Rosewood dressing boxes, antique vases, calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, huanghuali armchairs, chaise lounges, upturned-end tables, furniture made of Phoebe zhennan wood, elaborately crafted canopy beds, display shelves...
Although I don't need them for the time being, they are well preserved and have no obvious damage. When I settle into my new home in the future, I can move these antique furniture pieces out and use them.
At this time, these things were not worth much money, ranging from a few yuan to tens of yuan. Therefore, Wenxi did not spend hundreds of yuan on the good things she selected based on the sign-in system. However, the old man also asked for fifty kilograms of rice and a pot of rapeseed oil, since these things were too difficult to buy.
Wenxi went out for a while and then brought back rice and rapeseed oil, which she gave to the old man. The old man carefully put the rice and rapeseed oil away and locked them up before leaving. He had to go to work at the recycling station and couldn't stay too long. He told Wenxi to move the things slowly and to just lock the door and throw the key into the yard when she left, because she had another key on her.
The old man also told Wenxi to come again when she had time.
After the old man left, Wenxi put all the things she had moved to the yard into the system warehouse. The system warehouse was an infinite warehouse, and it could never be filled no matter how many things there were.
Wenxi locked the gate, threw the key over the wall into the yard as the old man had instructed, and then left.
After the effects of the 'Rejuvenating Pill' wore off, Wen Xi appeared on the street. It was getting late, and without lingering, she went straight to the state-run restaurant.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had arrived at the state-run restaurant long ago, but Wen Xi had not yet arrived, and they had not ordered any food, but had been waiting there.
Seeing Wen Xi arrive, Shen Jiaojiao asked worriedly, "Xiao Xi, are you alright?"
Wen Xi shook her head.
"I didn't know when you would be back, so I told everyone to go home first. After all, it's rare to have two days off, and we can't let everyone's rest time be delayed," Shen Jiaojiao said.
Wen Xi nodded. "You did the right thing."
The three of them then walked into the state-run restaurant together. By then, it was well past lunchtime, and there were hardly any people left in the restaurant, except for a few scattered customers.
A sign hangs at the order window, listing dishes such as braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed egg custard, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and stir-fried shredded cabbage with shredded pork...
The staple foods include rice, noodles, dumplings, and steamed buns.
Because in this province, people in the north eat noodles and people in the south eat rice, and Hoa Nguyen City is located in the central part of Hue Chau Province, where some people eat noodles and some people eat rice, so state-run restaurants serve both staple foods.
"How about we order together and split the cost?" Wenxi turned to ask her two sisters for their opinions.
Seeing that both of them nodded in agreement, he said to the staff, "Three bowls of rice, braised pork with preserved vegetables, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried shredded potatoes and stir-fried cabbage, plus three servings of dumplings and twelve steamed buns to go."
When you go out to eat at this time, it's not like the waiter just brings food to your table and expects good service. You're lucky if they don't give you a bad attitude.
Hearing that the food was ready, the three of them went over and brought it to the table. They picked up their chopsticks and started eating right away, as they were extremely hungry and Wenxi had returned too late.
"A state-run restaurant is a state-run restaurant indeed. The food here is really generous and affordable. This braised pork with preserved mustard greens has so many slices of meat." Wen Xi picked up a slice of braised pork with preserved mustard greens, took a bite, and found it to be soft and tender, practically melting in her mouth.
Even Wenxi, who doesn't like fatty meat, thought the fatty part of the braised pork was delicious.
The shredded preserved mustard greens underneath the braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens are also particularly delicious, with a unique aroma.
The three girls finished all the food, including the two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes. They were so full by the end that Jiang Yue patted her stomach and smiled sheepishly, "I'm so stuffed!"
Wenxi cautioned, "Don't rub your stomach unnecessarily, or it will hurt."
"Oh!" Jiang Yue quickly withdrew her hand. Suddenly, she exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Xiao Xi, I suddenly remembered something. Comrade Jiang Mo said there's a package for you at the post office. He said you have to pick it up in person, otherwise we would have brought it back to you."
Wen Xi was startled.
pack?
Could it be that her family received her 'complaint letter' and sent her something over?
When she went to the post office to mail a letter, the staff didn't mention that there was a package for her. It must have arrived at the post office while she was at the recycling center.
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, you two take my basket and go ahead. I'll go get the package, and then I'll catch up with you." After resting, when it was time to leave, Wenxi handed the basket to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, and then walked towards the post office.
Upon arriving at the post office, Wen Xi presented her identification and said, "Comrade, I'm here to pick up a package."
After signing for and receiving the package, Wenxi didn't have time to check what was inside. She grabbed the package and ran after Chen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, otherwise she would have had to walk back by herself.
The package didn't look big, but it weighed about ten kilograms. I encountered people along the way, so there was no way to cheat. I could only carry the package with both arms, and my arms were sore from carrying it.
Wenxi didn't catch up with Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue along the way, and then she didn't chase after them anymore, returning at her own pace.
After joining the Harvest Brigade, Wenxi frequently ran into acquaintances. Because of her excellent cooking skills, she gained a lot of goodwill and praise during the spring planting season!
Wenxi greeted everyone, then took her package and went home. Once home, she told Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, then went straight to her room.
I put the package on the cabinet, lay down on the bed, and sprawled out on the soft blankets. It was incredibly comfortable.
After resting for a while and finishing their chores at home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue went to the bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are not available all year round; they are only available in spring, so they had to hurry and pick them.
Wenxi sat up after lying down for a while, picked up the scissors, opened the package, and took out the contents. Inside were two bottles of malted milk powder, two bottles of canned yellow peaches, cured meat wrapped in oil paper, dried blood sausage, and the rest were high-quality dried mushrooms and dried wood ear fungus.
Judging from the dried mushrooms, it can be seen that Jin Changfeng is currently in Northeast China, because some mushrooms are not found in the central and southern regions and are unique to the Northeast, especially the monkey head mushroom.
There was another envelope inside. When she opened it, she found a letter, three 100-yuan bills, and several receipts. The letter was written by Jin Changfeng. The content was very simple: he was letting her know he was safe and told her that she had exchanged these things at the villagers' homes over there. He also mentioned that he and Jin Changqing each had a copy.
This made Wen Xi feel quite embarrassed. Jin Changqing was her biological sister, while she was just a sister with no blood relation. Holding this money was like holding a hot potato!
