The General Loves To Collect Little Red Flowers Chapter 12

-Because the currency is a bit confusing, I will use 'yuan' from now on-

Early in the morning, there was a “clang clang” sound that came from general's house. Le Yao once again occupied the kitchen.

He was making breakfast. Since he was sure that Xu Yao didn't have enough dinner last night, he decided to cook more today, mainly because he had something to ask. Intuition told him that he had to follow the rules, or he wouldn't have good fruit to eat.

Half past six, it was supposed to be Xu Yao's time in the military canteen, but today he didn't go there. He was leaning his body against the corner of the kitchen table, smelling the fragrance of seafood porridge and vegetable pancake while watching Le Yao cooking.

Since he was seven years old, he had never slept as dead as last night. And this morning, he got up and felt sore all over his body, as if he had been beaten. What strange was that he didn't have any visible injuries.

He thought that Le Yao should know something about it, but Le Yao didn't say anything at all to him this morning.

Le Yao served a big bowl of porridge with plenty of sh.e.l.lfish and crabmeat to Xu Yao. He also cut the round vegetable pancake, put it on his plate, and added it with some delicious carrots, peanuts and pickled vegetables.

Xu Yao sat down on the chair like a great master, “Say, you serve me so attentive, did you do anything bad last night?”

Le Yao said, “No, what can I do? I just want to ask you, if I want to buy something in Tarot star's online shop, how can I write the address here?”

“What do you want to buy?”

“It's just paper, glue and so on. I like to make some handicrafts at home.” To make a house for a best friend was supposedly to make a hand-made one. Le Yao said with great confidence, “Didn't you see the rattle that I made before?”

“Hmm. Then I suggest you check how much the freight first. Then ask my address when you are sure you can accept the price.”

“Freight?” Le Yao finished to see Xu Yao no longer paid attention to him. So he quietly ate the breakfast clean and thought about the issue of freight.

Last night, when he looked at the materials he wanted to buy, he was not sure what delivery address he wanted to write. So he didn't take these items on his shopping cart. Today, he took a close look and found that the express charges from Tarot star to Huaxia star were divided into three levels: the primary charges were 800.000 yuan with a limit of 100 kg; the intermediate charges were 1.5 million yuan, with a limit of 200 kg and the high-level charges were 2.2 million yuan, with a limit of 300 kg.

That said, it was better for you to buy more, but the cheapest one was still 800.000 yuan!

800.000!

Le Yao thought that the price was not unreasonable, but he had to put aside the shyness in his pocket. His capital account was only about 1.1 million yuan. If he bought something and paid for the freight, there would be basically nothing left. But he had to buy the offering.

If he did not buy the offering, he would have no way to bless the brush. If he did not give the blessing to the brush, the rune effect wouldn't be enough. If the rune was not effective enough, he would not be able to raise the ghost. His parents were unreliable, and he didn't know whether he could rely on the general's wife in name, so he wanted to raise some little ghosts to do things for himself.

After eating most of the food, Xu Yao turned around and saw that Le Yao was s.p.a.ced out while looking at his communicator. Xu Yao poked him in the forehead and said, “What did you think?”

Le Yao slapped his hand and said “Nothing.”

As he changed his clothes, Xu Yao said, “Ah, you worked hard to make dinner last night and I didn't fulfill my duty as a husband. Are you upset because of that?”

Le Yao almost rolled his eyes, “Don't kidding me, who will be upset because of that?”

Xu Yao smiled, “Well, tonight…”

Le Yao's heart suddenly came to his throat, “What's about tonight?”

Xu Yao said, “Make dinner tonight and wait for me to come back.”

d.a.m.n it! You scared me to death!

Le Yao said with a sigh of relief, “Yes”

When Xu Yao saw Le Yao's expression like escaping from a disaster, the more he saw it, the more interesting it became. He put on a large sun suit and went out. Before he left, he told Le Yao, “It's hot in the daytime here. Try not to run around. If you have to go out, it's better to call Uncle Ming. In addition…”

Le Yao, “What else?”

