Chapter 11 State-Owned Hotel
There were already many people queuing up in front of the supply and marketing cooperative to buy pork. Xu Wanning planned to go to the non-staple food area to buy some snacks first. The snacks Xu Li brought for her when she went to the countryside were almost finished.
Xu Wanning walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and found that there were not many people in the grocery area. There were only two sales clerks sitting there, chatting and knitting sweaters.
When the two salespeople heard her coming, they continued to knit their sweaters leisurely. One of them said to her without even looking up:
"Just choose what you want to buy!"
"I'm still busy!"
“…”
Xu Wanning was simply speechless. The salespeople of the 1970s were truly amazing. Although I'd heard that the service provided by salespeople of that era wasn't very good, now they were not providing service anymore...
Xu Wanning was too lazy to argue about it, and finally bought two pounds of peach cakes, a pound of glutinous rice noodles, and a bag of sugar candy. After paying, she went to the state-owned restaurant to meet Lin Qiqi and the others.
Lin Qiqi whispered, "Ningning, you're finally here! I just heard from the waiter that there will be a limited supply of braised pork and braised spareribs at noon tomorrow!"
"Hello, comrade. I'd like one serving of braised pork, one serving of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, one serving of braised spareribs, and a bowl of rice."
As soon as Lin Qiqi finished speaking, the waiter immediately picked up the notebook and said to them while recording the accounts:
"Comrade, braised pork is 2.70 yuan per portion, spicy and sour potato shreds are 40 yuan per portion, spare ribs are 2.10 yuan per portion, and rice is 30 yuan per portion, for a total of 10 yuan."
Xu Wanning was dumbfounded, "Qiqi, do you want to finish all this food?"
Lin Qiqi smiled innocently: "Ningning, you underestimate me too much. I feel like I can eat an entire cow right now."
"The food at the educated youth camp has been really bad lately. Look, I've become so thin from hunger!"
"Ningning, what do you want to eat?"
Xu Wanning smiled faintly: "Comrade, I'd like a serving of braised pork, a serving of stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of rice, thank you!"
"Comrade, braised pork is 2.70 yuan per serving, stir-fried vegetables are 20 yuan per serving, and rice is 30 yuan per bowl, totaling 3.20 yuan." The waiter's attitude was not very good, but he was much more reliable than the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Xu Wanning quickly took out three yuan and twenty cents from her pocket and handed it to the waiter.
About half an hour later, the waiter came over and called out:
"Your order is ready, hurry over and serve it!"
Xu Wanning was dumbfounded when she saw the dish. The portion was too big. A large bowl was filled with fat and lean braised pork, and the rice and stir-fried vegetables were the same amount.
The braised pork was fat but not greasy, tender in the mouth and with a long aftertaste. When Xu Wanning tasted the braised pork, she realized that she had bought too little. Next time she should bring a lunch box to pack a portion.
In the past, it was difficult to eat such delicious braised pork in modern times, not to mention in this era of material scarcity, it was not easy to make braised pork so delicious.
"Xu Wanning, you little bitch!"
Just as Xu Wanning was enjoying the food, she suddenly heard a sharp curse in her ears.
When I looked up, it was Song Jiaojiao, that psychopath, again.
"Song Jiaojiao, you deserve a beating, don't you?"
With a bang, Xu Wanning slammed the chopsticks on the table. This was really endless. She had to teach Song Jiaojiao a lesson today, otherwise she would provoke her again and again, thinking that she, Xu Wanning, was easy to bully!
"You, what are you going to do? There are so many people here. Xu Wanning, just try to hit me..." Song Jiaojiao was instantly scared. She was still deeply impressed by the last time Xu Wanning beat her.
The moment she saw Xu Wanning just now, she couldn't help but curse out loud.
Xu Wanning said nonchalantly, "What do you think I'm going to do?"
"You, don't come over here..."
"Ah, ah, help! Someone's killing someone!"
As soon as Xu Wanning walked in front of Song Jiaojiao, Song Jiaojiao turned around and ran out like crazy...
