"Waiter, bring me a smoked rabbit, a plate of Sixi meatballs, a plate of chopped pepper fish head, two taels of rice, plus a drawer of steamed dumplings with donkey meat filling."

In a state-run restaurant in Heihe, Han Mingxiu stood in front of the small blackboard with recipes written in the restaurant, ordering food while looking at the recipes.

"Well, I also want a seaweed egg drop soup and a plate of salted prawns......"

The waiter heard Han Mingxiu order so much, and glanced at her: "Are you alone?" Can you eat so much? ”

Han Mingxiu said: "If I can't eat, I'll pack it and take it away, you see, I even brought the packing guys." ”

She picked up the net bag in her hand, which jingled with several large bowls with lids, enough to hold all the food.

"Cheng, wait a minute!" The waiter wrote down these things that Han Mingxiu ordered in a small notebook and sent them to the kitchen.

Han Mingxiu picked a table near the stove and sat down, resting while waiting for the meal.

At this time, a young boy of six or seven years old was playing by the stove, and I saw him put some bud rice grains on the lid of the stove, ready to dry and eat as popcorn. He also took a few raw vermicelli, took out one and put it on the stove lid, only to hear the sound of "bang", the vermicelli suddenly swelled due to heat, and the little boy stuffed the swollen part in his mouth and ate it.

Han Mingxiu saw that the child was white and chubby, and it was rare to recruit people, so he beckoned to him, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and gave it to him.

The child got the candy and happily pointed to the bud particles on the lid of the stove and said to her: "Thank you, sister, I invite you to eat popcorn, this is the devil's bud, and the popcorn that bursts out is delicious." ”

As he spoke, a bud on the lid of the stove exploded with a bang, and a large, white popcorn appeared in front of him, as if it had collapsed with a popcorn machine.

And then another, one after the other......

Han Mingxiu was taken aback, because when she was a child, she also put bud rice grains and soybean grains on the lid of the stove, but it can only be baked, and it can't really collapse popcorn, if you want to eat real popcorn, you have to wait for the market to find a master with a popcorn stove to collapse, and it costs money.

This is the first time she's seen popcorn burst out with a normal stove lid.

Surprised, she took a closer look at the buds on the lid of the stove and found that these buds were different from ordinary buds.

Ordinary bud rice grains are a bit like teeth after rubbing them down, flat and neat, but the bud rice grains on the lid of this stove are round, with a small point, much smaller than ordinary bud rice grains, and seem to be a little transparent!

It's the first time Han Mingxiu has seen such buds, if he gets some back to plant them, won't he be able to have popcorn to eat?

"Kid, where did you get these buds? Anything else? My sister exchanged sugar with you. Han Mingxiu took out a few more pieces of colorful fruit candy from his pocket and shook them under the little boy's nose.

When the little boy saw so many fruit candies, his eyes straightened, and he nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, sister, you wait, I'll bring it to you." ”

After saying that, the little boy didn't even bring a hat, so he ran out of the hotel and ran to the grain and oil processing factory next door.

It turned out that he was the child of an employee of the grain and oil processing factory next door, because there was nothing interesting in the grain and oil processing factory, so he ran to the restaurant to play, but he didn't expect to meet his sister who could exchange sugar for budding rice grains with him.

After a while, a woman in her thirties led the child in, and as soon as she entered the door, the little boy pointed to Han Mingxiu and said, "Mom, it's this sister who wants to exchange sugar for bud rice with me." ”

After the woman walked over, she glanced at Han Mingxiu and said gently, "Comrade, do you want devil buds?" ”

Han Mingxiu nodded: "Well, I tasted the popcorn that came out of the devil's bud rice is very delicious, and I want to get some seeds and go back and plant some myself." ”

The woman took out six ears of palm-length devil bud rice from her two pockets and put it on the table in front of Han Mingxiu, "These, how many pieces of candy can you give?" ”

Han Mingxiu looked at the six ears of small buds, although they were not big, but the buds were very dense, at least two ridges could be planted, enough for her to popcorn to eat.

She pretended to put her hand in her pocket, grabbed a large handful of candy, and placed it on the table.

"Is that enough?"

There are more than ten pieces of this handful of sugar, and in terms of value, it must be more expensive than these six ears of bud rice, and this woman is so happy that she smiles when she sees this handful of sugar.

