Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1172 Secret Sauce
All this made Zhang Yu sigh that food was still the most useful at this time.

He had all these things in his space, and they were even better than those sold outside, so after a round of shopping, Zhang Yu only bought a few backpacks and baskets.

This thing is a semi-consumable for him.

Every time I take something home, I bring back a backpack.

Once those backpacks were brought home, they were put out in the open. In order to avoid suspicion from his aunt and the others, Zhang Yu rarely put the backpacks back into the space.

Over time, a lot of Chinese wolfberries were piled up in Jingshi’s homes.

Zhang Yu didn't take it seriously at first, but later when he heard his aunt nagging, he found an excuse and put the backpack back into the space.

However, those baskets were later exchanged when he went to the black market and pigeon market to exchange food for things that would appreciate in value in the future.

He had bought several backpacks, but now there was only one left in the space, although there were still two or three baskets.

After coming out of the market, Zhang Yu chose a deserted place and took out the set of equipment he had bought on the black market from the space.

Half an hour later, a man in his 30s, with a weathered face and tattered clothes, walked into the post office and mailed two letters.

If someone was at the scene, they would see that the recipient of one letter was surnamed Wang and the other was surnamed Song.

As for the content of the letter, it was actually very simple. It simply recorded the "real situation" of several new educated youth in the past few days.

As for whether the recipient would believe the letter after reading it, Zhang Yu didn't expect them to do anything. He just wanted to leave a mark in the hearts of the two families to disgust them.

But Zhang Yu never expected that these two letters sent casually would have such a great effect.

It directly cut off the retreat routes of several new educated youth.

However, that was a week later. After all, the speed of sending letters in that era cannot be compared with that in later generations.

After coming out of the post office, Zhang Yu found a deserted place and changed back into his own clothes.

Then he took out the prepared backpack, which contained some red dates and ten pounds of rice. After thinking for a while, he took out two pounds of brown sugar.

By the way, he signed in today for the brown sugar, a total of two kilograms, and took it all out.

Although there were only two kinds of brown sugar this time, he was not disappointed, and was even a little surprised.

After all, the system was becoming more and more stingy. Ever since he signed in for the Little Gold Bean for the first time, it was like poking a hole in the Little Gold Bean's nest. Until today, he basically only got one Little Gold Bean a day.

But in this era of material shortages, when money cannot buy anything, although the little golden beans are nice, they are not as pleasing to the eye as the real materials.

In other words, he has a secret space, has output every day, has no shortage of food, and does not need to rely on the system for everything.

Looking at the three things in front of him, Zhang Yu thought about it and decided not to take out the meat that he had prepared at the beginning.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to take more, but if he really takes out too much, his grandpa and others will be worried.

This is perfect, and there are red dates for sale at the market today, which gives him a reason.

As for the meat, I'll find another chance next time.

After packing up the backpack and putting the jacket he had taken off because of the heat on it, Zhang Yu went to the state-owned restaurant with his things on his back.

He went there early, so there weren't many people there at this hour.

Looking at the menu posted by the state-owned restaurant, Zhang Yu was surprised to find that there were braised pork and dumplings today. Now that was good, he was originally thinking about how to find an opportunity to get some meat home.

Now it’s good, it’s ready.

He directly chose braised pork, stewed fish, dumplings, and a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

If it weren't for the fact that the braised pork and fish were limited to one portion per person, Zhang Yu would have wanted to order a few more and give the Xie family a good meal.

The waiter looked at what Zhang Yu was wearing, then looked at his appearance, his face slightly flushed, and kindly reminded him: "You can't finish all this by yourself."

Zhang Yu nodded and thanked the other party for his kindness.

"I'll take the braised meat and fish home."

The waiter stopped talking. This was not an uncommon thing. In the past, many people would come to the state-owned restaurant and order a meat dish, then pack it up and take it home.

After receiving Zhang Yu's money and ticket, the waiter opened the curtain and shouted to the kitchen at the back: "One serving of dumplings, one bowl of meat noodles..."

"Okay!" A strong voice came from the kitchen.

After hearing the answer, the waiter lowered the curtain and said to Zhang Yu, "It will be ready in a moment. Please sit there and wait for a while."

The dumplings must have been wrapped in advance and were served out quickly, followed by the shredded pork noodles.

Zhang Yu went to the counter, took the dumplings and shredded pork noodles he ordered, found a table and started eating.

Although there was not much meat filling in the dumplings and the taste was only average, the portion was definitely enough. Add to that the bowl of shredded pork noodles, and Zhang Yu would be about 80% full even if he had a big appetite.

Speaking of that bowl of shredded pork noodles, no wonder my second uncle and his friends insisted on letting me try the shredded pork noodles from the state-owned restaurant. It tasted so good!
As a northerner, Zhang Yu has eaten a lot of noodles in his two lives, but it is no exaggeration to say that this noodle is definitely among the top two among all the noodles he has eaten.

Not only are the noodles chewy and bouncy, the soup must also be specially made, fragrant and not greasy, making you want to finish even the soup.

But this is not the best part. The best part is probably the sauce on the shredded pork.

I don’t know how the chef cooked it, but it’s so delicious that I can’t describe it in words!

Zhang Yu ate a bowl of shredded pork noodles cleanly, including the soup, and still felt a little unsatisfied.

Giving up the urge to order another bowl, Zhang Yu rolled his eyes and praised the shredded pork noodles several times in front of the waiter, saying that the chef’s cooking skills were really good.

Hearing Zhang Yu's praise, the waiter smiled and said proudly, "Of course not. My grandfather is most proud of the noodles he made in his life. I'm not exaggerating. The noodles my grandfather makes are absolutely first-rate."

"This is the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten!" Zhang Yu did not hesitate to praise.

Then he sighed with some regret: "Ah, it's a pity that I can't stay here for too long. I feel reluctant to think that I won't be able to eat such delicious noodles after I go back, especially the sauce on it, which is really amazing, alas..."

Then, taking advantage of the cover of the backpack, he took out two large lunch boxes and asked the waiter to help put the braised pork and fish into the lunch boxes.

The waiter subconsciously glanced at the basket on the ground and happened to see the brown sugar on the top, and his eyes lit up.

She looked at Hongtang, then at Zhang Yu, seeing the genuine pity on her face, and seemed to have made a decision: "That's easy, wait for me."

The waiter lifted the curtain and went into the kitchen at the back.

Ten minutes later, she came out with a can.
