All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Chapter 623 624. Food experience and the arrival of new neighbors

Although there is no need to queue up to eat at a restaurant now, Yue Wenxuan still decided to leave early.

At eleven o'clock, Yue Wenxuan called back the two children who were running around in the corridor, and the family walked out of the compound happily.

"Grandpa, what is there to eat in the restaurant? Can I eat handfuls of meat and jar meat?" Yue Chengdong's mouth watered as he recalled the rich aroma of the last time he ate handfuls of meat.

Yue Wenxuan slapped his eldest grandson on the back of the head, "Not every hotel may have it, but we can find one that has it. We must fulfill your wish today."

Yue Chengdong jumped three feet high in excitement, "It's great, I can finally eat a handful of meat! The meat is so fragrant, I like to eat it the most."

"I think the jar meat is the most delicious. The last time I had the jar meat at my second aunt's house, it was so fragrant. I still remember it."

Four months ago, Yue Qingmei had a jar of meat at her second aunt's house. Because the time was short, she was very impressed.

"Let's find a larger restaurant. Whether it's meat in a handful or a jar of meat, maybe they will have it."

Yue Wenxuan knows very well that now is the most difficult time to supply. Ordinary small restaurants may not be able to supply large meat dishes. Even if they can, they can only have one or two kinds. It is impossible to order whatever you want.

Only larger restaurants can provide more sufficient supplies. Even so, he cannot guarantee that they will be able to satisfy the wishes of his grandson and granddaughter.

The family walked out slowly, and walked for nearly twenty minutes before arriving at the door of Yuquan Tower.

Yuquanlou is a well-known mid-range restaurant nearby. It mainly serves local dishes. The chef's skills are very good. When I went to restaurants in the past, I would often choose this restaurant to patronize.

The family arrived early, it was not yet half past eleven, and the hall was empty except for one or two tables of guests.

Affected by the insufficient supply of non-staple food, even mid-range restaurants like Yuquanlou are unable to order from the menu and can only cook whatever is available.

The dishes that can be served today have been written in advance on the small blackboard in the lobby. Fortunately, meat dishes are indeed available today. There are two large meat dishes in total, namely the big meat and the nine-turn large intestine.

In addition to these two large meat dishes, there are also fried double crispy meat dishes and pan-fried prawns. There are only a few meat dishes in total, and of course you have to order them all.

In addition to these four meat dishes, Yue Wenxuan also ordered: sherry toon, yellow cabbage, potted tofu and milk soup.

What makes Yue Wenxuan the most happy is this dish of Pucai in milk soup. This dish is known as the best soup dish in Quancheng and is basically unavailable in other places.

It's not yet the season when cattail is on the market in large quantities, and there is only a very small amount of supply on the market. It's not a waste of money to be able to eat this dish at this time.

The Pu Cai used in Milk Soup is produced on the banks of Daming Lake. The "Milk Soup Pu Cai" cooked with milk soup and Pu Cai is very famous as early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it still remains famous today.

Yue Wenxuan quickly ordered the food without consulting the children.

For ordinary people, going to a hotel is a very luxurious thing, and they may not go to a hotel only once a year.

Yue Wenxuan is considered a high-income group. Of course, he goes out to restaurants more often than ordinary people. However, he has always been frugal and does not easily go out to restaurants. Even if he goes there once in a while, it is usually with friends and colleagues, and he rarely goes out to restaurants with his family. enjoy.

Let alone two teenagers, even if Yue Hongan and Yue Hongying have grown so big, they only go to restaurants a handful of times.

Except for Yue Wenxuan, for several others, the opportunity to go to the hotel was really rare, and they were very excited.

The next time he went to a restaurant, of course it had to be ceremonial. The children and Yue Hongying couldn't drink, so Yue Wenxuan ordered a small bottle of half a catty of wine, preparing to have a few delicious drinks with the fourth child.

Several people came early and the food was served very quickly. The first thing that was served was Pu Cai in milk soup.

This dish is served in a large basin. The soup is milky white and the cabbage is green. It looks very tempting.

Yue Wenxuan said: "Since the soup is served first, let's each drink a bowl first to warm our stomachs."

Yue Hongying took the initiative to get up and share the soup with everyone without her father's instructions.

