In the era of material scarcity, it seemed that everything was good. Looking at the lively scene at the market, Wan Feng felt that even if he went home and picked up some loess and put it on the market, he might be able to sell it.
You say people have no money, but the people who make both clothes and shoes are getting old. The shoe factory now has two new machines and one set of old machines, and they work in two shifts to produce more than 4,000 pairs of shoes a day, leaving no room for anything left.
Regardless of price, even high-end shoes that cost four yuan were sold out.
Human perseverance is truly endless. Some people, without a car to take them there, would just carry their belongings on their backs and walk to Gushan to get on the bus.
Wan Feng felt worried for them. How long would it take for them to reach Lonely Mountain with so many things on their backs?
As for the clothes from Wanfeng Garment Factory, except for those supplied to Jiang Jun, they hardly need to be taken to the market, as they are all ordered at home.
So Wan Feng had to seek reinforcements, and in addition to the garment factory, he thought of another person.
I wonder if this person is still working now?
Wan Feng rode his motorcycle to the county again and came back with a cart of things after noon.
It was almost one o'clock when we got home.
Wan Feng leaned the motorcycle upside down against the steps in front of the house, moved the things on the motorcycle into the house one by one, handed them to the master chef, gave him some instructions, and went back to the market.
His shop was much quieter in the afternoon because the tape recorders he made yesterday were almost sold out in the morning.
There are indeed not many tapes left at home this time. I wonder if Zhang Guangdong can bring him some tapes when he comes this time?
After Wan Feng sorted out the accounts and collected the money, he gave Xu Ying and the little girl a day off. Then he locked the door and went to Yang Qilang's house to get the things he had ordered, covering them with a piece of cloth and carrying them back home.
The two chefs had already cooked the dishes and were waiting for the girls from the garment factory to get off work.
The people Zhu Yong led to get off work had already finished their get off work at five o'clock.
The garment factory hasn't closed yet.
Wan Feng went to the workshop to announce the end of get off work.
"It's not time yet?" Luan Feng asked curiously.
"Today is special, let's leave work half an hour early."
Normally, the garment factory closes at 6pm, but it's only 5:30pm now.
As the girls packed up and left the workshop, they started sniffing like dogs.
"It smells so good. It seems the chef made something delicious today."
"There must be something delicious, the aroma is different."
Then a group of people rushed into the house as if they were attacking an enemy hill.
"Wow! Stir-fried meat with celery and green peppers."
"Goulash! Chicken and potato stew."
"There are also spare ribs and braised pork. Let me have a piece first..." Li Erman had just stretched out her claws when a pair of chopsticks fell into her hands without any courtesy.
"Everyone, go inside and sit properly." The chef roared.
We usually eat around the big table in the kitchen or anywhere else, with each person having a bowl and eating as much as they want. Why are we eating inside today?
As soon as the girls entered the room, they saw four tables, two on the kang outside, one on the ground, and one on the ground in the inner room.
Every table was filled with dishes.
These tables were originally intended for the girls to eat at, but they were rarely used.
Today seems to be the first time I used them all.
In the middle of the table on the ground, there was something as big as a basketball covered with a red cloth.
Wan Feng was standing next to the table on the ground floor.
Li Erman's naughty little hands were about to lift the red cloth.
"If you uncover it, you are not allowed to eat a single bite tonight!"
Wan Feng's sudden words scared Li Erman.
"I tell you I'm two people now. If you scare me..."
"Even if there are three people in your belly today, it won't work!"
"Stingy guy, if you don't want to look, then don't look. I'll sit at the table on the ground floor." Li Erman must have thought that the things covered with red cloth were extra good things, and there were none on the two tables on the kang.
Luan Feng was also a little confused after entering the house. There were too many people picking up goods in the past two days. Except for eating, they were in the workshop almost the whole day and had no idea what was happening outside.
"Improved? What day is today?"
"come over!"
Wan Feng called Luan Feng to the main seat and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Everyone is here, right? There's no room for so many people to stand on the floor. Those who need to sit on the kang should sit on the kang. Please make sure that nine people are seated at each table. The two chefs, please come in. It's your turn to eat today."
The girls who needed to go to bed did so and sat around the table.
One of the chefs also sat down with a smile, while the other chef remained in the kitchen.
Wan Feng clapped his hands and pulled Luan Feng's: "Come, today only you are qualified to lift this red cloth."
Luan Feng looked at Wan Feng in confusion, then slowly reached out and pressed on the red cloth and gently lifted it up.
The red cloth was lifted, revealing a large plate that looked like a basin. In the middle of the plate was a longevity peach as big as a basketball, steamed from white flour. The peach was snow-white, with two large longevity characters on both sides.
Looks very wealthy.
The bottom of the longevity peach is decorated with circles of red-skinned eggs.
This red-skinned egg is not the natural red-skinned egg laid by a chicken, but a bright red egg with the skin dyed red.
At this time, everyone knew that someone was having a birthday, and the host of the birthday was naturally Luan Feng.
Luan Feng first covered her mouth in shock and then pressed her hands to her chest: "Today is my birthday!?"
This guy was so busy that he almost forgot his last name, let alone his birthday.
Wan Feng nodded: "Yes, today is your birthday. I wish you happiness every year, and eternal happiness and health. Happy birthday to you."
Luan Feng's eyes were watery, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Thank you! Thank you! I never thought that my birthday could be like this."
"Come, move aside." Another chef came in with a bowl of steaming noodles and placed it in front of Luan Feng.
"This is the longevity noodles for the birthday star. There's only one noodle in the whole bowl, so you must eat it all."
"One of these red-skinned eggs for each of you." Wan Feng grabbed two handfuls of eggs and distributed one to each of them.
After the eggs are fermented, we start eating.
"Feng'er, happy birthday to you!" Jiang Min was the first to say the blessing, and then everyone expressed their blessings to Luan Feng one by one.
Luan Feng sobbed excitedly, turned over and threw herself on Wan Feng's shoulder, crying loudly.
"Okay, enough excitement for a while. It's not nice for us to cuddle like this. Didn't you see these guys have their necks stretched out like geese without blinking? What's even more infuriating is that they didn't even pay. It was all for nothing!"
Luan Feng's body twitched, and she quickly left Wan Feng's shoulder, crying and laughing at the same time.
Wan Feng took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Luan Feng's face.
"You two can hold each other for a while longer. We promise not to tell anyone outside." Someone suggested.
"Yes! Hold me for a while longer."
The girls started to make noises.
"Eat! Let's see if the food can fill your mouths." Luan Feng returned to normal and yelled.
The girls turned around and started eating.