Xu Yao didn't continue his sentences. He only looked at Le Yao thoughtfully and left.

Why didn't you finish your words!?

Le Yao looked at the pants that a certain general had taken off and just dropped it on the floor casually, then stepped on it several times. This lazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

The express fee between the stars was too expensive to bear for the time being, so Le Yao went to find Uncle Ming after Xu Yao left. He carried his bag on the back, wore the communication device that Xu Yao gave him and put on a special camouflage sunscreen. After opening the door, he didn't directly close it. He shouted in the yard, “Uncle Ming!”

Uncle Ming immediately came out and said, “Mr. Xiao Le, what can I help you?”

Le Yao was facing the heat wave outside, “Can I close this door directly? Don't you need a key or something?”

Uncle Ming said, “Yes. Let the chief enter the biological data for you later. Are you going out?”

Le Yao said, “I want to go shopping. Is it convenient for you to accompany me, Uncle Ming?”

Uncle Ming said, “Yes, please wait for me a moment.” Then he went back to his house.

Le Yao looked around from the yard. It was like a large village here. There were many intelligent mobile houses beside the one that Xu Yao lived in. But at the moment, there seems to be no one. Every house was closed and quiet. It seems that no one came back yesterday.

“Uncle Ming, don't people live here at this time of day?” Le Yao casually pointed to one of the households and asked Uncle Ming who was also wearing sunscreen clothes.

“Sometimes they don't go home. Some people go out on duty and may not come back for several days. But at this time, they mostly go out for training.” Uncle Ming said, “What would you like to buy?”

“I want to buy paper and glue to make some handicrafts at home. I also want to see clothes and shoes.”

Uncle Ming also needed to look at clothes and shoes, so he took Le Yao to the biggest shopping center in Huaxia star. The store was about one kilometer away from Xu Yao's house. Looked at the store, it was supposed to be a combination of three mobile homes. The area was quite large and the things inside were quite comprehensive.

The owner of the shop was a beautiful beta sister. When she saw Uncle Ming brought a person, she called “Uncle Ming” with a smile, and then her eyes fell on Le Yao, “This is…”

Uncle Ming said, “This is the general's wife, Mr. Xiao Le. He came here with the general yesterday. He wants to buy some paper and glue to do some handicrafts.”

Of course, the owner knew who Le Yao was. Like others, she had a bad impression of Le Yao. But since it was the general choice to marry him, there must be some reasons. So whether she liked him or not, she wouldn't show it on her face. She simply smiled and said, “I don't have any paper for handicrafts here, only napkins and printing paper. And about the glue, there are glue sticks and tapes. They are all in the shelf over there.”

Le Yao went to see it after saying thanks to the beta sister. There was nothing here that caught his attention except for the tapes. However, it could also be understood that the soldiers in this place were either training or going out on duty every day. They didn't have time to do any handicraft. But napkins and printing paper were definitely not good, because it was too soft. He used to make a three-story villa for Ji Fengyu. It was very firm, s.p.a.cious, colorful and good-looking.

Seeing that Le Yao only took two rolls of wide tape, uncle Ming asked him, “Don't you need anything else?”

Le Yao nodded. At this time, he accidentally saw a cardboard box on the cash register. It was colorful and seemed to be a snack box. He took the tape and asked the shopkeeper, “Can I have this box?”

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, “This carton?”

Le Yao nodded, “Yes. It would be better if there were more. ”

The shopkeeper took a look at Uncle Ming and didn't seem to understand whether this thing should be sold or not.

Uncle Ming said, “Mr. Xiao Le, you can take the cardboard box directly. You don't need to buy this one. We just collect this kind of box and sell it directly to the recycling center when we return to Xingdu. It's not worth a lot of money.”

Le Yao asked, “In that case, who will get the money then?”

Uncle Ming said, “Of course, it's our division.”

