Chapter 66 Oh no, the middle-aged man who was scolded by her is Han Jin's brother-in-law!
In front of the hotel is a hall of more than 100 square meters, with several large windows facing the street, and the faΓ§ade should be very magnificent when viewed from the outside. Seeing those red pine tables and chairs brushed with varnish to reveal clear wood grains, Zhou Lanxiang immediately knew where this was.
After she entered the city, she worked as a nanny at Teacher Sun's house, and Teacher Sun's favorite food was the spicy rabbit dice, stir-fried chicken offal, Sixi meatballs and smoked chicken from Dongguan Restaurant, and she would go here several times a month.
Dongguan Hotel is a time-honored brand in Ishihara County for decades, and is now called the No. 7 National Hotel in Ishihara County, but the old Ishihara people have always called it Dongguan Hotel.
Remembering that Han Jin said just now that he would only pad it here, Zhou Lanxiang wanted to laugh, this is one of the top hotels in the county, and he will see where he will take them to eat delicious food later!
Han Jin pointed to the rice bowl and carefully explained to Xiangxiang how to buy a meal ticket, where to wait for the number to get the meal, and also came to a temporary test to see if she could recognize the menu card on the whole meal.
It has not changed until Zhou Lan wants to follow Xiaoshan to the provincial capital, the menu has not changed for decades, and the red words are engraved on the small hardwood boards, and it is estimated that the chef has not changed, according to many old people, it has always been that taste.
However, it may be that the supply is tight now, and there are less than a dozen menu cards on the rice table, and the raw materials are only pork and the most common vegetables in the Northeast winter. When Han Jin took Xiaoshan to buy a meal ticket, Erchang happily hung up a few more menus, and this time there were dishes such as braised fish, fried fish fillet, and fish ball soup.
Han Jin discussed with Xiangxiang, and when he came out to eat, he had to eat something that he couldn't make at home, so he asked Xiaoshan to buy three bowls of tofu brain, sugar cakes, pork buns, and a four-happiness ball.
"Liu Datou can't cook, so Sixi meatballs and smoked chicken can still be eaten, there is no smoked chicken today, you taste the meatballs, it will definitely not be as delicious as you." Han Jin didn't care that the waiter was pouring hot water with them with an iron thermos, chatting with Xiangxiang as if no one was around, and the waiter with big pigtails was so angry that he threw the big bowl on the table with a clatter!
Love to eat or not! My aunt and grandmother are no longer serving!
The girl with big braids rolled her eyes and flicked her braids away, Han Jin was about to be murdered with his eyes glared, Zhou Lanxiang tried to hold back a smile while hurriedly holding him down.
It's good that he wasn't kicked out, he's not here to smash the field!
Han Jin looked at Xiangxiang's hand on his hand like a leaky ball, and suddenly sat down on the table honestly.
Zhou Lanxiang picked up the thermos and poured water, and when he was about to finish pouring it, he suddenly reacted, and hurriedly jumped up to grab the thermos: "You sit, I'll come!" The amplitude of standing up was too great, and the chair dragged on the concrete floor with a stinging sound, and the girl with big pigtails gave two big eyes!
Before he could finish rolling his eyes, he broke a large bowl with a white background and blue edge for drinking water.
The girl with big pigtails can find a reason, inhales and crosses her waist, and when she holds back enough strength, she is about to teach Han Jin a lesson, Han Jin slapped a dollar on the table: "If it is broken, I will compensate you, and bring another one!" Brush it clean! The water is not hot, the bowl is not clean, and this is how you serve the people? β
If Liu Datou hadn't come over in time, the pigtailed girl would probably have driven them out!
Xiaoshan came over with food to comfort Han Jin: "Brother Jin, the old ladies are unreasonable, don't be like them!" β
Zhou Lanxiang gently knocked on Xiaoshan's head: "You can stop!" If we talk nonsense, we'll have to eat on the street! β
Han Jin was a little absent-minded, frowned and drank a mouthful of tofu brain, the meat bun bit into his mouth and chewed twice, and suddenly he couldn't eat it anymore, looking up at the hill, he found that he was also holding a meat bun with a sad face.
"Sister, this bun is too unpalatable! Can't compare to what you do! β
Han Jin simply threw the bun he had bitten into the plate, and went to taste Liu Datou's most famous Sixi Ball. The meat is a little fishy, chewing to the mouth of firewood, the fat in the meatballs can't be tasted, I just feel a greasy taste!
Do you still open a hotel for this craft? Why didn't I find out that Liu Datou was so bad at cooking before!
Han Jin refused to eat the chopsticks as soon as he threw them, Xiaoshan actually put down the chopsticks as well, and sighed in disappointment: "I'm blind with so much meat, how good it would be if I let my sister make it!" Sister, the potatoes and cabbage you make are better than these meat dishes! β
Zhou Lanxiang also ate the first bite, of course, these things can't be compared with the vegetables and Zhenwei water in the space, and the reaction is not so big with psychological preparation, but I didn't expect these two guys to throw chopsticks directly and stop eating!
