Chapter 243 Hotel
September 1st.
Early in the morning, Gu Ci followed Secretary Song and Chu Hong to the city.
As the person in charge of the breeding farm, Gu Ci personally reported that the hens had started laying eggs one after another.
Although the breeding farm belongs to the collective, the city also has a support policy. If the collective supplies 1,000 chicken and duck eggs to the purchasing station, it can be exempted from a certain amount of coarse grains and receive a certain amount of subsidy tickets.
There is also a requirement that at least 1,000 chicken and duck eggs must be supplied every month.
Of course, if there are special circumstances, such as chicken plague or duck flu, or when the weather is too cold or too hot and chickens and ducks don't like to lay eggs, the conditions can be relaxed appropriately.
In addition, in the spring of next year, they will have ducks and hens hatch eggs, and then supply them to villages in remote areas...
Anyway, it's just a small farm, and there are still a lot of trivial things to do.
Secretary Song was unwilling to wait for them and rode his bike back first.
By the time Chu Hong and Gu Ci left the city, it was almost eleven o'clock.
Gu Ci first went to the post office to send a package to his uncle.
He didn't dare to contact his uncle too often, and at most he would send a package once a month.
Sometimes they send some medicine or food, sometimes they send biscuits and the like.
Of course there will also be letters to them.
Back in March, Gu Ci wrote to them to tell them about the breeding farm, hoping that they would have the opportunity to come and learn breeding techniques.
Even if my uncle and his family can't come, it's good for people from other factions to come and learn. As long as they can run the farm well, the food can be improved to some extent.
After leaving the post office, the two went to a state-owned restaurant to have a better meal.
Chu Hong urged him to ride faster: "You should ride faster, otherwise the delicious food will be sold out by others."
She even felt a little regretful that she should have come to have lunch with him earlier.
The post office isn't going away anyway, so it's okay to go later.
I just passed by the post office on my way to the state-owned restaurant. This time, the package was prepared by my family. It contained some Chinese medicine prepared by Lao Jia and Wu Xiu.
Because my uncle said in his last letter that they had a fever and a cough that hadn't gone away, and they had a lot of phlegm and chest tightness, and he described the symptoms in great detail.
We have prepared some herbs such as Peucedanum scutellariae, loquat leaves, licorice, and Aster tataricus to send over.
The usage and dosage as well as how to decoct the medicine are also written in great detail.
Gu Ci would definitely not say that it was she who said before that it was inconvenient to carry the package to eat, and it was she who urged him to send the package first.
He considered himself a real man, so naturally he had to be nice to his new wife.
Another thing is that his father-in-law is also very good to his mother-in-law, so he certainly can’t be worse than his father-in-law, right?
Furthermore, these herbs were carefully prepared by my mother-in-law and her family. If they were not available, they had to be bought. If they were not available, they had to be picked, washed and dried. It really took a lot of thought.
This made him feel particularly grateful.
"Don't worry." Gu Ci comforted her: "If the restaurant ahead doesn't have the food you like, let's go to another one."
"If it doesn't work, let's go to the black market and buy some meat and cook it ourselves."
"The day before yesterday, I heard from my second uncle that there are whole braised chickens for sale on the black market. We can try our luck later."
He was so easy to talk to that Chu Hong felt a little embarrassed: "I just said it casually. The chefs in restaurants are very good nowadays. There is no dish that is not delicious."
Of course, some meat dishes in state-owned restaurants may be sold out if you go too late, so they will naturally be out of stock.
Anyway, we sell whatever the restaurant has and what the chef cooks.
It's just like guessing blind boxes, it depends on luck.
Fortunately, they were lucky today. When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, they saw braised pork, braised chicken, braised fish, and several stir-fried vegetables written on the blackboard.
Chu Hong took out a large rice bowl and said, "Comrade, I want one portion of braised pork and one portion of braised chicken. I'll pack them in a lunch box and take them back to the office."
"I want one portion each of braised fish and dried tofu with spicy peppers, and two bowls of rice to eat here."
She had no choice but to lie.
Otherwise, people would not sell her so many delicious dishes. They would think she was wasteful and needed to be educated in the joint defense team.
After saying that, he counted the money and tickets and handed them to her.
The waiter had seen many people from the unit, so he didn't make things difficult for her. He was just afraid that the other party might be able to control his own unit.
After collecting the money and ticket, I handed in two large lunch boxes from the back and told the chef what dishes I wanted.
There was one empty table left among the five, so Chu Hong and Gu Ci sat down and waited for their food to be served.
"We are lucky today." Gu Ci was also very happy after hearing the dishes she ordered: "The good dishes are not sold out yet?"
Chu Hong also nodded and lowered her voice and said, "Let's go buy some dried tofu later."
Dried tofu is also known as dried tofu.
In their village, people take turns making a plate of tofu every few days, and those who want to eat it bring a bowl of beans to exchange for one.
Chu Hong and the others were willing to spend money and almost never missed a chance to exchange for tofu.
But no one knows how to make dried tofu, so we can only buy it outside.
But most villagers are frugal and are reluctant to spend this money.
Gu Ci nodded: "Okay, it's cold now, if you like it, let's buy more.
At this moment, a man and a woman came in from outside. The man went straight to the counter to order food and pay. The woman looked around and sat opposite them. She didn't say anything, but just nodded at them reservedly.
Sharing tables is very common nowadays.
After all, there are only five square tables here, and few people can sit down unless they share them.
Liu Anhui sat here simply because they were young, dressed neatly, and would not be so sloppy when it came time to eat that she would not be able to swallow the food.
Chu Hong didn't have any impression of her, but she knew the man who ordered the food, He Zhigang.
She had only one thought in her mind: Enemies always meet on a narrow road.
Of course, she didn't feel embarrassed to see He Zhigang again.
She just felt that their appearance made her originally happy mood a little gloomy.
Soon, He Zhigang also came over and sat down.
Now he saw them, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, but then he smiled again: "What a coincidence, Gu Zhiqing, you guys are here for dinner too? Are you all doing well? Are you busy in the countryside now?"
Gu Ci was also very polite: "Yes, everything is fine. We came to the city for a meeting and couldn't make it home for lunch, so we came here to eat."
The waiter was already there shouting at them: "Your spicy pepper dried tofu is ready."
Gu Ci went to bring it over, which included a plate of dried tofu with hot peppers and two bowls of rice.
The dried tofu is fried with red and green peppers. It not only looks good but also goes well with rice.
Then the waiter called out, "Your braised pork and celery pork are ready."
He Zhigang immediately went to bring it over and politely said to them, "You guys should have a few pieces of braised pork, too."
He thought that even if Chu Hong and the others came to the restaurant to eat, it would be good enough if they were willing to order one dish.
Maybe this is just like what my own mother said, we are not of the same class, have no common language, and are not suitable to be together.
