Luo Xuan first moved two sets of bedding into his new home.
Then I locked the door and prepared to go to the daily miscellaneous store of the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pots and pans.
Just as he was about to walk to the daily miscellaneous store of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he heard an exclamation: "Luo Xuan! Why are you here?"
Luo Xuan turned around and saw that it was Du Juan and Bu Yaoming, the captain of Xiao Laojun's production team.
There was also a young girl standing next to Bu Yaoming, but she didn't recognize her.
"Luo Xuan, why are you here?"
Du Juan was carrying a backpack, but it didn't stop her from jumping up to Luo Xuan. She reached out to hold Luo Xuan's hand and said, "We were about to go to school to find you. Unexpectedly, you are here."
Met you."
Bu Yaoming stepped forward with a smile and said, "We originally came to Hongxing Township to buy some things.
But these two little girls, choosing from left to right, never get what they want. No, if we delay, it will be the afternoon... We can’t go back!"
Luo Xuan chuckled, "If you can't go back, then don't go back. Anyway, it's not busy these days. Uncle Bu, come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Bu Yaoming said, "There's no need to eat. Well, Du Juan has brought you a lot of rice cakes! In my opinion, this little girl plans to raise you as a pig in the production team... a rice cake pig!"
It's not yet the corn harvest season.
But in the production team, they usually organize the members to bring back a little bit of corn in advance during this season every year.
The production team will distribute these unaged corn cobs to the members to grind them into thick corn syrup, so that everyone can make some "grain cakes" to satisfy their cravings.
The members of the commune couldn't afford white sugar at home, but everyone would add a little saccharin to it.
Then wrap it with corn leaves.
Next, steam it in a pot.
The "corn cake" exudes a strong fragrance of corn and is golden in color.
This kind of food made from corn would be rare in later generations, but in this period, it could really make the kid next door cry.
It's fragrant and tastes sweet...
"Here, I'll give you a taste."
Du Juan was about to take out the "grain cake" from the basket on her back, but was overtaken by the girl standing behind Bu Yaoming.
I saw her taking out a long "grain cake" wrapped in corn husks from the bamboo basket she was carrying and handing it to Luo Xuan, "Here you go. Eat it. I made it myself, and it's clean."
Woolen cloth!"
clean?
Luo Xuan took the corn cake in her hand, tore open the corn husks and put it into his mouth...
How can rural people be so particular about cleanliness?
If in another year, just with this little food made from corn, I can exchange for a girl... cough cough cough.
He saw that his hand had just touched the rice cake in the basket, but was overtaken by his best friend and rival Bu Xiaoyu.
Du Juan's smiling face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, "Xiao Yu, the rice cake I made for Luo Xuan had brown sugar in it!
Why do you use the ordinary ones from your family to replace the sugar-filled rice cakes I specially made for Luo Xuan?"
Bu Xiaoyu chuckled, "Sister Du Juan, don't be like this! Luo Xuan is a cultural person, and I heard that those city dwellers like to eat the fresh smell of corn."
Seeing that Du Juan's face still looked ugly.
Bu Xiaoyu chuckled, stepped forward and took Du Juan's arm, shaking it vigorously, "Oh, Sister Du Juan, don't be so stingy! Luo Xuan is a man, and it's not like he can only eat one.
Sister Juan, for the next rice cake, use yours with the brown sugar heart to eat it, it will definitely sweeten him!"
Du Juan pursed her lips, "Humph, can the first and second ones be the same!"
"Keke, sister Du Juan, don't be like this. How about if you don't do this, how about I treat you to dinner tonight? Let's go to a restaurant."
Bu Xiaoyu held Du Juan's arm and refused to let go, "Didn't you come back from the market last time and say that you and Luo Xuan went to the catering service club and ate a delicious dish? I will treat you to eat it again today, why?
Sample?"
Du Juan blushed, "Okay then, let's agree first, you are not allowed to argue with me in the future."
After all, Du Juan and Bu Xiaoyu have been friends since childhood.
It's impossible for them to really fall out because of the little thing that happened just now, which was similar to the pouring of the "vinegar bottle".
In addition to what Bu Xiaoyu said just now: The last time Du Juan came to Hongxing Township, she and Luo Xuan went to a restaurant for dinner...
That is to avoid going back and bragging to your best friends.
The real situation that time was that Luo Xuan took Du Juan and carried sausages to Nanhua Palace.
I borrowed the cooking utensils and stove from Huayang Taoist and cooked a meal by myself, even if I entertained Du Juan...
But from Du Juan's point of view, how dare she go back and tell her girlfriends: This time she ran to the countryside, and then Luo Xuan forced her way into a Taoist temple, occupied the kitchen, and cooked a meal?
Without any choice,
Du Juan had no choice but to brag: Luo Xuan led her to the restaurant...
"Hey, Luo Xuan, why are you not in school but running out?"
at this time,
Du Juan then remembered that she hadn't figured it out yet, so she asked again, "Aren't you afraid that the school will punish you by making you stand at attention and slap your palms?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "The teacher and I have taken leave and are going out to buy some things."
