Chapter 10 Hot Noodles

   "Xiaoxue, Dad is fine, let's go home too! How much does it cost to live here! Dad is fine!" As soon as Bai Daliang quit, he insisted on going home arguing, and even wanted to sit up.

   "Dad, the doctor told you that you should not move, and you will be put on a bottle in the hospital! You listen to me and don't move around. It didn't cost much, and the medicine didn't cost ten yuan!" Bai Xue had no choice but to lie.

   "Daliang! Don't worry about it, the most important thing is to get well soon! When you leave the hospital, I will borrow the bullock cart from the team to pick you up!" An Quanzi also persuaded from the side.

   "I really..." Bai Daliang just wanted to say that I'm really fine, and was about to sit up, but he felt dizzy and lay back down.

"Dad, don't move around! Play the bottle well, Uncle Quanzi, look at my dad! I'm going out to buy food, and I'll be back soon!" Bai Xue said and ran, and the two of them ran away before they could react. Gone.

  An Quanzi originally wanted to say that she didn't need to go home to eat by herself, but she had already run away, so she could only stay and look at Bai Daliang's hanging bottle.

   "Quanzi, did you really not spend ten yuan?" Bai Daliang suspiciously asked An Quanzi next to him.

"I don't know. I went to find hot water just now, but Xiaoxue said that she didn't spend ten yuan, so she probably didn't spend it! Otherwise, Xiaoxue didn't have any other money, so what would she buy food with?" An Quanzi asked him. Analyzing.

  Bai Daliang felt a little better when he heard that, and he was able to live in peace. He paid all the money and went home arguing not to be hospitalized, wouldn't it be a waste of money.

  Bai Xue came out of the hospital. After struggling for so long, it was already past lunch time. The canteen of the hospital was closed, so she had to go outside to try her luck.

  She saw the state-run hotel on the way here just now, and probably knew the location, so she ran towards the state-run hotel.

  While there was no one on the road, I took out two catties of white flour and two eggs from the supermarket space.

  As she expected, when she arrived at the state-run restaurant, it was already past meal time, and only a 30-year-old eldest sister was cleaning the table.

  She walked in with her things, and the waiter only looked up, then lowered her head to do her own thing, and said something indifferent

   "It's past dinner time!"

  Bai Xue knew that the waiter at this time must have an upturned nostril, so she didn't care about it. Besides, she couldn't afford it even if she didn't have a meal. She only had two yuan and fifty cents in her hand, and she didn't even have a food stamp.

   "Sister, can I borrow the kitchen for a while, and I will pay for it myself! Is that okay? Just use some seasoning or something, can I give you 20 cents?" In fact, 20 cents is enough to eat a big bowl of plain noodles.

  The waitress looked Bai Xue up and down, and then looked at the things in her hands, "We don't have such a rule here, you are not allowed to use the kitchen!" She still had the expression of someone owed her a million.

   "Little girl, what are you going to do with the kitchen?" At this time, a middle-aged uncle came out of the kitchen, with a slightly fat body and a ruddy face. He looked healthy and had never been hungry.

   "I want to borrow a kitchen to make three bowls of noodles..." Bai Xue looked at the middle-aged uncle and replied.

  The chef of the state-owned restaurant who came out of the kitchen squinted his eyes. He really smelled it right, it was the smell of white flour.

  He smelled a unique fragrance of white flour from the kitchen, and when he came out to see what happened, he saw the scene just now.

  He has been a chef for half his life and is particularly sensitive to the taste of food.

   "Bring it in! I'll help you!" He said very eloquently.

  The waitress next to me who was cleaning the table was stunned. When did Chef Wang become so talkative? Isn't he always grumpy and scolding everyone?

  Bai Xue glanced at the shocked waitress, and then at the way the middle-aged uncle stared at the flour in his hand, and understood immediately.

  She was not afraid, and followed the chef into the kitchen.

   "Little girl, the white flour you are holding weighs two catties, right?" Chef Wang asked as soon as he entered the kitchen.

   "Yes! Uncle, I'll just make three bowls of noodles, and if you have more, I'll give you some!" Bai Xue said knowingly.

   "No need! Can the chef be greedy for some noodles? Let me make it for you!" He said, took the two eggs and noodles from Bai Xue's hand, and started to get busy.

  Bai Xue is not polite anymore, seeing how diligent he is, he must have something to ask her.

   After a busy meal, three steaming bowls of meaty white noodles are ready! There was also a piece of egg on top.

  Since Bai Xue only brought out two eggs, Chef Wang evenly divided the two eggs into thirds.

   "Little girl, the noodles are ready! There are still leftovers..."

"Uncle, it's hard work for you to make noodles for me. I won't take back the leftover flour! Thank you uncle for your help today! This is twenty cents, as agreed just now! You take it!" Bai Xue asked Chen Qiyue The five ten cents given were taken out, and two were given to Chef Wang.

   "I won't charge the money. If it's convenient, I'll ask you a question!" Chef Wang looked at Bai Xue and said hesitantly.

   "Uncle, you can ask! I will answer you everything I know!" Bai Xue was still in a hurry to take the noodles back to his father, so she hurriedly replied.

   "Little girl, can you get food? Fine grains and coarse grains are fine!" Chef Wang whispered into Bai Xue's ear.

   "Uncle, I'm a little girl..." Before Bai Xue could say no, Chef Wang spoke again.

"The person who can take out two catties of white flour and eggs to make noodles, and give away the rest generously must be capable! Little girl, it's a life-saving matter. If you can get food, uncle will not treat you badly! Just press Calculate from the black market price! Coarse grains cost one and two catties, and fine grains cost one and fifty catties!"

  Bai Xue took a deep look at Chef Wang and saw that his eyes were full of sincerity, so she asked, "How much do you want?"

  Hearing Bai Xue's question, Chef Wang's eyes flashed with disbelief, and he immediately asked, "Fifty catties, is there any fifty catties?"

  Bai Xue was relieved when she heard that, it was only fifty catties, she could easily get it out, and what she lacked now was money, since this uncle wanted to give her the pillow at the black market price, wouldn't it be a pillow given to her when she was sleepy?

   "Fifty catties of yellow millet, one yuan and five catties! I'll bring it to you in the evening!" Bai Xue readily agreed.

   Both of them spoke in a low voice, for fear that someone might hear them.

   "Okay! Good, good! When it gets dark, I will wait for you at the gate of the state-run hotel!" Chef Wang was as excited as a child.

  At this time, there are no people on the street when it gets dark, so it is not dangerous to trade in front of the state-run restaurant.

It turns out that there are many brothers and sisters in his family. Although he lived a good life as a cook in a state-run restaurant, he is the eldest in the family. Not long ago, his parents and brothers rushed to him with their families, saying that he was starving to death because of lack of food. Yes, he has just had enough to feed his wife and children. How could he feed so many people? He has a little money, but food is not easy to get. Now there is not enough food to eat, and there is not enough room to sleep. For a few days, he was so anxious that his hair turned gray.

  He went to the doctor in a hurry and found a master who could get food and solved the current predicament. Would he not be happy to send people away?

   Fifty catties of yellow millet, ten catties for each of the four younger brothers, and another ten catties from the parents, which is just right for the family. This month's food stamps are enough for the family!
