Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 254 Leave
Huo Lang stopped talking, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart: "What a delicate girl."

When they went to the battlefield before, if anyone had a dagger, it was not just a dagger. The upper part could dig the soil, the lower part could cut off the carrion on the wound, dig some wild vegetables or catch a mouse by luck, it could even serve as a knife. Kitchen knife to make...

Huo Lang was emotional for a while, then shook his head again after a while, thinking that after all, now is different from previous years.

Girls and boys have different ideas, and it's normal to be particular.

"All bought, ready to go back?"

"Ok!"

"It looks like it's almost lunch time, do you want to go back after eating?"

Si Ningning originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about the deal yesterday to buy breakfast for Huo Lang, Huo Lang probably didn't eat it after all the trouble today.

So he changed his tone and said: "Okay, then go back after eating first. You have been busy with me for several days these days, and I am grateful to invite you for this meal!"

Huo Lang's thin lips opened and closed, obviously he had something to say, but Si Ningning didn't give him this chance, and blocked Huo Lang's words with one sentence: "But I just bought paper... I don't have much money in my hand, just If I can treat you to something more ordinary, don’t be disgusted!”

Will Si Ningning be short of money?
That must not be.

It’s just that the “expenditure” in the past two days has been too high. I spent a few yuan on the paper just now, and I brought out watermelon and apples earlier. In the eyes of outsiders, it is a sign of spending a lot of money.

It's not that Si Ningning can't afford to spend a few dollars to treat Huo Lang to dinner, but he's just afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of others...

So it's better to be cautious, keep everything simple first, and fill it up from other places later.

This era doesn't pay much attention to the AA system between men and women. When they go out together, they eat their own food and pay their own money, but friends, colleagues, and girls they like are different after all. Huo Lang never thought of asking Si Ningning to spend money to treat him to dinner.

But Si Ningning's words have already reached this point, if he doesn't want to, wouldn't it be the reason why he dislikes Si Ningning's invitation to him to eat "ordinary" meals?

Huo Lang nodded slightly and sighed, thinking to himself: "Cunning girl, I've said all the good and the bad, how can he have a choice?"
"Okay, but I'm not too hungry, just eat whatever you want."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I will never support you!" Si Ningning blinked playfully, and jumped into the car first.

When Huo Lang got into the car, Si Ningning leaned forward slightly, pointed forward and gave orders: "Comrade Shan, please excuse me, let's go to the state-run hotel!"

"Okay, Si Zhiqing, you sit down, let's go!"

Before arriving at the state-run restaurant, Si Ningning still struggled with how to arrange Dan Mantang. It's not good to bring them over to treat them to dinner together, and it's not appropriate to leave people aside.

She was struggling, the car had already parked in front of the State-run Hotel, Shan Mantang turned around and said with a smile: "Comrade Huo Lang, Si Zhiqing, you go in and eat, I parked the car in the alley over there, there is shade over there , you go out there and look for me."

Si Ningning's lips twitched, and just as he was about to speak, Huo Lang asked first, "Has your old lady prepared lunch for you? If not, let's go in and eat together."

Shan Mantang quickly waved his hand, "I brought it, I brought it! I brought four of the steamed sweet potatoes my mother gave me, haha, enough to eat!"

Huo Lang nodded, and glanced at Si Ningning, with the meaning of "I'm sure you're at ease now?".

Si Ningning bulged her cheeks in embarrassment, and said to Shan Mantang, "We'll come to see you after dinner later", and then began to urge Huo Lang to get out of the car quickly, so as not to waste time.

Huo Lang teased, pursed his lips, and quickly pushed open the door to get out of the car. After Si Ningning also got out of the car, he closed the door with a "slap" with his backhand.

Entering the state-run restaurant, Si Ningning drove Huo Lang to the second floor to take up a seat, while she started ordering food at the counter on the first floor, "I want a dish of cold cucumber, and I want a dish of bean sprouts and minced meat soup, um...you here Is there any vegetarian dish that tastes more authentic?"

It was the same gay guy who was in charge of ordering food at the counter in the restaurant. Si Ningning always came over to buy food these two days. My master, there is a high probability that he will become a repeat customer of the restaurant, so he introduced it politely and seriously:
"Hello, comrade, do you eat northern food? If you want to eat it, our restaurant's three delicacies are good. Eight cents is one cent. The portions of oil and vegetables are honest. You can eat for one cent. You want to eat it again next time." .”