“It's better to buy it according to the recycling price. I can't take advantage of the general's wife position.” said Le Yao.

It was mainly because he didn't want to take advantage of Xu Yao's kindness every time. In case that guy wanted to charge him multiple times later, it would be bad. Xu Yao was a wolf but more likely a fox. So, he should be careful.

“Uncle Ming, where can we get vegetables?” Le Yao didn't see this when he went to the shop just now. He wondered if there was any other food market in different place, so he went to ask Uncle Ming.

“We can get it in the cold shed.” Uncle Ming said, “Now the temperature is high, so the vegetables are all planted in the cold shed. What vegetables would you like?”

“Can I have a look?” Cold shed! This was the first time he heard of such a thing. But if the highest temperature could be close to 60 degrees as Xu Yao said, it really should be used. Otherwise, what else could they eat when the vegetables were all burnt?

The cold shed was placed between the mountain and hill. Exactly between the command center and the living area. It was also a camouflage shed. According to Uncle Ming, there were not only all kinds of vegetables, but also some fruit trees and so on.

When it came to this, Le Yao was surprised that there were many plants in the mountain at this high temperature. They may have adapted to some changes, so they were no longer like common plants in earth. Uncle Ming said that many of the woody plants here would hibernate during the summer, and grew again in the autumn until the next spring, and then entered a new dormant period in the summer again.

Because the cold shed was next to the command center, Le Yao saw several soldiers on the way. When these soldiers saw Uncle Ming, they would say h.e.l.lo to him. Le Yao found that Uncle Ming was very prestigious here.

“Here it is, right there.” Uncle Ming then pointed to the shed that seemed to be no different from a greenhouse except for its color and function.

“Can I pick it at will?” As soon as Le Yao went in, he saw that there were almost all the vegetables he had seen on the earth, one by one, red, yellow, green, purple and white; and some he had never seen before. There were also two staff here, one was watching the vegetables and took note at something, while the other one was at the door.

“Yes, but you need to pay for every vegetable that you pick here. You can have a look at the price.” A beta aunt at the door said that.

“Well, I'll pick it first and tell you later. Thank you.” Le Yao carried the basket into the vegetable ridge, while Uncle Ming stayed at the entrance, seemingly chatting with the beta aunt.

Le Yao didn't ask that much and took a look at the vegetables. He saw that the price of the vegetables here was not that expensive, just about ten to fifteen yuan per pounds. He just picked enough vegetable to eat and didn't buy too much. When he saw eggplant, he picked five eggplants and then some beans. He picked three more tomatoes when he pa.s.sed the tomato ridge. There were only two people he needed to make food for and there were already so many seafood and meat in the refrigerator. He thought it was enough vegetables.

Le Yao put the basket on the check-out counter: “Auntie, please help me count it out.”

The beta aunt smiled, “Ok, wait a moment.”

Maybe there were not many people who came here to buy vegetables on their own in weekdays, so the beta aunt didn't count that fast. Le Yao was not in a hurry either. He thought about the house he would build for Ji Fengyu. He had to find a way to burn it by the sea, so it wouldn't attract much attention.

After a while, the aunt finished counting and said, “It's 110 yuan in total.”

Le Yao put out his communication and brushed the code on it. At this time, there was heard a 'beep beep beep beep' sound.

Le Yao was confused, “What happen? I can use it in the morning.” He had more than one million yuan! So, this 110 yuan should be just a small amount. How could it be?

Didn't believe in evil, Le Yao tried it again, the result was still prompt, “Sorry, your balance is insufficient, please confirm and pay again.”

Uncle Ming said, “Is it bad signal? Otherwise, I'll pay it for you.”

Le Yao glared at his communicator and didn't say anything.

d.a.m.n it! The original body actually had a huge debt for some software he bought three months ago! Three million yuan! Now when he was due for repayment, it has deducted the only one million yuan in his account. At last, he still owed more than two million yuan with interest.

How could this Le Yao live now?!
