Chapter 140: Saving money to marry a wife
Where did Lin Sanqi go to get cold drinks? Of course, he traveled back to 2013 to get them.
After passing through the door, Lin Sanqi returned to modern society.
Just as I was about to go out, I saw the scorching sun outside and backed off. Even though it was the end of August, the summer in the south was not something that most people could endure.
Fortunately, there is the almighty takeout.
Lin Sanqi used his mobile phone to order a KFC takeout, including grilled Orleans chicken wings, fried chicken legs, popcorn chicken, iced cola, and a sundae, which cost him a full 200 yuan.
Then I spent another 150 yuan and ordered a small ice cream cake.
After more than half an hour, the delivery guy came running. After Lin Sanqi got the food, he threw away all the outer packaging of KFC and cake shop, put them on the wooden pallet, and quickly traveled back to 1959.
40 minutes of 23 years, 59 years is just a blink of an eye.
When Lin Sanqi opened the gate and came back, the three Pan siblings were sitting at the door feeling anxious.
"Oh, brother-in-law is back. Wait, brother-in-law, what smells so good?"
Pan Ren was a relatively active boy. Looking at the pocket in Lin Sanqi's hand and smelling the aroma of meat, he couldn't help but drool.
Lin Sanqi chuckled and waved his hand: "Let's go back to the house and don't let outsiders see us."
In the house, when Lin Sanqi filled the table with original chicken nuggets, grilled chicken wings, cola, and ice cream cake, the three siblings of the Pan family were shocked.
Pan Ren swallowed his saliva and wiped his eyes:
"Am I hallucinating? Where did all these delicious foods come from? They smell so good."
Lin Sanqi laughed heartily. Knowing that the little guy wanted to eat but didn't dare to reach out, he took a chicken nugget and said, "Eat it."
Girls prefer sweets, and their eyes light up when they see the small round cake.
Lin Sanqi took a few serving plates and cut the cake:
"Come on, come on, don't be polite when you come to my house. Eat cake. This one is ice cream flavored. You have to eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt."
Pan Cen turned around in surprise and shouted, "Big sister, there are strawberries on it."
Pan Ye had countless questions in her mind, but after all, she was only 20 years old, and it was hard for her to resist the deliciousness of the cake. She took a bite and immediately narrowed her eyes:
"Mmm, it's icy, cool and sweet. It tastes really good. I've never tasted anything like it before."
Lin Sanqi was very happy to see that the Pan siblings were satisfied, so he continued to be the host:
"Come on, everyone, try this ice drink. It's cola. Isn't it delicious?"
“It’s delicious…”
The three siblings of the Pan family played in the waterside pavilion of the Gege Mansion for a whole day. They had to go home near dusk. In the traditional thinking of people in that era, not going home at night was equivalent to being a bad child.
At the entrance of Beimencang Hutong, Lin Sanqi is ready to send it here.
Pan Ren and Pan Cen were very smart and ran away laughing. Of course, they didn't run far. They just peeked around the corner.
Pan Ye lowered his head, blushing softly and said:
"Lin Sanqi, thank you for your hospitality today. I was able to enjoy delicious food that I have never tasted in my life. I am very happy."
Lin Sanqi also chuckled:
"In ancient times, a red-dust horse made the concubine smile. Today, if you can be happy, then all my efforts are worth it. However, you and your brothers and sisters must keep this a secret. If outsiders knew about it, I'm afraid it would cause another uproar."
In order to keep the secret, Lin Sanqi didn't even invite his nephews and nieces to eat KFC together.
Before, every time Lin Sanqi took them out to eat, the little ones were heartless and would tell their parents when they got home.
This was also an important factor that led to Lin Laoer's mental imbalance. He felt that the money Lin Sanqi squandered came from his parents' private subsidies, and the division of the family property was unfair.
Lin Sanqi was a little wary of his second brother.
In 1959, the atmosphere was actually quite open, and nothing "unspeakable" happened.
But Lin Sanqi was a time traveler, and he knew that things would be easier to predict in a few years. Could his second brother and his wife betray his youngest brother out of jealousy or a desire to climb the social ladder? This was highly likely.
At the same time, Lin Sanqi also feels that what kind of parents you have will determine what kind of children you have.
As a snobbish parent, his niece Lin Zhenzhen may not become close to her uncle when she grows up.
In that special era, even one’s own children could not be relied upon, let alone nephews and nieces?
So now we have to let the two kids suffer.
Pan Ye nodded heavily: "Well, don't worry, I know you are a capable person, but some of your abilities may not be exposed to the public."
Lin Sanqi was shocked when he heard this and quickly explained, "Let me be clear, I'm not an enemy spy. I just have some connections with people in the black market."
Pan Ye burst out laughing when he heard this and gave Lin Sanqi a reproachful look:
"Are you stupid? You should be grateful for what you've eaten. My sister and I ate the most chicken nuggets, cola, and ice cream today, so don't we become accomplices? Haha. Besides, what's wrong with eating something delicious? Do you have to be poor to look great? Some people these days are too extreme."
Lin Sanqi gave a thumbs up: "Well said, you are a college student after all, you have insight."
