She looked at the gaze that Zhao Zhiqing cast at her,
For the first time, she was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain. However, the satisfaction that the food brought her,
It gave her the urge to die with no regrets.
Zhao Lanxiang looked at Sister He's empty bowl with a smile,
She was extremely satisfied.
From a certain point of view, the eldest sister of the He family and the old man were both her benefactors,
After Jiang Jianjun broke her body and mind,
She decisively proposed a divorce and exposed the scandal of his marital infidelity to his superiors. A divorce was tantamount to a scandal for Jiang Jianjun's booming career. How could he let her off so easily?
At that time, Zhao Lanxiang was like a stray dog, living in fear all day long,
In the end, it was the He family's siblings who helped her out,
They taught the scumbag a lesson.
Zhao Lanxiang pursed her lips,
She said with a smile, "Granny hasn't eaten yet. Big sister, quickly scoop a bowl and bring it to her to eat."
As she said that,
She pushed the bowl of rice in front of her forward. The meat in the rice bowl was carefully selected by Zhao Lanxiang. She specially stewed them in the pot for a while. They were stewed until they were soft and mushy. They had a soft and smooth feeling that they would break with a single bite. It was suitable for old people with bad teeth to eat.
Sister He nodded gratefully, picked up the bowl, and walked into the inner room. She had really been mesmerized by that meal to the point that she had lost her mind.
She even forgot that her grandmother hadn't had dinner yet. Zhao Zhiqing's cooking was really strange.
It made people infatuated!
..
The next day..,
Zhao Lanxiang packed the cold duck meat in a jar early in the morning,
She sealed it tightly and put it in her schoolbag.
Today was the weekend,
She also saved herself the trouble of asking Li Dali for leave. It was also the first day of the month, a once-in-a-lifetime good day. There would be a lot more people in Qinghe County than usual. If Zhao Lanxiang didn't go to the county to do business, he would feel sorry for his delicious meat.
After Zhao Lanxiang finished packing, he went to the brigade leader's house first. Li Dali opened the door and saw Comrade Zhao. He felt a headache coming on. He frowned and asked, "Are you here to take leave again?"
Zhao Lanxiang shook his head. "Today is the weekend. I'm here to see Tang Qing."
She planned to borrow a bicycle from Tang Qing. Tang Qing was the only person in the village who owned a bicycle. As the man who owned the first type 28 bike in the village, every time he rode the bike through the main road, he always received a bunch of envious eyes.
After Zhao Lanxiang explained the purpose of her visit to Tang Qing, Tang Qing nodded and readily lent her the bicycle.
Although Tang Qing wasn't from the same town as her, he was from the neighboring city.
He was a boy who was good at singing and dancing. When a group of educated youths were playing poker, smoking, or chatting on the train, he played a song on the harmonica. He even took the initiative to organize the unfamiliar educated youths to perform their stunts and get along well with them.
"Your noodles are really delicious. I didn't have time to thank you last time," Tang Qing said.
Zhao Lanxiang pedaled the type 28 bike and waved at him. "I'll treat you to a meal if I have the chance in the future."
Tang Qing agreed and said, "The bike is very high. It's a bit inconvenient for you girls to ride it. Remember to pedal slowly when you're on the mountain roads."
Zhao Lanxiang was in a hurry to go to the county to sell meat. She waved at Tang Qing and pedaled more than ten meters away.
When Zhao Lanxiang arrived at the street of the black market, the favorable spots had already been occupied. The so-called favorable spots were conspicuous, eye-catching, and where the police would be able to run as fast as they could once they heard the news. She was young and new, so she could only obediently walk inside.
She found a remote place to stop and shook out a clean cloth from her bag and placed it on the ground. The person who was selling food next to her winked at her. Perhaps because he didn't want people to see his appearance, he wore a hat with a long brim that almost covered his eyes.
"You're new, right? I'm telling you, if you want to sell here, you have to sell until it's dark!"
