Chapter 46
glared angrily at Ning Yuan: "You stole my things again, only five big white rabbit milk candies are left, and my jade chili pepper!"These candies and cookies are impossible to find in the countrysid...Ning Yuan washed her hands and saw on the table a dish of garlic chives stir-fried with cured pork, a dish of lard stir-fried with water spinach, and a pot of red potato porridge.
"Eat." Rong Zhaonan handed her chopsticks. Ning Yuan took the bowl and chopsticks, and ate a few mouthfuls of rice and vegetables.
The garlic sprouts and water spinach were stir-fried until very tender, and the garlic chives and preserved pork were very fragrant.
She couldn't help but remark, "You cook really well. I thought you wouldn't know how to cook."
She usually takes care of cooking, while he is responsible for cleaning the stove and washing dishes.
Rongshenan watched her eat with a satisfied expression, and tugged at the corner of his lips: "I learned how to cook from the chief chef in the army kitchen back then. That chief chef used to be the head chef at Jiangnan Huibin Building."
He's actually quite picky about food, but in the army and during this era, being able to eat your fill is already a blessing.
Ning Yuan suddenly remembered something and quickly got up to open her backpack. She took out an oiled paper package from inside.
She opened the oiled paper, revealing half a roasted chicken inside. "So busy fighting and eating, I almost forgot! I bought this in the county town, it's still warm. Eat up!"
Rong Zhaonan looked at the fragrant roasted chicken and then at Xiang Ningyuan: "It seems like the cured pork is selling well today."
Otherwise, how could the little agent afford to buy roast chicken
Ning Yuan, upon hearing this, immediately took out her purse and slapped it on the table. "Forty yuan plus twenty-five kilograms of national ration tickets, five kilograms of provincial ration tickets, and five kilograms of snacks tickets!"
Besides the twenty-two jin of grain ration tickets, twelve feet of cloth ration tickets, and five jin of oil ration tickets, she now also had one jin of snacks ration tickets. She felt much more financially secure now.
She’s really turned her life around. Now she’s considered upper middle class in the village. No more scraping by like she did when she was sent down to the countryside as a youth worker.
She's not afraid even if her family cuts off her living expenses!
"I used some tickets to buy twenty kilograms of grain and half a roasted chicken, as well as some soda crackers. Now we can have at least one big bowl of rice every week." Ning Yuan smiled with wide eyes, her expression filled with contentment.
She eats sweet potato porridge every day, she's sick of it and keeps farting.
Now at least the staple food has been improved, and although soda crackers are not as delicious as Shanghai Millennium Green Cookies, they are also a high-end snack nowadays.
Occasionally, I use it to fill my stomach in an emergency, which is very convenient.
Rong Zhaonan looked at the nationwide food coupons, thoughtfully: "Where did you exchange these nationwide food coupons, the black market"
This kind of thing can only be obtained by formal employees on business trips, and not everyone is eligible.
Ning Yuan shook her head, eating while feeling a bit smug: "I found a good lead. Our cured pork will be able to sell to the county guest house from now on. The tickets are provided by the people at the guest house."
Rong Zhaonan looked at the girl in front of him in surprise: "You still have this ability."
Ning Yuan puffed out her chest and glared: "Hmph... Rong Zhaonan, you're underestimating me! What do you mean I still have this ability Women can hold up half the sky!"
Rong Zhaonan pressed his glasses and curved his thin lips: "Yes, Ning Yuan Tong Zhi is right. I was lacking in ideological awareness."
Ning Yuan couldn't hold back her laughter, holding the bowl in her hand and laughing out loud: "Poof, I didn't expect Rong Zhao Nan to be so humorous."
Even when he was young, Mr. Rong wasn't always aloof, serious, and hard to get close to.
"Speaking of which, she suddenly reached out and took off Rong Zhaonan's glasses: 'Don't wear these glasses anymore, one of the lenses is broken. Be careful not to get poked in the eye by the glass. I'll buy you a new pair of glasses when I go into town next time.'"
He gets half of the earnings!
Rong Zhaonan was taken aback, only feeling her slender fingers accidentally brush against his cheek, taking off his glasses.
The girl's tone and smile in front of him almost gave him a strange illusion, as if they were a real couple.
Rong Zhaonan picked up his chopsticks and bowl nonchalantly, saying, "It's okay, I don't have nearsightedness."
Ning Yuan was stunned, looking at the broken glasses in her hand, she realized that it was actually a plain mirror.
She suddenly understood, this pair of glasses was really just a prop he used to hide himself.
Ning Yuan looked at the wounds on his face and suddenly asked, "You could have dodged them, why didn't you"vous. "Who said that a 'soft-rice eater' is not handsome If I think he's handsome, it's none of your business!"She vaguely knew Rong Zhaonan disliked people staring at his face, she didn't want to off...
