On the vast land, there are only gray-yellow loess high slopes and white snow dotted on these loess plateaus.
It is full of devastation and mottled spots, which makes people feel desolate when looking at it.
between heaven and earth,
There are only yellow and white, and these two colors remain unchanged for several months.
It seems like eternity.
Looking around, I can't see even a trace of green.
The ground is full of ravines, like cracked yellow buns. But it cannot drive away the hunger that has lingered in this land for thousands of years.
The evening breeze in the northern part of the Great Wall is rough, bold and unscrupulous.
The biting cold wind pierces the face, making the cheeks hurt!
But Old Li Tou, who was sitting in front of the donkey cart, was in a very happy mood at this time: in the wicker basket pressed by his right hand, there were 19 large white steamed buns.
And it’s all white!
The kind that doesn't have a little bit of impurities mixed into it.
nice one!
Even during the Chinese New Year, Lao Li's family couldn't eat such good white flour steamed buns.
Today, Lao Li followed the donkey cart and sat the three educated youths.
Not only did I get 19 white flour steamed buns.
Moreover, this was the first time in Lao Li’s life that he went to a restaurant to eat!
State-owned Yinzhou Hotel!
The best state-owned hotel in Zhimi County, which is enough for me to go back and brag about in the production team for a few months.
The three educated youths I recruited today are really lavish with their money!
Originally, the educated youth named Luo Xuan wanted to treat Lao Li to a meal as a token of his gratitude.
At that time, Lao Li Tou was still thinking: If he could go to the "State-owned Station Hotel" and have a bowl of whistle noodles made with tofu, dried beans, and clear vermicelli.
That would be so beautiful!
When Lao Litou followed Luo Xuan and the others, they walked out of the station together.
The state-owned hotel at the station is obviously not far outside the station compound.
But Luo Xuan, Zhang Xiaoli and the others were not even interested in turning around and taking a look!
At that time, Old Li Tou was thinking: Alas! It seems that they are all poor children who are away from home and have a hard time.
perhaps
Do they want to find a small stall?
For example, Chengguan Subdistrict Office, state-owned hotels?
Or is it a haggis shop run by the Yinzhou Professional Vegetable Production Team, which is a collective operation?
Well, that's pretty good too.
I am lucky enough to follow these educated youths and have a bowl of "haggis", which is almost all vermicelli. It's not bad!
——It would be even better if we could add two more Youxuan'er.
Old Li Tou had already made up his mind at that time:
If these educated youths could be more generous and treat themselves to two youxuans.
Lao Li refused to eat it and pretended to take a few bites. Then he stuffed it into his pocket and secretly took it back to his mother-in-law and children.
They haven't tasted Youxuan for two years, right?
It's a pity that the soupy haggis cannot be packed and taken back.
As a result, Old Li Tou never expected that these three educated youths from Bashu would actually walk directly into the best "Yinzhou Hotel" in Zhimicheng!
The frightened Lao Li was behind Zhang Xiaoli.
Every time he took a step, Lao Li's legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.
This hotel is too luxurious, isn't it?
There are actually smooth bricks on the floor! I don’t know how these bricks are made?
Why is it so flat and smooth?
They all showed silhouettes of people in the snapshots. The effect was better than the large lenses I found at home.
It doesn't seem to be much different.
"Uncle Li."
Zhang Xiaoli was kind-hearted and turned around to support Lao Li, who was no longer able to walk. "Be careful. There is water on your shoes. It's easy to fall when you walk on the tiles."
"Hey, hey! Girl, you take care of yourself, I'll walk slowly."
Looking at Zhang Xiaoli who looked like a fairy, she reached out to help her.
The panicked Lao Li quickly said politely, "Well, go alone. Hey, I'm dirty, don't ruin your beautiful clothes, woman."
Zhang Xiaoli smiled slightly and helped Lao Li into the store.
To be honest, in this Zhimicheng.
As the most luxurious hotel waiters, their eyes are definitely on their foreheads!
Seeing Luo Xuan carrying two large packages, Peng Yong followed closely behind carrying a piece of luggage.
Walking at the back was the old man with a dark face.
When the waiters saw him, they knew he was a real sufferer.
But what makes people feel a little bit surprised is the girl who is supporting the suffering old man.
Regardless of his appearance or temperament, he is indeed good!
At first glance, he looks like a city dweller.
This combination really made the waiters feel strange.
But the only thing they can be sure of is that none of these four people will be public officials.
