Chapter 2 Food is too expensive
In later generations, Luo Cheng's womanhood was not good, he had pimples in high school, his height was not as high as it is now, and his grades were also average.
Later, when I went to a technical school, my major was related to driving and repairing, not to mention that he was in the class, and there was no girl in the whole school in this industry. So Luo Cheng has always been eager to communicate with the opposite sex, and now although the two girls look very average, Luo Cheng is still more enthusiastic.
The older one is called Qin Xiaoli, and the little girl is her cousin, called Qin Lan. Qin Lan's family lived in a village near Longyang Town, so Qin Xiaoli hoped that Luo Cheng could help escort Qin Lan home. And she didn't go back, she lived in the city, and she used to marry from the village.
Qin Xiaoli's request to be honest made Luo Cheng a little embarrassed, mainly because there was no transportation in these years, and he had to rely on two legs to give people away. But men, there is always that damn self-esteem, and under Qin Xiaoli's eager request, he still agreed.
The car was not full, and the car started after waiting for a long time to leave. Luo Cheng didn't know the situation and didn't understand what the six years meant. This means driving from the city to the county seat and township, and if you come back, there are fewer people in the car.
The fare of a few cents is not affordable for anyone in these years, especially people in the countryside. That's the money you can buy for a few catties of stick noodles.
When the car departed, Qin Xiaoli explained a lot to Qin Lan, the most important thing was the small backpack on her body. Thousands of instructions were asked for her attention, which also aroused Luo Cheng's curiosity.
"Qin Lan~~ Comrade, what are you in this bag, it's so mysterious."
In the car, Luo Cheng was really bored, seeing that Qin Lan was still holding his backpack in the car, he couldn't help but ask, of course, the special terms of this era were also added, and the word comrade was brought after the title.
A question made Qin Lan instantly nervous. If it weren't for Luo Cheng's military uniform, he wouldn't look like a bad guy, so she would have taken precautions. Qin Xiaoli asked Luo Cheng for help, that is, because Luo Cheng was wearing a retired military uniform, otherwise how could such an escort be easily handed over to a stranger.
Qin Lan looked at the people in the car, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she was still a little relieved about Luo Cheng. The other party is a soldier, and if he wants to have bad thoughts about what he has on him, then no one will be able to protect it at that time. So he quietly leaned on Luo Cheng and opened the backpack.
"It's stick noodles, my cousin helps my family."
Stick noodles, Luo Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he reached out and got a little bit from Qin Lan's bag and watched it in his hand. This is the legendary stick noodles, although there were also stick noodles in later generations, but the stick noodles with the times can be said to be completely different.
It is very coarse, the particles are large, and there are many impurities in it, and the color is not as fine and yellow as the stick noodles of later generations. In later generations, the stick noodles were high-grade grains, and they were sold more expensive than flour.
"It's delicious."
Luo Cheng asked, he hadn't eaten this thing, he was very curious, and Qin Lan naturally nodded seriously. This is life-saving food, how can food not be delicious.
It takes two hours to drive, and in the afterlife, this distance can be reached in about an hour at most. But in this day and age, the car itself is one thing, and the road is difficult to walk on the other.
The car was parked at an intersection on the dirt road, and four or five people from Luo Cheng and the other passengers got out of the car. And this intersection actually leads to several places, and there is no one else who goes to Longyang Town except Luo Cheng and Qin Lan.
I don't have a mobile phone or a watch to check the time, but Luo Cheng is hungry, and when he gets off the train, it is actually almost ten o'clock in the morning, and there is a wall clock at the train station. Roughly calculate the time, twelve o'clock must have passed.
Fortunately, the seasons have also changed, and the season at that time in the later generations of Luo Cheng was late May, which was the graduation time of the school. And now it's autumn, and it's November, the retirement season. This is very good for Luo Cheng, if it was the previous season, at this o'clock at noon, carrying something on his back, it would be summer, and people would die of heat.
But in November, it's also hot at noon. It was hot and hungry, and it didn't take long to get out of the car, and Luo Chengcheng couldn't stand it. The new check-in won't be regained until 12 p.m., and there is nothing to eat in the system right now, there is no shortage of drink, and he still has water in the kettle.
If you're hungry, you can't eat melon seeds, a bag of peanuts is good, I hope it's five-spiced. Or salty, creamy and sweet Luo Cheng is not used to eating. In addition, there is instant noodles, there is no hot water, and if you eat dry, I haven't eaten like this for many years.
But no matter what, it tastes better than eating a little hard steamed bun.
"Comrade Qin Lan, are you hungry, do you have something to eat."
Luo Cheng stopped his pace, took a sip of water directly into his mouth with a kettle and asked.
Qin Lan was very embarrassed when she asked a word of inquiry, how could there be anyone who wasn't hungry these years, she didn't know how long she hadn't eaten enough. And she didn't have anything else to eat at all except the stick noodles in her backpack. On the way here, I thought about it, at most, I didn't eat anything at noon, and when I got home in the evening, I could eat stick batter.
But the family agreed to escort her home, but it was okay if the other party didn't open her mouth, this opening, Qin Lan really didn't have anything for Luo Cheng to eat.
Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Lan was still looking at Luo Cheng's kettle, and couldn't help but speak.
"Comrade Luo Cheng, I~ I haven't eaten, can you give me a sip of water."
Looking closely, Qin Lan is just very thin, a little skinny, and his skin is sallow, but he is not ugly. The kettle was drunk by Luo Cheng with his mouth, and if he gave her to drink it again, Luo Cheng was a little embarrassed.
"Come, I've got a bottle of water here, I've got it for you, and I've got a box of noodles here, let's have half of each of us." Grab a bite to eat before hitting the road. ”
Luo Cheng reached into his backpack and took out the mineral water without any label, and then took out the instant noodles as well. As for the steamed buns, they are too Lou, and it doesn't feel good to take them out to entertain people.
Noodles, that's fine grain, Qin Lan hurriedly shook his head when he heard it. This Pingshui meeting, it is already a great kindness to let the other party send him back to the village, how can he eat the other party's grain, and it is also fine grains such as noodles.
And this water, in a plastic bottle, this bottle is so beautiful, I haven't seen it. So even the water, Qin Lan didn't dare to drink it.
"Take it, your mouth is dry, I'll help you turn the water on."
Luo Cheng saw that Qin Lan didn't accept the water, thinking that she was polite, so he took the initiative to open the water, and then the instant noodles were in barrels, after all, it was a train package, and there must be no bowl for the bag to be soaked and eaten.
The bucket noodles are still three-five shaped products, no origin date and shelf life, Luo Cheng directly tore off a layer of paper cover packaging on the noodles, and then took out the noodles inside, pulled it with his hand, two halves, a lot of slag noodles fell into the box, and a little bit because he accidentally fell to the ground.
Qin Lan saw the fine noodle particles that fell to the ground, and felt a little difficult to breathe, how could she be so careless, it was food, it was grain, it was fine grain.
"I'll give you a box to eat, my man, just take it with your hands."
"No~ no, really no, I'm not hungry~~."
Qin Lan was a little scared, this was fine grain, so he really didn't dare to take it. But when he said he wasn't hungry, his stomach rumbled because he felt the food.
In the end, Luo Cheng still smiled and forcibly stuffed her. Then I drank water and chewed the instant noodles in my hand.
"Do you eat this noodle without cooking?"
Qin Lan didn't eat the noodles immediately, she had eaten the noodles before, but she had never eaten such noodles.
