Chapter 83 Departure
The basic situation in the store now is that the steamed bun shop is managed by Sun Lanlan, assisted by Sun Bingnan and Aunt Sun, and the cooked food section is managed by Su Wensong, assisted by Ma Yingzi and Pang Yongli.
Since the two things are already on track, it’s okay for Lin Chuxia to leave for a few days.
Sun Lanlan and Su Wensong are even more motivated. The longer the boss is away, the more they want to make the bun shop better, so that their value can be reflected.
Lin Chuxia bought a lot of daily necessities and food from Mr. He, and left fifty yuan in the end.
Mr. He refused to take it, so she secretly put it under his pillow.
After everything was settled, Lin Chuxia boarded the train to the northwest.
Her luggage was simple, with only a suitcase for concealment, and more things were placed in the space.
I plan to find a place to put my things in the box after I arrive in the northwest.
In addition to the return address on the envelope, Qin Yang's last letter also clearly stated the address of his current workplace. If Lin Chuxia hadn't been in contact with him for those days and knew this man's temper, she would have really suspected that the letter was written by someone else.
I don’t know how the man would react when he saw her suddenly appear.
Thinking about that scene, Lin Chuxia couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
To reach the northwest, one has to change trains halfway, and this trip will take three days. Lin Chuxia bought a sleeper ticket.
Now you need to go to the brigade to get a certificate to go out, but if you want to buy a sleeper ticket, you don’t need to go by job title.
Otherwise, no matter how much money you have, you may not be able to get a sleeper berth.
Lin Chuxia got on the train, found her seat and didn't move. There were many pickpockets on trains these days, and she wasn't worried about being robbed, she just thought it was troublesome.
I only go out to eat and go to the toilet.
She put a lot of food in the space, including meat buns, vegetarian buns, and cooked food... Even when she took them out, they were still hot. If she did that too often, it would probably arouse suspicion.
She didn't want to take out the cold food to eat, so she just made do with the boxed lunch on the train.
Fortunately, the kettle was filled with spiritual spring water, so I didn't feel tired along the way.
When they changed trains at the transfer station, Lin Chuxia took the opportunity to take out the steaming hot meal, and the first thing she did after getting on the train was to eat.
It is lunchtime and there are many people eating on the train.
Opposite her was a mother and daughter. The mother was in her 50s, with gray hair and tattered clothes with several patches on them.
My daughter was in her twenties. She wore a washed-out jacket and had two pigtails.
Each of them took a pancake and ate it with boiled water.
Next to Lin Chuxia was a man in his early 30s. He was probably eating a box lunch on the train, which consisted of white rice, stir-fried beans with meat, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
As soon as Lin Chuxia opened her lunch box, a tempting aroma wafted out.
She also prepared this lunch box in advance and put it in the space, with white rice, braised pork, and three fresh vegetables.
The older brother next to him took a look and asked, "Big sister, where did you buy this food? I just went to buy food, but I didn't see the braised pork."
"I got on the train at this station and bought food from a state-owned restaurant outside and brought it up here."
Lin Chuxia explained casually.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. His taste buds, which had been tortured for three days on the previous train, were immediately satisfied. When he looked up, he saw the girl opposite him staring at him.
She also knew that eating bread was
The braised pork is indeed not very authentic, but there is nothing we can do. We can't just eat pancakes to please others, right?
Silently speeding up her eating pace was the greatest mercy she could show.
Before anything happened, the girl on the other side said, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork."
The old lady opposite was obviously not one who favored boys over girls. She gently comforted her daughter, "Be good, bear with it for a while. I'll buy you some braised pork when we get there."
"But I want to eat now. I've eaten several meals of pancakes. You see, I've lost weight," he said, lifting up his sleeves to show the old lady.
The old lady immediately looked distressed, "My daughter has been wronged. Don't worry, when we get the money, we will buy two pounds of meat, and mom will make you a big pot of braised pork, so that you can eat enough and nourish yourself."
"But I can't bear it anymore now," Liu Xiaohua's heart was bleeding as she watched the woman opposite her eat faster and faster and the braised pork in her lunch box became less and less.
Can't you give her two pieces? One person can eat so much braised pork without worrying about dying of overeating.
As the old lady said, no one knows a daughter better than her mother. The old lady understood something as soon as she saw her daughter's eyes. She discussed with Lin Chuxia, "Comrade, can you give us a piece of meat? We are an orphan and a widow and have been eating bread for two days."
Lin Chuxia, who was busy eating, looked up blankly: "..."
What does eating pancakes for two days have to do with her?
It’s not that she didn’t hear the conversation between the two people just now, but no matter what, she didn’t expect things to develop in this direction.
Seeing the resentful look of the girl opposite, Lin Chuxia directly refused, "I'm sorry, Auntie, you've been eating cakes for two days, and I haven't eaten for two days."
"Even if you haven't eaten for 8 days, you must be almost full after eating so much just now. What's wrong with sharing two pieces of meat with us? My daughter hasn't eaten meat for almost half a year. Look at your daughter with rosy lips and white teeth. You should at least be kind-hearted, right?" The old lady felt embarrassed after being rejected in a polite manner and spoke in dissatisfaction.
Lin Chuxia: “…”
There came the sound of the eldest brother eating quickly, so fast, as if he was afraid that the mother and daughter opposite would change their target.
Lin Chuxia was speechless. "Don't be so anxious to flatter me. Let me put it this way. You heard it. I bought this meal from a state-owned restaurant. I'll give you these pieces of meat, and you give me one dollar..."
"One dollar?" Before Lin Chuxia could finish, the old lady interrupted her loudly, "You have already eaten the meal by yourself, and you still want one dollar from us, do you have the nerve to do that?"
"You all have the nerve to ask for food I've eaten, so why should I be embarrassed to ask for money? If you think it's too expensive, don't eat it. I'm not full yet," Lin Chuxia picked up a piece of braised pork with fat and lean meat, put it in her mouth, and chewed it with relish.
The old lady looked at the lunch box, then at Lin Chuxia's expression, and her face became long with anger.
Liu Xiaohua next to her was almost crying in anxiety. If she ate any more, there would be nothing left. "Mom..."
The old lady patted her daughter and said angrily, "Good girl, let's ignore her and let her eat too much and have diarrhea."
Lin Chuxia picked up another piece of braised pork and clicked her tongue twice, "It's the skill of the chef from the state-owned restaurant. It's soft and tasty, fat but not greasy, and delicious. I'm willing to go to the toilet twice more because of such delicious meat."
"puff……"
A suppressed laugh came from the side. Lin Chuxia glanced at the big brother next to her. Her head almost stuck in the rice bowl and her shoulders kept shaking.
