In fact, in the 1960s, it was not uncommon to bring food to a restaurant.

However, most people brought staple food or cooked food. The former was because the staple food outside was too expensive and they would not be full if they ordered too little. As for the latter, the dishes were also expensive, so he couldn't bear to order too much.

However, if they were to go to a restaurant, especially to a time-honored restaurant like Cheap Lane, He Yuzhu was really afraid that the two of them would be beaten out.

"Why not? If I say it's okay, it's okay.”As Li Anran spoke, she dragged the other party and pushed him out of the door.

"Don't push me, don't push me. I'll walk by myself." He Yuzhu, who was pushed out of the door, could only accept his fate. However, when he turned around, he saw Li Anran locking the door.

He wanted to say that there had never been a thief in the courtyard, but he thought of the joke and decided to shut up.

Under Li Anran's exhortation, the two of them left the courtyard house without saying anything. They just said that Li Anran had just arrived and wanted to go out for a walk.

However, when the news spread, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Old Lady Zhang guessed that the two brothers had gone out to eat.

Second Uncle and Third Uncle only said a few words of jealousy, and then they focused on Li Anran's background, but Old Madam Zhang.

"Silly Zhu, you're already out eating, but you can't bear to leave those two boxes of food.”

"I was hoping to improve my diet. Look at how thin my grandchildren are.”

After saying that, he smacked his lips. Not only was his eyes full of resentment, but he also hated Li Anran.

This fellow could still look so rich in the 1960s, but his family's conditions were very poor. Everyone tasted, everyone tasted carefully!

With He Yuzhu, the local boss, Li Anran first went to the snack shop to buy some snacks.

Fortunately, there were different grades of desserts here. The middle to high grade desserts required a snack ticket, but the low grade desserts did not require a snack ticket, only a food ticket.

Li Anran took a look and bought a lot of glutinous rice strips and small forks for the salesperson to pack separately. She also took some snack tickets from He Yuzhu and bought some peach cakes, beef tongue cakes, and crispy skin.

When the two of them left the snack shop, they were both carrying the bags that were given to them by the shop. It couldn't be helped that Li Anran's batch was considered a big customer, and the food stamps were all national food stamps. They could make a small profit without worrying about anything.

Of course, there was also the reason that Li Anran was handsome and good at talking. Otherwise, with the attitude of the salesperson in this era, he could only dream about it!

After buying the desserts, the two of them finally tasted the authentic Bianyifang stewed roast duck as they wished.

He Yuzhu originally thought that half a duck would be enough. After eating the duck rack, he could bring it home to make soup. Coupled with the vegetables and staple food he brought, the two of them would be full.

However, after arriving at the place, Li Anran did not want to do it. He called two ducks directly. Because they were fat enough, these two ducks alone cost 20 yuan.

Don't think that 20 yuan is cheap. This is 20 yuan from 1965!

An ordinary family of three could eat for a month with just five yuan.

In addition to the duck, Li Anran also ordered a fried pork for 1.6 yuan and a dried fried tenderloin for 2.1 yuan.

The big bowl of duck soup was 0.6 yuan, so Li Anran directly ordered a bowl for each person.

He ordered another half a catty of rice. This was cheap. It was three cents per tael, so half a catty was exactly 0.15 yuan.

Considering that He Yuzhu was a northerner, Li Anran ordered two more lotus leaf pancakes for 0.2 yuan.

Altogether, this meal cost more than 25 yuan. Even though He Yuzhu's income was not low, he still felt heartache.

What kind of joke was this? His monthly salary was only 37.5 yuan. How could he not feel heartache when a meal cost him more than half a month's salary?

Originally, Li Anran wanted to order a bottle of Moutai from this era to try. He actually didn't like to drink, but he couldn't resist the fact that Moutai was cheap now.

The market retail price was less than 5 yuan per bottle. Even if the cheap store sold it more expensive, it was still a cheap one for Li Anran.

Unfortunately, He Yuzhu, who had already ordered so many dishes, refused to agree no matter what. He felt that it was too expensive and not worth it.

In the end, Li Anran could only change it to Erguotou, which cost 1.31 yuan per bottle.

As for the dishes that the two of them brought, He Yuzhu initially thought that they definitely wouldn't help to return the pot. However, he didn't expect that Li Anran would agree after chatting with the waiter who collected the money.

Well, in addition to chatting for a while, Li Anran also secretly stuffed a dollar into his pocket and bought two bottles of Maotai.

There was no need for a ticket to buy alcohol in a restaurant like Cheap Lane. It was just a little more expensive than outside.

In the end, after the dishes were heated up, the chef actually personally brought the dishes out from the back. He said that he could tell that this dish was not something that ordinary people could cook and wanted to get to know his peers.

In the end, when he heard He Yuzhu's name, he actually knew about it. After learning that Li Anran was also the successor of the Tan family's dishes, he insisted on toasting.

When the chef went back, Li Anran stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the front door. See, this cigarette was useful.

Needless to say, the cigarettes were not given for nothing. When the dishes were served, Li Anran and He Yushu realized that the amount of dishes was obviously much more than normal.

The two of them, who were full, each carried a few oilpaper bags and lunch boxes, and walked back.

There were still vegetables in the lunchbox in her pocket, but they were not the vegetables that He Yuzhu brought from the factory. The two of them finished them when they ate.

A lunchbox was filled with half a piece of stewed roast duck, the kind that he had never eaten before. There was also a layer of fried pork and fried tenderloin underneath.

The other lunchbox was filled with sauces, side dishes, and rolls for the roast duck. There were also lotus leaf pancakes from two families.

However, this food was not for the little widow Qin Huairu. Li Anran was not that cheap. She clearly knew that the Qin family's elders and children were all ungrateful wolves and vampires, yet she still rushed to lick them.

This was not the time to eat and chat. When he heard from He Yuzhu that there was a deaf old lady in the backyard of the courtyard house who usually took good care of him, Li Anran took advantage of the situation and specially prepared these things for the old lady.

In the entire Siheyuan, the one who treated He Yuzhu the best was none other than the Deaf Old Lady.

That's right, the Deaf Old Lady also hoped that He Yuzhu could send her off, but after she passed away, she also left the house to He Yuzhu. Usually, she would also use her identity as the oldest in the Siheyuan to clean up after He Yuzhu.

In comparison, although First Uncle and First Aunt also wanted He Yuzhu to take care of them in their old age, First Uncle could not be completely biased towards He Yuzhu in some matters.

Perhaps in his opinion, as the first master of the Siheyuan and the " director ", he should be fair and impartial when doing things, and he should also maintain his authority.

However, he never thought that since he wanted to be fair and maintain his authority, why would he expect He Yuzhu to support him in his old age?
