For the next few days, Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling were busy reading.
There was not much coal left at home, so Li Yiling had just gone out to buy some coal. Unfortunately, he did not have enough coal coupons. It was winter and every household was short of coal, so he did not sell any coal.
When Yang Zhaozhao was about to use a high-power electrical appliance, Wang Xiaowei said that there were coal resources and some firewood and asked her if she wanted them.
Of course Yang Zhaozhao wants it.
"A few brothers and I will deliver it later. You guys just wait for it. The stuff is a bit eye-catching and difficult to deliver during the day." It's impossible for Wang Xiaowei to just sit back and enjoy all the money.
While Yang Zhaozhao and his classmates were studying, he went out to earn money for food.
If Yang Zhaozhao happens to need it, he will definitely stay by Yang Zhaozhao's side.
After the agreement, Wang Xiaowei stayed and had a lunch of tomato and egg noodles. Around nine o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister, it's me, Xiaowei!" Wang Xiaowei pinched his throat, afraid of waking others.
Li Yiling went to open the door. Yang Zhaozhao, holding a flashlight, watched three people pushing a cart into the house.
It's snowing.
It's cold and snowy in the Northeast.
Their heads and shoulders were covered with snow, and their exposed faces were red from the cold. None of them were wearing thick clothes and they all looked cold.
Seeing Yang Zhaozhao grinning, he said, "This truckload is probably enough for you to burn for the whole winter."
"That's great!" Yang Zhaozhao closed the door, poured them ginger tea, and added a large piece of brown sugar.
When it’s cold, drink some brown sugar ginger tea to keep away the cold.
They were cold and thirsty, so they held the enamel cups while warming their hands and drank most of the cups in two or three gulps. Seeing that they liked it, Yang Zhaozhao filled them up again.
Knowing that they were coming, Yang Zhaozhao specially warmed herself on the stove.
After drinking the brown sugar ginger tea, they seemed to come alive and one of the guys even had a rumbling stomach.
Yang Zhaozhao happened to come out holding a handful of peanuts. Hearing the sound of hungry stomach, he looked over.
The young guy's face turned red with embarrassment, and even his dark and thin skin could not hide his shame.
Yang Zhaozhao thought about how they braved the snow late at night to bring her charcoal, and she felt embarrassed to see them starving.
In this generation, it is normal to drink water at night and sleep to avoid hunger.
Yang Zhaozhao had tens of billions of supplies and had no shortage of food.
Be nice to her, Yang Zhaozhao will remember the kindness.
She smiled at the boy and said, "Wait, I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
"No, thanks!" Wang Xiaowei felt embarrassed to eat for free.
Yang Zhaozhao waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not that we don't have food at home, you guys have helped us a lot, go and help put the coal and firewood in the small room, and add eggs."
They have no money and no food, but they have strength.
As soon as Yang Zhaozhao opened his mouth, Ton Ton Ton finished drinking the brown sugar ginger tea in the enamel cup. The three of them, together with Li Yiling, quickly put the coal in place.
In the kitchen, the fire was roaring. As soon as the water boiled, twelve slices of instant noodles were put into the pot, otherwise they would not be enough.
They are all big guys with big appetites.
...
I beat an egg and put it in the pot, and it became a poached egg.
I cut the luncheon meat into two pieces, cut it into the size of tofu cubes, added a large handful of hot pot meatballs, and put in a few heads of lettuce.
Instant noodles taste better when cooked.
The fragrance makes your mouth water!
Various seasoning packets were added, the lid of the pot was lifted, and the empty city plan was played outside the kitchen.
Yang Zhaozhao used a large enamel bowl, one for each person, which was filled with an egg, two slices of luncheon meat, a few hot pot meatballs and lettuce leaves.
The sound of "dinner time" immediately broke down Wang Xiaowei and the others' defenses.
Li Yiling was also hungry.
However, he was more reserved than Wang Xiaowei and the others. At least he didn't stare at the instant noodles and drool.
At least Yang Zhaozhao fed him well every day, but at this time, he was still hungry!
“Eat it!”
Yang Zhaozhao served a bowl to Xiao Cui. She was small, so she only ate an egg, a few noodles, a piece of luncheon meat, and some green vegetable leaves.
