Chapter 8 Characteristics of the Times



"Er Gouzi?" Nanqiao asked when he saw Taohua showing such a rare expression of disdain.

“就村子里的一个二流子,30多岁没媳妇儿,我听村子里的婶子说他和他娘一直想给家里娶个知青媳妇儿,所以一直耽误到现在。长得丑还不肯好好下地挣工分,每天一到饭点儿就在村子里溜达,闻着谁家饭香就站门口不肯走,不给吃的他就骂,我听我妈妈讲我小的时候有一次要到我家里了,那时候我家还很穷,没吃的能给他,他就站我家门口扯着嗓子骂,最后还是二哥揍了他一顿,打怕了这才没在在我家这边出现”

Nanqiao listened to Taohua's scolding and could imagine how annoying this person was. However, seeing Taohua's angry expression was also very cute, so he took out a White Rabbit from his pocket and fed it to Taohua when she wasn't paying attention.

"The little girl has to be sweet, and we don't care about the bad things."

Taohua tasted the sweet candy in her mouth and instantly forgot about the second-rate guy she was talking about just now. She looked at Nanqiao with a smile in her heart and eyes and couldn't help thinking, "Beautiful sister Nanqiao gave me sweet candy again. Sister is so nice. She is the best person to me besides my parents and my second brother. When sister goes to work, I must help her with work."

Just as Nanqiao and Taohua were strolling leisurely in the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Nian ran out with a lot of bags.

The three were very surprised at each other's state.

Nanqiao and Taohua didn't expect that Chen Nian would be so determined to empty the supply and marketing cooperative.

Chen Nian didn't expect that these two people would come out empty-handed after strolling for so long.

"Qiaoqiao, didn't you two buy anything? Does this make me look like I'm too spendthrift?" Chen Nian looked at the bags in front of her and doubted herself for the first time. She didn't want to be defined as a fool with a lot of money by the villagers shortly after she arrived.

"I have several bags of luggage, and I didn't buy anything because I was afraid I couldn't carry them. Besides, aren't all the things you bought daily necessities? They're not all snacks." Nanqiao glanced at the package that Shen Nian was holding. In addition to two bags of biscuits and candies, the rest were kettles, enamel cups, etc.

Well....Although these are things that people buy for weddings, they look nice and expensive, but most people think they are not cost-effective and will not buy them...

But after all, they are kettles and enamel cups. They are used, so it is not a waste. Nanqiao is convincing himself in his heart.

"That's right, I bought these because they look good. They are good-looking and useful. If I didn't bring so few tickets this time, I could buy some more."

"I still have basins and pots that I haven't bought yet, Qiaoqiao. If we cook for ourselves later, we'll have to buy knives and other things. But I don't know if I have enough industrial tickets. I have to go back and check..."

The three of them walked towards the door of the supply and marketing cooperative while talking. Even after they left the door, Shen Nian was still mumbling about what else he should buy.

"The knife should be in my package. I remember my mother told me to bring it when I went out." Although Nanqiao said this, he was thinking in his heart that it was a good thing that he bought a few pure hand-hammered kitchen knives at that time, otherwise the modern models would be hard to explain now.

"That's good, that's good. Otherwise, it would be a big problem to start a fire without a kitchen knife," Shen Nian said exaggeratedly.

"But then again, you are the one who is yelling and you want to cook. Do you know how to do it?" Nanqiao's slightly questioning voice came out, and Shen Nian's movements of tumbling the package froze.

With a slightly unconfident tone, he said, "I... should be able to do it, right?"

"Should? Considered? What kind of answer is that..."

"Hey, Qiaoqiao, look at you, if I can't do it, can't I learn it?" Shen Nian said coquettishly

"So you don't know how to cook at all!!" Nanqiao was so excited. She originally thought that Shen Nian had bought pots and knives with such fanfare and was going to cook by herself. Even if she was not a chef, she could at least cook some home-cooked dishes.

I didn't expect that I was going to learn this now...

"It's not like I can't... I can cook noodles, steam rice, and make pancakes... I just can't cook..." Shen Nian said aggrievedly.

"Okay, that's fine..." Nanqiao felt more at ease after hearing what Chen Nian said. At least she could get started. Although they lived in the same yard and ate their own food, they would inevitably have to cook together. She didn't want to go to the fields to earn work points, and then come back to cook for others.

If she doesn't have enough trouble, she can just do it by herself. When she doesn't want to do it, she can use the food in the space to solve the problem.

This means taking someone else's food, so she has to do it... She doesn't want to do it, even her good friends can't...

Nanqiao lived alone for many years before she traveled through the book. Apart from studying fashion, cooking was probably one of her few hobbies.

So when it comes to cooking for one's own living, Nanqiao's focus is only on making a fire!

After all, for those who are used to using natural gas that can be turned on with a twist in the 21st century, making a fire seems to have basically never appeared in the life of the rich girl Nanqiao.

If we have to talk about lighting a fire, it's probably when we light a scented candle…

Nanqiao thought of this and sighed imperceptibly, "We'll talk about the future later, take your time."

The supply and marketing cooperative was the largest in town. When the three of them came out after shopping, it was already eleven o'clock, so Nanqiao suggested

"It's almost time, why don't we go to the state-owned hotel?" Nanqiao thought of what Sheng Yanchuan said in the morning to meet at the state-owned hotel at noon, and now that the time was almost up, he suggested

Shen Nian and Tao Hua said at the same time, "Okay."