After the soup was divided, Yue Wenxuan was the first to taste it. He felt that the cabbage was crisp and tender, the thick soup was fragrant, and the taste was light and delicious. It really lived up to its reputation as the best soup.

Even Yue Wenxuan, an old gourmet, thought it tasted delicious. After several children drank it, they found it even more delicious.

A few of them were still in the lowest stage of needing to fill their stomachs. Suddenly they tasted delicious food, so there was no reason to be dissatisfied.

Before the bowl of soup was finished, several other dishes were served one after another.

Among the remaining dishes, Yue Wenxuan is personally most satisfied with the pot-shaped tofu. This dish is probably the work of the hotel chef, and it is very authentic.

But the other people's favorite foods are undoubtedly the big meat and the nine-turn large intestine. For those who were still hungry yesterday, the big meat and big meat are of course the most popular.

Yue Wenxuan and Laosi were drinking wine, while the others were eating big meat and chewing white steamed buns. Everyone was very satisfied.

By the time Yue Wenxuan and Lao Si finished half a catty of wine, all the food on the table had been eaten, with nothing left.

After eating and drinking, there was nothing to do in the hotel. Yue Wenxuan walked back slowly with his satisfied family.

After leaving the hotel door, Yue Chengdong asked curiously: "Grandpa, how much did we spend on this meal? Is it expensive?"

"It's definitely more expensive than eating at home. We spent a total of three and eighty cents, plus two and a half kilograms of food stamps." Yue Wenxuan said truthfully without hiding anything.

"That's really expensive!" Yue Chengdong is ten years old and has a deep understanding of the value of money and food stamps. "Let's just eat at home from now on. Going to a restaurant is too wasteful."

Yue Wenxuan rubbed the top of his eldest grandson's head and said happily: "Not bad, he still understands the principles of living frugally, which is worthy of praise.

It would indeed be too wasteful to go to restaurants frequently, but come here once in a while to give you a toothpaste and broaden your horizons. Grandpa's salary is high, so I can still afford it. "

"Then how often should we go to the restaurant? Can it be once a month?"

After all, it is the time when the body is growing and the mouth is greedy. Even if Yue Chengdong is an obedient and sensible boy, he cannot resist the temptation of delicious food.

"It's okay once or twice a month. Grandpa can afford it."

Hearing the affirmative reply from Yue Wenxuan, not only Yue Chengdong was excited, but Yue Hongan and Yue Hongying were also delighted. "Dad, you're not trying to make us happy, are you really able to go to a restaurant or two every month?" Yue Hongying couldn't believe it.

"I can still deceive you, and it doesn't cost much. I only pay a hundred or dozens of yuan a month. It's not a big burden to treat you to a few restaurants. I can still afford it."

Yue Hong'an also said: "Dad is really thinking about it. You used to live a careful life, but you can't bear to waste this money."

"Do you want to open something bad? Don't you want to go to the restaurant and improve it? If you are really so frugal, then I won't call you next time, and you can save some money." Yue Wenxuan said.

"I don't mean to express my objection by saying this. On the contrary, I quite agree with dad's approach." Yue Hongan quickly expressed his attitude, "You used to live a life that was too thin. Every penny you spent had to be broken into two petals. It was not easy. Now, it’s better as it is now.”

The family walked into the compound chatting and laughing. When they walked to the door of the unit, they saw a group of people busy moving things.

"Why is someone moving again? They are still the residents on our second floor, right?" There is still an empty household on the second floor, and they have not moved in yet, so Yue Hongan made such a guess.

"It's better to go over and ask. Since we have encountered him, we have to help him no matter what."

When Yue Wenxuan walked closer, a neighbor he knew took the initiative to introduce him without him asking.

The neighbor pointed to a middle-aged man wearing glasses and said: "Director Yue, this is our new neighbor Ding Weihua on the second floor. Lao Yang's apartment has been allocated to him, and he will move in today."

This Ding Weihua looks to be about forty years old. He is wearing a four-pocket Mao suit. He is elegant and looks like a cadre.

"Hello, Director Yue, I have heard of your glorious deeds for a long time. We will be neighbors from now on. Please take good care of me."

Ding Weihua had obviously heard of Yue Wenxuan's name and took the initiative to say hello with a very warm attitude.

"Your family is the only one missing from our second floor. Now that you have moved in, our second floor is finally full again.

