Jiang Wenwan took out five meal tickets and handed them to the waiter, who then filled all five lunch boxes for her.
He was quite nice and handed her the lunchbox.
"Comrade, everything's installed for you."
"Thank you, you're really efficient!"
The waiter smiled when he heard her say that. Jiang Wenwan was just about to ask if they bought wild chickens or something.
Then someone came in carrying a gray rabbit through the door.
The waiter approached with a smile and said:
"Master Zhang, you've brought over some mountain produce for our head chef again!"
This rabbit looks quite plump, could it be a female?
The middle-aged man named Zhang San waved his hand.
"No way, you can't beat a baby in spring, do you think I don't know that?"
I raised this rabbit at home all winter, how could it not be fat?
Oh dear, I won't do that stupid thing again next time. I raised this thing all winter, and it ate a lot but didn't grow much.
"I haven't gained much weight; if I sell them to you, I won't even earn back the money I'd spend feeding the rabbits in winter."
"Haha, I'll go weigh you right now, and I'll make sure you're tall."
Some men in the restaurant, who knew that Master Zhang, were joking with him.
"Third Master, are you crazy? There are rabbits all over the mountain, why are you raising them at home?"
Zhang San waved his hand and sat down at the table with that man. The man opposite him poured him a small cup of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
"You think your Third Master is really that badass?"
I was thinking that if I could raise them well, I could raise more next year to expand my breeding operation.
As a result, hey, you see, we didn't even make back the money we spent feeding the rabbits. What a waste!
Jiang Wenwan listened from the side, wanting to laugh, but she now knew that this state-run restaurant actually accepted wild rabbits. She could send some to them next time.
If that doesn't work, she'll take it to the market every Tuesday to exchange for something.
I bought five lunchboxes of steamed buns to eat slowly at home. I also ordered a pork stir-fry with cabbage and a bowl of rice.
A large plate of stir-fried pork and cabbage was served, and Jiang Wenwan could tell from the look of it that she couldn't finish it all by herself.
Not to mention there was also a large bowl of rice.
It was the same waitress from before, now with a ponytail. I smiled immediately when I saw her.
"Comrade, I can tell from your appearance that you are a sent-down youth, right?"
Jiang Wenwan, hearing that her words were forthright and not meant to mock her, and also hoping to get closer to her, smiled wryly and said:
"Comrade, you have a good eye. My surname is Jiang, and I am indeed an educated youth who came to the brigade just the day before yesterday."
This huge bowl of rice and this huge plate of vegetables are different from what we have back home; I'm afraid I won't be able to finish this.
"Haha, it's okay, wait a minute."
As the waiter spoke, he turned and went into the kitchen, bringing her a cabbage leaf. It looked like the heart of the cabbage, and it was still quite crisp and tender.
Jiang Wenwan watched as she handed her the cabbage leaves and said:
"Here you go. If you can't finish it, just use these cabbage leaves to wrap the rice and vegetables, and that'll make a rice wrap."
I'll find you some long strips of oil paper to wrap it up; you can take it home and eat it for lunch.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenwan burst into laughter. This was exactly what it meant to encompass everything.
"Ma'am, your idea is really good!"
"Haha, what's so good about it? That's how we eat it here, it's normal. If you add some scallions and dip it in soybean paste, it'll be delicious. You should try it sometime."
Jiang Wenwan had never eaten it before and didn't know what it tasted like, so she nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll have to give it a try later. By the way, what's your last name, big sister?"
If I catch a rabbit in the future, can I bring it over? Do you buy them here?
“My surname is Liu. If you can really get your hands on some rabbits in the future, we’ll take them. Why wouldn’t we?”
Rabbits are 2 yuan per jin (500g), and they must have the skin on.
However, you can also sell me the rabbit pelts separately.
As she spoke, she winked at Jiang Wenwan and continued:
"Flying dragon is 4 yuan per jin"
Pheasants are 1 yuan per jin (500g).
Roe deer are 50 cents a pound.
Venison is 1.5 yuan per jin (500g).
Bear paws are 20 yuan per jin, bear meat is 1 yuan per jin, bear gallbladders are around 500 yuan, and first-grade fox pelts are 30 yuan.
"Hey, Liu, you've really gone too far. Don't you even realize that this girl is a sent-down youth from the city?"
She'd have a hard time catching a rabbit, let alone a pheasant, let alone a roe deer, a deer, a bear, or a fox.
You're really funny, hahaha.
After Sister Liu finished speaking, the man she had called "Master Zhang" made himself laugh.
The young man at his table also shook his head with a smile.
Sister Liu rolled her eyes.
"You've given me a laugh, so I'll just pretend I'm reciting it again, okay?"
He turned to Jiang Wenwan and smiled heartily, saying:
"They meant no harm. That's Master Zhang, a well-known forest ranger captain in our county, and a very skilled marksman."
Jiang Wenwan nodded to that Third Master Zhang.
"Hello, Master Zhang. I've heard so much about you."
"Haha, don't listen to her nonsense, Xiao Liu. All I know is how to set a trap, but no one dares to fall for it."
"That's still impressive."
The man opposite Master Zhang looked at them, took a sip of his drink, and said:
"Hey, why aren't you guys introducing me?"
"Go away, you good-for-nothing, what's there to introduce? Just drink your wine!"
Don't think I don't know what you've been up to lately. Let me tell you, take it easy.
Otherwise, the police force won't be a pushover.
Besides, if you really like someone, you should find someone to act as a matchmaker. I don't approve of your underhanded methods.
Jiang Wenwan clicked her tongue; this person was so direct.
However, she had no intention of listening to what the other person was saying, and after eating half a bowl, she couldn't eat anymore.
The original owner of this body had a small appetite, but she's been eating more gradually, since she used to have a large appetite.
So it becomes this: your stomach is full and you can't eat anymore, but your mouth still wants to eat.
Wrap the remaining rice in a vegetable leaf, then add the remaining cabbage and pork, and it's all wrapped up perfectly.
After she finished eating, Sister Liu wrapped her in an oil paper.
After leaving the state-run restaurant, she went to buy noodles, and also bought some oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar.
Since I've already mentioned the items I took from home, it might arouse suspicion. It's better to buy new ones instead.
I bought a new basket and put them all together.
She returned with these things before noon, and when the villagers saw her like this, they all shook their heads.
When they returned, Hu Qinghua had not yet come back.
After locking everything up, she headed straight up the mountain.
She was already panting heavily when she reached the foot of the mountain.
"Sister Jiang, what brings you up the mountain?"
At the foot of the mountain, a group of children were playing, among them garlic sprouts.
"I'm off today, so I thought I'd come up the mountain to see if I could catch any rabbits or pheasants, so I could at least have some meat."
The children looked at her in surprise after hearing what she said.
Garlic Sprouts' face was all scrunched up like a bun.
"Sister Jiang, you're really thinking about the rabbit?"
"The rabbit runs so fast, we can't catch it."
"That's right, and there are also animal traps set by hunters in the mountains, it's very dangerous, we can't go there."
"Yes, yes, my mom said I can't go into the mountains, so I can only play here."
