After getting off work, Zhang Qian walked out of the factory with her hands in her pockets, and walked all the way to the direction of the courtyard.

At this time, there are not so many high-rise buildings in the city, and the tallest buildings are only four or five floors, and the streets are full of antique old-fashioned buildings, which seem to be a little less prosperous and more elegant and historical.

There are not so many cars on the road, not even as many bicycles as expected, but there are many horse-drawn carriages mixed in the flow of people, coming and going.

She didn't go home directly, but went to the grain station at the mouth of the alley, and according to her memory, the price of food should have risen sharply this year.

This is a big problem related to the stomach, so Zhang Qian decided to go to the grain store to see it herself.

As soon as she entered the grain station, Zhang Qian smelled a strong smell of wheat, and behind the wooden counter, bags of grain were piled up.

At this time, there were still many people queuing up in front of the counter, each holding a small red notebook in their hands, which was the food supply book for the residents of Sijiu City.

People who come to buy grain need to give the grain book to the staff who are responsible for collecting money and issuing invoices, and let the family check to see if you are nearby, and whether it belongs to the grain station.

If you are not a resident of this neighborhood, you cannot buy grain at this grain station, and you must register in detail what grain you have bought and how much you have bought.

Because there are strict records of the number of residents in the jurisdiction of each grain station, the grain depot will send the corresponding amount of grain to the grain station every month according to the residents' quantitative standards.

It doesn't matter if there is a small amount of discrepancies in the middle, once there is a large difference in the grain at a certain grain station, it will attract attention, and there will be people from the yamen to investigate.

For example, if your family's food ration is 100 catties per month, but you buy 300 catties every month, then you are finished, and you will be taken away to investigate and explain the source of the food stamps.

I didn't have a penny in my pocket, but I just stood in the grain station and looked at the situation, and then looked at the price of grain written on the small blackboard at the door:

"Stick noodles are one and three cents per catty, sorghum noodles are one and a half per catty, white flour is one and eight cents per catty, and rice is two cents and seven per catty."

Looking at the price of food on the small blackboard, Zhang Qian was a little puzzled, didn't the price increase, could it be a mistake.

Coming out of the grain station, Zhang Qian didn't go to other places, but chose to go home directly, it was time to go home for dinner.

When Zhang Qian arrived home, almost all the people in the courtyard had arrived at home, and everyone was cooking at the door, and the food was almost the same, stick noodle porridge with wotou pickles.

When you meet a family that has improved its food today, stir-fry a vegetable and eat a white flour steamed bun, the chin can be lifted to the sky, if you are gritting your teeth and scrambling an egg, it will be even more terrible!

I had to hold a bowl and beat the eggs with chopsticks, and I wanted to let the whole hospital know that their family was eating scrambled eggs today.

"Xiaoqian, are you back? Would you like to eat noodles tonight? Zhou Jianguo asked with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Jianguo, let's eat noodles at night."

"Then I'll make you pot noodles to eat at night!"

The method of boiling pot noodles is simple, stir-fry the chopped green onions in oil slightly, add soy sauce and stir-fry until fragrant, and then add water to boil the noodles.

If there are two more eggs in it, it is definitely nutritious and healthy.

The aroma of stir-fried green onions in oil, mixed with the aroma of soy sauce, is still drooling for gluttonous people, so that many people who are cooking at the door can see it.

"Jianguo~ What to do deliciously! It smells so good! ”

Aunt Jiang was also cooking at the door, smelling the aroma from Zhang Qian's house, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Cook some pot noodles to eat, do you want to try my craftsmanship too!"

Zhou Jianguo raised his head and smiled at Aunt Jiang, and responded very politely.

Just when Zhou Jianguo and Aunt Jiang were here, you were polite to me, but Mrs. Xue, who was also cooking on the other side, couldn't listen to it, and said with disgust:

"You kid, this is really not a family that doesn't know that firewood and rice are expensive, eat noodles and use oil boiling pots, so you won't live, sooner or later you will lose your family, there will be a time for you to cry!"

Mrs. Xue's voice was not loud or small, but it was enough for the people who were cooking in the courtyard to listen softly, Zhang Qian, who was already looking at her unpleasantly, heard that someone was bullying her own man, how could she get used to her, and immediately replied:

"Mrs. Xue~ I found out why you are so nosy, your family has just eaten a few days full! Forgot what your last name was? ”

"Do you have any to eat noodles at home? Salty radish don't worry about it, I tell you don't mess with me! Believe it or not, I transferred your Xiaoling to the cleaning department to sweep the floor. ”

Mrs. Xue was stunned by Zhang Qian's scolding, and just wanted to open her mouth to scold back, but she hesitated for a moment, she knew that Zhang Qian had a lot of power in the factory, and if she really swept Xiao Ling to sweep the floor, the face of the old Xue family would be lost.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xue swallowed back the dirty words that had come to her mouth, and the old man with an old face went back to the house with a babbling mouth.

The noodles were cooked quickly, the noodles were very fragrant, Zhang Qian held the big bowl and ate it cleanly, even drinking a drop of soup, Zhou Jianguo looked at her unfinished look, and allocated half of the noodles in his bowl to her, lying that he was not hungry and let her eat more!

After dinner~ Zhang Qian and Zhou Jianguo, sitting at the table with nothing to do, staring wide-eyed, there is no entertainment in this era.

There is nothing else to do except sit in the courtyard and talk to each other about the mountains and play chess, otherwise it is to turn off the lights early and go to bed.

The summer in Sijiu City is very hot, and today's weather is even more stuffy and scary, there is not even a trace of wind, Zhou Jianguo sat in the house and sweated all over his body, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

I simply took off my clothes and ran to the faucet with a towel to take a shower.

After taking a cold bath, Zhou Jianguo felt much refreshed, and went back to the house with a basin humming a little song, at this time Zhang Qian was already lying on the bed, staring at the roof with big eyes.

.....

Next.

The time was just after five o'clock, and Zhou Jianguo got up.

She ran outside the house, poked the stove on, made water and began to boil rice porridge and steam steamed buns.

After Zhou Jianguo's breakfast was cooked, Zhang Qian rubbed her eyes and walked out of the house, yawned and walked to Zhou Jianguo's side, sniffed hard, and then said with a smile:

"It smells so good! Why do your steamed buns steam so much more fragrant than other people's steamed buns? ”

Zhou Jianguo said triumphantly:

"Nonsense~ I steamed steamed steamed buns with two noodles, and white sugar was added to them! Can it smell good? You hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth, and then come over for dinner! ”

After Zhou Jianguo finished speaking, he brought the rice porridge and steaming steamed buns to the table.

By the time Zhang Qian finished washing up and came back, Zhou Jianguo had already served him porridge, and the chopsticks were also placed on the side of the bowl.
