourth floor. They were as tired as dogs. When they arrived at their destination, they all sat on the floor in a shapeless manner. Go up to the panda stall.
Before the three of them could catch their breath, they heard the thumping of footsteps and did not think that it might be classmate Chao and the master who were back. After all, the freshmen had reported that there were also several top freshman students living on the sixth and seventh floors here. It's not surprising that someone comes upstairs at this time.
When they heard footsteps knocking on the floor, the three of them were startled. Just as they were about to get up, it was already too late. A petite girl rushed into the living room of the dormitory like a whirlwind. The little girl was holding a bag of ten kilograms of rice in each hand. Bags, twisting large and small bags with one hand, her pink face was pink, and a pair of watery eyes looked straight at them.
"..." The three boys were dumbfounded at that time. It was over, their handsome and unrestrained image was gone!
Le Yun rushed into the dormitory and saw the three people lying dead at a glance. She could only recognize Brother Li, who was leaning against the wall and collapsed into strips of flesh. The other two, one stretched his legs and put his hands back on the ground to support himself. He wears gold-rimmed glasses, has a long and well-proportioned figure, and has a strong bookish flavor; the other rests his elbows on a bundle of books. In comparison, he is smaller, and he is also a white-faced scholar, and he is still very quiet. Scholarly appearance.
"Oh, Xiao Lele, you're back." Li Yubo was dumbfounded for three seconds, jumped up, patted his butt, and said with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, the one without glasses is Chen Shuyuan Senior, I am a fifth-year student this year. Senior Chen is handsome, handsome, handsome, talented, and knowledgeable. He is a top scholar in the clinical field of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. He is the kind of person who gets bonuses and gets soft. I have been beaten to the point of being completely bruised by him. The person
wearing glasses is Cai Zijun, who is in the same grade as me. He is a junior in college, majoring in clinical Western medicine. He is as tall as a bamboo and stands like a green pine. He is beautiful and has a good temperament. He is also the deputy director of the Literature Department of the Student Union. These two Existence has killed the talents of the Medical Department countless times. Lele, don’t be polite. Just try your best to surpass them. A wave from the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead and beat them to death on the beach." "How can you be like that
? It's for the introducer." Chen Shuyuan got up dumbfounded, and turned to the little Loli girl with a shy smile: "Little Loli elementary school girl, don't listen to his nonsense, the Medical Department is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, we are so far away from that kind of person The talent level of the medical department is still far behind. This guy is purely jealous of us, so he is seeking revenge." "That's
right, little loli, don't listen to Minister Li's nonsense about helping us, this guy's thoughts are... It's extremely bad, he's helping us incite hatred." Cai Zijun stood up, flicking away the non-existent dust, pushing up his glasses with one hand, his demeanor was graceful, gentle and gentle.
The two young men stood up, and their heights were immediately apparent. Student Chen was less than 1.7 meters tall, and was even smaller when compared to classmates Li and Cai. He was relatively shy, with a hint of rosy color on his fair face.
"Hello, seniors, thank you for your hard work." Le Yun was so amused by Brother Li's introduction that she grinned so much that she rolled her lips behind her ears, blinked her watery almond eyes, and said hello to the two seniors.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Two young men, one tall and one short, responded hurriedly.
"Senior Chen, great talent, you can sit by yourself, just like in Da Li and I's dormitory, without any restraints." Chao Yubo fell two steps behind and greeted the two boys with a smile when he saw that they were slightly embarrassed.
Chen Shuyuan and Cai Zijun secretly looked down at Chairman Chao and acted casually in front of such a cute little loli. If the little loli made the elementary school girl cry, would you help?
When the two of them saw classmate Li running to sit down, they were not polite. They straightened their appearance and sat down to rest elegantly and calmly.
Chao Yubo put the things he was carrying next to the refrigerator and went to accompany the guests first.
As the owner, Le Yun couldn't be idle. She put down the big and small bags, twisted the rice and backpack into the bedroom, threw them all aside, and took the cucumbers and tomatoes from the balcony into the small kitchen. She washed the fruits, put the tomatoes on a plate, and took the cucumbers with a knife. Cut it into slices and serve it to the seniors as tea.
Smelling the refreshing aroma of cucumber, the four boys' throats were already on fire. When the fruit was served, the four of them looked at each other and took action almost at the same time. Each of them grabbed a toothpick and started working quickly.
"..." Le Yun's eyes almost dropped to the ground, this speed is amazing!
