Chapter 188 Family Affairs
This also makes up for the regret of not being able to eat water chestnuts in that season.
Canned yellow peaches, canned pears, and orange-flavored canned foods.
Zhou Zheng asked the salesmen:
“Any canned cherries?”
The salesperson was originally a very arrogant young girl.
When Jie looked up, he saw it was Zhou Zheng.
Wearing a navy blue, rather formal-looking Zhongshan suit.
He was energetic and handsome, and he immediately charmed the girl.
But he was asking about canned cherries.
The little girl still told the truth:
"Brother, I don't have what you want."
Zhou Zheng was a little disappointed, so he asked the girl to get the malted milk for him.
In this era, the most expensive thing is malted milk.
It costs one dollar and fifty cents to buy a box.
The rest of the canned water chestnuts were priced at 80 cents, 50 cents, and 70 cents.
Zhou Zheng bought two cans of malted milk, and one can each of yellow peach, pear and orange juice.
At the same time he looked at something else.
After all, the New Year is coming soon, so we have to prepare some candied fruits, melon seeds and other things.
He also wanted to give his younger brothers and sisters a red envelope of one yuan.
In that era, children would be extremely happy even if they had five cents.
After all, five cents in that era could buy an ice cream, five candies, or something like that.
It's very rare anyway.
Zhou Zheng planned to give Xiaoqi and Xiaoba one dollar each.
That's a huge sum of money for them.
As for his wife Liu Yu, Zhou Zheng prepared more for her.
It used to be ten dollars a month.
It's Chinese New Year, you should at least give me ten dollars.
Make her happy.
At this moment, he earned ten dollars from the county leaders.
He was very happy.
He plans to help in the kitchen after the Chinese New Year.
Several families have made reservations with him, saying that his cooking is delicious and they must invite him.
Usually in this situation, the kitchen helpers, especially the head chef, only get a few dollars as kitchen helpers' fee.
Those who know how to smoke can even earn a pack of cigarettes.
No matter whether the cigarettes are good or bad, they are at least a token of thoughtfulness from the host.
Those who like to drink can also take some wine as a reward.
It’s just that wine is also a luxury in this era and is not easy to get.
Zhou Zheng doesn't drink, but he agreed to exchange eggs for those who were hosting the banquet.
Save the eggs in the winter and cook them for Liu Yu when she wants to eat them.
Zhou Zheng thought very carefully.
When he arrived at the village, it was just getting dark.
In the end, no one expected that he would come before dark.
Seeing him carrying a lot of bags home, Yu Qiong quickly took the things from him:
"It's so late, why are you still thinking of coming?"
"Xiao Yu is worrying, so I have to come and look after her.
Where is she?"
As soon as Zhou Zheng entered the yard, he found that Liu Yu was not at home.
"She went out in the afternoon, saying she was going to relax.
I knew she was uncomfortable staying at home, so I let her go.
While eating, she asked someone to bring a message, saying that she was eating at her parents' house.
Do you want to pick her up now?"
"Okay, I'll go pick it up."
After Zhou Zheng said this, he walked out.
He wrapped his navy blue coat around himself and wore a cotton-padded jacket underneath.
There is nothing we can do about this.
In winter, there is no way to keep out the cold without wearing cotton clothes.
Zhou Zheng walked to Liu Yu's house with one foot high and one foot low.
Just as I was about to knock on the door, it opened.
The person who opened the door was Liu Yu's second brother Liu Qian.
When Liu Qian left three years ago, he had no confidence in Zhou Zheng at all.
The two grown men met at the door, and Liu Qian looked Zhou Zheng up and down.
