Chapter 10: Dirty thoughts
Zhang Ming nodded and said, "Mr. Xie, what would you like to eat today?"
The man did not speak, the beads in his hand kept turning, and he stepped on the steps steadily.
The big man beside him said: "Mr. Xie still wants to eat mandarin fish."
Zhang Ming was worried, and this was what he was most afraid of, but he still couldn\'t escape.
Yesterday, I also blamed him, and just sent Mr. Xie to his yard. When he got the news that Xie Haoyun would not leave Yu County in the near future, the fish Liang Xiaonan sent had already been ordered by other guests.
He thought that for a person like Xie Haoyun, coming to the Yuxian Restaurant once was considered a big face, why would he come a second time?
But he just came again, and he wanted to eat mandarin fish.
Who knows when that country girl will catch a fish next time!
Zhang Ming was sweating profusely.
Seeing that he was silent, Xie Haoyun stopped walking up the steps and asked, "Are there any difficulties?"
The voice didn\'t sound too emotional, not as scary as in the legend, but it was naturally coercive.
Zhang Ming stammered, "No, it\'s not difficult."
Xie Haoyun nodded and continued to walk in slowly. Zhang Ming accompanied Xie Haoyun to the best private room while ordering good tea.
Quietly told the lobby manager: "As soon as that country girl who sells fish arrives yesterday, you will notify me immediately."
The lobby manager heard what he said, raised his eyes, and said excitedly: "Manager Zhang, is that the girl you\'re talking about? She\'s here."
Seeing Liang Xiaonan and Liang Xiaobei walking towards the restaurant with their backpacks on their backs, talking and laughing, Zhang Ming was so excited that he almost rushed out and bowed down.
"Xiaoliang, you\'re finally here," Zhang Ming immediately straightened his back, and he asked with a smile on his face, "Did you bring the fish?"
Liang Xiaonan knew something was wrong when Zhang Mingying came out.
She smiled and said, "I told you that the fish are wild. I just came home last night. I can\'t catch fish in the wild cold pond in the middle of the night."
When Zhang Ming heard that there were no fish, he was a little discouraged: "Then what are you doing here today?"
"I have some peaches here. I can assure you that you have never eaten such delicious peaches." She put down the basket and showed it to Zhang Ming. The peaches were really good and fragrant, but Zhang Ming wanted fish right now. .
Because Mr. Xie wants to eat mandarin fish.
"Peaches are rare now, but customers come to the store to eat, not to eat fruit. Xiao Liang, you go back to catch fish right now, and you can ask how much you want."
It seems that Zhang Ming has run into trouble.
Liang Xiaonan said straightforwardly: "Since you need it so urgently, I left a few for others, so I\'ll give it to you first. Can you lend me a bicycle?"
Of course Zhang Ming agreed, and immediately pushed out the 28 bars used for purchasing in the store, and a plastic bag for vegetables and fish was hung on each side of the rear of the car.
"Can you ride a bike?"
"Can ride."
"Then you bring it back as soon as possible."
Liang Xiaonan said to Liang Xiaobei: "Xiaobei, you are waiting for me here. I will go home and I will be back soon. Don\'t worry."
Of course she won\'t go back to Dakeng Village, but she won\'t go back to the hotel so soon either. She rode a bicycle around Yuxian County for a long time.
It’s not like on the earth in the 1960s and 1970s, when you bought everything, you had to buy tickets or meat tickets. You can do business here, and you can buy whatever you want if you have money.
However, the economy of Porcelain Country is backward, and the material itself is very scarce.
She looked at the place where the fish was sold. They were basically carp and crucian carp, and there were no other species. Moreover, the fish were not big, and very few weighed half a catty.
Vegetables are only some beans, garlic moss, eggplant, pepper, tomato, and other varieties are rare.
She went to the rice store again. The rice was very rough, but the price was not low, even 50 cents a catty; the best quality "Xiaozhan rice" was priced at 80 cents.
In the previous life, I heard the old people say that the 1960s was the decade with the most price changes. From the early days, a catty of rice could be sold for 20 or 30 yuan per catty (you can’t buy grain at this price), and later it was 1. 2 cents a catty, anyway, the price fluctuates greatly.
Now she understands a little bit that this blue star is most likely the twin brother of the earth. Except for some differences in some details, everything is similar, such as the price.
Rice as a staple food is so expensive, no wonder everyone wants to do nothing but grow food.
In the fruit market, there are only apples and pears, and they are soft apples, which have a bad taste and are not sweet enough. They are cheap, 20 cents a catty.
The backwardness of the county is unimaginable, and the countryside in her previous life was much richer and more prosperous than this.
Walking around a few times, she unexpectedly saw a seller of mulberries, not the purple ones, but milky white ones.
She walked over to have a look, and the old man who sold mulberries was dry in the sun. When he saw that the business came, he immediately recommended it to her: "My mulberries are very sweet. If you don\'t believe me, you can try one."
Liang Xiaonan took one and spit it out so sour: "Master, is this mulberry not ripe yet?"
The old man said distressedly: "You girl, why did you spit it out, what a delicious mulberry, how could it not be sweet? I tasted it, it was very sweet."
Liang Xiaonan suddenly thought that this mulberry is not necessarily bad, this is not the era she lived in, and it is considered good that mulberries have this taste.
"Master, weigh me two catties!"
The old man was so happy that his beard straightened: "15 cents a catty, I\'ll weigh it for you."
The beam of the scale was lifted high, and the old man showed her the stars on the scale: "Look, I didn\'t cheat you, did I?"
"What if I don\'t have the bag?"
The old man took a small basket made of sorghum stalks from behind, and put two catties of mulberries in it for her. Liang Xiaonan gave him 35 cents and said, "Grandpa, your basket counts as 5 cents."
The old man was so happy that his face was full of chrysanthemums, and he said: "You are so kind and righteous. You look so handsome. You will definitely find a good wife in the future."
5 cents, it has risen to the fate of the second half of life.
There is no surveillance in the entire county, so she found an empty corner not far from the Yuxian Hotel, transferred the mulberry to the space, and caught fish by the way.
Fish did not continue to grow up. It is probably the same as humans. No matter how good the nutrition is, when they are adults, their size will be fixed.
She filled two vegetable bags with 10 large grass carp and 2 mandarin fish from Hulala in the space, and filled both bags to the brim.
The two-eight-bar bicycle has a large frame and a high body. She has not ridden a bicycle for many years, and it carries a load of more than 100 kilograms. If she is not very strong now, she would not be able to control this bicycle.
Rushing to the restaurant, Zhang Ming asked the workers to quickly unload the fish, and at the same time brought a brand new floral dress to Liang Xiaonan.
"Xiao Liang, do you think this new dress is beautiful?"
Liang Xiaonan nodded. The skirt with green background and white flowers is the most fashionable style nowadays, and it is probably not cheap.
"We have a distinguished guest here, Xiao Liang, go wash your face, comb your hair, and change into a skirt to meet him. The skirt will belong to you."
"Does he want peaches or fish?"
"Haha, he is a big shot. With a single cough, our Yuxian County will be turned upside down. No matter how many people want to see him, they will never see him. You are so pure and beautiful. If you fall into his eyes, you will embrace him wherever you go, and you will be popular." What kind of fish are you selling if you drink spicy food!"
This Xiaoliang girl has big almond eyes and watery eyes, she is delicate and gentle, she looks like a "stupid beauty" at first glance, this kind of country girl can be obtained with a little coaxing.
