After leaving the post office, Wen Nuan went to a state-owned hotel. In order to quiet her ears, she did not plan to go back for lunch.
It was not yet time for dinner, and there was no one in the state-owned hotel except the waiters. There was a constant rumbling noise in the kitchen, and it seemed that the chef was preparing lunch.
"Hello, comrade. My brother is going to meet his in-laws today. Can I order some more food to take back?"
These days, if you have food stamps and money, you can't buy as much as you want.
There are only so many things, and I can't sell them to just you.
"I see. Since there's a happy event at home, I'll make it convenient for you. But how much do you want? Let me calculate first!"
Feeling that there was hope, Wen Nuan quickly reported the amount she had calculated.
"Miss, I want five steamed buns, two meat dumplings, two vegetarian dumplings, five servings of braised pork, five servings of sweet and sour fish, five servings of stewed chicken with mushrooms, five servings of three-course stir-fry, and two dumplings!"
"So many? There's no problem with the steamed buns, but there are only two pieces of fish, and there are only three servings of stewed chicken with mushrooms today. There's no three kinds of stir-fried dishes. I can give you two servings of braised pork in brown sauce, but there's no dumplings today!"
After hearing what the waiter said, Wen Nuan was not disappointed. It was much better than she expected. Besides, there was no such state-owned hotel in Kyoto. It was just a little far away.
"That's fine. If there's not enough left, I'll let my mom think of other ways. Sorry to bother you, I'm a little anxious!"
"No problem. The dumplings and steamed buns are ready. The sweet and sour fish is a little more expensive. You pay and wait on the side. By the way, did you bring your lunch box?"
"I brought it, I brought it!"
Before entering the hotel, Wen Nuan took out the lunch box she had bought earlier.
"Sister Lao, please use hot water to scald the food for me before you put it in. These are all new lunch boxes, bought especially for my brother's wedding!"
"Okay, since the girl is so pretty, I'll accept the favor!"
"Thank you, sister, you are so kind!"
"You are such a sweet girl, my grandson is running away, but you are still calling me sister!"
"Really? You already have grandchildren. It doesn't look like it, haha..."
When you are out, saying a few nice words will make things much easier for yourself, and Wen Nuan will naturally not be stingy with these nice words.
In her previous life, she was blamed for not being able to speak after eating, especially when she was in the countryside, she was often bullied. Thinking about it now, Wen Nuan was filled with hatred.
After paying the bill, Wen Nuan sat aside and waited. She was not planning to have lunch here. She was going to go to the department store later. There was also a state-owned hotel nearby.
It would take nearly an hour to get to the department store from here by bus, but she had nothing to do at the moment anyway.
After the report letters were sent, Liu Guizi asked Li Haiyang to help him solve the problem in the evening. What was left was to prepare things for the trip to the countryside and then find an opportunity to empty the Wen family.
After about four minutes, the waiter prepared all the warm items.
I have to say that the cooking skills of the chefs in the state-owned hotel are really good. The aroma of meat filled the whole room, making Wen Nuan's mouth unconsciously secrete a lot of meat water.
"Everything is here, please check it out!"
"Sis, you are such a nice person, you will not cheat me, so there is no need to check. My mother is impatient, so I will leave first. Goodbye, Sister!"
"Okay, bye, slow down little girl!"
Wen Nuan and Xiao Nuan were carrying a bunch of lunch boxes and two large net bags, and they walked into the alley next to them.
Just like before, I found a deserted place, put all the food in the bamboo house, then walked out from the other side and headed straight for the bus stop.
It costs 1 cent to take a bus to the department store. After getting off, it takes only 5 minutes to walk to the door of the department store.
She didn't have the chance to buy things here in her last life, so she must go shopping here this time, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, where everything she sees is new to her.
On the counter on the first floor were placed a television, a radio, a sewing machine, a washing machine, and a refrigerator, things she had never seen before.
There are also bicycles, with shiny 28-inch wheels, including Feipi, Fenghuang, and Yongjiu.....
After touring the first floor, Wen Nuan went to the second floor. She couldn’t buy the three-turn-one-ring items, but it was still possible to buy some food.
I used the food coupons and cash to buy three peach cakes, two cookies, and even two boxes of fruit candies.
Wen Nuan originally wanted to buy some White Rabbit Toffees, but she only had two candy tickets in her hand, and she had no more than one or two.
White Rabbit milk candy is not as durable as fruit candy, nor as affordable as fruit candy, especially in the countryside, where two pieces of fruit candy can be exchanged for a bundle of firewood with a half-grown child.
So after much deliberation, Wen Nuan finally bought all the fruit candies.
The third floor sells fashionable clothes and shoes, colorful crystal sandals, and colorful ragis.
Wen Nuan was somewhat tempted by the sight, and after careful consideration, she couldn't resist the temptation and bought two skirts, a pair of sandals, and a pair of leather shoes.
Love of beauty is a woman's nature, who can resist these pretty little skirts!
It was especially warm. It was a pity that she had never worn a single piece of ragi in her entire life.
This time she bought two at once, which made up for her little regret.
After walking around the department store, the sun was already high in the sky. Without looking at the watch, I knew it would be at least 18:00.
Wen Nuan had thought about buying a watch, but she didn't have a watch ticket!
Another thing, based on the principle of not wasting, she also planned to rob Wen Changming and Tan Xiulian!
These two bastards each have a watch on their hands, and it’s a Shanghai brand!
It's useless to keep it in our hands. When we vacate the Wen family's house, we can give it to her.
She rubbed her stomach. She was really hungry now. She came out of the department store and ran to the alley first. After putting her things down, she went straight to the state-owned hotel with her lunch box.
There were quite a few people eating at this time, and there wasn't much left on the blackboard. Wen Nuan ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, two dumplings, and a serving of braised pork.
It's not that she doesn't want to buy more, it's just that she has run out of other things.
I secretly thought it was a pity, paid the bill, and found a quieter place to sit down.
"The braised pork, dumplings, and shredded pork noodles are ready!"
The waiter yelled at the top of her lungs, and Wen Nuan was startled instantly, then walked over quickly.
I serve my own meals, which is in line with the saying that if I work hard, I will have enough food and clothing!
After returning to her seat, Wen Nuan began to enjoy her meal.
I first picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in my mouth. It was immediately savory, with a rich sauce and a soft and tender taste.
"As expected, the chefs at state-owned hotels are still the best!"
Wen Nuan was very hungry, and the adults and children enjoyed the food. After a while, the big bowl of shredded pork noodles was finished, and only half of the braised pork was left.
