Chapter 63 State-Owned Hotel
Some white flour and refined rice are sold for as high as 35 or 40 cents on the black market, and they are still out of stock.
His character must have exploded today.
This one is as white as snow, and the rice looks good.
Earn money! Earn money!
Their family has two working parents, and what they lack is not money, but food and good things.
The man looked at the woman, asking for his wife's opinion.
"Yes, of course! Boss, go get the money!" The woman said without thinking too much.
Looking at the things in the basket, he looked happy.
For fear of angering Lin Tang, he didn't even dare to bargain.
"Thank you, young comrade. If you need anything in the future, could you consider my family first? I will definitely not let you suffer any loss..."
Lin Tang didn't agree and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Now she is selling things only because she is short of money and tickets.
It is not certain whether it will continue to be sold in the future.
Moreover, in the coming days, the control of the black market will become stricter.
Once you get caught, it's no joke.
The woman saw what Lin Tang was thinking and felt very disappointed, but she also knew that she couldn't force him.
"Okay, you know where my home is anyway, so if you have any, please consider us first."
Lin Tang nodded.
The same old saying: Let’s talk about it later.
The man came out with some money and a thin little boy in his hand.
Lin Tang glanced at the little boy and quickly looked away.
"Twenty catties of white flour and refined rice, forty catties of coarse grains, and two catties of oil. Seventeen dollars and eighty cents in total."
The man counted and gave her seventeen dollars and eighty cents, then took out a stack of bills.
"Little comrade, I won't let you suffer any loss. I'll give you some more tickets.
Here we have kerosene coupons, snack coupons, and cloth coupons. I don't have many food coupons, so please forgive me. But I have given you some cloth coupons as compensation.
If you come again in the future, can you come directly to me? I will never let you suffer any loss! "
As he said this, he looked at Lin Tang eagerly.
He and his wife thought the same thing.
The Great Famine had just passed, and there was a severe shortage of food.
Who would object to being able to purchase supplies through multiple channels?
Lin Tang looked at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand and felt that the couple was quite honest.
"Okay, if you need any in the future, I'll come find you."
I didn’t say anything too absolute, maybe it will be useful in the future!
If we can't go to the black market, we can still develop this kind of stable customers.
"My name is Xu Yaowu, this is my wife Yang Wanqin, and this is my son Xu Guorui. Next time you come, just say you're my cousin."
"Okay." Lin Tang agreed.
Xu Yaowu and Yang Wanqin didn't mind that she didn't introduce herself.
It's normal for a young girl like her to feel a little worried, as she's alone.
It will be done after a few more transactions.
Lin Tang didn't delay any longer. He took the money and left Xu's house.
As soon as she left, little Xu Guorui looked at Yang Wanqin and asked, "Mom, can we eat noodles today?"
"Yes, of course you can eat it. Save this flour for Ruirui so you can eat it slowly." Xu Yaowu said with a hearty smile.
The sad look from the past few days has completely disappeared.
These things are enough to keep my son fed for quite some time.
Xu Guorui was so greedy that he sucked his saliva.
"Dad and Mom eat too!"
Xu Yaowu was very happy to hear this and said to Yang Wanqin, "Wanqin, lay another egg for Ruirui!"
The woman said coquettishly, "Do you even need to tell me that?"
Then went to the kitchen.
Lin Tang left the Xu family and walked towards the cotton textile factory.
Almost every country person has mastered the skill of reading the sky and knowing the time.
Anyone who is a little bit more capable can estimate the time almost accurately just by looking at the sky.
Lin Tang went to the black market and Xu's house successively, and it was almost time to meet with his third brother.
When she arrived at the factory gate, Lin Qingmu had just arrived.
"Tangtang, you're here."
Lin Tang thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that his third brother had arrived earlier.
"Third brother, let's go eat first!"
Lin Qingmu was confused. "Eat? Where to eat?"
He is holding a steamed bun.
"To the restaurant, where else can we go?" Lin Tang replied.
“…No! We don’t have meal tickets either…” Lin Qingmu shook his head repeatedly, looking resistant.
Lin Tang took his third brother and walked towards the state-owned restaurant.
"I have! I can't skip dinner. The test results won't be out until this afternoon.
The journey back will take nearly an hour, and if I don’t eat, I’ll be starving.”
Besides, she is making money.
Although I don’t earn much, it’s enough money for a meal.
Lin Qingmu thought his mother had given money to his sister, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eat it yourself, I brought some steamed buns..."
Who can afford to eat at the restaurants in the county?
Lin Tang didn't listen at all and pulled his third brother into the state-owned restaurant.
There were ten wooden tables in the restaurant, and they were full of people.
Opposite the door is a wooden cash register that is one and a half meters long.
The cash register is a bit like a fixed, street vendor cart.
There is a wooden sign hanging on it with the names of the dishes written on it.
To the left of the cashier counter is the cooking area.
There are a few small openings there for the chef to pass out the dishes.
There was a small sign hanging on the wall next to the window, which read "Today's Serving: Fresh Meat Dumplings, 1.5 cents per portion (20 pieces)."
"Third brother, you are taking up space. I will go to order food. What do you want to eat?" Lin Tang asked.
Lin Qingmu just felt uncomfortable all over.
Everyone around him was wearing clean work clothes, but he was wearing patched clothes and was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Hearing Tangtang's words, Lin Qingmu barely suppressed the emotional fluctuations in his heart and said, "I'll just eat something casually. I'll buy you something good..."
Lin Tang glanced at him, how could he not know what his third brother was thinking.
In that world, she relied on studying to leave the orphanage in a small place, and had the same feeling when she went to the big city for the first time.
I felt panic, fear, and a little bit of shame, and felt like something was wrong.
This is something everyone will inevitably experience when they step out of their comfort zone.
The complex emotions at this moment were Third Brother's own life lesson, and she could not interfere.
People are always in the process of "experience" throughout their lives.
There are some experiences that no one else can replace.
But, it will all pass.
She believes in her third brother.
Lin Tang sighed inwardly and went to the cashier to order.
She wore new clothes today, and she looked confident and elegant.
The attitude of the waiter who always looks down on others is just okay.
Lin Tang ordered a plate of fresh meat dumplings for his third brother, a plate of stir-fried lamb with green onions, and a bowl of noodle soup for himself.
Dumplings are 1.5 cents, stir-fried lamb with green onions is 2 cents, and noodle soup is 1.5 cents.
"Hello, comrade. Do you have meat buns?" Lin Tang asked politely.
The waiter at this time was indeed very arrogant, but he was just too lazy to pay attention to people. He would still answer questions.
"Yes, a six."
"I also want 8 meat buns. Please help me pack them. Thank you!" Lin Tang said with a smile.
"Ninety-eight cents in total..."
Lin Tang gave the money to the waiter and returned to his seat.
"Third brother, how do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" she asked.
Lin Qingmu looked more relaxed when he saw his sister.
Hearing her words, a wry smile appeared on his face.
“…I feel a little uncomfortable.”
How could a digger like him have the qualifications to come to a place like this?!
