The five-cent tomatoes in Guangchang Shopping Center, in the current situation of soaring prices, are not only the price of conscience, but also the loss price of the clearance sale. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to the aunts and uncles who love all kinds of promotional goods, there are also some people who are also apprehensive and walk into the Guangchang Shopping Center.

Living in an era of material affluence, there are also a group of people who are accompanied by poverty, and their life predicament is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Yue Xiaxia, a fourth-grade student at Qinghe No. 29 Central Primary School, lives with her grandmother in a chaotic urban village on the outskirts of Qinghe City. The two small bungalows were the only shelter they could have. If it weren't for the free tuition and textbooks, she wouldn't have been able to go to school.

As soon as she was born, her mother ran away from home and was long gone. In the early years, my father was working to make money, and he was still worry-free. But when disaster came, it was caught off guard.

She died of a work-related injury, but she did not receive compensation, leaving her and the elderly to live on the government's monthly widow allowance of 500 yuan.

Among them, 200 yuan needs to be purchased for the medical expenses of the elderly every month. The remaining 300 yuan will be used to maintain the living expenses of their grandparents and grandchildren for a month in Qinghe City, where the per capita annual income exceeds 27,000 yuan, and in Qinghe City, where the housing price is at least 20,000 yuan per square meter.

Yue Xiaxia and her grandmother's annual rations are 300 catties of rice purchased from old farmers in the suburbs at one time. Every week, Yue Xiaxia would carry five catties of millet to an old rice mill to glue the skin of this kind of rice for one dollar and one catty, and then carry a bag of brown rice and rice bran home.

That's what she and her grandmother have to eat for a week.

As for fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, they are luxuries in Yue Xiaxia's life. The grandmother, who relied on picking up garbage to buy school supplies for Yue Xiaxia, would only eat a boiled egg during the New Year's holidays, and would give the yolk to Yue Xiaxia.

As for the meat she has eaten the most at home, it is three yuan a pound of pork skin, which is boiled and rotten, with a little salt, and directly served with rice.

And Yue Xiaxia's memory of eating fresh fruits was seven or eight years ago. At that time, the price was not expensive, and my grandmother picked up a ball of discarded wires and sold them for more than ten yuan, and the old man smiled and bought her a piece of watermelon for one yuan.

Eating the watermelon with red scoop and sand, Yue Xiaxia was sweet to the heart. She deliberately left most of the red scoop for her grandmother.

Later, they couldn't afford to buy vegetables from the fresh vegetable stalls.

One pound for one piece, one pound for two pieces, one pound for three pieces......

The fourth grade of primary school is a critical period of physical development, and just relying on a few taels of rice every day, Yue Xiaxia feels that her stomach is like playing a drum every day, and she always wants to eat something.

Later, Yue Xiaxia heard the neighbor's aunt talking about the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket at night for only eight cents per catty.

She finally cautiously walked into the nearest supermarket.

Blackened mangoes, rotten tomatoes, chopped greens, and half a rotten cucumber......

In the supermarket, she tasted many foods that she had never eaten before.

One day, at eight o'clock in the evening, she also took two yuan to Guangchang Shopping Center to buy special fruits and vegetables, and suddenly, she found that in the sales area of fresh vegetables, there was suddenly a large shelf. The tomatoes on that shelf were so fresh that they could pinch out of the water.

The point is that these fresh fruits with young leaves on the stalk are red and clear, and they only cost five cents a catty!

Five cents!

She really read that right!

Fresh fruit for five cents!

Cheaper than fruit bargains!

The two dollars in her hand can buy four catties!

Wow!

Yue Xiaxia happily couldn't wait to tear a transparent plastic bag, for fear of being snatched up, so she stuffed eight tomatoes into the bag in one go.

It must be a promotion!

Yue Xiaxia regretted that she didn't bring a little more money, such a good tomato, she really wanted to buy a few more catties.

She wished there were such cheap tomatoes to sell every day.

When she sat beside her grandmother and nibbled on fresh tomatoes with her, Yue Xiaxia looked forward to it silently.

Yue Xiaxia went to Guangchang Shopping Center the next day and was pleasantly surprised to find that her wish had come true.

