She turned her head to look,
It turned out to be the young man who sold food in the black market.
Fortunately, the young man's focus was not on this. He said happily,
"I didn't expect to meet you here,
So you live in Brouther Bo's house. This was really a flood rushing to the Dragon King's temple. Sigh! I used to come to Brouther Bo's house,
Why haven't I seen you before. "
Zhao Lanxiang said, "I'm an educated youth in the brigade. My dormitory collapsed, so I'm temporarily living in the He family."
The person who sold food looked at her.
"You made the mung bean cake that Brouther Bo sold this morning, right? I knew as soon as I saw you... how could he have such skills? In the past, I always persuaded him to join the industry and work with me, but he refused,
Maybe in his heart, he looks down on bad elements like us who are speculators! You're quite capable to be able to get me, Brouther Bo, to willingly help you sell things. "
Zhao Lanxiang was a little surprised. When this young man mentioned He Songbai, he always said "Brouther Bo" in a natural and respectful tone. They were not like the villagers in Hezi Village.
When he was mentioned, their faces were full of disdain.
This made Zhao Lanxiang have a good impression of this young man who sold food.
"Those customers who bought duck meat from you last time came to my food stall every day to ask about you. You made people stretch their necks and wait for you for so long in vain. You should at least give them a definite answer,
When will you make another jar to sell? It's really strange. Is this thing really so delicious that it makes people think about it? "
Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but laugh. She had no plans to make duck food for a long time,
"I won't do it anymore,
Next time, I'll sell something else. "
It wasn't that she didn't want to make money,
Because the last time she sold duck food,
She didn't notice and showed her face. For the sake of personal safety, she didn't make ducks to sell this time.
Moreover, buying duck meat was not an easy thing to do. Other people would buy one or two taels of meat to satisfy their cravings, but she bought more than ten kilograms in one go. It was hard not to attract attention. In addition, queuing up was also a problem. Whether or not they could buy it depended on luck. In this era of planned economy, how could there be so much meat for everyone to eat?
In summary, the duck food business was not easy to do. Zhao Lanxiang would not make duck food again in the near future.
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
She led the food seller to the kitchen. The young man stared at the fragrant braised meat rice in the pot and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. "Your cooking is quite good. No wonder the duck meat was sold out so quickly that day. Can I have a bowl of such fragrant rice? "
The person who sold the grain was very conscious. Even though he and He Songbai called each other brothers, he did not think of freeloading off the grain for free. Before coming to the He Clan, he had already prepared himself to eat bran and wild vegetables. He didn't expect such a pleasant surprise! The He family's situation had changed for the better. Their food supply had completely changed. They were so rich that they could eat meat now!
This kind of fried rice with meat and vegetables was already a luxurious feast in the eyes of the food seller.
Zhao Lanxiang also filled a bowl for the food seller. Fortunately, the laborers in the family were all big eaters. When she cooked, she was used to making large portions. Otherwise, if they all came to share a bowl, there wouldn't be enough to eat in the end.
The food seller said, "Brouther Bo and I rushed all the way back. He also didn't eat anything. Give me the rice and I'll bring it to him. "
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and said, "Okay."
The young man scratched his head and said, "Actually … My name is Liang Tiezhu. You can just call me Tiezhu."
Tiezhu held a bowl of rice in one hand and walked to He Songbai's room. He used to be an idle hooligan in the Green Valley Brigade. He owed a lot of debt and his family's situation was worse than the He Clan's.
A few years ago, he was beaten up by a group of hooligans and was almost beaten to death. In the end, He Songbai saved his life. He Songbai seemed to have descended from the sky. With his bare hands, he beat up all the people who bullied Tiezhu to the ground. He beat up the hooligans until they cried and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. Tiezhu's heart was shaken. He was so grateful that he only cared about hugging the other person's leg and crying loudly.
Men's friendship was built through fighting. Whoever's fist was harder was the boss.
The hooligans and hooligans who were beaten to a pulp that day, including this weak chicken, recognized He Songbai as their big brother from then on.
Tiezhu brought the rice to He Songbai's room. He Songbai was changing his clothes. His only decent clothes were already dirty and tattered.
He Songbai had only ridden a bicycle twice. The first time was because of his brother and he rode it as if he was experiencing it. The second time was this morning. With only one poor experience of riding a bicycle, how would he know how to drive this "western bicycle"? However, in front of Zhao Lanxiang, he didn't know how to, so he braced himself and rode it.
Unexpectedly, before they reached the main road, He Songbai fell hard at a small turn. The delicate mung bean cake was tightly protected in his arms and did not get scratched at all. However, a piece of skin was scraped off his whole body, and blood flowed out.
He Songbai was glad that he did not damage the other person's precious bicycle. This kind of flesh wound was nothing to a man. He chewed a handful of smelly grass on the side of the road and applied it to his wound. Then, he rode the western bicycle to the county town.
Tiezhu happily held the rice and shouted, "Brouther Bo, come and eat. There's fat pork. It smells so good!"
