Chapter 82 Treat
After leaving the 58 Farm Hospital, Yun Qiao stood by the road, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings. He turned and asked Wei Xing, "Sister Wei Xing, where are we going now?"
Although she had come to the East is Red Hospital with He Tingjun once before, she followed He Tingjun the whole time and only went to the state-owned hotel and the city after leaving the train station. She never came to the hospital and was completely unfamiliar with the environment here.
If the sun hadn't been hanging high in the south, she wouldn't have been able to tell the directions.
Wei Xing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner first, then go to the market to help digest the food. Afterwards, we can go to the bathhouse. I haven't showered for almost a month, and my body is itchy."
Zheng Jing looked around blankly: "But where is the state-owned restaurant? I can't see it."
Yun Qiao knew this, and she immediately said, "The state-owned restaurant is a little north of the train station."
"So where is the train station?" Zheng Jing had no idea where the train station was.
It was still night when this group of educated youth arrived at the Dongfanghong Station. As soon as they got off the train, Captain Yang drove them onto a truck like ducks and took them to the regiment headquarters. They didn't even have a chance to catch a glimpse of the Dongfanghong Station.
She had no idea where the train station was located in Dongfanghong.
Yun Qiao said, "It is located at the southernmost part of the world."
Wei Xing nodded. "Yes, the train station is at the southernmost end of the city, and the state-owned hotel is also there. We're currently at the headquarters, which is on the north side of the city. But the city isn't big, so it'll only take us about ten minutes to walk there."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Zheng Jing couldn't wait to eat the pork elbow.
With the big elbow hanging in front, the group walked very fast and arrived at the destination in no time without feeling tired.
When we arrived at the state-owned restaurant, October passed by and there was a big red paper with the words "Happily welcome National Day" pasted on the glass at the entrance.
As soon as I pushed the door open, a burst of hot air immediately rushed out from the crack.
It was just past eleven o'clock, not yet lunchtime, and there were few customers eating in the state-owned restaurant.
As soon as Yun Qiao and the others entered the room, the waitress from the restaurant came to greet them with a smile.
With a smile on her face, she said in a warm and generous voice, "Ladies, please come in. There is a big table inside the box. The tables outside are narrow and can't accommodate all of you."
Yun Qiao glanced at the table in the hall. It was indeed a long, narrow table. Placed against the wall, it could only seat four people at most. Even with a stool to the side in the corridor, it could only seat five.
The waitress led them to the private room, which was at the innermost part of the hall. It was a small room separated by thin wooden boards. The space was not big, with only a square table and four benches.
Yun Qiao and the others took off their scarves and hats and sat down, two people sitting on a bench, and finally Wang Ru was left sitting on a bench alone.
She was quite happy: "I'm the only one sitting on a bench. It's spacious and I don't have to squeeze with others. Hahahaha."
As the saying goes, "too much joy leads to sorrow." She sat too close to the edge, and as soon as she sat down, the other end of the stool lifted up.
She slid to one side and screamed "Ahhh" in fear. Fortunately, the waitress held down the other end of the bench in time.
"Big sister, please sit in the middle. You can't sit too close to the edge of the bench if you're sitting alone."
Wang Ru was embarrassed and her face turned red: "Damn it, I know."
The waitress smiled, helped her sit down, and asked, "Ladies, please order. What would you like to eat?"
"Big pork elbow!" Zheng Jing immediately raised her hand: "I want to eat braised big pork elbow!"
"We don't have pork elbows," the waitress said. "There's a happy event at Farm 58 today, so the pork elbows from the meat processing plant have all been sent to the farm cafeteria."
"But we have braised pork and braised pig's trotters. Which one do you want?"
"Braised pork, braised pork!" Zheng Jing and another female educated youth said in unison.
"Then let's have the braised pork." Wei Xing made the final decision: "The pig's trotters are all bones, with not much meat."
"Braised pork for 80 cents per portion, with a meat coupon for half a pound." The waitress continued, "Braised pork trotters with soybeans, 60 cents per portion, no meat coupons required."
Yun Qiao said decisively: "Give me one."
The waitress asked, "Do you want more braised pork?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zheng Jing immediately said, "Pig's trotters, too."
Wei Xing also nodded: "Tuo."
You must take advantage of the free meat tickets!
In the end, Yun Qiao and the others ordered a total of six dishes. In addition to the braised pork and braised pig's trotters, they also ordered a stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, a stew of pork with sauerkraut and blood sausage with vermicelli, a scrambled egg with tomato sauce, and a large pot of fried meatballs in sour soup. The snack was a bowl of rice per person.
This meal was so sumptuous that it could rival the New Year's Eve dinner. The final bill came to a little over four yuan, along with coupons for one and a half pounds of meat and one and a half pounds of fine grain.
Everyone ate voraciously in the restaurant, finishing every last drop of food in their bowls and plates. In the end, everyone was so full that they kept burping and holding their stomachs.
The sound of burps came one after another, and everyone smiled at each other, no one laughing at anyone else.
Wei Xing got up to pay the bill. When she came back, Yun Qiao untied her purse and asked her, "Sister Wei Xing, how much did this meal cost in total? How much does each person need to exchange? I'll give you the money now."
"No, you don't have to pay." Wei Xing said quickly, "This meal was discussed by all of us before we came here. We're treating you, so how can we ask you to pay? Hurry and put your wallet back."
"How can this be possible?" Yun Qiao felt very embarrassed.
This meal would cost at least four or five yuan, and if each person shared it, it would be fifty or sixty cents, which is not a small amount.
This money is enough to eat in the company canteen for three days.