I am retired at home now and usually have nothing to do. You just came here and you must not know much about the situation here. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come and see me. "Yue Wenxuan also followed suit and was polite.

He was a patient who had just recovered from health, so of course he would not do the hard work of moving the racks. He just held two bags in his hands and helped him get to the second floor.

After standing at the door of Lao Ding's house for a while, Yue Wenxuan got a rough idea of ​​their family's situation.

The situation of Ding Weihua's family is very similar to that of Niu Fenqiang's family who just moved here. Even the population is the same.

He also has three children, and his wife lives with him.

Although the two families have the same population, their economic gap is very large.

Ding Weihua is a deputy, section, and section cadre at the 18th administrative level. His monthly salary is more than 80 yuan, which is already very high. Moreover, his wife also has a job, and her monthly salary is more than 40 yuan.

The combined monthly salary of the couple is almost 130 yuan, which is more than enough to support a family of six.

Niu Fenqiang was able to move in because of his outstanding work performance, and Ding Weihua was able to move in because the previous house was too small and it was a bungalow. After his application, it was finally adjusted into a cadre building that suited his status.

Yue Hongan and Yue Hongying had to go back to school before dark. In order to give them an extra meal, Yue Wenxuan arranged for the old girl to cook early.

I just had a big meal in a restaurant at noon, so this meal in the evening will be very simple.

When the family of five ate, there was not even a hot dish fried, just a simple onion dipping sauce and a plate of pickles. Even so, with the yellow steamed buns, the whole family was very satisfied.

Today's food standards, except for the steamed corn bread, are basically the same as those of our neighbors, there is nothing special about them.

In this day and age, every household only has a little bit of oil, and not every meal has hot dishes. Most of the time, it’s just steamed buns and pickles. It’s that simple.

In the past, cornmeal was a coarse grain, but in this most difficult period, pure cornmeal without adulteration has become a fine grain, which is difficult to eat in normal times.

The pure cornmeal that Yue Wenxuan brought out was different. It was ground so finely that it didn't irritate your throat when you eat it. This was even more rare. All four children in the family ate it deliciously.

After dinner, Yue Hongying and Yue Hongan began to pack their things. They both moved slowly, obviously not wanting to leave so soon.

Yue Wenxuan picked up a cloth bag and handed it to the old girl, "There are snacks I prepared for you in it. Don't eat them on Da Ming noodles, so as not to make people jealous. Whenever you are hungry, just find a place where no one is around to eat them." Take a few bites.”

"There are even snacks, let me see what they have?" This was definitely an unexpected surprise, and Yue Hongying couldn't help but look through it immediately.

There are quite a lot of things inside, and the one on top is the dried sweet potatoes that I have eaten frequently in the past two days, weighing four to five kilograms. Scroll down further and there is a pack of beef jerky and a pack of White Rabbit toffee!

"Dad, why do you still have beef jerky and White Rabbit toffee? I can't take such expensive things. You should keep them for yourself."

A few kilograms of dried sweet potatoes was already a huge surprise. Yue Hongying did not dare to take away the beef jerky and White Rabbit toffee at home.

Even when the supply was normal in the past, she rarely had beef jerky and White Rabbit toffee. Now it is even more rare. After all, her father doesn't have much, so she can't take it selfishly.

"You can just take it. The beef jerky and White Rabbit toffee are not much, only about a pound each. Your fourth brother also has them at his place. You are not eating alone.

Never give these two items to others. If you want to share them with your classmates, dried sweet potatoes will suffice. " Yue Wenxuan warned carefully.

"That's definitely not the case. I'm not stupid. I haven't even eaten beef jerky a few times myself, so I definitely wouldn't want to share it with others."

Yue Hong'an said in amusement beside him: "It's still the old girl who attracts people's attention. They are all the same children. Why is there such a big gap?"

"Since you have any objections, let's exchange this bag of yours with Hongying's. I'm sure she will be willing."

Yue Hong'an quickly grabbed it, held her in his arms and said, "I am an older brother, so of course I have to give way to my little sister. It's okay to feel a little wronged. This is what I should do."

"Words you have said are like water thrown out. If you want to take it back, it will be too late."

Yue Hongying reached out and snatched the cloth bag from his fourth brother's arms and started flipping it quickly.

"Wow! Why are there so many beef jerky and White Rabbit toffee in Brother Four's bag? Dad, you are too partial, you must change them!"
