Siheyuan: Walking the Path of Qin Huairu

Cai Quanwu said, "I think it's okay. If the price is not suitable, we can adjust it later. Then I will go to Lao Li's house."

In the evening, Xu Huizhen heated up the fish pot slices made by Hongxinglou and had it as dinner. Needless to say, the chef's cooking skills are different, and she can't compare with this cooking skill. But she has the memory of her previous life, so she can make some changes to the dishes. It's not just to challenge them, she just has nothing to do and wants to have fun.

She thought of the Sichuan dish "boiled fish" which became popular all over the country in later generations. This dish was popular in the 1980s and became popular all over the country in the 1990s. It is not greasy, spicy but not dry, numbing but not bitter, and the meat is tender.

Xu Huizhen eats it every now and then. Should I make a boiled fish dish and send it back? After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Such a good recipe, maybe I can use it in the future, so I don't want to argue with them.

The next day, Cai Quanwu went to Hongxinglou to deliver the iron pot. The restaurant was not busy in the morning, and Master Peng was chatting with the shopkeeper Sun in the lobby. After seeing Cai Quanwu, he asked proudly, "Cai Quanwu, what did your shopkeeper say after tasting the food?"

Cai Quanwu said expressionlessly, "My boss said that this dish is only available in heaven and is rarely tasted on earth. Her admiration for you, Master Peng, is like the endless flow of the river and the unstoppable flooding of the Yellow River. To express her gratitude, I will try to send you some leeks before the Spring Festival so that you can eat dumplings with three fresh fillings during the Spring Festival."

These were Xu Huizhen's original words, he just read them out, and turned around and left. He didn't have time to argue with them, he had to continue his business of selling goods. He complained in his heart: "Look at you two, you are fat and big-eared. You can tell at a glance that you work in a restaurant, with plenty of oil and water, and no shortage of food. We ordinary people still have to be more diligent to fill our stomachs."

Master Peng looked at Cai Quanwu's back and muttered, "This compliment is not very real!" Shopkeeper Sun laughed unkindly and said, "This shopkeeper is a wonderful person. I have to meet him when I have a chance. You, don't compete with Cai. We are still counting on him to deliver the food! When doing business, you can't go against money!"

Master Peng nodded in response, rolled his eyes, and said, "Boss, should we secretly find out where his fresh vegetables come from?"

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head and said, "There are rules in the industry. We can't just pry into other people's business secrets."

That morning, Xu Huizhen had nothing to do and wanted to go shopping in the department store.

Since 1953, the central government issued a notice to implement unified purchase and marketing of grain, and later of grain and oil. After implementation, the effect was remarkable, and then industrial products were gradually implemented. The national economy also entered the planned economy era, and all economic production was carried out according to the plan, producing as much as needed to avoid unnecessary waste.

Up to now, although the coupon era has begun, it is a gradual process, and some materials do not yet require coupons to buy. She wants to take the opportunity to stock up on daily necessities that do not require coupons.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Although she was not a rich person in her previous life, her living standard was like heaven compared to now. She was asked to come to this era of material scarcity, to live a life of hunger and cold, and to live a life of not being able to buy things with money. Sorry, she is really not mentally prepared for this.

She walked on the road, looking around as she walked, hoping that if she saw an old lady who needed to cross the road, she could learn from Lei Feng and do a good deed by helping her cross the road. Maybe the system would give her some reward or something.

But ideals are full and reality is very skinny. The old ladies may be at home taking care of their grandchildren and not going out shopping.

Just when she was feeling disappointed, she suddenly heard the mechanical voice of the system: "Host triggers a new mission: Catch the human traffickers. The Justice Infinite System rewards 50 kilograms of cotton and 50 kilograms of cooking oil..."

Xu Huizhen didn't even bother to listen to the rewards that came later. She liked whatever the reward was. She's really not picky.

She looked around, her eyes scanning the surroundings like a searchlight, thinking in her heart: "Where are the traffickers? Who are the traffickers? System, can you explain it clearly? The traffickers don't have a label on their foreheads, which is really worrying."

Xu Huizhen found that her eyesight was really good. The eyes that were poisoned by electronic products in her previous life were gone forever. Now her eyesight can see the faces of people 20 meters away very clearly. I just don't know who to catch! Don't you think it's infuriating?

She secretly warned herself: "Keep calm, don't be impatient, you won't be able to eat hot tofu if you are impatient."

Turning around, I saw a man holding a baby in his arms, his neck hunched, walking towards me in a hurry.

If you think of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will appear! The person holding the child is most likely a human trafficker. In this era, it cannot be said that there are no men holding children on the street, but it can only be said that it is rare.

Xu Huizhen quickly followed him and said, "Brother, your child is so handsome!"

The man turned and looked at her: "Child? Whose child? Where did the child come from?"

Xu Huizhen looked at the swaddling clothes in her arms: "This is not yours..."

Damn it, what she was holding was a flowery bundle, not a child! Xu Huizhen was instantly speechless.

The man said impatiently: "This girl has big eyes, but they reveal her true spirit!"

Xu Hui was really unhappy: "You are a grown man, carrying a flowery bag, is that appropriate?"

The man said confidently: "My wife prepared it for me. What's wrong with that? Is it an eyesore to you?"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes and said, "Forget about the flower bag, but you don't carry it on your shoulders, but hold it in your arms like a woman. How dare you."

The man retorted: "I'm cold, I'm warming up by holding you in my arms. What's the matter? Is it illegal?"

Under the man's unfriendly gaze, Xu Huizhen said hesitantly: "Ahem, ahem, it's not against the law, it's not against the law. I'm just shortsighted."

"She's pretty, but she doesn't look very smart."

The man walked away, mumbling, leaving Xu Huizhen alone, disheveled in the wind. She was a little discouraged, because she was too anxious just now and made a mistake in her haste.
