I brought a Jurassic

Chapter 2: Eating and drinking
After returning home, Wang Luo skillfully gutted the big grass carp, cleaned it up, took out the big iron pot at home, poured oil and spices and other ingredients into it, then put the fish in, poured water on it, and started to simmer.

"Boil the tofu a thousand times and the fish a million times", this fish needs to be boiled vigorously to be delicious. What he is doing now is the way people in Northeast China cook it, stewing it in an iron pot. Unfortunately, it lacks Northeast soybean paste, so it has lost its soul a bit. But it doesn't matter. What era is it now? It's the 1960s. Everyone has to calculate when eating cornmeal, as long as they don't starve to death. Eating like this is already quite a luxury.

But he is the only one who eats like this in this area, and no one has come to investigate. It's not stolen. Buying it at a high price in the pigeon market is not allowed, but ordinary people need to eat, so the relevant authorities will not care unless they report it. Their family members all go to buy it. Is it like those predecessors who traveled through time and space, having to hide after eating a good meal?

There is no other way. With the conditions in place, my parents are both soldiers and have no shortage of allowances. Other families only have about five yuan per person per month at most for living expenses.

But it is not a problem for him. His father gives him 20 yuan a month for living expenses. How can a young man like him keep it to have children? In his previous life, he worked hard to save money, but died in the end. In this life, he has let it go. God let him travel to this world with good conditions, and he is here to enjoy himself.

Then he exploded, trying every way to get delicious food, staying away from school for three days and wandering around all day. Don’t say it, life without constraints is very comfortable. No wonder so many young people in later generations lie down!
As the aroma of the stewed fish began to spread, the children next door began to cry again, especially Bang Geng, who kept yelling, "Grandma, I want to eat fish, buy it for me."

What he got in return was scolding and slapping from the adults.

The adults didn't go to that extent, but they were also drooling with greed and started talking about it.

"Whose house is this? They're making delicious food. The aroma is so good!"

"Whose family is it? It's Old Wang's family in the garden next door. They have only one child, and his parents are soldiers. Ever since Old Wang passed away, the child has completely let himself go. He cooks delicious food every other day. We are nothing like him. We eat cornmeal porridge every day and can't even bear to eat more steamed buns."

"Then no one is in charge?"

"How can we care? Who should care? You are his parents, and they didn't say anything, so why do you care? If you have the ability, you have a working couple in your family, and he is also a child. If he eats like that, we have a group of children, are we going to starve to death? Comparing yourself with others is really frustrating!"

"No, I can't bear it anymore. Let me satisfy my craving with this fragrance!"

A large group of onlookers sniffed the aroma and munched on the steamed buns, as if they were eating the big grass carp stewed by Wang Luo.

"This Wang family kid has been completely lawless since Old Wang left. He doesn't care about unity at all. What era is this? How dare he eat and drink like this?"

Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality, smelled the stewed fish in the air, listened to the crying of his disciple, the chief elderly care provider Jia Dongxu, and threw his chopsticks on the table and said angrily.

"Old Yi, the Wang family has the means, and you are not their parents. You can't control them even if you want to. They can do whatever they want. It's better to stay out of their business."

An aunt advised helplessly.

His family conditions are obviously good. Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level worker. With bonuses and subsidies, he earns more than 100 yuan a month. There are only two people in the family, but because they don't have children, they dare not eat or drink for the sake of old age. They eat steamed bread and noodle soup every day. When will this life end? After listening to his wife's words, Yi Zhonghai felt helpless. He couldn't do anything about it. She basically didn't interact with people in the hospital. She was a military family member. Although he was an eighth-level worker in the factory and a big man in the hospital, his family conditions were good and he had parents. You didn't allow him to have a good meal. Could you go over and point at him and ask him not to eat like this? You have to find a suitable reason.

But if you have such a neighbor, everyone is starving and has not tasted meat for three months, but you are eating and drinking as much as you want. Then you will really be hated and your teeth will itch.

No matter what Wang Luo's dear neighbors think, he should eat. What I eat at home has nothing to do with you. If it makes you uncomfortable, just hold it in. Do whatever you want. I don't owe you anything. Let's not bother each other.

When he was putting the corn tortillas on the pot, the small window of a side room on the east wall of his house was opened, and a girl with pigtails jumped out.

"Wang Luo, you made delicious food again. It smells so good!"

"Hey, He Yushui, no matter how delicious my food is, it can't compare to Brother Zhuzi's cooking. Have you eaten yet? If not, come and have some. I went to Houhai for a stroll today and caught a big grass carp. I stewed it in an iron pot according to the Northeastern method and added corn cakes."

"Then I won't be polite. Wait for me. I'll be there soon."

He Yushui closed the window, went out, and strolled to Wang Luo's house from the front yard.

He Yushui is Wang Luo's only friend in the entire courtyard. They are classmates. They walked together in elementary school and played together when they had nothing to do. When He Daqing ran away, she had nothing to eat and was crying with hunger. It was Wang Luo's grandfather who took care of her meals for a few days. So they have a very close relationship.

More importantly, since Grandpa Wang passed away, Wang Luo has let himself go. He is only active in school for a few days and rests for two days. He often finds various excuses to ask for leave. He Yushui has become his tool for asking for leave, so it is nothing for him to treat this friend to a good meal.

In fact, it’s not that Wang Luo is unwilling to go to school, but he feels that there is no point in going there. No matter what, he was a top student who graduated from a 211 university in his previous life. What he learns in school now is very simple. It is really meaningless to study with a teacher who has less knowledge than himself. So why bother to study? Wouldn’t it be better to have fun outside?

Besides, by the time he takes the college entrance examination, the university no longer exists and is too chaotic. There is no point in going to school so he might as well not go. He will go to a technical secondary school, get a job, and wait for the college entrance examination to be resumed, then take the college entrance examination and get a diploma.

Finally, he would start some small business, buy a few houses, become a landlord, and travel around the country. Hehe, it’s wonderful just to think about it. He has already started planning for his life in more than ten years.

"Wang Luo, your life will be difficult now that Grandpa Wang is gone. I have seen you eating and drinking to your heart's content these past few days. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang have given you a lot of living expenses, but they are not enough for you to eat like this. Now it's a problem for everyone to have enough to eat."

He Yushui stuffed fish into her mouth while reminding Wang Luo.
