"Auntie, I want to make a phone call to you."
"Call, call, little girl, let me tell you first, this call is quite expensive, so you better keep your words short!"
The old lady reminded.
Alas, ever since she became the telephone administrator, she has seen countless people who treat making phone calls as a means of chatting, and in the end, even if she took out all the money she had, it would still not be enough.
What a sin!
Looking at the fair and tender girl in front of her, the old lady couldn't help but reminded her again.
"Girl, you must pay attention to the time!"
"Okay, okay, Auntie, I know." Wanwan replied while dialing the number that she knew by heart.
"Hey, help me get to the Hongri Family Compound and look for Chen Jing, Commander Chen."
"Hold on."
After waiting for about three minutes, the phone next to Wanwan finally rang again.
"Hello, is this my daughter?" Meng Mu's hearty and loud voice came from the receiver.
"It's me, Mom."
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"received."
The next five minutes were all one-sided, with Meng Mu wanting to know how her daughter was doing in the countryside.
"Mom, how are you and my dad doing? You two should take good care of your bodies... Oh, by the way, we are backed by mountains. When your daughter has time, take her to the mountains for a walk and I'll buy you some mountain products." Wanwan said cheerfully.
Unfortunately, Meng's mother refused. They didn't lack this little thing. It was said that there were big white tigers in the forests of Northeast China. With her daughter's small body, she was not even big enough to be slapped by one of them.
Alas, Meng's mother felt that she had endless worries every day. In the past, her daughter was too shy and quiet, and she was afraid that her daughter would suffer. Now that her daughter is so fierce, she began to worry about her daughter's safety.
Finally, after repeated warnings from Meng Mu, Wanwan had to promise not to run into the deep mountains and forests.
The aunt next to her was very anxious. The girl had just agreed to it, so why didn't she look at the time?
After a while, Wanwan finally hung up the phone with both Meng's mother and Wanwan reluctant to leave.
"The total is five dollars and thirty cents." The aunt in the phone booth said angrily.
Alas, with so much money, I can buy several kilograms of meat!
Wanwan was also shocked by the phone bill. This was her first time making a phone call since she traveled through time, and she had no idea the bill would be so high.
Wanwan walked out of the telephone hall feeling sorry for her own little treasury.
After Wanwan procrastinated for a while, it was already noon. Wanwan had only eaten two buns in the morning, and her stomach was now growling with hunger.
She didn't plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative anymore, as she had everything in her space.
But since we're going to a state-owned restaurant soon, we still have to put in some effort.
Quite a few educated youth came today. Most of them probably came just to have a bite to eat. I think they will get to know many people in this state-owned restaurant soon.
After thinking for a while, Wanwan walked into a deserted alley and put a piece of pork weighing about five pounds and more than ten pounds of flour and rice into her basket.
Well, that’s it. The surface work should be almost done.
Just as Wanwan was about to step out of the alley, a sneaky old lady suddenly came out from the depths of the alley.
She was holding a basket tightly in her arms. After she finished carrying the baby, she hid the basket inside, while watching Wanwan with a vigilant look.
Wanwan suddenly had an idea. Could this be the black market?
Touching her hungry stomach, Wanwan suddenly made up her mind.
First, go to the black market to explore the area, then go to the state-owned restaurant to have a meal, and finally take your luggage directly to the ox cart.
Wanwan secretly made up her mind.
After disguising himself, he quickly walked deeper into the alley.
After walking for about ten minutes, I saw a small doorway not far away blocked by two young men.
Walking forward, I heard two young men ask
"Buy? Sell?"
"For sale, for sale." Wanwan gently lifted the curtain on the basket.
A snow-white scene came into the young man's sight.
Fatty pork, rice and flour as clean as snow.
The two guys looked at each other and seemed to have made a tacit decision.
"Auntie (well, no doubt, Meng Beiwan's makeup is that of an auntie), do you think this will work? Your stuff is good stuff, and my brother and I are really short of these things at home. Do you think you can sell it directly to us brothers?" The young man said tentatively.
"It depends on how much money you can spend. As long as the money is right, what's possible?" Wanwan said casually.
"Auntie, how about this? Rice is 30 cents a pound, flour is 40 cents a pound in the black market, and this pork is fat meat, how about I give you one dollar?" the young man negotiated.
"Since you two brothers are honest people, I'll just take advantage of the situation today and sell it to you two. Pay the money and we'll get the goods!" Wanwan said without question.
"There are ten pounds of pork in my basket, and ten pounds each of rice and flour. That makes seventeen yuan in total. Do you think my calculations are correct? You two can weigh them."
After the two brothers handed the money to Bei Wan, they weighed it with their hands. For people like them, weighing with their hands is a special skill.
They looked at each other and there was absolutely no problem with the weight.
After the two sides exchanged money and goods, Wanwan said goodbye to the two guys and prepared to leave. She was really hungry.
"Then I'll leave. If I find anything good in the future, I'll come back to you two."
Wanwan left a promise and walked towards the exit in a swagger. When she reached a hidden corner, Wanwan turned around and entered the space.
Sure enough, not long after, several young men came chasing out.
"Hehe, you still want to catch your aunt? Maybe in the next life!" Wanwan said proudly.
After they left, Wanwan came out of the space and then walked straight to the state-owned restaurant. She had been busy all morning and her stomach was really upset!
As soon as Wanwan entered the state-owned restaurant, she walked towards the ordering counter.
After all, the state-owned restaurants in the county are not as big as those in Taipei, and the variety of food is not very wide.
After looking at the order board, Wanwan decided to order these dishes!
"Comrade, one serving of braised pork ribs and a bowl of wontons will be fine."
"Okay. Find a seat and sit down. I'll call you to serve the food later." The waiter was not as attentive as modern ones, and could even be said to be a little indifferent.
But he is not as arrogant and domineering as described in many historical texts.
Anyway, for Wanwan, the service attitude is okay.
After ordering, Wanwan prepared to find a seat to sit down and enjoy her lunch.
Wow, Wanwan's guess was right. At this time, there were really quite a few "old acquaintances" sitting in the state-owned restaurant.
