At eleven o'clock, the meal was ready. Lian Xiaomin hadn't had breakfast for the past few days and was very hungry.
The stewed chicken was served in an enamel basin, which was slightly smaller than a washbasin. It was full of soup and exuded an enticing aroma.
Xie Ling’s cooking skills are no worse than Yufang’s, especially since she helped with cooking at her second uncle’s house some time ago and has made a lot of good things, so she has experience.
This stewed chicken is so delicious. I saw some wide vermicelli in the utility room, so I added a little bit of it. It’s really delicious.
Vermicelli is really a magical side dish. It is also very delicious when melted into the soup.
The two little kids sat down obediently and drank a small bowl of chicken soup served by sister Xiaolingzi. It was so delicious.
Lian Xiaomin picked out two small bowls of chicken. The two of them ate it with spoons, chewing the chicken slowly while eating it with millet porridge. It was so delicious.
After taking care of the baby, Lian Xiaomin started to eat voraciously.
His mouth was filled with chicken, and he kept mumbling to his good friend to eat more.
"Lin Zhiqing, please don't be polite. We ate all the dishes in one meal. There is also a lot of sorghum rice. You can't leave the post if you don't eat three bowls! Xiao Lingzi can eat two bowls."
The rice was served in big bowls, solid and full of rice.
Xie Ling laughed: "When did I eat so much! I can eat two small bowls, but I can't eat this big bowl."
The three of them ate with great gusto. The room was steaming hot and their foreheads were covered with sweat.
When Lian Xiaomin served Lin Youshu the third bowl of rice, he was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"I was lucky enough to come here today. I didn't give any money away, but I got a good meal. After this meal, I can save money and not eat out tomorrow."
"Hey, next time I'll teach you how to set a trap to catch a pheasant or a rabbit. You educated youth can also secretly improve your food."
"…I am a hunter, so eating this is not a big deal, but I cannot let anyone know."
Lin Youshu took the bowl and said, "Don't worry. No one will know that I came to see you today. I will keep the matter of eating pheasant meat a secret. It is highly confidential! I will never betray my comrades."
In the end, the whole pot of food was eaten up, and all the soup was drunk up. Xie Ling rubbed her stomach and cried out, feeling so full that she was almost dead.
Xiaofu was beside her, imitating the action of rubbing her belly, which made everyone laugh.
In fact, pheasants are small and don’t have much meat, so it’s normal for them to eat these.
After finishing the meal and clearing the table, Lin Youshu had no food coupons and wanted to leave some money for Lian Xiaomin.
Lian Xiaomin quickly waved her hand to refuse, saying that she could not accept it no matter what.
We are all friends, it’s just a meal.
She suddenly remembered and asked, "Lin Zhiqing, do you want to buy a cotton jacket and trousers? Don't you have a ticket? I can help you change."
"...I bought it from the black market originally for my uncle, but it was too big. I'll give it to you first. You wait."
As she spoke, she went to the west room, and when no one was looking, she pretended to take out a set of black extra-thick cotton jacket and trousers.
Lin Youshu's nickname is Big Lin. He is about 1.84 meters tall, but not very fat. There are hardly any fat people these days.
Lian Xiaomin took his size, so it would definitely be a size bigger for Li Xianghai.
Bring it over and put it on the kang for him to see.
"It's sixteen dollars without the ticket. See if it can fit you. I can save myself the trouble of changing it."
The cotton-padded jacket that Yufang bought in the county town cost more than 16 yuan, but the style was good and it was sold in a department store in the county town, so it was definitely expensive.
Lin Youshu's thick cotton jacket and cotton pants are of the simplest style, but the fabric is very strong and durable.
"Master Lian, is it really that cheap? Even with a ticket, the price is low. Besides, I don't have a ticket. It should be quite expensive, right? How can it be only 16 yuan? Cotton tickets and cloth tickets are not cheap..."
"Hey, don't worry about the ticket. We've known each other for a long time. We're all friends. Just take it. It's sixteen dollars!"
This is already half a month's salary for a worker.
Lin Youshu was very touched. He knew that Master Lian was a man of honor and that he must have paid for the ticket.
From now on, Shen Yuanchao and the others will not be in the village anymore. If there is any work needed, such as collecting firewood, please take care of Master Lian.
"Okay, I'll take it. Thank you, Master Lian! I see you don't have much firewood at home, so I'll get you more one day. And if you need any help in the future, don't forget to call me."
He gave the money to Lian Xiaomin, took the clothes and left. Before leaving, he said that he must keep it a secret when he gets back and say that he had secretly changed them at the black market today.
After seeing Lin Youshu off, Lian Xiaomin returned to the house, but Xie Ling did not plan to go home immediately after finishing her meal.
Her brother and sister-in-law knew that she came to see Lian Xiaomin, and when they saw that she did not go back home for lunch, they knew that the meal was for her younger brother and sister-in-law.
It was good for Lian Xiaomin to have her as company. In fact, no matter how you look at it, it was not easy to lose three good friends in the village all of a sudden.
It makes me feel more lonely. These are the only ones I get along with.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Lingzi was about to leave. She said that she wanted to go to her uncle's house to see if she could hear any new news.
Lian Xiaomin sent her out.
"Okay, go ahead. If you have any new news, let me know!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely tell you first."
Lian Xiaomin returned to the house, locked the door, and took the two little kids into the space to take a bath.
The weather is cold now. I am afraid of getting cold if I take a shower outside. It is best to take a shower in a private bathroom.
The children also loved playing in the water, and they played endlessly until almost five o'clock, when they were finally fished out, wiped clean, put clothes on, and put back on the big kang after leaving the room.
I ate too much at noon, so I plan to have some porridge in the evening.
Lian Xiaomin had just cooked the porridge on the small stove in the house, and before she could bring it to the table, she heard the gate being knocked again.
