Several people talked and arrived at the restaurant, and after taking a seat, Hua Min introduced: "Minglou is the most famous restaurant in Mingcheng, and the food in it is a must, and the taste is particularly good." The chef at this restaurant is a thoughtful person who always makes delicious dishes. ”

Lin Yan said with a smile: "It seems that you are a frequent visitor here, and you will be the one to do it today." ”

Shui Sheng immediately said, "I agree. ”

Hong Ling and Yun Qing followed closely and said, "I agree. ”

The smile on Hua Min's face froze, and she looked at Lin Yan in disbelief, "You're kidding, right?" ”

"No kidding, I'm serious." Lin Yan was serious, "Hua Min, as a friend, don't you deserve to have a meal?" ”

Hua Min gritted her teeth: "Do you have to go online like this?" There is a long line of people who want to invite you to dinner, and it's a small honor for you to look at me. ”

"Haha. Teasing you, it scares you, it's just a meal, you are such a big official, you don't have the money to have a treat. ”

Shui Sheng smiled and quipped: "Who doesn't know that Hua Min is short of money, Lin Yan, you don't understand the situation." Whoever asks Hua Min to spend money is cutting her flesh,"

"So serious?" Lin Yan was taken aback, "No, it's just a meal, at most one yuan, it's already up to the sky." ”

"Really, there's a joke in this." Hong Ling added with a smile.

Hua Min's face flushed, "Be merciful, don't reveal the truth." ”

Lin Yan was even more curious, "Tell me, what's wrong?" ”

Yun Qing: "I want to know too. ”

Shui Sheng looked at Hua Min with a smile, "A lot of people know about it, and they don't mind a few more people, right?" ”

Without waiting for Hua Min to respond, he continued: "We all know that Hua Min spends money lavishly, and her aunt is strict, only leaving pocket money every month, and taking everything else." Hua Min wanted to buy something, and she searched for it. ”

"Whoever picks and searches, it's not that I don't have money and can't afford it. If I had money, I would be like that. Hua Min retorted unconvinced.

"Once, the teacher at the school got married, and Hua Min, as a colleague and leader, usually got along well, but she was not allowed to give gifts to others. As a result, there were a lot of people who went that day, do you know what gift Hua Min gave?"

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Lin Yan's curiosity could not be suppressed.

With a smile in his eyes, Hong Ling answered: "An enlightenment book, in the name of a beautiful one, for that teacher's baby to use in the future." ”

Shui Sheng said with a smile: "At that time, the book printing technology was already good, and the enlightenment books were everywhere in the bookstore, and you could buy one for eight cents." The most excessive thing is that the one given by Hua Min was not bought, but turned out from the corner of the office. ”

"Hahaha, Hua Min, I really didn't expect you to be able to do such a thing." Lin Yan was overjoyed, "You're so embarrassed to take it out, people's wedding gifts, so many people are present, why are you embarrassed." ”

Hua Min's face flushed, "That's not that there is no money, at that time, money was tight, there was no penny, and my aunt was the strictest in management." If I hadn't really had it, I wouldn't have been. ”

Yun Qing smiled in his eyes, "Did you bring any money today?" ”

Hua Min's face changed, and she said vigilantly: "No money." You also know that my aunt is in Mingcheng, if I dare to borrow money on credit, she will definitely clean me up and not give me pocket money for a few months. ”

Lin Yan sympathized with Hua Min very much and received a lot of salary, but unfortunately he couldn't get it. The scenery on the surface is infinite, but in fact, there is not a penny in the pocket, it is so big, and it has to be stared at by the fragrance of flowers.

"Okay, I'll invite you for this meal, you can rest assured, I won't cut your flesh."

Hua Min changed to a smile in seconds, "It's settled, don't regret it." I'll order first, and I'll have a few signature dishes. ”

Lin Yan: "...... Changing face too quickly. ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

The food came up quickly, and after tasting it, Lin Yan nodded and praised: "It's really delicious." This braised pork is not greasy at all, and it melts in your mouth. ”

Hua Min: "That's the most famous sauce roast meat in Minglou, nine cents a dish, if it's not delicious, who is willing to spend money." ”

While eating, Lin Yan suddenly said, "If it is accompanied by fragrant rice, it will be even more delicious." ”

Several people who were eating looked up at Lin Yan at the same time.

Hong Ling reacted the fastest: "Have you eaten rice?" ”

Lin Yan nodded: "Yes, there is rice sold in Ancheng, we came back this time and brought some, but unfortunately the amount was too small and we didn't have to eat it." When we can grow rice ourselves, we will have rice to eat. ”

Hua Min was curious: "What does rice taste like, it's better than flour?" ”

"It's a different taste, I can't compare. Someone prefers pasta, someone prefers rice, and it's normal. Lin Yan sighed, "Do you know how rice is sold in Ancheng?" ”

Several people shook their heads honestly, none of them had ever seen rice, they had only heard of it.

"The cheapest pound of rice costs five taels of silver, which is at least two yuan when converted into our prices."

"This is a sky-high price, who dares to eat it, every bite is money." Hua Min was stimulated, "Ancheng people are really rich, two yuan can buy two hundred catties of flour, you are willing to eat such expensive rice." ”

Lin Yancan smiled, "It's not greedy, it's a pity not to taste it." ”

Shuisheng: "So many of you, have all eaten?" ”

Lin Yan nodded, "It's not easy for everyone to be outside, it's not good to eat alone." Gao Qiang bought 20 catties of rice, and we ate it cleanly. ”

"It's too loser, what kind of food is this, it's obviously burning money." Hua Min was heartbroken, "One pound is so expensive, you actually bought twenty pounds to eat." ”

Shui Sheng, Hong Ling, and Yun Qing also changed their faces, they were also people who had experienced strong winds and waves, and they were all frightened by the high price of rice at the moment.

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Yan also knew that this contrast was too obvious, "The price of goods in Ancheng is high, and not everyone can afford to eat rice, only the elite class is eligible." People living at the bottom have a very hard life, not only starving and having no fixed place to live, but also being oppressed and exploited by the elites, often beaten and scolded, and even killed. ”

Lin Yan said a few words about the current situation in Ancheng, and the few people who were still envious just now immediately felt the heaviness.

Shui Sheng: "Anseong has a different system from ours, and it is very difficult to change it. ”

"Yes, our system is different. In the outside world, things like Anseong are the norm. Lin Yan had to pierce the surface, "When the Sun Alliance was established at that time, our purpose was justice and equality, which was a provocation to the elite and infringed on their interests, and there was bound to be a tough battle in the future." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Yun Qing expectantly, "The military department is our confidence, and only the stronger the military department, the more we can move forward bravely." ”

Yun nodded lightly and said solemnly, "I understand." Rest assured, with me for a day, I will never be held back. ”

Aqua: "We're still not strong enough, we have to work harder." ”

Lin Yan: "We must work hard in all aspects, and what everyone does is very important. ”

Several people who ate a meal were in a mood and had their own thoughts.
