Chapter 159 Braised Pork
Chu Hong waited for another five or six minutes, and Gu Ci finally came back with two lunch boxes in a net bag: "Let's eat while it's hot."
Nowadays, people always carry a large lunch box with them when they go out.
As soon as he opened it, Chu Hong saw that half of the lunch box was filled with rice and the other half was filled with steaming dishes.
There were five or six pieces of braised pork with alternating fat and lean meat, and they looked quite large.
There are also stir-fried sauerkraut with dried tofu and stir-fried bean sprouts.
The fragrant smell of meat aroused Chu Hong's appetite.
"It smells so good?" Chu Hong asked him in a low voice, "How did you buy it in the dining car?"
"You don't need food coupons or meat coupons in the dining car." Gu Ci also felt that the price was a bit high. Worried that she would feel bad after hearing this, he whispered, "It's just that meat costs 1.2 yuan per serving, plus two vegetarian dishes and rice, a total of 2.3 yuan per serving."
There wasn't much meat in the two lunch boxes, only about one pound in total, so it was definitely not cheap.
Therefore, most people who go to eat there are reluctant to buy the braised pork.
This meal costs four dollars and sixty cents, which is equivalent to four or five days' salary for an ordinary worker. No wonder most people are reluctant to spend it.
Chu Hong picked up a large piece of rice and gave it to him: "As long as it tastes good, it's not expensive."
She took a bite of the meat first, then nodded to Gu Ci: "It smells good and tastes good."
As you take a bite, the aroma of meat explodes in your mouth, it is so delicious that it is indescribable.
The braised pork looks a bit fatty, but it is not greasy when you eat it. The skin and lean meat are chewy, and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.
She had heard before that when someone eats something delicious, the kids next door will cry for envy, but she thought it was an exaggeration.
But now she knew it was true.
There were several children aged three, four or five in the carriage. When they smelled the fragrant aroma of meat, they cried and shouted for food.
In order to get their parents' approval, the children sat down on the ground and started rolling around.
This made the parents feel ashamed, so they simply gave their children a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
Chu Hong was reluctant to give away the braised pork, so she pretended that she didn't hear the crying.
Not to mention the children, even He Wen, who was sitting opposite them, couldn't help swallowing when she smelled the fragrance.
She was also hesitating whether she should go buy food.
But I was alone and worried about my luggage.
Just when she was about to ask Chu Hong to help look after the luggage, Wu Xiaoming, who had been staring at them, spoke to Gu Ci in a very familiar manner: "Young man, the food is good today, and I have to go eat too. Can you please look after my luggage for me?"
Gu Ci did not refuse: "Okay."
Wu Xiaoming asked He Wen in a friendly manner: "Comrade, do you want me to bring you food?"
He Wen immediately shook her head and refused, and thanked him softly: "Thank you, I can go by myself later."
Wu Xiaoming didn't force it, he got up and left with his briefcase: "I forgot to bring my lunch box, I might as well eat over there and come back later."
He went to the dining car, ordered a portion of braised pork and rice, borrowed a large bowl, and sat there eating while thinking.
Originally, he should have left yesterday. The transaction amount they were carrying was not small, so they usually went out in groups of two or three.
But he encountered another group of thugs who wanted to rob his fellow thugs. The two men he brought with him were seriously injured in order to protect him, and now they are still lying in the hospital?
Otherwise he could take both women back with him.
But unexpectedly, the two women were not together, and a gay man appeared, and he didn't want to give up the fat meat that was about to reach his mouth.
That is the female comrade next to him. She is obviously shy. If a woman like this falls into his hands, he can just beat her up a few times and scare her a few times, and she will be obedient.
But he was worried about whether the man and woman on the other side would come to the rescue when they saw injustice.
After all, the female comrade on the opposite side knew that she and the woman next to her did not get on the car together and did not know each other. If she was about to knock the woman unconscious and take her away, would she come forward to stop it?
After he finished his meal, he found a toilet to hide in, carefully opened his briefcase, took out four fruit candies, peeled off the candy wrappers, carefully put them into a small bottle, quickly took it out, and rewrapped it.
When he returned, he found that He Wen had also brought back her meal. She only ate three ounces of rice and a plate of pickled cabbage and dried tofu.
Wu Xiaoming talked to Gu Ci first, introduced himself again, and asked their names.
If it were in the past, Gu Ci would definitely not hide it.
But now he has encountered a lot of things and is more cautious. He said his fake name: "My name is Meng Hua, and this is my girlfriend Xiao Hong."
When Chu Hong heard that he gave her such a rustic name, the corners of her mouth twitched and she secretly twisted his thigh with one hand.
Gu Ci shivered in pain. Fortunately, Li Wen spoke softly at this time: "My name is Li Wen."
The main reason is that most people nowadays are simple, kind and helpful. Li Wen did not expect that someone was paying attention to her. When Wu Xiaoming asked, she also told him her occupation: "I am an accountant in the city textile factory."
Then he smiled at Chu Hong in a friendly manner and said, "Xiao Hong, our factory will have a batch of defective cloth in a few days. If you are interested, you can come to me."
"I can take you to buy some defective cloth without tickets."
It was Chu Hong who reminded her to buy food early, so as not to wait until the food truck closed.
She thought this lesbian was particularly nice and wanted to interact more with her.
Besides, they are the leading factory in the city and they have a lot of defective cloth every month. Although they don’t need cloth coupons, the price is not too cheap.
Chu Hong was very moved after hearing this: "Thank you so much."
It's sad to say that she is considered a wealthy person now, but unfortunately, at this season, she still only has two sets of old clothes.
It’s not that she dislikes the look of patches, but the fabric is easily torn. Last time she washed clothes, she rubbed them a few more times and rubbed a hole in it.
Also, when she went out this time, her elder sister brought her newer clothes.
Thinking that everyone in her family was wearing patched clothes, Chu Hong also urgently wanted some cloth.
Unfortunately, the fabric was hard to come by, and the textile mill in the town was small, and the defective fabric was so popular that it was difficult for them to buy it.
The price of fabric on the black market is too expensive, and even Chu Hong doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
Wu Xiaoming was listening to the two young girls chatting and thought that Chu Hong was easy to hook and that a little bit of cloth could make her so happy.
His original idea was to wait until everyone was about to go to bed before giving them candy.
In that case, they would really fall into a coma, wait for the next stop, and then take "Sick Li Wen" away.
That way, even if they noticed something was wrong, they wouldn't be able to find me.
Now seeing Chu Hong being so passionate about Li Wen just because of a little cloth, he felt very annoyed. Why did she keep talking? Couldn't she just sleep quietly?
Of course, they were not the only ones talking. It was only a little after eight o'clock, and passengers in the entire carriage were talking. There were also the sounds of children crying and coughing before going to bed.
He glanced at his briefcase and decided to wait a little longer, lest they faint at this time, which would arouse suspicion.
He also used the excuse of going to the toilet and asked the conductor, and found out that the next stop would be around 10 o'clock, so he went back and waited for the opportunity to take action.