Cuinai doesn't eat midnight snacks. She is in poor health and it is difficult for her to digest if she eats too much, so she has to control her food intake.
"It's delicious, really delicious, sister, the way you make this noodles is different from the ones we make ourselves." It's not the first time Wang Xiaowei has eaten instant noodles, and he falls in love with it every time he eats it.
"I don't know how you made it. I bought it. Eat it quickly, and then go back and rest early!" Yang Zhaozhao couldn't answer, nor did he want to answer.
After all, instant noodles are almost non-existent in China at that time.
It’s fine to eat it in private, if it gets out, I’m afraid it will have a bad impact.
Wang Xiaowei nodded tactfully and buried his head in slurping his instant noodles. A mouthful of luncheon meat almost sent him over the edge, but a mouthful of fish balls brought him back.
It felt like they were having a good time, and they ate until not a single drop of soup was left.
I didn’t expect that noodles could be cooked so deliciously, the soup was tasty, the eggs were delicious, and the meat slices and meatballs really caught their taste buds.
In one word, delicious!
For those who were hungry, after eating such a big bowl of noodles, they finally felt full.
Yang Zhaozhao waited for them to finish eating and then started to settle the bill.
As for coal and firewood, Wang Xiaowei and his friends only collected money for the coal, and the firewood was what the hungry young man picked up, just to make some money.
Yang Zhaozhao, he is going to send this.
Yang Zhaozhao was not going to take advantage: "One thing is one thing, if we agree to buy it, then buy it. If you don't want to pay, then I don't want it."
Wang Xiaowei continued to persuade the young man, and finally he accepted the five yuan given by Yang Zhaozhao.
The young man was holding the money and felt very embarrassed: "Sister, we don't have much food at home. I want to ask if you have any food to sell here. Don't want it to be too good, just ordinary."
"Yes." He knew that everyone was short of food and drink, so since he asked, they had to have it even if they didn't have it.
Not to mention that Yang Zhaozhao had billions of supplies, and the thing he had no shortage of was food.
"Rice, noodles, or something else?"
"Whichever flour is cheaper, I'll take it." The young man felt embarrassed. His family couldn't afford expensive food, so just filling his stomach was enough. At least he had to survive.
"Flour, it's cheap."
Yang Zhaozhao went to the kitchen and came out carrying a 50-jin bag of flour. He asked the others, "Do you want to take some? The price is the same as the supply and marketing cooperative. No tickets are required."
It’s so cheap, they will definitely want it.
What a wealthy family! They sell flour by the bag.
The three of them quickly finished 50 kilograms of flour.
In addition to flour, they hesitated and asked for some other things. As long as they asked, Yang Zhaozhao would give them the things.
The carts come in fully loaded and leave fully loaded.
Yang Zhaozhao also gave everyone a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, not much, just half a pound.
White Rabbit milk candy was not cheap at that time. Yang Zhaozhao bought half a pound of it, and they were almost moved to tears.
Wang Xiaowei said: "Sister, if you need anything in the future, please contact us. We are always available."
Yang Zhaozhao nodded and watched them leave in the heavy snow, taking one step forward and one step back.
After standing at the door for a while, Yang Zhaozhao rubbed his hands and went back.
In one word, cold!
After getting the coal, you still have to fetch some yellow mud and make the coal into a honeycomb or cake shape. It is too extravagant to burn it like this.
It was four days later when the snow stopped. Li Yiling and Yang Zhaozhao went to fetch mud to make honeycomb briquettes and accidentally got some coal dust on their faces.
Li Yiling saw it and said, "Your face is dirty."
Yang Zhaozhao wiped it with her sleeve but it wasn't clean. When she was about to wash her hands and look in the mirror, she felt warmth on her face. Li Yiling wiped the coal dust off with his thumb.
Looking at the cold and handsome face approaching, Yang Zhaozhao's heart skipped a beat.
Stared at by Yang Zhaozhao's big, talking eyes, Li Yiling's face turned red, his heart beat fast, and blood kept rushing to his face.
Li Yiling concealed his face and turned away, not wanting Yang Zhaozhao to see him blushing.
Yang Zhaozhao looked at Li Yiling, whose ears were about to bleed, and raised the corners of his mouth.
The places he wiped also turned red bit by bit.
