Gou Suisui could be said to be very surprised. She had never thought that He Nansheng would come to Hebei Province. It was even such a coincidence that she saw him as soon as she got out of the station.
"You didn't mean to pick me up, so you took the goods sent to Hebei Province?"
Even though Gou Suisui took the train from Province C to Qing Province, she still knew that there were no highways in this era.
Not to mention expressways, even national highways rarely have cement roads, and are now basically dirt roads.
However, if some local officials are forward-looking, they may call on residents living near the national highway to pick up gravel or pebbles to pave the road.
He Nansheng took the luggage bag from her hand and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Of course, I'm hoping you can become my regular employee sooner, so you should be more proactive, right?"
He weighed the luggage bag in his hand inconspicuously. It didn't seem heavy when he saw her carrying it just now.
Once it was in his hands, he realized that the package was not light.
Gou Suisui smiled and asked him, "You didn't just arrive in Hebei Province today? How many days have you been here?"
After the New Year, I drive to deliver goods. Even if I don’t count the income from carrying things for people on the road, the income from red envelopes will still be higher than usual.
But few people are willing to do so.
I know that if he didn't want to pick me up, he probably wouldn't have taken this trip.
She knew exactly how He Nansheng felt about her, as they had been together for quite some time.
He Nansheng smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "It takes two days to get here from Qing Province, right? There's nothing good to eat on the train. Are you hungry? I'd like to take you to try the famous donkey meat hotpot here. I wonder if you'd be able to get used to it?"
Gou Suisui had never eaten donkey meat, but she was not picky about food.
After all, I had been hungry in my previous life, but I tried my best to make my life more comfortable when I had the conditions, including food.
"I haven't eaten it, you can try it."
He Nansheng took Gou Suisui not to a state-owned restaurant, but to a small and remote alley where there was an iron stove at the door of a house in the corner.
The person watching the fire was a rather old grandmother, but she looked quite energetic.
"You can start preparing the dishes I ordered earlier." He Nansheng said this as he led Gou Suisui over.
The grandmother stood up from the short bench, her eyes passed over He Nansheng, glanced at Gou Suisui, and blinked.
Then he said, "Sit inside and warm yourself by the fire and wait for a while."
As soon as they entered the house, a little girl of about twelve or thirteen led them past the kitchen in the outer room and into a side room in the yard.
The little girl brought a pot of water for the two of them, and they let her go and play by herself.
He Nansheng washed their cups while saying, "This little restaurant has been running secretly for a few years. I've been here before. Almost everyone in the government compound knows about it, and I come here a few times a month."
Gou Suisui suddenly realized that this seemed to be the reason why this small restaurant could survive, after all, it had been named after the government compound.
Well, no matter what era, there is always a way to make money.
The bolder the people, the more fertile the land.
After waiting for half an hour, the old man who was cooking at the stove brought the dishes over with a tray.
He smiled, said hello to the two people and left.
He Nansheng picked up some food for Gou Suisui and looked at her: "Would you like to try it?"
Gou Suisui raised his eyebrows and stuffed the food into his mouth. It was unexpectedly delicious.
It can even be described as delicious.
Only then did Gou Suisui look at the plating and the dishes: "What is this?"
He Nansheng lowered his voice and said, "The old man used to work in the imperial kitchen."
