Hard times have room

Chapter 971 Together

"The eggs were bought outside. In the alley near my house, there was someone selling eggs, so I took Baolin to buy some." Xu Rui replied.

This kind of thing is not against the law. Of course, she doesn't need to cover it up. Going to that place to buy eggs is not something that needs to be hidden. It is shameful.

"How much is it? It must be cheaper than the school's eggs, right?" Li Hong asked with great interest.

If it's really cheap, can she buy some? She hasn't eaten eggs since she came to school. After all, eggs in the cafeteria cost five cents a piece, and she can buy two and a half in her hometown. Obviously , Eating eggs at school is not worth it.

"Yeah, don't even think about it, the eggs in the cafeteria cost five cents a piece, how expensive it is!"

"The eggs I bought cost three cents each. They are very fresh. The price is very worthwhile, and there is no egg ticket, so it is even more worthwhile." Xu Rui somehow understood what Chen Hong meant, but she did not refuse.

If Li Hong wants to go shopping with them next time, it's not impossible. Anyway, she doesn't want to pay, so she will just lead the way.

In other words, if she took Li Hong to buy eggs, would the relationship between the two be closer?She is still thinking about joining the party!

Li Hong is a member of the school committee. If she helps to say a few good words, will her chances of joining the party be much higher?
"It's not bad, it's very fresh. Next time you go shopping, can you call me? I'll go with you." Of course Li Hong would not let go of cheap eggs to buy.

"I still have me." Qiu Yu directly raised her hand, signaling that she would also go with her.

She and Li Hong are basically inseparable. Li Hong thinks the eggs in the cafeteria are expensive, and she is the same. Although the three-cent egg is a bit expensive, it is cheaper than the cafeteria, and there is no ticket. Well, it’s still a good deal.

"Okay, it's a matter of multiple people. There are a lot of people selling eggs in that place. It's okay to go together. Everyone can buy them. I'll call you when the time comes!" Xu Rui agreed together.

One sheep is herding, two sheep are also herding, and one dormitory, so it is not good to refuse favoritism.

"Okay, that's it. I'll wait to buy eggs with you." Li Hong made a final decision and settled the matter.

She didn't ask when to go, because there is no certainty about it. Now that Wang Baolin and Xu Rui have bought eggs, it is not certain when they will finish eating!

Why should she ask Xu Rui to set a time now, it feels like she is forcing others to work.

After this matter was settled, Xu Rui was also happy, because it meant that her relationship with Li Hong was closer.

Of course, there is still business to do, and that is to eat lunch, that is, the two eggs: "Pauline, are our eggs cooked?"

"It should be almost there, why don't you try to get one out first?" Pauline said, taking away the notebook that was pressing the pot.

"Try it, eat one first." Xu Rui took out a pair of chopsticks from the bed, aimed at the eggs in the pot, and picked them up.

I don't know if it's because the technique is not good enough or because she just has the back of her hand. She tried more than a dozen times, but found nothing. Several times, she saw that she was about to pick it up. Finally, she fell back again, and a lot of water splashed out on the ground.

That is to say, there is a lot of water in the iron pot. If you drop the egg more than a dozen times in another place, the eggshell should be broken, but if you drop it in the water more than a dozen times, the eggshell It still looks quite intact.

"Oh, can you do it? Why don't you get out of my way." Li Hong looked anxious, and said unceremoniously.

She herself has a fiery temper, and at this moment, seeing Xu Rui whining over and over again in front of her, she couldn't help it.

"No, I'll be fine right away."

"And I think I can't pick up the egg because the egg is too slippery due to water. There is absolutely no other reason."

Xu Rui's serious words successfully made other people in the dormitory laugh.

After two more attempts, she really succeeded. The egg was very hot in her hands. She casually and quickly wiped the egg on her clothes, and then put the egg on her bed.

The action of peeling the shell is not very decompressing. I don’t know if it’s because the egg hasn’t been put in cold water again. She peeled this good egg with bumps and holes. It looks like it’s shabby.

Xu Rui didn't dislike it. She even ate the egg whites that were stuck on the egg shells very carefully, and kept the egg shells in a small box full of egg shells. Take the box with the eggshell back, grind it, and mix it with chicken chaff for the chickens at home. Chickens that have eaten the eggshell will lay eggs more diligently.

Her family lived in a tile-roofed house with a small yard where some vegetables were grown and five chickens were raised.

The eggs are already cooked, but not fully cooked. The innermost egg yolk is still a little bit runny, and it tastes very delicious.

"It's delicious, Pauline, it's ready to eat. This egg tastes so delicious!" Xu Rui said excitedly, biting off half of the egg yolk.

Later on, she would not be willing to eat it so eagerly. The eggs are so delicious, so of course she has to save them and savor them slowly.

"Then I want to eat it too. The eggs look delicious now." Pauline took the chopsticks and scooped up the eggs.

Her movements became much smoother, and she picked up an egg in two or three strokes, and it didn't take long for all three eggs to come out.

I left one big one for Xu Rui, and after drying the remaining two Paulines, I rolled the eggs on Xu Rui's bed until the complete egg shells were broken into pieces before peeling off the shells.

Although the eggs she peeled out looked better than Xu Rui's, they were not much better. One piece was missing in the east and the other was missing in the west, which looked very shabby.

As for the eggshells, they were put together in Xu Rui's small box. If she was at home, she might choose to grind them up and feed them to the bamboo rats. Forget it at school!

As the fire on the coal stove was fully ablaze, and this fire could not be wasted outside, Pauline's pot was refilled with clean snow and set on fire on the stove.

The hot water used to cook the eggs before was not wasted, so it would be nice to save it for washing hands!Wait for the water to cool before pouring it out.

In this winter, every opportunity to wash is rare, so cherish it.

When the hot water boiled, the four of them filled some hot water with their own food and drank it contentedly. Bao Lin and Chen Hong used lunch boxes, while Qiu Yu and Xu Rui used bowls.

From the beginning to the end, they didn't add coal to the stove. After the hot water was boiled, the coal stove was lowered quickly, and it didn't take long before it went out.