That being the case
No one from the waiters came forward to open the door for them, and no one was willing to say hello.
Luo Xuan sat down,
He coldly ordered the waiter who was gathering around eating melon seeds, "Bring over the menu."
"Snapped--"
A thin page of printing paper actually made a lot of noise in the hands of the waiter!
".Instruct us that we must"
Luo Xuan glanced at the menu on the table, but didn't order.
Instead, there was a "pop" sound, very fast!
He stood up straight in an instant and began to recite the famous line loudly, "We must do it."
Now!
The bunch of waiters who were originally lazily and staggering around suddenly quickly threw the melon seeds in their hands back to the plate.
Everyone stands upright!
They all started to recite in unison, "We must put the interests of the masses first. In the past, those shopkeepers and compradors would beat and scold them at every turn."
Bah bah bah
This paragraph is very long!
But fortunately, these waiters are responsible for serving dishes and clearing tables.
The drying is not very smooth.
When it comes to reciting these, each one is more proficient than the other!
After waiting for about 10 waiters, who almost shook the ceiling with a layer of dust, they recited it for about 10 minutes.
One by one, they relaxed their shoulders and took a few deep breaths to calm themselves down.
You need to be very energetic, loud, and recite such a long quote without interruption.
That was really tiring!
I almost couldn't breathe.
"Comrade waiters, please come and provide services to customers. Come on, let's start ordering."
Luo Xuan sat down again and asked, "One piece of meat chicken, 7 cents and 3 cents?"
The waiter holding a pen and preparing to write the menu.
He breathlessly replied, "The prices are written on the menu!"
Luo Xuan snorted coldly, "I'm asking you! If customers have questions about the dishes served in your unit, you should answer them truthfully. This is your responsibility."
"Well, a portion of meatball chicken is 1 yuan, 7 cents and 3 cents."
The waiter was helpless. She was afraid that the guy in front of her who didn't play according to the routine would make another "pop" sound!
Stand up and start again
Who can bear it?!
"How many inches?"
Luo Xuan stared at her and asked, "What are the ingredients in it?"
The waiter could only answer obediently: "A seven-inch plate. It contains ribs, chicken, and potatoes."
"Oh, let's have an old bowl of fish."
Luo Xuan began to order, "One and a half portions of the stew; one portion of pork stewed with sour beans; and one pot of squid pimple soup.
In addition, one and a half kilograms of rice, 10, 20 white flour steamed buns."
From this moment on, the waiter
I have begun to understand the power of this visitor: the handsome young man in front of me is definitely not an unsophisticated outsider.
I'm afraid I'm a frequent visitor to a place like our "State-owned Yinzhou Hotel".
Because anyone who knows the art knows that if you only order one portion of a stew, you won’t be able to make it.
This dish starts with one and a half portions before the chef takes the order.
Not only does this young man know his stuff, but he is also very precise in his ordering. This meal costs at least 12 yuan!
This is equivalent to,
These waiters, who have only a few years of service, receive half a month's salary.
The waiter, who was worried that the other party was up to something again, bent down and reminded Luo Xuan, "Comrade, you ordered 1 and a half kilograms of rice, and you also want 20 white flour steamed buns? Can you finish it?"
Luo Xuan waved his hand and said, "You can take it away if you can't finish it. Do you have a small wicker frame like that for putting things in your store?"
The waiter nodded, "Yes. Sometimes, when guests come to the restaurant to order food, they will ask to take it back to eat.
So in our store, we have those small wicker baskets. They cost 4 cents and 2 cents each."
Luo Xuan nodded, "That's good. Peng Yong, you go to the counter and pay the money and food stamps. Then you eat slowly while I go out to buy something."
After settling Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong, let them entertain Lao Li.
Luo Xuan then turned around and left the hotel and went to Zhimicheng Street to buy some gifts for the old Mr. Li who had suffered so much.
Yinzhou is a thousand-year-old city and the hometown of Li Zicheng.
But from the streets of the county town, you can see Li Zicheng's palace on the top of the mountain.
During this period, Zhimicheng was not very big.
The sky is gray and the streets are muddy due to melting snow.
Look around,
Among the countless blue-gray cave dwellings, there are some two-story buildings.
But most of them are low-rise buildings with only one floor.
Because the entire city has just experienced sandstorms and blizzards.
Therefore, the streets of Zhimicheng at this time were dim in color and the wind was biting.
Overall, it seems a bit depressing.
