Chapter 147 No Salt



Erzhu was woken up by hunger early in the morning. His mother usually cooked porridge with side dishes. After two bowls of it, he felt full, but only full of water.

As long as I move a little and urinate, I will soon feel hungry.

They went on a mission so far last night that they felt hungry when they came back.

As soon as he opened his eyes in the morning, he ran home.

He forgot to close the door because he left in a hurry. If he had known that the captain would do such a bad thing early in the morning, he would definitely close the door before leaving.

Chen Jianguo put on his clothes, and then saw that the room was a bit messy. He cleaned up the room and then opened the door.

Seeing Jiang Baige still sitting there, he called out, "Baige, go sit in my room for a while. It's cool to sit on this stone. I'll be back soon."

He left a word and hurried off to wash his face and brush his teeth.

I wasted half a day just now, and now my gums are stinging from the toothpaste.

Jiang Baige watched him leave in a hurry, pursed her lips, smiled, and then went to Chen Jianguo's room.

It was broad daylight, and if someone saw a grown-up girl in the yard, they might gossip about her. She might as well avoid her.

There is a single bed in Chen Jianguo's room, and there is a desk and a chair beside the bed.

There is a wardrobe against the wall. Looking at the corners of clothes tucked under the wardrobe door, Jiang Baige guessed that it must have been put in just now.

However, the floor was quite clean, and there was no smell of smoking in the room. It seemed that Chen Jianguo did not smoke.

Jiang Baige sat on a chair, looked at the furnishings in the room, and waited for Chen Jianguo to come back.

There was a notebook on the desk with a pen on top. Jiang Baige was bored and wanted to open it and take a look.

Curiosity overcame her reason, and she opened it.

It turned out that this was Chen Jianguo learning to write. While he was writing, he was also marking the pinyin on the words.

However, Chen Jianguo's handwriting is ordinary and cannot be compared with hers.

When Chen Jianguo came back, he happened to see Jiang Baige looking at his handwriting.

He scratched his head sheepishly: "This is for my calligraphy practice. What do you think? Is my handwriting ugly?"

Jiang Baige didn't say it was beautiful or ugly. She picked up a pen and wrote something in front of his handwriting to compare with it.

"Practice more, writing is the result of practice."

Chen Jianguo put the washbasin under the table, then hung the towel behind the door and wiped his hands with the dry towel behind the door.

Jiang Baige also looked along with him, and when she saw the two towels hanging behind the door, she quickly looked away.

I don’t know how long this towel has been used. There are several holes on it, but he is still using it. However, it looks quite clean.

Chen Jianguo wiped the water off his hands and took the words Jiang Baige had just written to look at them.

He smiled and said, "Your writing is still beautiful. It seems I still need to work harder."

Thinking of him just getting up, Jiang Baige asked, "You haven't had breakfast yet! Is there a place to cook here?"

Chen Jianguo replied, "There's no place to cook here. The food has all been sent to Dazhu's house. His house is close by, so his mother does the cooking. I'll give them some food as a subsidy."

Jiang Baige didn't expect that Chen Jianguo and his family didn't cook, so she asked, "Do we still have to go to their house for dinner now?"

Chen Jianguo said, "The movie doesn't start until 9:30. Have you had breakfast? I'll take you to the state-owned restaurant for breakfast."

Jiang Baige waved her hand and said, "I've eaten. If you're hungry, go eat. I'll wait for you here."

When Chen Jianguo heard this, he quickly agreed.

"Then you play for a while, I'll be back soon."

The Armed Forces Department didn't have to work today, so Dazhu went home to get his meal, which must not be cooked yet, so he simply went there to eat before coming back.

Chen Jianguo was about to leave when Dazhu came back.

"Captain, hurry up and eat. My mother made steamed buns today."

Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Hey, I'll be right there."

He agreed, pointed outside to Jiang Baige, and went out.

Dazhu brought back two lunch boxes and six steamed buns, but no vegetables at all.

Because they couldn't buy salt, and wild vegetables wouldn't taste good without oil and salt, Dazhu Niang simply didn't cook.

Dazhu smiled and said, "Captain, just have some breakfast. My mother said there might be salt somewhere, and she'll go check it out later."

Even without him explaining, Chen Jianguo knew where to go.

It is understandable that if the supply and marketing cooperative cannot supply things normally, others will try to get some back.

If no one reports it, the security team will turn a blind eye. But if you are reported, you will have no way to eat anything you want in the future.

All smart people would not do such a stupid thing.

In a small place like theirs, there aren't many people who really care about things.

Chen Jianguo sighed and said, "Eat it! The rice porridge is a little sweet, but it's not hard to drink."

He took the steamed buns and lunch box and went back to his room.

Erzhu shouted, "Captain, where are you going?"

Chen Jianguo replied as he walked, "Let's go back to the house and eat."

He wanted to stay with his little girl for a while longer, so he wanted to go back to the house to eat.

Chen Jianguo felt that white rice porridge with steamed buns was already very good, so there was nothing to hide.

Put the lunch box on the table and the steamed buns on the lid of the lunch box.

He picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Jiang Baige, "Baige, you must be hungry after walking such a long way! Eat a steamed bun."

Jiang Baige had the lean meat porridge cooked by Grandma Meng in the morning, which also contained some vegetables. She was very full.

She said, "I had a full meal this morning, you can eat by yourself."

I saw the white rice porridge and white steamed buns in his bowl.

Jiang Baige asked, "Where are the vegetables? Don't you want to eat them?"

Chen Jianguo paused while eating before saying, "Salt is in short supply in our town. Food without salt won't taste good! I might as well not eat it."

Jiang Baige didn't expect that there was no salt to sell. It seemed that even if she went to Mr. Kui's place, she didn't know whether all the goods she put out last time had been sold out.

She couldn't even think about it; the moment she did, she became very upset.

She promised Mr. Yang Wu to go there in five days. Now it's almost a month and she hasn't gone yet. Maybe they are waiting anxiously there.

Seeing that Chen Jianguo had no food to eat, she took out a can of beef sauce from her pocket.

She placed it in front of him and said, "Open this and eat it. It's best eaten with porridge or steamed buns."

Chen Jianguo looked at the bottle and then looked at her.

Asked: "What is this?"

Jiang Baige replied, "Meat sauce, you'll know after you try it."

She didn't dare say it was beef sauce. Cows are so precious nowadays, who would dare to kill them and cook them?

Chen Jianguo saw the red meat sauce in the can and swallowed inadvertently.

But he still pushed it back to her, "This thing must be difficult to prepare! Keep it for yourself."

Jiang Baige glared at him and said, "Eat it just as I told you to. I brought this specially for you. Where else can I get more?"

If she hadn't said that, Chen Jianguo would definitely not want it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Chen Jianguo happily took it in his hand and unscrewed it immediately.