Pan Ye lowered his head again, twisting his hair with his fingers, and seemed to have mustered up his courage before he spoke:
"However, Comrade Lin Sanqi, you must stop spending money lavishly in the future. You must save your money..."
After saying that, the little girl ran away like the wind without even saying goodbye.
Lin Sanqi was stunned at first, but then he smiled bitterly. He had understood the meaning of Pan Ye's words.
The girl was reminding him that if they were to be together in the future, they would need a lot of money to get married, so he had to be frugal in order to marry a wife, and not spend all his money on food and money and harm his health.
Lin Sanqi stood at the entrance of the alley, sighed softly, and then turned back home...
When I got home, Lin's father and mother were already preparing in the pavilion.
To be precise, it was Jin Caifeng who was busy preparing dinner. As for Dr. Lin, he was sitting in the yard with a fan, enjoying the cool air while listening to the radio.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
Lin Kucan saw Lin Sanqi, then looked at the oil-paper bag in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring the beef back?"
"I brought it back. The tenderest neck."
When Lin Kucan heard this, he patted his youngest son's shoulder and said, "Hey, good boy, if you have the ability, go cut the meat quickly."
Neck meat refers to a piece of meat on the neck of a cow.
This is the piece of live meat that cows exercise most frequently, accounting for only 1% of a cow (not every cow has it).
The neck kernel is fat and lean, with marble-like texture, tender and fatty taste, very fresh, sweet and crispy, and is very popular among gourmets in Dongguang Province. It is mainly used for hot pot.
Tonight the three members of the Lin family are having hot pot.
Dongguang people like to use clear soup when eating hot pot, so when Jin Caifeng prepared the copper pot, he shouted:
"Husband, pour the spring water in quickly."
"Okay."
Lin Sanqi took out a kettle and poured all the water into it, bragging:
"Son, do you know what kind of water this is? It's not the tap water in our unit, nor is it the well water in the courtyard. It's spring water from Yuquan Mountain. Good thing, I even had to ask an elderly patient to get it for me. Now spring water has become a special supply."
After checking the information, Lin Sanqi asked curiously:
"Is this the Yuquan water specially supplied to the Qing emperor? Then I must try it. This is the same treatment as the emperor."
Jin Caifeng didn't care:
"Isn't it because most of the well water in the old city is bitter? When we finally get some sweet water, we treasure it. How can it be as delicious as the water back home?"
Lin Kushen agrees with this:
"Yeah, it's not as good as our hometown, a land of fish and rice, with abundant seafood and all-you-can-eat fruit. Here in the north, there's nothing you can ask for. But we have a lot of sandstorms every year. Every time we open our mouths, our mouths are filled with sand. Hahahaha."
Lin Sanqi had already cut several plates of meat by this time and took out a portion of dipping sauce from the box.
Lin Kucan knew that what his mysterious youngest son had taken out was definitely not an ordinary item, so he dipped his chopsticks in it and tasted it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up:
"Ah Feng, try it. We haven't had this shacha sauce for over ten years. Why does it taste like Beiyuan?"
Jin Caifeng tasted it and nodded repeatedly, "Oh, it's so authentic. We haven't had it in years."
The old couple tacitly agreed not to ask too many questions. They just wanted to enjoy the life with their children and grandchildren around them and were unwilling to break this balance.
"Well, thanks to Qizi, we can taste the delicious food from our hometown again today. Come, let's drink this to our youngest son."
The three members of the Lin family raised their glasses of rice wine and clinked them together.
Jin Caifeng put down her wine glass and started to cook the beef. Beef hotpot in the south usually only needs to be dipped in boiling soup for 8 seconds, which is very fast and can ensure the freshness and tenderness of the beef to the greatest extent possible.
Lin Kushen picked up the beef his wife had cooked, dipped it in the shacha sauce, and then let out a sigh of relief:
"I'm finally alive. For so many years I could only eat this in my dreams. I'm getting old, and my biggest dream is to return to my hometown in Huadu to retire. I wonder if I'll have that chance again."
Lin Kucan is 53 years old, which is not considered too old.
But after experiencing so many ups and downs, Doctor Lin has long been tired of it. Now all he wants is to retire to the mountains and never care about worldly affairs again.
Lin Sanqi also agreed. It would be best if his parents could return to the south as soon as possible. This Sijiuli will be a prosperous world in the future, and it may not be a good place for people like Lin's father and mother who lived in a small Western-style building back then.
But he couldn't say it, so he had to keep many things in his heart and take things one step at a time.
The Lin family had a delicious beef hotpot. The water pavilion was some distance away from the yard, so the aroma of the hotpot could not reach the yard, so they enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Lin went back to the yard to sleep.
Lin Sanqi passed through the space gate and returned to 2013.
There are a lot of Cordyceps sinensis in his channel space. If they are sold in a mess, the real ones may be mistaken for fakes, so they have to be packaged luxuriously.
There is also a bank procurement business introduced by Yin Lianyi, which Lin Sanqi must implement quickly to avoid any further complications.
Lin Musen also waited for his son to come back early, and then went to inspect the Cordyceps market together.