The four people over there were in a shapeless eating mode. She turned back to the small kitchen, washed the rice and cooked it first, collected the rice water, put it in a small basin and put it on the balcony. She went back to find the ribs and cleaned them. After removing the blood and preparing to cook it, he stuck his head out and asked, "Superior seniors, do you prefer fried pork ribs or pork rib soup?" "Well, I'm not picky about food." "We eat whatever the seniors
cook
. "
Lele just decides."
The four handsome guys who were grabbing melon slices almost choked. They waited for a second and then hurriedly expressed that they had no objection.
Okay, Le Yun shook her head in a funny way. Brother Chao was right. Most of the people he knew were foodies. When he met foodies, he only saw food in his eyes and would not think about other things for the time being.
Since the seniors are not picky eaters, she happily decided to make soup, threw the ribs into the rice cooker, went to the bedroom first and pretended to get the ingredients, took out the yams and dried mushrooms and put them in the kitchen for later use, and then went to choose the beans. , rapeseed, and pumpkin for dinner, with green peppers and green onions as condiments.
Pick out the dinner dishes, take them to the kitchen with the fish, secretly mix the green vegetables, remove half of them, and mix them with space products and the ones you bought.
Le Xiao's classmate was busy making dinner, and the four top-ranked boys ate up the cucumber in a flurry. Each of them reached out to grab a tomato and gnawed it beautifully.
There were four tomatoes, one for each person, so there was nothing to grab. Therefore, the four of them had a tacit understanding to carve up the cucumbers and then eat the tomatoes.
It was the first time that Chen Shuyuan and Cai Zijun ate such delicious cucumbers. Their hearts were so beautiful that they flew away. After taking a bite of tomatoes, they felt as light as flying in the clouds.
A tomato is only that big, and no matter how carefully you chew it, it will still be eaten up. The four of them ate up the fruit one after another, wiping their mouths, still not satisfied, looking at the small kitchen eagerly, and just wanted to say: Is there anything else? Let’s have another one.
Cai Zijun regretted endlessly. In order to protect his hands yesterday, he refused to do hard work and missed out on delicious food. Fortunately, he did not become a deserter today, otherwise he would not be able to eat pollution-free fruits.
Chen Shuyuan was particularly proud. Fortunately, he felt compassion for a moment and was afraid that Junior Brother Li would be exhausted, so he did a little favor, so he ate the specialties brought by the Loli elementary school girls from his hometown that Junior Brother Li mentioned.
The four of them sat for a while, without anyone urging them, and went to move the books again. After moving twice before, only a small number of Chen's professional books were not moved, and some of the professional books of classmate Cai were not moved.
The four of them packed the books and gave them to classmate Chao in small portions. Each person held a bundle and went downstairs to move the books to Little Loli's dormitory. Classmate Chen's four-year professional textbooks were added to the classmate's two-year textbooks. There were several large bundles of textbooks stacked together, and the number looked quite scary.
The academically top boys crawled back to Little Loli's dormitory and smelled the aroma of cooking. They closed the door smartly and tactfully. The smell was so fragrant. If someone caught the smell and came in to inquire about information, it wouldn't be a good idea not to stay if they were acquaintances. If you keep people to eat, you will take away their share. It is better to close the door, isolate yourself from the outside world, and prevent prying eyes.
With nothing to do, the four foodies sat and waited for dinner.
Around six o'clock, the sky became dark, and then the twilight became thicker and thicker. By six-thirty, night enveloped the earth.
Classmate Le Xiao fried beans, rapeseed, and marinated the fish in the seasoning water before frying the pumpkin. When the pumpkin came out of the pot, the fish was almost marinated, and the water was boiled in the pot, and then the fish was steamed in the pot.
That dish was one of the recipes she found online last night. It was her first time to try it. The specific steps were: cut the ginger and green onions into shreds and soak them in water for about fifteen minutes; the second step was to soak them in water. Marinate the fish in water for about ten minutes. Make a few cuts on the back of the whole fish to enhance the flavor. The
third step is to add water to the pot and bring it to a boil. Add an appropriate amount of cooking wine, put the fish in and steam it. When steaming the fish, put a Just isolate the stand from the water and steam over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes;
the fourth step is to burn the oil. Before burning the oil, put the fish in a bowl, pour an appropriate amount of soy sauce, put the shredded ginger and green onion on the fish, bring the oil to a boil, and pour On the fish, such a fresh and tender steamed fish comes out of the oven.
The fish was plated, and the last dish was ready. Little classmate Le shouted, and the delicate boy and Mr. Li rushed into the small kitchen to serve the dishes, grab the bowls and chopsticks, and were very busy.
