State-run restaurants can only serve white noodle dumplings and big fish and meat on Mondays and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they can eat vermicelli and white rice at most, and boiled vegetables with sliced bacon.
Su Qinghe happened to work on Thursday.
The next day is Friday.
In the morning, someone from the procurement department brought fish and white noodles over. Aunt Li and Su Qinghe happily went to move the things into the restaurant.
Qiao Da was picky about whether the fish was big or not, and whether the meat was fresh or not.
When the things entered the store, Aunt Li just bought the meat and flour tickets. Qi Da also took out a bunch of votes to count.
Su Qinghe said, "What are you doing with the ticket?"
Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's rare to supply such good fish twice a week. Are you going to bring some back to your family? The supply and marketing cooperative can't buy such fresh fish. Our relatives have already ordered it."
Su Qinghe: "..." You can still do this!
She also hurriedly took out the money and the ticket. The ten yuan Chang'an gave her was the last time I sent something to Chang'an. The shipping cost was a bit, and it hasn't been moved much yet. There are also a few meat tickets.
All three dumped some good meat. Su Qinghe didn't do much, mainly because everyone did it. If she didn't do it, she would appear to be divorced from the people. Anyway, it's not such a wicked thing to take things for nothing. Well, it doesn’t count if you eat it in your stomach, it’s a work meal...
The stuff was packed and stuffed in the basket under the workbench.
Not only did they do this, but soon people familiar with them from other units also came, "Old Li, do you have white noodles?"
"Fuqiang flour and whole wheat flour, and some gray noodles with shells." Aunt Li said while nibbling melon seeds.
"No more, do you want Huimian?"
"… want."
When the people left, Su Qinghe said, "Aren't we Fuqiang flour and whole wheat flour?" We just came back.
"At that point, we still have to make dumplings. The cadres like to eat them."
After a while, people came one after another. They all buy dumplings.
Seeing Su Qinghe, Secretary Sun's wife said, "Hey, isn't this the third daughter-in-law of the old Gu's family? She also comes here to work."
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Little Su is diligent, and she works neatly."
"Really, if you want me to tell you, this old Gu's family is really real, and his daughter-in-law also works as a temporary worker. Anyway, I have to provide an allowance. But I think it's coming soon, Lao Li, you have retired in a few years Well, this establishment probably belongs to Xiao Su. It’s a good way to continue.”
Provocation, naked provocation!
Su Qinghe saw that Aunt Li's face was not good, and immediately said, "This is impossible, there must be rules in everything, of course Aunt Li's work is for her family members, how can she give it to others. Isn't this a mess? .Secretary Sun would not think the same way, that’s not okay, and the whole heart will be messed up. After all, there is no rule without rules.”
Secretary Sun's daughter-in-law's face was stiff, but she didn't expect the little daughter-in-law of the old Gu's family to look at Shicheng with such a mouthful. He said with a false smile, "That's right, you have to pay attention to the rules in everything, and you go back and talk to your father-in-law, don't cross the line all day long."
"My dad didn't cross the line, he just did things for the common people wholeheartedly!"
Secretary Sun's wife was about to say something, but Aunt Li had already served the dumplings and put them in Secretary Sun's wife's bowl.
Secretary Sun's daughter-in-law took a look, frowned and said, "Why is this dumpling so small today?"
Aunt Li smiled and said, "Usually there is a lot of flour, so we will make it bigger for you. Now that the times are bad, there will be fewer people coming to the restaurant. You can make do with it, and next time there is more flour, I will make it bigger for you. "
"..." Secretary Sun's wife left with a straight face. Obviously very dissatisfied with this dumpling.
When she left, Aunt Li let out a pooh to the outside of the window. "What is it, I still want to eat big dumplings."
Su Qinghe: "... Aunt Li, I don't have any other ideas. My partner is a soldier, and I may be with the army in the future. It is impossible to stay here."
Aunt Li waved her hand, "How can I not believe you when you say those things? She is like that. When she comes back, she wants to eat dumplings that are bigger than others, and she has to give three or two noodles. They are the only ones who replace other people's work. The family can do it."
Su Qinghe remembered that her mother-in-law was at most awe-inspiring at home, but she was always honest outside. I thought that Secretary Sun was probably not a good thing. If he doesn't deal with her father-in-law, and doesn't fight for seeds for the county, his daughter-in-law is so virtuous, how can she be a good person.
In the morning, the three of them ate dumplings. After eating and drinking, they opened the door of the restaurant. It was already nine o'clock...
A group of people rushed in, and some even fought for seats, so Su Qinghe hurried over to persuade them. "Two comrades, don't fight. Be careful in this public place."
As a result, people didn't listen at all.
She patted the table directly, "Do you still want to eat, get out of the fight, don't occupy the public's place!"
