Liu Qing did not dare to move his chopsticks!
Today was not the New Year!
Today was not a festival!
She was also not a member of Chu Mengxi's family.
She felt that she was not worthy of such luxurious food!
She silently picked up her cornbread and took a bite, but it tasted like wax.
Delicious food was in front of him, but he didn't dare to eat it.
This was too much!
Chu Mengxi saw Liu Qing's dilemma and picked up a piece of red and soft braised pork rib for her.
"Liu Qing, try my husband's cooking. Don't stand on ceremony.”
"Ah ~! Thank, thank you!"
Liu Qing was so grateful that he burst into tears. Then, he looked up and saw that the lunch box had been split into two. Half of it was braised pork ribs, and the other half was fried prawns.
They were all filled to the brim, with no gaps at all!
Good fellow!
The amount was really enough!
May I ask Chu Mengxi's husband, did you pick up the pork ribs from the streets?
Liu Qing took a bite of the braised pork ribs. The salty taste and a hint of sweetness spread in his mouth.
It was oily but not greasy, and it also contained a special taste. It felt like walking in a fairyland.
It was delicious!
It was even more delicious than the food made in the big restaurants outside!
Liu Qing gave full marks to the braised pork ribs.
It was impeccable.
"Can…can I still try this fried prawn?”
Liu Qing asked in embarrassment. He felt like a child asking for permission to eat.
She really wanted to eat it.
Chu Mengxi found it a little funny and nodded."
"Sure, you can pick it yourself."
Liu Qing tasted a fried prawn.
The prawn shell was red and crispy, and it fell off as soon as it touched the mouth. The prawn meat was fresh and tender, slightly sweet and sour, and had a unique flavor.
Liu Qing felt like his taste buds were about to explode.
It was still full marks.
"Can…can I still try the pickled fish?”
Wu Zhengping couldn't stand it anymore. He looked at Liu Qing with a strange expression.
You weren't so polite when you were eating my red braised pork just now!
"No need to ask. If you want to eat, just pick it up."”
The pickled fish was packed in a single rice box, which was full.
The fragrance of the white and tender green fish filled his nose.
Liu Qing ate a piece. The fish meat was delicate and refreshing, and the soup had the taste of pepper. It was rich and even.
After taking a bite, he was already unable to stop.
Wu Zhengping saw that Liu Qing had already eaten three times, so he couldn't hold back.
He picked up the braised pork ribs with his chopsticks.
With delicious food in front of him, he couldn't care less.
As long as one was thick-skinned, they could eat their fill!
He also wanted to compare whether his braised pork was better or Chu Mengxi's husband's braised pork ribs.
With just a small bite, a rich salty fragrance filled his entire mouth along the tip of his tongue.
With just one bite, the difference was obvious.
Wu Zhengping had to admit that his uncle's braised pork was not on the same level as this braised pork ribs.
Completely defeated!
His uncle had more than 20 years of cooking experience, but he lost to the young Li Xia.
Who was he going to reason with!
The surrounding employees watched the four of them eat.
This didn't seem like an ordinary lunch, but a feast!
How much was an ordinary table?
It was only 11 or 12 yuan.
The dishes that Chu Mengxi's husband made would cost more than ten yuan in a big restaurant!
One meal cost half a month's salary of the ordinary employees in the textile factory!!
Could it be that Chu Mengxi's husband had found a mine?
Everyone found it hard to understand!
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
The working bell rang from the moment they finished their meal to the textile room.
The four of them ate until their stomachs were round, and their faces were filled with satisfaction.
One could imagine how much Li Xia's meal was worth!
Was he afraid that his wife wouldn't be full?
Tsk tsk tsk!
This husband is too good!
Where could she find such a husband?
Wu Zhengping looked at Li Xia. He had given up!
In front of Li Xia, he was utterly defeated!
Chu Mengxi would be very happy if she followed him!
After the meal, Li Xia told Chu Mengxi to hurry to the textile room to work. He would clean up the lunchboxes.
That afternoon.
Many workers in the No. 3 textile room began to approach Chu Mengxi.
This caused Chu Mengxi's popularity to improve.
Everyone was very polite to Chu Mengxi.
How could Chu Mengxi not know the reason?
However, she didn't care if others were envious or curious.
Her attitude towards others was no different from before.
……
Now that he had the donkey cart, Li Xia no longer needed to take the Route 11 bus, which freed his legs.
In the past, who knew how many pairs of shoes she had worn?
Li Xia rode his donkey around the county town.
His wallet was full today.
The income from selling fish in the morning was 101 yuan and 13 cents.
The eel noodle shop owner bought all the eel and loach, earning 38 yuan and 40 cents.
The precious wild herb, Chong Lou, was sold for a total of 62 yuan and 40 cents.
He spent 3.60 yuan on two catties of pork ribs.
Li Xia drove the donkey cart to an empty corner and counted the money.
"It's a total of 198.33 yuan, not a penny less.”
Li Xia arranged the money. He placed a few big bills at the bottom, followed by one or two dollar bills. At the top was a stack of bills, forming a ladder.
It was like a thick stack of bricks.
Li Xia tied it up with a rubber band and put it in a plastic bag.
Money was meant to be spent. This was true.
"Buy some fabric for my wife and the two milk dumplings to make new clothes.”
Li Xia came to a tailor shop called " Sunshine ". The sign at the door read " Clothing defects, welcome. Seiko repairs, happy birthday."
The tailor shop made and repaired clothes.
Li Xia entered and saw a bald middle-aged man inside. He should be the owner of the tailor shop.
This tailor shop was relatively small. There were two sewing machines, an old-fashioned sewing machine, an iron, fabric stacked at the corner of the table, and all kinds of needlework, buttons, scissors…
Li Xia raised his head and looked at the clothes that had been made and hung on the clothes pole.
The style and workmanship of these clothes were not bad, which meant that the tailor shop owner was very professional.
He was a professional old master.
"Young man, make clothes?" The tailor shop owner greeted him warmly.
"For my wife and child." Li Xia grinned.
"Aren't you going to make a set for yourself?"
The tailor shop owner looked at Li Xia in confusion.
Li Xia lowered his head and looked at his outfit.
The coarse short clothes were very old.
The cloth shoes on the soles of her feet were also torn, revealing half of her toes.
There were several places on his clothes and pants that had been patched up.
This outfit was indeed a little embarrassing.
Li Xia shook his head with a bitter smile. He really hadn't paid attention to his image these past few days.
"Boss, I'll make two sets myself.”
The tailor shop owner nodded and smiled."Is that so? Such a handsome young man dressed sloppily.”
The tailor shop owner helped Li Xia measure it first, then asked,""Your wife and children aren't here? Do you know their size?"
Li Xia nodded.
After two lifetimes, Li Xia was very familiar with the mother and daughter.
She reported their exact size.
The tailor shop owner noted it down in his notebook.
"Boss, children's clothes are about two centimeters bigger. Their bodies grow faster."”
"Yes, I know that." The tailor shop owner nodded.”
After a simple design and drawing, the tailor shop owner wrote a list of cloth.
Buying the fabric according to the size on the fabric list was a little cheaper than buying it blindly. It would not cause too much waste.
Li Xia put away the list of cloth, went out, and got on the donkey cart, heading south to the cloth market.
