“No matter how these sparrows eat, they can’t get food in the dormitory.
The aroma of the meat will spread far away in a short time, and it will attract the attention of other students. Will you give it to them or not?
It’s okay to eat meat once or twice, but if you do it too often, it will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested.
If they follow us, we won't be able to keep this sparrow hunting ground." As soon as Zhang Qiurui finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"That's true." After a while, Gu Changwei came to his senses and seemed a little unwilling.
Food was already in short supply in those days, let alone meat. Many people had not eaten meat for several months. They would not be so generous as to share the sparrows in the bungalow with their classmates.
I can only take care of myself and help my classmates if I have the ability.
"Qiu Rui, you want to..."
"Yes, it's just what you thought, Sister Hong.
"Let's go! Follow me, those who want to eat sparrows are following." Before Li Shaohong finished speaking, Zhang Qiurui interrupted her, with a cunning glint in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind.
Zhang Qiurui lightly dusted off his hands, motioned for everyone to follow, and then led the way towards the place where they often climbed over the wall.
Everyone looked at each other, and although they were confused, they still followed.
"We can roast these sparrows and eat them when we leave school, but we don't have salt and matches with us." Seeing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang seemed to understand what Zhang Qiurui meant, and his eyes lit up slightly.
"I have both the things and the place. Just follow me." Zhang Qiurui walked in front with a mysterious smile.
He took them directly to the house rented by Zhang Wenfu in Zhuxinzhuang.
When they arrived in front of a small courtyard, she took out the key and opened the door. Everyone followed her and went in one after another.
"Where is this place?" Zhang Yimou asked curiously.
"This place is the house my second brother rented for me to study with. He went to the city to do some work these days, so this place is empty.
"Next time we catch sparrows, we can bring them here and eat them so our classmates won't notice us," Zhang Qiurui explained.
As for Zhang Wenfu's absence, it was because a few days ago, the brother and sister took a fancy to a courtyard house with three entrances and bought it for ten thousand yuan. It was located at the foot of the imperial city.
It’s only four or five minutes away from Tiananmen Square.
These days, Zhang Wenfu has been looking for someone to renovate and clean up the courtyard house, and has not been living in Zhuxinzhuang.
"Let's go to the backyard to catch sparrows." Zhang Qiurui went to the backyard kitchen first, lit a few candles, and everyone started to get busy.
Just twist the sparrow's neck, scald it with hot water, and then pluck its feathers.
Li Shaohong and Hu Mei were responsible for boiling water, Peng Xiaolian was responsible for lighting the fire, and Zhang Huijun and Xie Xiaojin were responsible for fetching water.
Zhang Qiurui came into the kitchen, holding a wooden basin, and directly opened the rice jar. He scooped rice out of a burlap bag with a bamboo tube, put it into the wooden basin, and began to wash the rice and steam it.
"Is this rice? So much, are you going to cook it for us?" Zhang Huijun came over with some water. When he saw Zhang Qiurui scooping water to wash rice, he was slightly surprised and looked a little unbelievable.
"Just cook for us, what else can you do? Sister Lian, boil water in the other pot and wash it at the same time." Zhang Qiurui said to Peng Xiaolian while washing rice.
"Qiu Rui, this is not a good idea. When your second brother comes back and sees that there is a lot less rice in the rice jar, he will definitely be angry." Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Yimou and others also heard what Zhang Huijun said before. They also walked over and hurriedly stopped him.
Rice is very precious these days, and Zhang Qiurui is very generous. There is nearly five pounds of rice in this wooden basin.
"It's okay, I can make money, and my second brother's food and accommodation are still paid for by me.
I also bought this rice with my own money. You can eat it without worrying about it." Zhang Qiurui washed the rice nonchalantly and put it in the pot to cook.
"You can make money? How do you make money?" Zhang Yimou asked curiously after hearing this.
"I can't tell you. It would be so boring to tell you. Wouldn't it be more surprising if you could slowly discover it?" Zhang Qiurui smiled mysteriously.
"Don't ask anymore. We in the girls' dormitory have been guessing for a long time, but we still can't guess how Qiu Rui makes money.
"Also, during this time, when we woke up hungry, Qiu Rui brought out much more food than this rice," Peng Xiaolian interjected.
"It's destined that we are the only ones who feel hungry at night. You still have Qiurui to provide you with supplies at night, so you won't go hungry. I feel like a clown when we let you out for a bite to eat at night." Gu Changwei thought of the two apples he secretly gave to Zhang Qiurui yesterday. He was worried that she would be hungry because of her age and growing body, so he secretly gave them to her.
Unexpectedly, they ate better than anyone else.
“We still want to thank you for your kindness.
I'll go to the warehouse to see if my second brother has bought any delicious food." Zhang Qiurui said meaningfully. After glancing at the faces of Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Gu Changwei, Zhang Huijun, Xie Xiaojin, and Cheng Kaige, he turned and walked towards the warehouse.
However, Zhang Yimou and the others felt a little embarrassed when they saw Zhang Qiurui looking at them like that.
"The water is boiling, come and pluck the feathers." Li Shaohong's shout eased their embarrassment.
In fact, Zhang Qiurui had put all the food and drinks in the kitchen. When he first arrived at the kitchen, he searched it thoroughly. Only some rice and flour were left. The eggs, bacon and other things he had bought before were all eaten by his second brother or taken to the courtyard to eat.
Zhang Qiurui pretended to go back to his room.
