Chapter 278

"Or ask now?" Shi Xiaorui suggested.

Yu Qingzhan directly took Shi Xiaorui to the kitchen.

The two cooks in the kitchen are busy preparing dinner. When they see Yu Qingzhan coming, they say hello to her: "madam, will you come to the kitchen to watch the food in the evening? This evening is tofu fish soup, braised elbow, stir fried cabbage, stir fried celery with lily

The two cooks are both over 50 years old, wearing a little old clothes, but they are clean and their nails are short. At least they can't see anything that doesn't pay attention to hygiene with naked eyes, which makes people feel at ease.

Yu Qingzhan looked at the milk white fish soup stewed in the pot and said, "the fish soup is so fragrant. It's hard for you. Go shopping today... "

Did she get a card and ask the price directly?

Shi Xiaorui interface asked: "this fish strange good, how much a Jin ah?"

One of the cooks replied, "Fifty six Wen a Jin."

Shi Xiaorui quickly compared the original price of the county, it is true that the price of fish is up a lot.

Yu Qingzhan also heard out: "how expensive so much?"

On hearing this, the cook thought that Yu Qingzhan suspected that she had quoted a high price for vegetables. She immediately called out: "madam, I really didn't quote a high price. Today's fish is the same price. I also want to buy it cheaper, but even several stalls have the same price. If you don't believe me, I'll be sure I'm not lying."

To be a cook in a county magistrate's family, she not only has a salary, but also is envied by her neighbors. Not to mention that Xu Xin and her husband and wife are very easy to get along with, and almost never ask for embarrassment. She doesn't want to lose this job.

Another cook also hastened to testify for her.

Shi Xiaorui took the opportunity to ask: "then only fish is expensive?"

The cook replied: "it's all expensive. The dishes and meat are more expensive than usual. If only the fish was expensive, I would buy the spareribs stew. It's the same delicious. But since it's all expensive, I'll choose the freshest fish. The master and his wife both like fish..."

As soon as the Cook said that, the topic gradually went awry.

In order to avoid her completely forgetting the topic of the conversation, Yu Qingzhan had to interrupt her: "then why don't you tell me?"

The cook was more at a loss than she was: "isn't it time to report in the middle of the month?"

Another cook also looked at her suspiciously.

What else can Yu Qingzhan say? He can only go out of the kitchen with Shi Xiaorui without disturbing the two cooks to prepare dinner.

Yu Qingzhan didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He broke his fingers to settle the accounts and said with a sad face: "it's really expensive. This month's expenses will go up again. Xu Xin's salary hasn't come down yet. The salary she received before is not new rice. It's a bit old. She has to sell it at a low price and buy new rice to eat. It's a sum of money to buy and sell."

Shi Xiaorui pushed her: "don't break your fingers. Is Xu Xin very busy these days? When did they all come back? "

The price of grain in the county has not gone up as Shi Xiaorui expected, because the county is not very far away from the capital.

If something is really expensive in Beijing, the surrounding vendors will surely come to Beijing to earn a price difference. Once more people sell it, in order to sell what they have in hand faster, some people will not help but reduce the price. As long as the price is reduced by even a cent, the price will gradually recover, but sooner or later.

But if it's something else

Yu Qingzhan said: "Xu Xin has been busy all the time, and he can only spare a few days occasionally. He has made great efforts to make some achievements, but you know the situation in this county. He can only work harder if he wants nothing. I'll be at home at noon when I'm free, and I won't come back late at night when I'm busy. What's the rule

Shi Xiaorui is also worried.

Yu Qingzhan suddenly stopped and said to Shi Xiaorui, "go to the hall first. I forgot when I went to the kitchen just now. I have to ask them to add two more dishes."

Yu Qingzhan is walking fast. Shi Xiaorui can't stop her, so she has to watch her back go away quickly.

When Xu Xin hasn't come back for dinner, Shi Xiaorui accompanies Yu Qingzhan to finish an absent-minded meal.

The delicious fish soup finally came to the table. According to the local custom, the soup was put on the last table, because the soup took up the stomach. At the beginning, the soup was served. There was a suspicion of a miser who didn't want the guests to eat more vegetables, but first let them drink the soup.

Shi Xiaorui is used to drinking soup first when eating at home, because drinking soup first means that there are not so many places in her stomach, and then eat less to avoid stomach swelling. On the contrary, if the last to drink soup, easy to eat more than usual, more times, bad for the stomach.

But Shi Xiaorui also understands the formation of this habit. In the time of material shortage, there are too few opportunities to eat and support. It is more realistic to worry about eating less and malnutrition than to worry about eating too much and getting sick. After all, I can't eat enough. If we talk about nutrition, it's really embarrassing.

After dinner, Shi Xiaorui had something to do with her heart. She ate less. When the fish soup came up, she smelled the strong smell. She suddenly felt that her stomach was still empty. Instead of holding fish and tofu, she only held the pure soup and drank a bowl and a half at a time.

Yu Qingzhan said with a smile: "it seems that this fish soup is the best for you tonight. If you like it, drink more. Don't just drink soup, but also some meat."

Shi Xiaorui is warm all over when she drinks soup. She is tired all afternoon today. She can't help but want to doze off. She puts down her bowl and says, "goodbye, I'm full of it. If I drink it again, I can't sleep at night."

Yu Qingzhan said: "look at your absent-minded when eating, it's quite serious?"

Shi Xiaorui said: "we have to wait for Xu Xin to come back and ask him if he has any exact information. It can't be decided yet. "

After dinner, Shi Xiaorui first sent Xinmeng to bed. She also tossed about for a long time. Carsickness was more serious than Shi Xiaorui's, and now she hasn't recovered. She didn't even eat dinner, so she just had two mouthfuls of fish soup.

In order to wait for Xu Xin to come back, Yu Qingzhan offered a secret recipe and made a large pot of strong tea for Shi Xiaorui, not to mention the fragrance of the tea. If you take a sip, you will be able to recover in an instant.

Shi Xiaorui looked at the pot of biochemical weapons with a shriveled mouth and a wrinkled face, and asked: "where did you buy this from? Is it too bitter? "

Yu Qingzhan said: "it's Xu Xin who brought it from home. Sometimes he is busy until late at night. When he has no spirit, he relies on it to refresh himself."

Shi Xiaorui can't sleep until he can make complaints about it.

Relying on this pot of biochemical weapons, Shi Xiaorui finally survived until Xu Xin came back, and then he was scared.

Xu Xin's hair is disheveled, she is now blue, and her face and body are still covered with gray marks, just like she was robbed.

Yu Qingzhan was also surprised: "what's the matter with you?"?! It's good to go out this morning! "
