90s Little Struggle

Chapter 84 Jealousy
Of course, the food that Yan Hong brought was also delicious. In the end, everyone ate it up, even the vegetable buns and mashed potatoes that were disgusting at first.

Although they all felt that the taste was a bit strange, but when they thought that it would cost a few dollars, they couldn't bear to waste it.

In addition, there are all kinds of lo-mei, which can be said to be very rich.

Xiao Hong calculated the cost and considered the actual situation in the town. In the end, she didn't dare to open her mouth and settled on three yuan and eighty catties of fried chicken.

The main reason is that now the best pork belly is only seven to one catty, and this catty of fried chicken can buy more than two catties of pork belly.

If it was more expensive, she worried that too few people would be willing to buy it.

Wu Julan took a deep breath, she knew that the chicken was bought for only one piece and a catty, but now her daughter's price tripled as soon as she opened her mouth.

But in front of outsiders, she didn't say much. Instead, she was afraid that they would think her daughter's words were too expensive, and she would explain without confidence: "They all need to be deep-fried, and it takes a lot of oil."

But they really don't feel expensive.

Yan Hong agrees: "The price is really not expensive."

The ones he bought are probably only about three catties in total, which is almost 90 yuan, and now her price is very reasonable.

This is because he was not short of money in the first place, and the prices in the provincial capital were more expensive than those in the town, so he was indifferent to the price of fried chicken and thought it was normal.

Xu Xinning also echoed: "That's right, our price is only a fraction of KFC, I think the asking price can be higher."

He has never paid attention to the price of goods. Every year, the red envelopes given to him by his grandparents and parents alone are 100 yuan.

How insane is this?You know, many workers don't even earn 100 yuan a month?
That is to say, those master craftsmen can have a salary of more than 100, and there will be some skilled workers, so that they can have a high salary of two to three hundred.

The red envelopes he received during the Chinese New Year were almost worth half a year's hard work.

Xiao Hong gave him a supercilious look: "You just don't touch the sun with your fingers. It's expensive. How many people in our town can afford it?"

Although she was telling the truth, Xiao Fang saw him blinking his charming deer eyes and looking at her aggrievedly, and she retorted softly: "It's not that poor, at least the shopkeepers in our street, as long as it tastes good, Most of them are worth buying.”

A smile instantly bloomed on Xu Xinning's face.

Xiao Hong felt that she was forced to swallow dog food, so she didn't bother to talk about her, so she just gave her a blank stare.

Yan Hong also pulled his lower lip uncontrollably, he was almost jealous of his cousin, he was six years younger than himself, and he had already found a girlfriend, and he was 25 after the new year, and he didn't have a girlfriend yet?

He couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Hong, and quickly looked away. She was much younger than him, and the two of them were not suitable.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful why he couldn't be born two years later?
His parents are urging him to find a partner, thinking that he should get married by the end of next year or the year after.

But marriage is not a business. You can't get married when you should get married, but get married when you like each other.

Yan Hong received a call last night and switched shifts with his colleagues. This morning he came here with his parents to visit his sick grandfather.

Because his mother said that fainting from high blood pressure is very dangerous, so she doesn't feel relieved if she doesn't come back.

But his parents haven't had their holiday yet, and they will go back in the afternoon.

He can rest for three days because of shift changes, but he has to go to work during the Chinese New Year.

Yan Hong also came here with his cousin after visiting his grandfather before.

But it's not good for him to stay outside for too long. After making an appointment with them to go to the city tomorrow, the brothers will go back first.

Xiao Hong also wrote down the various seasonings she would buy tomorrow, and by the way, together with Xiao Fang, enlarged the proportions of the various seasonings she wrote down.

Xiao Fang also put forward her own opinion: "I think the chicken is a bit bland."

"Really?" Xiao Hong hesitated a little: "Then what if someone eats lightly?"

Anyway, she didn't feel weak.

Xiao Fang asked her parents and sister very seriously, and in the end they all agreed that the fried chicken was delicious, but if the chicken was a little saltier, it would be more delicious.

"Then add half a teaspoon of salt for every ten catties of chicken." Xiao Hong patted the table and said, "I remember, we can also prepare some chili powder and tomato sauce."

"In this way, you can add a little according to everyone's different tastes, don't you think so?"

Every summer, whether it is tomato scrambled eggs, tomato egg soup, or tomato mixed with sugar, it is an appetizer on the dinner table.

But except for Xiao Hong, everyone had ketchup for the first time.

Wu Julan asked suspiciously: "Where can I find tomatoes in this winter? Besides, we don't know how to make this sauce?"

"Ketchup is a condiment like soy sauce," Xiao Hong pondered: "We haven't seen it for sale here, and we'll go to the department store in the city to look for it tomorrow. If we can't find it, we can ask Yan Hong to save it from the province I bought it and sent it over."

Houzhai Town is actually not very far from Province Z, but the cars and horses are slow now. They have to go to the provincial capital to take a car in the city, and they have to wait for the car to delay the time.

And the road is not very good now, there is a section of asphalt road, a section of mud road, and a section of cement road, with potholes in the middle, fish can be raised in rainy days.

But she vaguely remembered that in a year or two, road construction would start, and the distance from Houzhai Town to Province Z would be shortened a lot.

At that time, it will only be about 180 kilometers. Now there are few cars on the road and it is easy to drive. It only takes two and a half hours to drive by yourself.

Zhao Laosi laughed and praised: "After all, reading is good, and you know more than us. You must study hard in the future, so that you can be successful."

Xiao Hong smiled a bit reluctantly: her stepfather praised herself so much, if the report card was a dazzling red, what would she say?
Xiao Fang laughed along, "Dad, you are right."

Yanyan even raised her head and chest, with a proud face: "I will definitely study hard. Only by studying well can I have a lot of delicious food. My eldest sister will buy me new clothes."

Anyway, today when she saw her friend and classmate next door wearing new clothes, she was not envious at all, because when she got her report card tomorrow, the eldest sister would also buy new clothes for herself.

When Wu Julan heard this, she urged her husband to go to the bank: "Go quickly and take out the money, so that I can quietly return it to them tomorrow."

And he did not forget to tell his two daughters: "They have really helped us a lot. When you go to the city tomorrow, remember to buy some nice clothes for their brother?"

If it wasn't for the pocket money they had saved, and she didn't want their parents to know, she would definitely send the money to her door and thank them again.

Zhao Laosi responded and went upstairs to get the passbook. When he went downstairs, he specially changed into an old washed and whitish military overcoat. Seeing that the three daughters were all looking at him, he said a little embarrassedly: "Before I heard from Boss Wu that their store was stolen, so I was afraid of being watched, so I wore old clothes so as not to attract attention."