The thief captured the king first, and she stuffed the chopsticks into Han Jin's hand: "You two are used to eating at home and are a little unaccustomed to it, hurry up and eat, we can't drink tofu brain at home once a year, and we can't see so much meat during the New Year!" I'm okay eating, you two try it again. β
Han Jin didn't throw the chopsticks this time, lowered his head and frowned and drank a sip of tofu brain, and muttered reluctantly with his eyelids down: "It's too hard to drink, it's better to eat big cakes with pickles at home." β
Zhou Lanxiang also stuffed a pair of chopsticks into Xiaoshan's hand, and a bun in each person's hand, and gave them vegetables: "You two are obedient, we have to stay in the city for a day, it's okay not to eat enough, eat quickly, these cost more than a dollar and a half a catty of food stamps, just now I saw if Uncle Liu also handed you two taels of meat tickets?" β
The two children reluctantly ate steamed buns, and Zhou Lanxiang gave them a bite of chopsticks and balls, and letting them eat meat seemed to be wronged for them!
Xiaoshan also whispered while eating: "Sister, I want to eat your pickled dried radish pickles, fragrant, numb, spicy and crispy!" It's better than meat! It was the first time I knew that dried radish was so delicious! Oh, the more I talk about it, the more I feel that this meat is unpalatable! I'll never come out to eat again! It's too bad to spend money! β
Han Jin took Zhou Lanxiang's half-bitten bun and ate it in one bite, and pushed his bowl of tofu brain over to her to drink: "Don't eat this bun, it's fishy, drink some tofu brain, this tofu brain is also unpalatable, let's take two sips!" I'll take you to eat roast lamb when I'm done. β
Zhou Lanxiang sighed in her heart, don't go, when the time comes, she will have to coax them to eat with chopsticks and chopsticks!
These two children were brought up by her, and even when they didn't know how to hold chopsticks, they didn't let her coax them to eat so hard!
Coaxed the two of them to finish eating, Han Jin asked Xiangxiang to sit warmly in the restaurant and wait for him, and he took Xiaoshan to "exchange" some food stamps. Before leaving, he repeatedly explained to Liu Datou, he must help him take care of it, but he can't let people bully Xiangxiang!
A few minutes after I walked out, I came back again, holding two bottles of orange soda and a pack of trough cakes in my hand, because I wanted to store Xiangxiang here, this time I knew that I was talking to the waiter with big pigtails.
"Their water is also unpalatable, you drink this, and when you are hungry, eat two trough cake mats." The soda is a little cold, drink it slowly, don't drink it cold, didn't Sister Fang Ya say that you drank cold and had a stomachache? Go out and walk 200 meters south is the public toilet, and then go further is the first department store, you don't go anywhere except the toilet, in case someone sees you look good and bully you! β
Zhou Lanxiang burst out laughing and pushed him to hurry away, don't talk nonsense here!
Han Jin walked to the door and turned back to her uneasily: "You wait for me to come back, don't walk around!" I'll come back and buy you a sugar gourd! β
Han Jin walked for a while, and the people in the hotel were still looking at Zhou Lanxiang openly or secretly, and Liu Datou personally brought her a small plate of fried peanuts with pulp, and came over and said a few words, inquiring about her relationship with Han Jin.
Zhou Lanxiang sat for a while, estimating that Han Jin and Xiaoshan had already exchanged the bean bags for food stamps, and now they were going to Han Lirong's house to deliver something, so they said hello to the big pigtail waiter, saying that they were going to go to the toilet and go to a hundred by the way, so they wrapped their scarves and went out.
The black market in the county town is on a small street called Mingshui Lane next to the Chengbei Railway Station, and the people who sell things walk on the street with a basket or a basket on their backs, and they don't sell, but they take the initiative to go over to say hello.
As long as there is no special crackdown, there is actually no one to care about here, after all, many families point to the supply of grain, oil and non-staple food and cannot eat at all, even if they can eat enough, they occasionally need some additional subsidies.
But now this is a seller's market, and you have to touch things to buy things, but you can't buy whatever you want. In her previous life, Zhou Lanxiang heard her talk about going to Mingshui Lane in difficult times at Teacher Sun's house, and once in 60 years, she saw a fellow with two dried rabbits in her hands, and the lady didn't want anything, so she wanted to buy a flower shirt for her daughter, and she almost took off her clothes for the aunt on the spot!
Zhou Lanxiang changed her clothes in the public toilet next to Mingshui Lane, and when she came out again, she was already wearing a shabby black cotton jacket that Han Jin had changed, a tattered locomotive cotton hat with exposed cotton on her head, a big mask on her face, and a big basket on her back, and walked to Mingshui Lane to find a leeward hand and squatted down.
Teacher Sun said that the food sellers in Mingshui Lane generally don't move, so they find a place to squat.
