Chapter 19: Finding the Captain
"Who can refuse the delicious food made by Grandma Bai?" Tang Wan sighed after taking a sip of porridge.
Grandma Bai's eyes lit up and she looked at Tang Wan.
"I came here today to tell you about this. I wonder if you would mind having dinner with you?" Aunt Tang Wan leaned forward slightly closer to Grandma Bai, as if she was acting coquettishly.
"You little girl, you're teasing me. Eat quickly. After you're done, I'll take you to tell the team leader." Grandma Bai couldn't stand it any longer and raised her hand to knock on Tang Wan's head, with a helpless look of indulgence.
"Okay, let's make a deal first. I will hand over five dollars a month along with meat coupons and grain coupons, and then my grain will also be distributed here." Tang Wan said as she drank red bean porridge.
Grandma Bai’s cooking skills are truly amazing, and the food is much better than anywhere else.
"It's too much. No." Grandma Bai refused.
"Not much. A youth in the youth education center can earn several yuan a month by living in someone else's house. Moreover, he is a male youth and gets more work points and more food than me. You know, I don't have many work points either." Tang Wan hurriedly told what she had heard in the morning.
"Don't try to fool me. That male educated youth only earns three yuan a month, and he rarely gets any coupons. He eats much more than you." Grandma Bai said.
Tang Wan didn't expect that Grandma Bai knew more about Liu Zhiqing's partnership than she did.
"With the amount of food you eat, two dollars a month will be enough." Grandma Bai waved her hand.
"No, that won't work. The food here is so good. Even state-owned restaurants can't match yours. They have white flour for every meal. Two dollars is not enough. I won't eat here if you give me two dollars. I feel embarrassed to take advantage of you." Tang Wan said in an orderly manner.
"Think carefully, the male educated youth only spend three yuan on food. If I charge you five yuan, everyone in the village will say that I am cheating people at my old age." Grandma Bai said ambiguously.
Grandma Bai is right.
"But your food is good..." Tang Wan reminded.
"How about this, you don't give me five dollars, and I don't give me two dollars. Let's just give me three dollars like that male educated youth." Grandma Bai made the decision.
"Okay." Tang Wan said nothing more.
At most, she could just buy more food. But it would be really unpleasant to say that her meals here cost more than those of the male educated youth.
But Tang Wan knew in her heart that the food here was worth a higher price.
After this matter was settled, Grandma Bai seemed to have resolved a major issue in her heart, and she happily took Captain Tang Wanqian there.
Grandma Bai thinks that he is difficult to approach, but he is still quite popular in the village.
I always say hello when I meet people.
A gossipy old woman saw Grandma Bai and Tang Wan and asked curiously, "Grandma Bai, where are you going with Tang Zhiqing?"
"Captain Tang, please let Zhiqing Tang eat at our house." Grandma Bai didn't hide it at all, but said it loudly and happily.
This is not something that the villagers need to avoid, but a good thing.
A male laborer in the village only earned a few dozen yuan a year, and less than eight yuan a month. However, if an educated youth lived with them at home, they could earn several yuan a month, which was more than what a city dweller could earn in a month. In addition, they were given extra tickets, sometimes even industrial tickets that they could not get.
So it seemed normal for Grandma Bai to be happy at this moment.
"That's really a good thing. Tang Zhiqing must be impressed by Mrs. Bai's craftsmanship. She is very good at pickling pickles." The old woman said to Tang Wan again.
