After Zhao Lanxiang sold all the meat, she rode her bicycle and soon disappeared from Qinghe County. She rode at a fast pace until she reached a deserted mountain road before stopping to take a breather. She also counted the banknotes in her pocket.
There was a thick stack of banknotes. The banknotes were divided into cents, and the meat banknotes were scattered and thin. Excluding the duck meat that was given to the customers for free, she sold a total of fourteen dollars, forty-seven cents, and five cents.
After deducting the cost of buying the duck meat, it was six dollars.
The cost of spices made a net profit of more than six dollars.
She also earned nine catties and six taels of meat banknotes for free.
Zhao Lanxiang felt as if she had drunk cold and sweet sprite.
Her heart was filled with joy.
However, she had not reached the point of being overjoyed.
The image of the young man who sold grain at the stall next to her surfaced in her mind.
Although he was sloppy,
However, she was very careful in her dressing. If she wanted to continue this illegal business of buying and selling, she had to be more low-key and cautious.
Zhao Lanxiang habitually took a detour around the remote mountain road from the county to the town. After she sold her things, she did not dare to stay in the county.
When she arrived in town, she dared to use the notes to buy a catty of pork tripe, a catty of sugar, and five catties of fuqiang powder.
After she finished shopping, she returned to Hezi Tun under the scorching noon sun.
When she returned to Hezi Tun, Zhao Lanxiang first returned the bicycle and invited Tang Qing to her house for noodles. When she went to look for Tang Qing,
He was playing the violin in his room.
In addition, Zhao Lanxiang also unexpectedly bumped into Jiang Li at the brigade leader's house.
When Jiang Li saw Zhao Lanxiang,
She let out a deep snort from the depths of her nose.
"What are you doing here?"
In Jiang Li's eyes,
The image of Zhao Lanxiang as that clingy brother of hers had been deeply ingrained in her mind.
She was also used to Zhao Lanxiang's petty attempts to please her. When Zhao Lanxiang became a little cold, Jiang Li, who was more sensitive than anyone else, immediately felt uncomfortable. Especially when her life was so miserable, while Zhao Lanxiang's life was incomparably comfortable.
She would only be scolded by Li Dali if she asked for leave every other day. However, when it was Zhao Lanxiang's turn, it became a natural thing. Li Dali never found fault with her and treated her kindly. How could this make Jiang Li happy?
Jiang Li said angrily, "My brother wrote me a letter. Do you want to read it?"
Jiang Li happened to come back from the village post office to pick up a letter. She took out a white letter from her pouch and waved it in front of Zhao Lanxiang.
Jiang Li knew what her brother wrote to Zhao Lanxiang. After Zhao Lanxiang read her brother's letter, wouldn't she unite with her from now on?
Jiang Li was really angry when she didn't get to eat Zhao Lanxiang's meat buns last time. She wrote to her brother that she and Zhao Lanxiang were assigned to Hezitun together. At the end, she wrote a bunch of bad things about Zhao Lanxiang with embellishment.
As her brother, Jiang Jianjun was very surprised when he received this letter, but he immediately understood.
Zhao Lanxiang might be taking a roundabout route. She finally became smarter and knew to bypass him to please his sister directly.
Jiang Li was the darling of the whole family. Jiang Jianjun's uncles gave birth to six boys in one go. It wasn't until four years after his mother gave birth to him that she finally gave birth to a girl. The Jiang Family did their best to dote on their only child.
Jiang Jianjun knew in his heart that it wasn't easy to please his sister.
Zhao Lanxiang's eyes fell on the letter. She said with disinterest, "Oh."
She didn't need to read to know that Jiang Jianjun's letter must be full of requests to take good care of Jiang Li. Jiang Li had never suffered since she was young. If possible, she should help her more. Jiang Li was simple and impulsive. She could be easily deceived. She should keep an eye on her.
Of course … she wasn't Jiang Jianjun's wife yet. Jiang Jianjun's tone when he made these requests must be more subtle and tactful.
Zhao Lanxiang had no desire to read this kind of disgusting letter.
She said with a smile, "Oh … really? It's not convenient for an outsider like me to read your letter. I have something else to do … I won't disturb you. "
As she spoke, she walked to Tang Qing's room, knocked on his door, and shouted a few times.
Soon, the violin in the room stopped abruptly. He opened the door and saw Zhao Lanxiang. There was a touch of relaxation and joy on his young face. "Finished?"
Zhao Lanxiang nodded and said straightforwardly and generously, "I went to town to buy some noodles. There's no time like the present. Let me treat you to a meal."
She went to the county at least three times a month to do some bad things. It was definitely not safe to take a car. Wouldn't it be tiring to walk on the mountain road alone? The only way was to borrow Tang Qing's bicycle. In this way, she had to build a good relationship with Tang Qing. If there was a back and forth relationship, Zhao Lanxiang wouldn't be so embarrassed to borrow a bicycle.
Tang Qing didn't refuse. He was very happy to hear that there was food. "Then I must thank you, Comrade Zhao! I'll change my clothes first. Please wait for a moment. "
He was wearing the white undershirt that he usually wore in the living room. His two arms were exposed to keep cool. He was invited to eat noodles by a female comrade. Of course, he had to wear something formal.
Zhao Lanxiang waited patiently at the door. Her eyes moved from the wooden door to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li's pretty face was flushed with anger at this moment. She looked at Zhao Lanxiang with vigilance. "What are you doing here?"
