After enough joking, we agreed to come over tomorrow to help her buy winter vegetables and honeycomb coal.
We are preparing the things for today's dinner party. We agreed on it yesterday and a few friends came over to work together.
I could hear them laughing at the door before daybreak.
There is not much difference in age between them, so why does he look so childish compared to Brother Yibei?
"Jiang Jiang, give me your food and coal purchase book. I'll go to the coal shop later and see when they're free to bring you some coal."
Erbei took her ticket and several people pushed their bicycles out together.
If you don't know, you might think she wants to buy a lot of cabbage. It would take several people to ride their bikes, but the supply of cabbage is actually limited.
Every winter, the capital city has a joint department to coordinate and direct the centralized marketing of winter-stored Chinese cabbages. They set up a department with the intriguing name of "Autumn Vegetable Command."
Divided into city and district levels, the city's autumn vegetable command center is headed by the deputy mayor, and is attended by leaders from multiple departments including the Planning Commission, Commerce Commission, Finance Bureau, Price Bureau, Vegetable Company, Traffic Management Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Environmental Sanitation Bureau, and Meteorological Bureau. The "specifications" are quite high-end.
It is easy to imagine the status of cabbage in the hearts of northerners.
Winter cabbage is divided into grade one, grade two, grade three and other grades and displayed separately for citizens to purchase according to quantitative grades.
Before being put on the market, the Price Bureau has already graded and priced the cabbages. The cabbages sold in bulk are called winter-storage cabbages, which are subsidized by the government and are relatively cheap. The disadvantage is that several grades of cabbage must be purchased in a mixed format.
And there is a quantity limit, you can't buy as much as you want.
Bargained dishes are also called high-priced dishes, and the prices are not cheap without subsidies.
Ordinary people are very frugal in their lives, and the prices of negotiated vegetables are still very cost-effective compared to a few months ago.
In the capital in winter, neatly stacked cabbages are everywhere, basking in the sun.
At night, you should cover it with something to prevent it from freezing hard and being inedible.
There are special ways to cook frozen cabbage in Northeast China, either stewing it or dipping it in sauce.
The temperature in the capital is not high enough, so the cabbage usually turns into soup after freezing and thawing, and the taste is extremely delicious.
This year she planned to ask her grandma to pickle sauerkraut, so she asked Erbei and the others to buy a few more vegetables.
Thinking about her alone, 30 vegetables would definitely be enough to eat, even enough for pickled cabbage.
"Jiang Jiang, take a look at where the code should be placed. You don't have to do anything, we'll be done in a few seconds."
There was a chicken stewed in a large wood-fired pot. It was the authentic free-range chicken she had bought from Siping before.
Sticking a circle of pancakes on the edge of the pot should be enough, no matter how edible it is.
No wonder several of them wanted to go together. She was eating alone and they bought more than a hundred vegetables.
What does that mean? A head of Chinese cabbage can weigh 3 or 5 jin (approximately 100 catties), and some of the best ones can weigh around 10 jin (approximately 100 catties).
It gives her a headache just thinking about how long it will take her to finish eating all these old cabbages.
You can cook it in a stir-fry, stew or use it as stuffing. No matter how you eat it, it is still cabbage, and you really can’t eat it.
The master from the coal shop came to deliver coal. When he entered the door, he saw a group of young men stacking cabbages and he chatted with them!
"Hey, man, there are so many elderly people in your family. Is this amount of cabbage enough? If not, go buy some more vegetables at a bargain price. A little more expensive is better than nothing. I heard that eating less vegetables in winter can cause night blindness."
After the uncle from the coal shop rode away on his bike, a few people were ready to buy some more, but they were stopped by Jiang Cha, who was serving the dishes.
Time passed quickly, and she returned with the seafood and kelp from Qing City.
The day before going to work, she took the initiative to ask the section chief about his current situation and whether she could go to work.
"It's okay. Remember not to mess with the newcomers when you come tomorrow."
The sentence was incoherent and Jiang Cha couldn't understand it.
"Are you Jiang Cha?"
"yes!"
When I entered the office, I saw a pretty boy. Who is he and why is he here?
I ignored him and started packing my things.
The table has been so dirty for two months that it is unbearable to look at. After cleaning it, it is another day of slacking off.
"Jiang Cha, you dare to come back? If I don't get rid of you today, I won't be named Wang."
"Come on if you can! If not Wang, what's your last name? You're not going to change your last name to Jiang like me, are you?"
I ran into them when I came back. I don't know what happened to that guy surnamed Wang. I was a little generous because of her stimulation. She actually said that people nowadays are not so good. They don't respect the elderly and love the young as they did back then!
"Your daughter has eloped, and you still have the nerve to accuse me of being disrespectful to the elderly and loving the young."
She ignored him, so at worst she could go home and vent her anger.
"Is that what I'm doing? I'm afraid others don't know that your daughter ran off with that pretty boy?"
"You, you, you, you", shaking like a Parkinson's disease.
She was forced to stay in the guesthouse in the cold weather, unable to go home. She came to pick a fight right after work, and even if the incident got out of hand today, she was still right.
"Isn't this inappropriate? Comrade Jiang, Xiao Wang and I are already married, please respect us. Don't talk nonsense, after all, my Xiao Wang is pregnant!"
The pretty boy I met right after entering the factory, is he really the deputy factory director's son? He doesn't look like a good person, and look how long it took, and he already has the job.
"Who are you? Do I know you? You're married, but marriage can't change the fact that you eloped and had affairs. And, Deputy Director Wang, I remember all the retaliation you inflicted on me!"
This matter is definitely not over. If his son-in-law, the pretty boy, has another lover in the future, who knows if he will come to trouble her again!
"Xiao Jiang! Don't say that! The two kids were already engaged. They were younger before, so shouldn't they get married right away? It's not what you're saying, about having an affair!"
The deputy director emphasized that his daughter had been engaged for a long time, and he intended to use this excuse to cover up the fact of elopement.
"Whether your daughter eloped or not is obvious to everyone. If nothing happened, why would you take revenge on me?"
After saying that, she looked at the deputy factory director. She knew that if they fell out this time, there would be more trouble in the future.
But she really couldn't stand it. He couldn't just take it out on her when his family had problems. Was she the valve core? Was she specifically responsible for taking out his family's anger, or did he think she was easy to bully?
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm telling you, my father is in the military. Be careful, or I'll make you angry and you'll suffer the consequences!"
Jiang Cha looked at the pretty boy in front of her, she was sure that he was not from their original compound!
Judging from his face and the way he stood, he didn't look like he came from a compound. If you said he came from a club, you might believe it.
"I want to see how you make me look good!"