Three vegetables, fish, yam and pork ribs soup, four vegetables and one soup. The aroma is rich and it will make people want to eat just looking at it.
In the evening, there were five people again. After the master moved his chopsticks symbolically, and after secretly swallowing saliva for one hundred and one times in the morning, the fourth academic master, whose eyes were as bright as torches, transformed into a wolf in a second and started a crazy attack to grab food again.
Four people, you pick up this dish, he goes to pick up that dish, pick up this side and that side, first pick up a little of each dish, put it in the bowl, start eating, and then grab it again.
Don’t even like fish?
Le Yun looked around and found that no one was eating fish. She couldn't help but wonder, was she not confident in the fish she cooked?
No one appreciated it, so she had no choice but to cook and sell it herself. She picked a piece of meat from the belly of the fish, tasted it, and took a bite. The meat was very tender. She felt that even if it was her first time to cook steamed fish, she would still get a passing grade. of.
When she finished chewing a piece of meat and wanted to pick another fish to eat, she realized that in just a short moment, only the bones were left in half of the fish.
this?
Classmate Le was confused. No one had eaten just now, but in the blink of an eye, half of it was eaten. What on earth could he say? After a few glances, she suddenly understood that they didn't like to eat because they were afraid of wasting time.
To eat fish, you have to pick out the meat pieces from the fish one by one. It doesn't have to be so troublesome to pick up other dishes. Therefore, when she didn't open the door, no one wanted to be the first person. When she took away a piece of meat, she also opened the door. , they ran to taste it, split half of the meat, and were busy grabbing other dishes, so no one turned over the fish.
The world of foodies, a strange world.
Student Le turned the fish over silently, picked out all the meat, and took away the fish head. As soon as she removed her hand, four pairs of chopsticks were put into the fish plate, each one shared a piece, and then came out again. Chopsticks, snatch up all the fish meat.
When all the other dishes were divided, Chao used his chopsticks to move the fish bones with fish tails and meat into the bowl, and occupied the pork ribs soup. The other three were not to be left behind, dividing the vegetable soup and fish soup. Drop it and eat it with rice.
Le Yun: "..." Do your family members and elders know that you are like this? Do your relatives and friends know?
The four top foodies picked up the last grain of rice in the bowl, wiped their mouths with paper towels, and wiped their fingers slowly. In a second, they returned to their gentle and noble demeanor.
"Little Lolita, I just want to say one thing, I will give you the food expenses, two thousand a month, you can cook whatever you like." "
Same as above, don't ask for more, just take care of two meals a day, one dish for each meal is fine."
Classmates Chen and Cai each said one sentence, looking expectantly at the little Loli elementary school girl, "Little Loli, please take care of me!" Asking for a meal!
"Alas, someone is following in my footsteps again. They are all guys who have big dreams." Li Yubo shook his head sympathetically. He also wanted to pay living expenses, but it was a pity that he was photographed back.
"Back, my sister doesn't have time to eat in country M. In addition to these books, there are countless books waiting to be read. If you have time during the holidays, maybe I can treat you to a meal. Of course, if there is anything you don't understand, please ask. When instructing students to study, they are usually in charge of the food."
"Are you serious?"
"Aren't you lying?"
Guiding little girls to study is a good job. You can admire the beautiful little girls and girls, and you have something to eat. Who can I don't like who is a fool.
"It's a lie."
"It's settled. If you need anything, remember to call us. Also, we cover these two subjects. You can't replace them with others. For other subjects, we can also help introduce the most suitable ones." After all, we know the level of talents in the medical department relatively well."
Li Yubo was about to vomit blood. Damn it, what kind of brothers do you think you are to grab credit like this? Is it his job to help Lele find books and seek guidance from masters to study? Anyone who takes his job will be beaten to death!
Chao Yubo has a bright smile. If he wants to win people's hearts, he must buy his stomach first. Lele has a popular face and good cooking skills. If he wants to develop in an all-round way, he wants to seek guidance from academic masters to get twice the result with half the effort.
The boy and Mr. Li smiled and went to wash the dishes. Senior Chen and classmate Cai also wanted to help. They were reassured by the words "From now on, we will take turns following the principle of not cooking and washing dishes."
The talented man and classmate Chen left their phone numbers, added their Q numbers and WeChat accounts, and wanted to invite the elementary school girls to go shopping on the night street together. However, classmate Chao lured the three of them away on the grounds that Xiao Lele had to get up early to gather early tomorrow.
After seeing off the four foodie seniors, Le Yun rushed to the dormitory without saying anything. It was important to deal with the antiques and second-hand goods she had bought.
