There were indeed a lot of things, including grain, oil, vinegar, gloves, and a big bag of heavy pig's trotters and pork belly.
She first picked up the small and light items such as snacks and gloves.
"Then I'll go in first."
Fu Zhewei hummed an "hmm" and stood still, like a silent poplar tree.
Lin Jianxue walked quickly into the dormitory building carrying her things, put them down, and hurried out again.
It took two trips back and forth before I finally moved all the things into the room.
"I've taken everything inside. You go back first. I'll pack up and come over to see Aunt Dong."
Fu Zhewei nodded.
"Okay. Then I'll go back first."
After saying that, he turned around without saying another word, took a long stride, and soon disappeared around the corner of the road.
Lin Jianxue stood there, watching his tall and thin figure completely disappear from her sight, then she slowly withdrew her gaze.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, then turned and walked into the educated youth dormitory, carrying the bag of meat and Fuqiang noodles, and turned to walk towards the educated youth canteen.
*
It was the weekend, the educated youth did not go to work, and the cafeteria was naturally closed.
But the stove is hot, and Master Wang and his wife, who are in charge of the canteen, live in a small room behind the canteen.
If the educated youth had their own food but were too lazy to use the small stove in the dormitory, they could ask Master Wang to help cook it. They just needed to pay some cooking fee or the corresponding food coupons.
When Lin Jianxue walked to the cafeteria door, she heard the voices of Master Wang and his wife chatting inside.
She pushed open the wooden door and walked in.
The cafeteria was empty except for a table in the corner where Master Wang and his wife were sitting and eating melon seeds.
Seeing Lin Jianxue coming in with a big bag, they were both stunned.
Master Wang was a slightly plump man in his fifties, with a perpetually cheerful face. He put down the melon seeds in his hand and stood up in surprise.
"Hey, Lin Zhiqing? What are you doing..."
His eyes fell on the package that Lin Jianxue placed on the table. The oil stains on the oil paper and the bulging weight of the package indicated that there were good things inside.
"Master Wang, Aunt Wang."
She opened the oil-paper package, revealing the juicy pig's front trotter and a large piece of fat and lean pork belly.
"Master, I would like to ask you for a favor and make something."
Master Wang and his wife stared with wide eyes.
Wow! This must be three or four pounds of meat, right? And this huge pig's trotter!
This pork belly is very precious. It is considered good to have some minced meat in the canteen stir-fry. Such a big piece of pork belly and a whole pig's trotter are rare!
Master Wang's wife couldn't help swallowing.
"Lin Zhiqing, what are you doing..." Master Wang calmed down and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Make some dumplings and stew a dish." Lin Jianxue pointed at the piece of pork belly. "This pork belly weighs three pounds. Master, can you chop half of it into stuffing and make meat dumplings for me using this bag of fine flour I brought with me?"
She pushed the bag of flour next to her forward again.
"For the remaining half, please make a stew of pork and vermicelli."
"By the way, Master, do you have soybeans for sale? Or you can exchange them for soybeans. I want to add some soybeans to stew the pig's trotters."
"Soybeans?" Master Wang wiped his hands on his apron and said cheerfully, "Yes, yes! We grow them on our farm, and they're plump! How many do you want? They're not expensive, just one pound a pound."
One pound of rice is one pound. This price is not cheap, but it is not outrageous either.
Lin Jianxue nodded: "Then I'll take one pound, Master Wang. Sorry to bother you. I want to stew it with the pig's trotters."
She remembered that Fu Qingqing liked to eat pig's trotters.
"Okay!" Master Wang agreed readily and turned to go to the storage room at the back to weigh the soybeans.
