"What do you want to eat? We have everything here." Zhao Yi handed her a menu with handwritten text on it.
You have to go to the window to order food here, but there is a menu at each table, so you can take a look at it first without having to stand at the window.
It's dinner time, so there are a lot of people. If everyone is looking at the menu at the window, it will be difficult for others to order.
Hu Xiaoman took it and took a look. There were quite a lot of dishes on it, but she didn’t like many of them.
"I'll order a steamed sea bass. You can choose something else." She said and returned the menu.
Zhao Yi thought about it, looked at the dishes, then got up and left.
It seemed that they went there to order food, but since they went to the window to order, Hu Xiaoman didn't know what they ordered.
She looked at the agency store across the street, said something to Zhao Yi, and then went out.
I bought two bottles of soda, which was only 1.5 cents a bottle, but I couldn't take the bottles away.
Hu Xiaoman gave a two-cent deposit and said he would go back to deliver it after dinner.
Zhao Yi saw that she bought a soda and didn't say anything. The two of them sat on chairs and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Of course, it was Hu Xiaoman who was looking at the scenery, and Zhao Yi was looking at Hu Xiaoman.
"Ms. Hu, how old are you this year?" He mustered up the courage to ask her.
Hu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Eighteen years old."
This isn't some secret that can't be told, it's just about age...
In fact, her mental age is already over 30, haha!
Hearing this, Zhao Yi smiled and said, "Really? I'm 23 years old this year. Don't I look very mature?"
There was a joking tone in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.
Hu Xiaoman took a closer look at him and said, "I don't think he looks old. He looks quite young."
Zhao Yi looks a bit like a young handsome guy in later generations, with round deer eyes and an innocent look.
The way he speaks and laughs makes people feel particularly friendly, a bit like the brother next door.
Zhao Yi didn't expect her to answer so seriously and look at him carefully.
He felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and his ears turned red.
Hu Xiaoman noticed this and thought to himself: Why are little boys of this age so easily shy?
Although Lu Jianghe also likes to be shy, he is the one being teased by himself.
But she didn't say anything to Zhao Yi, she just told the truth.
While the two were talking, a number was called out at the window. Zhao Yi took a look and quickly got up and went over.
Hu Xiaoman originally wanted to help, but when he saw him carrying the tray alone, he sat down.
In addition to the steamed sea bass she ordered, there was also a braised lion's head dish.
Two bowls of rice, filled to the brim.
"I don't know what you like to eat, but the lion's head here is delicious. You can try it."
Zhao Yi served her the meal, laid out the dishes, and then sat down.
Hu Xiaoman replied: "I can eat anything. I'm not picky."
She has only one standard for eating: as long as it doesn't taste weird, she can eat it.
As for food, just eat until you are full.
Zhao Yi nodded, then sat down to eat.
The two of them didn't talk while eating, except that Zhao Yi asked her to pick up the food and eat it by herself.
After dinner, Zhao Yi suggested, "Secretary Hu, let's go see a movie together?"
Only then did Hu Xiaoman realize that there was a movie theater across the street. There were quite a few people at the door, and it seemed that the show would open soon.
But she shook her head and said, "No, Secretary Zhao, thank you for treating me to dinner today. This is a small gift from me, please accept it if you don't mind."
She handed over a paper bag, the contents of which were invisible.
Zhao Yi was rejected at first and felt bad, but when he saw her giving him a gift, he felt happy again.
"Well, Mr. Hu, let's meet again next time!" He felt a little reluctant.
Hu Xiaoman is pretty and speaks quietly (pretending), I really like her.
After living in the south for so long, he still likes the generosity and decisiveness of northern women.
Hu Xiaoman nodded, waved goodbye and left. He first went to return the money for the bottle and then returned to the hotel.
She is going back tomorrow, and this time she is a little anxious, thinking about her brother Lu at home!
On the other side, Zhao Yi watched her leave with a smile on his face.
He opened the bag and found two cans of food inside?
It looks quite big, but I don’t know what’s inside.
Because there is no packaging on the outside, it is obvious that the product came out of the factory through backdoor channels. This is nothing new.
When he got home and opened the cans, he found that they were both canned braised lion's head meat...
When did their factory start producing this kind of canned food?
But it shouldn't be local, it might be something from other places.
He felt that Hu Xiaoman must have given it to him because he thought he liked braised lion head.
Thinking of this, he felt happy.
actually……
Hu Xiaoman simply felt that the braised lion's head in the restaurant was not tasty, so he wanted him to try this canned food, which must be better than that one.
The next morning, Hu Xiaoman went straight to the train station and bought a ticket for the train that would depart at noon.
Before leaving, she bought some more things.
She has to stock up on some goods when she goes back this time, otherwise she can't keep going like this.
Apart from rice, soybean oil, the rest of the items in the space are snacks, and there isn't much else to sell.
It’s impossible to sell snacks; the packaging is the problem.
While looking at jewelry on the second floor of the department store, Hu Xiaoman suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"It's you!" Chen Yuping looked unhappy. What a narrow road for enemies!
Hu Xiaoman glanced at her and said, "Are you looking for me?"
Chen Yuping rolled her eyes and said, "Who's looking for you?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman turned around and continued to look at the jewelry. Things of this era were very ordinary, mainly because all the industry was used for development, and it was impossible to make jewelry.
Apart from some plastic combs and hairpins, I didn't go into further detail.
After all, developing other things is more important, and these are secondary.
Chen Yuping followed her gaze and her eyes lit up when she saw the dazzling array of accessories.
Which girl doesn’t like shiny accessories?
No girl would refuse!
"Do you want to buy it? It's such an expensive thing." She looked at Hu Xiaoman with a sarcastic look on her face.
Today Zhou Xueming's mother gave her ten dollars, an amount of money she had never had before!
She was surprised at the Zhou family's wealth, but also very happy. The Zhou family must have been optimistic about her as a daughter-in-law, otherwise why would they give her a big unity all of a sudden?
He also let her go shopping and buy whatever she wanted.
When she was at home, Chen Yuping only had five dollars of pocket money every month, and she still had to dress herself up!
So, she is nothing good at all.
Now I am wearing all my belongings. After all, I have come to the big city and want to marry Zhou Xueming, so I must pay attention to my image.
As Mrs. Zhou, she can buy whatever she wants.
