Li Shengli quickly found a breakfast shop.
Breakfast shops in the 1960s were also state-owned, but there were not many people eating breakfast. Only those with better financial conditions would come out to eat.
"Two fried dough sticks, a bowl of tofu pudding, and a plate of salted vegetables.”Li Shengli sat down.
"Fifty cents for two tickets and two taels of tofu.”
In the 1960s, tickets were required for everything. Even a simple breakfast required all kinds of tickets. Fortunately, Li Shengli had prepared them in advance.
"Why didn't I see the slogan that forbids you from beating up customers for no reason?”
"Looks like I was thinking too much."
"Who would beat up a customer for no reason?”
"However, this service attitude is really not very friendly. It's not warm at all to the guests. It's no wonder that they serve iron rice bowls.”
When the fried dough sticks were served, Li Shengli looked left and right.
Soon, the youtiao was served.
He was really hungry.
Three minutes later, he finished his breakfast.
After breakfast, her stomach stopped protesting.
He began to think about his future path.
"Since we're here, let's take it as it is."
"Since I'm living again, of course I have to live a wonderful life. I can't waste my life.”
"Unfortunately, the wind is coming."
"No matter what we do, we have to be careful and plan before we act.”
Li Shengli decided to go to work first.
The scale of the rolling mill was really huge.
At the workshop.
An ordinary day passed quickly.
After work, Li Shengli went to the market. When he came back, he was carrying some vegetables and a rooster.
Hens were usually not sold by anyone and were used to lay eggs.
When he returned to the courtyard house, he finally saw Yan Fugui. He looked like a skinny old man with his broken glasses glued together.
"Sheng Li, you bought a rooster?”
"Is there something good?"
When Yan Fugui saw the vegetables and rooster in Li Shengli's hands, his face revealed a surprised expression.
"This prodigal, why did he buy so much delicious food?”
"Are you not planning to live a good life?”
"Eating meat for the first half of the month and starving for the second half?”
Li Shengli heard Yan Fugui's inner voice. It was very different from his bright smile. His heart was filled with sarcasm and jealousy towards Li Shengli.
Li Shengli ignored him and was about to enter the courtyard.
"Sheng Li, your Third Aunt's potato stewed chicken is the best.”
"Give it to me, and I'll add some potatoes. When it's done, I'll send it to you. I just want some chicken innards.”
Yan Fugui suggested with a smile.
He waited at the entrance of the courtyard house every day with only one purpose, which was to see if he could bring some small benefits. Today's target was Li Shengli.
Chicken gizzards, chicken livers, and chicken intestines were also very good delicacies in an era where meat was scarce.
"I can do it myself."
Li Shengli entered the courtyard and ignored Third Master Yan Fugui's pestering.
Yan Fugui revealed a regretful expression.
He didn't linger and continued to guard the door, waiting for the next target to see if he could take advantage of it.
Li Shengli had just arrived at the middle court when he saw a fierce-looking old woman sitting at the door of her house, looking around with a shoe sole in her hand.
It was Jia Zhang.
She held the soles of her shoes in her hands and did not move.
Seeing the rooster and vegetables in Li Sheng Li's hands, Jia Zhang Shi's eyes lit up. She threw down the unfinished soles and ran over.
"Li Shengli, you're a grown man who doesn't know how to cook. Just leave the rooster to me.”
"I'll get Huai Ru to make it for you and send it over.”
"I don't want much. Half a chicken is enough as payment.”
Jia Zhangshi was much more direct. Without waiting for Li Shengli to agree, she reached out to snatch the rooster. Her face was full of smiles, and she even swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Her thoughts were very simple.
Chicken dinner.
Chicken dinner.
Tonight, they were going to eat chicken.
Li Shengli was so angry that he almost laughed.
Half a chicken as payment?
Who gave her face?
Li Sheng Li saw the opportunity. Just as Jia Zhang Shi was about to catch the rooster, he turned around and dodged her.
Jia Zhang-shi didn't react in time and fell to the ground with a thud.
She was stunned. Li Shengli had learned to resist?
Jia Zhang-shi didn't react for a while. When she came back to her senses, Li Shengli was already in the backyard, making her so angry that her face was ashen.
"That little bastard surnamed Li, a prodigal who eats alone.”
"He ate a rooster alone. Why didn't he die from eating?”
"Choke him to death."
“......”
Jia Zhang-shi cursed and was very dissatisfied with Li Shengli.
Silly Zhu just happened to return to the middle court. Looking at Li Sheng Li's receding figure, and then looking at Jia Zhang Shi who had just gotten up, he laughed heartlessly.
"Sister Qin's skin is really perky!"
"Little Dang's granary is really big!"
On the way home, Silly Zhu did not forget to steal a few glances at Qin Huiru, his heart burning with excitement.
Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu had also returned from work. As soon as they entered the front yard, they heard Jia Zhangshi's incessant cursing.
"What does Jia Zhang-shi want to do now?" Yi Zhonghai returned home and asked an auntie.
"Li Shengli bought a big rooster today. Jia Zhangshi wanted to take advantage of it, but she didn't get it.”An auntie explained it clearly in one sentence.
Yi Zhonghai nodded.
He knew too well what kind of person Jia Zhangshi was.
He sighed in his heart. Jia Zhangshi's personality was a big problem. Choosing to let Jia Dongxu retire was not a small problem for Jia Zhangshi.
"Why did Li Shengli buy a chicken?"
"Is there any good news?"
"Someone introduced him to someone?"
Yi Zhonghai guessed.
In this red age, the supply of meat was tight, unless it was during the holidays or major events, such as blind dates or entertaining guests.
Otherwise, ordinary people would not buy meat at all.
When the other families in the courtyard saw Li Shengli buy a big rooster, they all guessed why Li Shengli wanted to buy a chicken.
Half an hour later.
The rich aroma of the meat wafted through the courtyard.
Jia family.
They were having dinner.
There was cornbread, porridge, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage. There was no oil at all.
"This damned Li Shengli, eating a rooster by himself, why didn't he support him?”During dinner, Jia Zhangshi started scolding again.
"Li Shengli bought a rooster?"
Jia Dongxu was very surprised.
When he saw Li Shengli in the morning, he was shocked. Then, he realized that Li Shengli had changed. He was no longer the Li Shengli of the past.
"What a big chicken."
The stick guy swallowed his saliva and stretched out his arms, gesturing exaggeratedly.
Qin Huairu hugged Little Dang and nodded. She saw it too.
The aroma of the chicken spread to the Jia family.
Jia Zhang-shi closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance.
The stick, Jia Dongxu, and Jia Zhangshi were both intoxicated by the fragrance.
"Grandma, I want to eat chicken instead of cornbread.”
The stick terrier threw the cornbread on the table and started shaking his hands and feet.
"This little bastard who cursed his parents to death. He really ate a big rooster by himself.”Jia Zhang-shi swallowed her saliva and cursed through gritted teeth.
She would scold anyone who cooked delicious food as long as she smelled it.
"I want to eat chicken."
"I want to eat a big drumstick."
The stick refused to give up. He kicked around and almost overturned the table.