Zhao Lanxiang was stung by her gaze. She suddenly thought of something. Jiang Li didn't necessarily come to the leader's house to look for him. She probably came to look for Tang Qing.
Combined with the strong hostility in Jiang Li's eyes, Zhao Lanxiang's guess was undoubtedly one hundred percent correct.
Tang Qing had a good temperament and was popular with people. His parents were high-level intellectuals who were professors at the Central Academy of Fine Arts. He was neat and handsome. In addition, he was friendly and helpful. Many girls secretly admired him.
For a moment, Zhao Lanxiang's brows furrowed slightly.
Jiang Li's attitude also reminded her that she should keep a certain distance from Tang Qing. It was not appropriate to invite him to eat at her house alone.
So she said to Jiang Li, "I bought some noodles and invited Comrade Tang to eat noodles as a thank you. Do you want to join us?"
Jiang Li was happy. She immediately said the steamed buns that she had been thinking about. "I want to eat steamed buns."
Zhao Lanxiang politely refused. "It's too late to make steamed buns now. Let's eat noodles."
After she said that, the door of Tang Qing's room opened. He had changed into a dark blue shirt, which was loose and neat. Perhaps he was afraid that the female comrade would wait for him, so he carelessly wiped his face and came out with water droplets on the ends of his hair.
Tang Qing said, "Noodles are good. Comrade Zhao's noodles are delicious."
Jiang Li couldn't say anything more after Tang Qing said that. She felt shy and sweet. She didn't dare to look directly at Tang Qing. She lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Really? Then let's eat noodles. "
She probably hadn't even seen such a young girl before, right?
Zhao Lanxiang clenched her hands into fists and covered the corners of her mouth that she couldn't help laughing.
She walked in front with a huge schoolbag on her back and led the two to the He family's house. Jiang Li was very satisfied that Zhao Lanxiang avoided her tactfully, although she was too shy to speak when she walked beside Tang Qing.
As for Tang Qing... his mind was now full of that bowl of delicately made, fragrant noodles.
When Zhao Lanxiang returned to the He family's house, she found that Sister He wasn't at home.
Sister He was assigned the job of raising a large group of cows. The cows needed to be taken care of every day. At this time, Sister He should be in the cowshed cutting grass for the cows. Zhao Lanxiang looked around and found that He Songbai was chopping firewood in the yard. She put down her schoolbag and carried the noodles, meat, and candies she bought into the woodshed.
She casually glanced around and saw that the ashes in the stove were completely cold. She knew that He Songbai didn't have lunch. She took out Fuqiang powder, cracked an egg into the noodles, and added water to the noodles. The noodles with egg were more bouncy. Thirty minutes later, she took out the dough and used the rolling pin to roll it over and over again, kneading and throwing it. She rolled the noodles over and over again. The white noodles were unbelievably obedient under her hands. They were soft and tough.
She fried the spicy pork belly with lard and added some cornstarch to fry it until it was crispy. Finally, she poured the pork belly into the cooked noodles. With a sizzling sound, the hot oil fell into the clear soup. It was so fragrant that it was tempting.
She scooped out four bowls of noodles, one for each person. Zhao Lanxiang knew that He Songbai probably didn't like to eat at the same table as strangers. She first took a bowl of noodles to his room, then went to her room and called Tang Qing and Jiang Li out to eat noodles.
Tang Qing and Jiang Li happily went to the woodshed to eat noodles, but Zhao Lanxiang walked to He Songbai.
The man was sweating profusely under the scorching sun. He chopped the thick firewood into thin firewood. This batch of firewood was thinner than the previous ones.
Zhao Lanxiang's heart was suddenly filled with sweetness when she saw it.
Zhao Lanxiang had an unavoidable worry recently. She was not used to cooking with the firewood stove in the countryside.
Because she needed to pay attention to the control of the fire when cooking. When the dishes were almost done, she had to reduce the fire to a small one. In the past, she only needed to turn the switch of the gas stove to reduce the fire. Now, she had to take out the unburned firewood in the stove, which made the woodshed dirty and smelly. He Songbai chopped the firewood into smaller pieces. Of course, it was more convenient. She just needed to control the amount of firewood. When the fire was big, she would put more firewood. When the fire was small, she would put less firewood.
She said with a smile, "I made a bowl of noodles and brought it to your room."
However, looking at Zhou Jiazhen's regretful face, Zhao Lanxiang couldn't help but comfort him. "It's okay. I don't care."
She really didn't envy the workers, peasants, and soldiers college students. She had never thought of running for this place.
Zhao Lanxiang knew that the college entrance examination was restored in 1977. From then on, she no longer needed a recommendation to go to college. She could also go to college through her own efforts.
Although there were many outstanding people among the workers, peasants, and soldiers college students. They were all students who had finished college. However, because the phenomenon of getting in through the back door became more and more, the quality of the students recommended and selected was uneven. As a result, the qualifications of the workers, peasants, and soldiers college students were not recognized. One was recommended to go to college, and the other was admitted to college by their own strength. It was needless to say which one was more convincing.
The "workers, peasants, and soldiers college student" was in high demand. But for Zhao Lanxiang, it was not so tempting. However, at present, it was a very bright road to jump out of the rural household registration and eat commodity food. In order to get such a place, the price ordinary people paid was so heavy that it was simply unimaginable.
