Chapter 200 Famine
As for Lan Ze, he left first after the meeting.
He is so poor that he cannot afford to eat in the school cafeteria.
After the school leaving process started automatically, he was completely kicked out into the society.
He couldn't buy the student discount ticket for the SRT.
But even if he could buy student tickets, he didn't have the money.
So, with a heart in his heart, he gritted his teeth and used Zhang He's secondary account to buy a full-price subway ticket. He rushed back to his home in a panic.
After returning home, Lan Ze did not pack his luggage. He sat in the bright and empty kitchen. Under the crisis of being hungry today and what to eat tomorrow, he carefully calculated the balance of food stamps and the number of days remaining in this month.
After a while, I came to an obvious conclusion: using food stamps to buy fresh ingredients to cook and eat yourself is much more economical than going out to a restaurant.
Moreover, food stamps are very restrictive when it comes to buying food. In addition to buying ingredients directly and replacing currency when eating in the university cafeteria, only affordable restaurants are supported.
The kind of small restaurant that serves porridge, rice, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables...except for soup dumplings, there is basically nothing else Lan Ze wants to eat.
It's not as delicious as cooking it yourself.
Lanze checked the nearby map with his bracelet, and then went directly from the elevator to the underground passage.
There is a small community convenience store not too deep below. There is also a community farm of a vegetable company deep underground.
Lan Ze bought a strip of pork belly, a large handful of vegetables, soy sauce, vinegar, and a few other pleasing seasonings at a small convenience store.
There seems to be a pot in the kitchen set at home. It should be there, right?
But he definitely didn't have any cutlery.
In addition to the "tableware set" of chopsticks, spoons and folding bowls for one person, the small convenience store also did not have any serious tableware such as dishes. He had to buy a single person tableware set. This thing could not be paid for with food stamps or daily necessities coupons.
, the unemployment benefits issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs were not user-friendly enough. Lan Ze could only use Sister Hehua’s secondary account to buy this set of tableware.
After paying the bill and coming out, Lan Ze then thought about it, maybe this inconvenience was deliberately designed? Who would take the initiative to find a job when it was so comfortable to be on relief?
When he got home, Lan Ze discovered that there was indeed a pot at home, but no kitchen knife.
He found a small pot and cooked the meat whole, and then took another small pot to boil water and planned to blanch the vegetables.
Suddenly, he remembered: There is actually one kitchen knife at home.
That antique kitchen knife.
The last time he came back to take over the house, he brought the knife back. It seemed that he stuffed it in a drawer in the kitchen.
He looked through the drawer and found an antique kitchen knife. The meat was cooking in the pot. He first scalded the vegetables in a pot of boiling water, poured out the water, poured soy sauce directly into the pot, and mixed the meat with the chopsticks he just bought.
After cooking for about ten minutes, he took it out. Since there was no cutting board, he cut half of the meat directly on the countertop and cut it into thick slices. He also threw the meat slices into the vegetable pot, added some soy sauce, and stirred again.
stir.
Because there is fat in pork belly, the calories of this dinner should be enough.
It tastes surprisingly delicious.
After eating, Lan Ze left a message to Zhang He to report on his recent situation.
When he went home last time, he still had a lot of money in his hand. Fortunately, he bought a lot of things at that time. Otherwise...even sheets and quilts are not supported by unemployment benefits from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Just sleep in your clothes.
.
Unemployment benefits include food stamps, daily necessities stamps, quarterly clothing coupons, and housing subsidies (including rent, house repair costs, and various pipe network services such as water and electricity). Of course, other things beyond these categories cannot be paid.
of.
Although there is no time limit for unemployment benefits, anyone who has some requirements for the quality of life cannot bear to live on this all year round.
Now, there is only a small bed in his studio in the whole house.
There are mattresses and bedding on it, as well as matching bedding. After all, he slept there last time he came back.
There are no big beds at home.
He doesn't know how long it will take before he can afford a big bed on his own.
The next day Lanze went out for a walk to familiarize himself with the terrain, and received a message from Sister Hehua on the way.
Sister Hehua listened to the tragic experience he described the night before, and left him laughing.
His sister asked him: "You can't even calculate these accounts and make yourself penniless. How dare you say that you study mathematics?"
Lanze felt guilty and humbly agreed.
Therefore, after leaving campus and traveling around the world, he was never embarrassed to mention the name of his master, Master Feng Chuan. He also never said that he had a degree in mathematics.
He only said that he had a doctorate in parallel biology, so as not to implicate Feng's family when he was embarrassed. As for Professor Luo, he was more ambitious; and Lan Ze's theoretical level was indeed not lower than the average level of his fellow seniors. He
He just lacks practical experience and works in marine biology. What is a PhD if he is not a parallel importer?
"Use my secondary account, kid. I just took a look and the default limit is a bit small. I'll increase it for you. You don't need my consent for this, you can spend it as you like." Sister Hehua suggested.
Lan Ze originally planned to use her money to buy some things. Now there is not even a plate at home.
When he came back last time, he was in a bad mood. When he was hungry, he only went out to eat.
Now it seems that it should be beaten.
My sister's deputy account has money, and Lanze doesn't dare to spend it arbitrarily. Because I bought a house, I have a huge debt, which I am waiting for my sister to slowly repay to the ht consortium.
He is very restrained in spending money and doesn't buy anything he doesn't need for the time being.
It makes no sense for him to buy things that two people can use together, such as a big bed. Of course, it would be better to wait for his sister to come back and make a decision together.
This is what Lanze told Sister Hehuaer at that time.
Then he wandered to the community activity center, saw the somatosensory cabin and couldn't hold himself back any longer, so he played a somatosensory game for a while.
He doesn't even dare to choose high-end equipment with expensive rent. Ordinary commercial products are the best to use.
After playing for a while, I felt relaxed and the stress was gone. I just felt a little more guilty about spending money indiscriminately.

Lanze knew that being at home alone required tenacious self-control. But he had no choice now.
Being alone at home, living an empty and lonely life, will make people feel depressed, lose their normal rhythm of activities, and eventually the whole person will fall into decadence and collapse completely.
What he was proud of was his self-control, but he would never dare to use his own will as a test subject.
These days, even if he wants to work hard and live hard, he can't do anything at home.
The small company has no business yet, and he has no money.
Several special benefits for unemployment benefits: food stamps can only guarantee that he will not starve to death; housing subsidies can ensure that pipe network services such as water and electricity will not be in arrears, and service interruptions are benefits that only the deceased can enjoy; by the way, he can use daily necessities coupons to buy some towels
, soap, razor and the like to clean yourself up; then use the quarterly clothing coupons to buy two decent seasonal clothes to dress up. Then, you can go find a job.