"Anyway, I have to sell something. If you're willing to give me fifty cents, you can leave the thing here with me. I can help you sell it while I'm at it. By the way … what are you selling? "
Zhao Lanxiang unhurriedly took out a ceramic jar and slowly opened the lid.
The cold duck meat was no longer as fragrant as it had been when it was first made, but one could still smell it when they got close to it. Because it was a pickled and braised food, it didn't look good. It was just a lump of sauce.
The young man who was selling food glanced at it and then looked away. He curled his lips and said, "Why are they all bones? How much do you plan to sell them for per catty? Do you want meat coupons? "
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Of course, I want two catties of meat coupons."
The young man was shocked. "You're delusional. I don't even dare to help you sell them. Change the price!"
"Although it's a black market, you can't cheat us like this. If you ruin our reputation, Fourth Uncle won't forgive you in the future. "
When Zhao Lanxiang heard that "Fourth Uncle" stopped talking, she quietly took out a clean bowl and several pairs of chopsticks.
After preparing for a while, she took out a stack of notes from her pocket and silently handed them to the people on the street. Actually, she wasn't just shooting off in the dark. She would only take out the note and show it to people who were dressed decently.
"Delicious duck meat. It's cooked with an exclusive secret recipe. It's spicy and refreshing, mellow but not greasy. It'll leave a rich aftertaste in your mouth."
She blinked and changed to another note.
"It's free if it's not good. You can try it for free."
The young man looked away. He had an expression on his face that said, "If you don't listen to your elders, you'll suffer."
After a round of "promotion", no one showed any interest. Zhao Lanxiang didn't care at all.
The girl who was selling food had a piece of grass in her mouth. She sat with her back against the wall. She slightly raised the corner of her mouth, as if she was waiting for a good show.
She gathered her confidence and continued to promote. At this time, she directly went up and grabbed a person who walked past her. She immediately wrote a sentence on a piece of white paper and handed it to the passerby.
"Made with an exclusive secret recipe. You can try it. It's guaranteed to be delicious. If it's not good, it's free! "
The passerby instinctively didn't believe the girl's "advertising message". It was too exaggerated! How could something as precious as meat not cost money?
What if it ate someone and you had to pay for it? How would that be calculated? Therefore, when everyone saw the girl's words, they didn't stop walking. Instead, they walked faster.
Zhao Lanxiang enthusiastically took out a pair of chopsticks and a bowl. She picked up a piece of duck meat and placed it in front of the customer. Under her repeated assurances that she wouldn't cheat people, the person put the first piece of duck meat into his mouth, half-believing and half-doubting.
In an instant — —
A fresh and spicy feeling stimulated his tongue. That kind of stimulating feeling was like a gorgeous firework exploding in his mind. It was numb and spicy, so numb that it made the corners of his eyes wet. A mellow and rich taste flowed on his taste buds, making him unable to stop eating. The more he chewed, the more fragrant it became. Even the bones had that kind of fragrance.
This person quickly finished the piece of duck meat. He even chewed the bones clean. The seductive fragrance in the bone marrow was even more delicious than the meat! He had never eaten meat that tasted so good before!
He lowered his voice and followed Zhao Lanxiang into a corner. He couldn't wait to ask, "Is there any more?"
Zhao Lanxiang nodded and whispered, "Yes, fifteen cents for one tael. It's a meat ticket with two taels of meat."
Although this price was a bit painful, it wasn't unacceptable. The customer bought two taels of duck meat and one tael of duck neck in one go. He happily gnawed on it while shopping.
The first person who dared to eat the crab was there. Gradually, the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth people came to Zhao Lanxiang's stall. Every customer who tasted the food would take out their wallet and buy a bit. The last customer simply bought the rest of the duck food.
They were amazed. They lowered their voices and couldn't suppress their excitement. "It's too delicious, too delicious!"