Mizhi's mother-in-law, Suide's Han.
In this hometown of Diao Chan, which is famous for its beautiful women, Luo Xuan actually didn't see those so-called beauties on the street.
Maybe it’s because the weather is too cold and the beauties didn’t go out to hang out on the streets!
The time now is already around 5pm.
It snows early, it gets dark early, and winter nights are long.
At this time, the street lights in the city have not yet turned on. If there are electric lights on both sides of the street in Heisuo, it must be a state-owned store.
Luo Xuan found the sales department of a supply and marketing cooperative and bought some things casually: 2 pieces of soap, 2 pieces of soap.
Half a catty of prawn cakes and half a catty of brown sugar.
Camellia oleifera is not expensive, it costs 3 jins; fried rice can be stored, so Luo Xuan also bought 3 jins.
For these things, Luo Xuan estimates that Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong may not be able to get used to eating this kind of food in a short period of time.
no way.
A person's eating habits are developed since childhood. It is difficult to change them in a short period of time
So all the things I bought today are actually for Lao Li Tou.
There are two ways to give gifts:
The first way is to adjust the portions when giving gifts for the first time!
Trying to smash the opponent into confusion and make him overjoyed!
Thus,
The other person's good impression of you will be like an angry sea, extremely turbulent.
The second way to give a gift is to keep it flowing.
I give a little bit every now and then, but the quantity each time is not large, and the value of the gift is not high.
The advantage of doing this is that Old Li Tou's good impression of him will eventually converge into a river like a stream of water, stretching endlessly.
You have to make good friends with Lao Li!
After all, it will take a long, long time for me, Zhang Xiaoli and others to jump in line here.
The old Li who came to pick me up today may be a little cunning and have his own little thoughts.
But in general
Lao Li Tou is also a very responsible person who can do his job conscientiously.
Zhuangzi in Saibei is a completely different place from Bashu.
In the production team here, just a few big names can form a complete Zhuangzi.
That is to say:
In a production team in Saibei, most of the members only have a few surnames.
The people who really have the right to speak can only come from these big families.
The surname Li is a popular surname!
As long as you have a good relationship with Lao Li Tou, you can find the best entry point in the production team.
This will allow you, Zhang Xiaoli, and Peng Yong to quickly integrate into them.
Rural life is all about human society.
It is a relatively closed small society.
If you can't blend in with them, everything you do in the future will be in the way.
It's hard to get people to use their fists.
After shopping, Luo Huan turned around and returned to the hotel.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong were already full.
Old Li Tou, who had a very big appetite, must have not eaten enough, but he just wanted to take the remaining food home.
So Lao Li Tou was trying his best to restrain his own lust for words.
The group of people sat on a donkey cart and finally returned to Lao Li's house before dark.
The villages in Saibei are indeed very different from those in Bashu.
In the Bashu region,
Members of a production team do not live together. Instead, they are scattered around according to the mountain topography.
But in the Dou family Gelao production team,
All cave dwellings of commune members are arranged neatly and orderly on both sides of the road along a large passage.
By the time Lao Li's donkey cart had just arrived at the entrance of the village where the production team was located.
The production team leader of Doujia Gelao Village had already received the news of the arrival of educated youth.
When Luo Xuan, Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong returned to Lao Li's house, they had just put down their luggage.
"Hey, welcome, welcome! You educated youths are welcome to join the team of our Dou family. You are welcome to help our production team and carry out agricultural production and construction!"
This production captain is a burly man in his 40s.
He is very tall and quite thin.
As soon as he entered the cave, he enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Come on, Lao Litou, today I will take these educated youths home and give them a treat. Tomorrow you can discuss how to cook for them."
Lao Li replied, "Okay! Captain, don't worry. I will ask my aunt at home to make them a meal of rice noodle soup and flat food tomorrow. It will serve as a welcome refreshment for the educated youth guests."
With that said, Old Li Tou quickly slipped back into his cave dwelling and never came out again.
He was busy taking the white-flour buns back to the cave where he lived.
One is to show off to his own aunt.
Secondly, Lao Li was afraid of others seeing these things.
After all, if Lao Li secretly accepted gifts from educated youths, the impact would not be very good.
Lao Li, who felt a little guilty, now wished that the production captain could take Luo Xuan and the others away quickly!
Anyway, entertaining the educated youths and drinking at night are all about it.
Lao Li can't do it!
It has been several years since his house smelled the aroma of alcohol.
