Chapter 5 Rush to the market
After dinner, the two packed up and went out.
The family courtyard is two and a half miles away from the town, and they walked unhurriedly, but the two people who were familiar with each other just now did not break their silence for a long time, and they could not find a suitable topic, and it was also possible that Comrade Gu himself was not good at words.
"Hey, Comrade Gu, what's delicious in the town?" In the end, Chaoying, who couldn't hold back his words, opened the topic and forced his little hand into Gu Weidong's big hand.
Gu Weidong was startled at first, let go of the slippery little hand in his hand, and then spoke, "Attention to the impact of daylight." ”
I didn't think that Comrade Gu really couldn't help but tease, "You can do anything that night?" Chaoying asked jokingly.
"Ahem" was almost choked by his own saliva, Gu Weidong hurriedly turned back to the previous topic, "There are fried twist flowers in the town, baked cakes, and a fried dough tofu brain is also good." ”
"Then let's go, I love tofu brain. ”
Gu Weidong watched Chen Chaoying, who trotted in front, and turned back to look at him from time to time, the corners of his mouth raised, and he also strode to keep up with Chaoying's pace.
Soon arrived at a small shop in the town, "Sister, come with two bowls of tofu brains and two big fruits." ”
In his previous life, Chaoying was also a northerner, so it was not surprising that he ate breakfast like this, but such a small shop with only one table and two benches was still a little shabby. The proprietress at the table is frying fritters in a pot, and the back room across the wall is the tofu factory where the donkey grinds. However, the thick aroma of beans and the sizzling fireworks in the pot are not exactly the little luck that people in the previous life longed for.
There was a faint satisfaction in his eyes, and a smile on the corner of his mouth. Such a superhero made Gu Weidong feel close and warm. also strengthened the idea of treating such a superhero well and keeping her by his side forever.
Soon the tofu brain was served on the table, and the big fruit was also fished out of the oil.
I had never seen such a big fritter in my previous life, Chaoying couldn't wait to reach out to pick it up, but the fritters that had just come out of the pot were too hot, and he quickly retracted his hand. Gu Weidong saw that Chaoying was burned, so he hurriedly pulled Chaoying's hand, and when he saw a small piece of red palm, he asked the proprietress for cold water to rinse. Never let go of Chaoying's hand from beginning to end.
"Didn't you say that in broad daylight, we should pay attention to the impact? It turns out that only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps. Seeing Gu Weidong's nervousness and concern for himself, Chaoying couldn't say that he wasn't excited, but he was a little uncertain in his heart, I don't know if this concern and concern was whether it was the original Chen Chaoying or the current self. can only say it jokingly.
"Eat it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold for a while. I didn't understand the sourness in Chaoying's words, but as soon as the front foot finished speaking, he paid attention to the impact on the back foot and slapped his face, Gu Weidong himself had nothing to say, so he could only quickly change the topic.
This family's tofu brain does not have the salty and fresh marinade of later generations, but the hot sauce fried with peanuts and chili peppers also has a unique flavor, Chaoying finished eating a bowl and asked for a bowl, and the two fritters also ate one and a half, and finally I was afraid that the hot sauce would be too thirsty and let the boss scoop 10,000 soybean milk to drink. Even Gu Weidong was shocked by Chaoying's large appetite.
In the end, three bowls of tofu brain and two fritters were collected by the proprietress for 5 cents, and the soy milk was given away for free.
After eating and drinking, the two went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy 50 catties of rice, 10 catties of white flour and 5 catties of soybean oil, and spent half of the big unity.
The family home was only allocated by Gu Weidong after marriage, and Chaoying's mind was not on living after he came. So although it was summer, the yard of Camp Chief Gu's house was full of weeds, and there were no fruits and vegetables that could be eaten.
Jiangmi flour and oil were deposited in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the two came to the market again, at this time the state had allowed some people to do some small business, although there were not many people selling vegetables and meat on the street, but they could still buy it. Cut 2 pounds of meat. I saw that some farmers were selling vegetables in baskets, and they bought some cucumbers, persimmons, eggplants, chili beans, and went to the animal husbandry station to buy a basket of eggs. The remaining half of the Great Unity was also spent.
Seeing that I couldn't take it anymore, I went to pick up the stored things and went home.
Gu Weidong carried rice and white flour on one shoulder, and walked quickly in front with a basket of eggs and meat in the other hand, Chaoying walked behind with the vegetables and oil he bought, looking at the tall back in front and the heavy objects on his body, he couldn't help but imagine his life in 10 years----- Gu Weidong was holding a daughter in his left hand, a son in his right hand, and a big basket on his back, which was full of trophies from his shopping. Thinking about this kind of life is full of energy, and after he tames Gu Weidong, he must make a fortune and become well-off.