Du Juan never went to school.
In her opinion, if a student is disobedient, the teacher will stand still and slap his palms.
Luo Xuan smiled slightly, and then asked Bu Yaoming, "Uncle Bu, since you can't rush back to Xiao Laojun today, why don't you just stay at my place for the night and start your journey tomorrow morning?"
Bu Yaoming asked back, "Don't you live on campus? Can guests stay there? Forget it, the school is full of scholars, so we'd better not disturb others' rest."
Luo Xuan said, "I rented a house in the countryside with four bedrooms, which is enough for us to stay together for one night."
When Du Juan heard this, she immediately felt a little distressed: "You have a dormitory, why do you need to rent a house outside? How much does that cost?"
But Bu Xiaoyu's face was filled with happiness, "Okay, okay, we were originally planning to stay at a relative's house! Now since you have a vacant house there, let's live there."
You don’t know, my second aunt is a member of the public and a street person, so she is so arrogant!
Every time we go to her house, my second aunt's face looks like she is about to squeeze out water..."
"Xiao Yu!"
Bu Yaoming glared at her daughter, "Elders are elders. No matter what, you can't say that to your second aunt, do you hear me?"
Bu Xiaoyu stuck out his tongue and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Seeing that Luo Xuan had already rented a house, Du Juan had nothing to say. She just stretched out her hand and pushed Luo Xuan to the store, "Let's go. You have rented a house. There must be no pots, pans, or mattresses in it?"
Come on, I'll take you to buy some, and we can open the fire and cook something tonight."
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "There's no need to worry about this. Sister Du Juan, you and Uncle Bu are finally going out. Let's eat out tonight to avoid trouble."
"No trouble."
Du Juan glared at Luo Xuan, "You are a poor student, how much money will you have to spend on your studies in the future? Let's go, all these things I bought today are mine, and I will use them as a house warmer for you."
Luo Xuan asked her, "Sister Du Juan, do you have so many cloth tickets on you?"
this……
Du Juan is the only daughter in the family, and she has never been short of money, but she really can't afford much such as cloth stamps and food stamps.
Mountain people,
For many years and dynasties, most of them farmed and planted their own crops, spun and clothed themselves, and tried to be self-sufficient throughout the year.
For families like Bu Yaoming and Du Juan, there is not much shortage of food, game, and bacon.
But they really can't get any food stamps or cloth stamps... and they don't have much demand in this regard.
Seeing that Du Juan was stumped, Luo Xuan broke away from her hand and said with a smile, "The newly bought iron pot cannot be cooked even if it is not boiled.
The rice cooked like that will have a strong rusty smell, so how can you eat it? Come on, I'll treat you to a meal... Don't worry, I'll eat at the restaurant for free!"
Luo Xuan was worried that Du Juan would hurt him and that he would spend too much money, so he bit the bullet and blew a calf's skin.
"You're bragging."
As expected, Du Juan showed no mercy to Luo Xuan, "For cadres in the office in their hometown, when they go to the countryside to distribute meals, they have to give food stamps to make up for the difference in meal prices."
Luo Xuan ignored her and said to Bu Yaoming, "It's getting late, Uncle Bu. Let's go and eat first. When we get home, I have something to discuss with you."
Bu Yaoming smiled and said, "Let's go then. It just so happens that I have something I want to discuss with you."
then,
The four of them walked towards the catering service together.
As soon as he entered the catering service club, Luo Xuan lay down on the counter at the door and winked at Fatty Gu: "Boss, can I have a meal with you tonight?"
Fatty Gu heard this.
He raised his head and glanced at Luo Xuan, then glanced at Bu Yaoming, Du Juan and Bu Xiaoyu who were standing behind Luo Xuan.
Then he said, "Okay, you can come and have two meals with me. Tell me, what are you going to eat today?"
Luo Xuan said, "Just look at the arrangement. The dish Du Juan and I ordered last time was quite delicious. Please give us another one."
Said,
Luo Xuan turned around and greeted everyone, "Let's go find a table and sit down. They will bring the dishes over."
Watching Luo Xuan busy greeting them, Fatty Gu curled his lips: This kid, wants to imitate the grandsons of the detective teams in the old society and pretend to be an uncle?
Showing off that you go to a restaurant to eat for free?
Fatty Gu was secretly amused.
It's just that there are many people carrying the sedan chair, and it doesn't matter if they cooperate with Luo Xuan to install the hole of the cow.
Eh...how the hell do I know what you ordered last time?
But it’s hard to ignore the fat man in this kind of thing.
I saw him using his chubby hands to scribble the names of four dishes and one soup on the paper, and then ordered the waiter to send it to the kitchen to start cooking.
As for the food stamps Luo Xuan needed to treat guests to dinner, Fatty Gu naturally had to find a way to solve it.
Anyway, in the end, the catering service company just deducted this money from Luo Xuan's payment.
