Chapter 256 Starting Again in the Countryside
Feeling he had a good grasp of the shrinking and expanding spells, Li Qin immediately began experimenting.
He first took out a meat bun stored in the ring space.
Then he stretched out his finger and gently pointed at the steamed bun;
"Shrink quickly!"
The meat buns, originally the size of an adult's fist, began to shrink rapidly in proportion.
It quickly turned into a miniature version of a steamed bun, only the size of a little finger egg.
However, this is only the first step; the next step of the experiment will be conducted:
Li Qin used a pulverizing spell to crush the shrunken bun, then put the crushed bun directly into his mouth.
He swallowed with his saliva.
Once the food had entered his stomach through his esophagus, Li Qin immediately released the shrinking spell.
He instantly felt a sense of fullness in his stomach.
However, I did not feel any swelling.
A smile immediately appeared on Li Qin's lips:
"It's a success!"
Now that the experiment was successful, Li Qin naturally did not hesitate any longer.
He immediately took out a large meat bun from his storage ring;
Among them are pork, venison, and tiger meat.
Li Qin separated them into different categories and put them together.
"Shrink quickly!"
As Li Qin kept tapping his finger on each meat bun, they all shrank into tiny pieces. Originally, more than ten buns together formed a small mountain of buns.
Nowadays, these buns have been shrunk down; a dozen or so buns combined are not even as big as a fist.
"That way, there's no need to worry about going hungry."
With a delighted expression, Li Qin stored the shrunken buns into his storage ring.
You can take it out when you need it.
After finishing the food, Li Qin checked the time.
They realized that the time they had agreed upon with Yuan Zhi was approaching.
He quickly stepped out of the space, pushed his bicycle, and walked towards the outside of the courtyard.
At this time, most of the other residents of the courtyard house who were supposed to go to work had already left home.
Therefore, when Li Qin left, he saw only some older women or children; there was no one else there.
"Xiao Li, are you going to work at the steel rolling mill?"
As Li Qin pushed his cart past the Central Courtyard, he happened to see an elderly woman washing herself by the pool.
Upon seeing Li Qin, the middle-aged woman greeted him with a friendly expression.
Although Li Qin looked down on Yi Zhonghai's character, she didn't have much dissatisfaction with the older woman.
He knew very well that the woman was just an ordinary, traditional housewife who always adhered to the principle of being kind to others.
He has hardly had any conflicts with anyone in his half-life.
Within the courtyard house, it's rare to have a heated argument with someone.
Li Qin first smiled and nodded at the middle-aged woman, then casually said:
"Yes, I'm going to work, but not to the steel mill. I'm going to the countryside to purchase supplies."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across the middle-aged woman's face.
Because Li Qin always left home earlier in the morning whenever he went to the countryside, at least earlier than other people who went to work.
Only those who work at the steel rolling mill leave home later than others.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened today.
A moment later, the middle-aged woman realized what was happening and said with concern:
"The countryside isn't very safe, so please be careful on the road."
Li Qin could clearly sense that the old woman's words were heartfelt concern.
He immediately smiled and nodded again;
"Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I will be careful."
Li Qin then spoke again:
"Auntie, I have to go to the countryside, so I won't talk to you any longer. There are people waiting for me."
"Then you should go quickly!"
The older woman quickly waved her hand.
Seeing this, Li Qin didn't linger any longer and left with his bicycle.
By the time Li Qin arrived at the South Gate by bicycle, it was almost time for the agreed-upon meeting.
He spotted a familiar figure in the distance, near the south gate.
Li Qin immediately rode his bicycle there;
"How's it going? Have you been waiting long?"
As he approached, Li Qin looked at Yuan Zhi and asked casually.
Yuan Zhi quickly shook his head;
"No, no, I just arrived not long ago."
Li Qin didn't care whether he was being polite or had really just arrived; he had just said hello casually anyway.
No matter when Yuan Zhi arrived, as long as Li Qin made sure he wasn't late, he wouldn't feel like he had done anything wrong. "It's almost time, get in the car quickly, we'll set off now, the sooner we leave, the sooner we'll be back."
Li Qin then gestured for Yuan Zhi to get into the car.
However, Yuan Zhi did not immediately get into the car as Li Qin instructed. Instead, he carefully took something out of his pocket and handed it over.
A hint of doubt flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
However, I still took the things without hesitation.
"Brother Li, this is the receipt for the supplies purchased yesterday."
Seeing Li Qin take it, Yuan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke.
Li Qin looked at it and realized it was true.
He first looked at the information recorded on the certificate.
After finding no problem, he smiled and put the certificate away, then nodded to Yuan Zhi and said:
"There's no problem with the proof."
Just when Li Qin thought there was nothing else to do, Yuan Zhi took out a few cents and a receipt from his pocket again.
"Brother Li, here's the money from yesterday's Daqianmen cigarettes, plus a cigarette coupon."
Yesterday, because Yuan Zhi was inexperienced, he did not have any cigarettes on him, so Li Qin gave him an unopened pack.
Li Qin hadn't taken it to heart at first.
But to my surprise, Yuan Zhi still remembered.
Li Qin first took a deep look at the other person and found that Yuan Zhi's eyes were full of sincerity.
He immediately smiled.
Then he waved his hand and said:
"Consider this pack of Daqianmen cigarettes a gift from me. After all, you're learning from me, so consider it a token of my support."
After hearing this, Yuan Zhi thought about it and finally took the money and tickets back.
"Thank you, Brother Li!"
Seeing this, Li Qin smiled with satisfaction.
For Li Qin, a mere pack of Daqianmen cigarettes was nothing at all.
The cigarettes were kept on him, but in the end, they were given to other people to smoke.
As for Li Qin himself, he now basically smokes Huazi cigarettes.
Although Li Qin himself didn't have Hua Zi's cigarette coupons, Li Huaide did.
Li Huaide knew that Li Qin was very interested in Hua Zi, so he would give Li Qin some votes from time to time.
Sometimes, it was even given directly to Li Qinyan.
Li Qin never showed any courtesy to Li Huaide.
He would accept anything the other party offered.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, then we should get going."
Li Qin confirmed this with Yuan Zhi again.
Yuan Zhi quickly shook his head:
That's all.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin gestured for the other person to get in the car again.
After getting to know each other, Yuan Zhi is now much more relaxed in front of Li Qin.
Seeing Li Qin's gesture, Yuan Zhi didn't stand on ceremony and immediately sat on the back of the bicycle.
"Sit tight, we're off!"
Once Li Qin confirmed that Yuan Zhi was seated in the back seat, he immediately set off on his bicycle.
