The next morning, before daybreak, the family of three dressed up, took gifts, locked the door of their den, and went out early...

Captain Sun did not go to the regiment today. He only sent three horse-drawn carriages to take the educated youth to the regiment headquarters for assembly. When Chu Tian and his family of three arrived, the educated youth had not arrived yet.

Sun Weiguo looked at what Chu Tian and his family were wearing and whistled, "Hey, Brother Tian, ​​you three are dressed so smartly today..."

Chu Tian put the things he was carrying on the carriage and smiled, "Do you want it?"

Sun Weiguo was stunned. "Ah? Brother Tian, ​​what did you say?"

Chu Tian saw someone coming out of the corner of his eye, so he just patted his shoulder and whispered, "Wait until I come back, how about Brother Tian take you to make money?"

Sun Weiguo's eyes widened, and after a long while he nodded heavily, "Yeah."

Even though the sky was not yet completely bright, Chu Tian could see a strange light in his eyes.

Along the way, the educated youth sat dejectedly in the carriage without saying a word. Chu Tian and his wife Yao Xiujuan looked at each other and fell silent.

Arriving at the entrance of the regiment headquarters, Sun Weiguo drove the carriage to take Chu Tian and his family of three to the bus station. "Brother Tian, ​​can I take you there?"

Chu Tian refused, "Weiguo, no need, your sister-in-law and Wu Ya haven't eaten yet, I can just take them to have breakfast and walk over."

There is only one street in the regiment, which is less than three kilometers from beginning to end. They are now in the middle of the street, and the bus station at the innermost part is only more than one kilometer away.

Sun Weiguo didn't insist after hearing that, and said, "Brother Tian, ​​when will you guys come back? I'll pick you up at the regiment then."

Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "I don't know exactly when I'll be back..."

"It doesn't matter, we can just find a carriage to take us there..."

After saying this, he waved his hand and walked towards the state-owned restaurant with his wife and daughter. It was breakfast time at this time. When Chu Tian and his family of three arrived at the door, they found that all the seats inside were full. He was planning to buy some food and eat in the car later when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Big brother."

Chu Tian looked over in confusion and found that it was the familiar waitress. When he was about to ask what was the matter, the waitress pointed to the seat next to her and greeted her.

"Brother, come here, there is a seat here, you can sit here with your children and wife..."

Everyone at the table looked at the waiter in surprise, wondering why this usually arrogant and disdainful waiter was being so polite to this family of three. Could these three be of some extraordinary status?

Everyone looked at Chu Tian and the other two, and found that Chu Tian and his wife were wearing brand new military coats and very thick-looking cotton boots, which further confirmed their guess.

"Thank you, big sister..."

Chu Tian felt the undisguised stares of the crowd and frowned slightly. He wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought about the nearly whole day's journey he had to travel, he took a deep breath and walked forward with his wife and daughter.

The waitress smiled and asked them to sit down. "Why are you so polite? What would you like to eat? This morning we have fried fried dough sticks and mutton offal soup..."

After a pause, he continued, "And mutton."

Chu Tian pulled the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Sister, then we want two bowls of mutton soup with mutton, and five oil-scented cakes..."

The waitress responded and shouted towards the back hall, "Two bowls of mutton soup with mutton, five oil-fragrant ones."

Chu Tian paid the corresponding money and just sat back in his seat when he heard someone shouting in displeasure.

"Hey, why didn't you tell us there was mutton?"

"That's right, how can you treat them differently?"

"We also want mutton..."

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment. Just when he was about to say something, he heard the waitress stand up and shout at them with full energy.

"I tell you, do you have meat tickets?"

"Want to eat? Sure, pay the money now and I'll serve it to you right away..."

"If you don't have a ticket, just quietly eat the mutton offal soup, which doesn't require a ticket! Don't be annoying by making such a fuss..."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. Chu Tian glanced at the arrogant waitress and thought to himself that in such a comparison, her attitude towards his family of three last time was much better...

As soon as the meal was brought to the window, the waitress enthusiastically helped Chu Tian to put it on the table, "Brother, this Youxiang (a kind of fried pancake made by the Hui people) is made by a Hui chef in our state-owned restaurant. It's very delicious and they only make it once a month. You are so lucky..."

"Then we must try it..."

Chu Tian understood. No wonder there weren't that many people eating breakfast when he passed by the state-owned restaurant during his previous visits to the regiment. It turned out that today was the day for the special supply of oil cakes...

Chu Tian first gave Yao Xiujuan a fried dough stick, then took another one, split it into two halves, gave one half to Wu Ya, and took a bite of the remaining half himself. After just one bite, Chu Tian knew why these people came out to eat breakfast today.

Because this youxiang is really delicious, with a strong aroma, soft yet chewy, making people want to eat it again.

Yao Xiujuan ate two, Wu Ya ate half because she was small, and Chu Tian finished the remaining two and a half. Although he was full, he still felt a little unsatisfied. Thinking of his remaining food coupons, he took them all out without hesitation.

"Sister, I want eight more oil-fried incense sticks!"

The waitress was surprised for a moment, then nodded, took the money, and called out to the back hall, "Eight oil-fried buns."