Soon, a thin black middle-aged man wearing a khaki tunic with a pen pinned to his breast pocket came over: "Fellow, what do you have in this basket?" Show me! β
Zhou Lanxiang secretly looked at him a few times, looked around again, and then took her hand out of her sleeve and spread out her palm to show him the small handful of flour in her hand.
That noodle looks like a coarse noodle pushed out by the stone mill at home, the skin has only been removed once, and the grinding is not fine, and the brown wheat bran in the flour can be faintly seen. But it must be this year's new wheat, so far away you can smell a smell of grain, if you take it back to steam steamed buns or roll a bowl of noodles for children, not to mention how fragrant!
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed: "Fellow, your noodles are too coarse, and you can't even catch up with the most inferior noodles in the grain store, so you can't sell them at a high price!" β
It is normal to bargain for trading, and Zhou Lanxiang is not brainy: "Two cents and one catty, two catties plus one foot of cloth tickets, or three cents and one catty, three catties plus one pound of food stamps." If you have a cotton ticket, it's better, one or two cotton tickets for two catties of noodles, no money. There are industrial coupons, oil stamps, and meat stamps, and we can discuss them again, and if you think it's not cost-effective, go and see someone else's. β
The main reason why she set the price like this is to ask for more cloth tickets and cotton tickets, and Xiao Jin has prepared the cotton clothes for her and Xiaoshan, but she can't use it, it was the ginseng he sold his grandfather bought for his daughter-in-law, and she had to keep it for him to use when he got married. But she can't do it now, or the stubborn child will definitely have to be anxious with her, so she has to earn the cotton and cloth that she and Xiaoshan made cotton clothes today.
The black and thin middle-aged man pushed his glasses, but he didn't say anything, but his face was a little urgent, this price is too cost-effective! Such a good noodle is sold for two cents and five pounds, and one pound and one pound of food stamps will be robbed like crazy!
The grain and oil of urban workers is three catties of fine grain and thirty catties of coarse grain a month, and the fine grain is said to be flour or rice, but many times it is replaced by millet or even cornmeal, and the vat of first- and second-class flour in the grain store is empty all year round, and the third-class flour is seven cents a catty, and one catty of grain stamps must be added.
The black and thin middle-aged man went to lift the straw curtain on Zhou Lanxiang's back basket: "Fellow, how many do you have?" If I buy more, can you give me a cheaper price? β
Zhou Lanxiang held it down and didn't let him lift it: "Let's see how many tickets you have first, I brought fifty catties of noodles today, and I can use the tickets to top the money, and I won't sell them if the tickets are less." If you want to buy it, you have to buy it all, and I don't sell it in parts. "She doesn't have that much time, and she knows that the more people she has, the less safe it is.
The middle-aged man took out the notebook in his pocket, walked away a few steps to the corner and began to check the ticket he brought, and at first glance he was a veteran who often came to the black market. The sellers here have everything, and those who come to buy things bring all the tickets they can bring at home, for fear that they will be preempted by watching the good things go back to their homes.
After counting for a while, the middle-aged man turned around and spread the pile of tickets in his notebook in front of Zhou Lanxiang: "That's all, ten feet of cloth tickets, two catties of meat tickets, one catty of oil tickets, five industrial coupons, and one soap ticket, one catty of kerosene, do you think it's okay?"
Let me tell you, now at the end of the month, no one has any money or no tickets, that is, I can take out so much at once! If you run into someone else, you will definitely have to die and lower the price for you! No one will come here after the next day, I don't believe you can wait a while, why do you have to carry the food back! β
Zhou Lanxiang shook her head: "If you don't have enough, forget it, I'll wait." β
The black and thin middle-aged man was very angry: "You said that you are a little fellow, why can't you listen to it!" How else can I hurt you? Just wait! Later, when I'm gone, you can't find anyone crying! β
Zhou Lanxiang turned his head and ignored him, he gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward, seeing that Zhou Lanxiang was determined not to call him, he came back again.
back and forth was discussing and scareping, and found that Zhou Lanxiang just didn't give him cheap or sold it to him, he gritted his teeth and added a few catties of food stamps still didn't work, the black and thin middle-aged man was so angry that he turned in circles, but he didn't want to leave if he didn't add money.
He was in a hurry, and a middle-aged woman with white and short hair also came over, and when she saw Zhou Lanxiang, she smiled first, looking very gentle and educated: "Girl, do you have fine grain?" β
Zhou Lanxiang stood up when she saw her, Teacher Sun!
In her previous life, she worked as a nanny at Mr. Sun's house for three years, and Mr. Sun treated her very well, helped her untie the knot, found an acquaintance to treat her, and taught her to read and write.
Zhou Lanxiang's eyes were a little hot, and Teacher Sun asked again, and she quickly nodded: "Yes!" This year's heart wheat noodles are fragrant when made of flower rolls! "Teacher Sun loves to eat the green onion rolls she made.