He saw that the skin on He Song Bai's leg had been scraped, and was both shocked and ashamed, "What happened here, you even rode all the way back. Are you okay? "
When Tiezhu saw the bloody leg, he admired He Songbai very much. Although he was also selling food at the side, he did not see anything wrong.
He Songbai was bleeding and selling things, and he endured riding a bicycle all the way back. He did not make a sound. He was a man of steel.
However, Tiezhu could not help but sigh and said somewhat angrily, "If I knew, I would have brought you back. You still treat your brother as an outsider!"
Because Tiezhu started trading in the black market early, his family's situation had already doubled. Not only did he become the first person in the village to ride a bicycle, but he also bought his mother another "first turn" of the "three turns, one sound": a sewing machine. His mother now took some sewing jobs in the village, and his elder sister was learning how to tailor clothes. Their family's life was getting better and better. He could not stand He Songbai's ability to return to his original state and ruin his own people.
He Songbai ignored him and continued to apply the smelly grass. Finally, he cut a piece of tattered cloth and wrapped it around his leg.
Smelly grass was a good thing that could cure all kinds of illnesses. Fever could be applied to it, falls and bruises could be applied to it, nosebleeds could be applied to it, constipation could be applied to it, and even if there were roundworms in the stomach, it would still be applied to it. When the spring breeze blew, it would wantonly overflow from the pile of weeds.
He Songbai lifted his eyelids and his gaze fell on the rice that Tiezhu was holding.
He could tell at a glance that the woman at home had asked Tiezhu to bring it over. He Songbai did not like to live off a woman, but he had bled so much for her today. It was not cheap to eat a few mouthfuls of her food.
He Songbai held the chopsticks, put his leg to the side, and ate quietly.
The rice was very fragrant. He knew that the woman had always been very good at cooking. Food that was willing to put oil and salt was always delicious!
Tiezhu ate happily, his mouth full of delicious food. He looked enviously at the braised meat slices lying in He Songbai's bowl of rice. His intuition told him that there was obviously more meat in his bowl of rice than in his.
Tiezhu picked up the meat and ate it all. He was satisfied and carefree.
He winked at He Songbai. "It's delicious. Brouther Bo, do you think … that woman is interested in you?"
Fatty meat was still delicious. Lean meat was not as fragrant as fatty meat.
Liang Tiezhu looked at Brouther Bo's calm expression. He did not even bother to show any disdain on his face. Liang Tiezhu's chest was stuffed.
Liang Tiezhu analyzed. "Look, she is so good to you. She is willing to let you eat such delicious food."
Although Liang Tiezhu was rich, his family could not eat meat whenever they wanted. It was good enough if they could eat some oil in a month. When had Tiezhu ever eaten meat slices covered with rice? When had he ever tasted such delicious braised meat rice? If there was a woman who was so good to him, he would dig out his heart and give it to her. He would be satisfied even if he died.
He Songbai cleaned his bowl and said lightly, "When my granny was rich, she would often give out porridge and spare rice. It's just a few meals. Seeing that people are pitiful, she gave it to them. What's the point? You think too highly of yourself. "
Liang Tiezhu covered his small liver fried rice. He felt that He Songbai was looking down on him. He angrily buried his head and snatched the meat from He Songbai's bowl. He put it in his own bowl and started eating.
"I'm shallow, poor, and gluttonous. All I can see is this meat."
He also quickly finished his bowl of rice. After he finished eating, he still licked the fragrant and salty oil in his bowl, causing He Song Bai to violently beat him up.
… …
After eating lunch, Liang Tiezhu patted his stomach and said goodbye to He Songbai. Although Zhao Lanxiang had packed quite a lot of rice for him, he still felt that he had not had enough and was not satisfied yet.
He smacked his lips. He knew that he could not shamelessly ask for another bowl of rice. He did not ride his bicycle home immediately. Instead, he went to find Zhao Lanxiang.
He asked Zhao Lanxiang warmly, "What are you going to sell next time?"
Zhao Lanxiang said, "I won't know until next week. Right now, the meat and noodles at home are almost used up. I will go to the store in a few days. I will make whatever I can buy."
Zhao Lanxiang deeply felt how scarce resources were in the 1970s. Even if you had money and coupons, you could not eat whatever you wanted. Only people who had lived in this era knew how terrifying the queues were.
She often went to the supply and demand cooperatives and grocery stores to buy whatever she saw left. Every time she went to the county, it was already very good that she did not return empty-handed.
Zhao Lanxiang's answer was exactly what Liang Tiezhu wanted.
He laughed, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Although he did not have a way to get meat, his old profession was selling food!
"I see … What kind of food do you want to buy? If I have it here, I can bring some over for you."
After Zhao Lanxiang heard this, her eyes were full of surprise.
"Really? If that's the case, that's great! "
"Of course, it's convenient for you. Flour, rice, millet, beans, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc. If you have it, I want it …"
