Chen Ming, who hadn't eaten cream cake for a long time, had his eyes light up when he took the first bite. Although the taste was different from what he had eaten before, as a straight man, he couldn't resist the charm of sweets.
The coffee with a lot of sugar added has a rich aroma and is not bitter at all. Paired with ice cream, this novel combination also makes Chen Ming feel very good.
The two of them spent thirteen yuan and seventy cents on a meal, and the most expensive item was the bottle of Coke. According to the current salary of the general public, this meal cost the two of them half a month's salary of others.
If it were an ordinary state-owned restaurant, you could have eaten many meals there.
However, when it came time to pay the bill, Xu Manman came by herself, saying that she could now earn money.
When Chen Ming tried to resist, he was given the task of buying fruit in the compound tomorrow.
Carrying the cake box into the dormitory, the third and fourth brothers, two locals, had gone home. At this time, only the eldest, second and fifth brothers were there. The three of them were studying the spoils they bought today.
The fifth brother Yang Yang heard the noise and turned around, just in time to see Xu Manman - with the cake in her hand.
He suddenly jumped up and wanted to hug Xu Manman, "Ah! It's Lao Mo's cake! You are so kind, youngest."
Xu Manman was so scared that she stepped back and quickly handed the cake over.
Yang Yang took the cake but didn't rush to open it. He first took out the money for the cake from his pocket and gave it to Xu Manman, and then began to prepare to enjoy her cake.
There was only a small piece of cake, and Yang Yang ate it very carefully. He scooped a little with a spoon and put it into his mouth, closing his eyes in ecstasy. "Hmm~ This is the taste."
Let her enjoy the food. Xu Manman walked to the middle table where a lot of things were placed. "You bought so many things today."
Xu Manman looked carefully and found that the materials above were mainly made of cloth.
The boss picked up a piece of floral cloth with a smile on his face, "Yes, we are lucky today. The supply and marketing cooperative just happened to have a batch of defective cloth, and we don't need a ticket.
Youngest, you can make clothes. Can you help me take a look at this piece of cloth and make a little skirt for my sister?
You can never go wrong with a floral skirt. Xu Manman found a piece of fabric in the same color and said, "You can use this to add a doll collar or a lotus collar on it."
The eldest brother compared the two pieces of cloth and said, "It's really good. Otherwise, the youngest one would be said to be smart."
Xu Manman looked at the second sister who was holding a piece of light yellow floral fabric on the other side, "Second sister, this is also very good for making a braid."
Cai Mei nodded. "I thought so too, but there's not much fabric here, so the braid can't be made too long."
Xu Manman unfolded the fabric and estimated the size. "It's enough to make a short-sleeved skirt. The hem doesn't need to be too wide, it should reach just below the calf. As for the collar, white will do."
Cai Mei was delighted when she heard that. "Manman, can you help me cut it when the time comes? I'm not sure about the size myself."
"OK."
Then the eldest and second oldest took other fabrics and asked Xu Manman for her opinion. The three of them had a great time discussing.
At this time, the fifth brother Yang Yang, who had finished eating the cake, came over and said, "Youngest brother, I bought some too. Can you help me see what I can make?"
Xu Manman looked over and said, "This is Dacron."
"Yeah, I spent a long time bidding for this one."
"This is best made into a shirt."
After hearing this, Yang Yang said naturally, "But I don't know how to do it. How about you help me do it, and I'll give you money."
Xu Manman was stunned when she heard this, and her smile faded. "I have quite a bit of fabrics over there, and my cousin and I are waiting to make our summer clothes. I'm afraid I don't have time to help you."
She had just agreed to help her second sister Cai Mei make clothes, which was a piece of cake for her, but Lao Wu asked her to make clothes as a matter of course. Although she was paid, Xu Manman felt uncomfortable.
This is different from when the educated youth asked her to cook. At least at that time everyone helped her a lot, and their attitude towards asking people for help was also very good.
Yang Yang, who was careless, didn't notice anything wrong. She looked at the eldest and second brothers who had a lot of cloth piled in front of them. It was obvious that they didn't have time to help her.
"Ah? Then I'll ask Fourth Sister someday. She said the shop where she often makes clothes has pretty good craftsmanship."
Xu Manman nodded and did not express any other opinions.
The eldest and second brother, noticing something was amiss, exchanged a glance. The eldest brother spoke to ease the atmosphere, "Manman, what did you eat at Lao Mo today?"
Xu Manman's complexion returned to normal and she told everyone about the dishes she had eaten today.
Huang Lijuan, the boss, clicked her tongue and said, "You ordered so much, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
