Chapter 75: Eating at a State-Owned Restaurant
Su Zhenhua opened his mouth, wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
He knew that if he really separated from Lu Wan so clearly, Lu Wan would definitely be unhappy.
The truth is that I am too poor.
From now on, he has to find a way to make money. With an empty pocket, I can only daydream about giving my wife a good living condition.
At this time, Su Zhenhua didn't know that one day in the future, he would have more money than he could spend.
"Okay, when we get back to the real estate team, we'll go ask my uncle to apply for a residential plot. When the house is built, your name will be on the household registration." Su Zhenhua said.
Lu Wan knew what Su Zhenhua meant. This guy was not afraid of taking advantage of her.
After marriage, two people become one family and there is no need to separate them so clearly.
But for many women, if they marry someone who doesn't know how to cherish their kindness, they should be careful.
You know the face but not the heart, including your pillow, you never know whether he will plot against you.
"Okay!" Lu Wan responded.
However, Su Zhenhua was in a dilemma again. "I have the money to build a house, but it's hard to get bricks and tiles. I'll go back and ask my uncle if he has any connections."
Speaking of this, Lu Wan wanted to think about what her parents told her when they left.
Lu Jun has a friend in the village. If Lu Wan encounters any difficulties that cannot be solved, she can directly find this friend of her father.
Lu Wan said, "My dad knows an uncle here. Leave your address and send him a telegram. He should be able to get bricks and tiles for us. My dad said that this uncle is very capable and can get anything. Bricks and tiles should not be difficult for him."
Su Zhenhua thought that the dowry given by Lu Wan's parents was obtained by Lu Jun from this friend.
A commoner can even make rare and large items like a sewing machine and a radio, so getting some bricks and tiles is probably not difficult.
Su Zhenhua nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the post office with you later and we'll send a telegram."
"Well, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat first, and then go to the post office after eating."
Su Zhenhua then noticed that it was getting late, it was already past noon, and regardless of whether he was hungry or not, he couldn't let Lu Wan go hungry.
So Su Zhenhua nodded, "Okay, let's go eat first, then go to the post office."
"Um!"
As they talked, they entered the state-owned restaurant together.
Su Zhenhua had heard of state-owned restaurants, but he had never eaten in such a place.
Not only he had never been here, but most of the people in the countryside had never been here.
To eat at a state-owned restaurant, you need money and a ticket.
There is no money in the countryside, let alone tickets.
Although they were rich and had tickets, eating in a state-owned restaurant was very expensive and few people could afford it.
The two found an empty table and sat down.
The waiter came forward and handed over the menu.
Because of limited supply, the menus of state-owned restaurants are constantly changing. They sell whatever is available that day, and many dishes are not available every day.
Lu Wan took the menu and asked Su Zhenhua, "What do you want to eat?"
"You can eat anything, you're not picky. Wanwan, you can decide what you want to eat, and I'll follow you and eat a little."
Lu Wan knew that Su Zhenhua was indeed not picky about food.
Not only Su Zhenhua is not picky about food, no one in the countryside is picky about food.
Sometimes we can’t even get enough to eat, and we go hungry one day and full the next. What qualifications do we have to be picky about food?
Only when material living water improves and everyone can fill their stomachs will they be picky about what is delicious and what is not.
Lu Wan looked at the menu. There was no need to order too many dishes for two people, otherwise it would be a waste if they couldn't finish them.
"One dish of braised pork elbow, one dish of stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup." Lu Wan ordered two dishes and one soup.
The waiter nodded, then asked, "Do you need anything to eat?"
Lu Wan doesn't have a big appetite and doesn't eat much.
But Su Zhenhua was young and strong, and he could eat a lot.
Lu Wan ordered two bowls of rice and a steamed bun.
She ate a bowl of rice, and Su Zhenhua ate one more white flour bun than her, which should be enough.
If the food is not enough, eat more vegetables.
Lu Wan remembered that the portions of food in state-owned restaurants in those days were still very large.
After hearing this, the waiter nodded and said, "Okay, comrade, I'll serve the two of you over here."
Lu Wan and Su Zhenhua waited for a while.
It was already past mealtime, and both of them were already rumbling with hunger.
Fortunately, the dishes were served soon.
The pork elbow was stewed in advance. It was just taken out of the pot at this time, still steaming, and the aroma was very tempting. It seems that the chef has good skills and the pork elbow is well colored, which makes people look appetizing.
Although Su Zhenhua had eaten a lot of delicious food following Lu Wan during this period, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the delicious pork elbow.
"Eat quickly!" Lu Wan greeted Su Zhenhua with a smile.
Su Zhenhua nodded, "Okay, you can eat!"
Both of them were very hungry, so they ignored their reserve and started to eat heartily.
After a hearty meal, Lu Wan rubbed her stomach with satisfaction.
Because Su Zhenhua was there, not a single dish was wasted. Not even a leaf of vegetable was left on the plate, and the seaweed egg drop soup was drunk up completely.
The soup from the pork elbow was not wasted. The two of them mixed it with rice and ate it. It was indescribably delicious.
Unfortunately, there was only a little left and I couldn't pack it up to take away. Otherwise, Su Zhenhua would definitely not be willing to waste this oily soup base.
After eating and drinking, Lu Wan called the waiter over to pay the bill.
"Hello, comrade. The total is three dollars and fifty cents, plus a pound and a half of meat coupons and a pound of grain coupons."
Maybe she was used to the prices in the 21st century. When she heard the price quoted by the waiter, Lu Wan couldn't help but sigh, it's really cheap.
He readily took out the money and ticket from his pocket and handed them to the waiter.
Su Zhenhua secretly took a breath, lamenting that it was really expensive to have a meal in a state-owned restaurant.
It's no wonder Su Zhenhua has such an idea, because in the countryside, a family can only earn a few dozen yuan a year at most, and the worse ones can only earn a dozen or twenty yuan. The money they earn in a year is not enough to buy a few meals in a state-owned restaurant.
At the same time, Su Zhenhua became more determined to find ways to make more money.
Otherwise, based on his current income, he would have to rely on his father-in-law and mother-in-law to help him support his wife.
After two meals, after coming back from the state-owned restaurant, I went straight to the post office.
Lu Wan sent a telegram to Uncle Xu at the address left by Lu Jun, explaining her identity and request.
Before Lu Jun left, he made a point of greeting Uncle Xu and receiving his telegrams. He promised that Uncle Xu would do his best to help in any way he could.
After sending the telegram, Lu Wan showed no intention of leaving.
Seeing Lu Wan seemed to be thinking about something, Su Zhenhua stepped forward and asked, "Wan Wan, what's wrong?"
Lu Wan said, "I want to buy some stamps for my collection."
Nowadays, if you buy a few stamps, they will be treasures and very valuable if you leave them for future generations.
She vaguely remembered that in her previous life, when her father was older, he loved collecting these rare stamps.
