Wear to the age!I take the space to eat and drink spicy food

Chapter 23 The Railway Station

This time, Jiang Dabao was completely awake.

He also said that when he was dreaming of eating chicken legs, he smelled an indescribable aroma.

"No, no need, Sister Xue, I'm not hungry." Jiang Dabao returned to his senses and shook his head quickly.

Jiang Xue said directly: "I cooked a lot, if you don't sleep, come and eat some."

Jiang Xue put half of the one catty of dried noodles, that is, half a catty, enough for three people to eat.

"This..." Jiang Dabao looked at the casserole, then at the sleeping grandma beside him, and shook his head: "Sister Xue, eat, I'm not hungry."

He is indeed not hungry, of course, he is just not hungry, and he is not full.

Jiang Xue didn't say much, she took the casserole down from the stove, took two bowls and scooped some noodles and spooned some soup, and left the rest in the pot.

Putting a bowl of noodles casually on a simple low table made of a few bricks, Jiang Xue picked up another bowl, picked up chopsticks and was ready to eat.

"I'm hungry. I've cooked the noodles. If you don't eat them, you'll be lumpy." After speaking, Jiang Xue buried her head in eating.

Since she cooks here, she doesn't have the idea of ​​eating alone, but she won't persuade her too much. It's up to him whether to eat or not.

The cheapest earthenware bowl contained snow-white noodles and a few pieces of pink meat inside. What floated in the soup was not green onion, but a kind of vegetable foam that he had never seen before, and he could vaguely see floating on it. A small layer of oil.

Jiang Dabao was not hungry at first, but when he saw the cooked noodles and smelled the aroma of the noodles, he suddenly felt hungry.

However, he just said that he would not eat if he was not hungry.Jiang Dabao quickly covered his stomach, trying not to look at the bowl of noodles, but the smell couldn't help coming into his nose.

After Jiang Xue ate a few mouthfuls, when she was about to drink the soup, she heard the sound of gurgling from the side. She couldn't help but stop, raised her head and smiled and said, "Eat quickly, the noodles are already cooked, and it's a waste if you don't eat it."

Knowing that the sound of his stomach's disappointment was heard, Jiang Dabao's face turned red all of a sudden.

He knew that Sister Xue was a nice person, but he was still a little shy.

"Thank you, sister Xue."

After thanking him, Jiang Dabao didn't hesitate anymore, and sat on another small wooden stool, holding a bowl bigger than his face.

It’s not that Jiang Dabao has never eaten noodles before. It was made by his grandmother when he was a child before he came out to look for relatives. But it was not fine white noodles. It was made of cornmeal mixed with sorghum noodles. He always remembered the delicious ones and couldn’t eat them for a long time. forget.

But today, when he and his grandma ran out of food and couldn't even eat wild vegetables, they could only eat dried wild vegetables soup, and they could only eat corn stalks to barely satisfy their hunger. , Eyes suddenly fell into the noodle bowl.

Jiang Xue was sitting opposite, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Jiang Dabao weeping, and was taken aback for a moment: "Is the noodles I cook so unpalatable?"

She also knows that the noodles won't taste as good after cooking like this. After all, there are no ingredients, but it's not so unpalatable, right?

Jiang Xue looked down at the half-eaten noodles in her bowl, wondering, she thought it was just a little worse than the shredded pork noodles with green vegetables in state-run restaurants.

"No, no, no." Jiang Dabao didn't expect to be discovered, he quickly shook his head, put down the noodle bowl, wiped his tears frantically, and explained to Jiang Xue seriously.

"Sister Xue, the noodles are delicious."

"Really?"

Jiang Dabao nodded heavily: "Really, sister Xue, this is the best noodle I've ever eaten."

"Then why are you crying?" Jiang Xue was puzzled: "You were burned?"

Jiang Dabao shook his head in embarrassment: "No, that is, Sister Xue, I think the noodles are delicious."

Cry because the noodles are delicious?

Jiang Xue looked at the noodles and didn't quite understand, but after thinking about it, he was moved, right?
After being hungry for so long, it's normal to get excited after finally eating a meal of noodles.

"Eat more if it's delicious." Jiang Xue continued to eat the noodles, and Jiang Dabao picked up the noodle bowl again.

After the two finished eating noodles, it was already dawn outside, and Aunt Jiang woke up.

Knowing that Jiang Xue took the noodles to cook and kept her share, Aunt Jiang was grateful and felt that it was a waste of money. The food is so expensive. This girl is really kind-hearted. She stayed for one night and always wanted to give it to their grandparents. Supplementary food.

Because a wolf appeared nearby last night, Jiang Xue told Jiang Dabao not to go into the mountains before entering the city. If he went to fetch water, he had to go at noon, and he went out by himself.

Since she was talking about looking for relatives, of course she had to show her attitude.

When entering the city today, Jiang Xue didn't go directly to the black market at the bus station, but went to the train station.

With money, this time Jiang Xue generously spent two cents to get on the bus.

The roads are not good this year, and the minibus rides like a strenuous old cow, rickety, but Jiang Xue is still very happy in the ride.

Don't have to walk for an hour or two by yourself, don't you want to be happy.

Jiangcheng Railway Station is neither big nor small, and several trains can pass by it a day, two of which are coal trains.

Compared with later generations, Jiangcheng Railway Station can be said to be dilapidated.

Originally, I wanted to take a look, and I had an impression that if I was asked about it one day, I would not even be able to panic, but Jiang Xue didn't expect that there would be a black market here.

The train station goes from south to north, and there are more people. It is more convenient to go on the train after buying and selling, so there are more transactions here than at the bus station.

Now that she saw it, Jiang Xue would not let it go. She first wrapped her face with a scarf, and then asked a few people casually to understand the market.

With this question, Jiang Xue couldn't help but be speechless.

Those who carried bamboo baskets, baskets, shoulder poles, and even those who only carried some burdens on their bodies, the more simple and honest they looked, the more things they had in their hands.

Non-staple food includes canned fish, canned beef, and canned fruit, which are commonly used as gifts when people visit relatives and friends at this time. There are also wild rabbits, pheasants, and even wild boar for sale.

Vegetables can hardly be seen on the black market. It is winter now, and there are only a few kinds of vegetables, onions, potatoes, cabbage and white radishes, these non-staple food stores can usually be bought.

Non-staple food stores are cheap to buy, and no one would foolishly buy them on the black market, unless they are in urgent need.

The grain is the same as that at the bus station, including corn flour, sorghum flour, and some dried sweet potatoes. As for rice and flour, there are also some, but the flour is rich and strong, and it is not a few catties.

The rice is brown rice or rice with dregs, and if you grab a handful, you don't see a whole grain, but they are all half-grain broken rice, and it still sells for three yuan and thirty cents a catty.

Jiang Xue instantly felt that the rice she was selling was a conscience price.

Just when Jiang Xue was about to leave, a woman wrapped in a gray and black padded jacket came to her. She looked around and sized up Jiang Xue a few times before asking in a low voice.

"Comrade, do you want fruit?"

"Fruit?" Jiang Xue was taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked, "What kind of fruit?"