"Enough, enough." She quickly grabbed the candy, put it in her pocket, and motioned to Han Mingxiu with her eyes to put the few ears of buds on it, so as not to let others see the trouble.

Han Mingxiu put the six ears of bud rice in his pocket, but he was not as flustered as this woman.

Although it is not possible to speculate in this era, buy and sell privately, but such a small thing as exchanging a few ears of bud rice for a few pieces of sugar is generally not targeted.

What's more, it's not yet the official meal, there is not a single guest in the restaurant, one of the two waiters is sleeping on the table, and the other has not come out again since he entered the kitchen, probably chatting with the chef, and no one has seen their transaction, so there is no need to panic.

The woman was very cautious, and after changing the sugar, she took the child and hurried away, and Han Mingxiu didn't care, and continued to sit there leisurely, waiting for her meal while roasting the warm stove.

After a while, Han Mingxiu's meal was ready.

Because she was the only guest at this time, the meal was served quickly, from ordering to serving, and it took less than forty minutes for it to be served.

In this era, the emphasis is on genuineness, and the dishes that come up are very large, such as the plate of Sixi balls, each of which is the size of Han Mingxiu's fist, and the plate of saltwater prawns, at least more than a catty......

After the meal was served, Han Mingxiu picked up the chopsticks and ate it.

Today, she tossed for a short day, in order to rent a house, she didn't pour out her energy to eat at noon, and almost ran to the residential areas on this side of the Heihe, and her legs were straight, and she was already hungry at this time.

At the moment, of course, she will not be polite.

So, after a meal of sighing and opening the bow left and right, these meals were eaten all over the place, and the cups and plates were messy.

Of course, she was full.

Han Mingxiu folded the leftovers into her bowl and put them in a net pocket.

It's all her own leftovers, and there's nothing to dislike about it, and it's still good to take it out when she doesn't have anything to eat after receiving it in the space.

After settling the account, she walked out of the hotel with her net and walked all the way to the hotel in front of the station.

The night in the north came very early, it was only four o'clock, it was already dark, and the buses were off work. Han Mingxiu walked to a quiet place, put the net pocket into the space, put his hand in the coat pocket, and walked towards the hotel in front of the station.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, she came to the hotel where she and Huo Jianfeng stayed last time, Han Mingxiu took the letter of introduction and opened a single room and moved in.

There was hot water in her space, a big tank, Han Mingxiu scooped out some hot water, first washed her face and hair, and finally washed her feet, and her body suddenly warmed up and loosened.

After that, she took out her futon and laid it out, took off her clothes and got into the bed, and soon fell asleep.

What happened today didn't affect her mood, although she was really angry at first, but then she thought about it.

Those so-called official wives are all clowns who jump off the beam with the power of dogs, judging from the experience of her two lifetimes, such a person will not last long, she can't be angry with such people, and she can't punish herself with their mistakes......

When she slept until about eight o'clock, she was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

"Who?" Han Mingxiu turned on the light, and subconsciously felt that he was coming.

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, Huo Jianfeng immediately responded, "It's me, Xiu'er, I'm here to pick you up." ”

Han Mingxiu hurriedly put on her clothes, put her futon into the space, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Huo Jianfeng and Ma Lijun were standing there in the dust, as soon as they saw Han Mingxiu, Huo Jianfeng hugged her and kept saying, "Xiu'er, I'm sorry, I've wronged you, are you okay......?"

Before he met Han Mingxiu, Huo Jianfeng had always been very worried, worried that she was not here, worried that he would not find her, afraid that something would happen to her as a girl in this strange city, afraid that she would be afraid, afraid that she would be bullied......

In short, all kinds of worries......

The moment he saw her, the hanging heart finally fell to the ground, as if a priceless treasure had been lost and recovered, which made him sad and happy!

Han Mingxiu stretched out her chest, kept a distance from him, and whispered, "I'm fine, don't get excited, there are still people here." ”

People in this era are still very conservative, how embarrassed he was to hug her in front of Ma Lijun.

But this time, Ma Lijun didn't joke because they hugged and hugged, but said with a guilty face: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you during the day......"

Han Mingxiu smiled and said: "It's okay, you have done your best, besides, the official level crushes people to death, not to mention, people are more than one level higher than us." ”
