Chapter 108 It’s your bad luck, Lin Tao
Ye Yuanzhang sent Yun Qiao to the outside of the fifth company’s camp and left.
Yun Qiao went to Captain Yang's house to ask him to cancel his leave, and also gave Qin Guifen some of the fried radish meatballs made by his aunt Li Qiuqiu.
Qin Guifen immediately pinched one and tasted it, praising it highly: "They are all fried radish balls, but how come your aunt's are so burnt and crispy? The ones I fry are burnt when eaten hot, but become hard when they cool down. I can only make meatball soup with them, not eat them plain."
Yun Qiao shook his head: "I don't know either. I'll ask my aunt later."
"Okay." Qin Guifen said, "Please ask for my advice."
Arriving at the educated youth dormitory, Wang Ru was the only one in the room, so Yun Qiao casually asked, "Sister Ruru, why are you alone? Wen Jing is not here?"
Wang Ru said, "Wen Jing went to the market in Xishe again today. She probably won't be back until dark."
Yun Qiao felt strange because Wang Ru was not the only one in the dormitory. She also met two other female educated youth when she walked in. There were not many female students in this group of new educated youth, and most of them were in the dormitory.
So he asked, "Who did she go with?"
"Qi Chunyi and his sister, as well as Li Tengfei and Lin Tao."
Yun Qiao said "Oh" and said, "She and Qi Chun have reconciled again?"
"After all, they are cousins. Even if they have a falling out, it's normal to make up again," said Wang Ru.
Yun Qiao nodded and stopped asking.
In the evening, Zheng Wenjing came back from the market in the village. Her face was red from the cold, but her smile was unusually bright: "Yun Qiao, you're here!"
"Yun Qiao, Sister Ruru, guess what I brought you from the club!"
Zheng Wenjing was a bit of a glutton, so Yun Qiao tried to guess: "Is it food? Or something else?"
"That's right, it's food!" Zheng Wenjing nodded: "Guess what it is?"
Wang Ru was the first to guess: "Jerky? Sausage? Apple? Frozen pear?"
Zheng Wenjing laughed and shook her head, saying, "No, no, neither. You guessed wrong."
Yun Qiao: "Sweet or salty?"
“Sweet.”
"Sugar? Mung bean cake? Sachima? None of them. What is it then?" Yun Qiao guessed a few and got them all wrong.
Zheng Wenjing had kept everyone in suspense for a long time and took out a piece of cream cake from her bag.
“Ding ding ding~ It’s a cream cake!!”
The cream cakes in the 1970s were completely different from those in later generations. They were rectangular, and the cream was not soft and dense, but a bit hard, with a thin layer spread on a thick base.
But even so, it is an extremely rare thing. If you can eat a piece of it one day, it will be something you can show off to others for a long time.
"Cream cake? Where did you get it?" Yun Qiao was also surprised.
She didn't expect Zheng Wenjing to actually buy a cream cake.
After all, the grocery store of the company only has some common pastries and no cream cakes for sale!
Zheng Wenjing placed the cake on the table and said, "I bought it at the market in Xishe."
"There are cream cakes in the grocery store of the company?!!" Wang Ru was surprised.
"The food department at the company doesn't have it," Zheng Wenjing explained. "A young man sold it to me. He said he got it from Harbin."