Tomatoes are still five cents a pound.

On the third day, it was still five cents a pound.

Yue Xiaxia and her grandmother ate tomatoes for more than a month. The more she ate, the happier she became, she didn't get tired of eating at all, and the more she ate, the happier she became.

Fresh tomatoes, like a ray of sunshine in her life, are sweet, juicy, and nutritious.

She also deliberately took her library card and ran to the school library to borrow a book called "Diet and Materia Medica", which told her that tomatoes are very nutritious.

Not only rich in carotene, vitamin C and B vitamins, as long as one or two hundred grams of fresh tomatoes are used every day, it can meet the body's needs for vitamins and minerals, and can also promote bone growth and improve the body's ability to resist cancer, especially grandma's hypertension and coronary heart disease, which have a good effect.

Yue Xiaxia is satisfied, she and her grandmother can eat two catties of tomatoes every day, and it only costs one dollar. It's a good deal.

For her, the most delicious food that ordinary people eat is tired.

When more than ten years later, Yue Xiaxia, who relied on her grandmother to pick up garbage, grants and her own work-study, was admitted to Normal University, and then became a primary school teacher, took her eighty-year-old grandmother to live in a bright low-rent house, she still likes to go to the old counter of Guangchang Shopping Center to buy tomatoes for four or five catties and five cents.

Mrs. Yue also likes the tomatoes cooked by her granddaughter, and in that sweet and sour fruit, there is a happy life in their most difficult moments.

Lin Zeng studied the technique of slicing meat for several hours, using his sharpest tool, Xingchen scissors, to use up all the beef tenderloin ordered in the morning, and finally cut out ten thin slices of qualified beef tenderloin that could transmit light.

What does it feel like to paint on a slice of meat?

Remove a piece of good beef tenderloin and place it on a white porcelain plate. Flat, thin meat that fits perfectly to the bottom of the plate.

Lin Zeng's drawing pen seems to be stained with the fishy smell of beef, and the soft texture makes it very unaccustomed to each stroke. Fortunately, Lin Zeng's pen skills are no longer novices, and countless times of painting practice have allowed him to use this special drawing pen, such as the arm to make the fingers, smooth and smooth.

To synthesize the spirit of learning, you need to use the mind pattern.

The greatest difficulty in drawing the synthetic runes of the learning spirit lies in fusing the mind into these thin pieces of meat like cicada wings, and then through a special refining technique, a unique learning spirit is formed.

When Lin Zeng was drawing this mental pattern, he kept recalling how he planted the wisdom core of the plant space on the green tree.

This process is not complicated, so when Lin Zeng painted the pattern, the sense of stagnation was not strong.

In half an hour, the heart pattern was finally completed.

The planting pictures that have passed through his mind countless times, as well as Lin Zeng's experience and experience when planting, have all been recorded by this mental pattern.

What makes people feel amazing is that when this mental pattern is drawn, the delicate runes on the meat slices instantly burn, and the thin slices of beef tenderloin with raw blood quickly curl up, and in about three seconds, a small pale red flower, showing a semi-open state, rests in a white porcelain plate.

All right.

Lin Zeng had to admit that the funny synthesis method of painting patterns on the meat slices suddenly became elegant under this elegant little flower. It's as if it's become an amazing art of food.

Pinching the half-open red flower, Lin Zeng turned his gaze to Miss Lanny, who was still rolling in the pile of magazines. She seemed to be working hard to study a model's hairstyle, and she was so fascinated by it that she completely forgot about Lin Zeng, a breeder.

"Lanny, Miss E!" Lin Zeng was really not used to this kind of title, and shouted awkwardly, finding that this Miss Mantis had not heard it at all, and her attention was still focused on the fashion magazine.

"Miss Lanny!" Lin Zeng couldn't help but raise his voice, and finally called back the female mantis who was obsessed with fashion magazines.

"Ahh

"Wow, Mr. Lin Zeng, this is the spirit of learning! Great, can I eat it? Can I eat it?"

Why is it that in less than a day's effort, the ladylike temperament of this mantis lady seems to be running away in the direction of teasing.