Si Ningning has eaten the three delicacies of the ground, so he probably knows a little bit about it. In addition, the noodles and dishes recommended by the "brother" in the past two times are all good in taste and honest in quantity. Si Ningning expected that the other party would not He told a lie, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I want another portion of ground delicacies! By the way, I also want two bowls of rice! No... three bowls of rice!"

Huo Lang is big, one bowl is definitely not enough for him.

"Okay, cold cucumber is [-] cents a piece, bean sprouts and minced meat soup is [-] cents, ground three delicacies are [-] cents, three bowls of rice are [-] cents, the total is [-] cents and [-] cents, plus a [-] taels food stamp."

Si Ningning took out a small handkerchief from his pocket, and quickly counted the three cents and six cents. On the contrary, it took a long time to find the food stamps.

"It's troublesome." Si Ningning handed over the money ticket, smiled awkwardly, thinking in her heart, next time she goes to Monkey Head and the others, she must ask Monkey Head to give her all kinds of bills, or else she will spend all her money in the future. With money, you can't buy anything without a ticket.

The gay man at the counter smiled and waved his hands, "You're welcome, but comrade, it's lunchtime right now, and there are too many people in the shop, so the meal won't be delivered to you in a while, so you have to come and pick it up yourself."

"Okay." Si Ningning nodded, these are trivial matters.

Leaving the counter, Si Ningning went upstairs with a "thump, thump, thud, thump, thud, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump" and just reached the stairs on the second floor, when she saw Huo Lang sitting by the window and waving at her.

Si Ningning trotted over, Huo Lang said: "Sit here and cool off."

Si Ningning nodded, and casually chatted to Huo Lang: "It won't be too hot here in the south after autumn, right? It's been a bit chilly when I went to bed at night recently."

"The temperature difference between morning and evening is not very obvious now. When it rains after a while, the temperature will drop sharply."

"Then is it possible to prepare for the winter now?"

"The winter in the south is wet and cold. It's better for you to prepare early in the first year. Save more charcoal and collect firewood. Otherwise, the humidity will be high, and the firewood will run out and go out to pick it up, and it will be too late to get it back."

"Then I'll tell you guys when I get back, and act as soon as possible!" Si Ningning nodded hastily.

Estimated time should be about the same, took off the small army green bag and put it against the wall under the window sill, Si Ningning stood up with a smile on his eyes, "I'll go pick up the food, you wait for me to get it!"

Si Ningning came back quickly with the dinner plate. There were several dishes on the whole wooden plate, among which two bowls of rice obviously couldn't fit, so Si Ningning forcibly put them on top of the dishes.

The dishes trembled and made noises as they walked all the way. Huo Lang raised his head when he heard the movement, and quickly got up to take the plate.

When he saw that there was still a large bowl of steaming soup on the dinner plate, Huo Lang frowned, and the back of his neck felt cold. How to do?"

"How can there be so many contingencies?" Si Ningning stuck out his tongue out of luck, and took the lead in sitting on the long bench, holding his chin and looking at Huo Lang with a smile, "Hey, sit down and eat quickly! I'm hungry !"

Seeing her little girl's playful and coquettish appearance, Huo Lang couldn't continue training her immediately, put down the plate, took out the vegetables and soup and put them on the table, and finally put one of the rice with chopsticks in Si Ningning Come forward, "Let's eat."

Si Ningning was not too polite, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the eggplant in the ground three delicacies first, and introduced in a rambling manner: "The comrade who ordered at the counter especially recommended it. It is said that the taste is good. Do you want to try it too?"

"Ah."

"How? How does it taste?"

Facing Si Ningning's shining eyes, Huo Lang took a piece and put it in his mouth, nodded for a while and said: "The taste is quite authentic."

typical?

Si Ningning gave a "ding" in his mind, and blurted out the questioning words: "Have you eaten before?"

"Yeah." Huo Lang nodded, and briefly explained in a few words, "My grandfather was from the Northeast. I used to live there when I was young, and my grandmother would do this."

Having said that, Huo Lang paused for a moment, and continued: "This oil is a bit too much, and it tastes very strong. If you eat a few more pieces, you will get tired and panic. If you put less oil, it will taste better, and you can also eat it." .”

It was Huo Lang who said this with a slice of eggplant, wiped off the excess fat on the side of the plate, and put it into Si Ningning's bowl, "Rub it with rice again, try it."

Si Ningning tried it as she said, and the taste seemed to be a bit better, but because it was rubbing off the excess oil instead of controlling the amount of oil used from the beginning, the taste was only a little bit better.

She just ate one chopstick and felt that it was a bit oily and couldn't take a second bite. Now she can at least eat a few more bites.