"Little girl, your cooking skills are really amazing. How did you make it? My wife can't even make it as good as your fingernail."
"Are you still going to set up your stall tomorrow? I didn't bring enough money today."
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and responded to them one by one. "No, I'll only set up my stall three times a month. The time is not fixed yet, so don't get your hopes up. Also, in the future, other than meat tickets, I'll also accept cloth tickets, industrial tickets, fish tickets, sugar tickets, soap tickets, and so on. As long as the value is about the same, it's fine. "
After she finished speaking, she neatly folded her simple stall cloth and put it in her bag. Then, she quietly left the black market.
The person selling food couldn't sit still anymore. He straightened his back.
Oh, she didn't even want to earn money. It was rare to see a profiteer with such a personality these days.
He Sanya was lying on the bed with his grandmother. She licked her lips happily and contentedly.
"Granny, have you eaten meat?"
The old woman held her granddaughter in her arms and patted her back with her withered hand. "Yes, I've eaten."
The soft and tender pork trotter was so delicious that it reminded the old woman of the time before the He family declined. At that time, there were many servants and maids at home. There was an endless supply of delicious food and meat, as well as silk and satin … Accompanied by these beautiful memories, the old woman sank into a sweet dream.
…
Zhao Lanxiang was sent to fertilize the corn field early in the morning. She carried the ashes from the stove and waited for the members to dig a small hole before shoveling the ashes into it.
At this time, the corn had already sprouted buds that were as tall as a person. Zhao Lanxiang wasn't afraid of being dirty or tired. What she was most afraid of were the furry worms hidden under the corn leaves. She turned around every three steps and could see the worms wriggling in her field of vision. This kind of sour feeling was more torturous than having blood blisters on her hands and feet.
At this time, she took out a caterpillar from her sleeve. She didn't know when it had crawled over, but she shivered all over.
"Sister Zhao!"
He Sanya wriggled over from among the green corn stalks. She held two sticks and swiftly put the worm in Zhao Lanxiang's hand into her bamboo tube.
Zhao Lanxiang wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. "Why are you here?"
She touched He Sanya's sweaty head. The little girl obediently handed over the bamboo tube in her hand. There was a bunch of worms wriggling in the big bamboo tube.
Zhao Lanxiang looked over and goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"I'm here to catch worms to feed the chickens." He Sanya said softly, her eyes clear and bright.
She lifted the lid and looked at the worms in the tube. She would be able to catch enough worms for today after a while.
Zhao Lanxiang knew that He Sanya was the one who fed all the chickens at home. She was even more impressed with her.
He Sanya had started feeding the chickens that Sister He brought back from town when they were still fluffy little balls. She loved these chickens very much. Every day, she would run to the chicken coop and take turns holding them. Every chicken's feathers were shiny from being fed worms by her.
Sister He would pick up two or three eggs every day. They were round and plump. She would crack one every few days to make a bowl of egg custard for her grandmother. She would save the rest of the eggs. Once she had saved enough eggs, she would let her brother sell them to the supply and demand cooperative for money.
To this poor family, the hens were no different from a gold mine. The money they could get from the eggs was a very important source of income. If it wasn't for the community's rule that each family could only raise three chickens at most, the three hardworking siblings would have raised ten to twenty chickens at one go.
He Sanya licked her lips and said, "Brother is going to town to get some money for the eggs today."
Zhao Lanxiang said, "Is that so? Well, I'm going to town to do something anyway. "
She finished her morning chores and decisively asked for a leave of absence. Captain Li Dali turned a blind eye and gave Zhao Lanxiang's job to Zhou Jiazhen. After all, if he didn't work, he wouldn't get paid.
Zhao Lanxiang didn't know if she would be able to meet He Songbai. However, when she returned to the He family, Sister He told her that he had already left.
Zhao Lanxiang took out a large note from her bag and took a basket out. This time, she didn't ask Zhou Jiazhen to go to town because she had something important to do.
