Cao Dewang immediately lost his composure after hearing this. How could he let his wife take advantage of others? He quickly took out money from his pocket and handed it over.
"Wife, if you want to eat meat buns, we'll pay for them."
Li Xiaoyan saw the crumpled money and wondered how long it had been in her pocket. "Cao Dewang, how did you get the money?"
Cao Dewang scratched his head. "This is the money I earned from selling scrap metal last time. I wanted to save it to buy you a hair ornament!"
Lin Qiaoqiao felt full. It turns out that no matter which era, there is love that spreads food. She coughed lightly.
"I told you guys I'll treat you guys to steamed buns. If you don't let me treat you, how can I get a ride next time?"
Li Xiaoyan was very touched. Although Cao Dewang was not good-looking, he was really kind to her. They also fell in love with each other over time.
"Just keep this money. I'm waiting to bring you the hair flower you bought for me. As for today's meal, it's between us sisters. You can't get involved!"
Cao Dewang then put the money away. Since his wife already knew about it, he had to buy a head flower at a good price, so he decided to find another way to earn some more money.
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't want to eat any more food, so she decisively took Li Xiaoyan's left hand and Qin Chuchu's right hand and ran straight to the state-owned restaurant not far away. Just by looking at the sign, she knew there must be a lot of delicious food inside.
As for Qin Ling, he is the oldest child and has always been with them, so they don’t have to worry about him.
It seems that people passing by are carrying steamed buns in their hands. I haven’t eaten white flour steamed buns for a long time, so I plan to buy some to take back.
After entering, I saw a lot of tables in the lobby, with about thirty or forty people sitting there, some with several people and some alone.
Li Xiaoyan swallowed her saliva and said, "The meat buns here are delicious. I've only eaten them once!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "Which one do you want to eat, the meat buns or the braised pork?"
Li Xiaoyan was stumped by the question. Braised pork is definitely delicious, but steamed buns are not bad either!
"Then let's eat both!" Lin Qiaoqiao is a carnivore. Since she is here, she naturally wants to eat well in the restaurant.
They chose a seat near the window so that they could see the carriage outside. It was also interesting to see Cao Dewang sitting there in a proper manner. After letting the two children sit down, Lin Qiaoqiao asked Li Xiaoyan to sit opposite them.
"I'll go order the food, you just watch them!"
Li Xiaoyan also recovered at this time, "Don't buy the braised pork, it's too expensive! Just buy me two buns, I'll eat one and my Dewang will eat one!"
"Okay, stop it, I haven't eaten yet!" Lin Qiaoqiao left decisively. It was her first time to eat in a state-owned restaurant. There was a big blackboard hanging on the wall. What was available in the restaurant was marked on it?
A meat bun is 8 cents, a vegetarian bun is 5 cents, and the braised pork is 80 cents. The prices are still quite expensive, but since you are out here, you have to eat well.
He watched how others ordered and paid, so she did the same. She ordered 10 steamed buns, a portion of braised pork and a bowl of rice. Since she only ate meat, she had to have some vegetables. She also asked for a large plate of cold dishes that cost ten cents.
Rice, vegetables, and buns are all ready. After paying the bill, the waiter will pack the food and put it on the tray. As for the bowls and chopsticks, they are placed on the right side of the counter. You can take them at will. They look quite clean. The waiter will come out from the kitchen to replenish the stock at any time and put the clean bowls and chopsticks back.
I took four bowls and four pairs of chopsticks. Considering that I had to give two to Cao Dewang, I asked the waiter for a paper bag. There were no plastic bags at that time. No matter what I bought, I either put it in a paper bag or put it in a cloth bag.
In one go he brought the tray back and placed it on the table.
"Why did you buy so much, including some cold dishes!" Li Xiaoyan was not a pretentious person, so she picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Lin Qiaoqiao, "There are two buns for your Dewang. Do you want to send them to him? Or call him in to eat?"
Li Xiaoyan, "Just keep those two buns for him. We bought so much, it would be terrible if we can't finish them. Eat them quickly so we can take the bus back earlier, isn't that enough?"
Lin Qiaoqiao did not try to persuade them. It was true that it was easy for so many things to be lost if they were piled outside. It would be better to have someone watch over them.
A large portion of rice was more than I expected. It was a whole plate filled with rice, which looked like about 3 bowls.
"Would you two like to eat rice?"
Qin Ling looked at the big bun, his attention was all on it but he just didn't have the courage to take it.
Qin Chuchu, "Rice, buns!"
Lin Qiaoqiao decisively served them all rice, and then shared some braised pork soup with them, and gave each of them a big bun.
"Eat! Eat to your heart's content today!"
Qin Ling took a bite of the bun. The meat filling was so filling that it was juicy and tasty. It also tasted so good that he was overwhelmed with the food. He had never eaten such delicious buns before.
After Lin Qiaoqiao tried the buns, she felt that they tasted just average. Today she bought enough seasonings, and also had animal oil and soybean oil. As long as the dough was fermented well, the buns would definitely taste better than those sold here. She was confident of this.
The braised pork is pretty good and goes well with rice.
Seeing that they were so relaxed, Li Xiaoyan also relaxed and ate whatever she wanted. However, she didn’t eat much of the braised pork. With only a few pieces, how could she compete with the children for food?
They all ate their fill. After Lin Qiaoqiao finished her last bite, she said to Li Xiaoyan,
"I'll go buy some more steamed buns."
"Please bring me five too! I'll give you the money!" Li Xiaoyan took out a handkerchief from her pocket, opened it layer by layer and took out the money inside. She took out two dimes, and then took out one or two grain coupons. After confirming that everything was correct, she handed it over.
After Lin Qiaoqiao took it, she went to the counter and asked for 15 big steamed buns. She just packed the last tray, so the people behind her had to continue waiting.
I have to say that the steamed buns are quite big, otherwise so many people wouldn’t come to buy them.
Holding the paper bag in both hands, Li Xiaoyan happened to look over here and nodded to her.
Li Xiaoyan understood what she meant and took her two children to meet her.
Leave the state-owned hotel and head straight for the carriage.
Cao Dewang saw his wife coming back with oil on her lips, so he knew she had eaten a lot. Then a paper bag fell into his arms, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a meat bun.
"Why did you bring me buns?"
"Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold!"
Lin Qiaoqiao began to organize the things in the carriage, otherwise where would the four of them sit? It didn't seem like much when I bought it, but now it seems like a lot.
Cao Dewang looked at his wife. In this man's mind, no matter how delicious the food was, he had to let his wife eat it first.
Li Xiaoyan burped and waved her hand at him, "I don't want to eat anymore, you eat it!"
Cao Dewang then took out a bun, tightened the paper bag again, and put it in his pocket. He was going to give the bun to his wife in the evening.
Seeing the man's actions, Li Xiaoyan was confused and quickly took the bag out of his pocket.
"What are you doing? If I eat buns in the house tonight, what will your mother think if she finds out? So you'd better eat now! I was too full just now, and now I can't eat another bite, don't let me eat!"