The fighters stopped immediately, and then glanced at each other. One of them stretched out his hand to hold the other's hand, "Comrade, long time no see, I just got a little more enthusiastic, you eat first, I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."
"All right, all right, I'll call you when I'm done eating, and I'll return this seat to you."
The matter was resolved peacefully.
Su Qinghe: "..." I really can't get used to it!
After finishing their morning meal, Aunt Li and Qiao Da also went out, planning to come back at noon.
"Master, let me cook at noon. I can make braised pork, which is my specialty. You guys try it, and eat it directly when you come."
"That's fine." Joe nodded. Just in time for a longer smoke with the old buddy.
As for whether Su Qinghe will steal it, that's fine. After doing it for so many years, he can see clearly what is lacking. Besides, the food in the restaurant is not bad, as long as it is not too much, no one will say anything.
After everyone left, Su Qinghe began to study the braised pork recipe that he always made.
As a generation of home cooking, it is also an indispensable famous dish. Su Qinghe is going to practice this dish as an upgrade assessment dish.
The best ingredient for this dish is pure local pork, the kind of pig that does not eat industrial feed at all.
The pork in this era is all local pork. Just have to pick the best quality. The pork anywhere is not as good as that of state-run restaurants. People supply the restaurants first, and then supply the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Comparing the pork and the recipe, Su Qinghe has gone through countless times in his head.
When it was eleven o'clock, Su Qinghe began to steam rice and cook.
…
In the county, a few middle-aged people wearing gray stand-up collar jackets got off the coach.
Looking at the situation in the county, his face was a little dignified.
This county is also one of the most desolate places, and the degree is quite serious. The figures reported last year alone are quite shocking. This year, it also reflected the difficulty of seeding down. The city has been thinking about it, worried that there are not enough seeds, so it arranged a sum of money to fill the gap. If the seeds are not enough, let the local authorities go to other counties to buy them, and they can't rely on them to distribute them all.
This time the city is still worried, so a team was arranged to investigate and visit. Let's see how the spring sowing is going in various places.
"Old Yan, where should we go first, to the county government or to the countryside?"
"Why do you go to the county government? They did the things, and you have to listen to what they say? I found out last year that some old comrades are particularly dishonest. They talk differently from doing things. They distort the policies above and make things worse. The people below have great opinions. Let’s go and listen to the opinions of the people this time.” Team leader Yan said seriously.
As the leader of a group has spoken, the others naturally have no objections.
A young man said, "It's time for dinner now, should we go down after eating, or we will cause trouble to the place."
Team Leader Yan nodded, "Go eat first. There should be a state-run restaurant here."
A group of people hurried to the state-run hotel after asking for directions.
Although the county seat is not big, for those who come here for the first time, it is still a bit dizzy to leave. Just about to ask the locals to ask you the way, everyone smelled a fragrance.
As soon as the smell enters the nose, the saliva can't help but come out.
Lao Yan sniffed, "It smells so good. It smells like braised pork. It's really good that ordinary people can make these at home."
"What kind of people's house, it must be a state-run hotel." Another older man walked over looking for the scent.
Others followed suit. The state-run hotel was quickly found. Hujia County State-owned Hotel. At this time, the door was closed, and there was a burst of fragrance from the window.
Some people are also waiting outside. What is this for, the door is not open yet
Lao Yan went straight to knock on the door.
"What's the noise, it's not time for dinner yet!" There was a scolding sound from inside.
Others who were waiting in line outside laughed.
Old Yan: "..."
The young secretary who followed him immediately asked someone, "Comrade, what's going on, the state-run hotel is still open?"
The person who was asked was an old man, and when he heard this, he laughed and said, "You are from other places, right? Our state-run restaurants are full of receptionists. We want the working class to eat good food. For the working class Service, we understand."
"..." Lao Yan and his party felt that this reason was quite enlightened.
When the scent inside had almost disappeared, the door finally opened. Then a group of people rushed in directly.
The research team was knocked out.
Going inside again, a group of people who were rude just now are sitting obediently now.
Leader Yan said, "It seems that we are still not down-to-earth. We usually eat too much in the cafeteria, and we are reluctant to eat restaurants. We think we are saving money, but we are actually divorced from the people." So tough.
There is no place to sit, so I can only find a place to stand and prepare to eat. They can wait for time to eat.
When they received it from them, they ordered a bowl of braised pork without any discussion, "It tastes just like that."
"It doesn't have any taste. You're still picky about the taste when you eat braised pork." Aunt Li smashed her mouth. The meat just now is really delicious, and Xiao Su's cooking is so good!
Old Yan said, "Why not, we all smelled it just now."
"That's not made by the master. Now the master cooks. If you want to eat, you can eat the master's."
The master chef must be more delicious!
Several people made a quick decision, "It's the braised pork cooked by the master."
