Participating in a money-saving variety show, I became famous on the Internet by being stingy

Chapter 61 Playing Mahjong? Chen Xixi's frugal life is happier than mine!
Zheng He really wanted to slap himself twice now. Why was he so greedy?
If he sells these two burnt fish, he can make a small profit, and then buy two meat buns, which will taste more delicious and satisfying!

It's better than the burnt fish in front of me.

And he still has some money left...

The past is really hard to recall. The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel. Zheng He, who had just reached the peak of his life, felt like he had fallen to the bottom in an instant.

The smell of grilled fish in the yard made Wan Chen and Jin Cheng swallow unconsciously.

Wan Chen: "Jin Cheng and I just asked around and when we got to the fish pond, we saw Chen Xixi selling fish. I don't know how much he sold it for now."

Zheng He immediately stood up with the grilled fish in his hand, "Let's go! We're going to catch fish and sell them too!"

When the four of them arrived at the fish pond, Chen Xixi was already ready to go home.

Because she felt that she had caught enough fish today. After all, there were not many fish in the pond. If she sat down any longer, she might not catch any fish, and it would be a waste of time. One should be moderate when taking advantage of others, otherwise he might suffer a loss in the end.

She came empty-handed and left with sixty-three dollars.

Zheng He looked at Chen Xixi's elegant figure and his teeth were almost broken with jealousy.

Chen Xixi didn't eat breakfast or lunch, so she went to the convenience store.

She stood in front of a row of shelves, looking at the tempting hams and spicy strips. She couldn't help swallowing and asked, "Sister, which is the cheapest instant noodles?"

Having seen it is like having eaten it.

She swore that when she won five million in prize money she would make revenge spending.

I bought a box of all kinds of ham, a box of all kinds of spicy strips, and all kinds of snacks such as chicken feet and chicken necks without blinking an eye.

The eldest sister glanced at Chen Xixi. The girl was pretty, but unfamiliar and didn't look like a villager.

The elder sister took a closer look and picked up a bag of yellow-packaged instant noodles from the bottom of the shelf at the other end: "The cheapest one is this, 1.5 yuan."

A bag of instant noodles costs 1.5 yuan, and she also wants to buy a bowl.

“Do you sell stainless steel basins?”

“We don’t sell pots.”

Chen Xixi pursed her lips and turned her head to look at the bucket of instant noodles next to her. The cheapest bucket of instant noodles cost four yuan.

There is a difference of two dollars and fifty cents.

No matter how you look at it, packaged instant noodles are more cost-effective.

Chen Xixi was a little embarrassed.

When the eldest sister saw this, she thought that in the past, she seemed to only see such careful calculations among the aunties in the village.

It's rare to see a girl like this who has the potential to become an old lady at such a young age.

The older sister walked to the freezer nearby, took out two buckets of instant noodles, and kindly said, "If you think the normal buckets are too expensive and want something cheaper, you can take this, which is two yuan a bucket."

Chen Xixi asked curiously, "Why are these two so cheap?"

The eldest sister explained: "It's about to expire. It will expire in a week."

Chen Xixi took the bucket of noodles and carefully checked the dates on both buckets. After confirming that they would expire in a week, she directly paid four yuan and successfully bought the two buckets of instant noodles in full!
[It’s so suitable for those who are about to expire! Oh my god! I will buy this kind of thing next time! ]

[It’s half the price, what a bargain! ]

[It’s cheap, but if it were me, I might not be able to buy it. Usually when I go to the supermarket and see discounted yogurt that’s close to expiration, I’m too embarrassed to even approach it. I don’t know why… I feel like my status has been lowered and that others look down on me…]

[Yes, yes, me too. Every time I get close to discounted items, I feel like everyone walking by in the supermarket or shopping mall is looking at me, and I imagine what they are thinking: poor bastard, can’t afford to eat, so I can only buy these things that are about to expire.]

[The sister above really hit the nail on the head...][What's the big deal? Why is it shameful to save money in a reasonable way? Rich people are sometimes more calculating than ordinary people like us! Besides, even if we are rich, we can't just ignore cheap things and buy expensive things, and be taken advantage of, right?]

[I agree! We earn money through our own labor, spend it frugally, and make the most of every penny we earn through hard work. What's so shameful about this? ]

[But…real near-expiry foods are really suitable, but the most terrible thing is that the merchants re-spray the codes on the expired products and pretend to sell them as near-expiry products. So even if you buy near-expiry products, you should pay attention to whether the merchants are conscientious merchants.]

Chen Xixi had thought about the issue of the merchant re-spraying the code, but after some analysis, she found that there were only two barrels of expiring noodles in this convenience store, and they were not sold in batches, so this situation should not exist.

After paying, Chen Xixi did not leave immediately. She looked up at her elder sister, her clear and bright almond eyes curved, "Eldest sister, can you provide me with hot water?"

In fact, if you buy instant noodles in small supermarkets in the urban area of ​​Jiangshi, they all provide hot water and allow you to eat instant noodles.

However, such stores in the village generally do not have them. But if you mention it, the store owner will still give it to you if he has it at home.

After all, those who can come here to buy things are all acquaintances from the surrounding villages. It’s just a small amount of money, there’s nothing to worry about.

Chen Xixi is beautiful in herself, and with such an infectious sweet smile, the elder sister has no resistance to her.

The eldest sister responded repeatedly: "Yes, there is hot water."

When the eldest sister went into the house to get hot water, the door was open and the sound of mahjong could be heard from the room.

Chen Xixi peeked inside curiously, and the house was filled with a pungent smell of cigarette smoke.

There were two tables in total, and they were full.

The eldest sister coughed a few times when she came out with the kettle, then waved away the smoke with her hands, muttering, "Smoke less, look at the smell of smoke in this room! Open the door to get rid of the smell!"

The eldest sister brought hot water and Chen Xixi soaked the noodles. Soon the rich aroma of the noodles filled the whole house.

There was a yellow-haired guy at the two mahjong tables who smelled the instant noodles and became hungry.

They fought from morning to afternoon and didn't even have lunch.

"Sister-in-law! Make me a bowl of instant noodles!" The yellow-haired young man shouted without even looking up, and played a card: "30,000!"

[What? Thirty thousand for a bowl of instant noodles? Timeout, let me make this instant noodles! I can make him bankrupt!]

【Twenty thousand is enough for me! 】

[The person above, please don't disrupt the market. ]

[My dears, is it possible that... the next card he played is 30,000? ]

While Chen Xixi was enjoying the almost-expired instant noodles she bought at a 50% discount, Zheng He and his friends were still fishing.

Zheng He was fishing and eating grilled fish at the same time. However, he was not as lucky this time as he was in the morning. He sat there for a long time but no fish took the bait.

After Zheng He finished eating the grilled fish, he waited for another half a day. It was almost time for dinner, but he still hadn't caught any fish.

Zheng He said depressedly: "Could it be that Chen Xixi has caught all the fish in this pond?"

If Chen Xixi hadn't caught all the fish, could she have left so easily?
Han Qianyi sighed and said with some boredom: "I don't know." He didn't understand why some people liked fishing. Fishing was really boring!

[If Zheng He doesn't talk anymore, I'll think he's stuck. ]

[How long have the four of them been sitting here? They almost fell asleep! ]

[Don't look at them, go look at Chen Xixi! Chen Xixi is playing mahjong now! Hahaha! ]

[Damn! Playing mahjong? Chen Xixi's life of saving money is happier than mine! I admit I'm jealous! ]