"The comrade said that the oil is heavy. I think I have already ordered two light ones. It doesn't matter if I order a little oily one..."

Most of the vegetarian dishes are cheap, like a plate of cold cucumber is only two cents, the price of bean sprouts minced meat soup and ground three delicacies is several times that of cold cucumber, because one of them is stained with meat, and the other is oily. many.

In this day and age, people don’t pay attention to anything else when eating, but they pay attention to meat and oily food. If any of these are eaten, the price will increase several times.

Si Ningning has fallen into the misunderstanding that every family in this era is reluctant to put more oil in their meals, thinking that more fresh oil is a plus point, so it is so neat when ordering.

Seeing Si Ningning's brows frowned, and a look of annoyance appearing on his face, Huo Lang smiled and comforted him: "I'm talking about the local delicacies made by my grandma, of course they are different if they are not made by the same person."

"The one in front of me may not be good. Just say the same thing. This oil is a good thing. It can't be eaten alone, and it tastes good when eaten with rice." Huo Lang said, adding a large chopsticks to the bowl, After mixing it up in twos and twos, he ate a big mouthful, and after a while, he didn't forget to raise his head and say to Si Ningning, "You want to try it too?"

Si Ningning was skeptical, and thought that although the dish was a little unsatisfactory, Huo Lang couldn't let Huo Lang finish it by himself, so he added a few chopsticks to the bowl and stirred it up.

In the end, he lowered his head and took a bite into his mouth. Si Ningning frowned, then raised his eyebrows high.

The rice neutralizes the excess oil in the dish, and after one bite, the strong salty and fresh flavor is paired with the juice inside the eggplant slices and green peppers. Not to mention, it's a bit like soup with rice, and the taste is not bad...

Si Ningning ate and thought about the taste again and again, but Huo Lang, who was opposite her, still stopped eating, and looked at her playfully with his chin on his side, "Is it delicious?"

"Hmm~"

"If you like it, order it next time?"

"Ok!"

A smart and shrewd girl, there are times when she is ignorant and easy to coax...

Seeing Si Ningning's earnestness and cuteness with crooked eyebrows and bulging cheeks, Huo Lang burst out laughing, shook his head and lowered his head to continue eating, "Don't just focus on eating, there's still soup."

"I see!"

……

It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the hospital after eating.

Shan Mantang was looking for a shady place to park, while Si Ningning and Huo Lang carried bundles of bamboo and hemp paper, and walked upstairs slowly side by side towards Mo Bei's ward.

"The relevant records from the Public Security Bureau have also been made. I will go back to the commune in the afternoon to take away Wu Yong and the others. Then I should be able to go back tomorrow, right?"

"No, you still need to stay in the county for a few more days." Huo Lang shook his head, and then analyzed: "They are taken away and can only temporarily eliminate the threat they may bring to you, but the whole incident has not been fully implemented. If You go back to the production team now, and if they need your cooperation later, they have to go to the production team to find you, so it is easy to leak the news."

If someone asks, it's hard to explain.

Huo Lang paused as he spoke, turned sideways and stared at Si Ningning seriously, and said, "Since Uncle Hongbing has given you an excuse, you can live in the county with peace of mind, and the production team won't make any mistakes."

Si Ningning nodded hesitantly, "What about you? In fact, I've gotten to know the county a lot these past two days. You don't have to come here all the time to delay your work... I'm also a little worried that Sanae and the others are at home. "

Huo Lang's peach blossom eyes flickered, his arched eyebrows frowned, and he was silent for a while.

In just a moment, he was returning to his body and continued to walk up the stairs slowly, "It's okay, but I have something to do these few days and I have to leave for a few days... At that time, I will ask Shan Mantang to follow you, where are you going to follow?" He said."

Si Ningning gave a silent "Oh" and after careful consideration, she looked at Huo Lang seriously with deer eyes and asked, "Is it a task arranged by the organization?"

"Ah."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Si Ningning fell silent again.

Huo Lang was a soldier, and now he works in such a rigorous place, which is enough to show that his status is very special.

Now that he suddenly had to leave for a few days, it was still assigned by his superiors. Si Ningning inexplicably thought of some dangerous missions. He didn't know whether it was because he didn't want Huo Lang to go, or because he was worried that Huo Lang would be in danger. Si Ningning suddenly became depressed. stand up.

The tasks assigned by this kind of unit should generally be classified as confidential, Si Ningning is not easy to ask about the details, and just pretends to inadvertently ask Huo Lang about the return date.
