Chapter 1358: The Short-lived Cousin of the Heroine of the Ten Thousand Households (40)
In addition to the New Year's holiday, there are not many people who usually take the train, especially the sleeper, so every time you arrive at a station, you have to stop for a long time.
The sleeper box where Xu Yin and the two were located, when they first got in the car, the two of them went down to the bunk, drank tea, read a book, nibbled on a crisp peach and dried fish sent by Master Zhao, and took out the dry food and snacks they made at the meal, which was also quiet and leisurely.
However, after Tan County, there are more people.
Many people can't buy hard-seat tickets, and the journey is long, so they have to grit their teeth and buy sleeper tickets.
Xu Yin thought that if it was her parents who came, there was a good chance that she would also buy a hard seat ticket.
Sleeper tickets are more than twice as expensive as hard seats, and there is a lot of money difference between one and the other.
In these years, only those who go out on business and can find reimbursement for travel expenses are willing to take sleepers.
Therefore, even if there are many passengers coming in and out of each station, the sleeper box is still quite quiet here, and individual passengers get on and off the bus, and it will not be as noisy as the hard seat area.
The box where Xu Yin and the two were located did not come up until noon the next day, when they stopped at Mingxian Station, a little couple came up.
From their conversation, it was learned that the girl was an educated youth, and she went to the countryside to join the queue and fell in love with the local youth, and this time she took her husband back to her parents' house to visit relatives.
They bought tickets for the middle bunk, and his wife slept on the top bunk of Xu Yin; The husband slept on the top bunk of Rui Xijin.
When the train stopped at Mingxian Station, it was exactly noon.
Xu Yin and the two were preparing to have lunch:
There are still two rice balls left, one for Xu Yin and Rui Xijin; Untied the clean and breathable gauze cotton bag containing the corn steamed buns, and took out three corn steamed buns, one for her and two for Rui Xijin.
On the small dining table, there was also a can of beef sauce, a salted duck egg, and two cups of seaweed and shrimp soup.
The couple who had just gotten into the car glanced at their food and saw that it was so rich, so the husband asked, "Is there still soup and rice balls for sale in the food truck?" ”
Rui Xijin glanced at the other party, raised her chin slightly and pointed at Xu Yin with a proud face: "No, she did it." ”
"You're so good at your work! This steamed bun looks so soft, not dry at all, and the rice ball looks delicious. ”
“……”
As soon as these words came out, Rui Xijin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Xu Yin, her first reaction was that she was afraid that she would be angry, obviously she was not the object, and she was forced to add an object, Master Xu would not resign in anger, right?
So where is he going to find a second master chef who can make him eat?
Xu Yin didn't react much, and it was not a matter of time before she got along with Comrade Xiao Jin?
Still calmly drinking the soup.
After eating, Rui Xijin consciously picked up the teacups of the two of them, went to the boiling water room outside the toilet to rinse, and then came back with a cup of boiling water.
In the afternoon, I still read my own book.
Xu Yin was reading a collection of patterns that she had just picked up from a stall a few days ago, which was full of weaving patterns of various patterns.
She used to weave only a few simple methods, but this book opened up a new world for her, and it turned out that wool needles could weave such intricate patterns.
While admiring, I pretended to have a ball of yarn and a pair of knitting needles in my hand, and learned to practice according to the patterns in the book. I have the opportunity to get some wool out and knit a new sweater for my parents for the New Year.
Oh, and the old lady. This time, she had to rely on her milk to drag her parents and let them not chase them to the city.
Half a day has passed.
When the sunlight dimmers, you know that it is evening.
Xu Yin put down the book, leaned against the window with her elbows and admired the sunset that loomed as the train moved forward for a while, and asked Rui Xijin, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”
Rui Xijin: "......" can still order?
Xu Yin smiled: "The masters have made a lot of durable food for us to eat on the way, there are bread and baked cakes, which one do you want to eat?" Oh yes, and I've tried a few fried dough pies, would you like to try them? ”
The supply and marketing building sells instant noodles, but it is not the kind of instant noodles with seasoning packets in later generations, but it does not need to be boiled in a pot, packed in a lunch box, soaked in boiling water twice and cooked, and sprinkled with green onion salt after being fished out is a green onion mixed noodles.
But the supply is small, and it is not only about buying and asking for tickets, but also about luck.
When instant noodles arrive, and you happen to be buying something at the supply and marketing cooperative, you happen to have a food ticket in your hand, congratulations, you can grab a pack to try it.
Xu Yin saw the scene of snatching instant noodles in the supply and marketing building, which was called crazy.
Instant noodles with no condiments and no soul meat sauce are so sought after, no wonder instant noodles with ingredients will be so popular after they come out.
Although fried instant noodle cakes are not so healthy, in the era of lack of oil and water, it is okay to eat one meal once in a while.
Fried dough costs oil, so she fried it in her dorm room with healthy walnut oil, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids. I forgot which small world hoarded it, anyway, there was a lot of it, and it wouldn't hurt to take it out and fry the dough.
In addition to the dough cake, she also brought the best noodles with dried green onions, sesame oil, and sesame paste.
Salty and light are mixed with beef sauce.
Two aluminum lunch boxes, one box of bread, flush with boiling water, cover for a while, pour out the water after two minutes, soak again, and then you can mix.
As soon as she started mixing, Xu Yin heard two sounds of swallowing saliva.
She looked up and met Rui Xijin's innocent eyes.
"Not me." He said.
The little couple in the middle bunk was a little embarrassed.
"Aha! It smells so good! ”
"Yes, yes, it smells like we're all hungry."
"I was busy catching the train at noon, and I didn't eat well."
"I'm going to buy something to eat."
The husband took the money and tickets and went to the dining car, and the wife pretended to be picking pickles in the bag, but in fact, the corner of her eye kept peeking at Xu Yin's noodles.
Xu Yin mixed one portion, handed it to Rui Xijin, and then continued to mix her own.
Tonight's dinner is instant noodles with seaweed soup.
"Let's eat!"
After Xu Yin was ready, Rui Xijin picked up the chopsticks and started at the same time as her.
After two brews, the noodles are completely soft, but they are full of strength, and the texture is completely different from that of freshly rolled out.
Soaking soft dried green onions brings out the flavor of chives, which is no less than fresh green onions.
The beef sauce is originally very fresh, and with sesame sauce, it is fresh and fragrant, so fresh that it makes people drop their tongues.
Rui Xijin ate very happily.
Xu Yin also expressed her satisfaction with the fried instant noodle cake she tried for the first time. However, no matter how healthy walnut oil is, you can't eat more, this time it is fried in oil to save time, and if you want to eat it later, you have to think about non-fried pastries.
She and Rui Xijin ate deliciously, and the young couple in the middle shop watched them eat deliciously.
The husband spent three cents plus two taels of food stamps, bought two meat buns, and made a bowl of white porridge.
The meat buns on the train cost a dime and a half.
Usually at home, the state-run restaurant is reluctant to buy a dime a meat bun to eat, how can I be willing to buy a dime a meat bun on the train.
But the man was really hungry for instant noodles mixed in the lower bunk, so he gritted his teeth and bought two back.
The husband and wife each have a meat bun, and then they drink a porridge.
I thought it would be very fragrant, but when I saw a mouthful of beef sauce mixed noodles and a mouthful of seaweed and shrimp soup, I suddenly felt that the meat bun in my hand was not fragrant.
