Chapter 245 Two good-looking gluttons
When the woman saw that the two of them really didn't seem to be making fun of her, she was about to take the work card with suspicion, but suddenly she retracted her hand as if she had been burned.
"I, I don't have change from my work score card, you guys"
Her eyes fell on the small pile of grain packed in straw bags next to the bucket. Obviously, that was their common "currency".
Li Cang casually pulled off a piece of the jerky and threw it into his mouth. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the jerky tasted good and was salty.
"Take it! Is there rice in the bag? Do you use this to trade? How do you calculate it with the work score card and dried meat?"
"It's not rice, it's all kinds of grass seeds, but now everyone calls it cereals, which sounds nicer. One bag is about 7 and a half, a little more than 7 and a half. So, 3 bags of small pieces of dried meat, 5 bags of large ones. Now The regular price of 1 kilogram of rice on the market is about 0.4 work points. Theoretically, 1 kilogram of rice and 7 noodles can be exchanged for at least 10 small bags of these grains. However, grains cannot be exchanged for rice, and no one will directly use work points to buy grains."
Li Cang opened a bag of grains and poured it into his hand.
Unshelled weed seeds come in different colors and sizes and are very messy, but the particles are all larger than millet.
Probably because it needs to be shelled and eaten. If it is too small, the operation will be more complicated and the loss will be higher.
Li Cang put the grains back into the bag, put the bag in the little girl's hand, and winked at her.
"Boss, boss, do you want hare? It's fresh and very tender."
"Would you like to see the silver bracelet?"
"A very well-carved ivory bead string, maybe this is the only one in the entire base!"
The people around him gathered around him like a silly boy from a landlord's house, trying hard to sell various things.
"Let's go, goodbye little sister~"
"Thank you soon, brother and sister!"
"Thank you~"
The little electric buzzer started up.
Li Laixi held the dried meat she bought from Li Cang and tasted it.
"Hiss, it's fishy and spicy, is this edible?"
"It's okay," Li Cang said, "Our Grandpa Wang, cough, Grandpa Zhong has done it a few times, and it tastes quite good after getting used to it. He said it tastes a bit like civet. The old man has always been worried about civets. I feel proud of my wit for thinking of using this thing to supplement myself after eating it.”
"How many cards did you put in that bag?"
"A 20 card is worth a bag of rice. I hope they don't really use that card just to buy rice."
"Shengmei's favor and rice's hatred are equal to each other!"
"You are writing your composition here."
Gradually, the buildings on both sides of the main road began to become regular, and in the central area, it was almost the same as the township market before the disaster.
“Soy milk, fried dough sticks, tofu brain and shredded potato burrito~”
“Tujia sauce-flavored pancakes, no extra price if added spicy!”
“Hot dry noodles and sesame sauce are so authentic!”
“Sheep soup~”
"Xiao Mian Xiao Mian!"
"Little wontons, chicken, pork, fresh shrimps, shepherd's purse, chrysanthemum, and pepper~"
There were quite a lot of people on the street, and the little electric car was walking slowly.
"How about mutton soup?"
“One work share is a big bowl, and free soup refills. Why don’t you have a bowl, with mutton fat and spicy rice!”
To be honest, Li Cang was "shocked". After all, according to the price at Uncle Hei's Seafood Market yesterday, one work point could almost buy 1 kilogram of giant shrimps that were longer than a palm!
After randomly asking a few companies, the two found that the prices of ingredients related to large animals are often much higher, and some require the use of certain types of seasonings, such as white pepper powder, wood ginger seed oil, etc. Occasionally you will be asked to pay bills separately.
It is understandable that two months after the disaster occurred, it was the period when all kinds of materials were most scarce. Many food crops had not yet yielded any output after being planted. The bagged grains that were previously traded were examples.
"Eat the ravioli, they look great."
"good"
The little wonton shop is not big, with two rows of huge stainless steel basins at the door, filled with various fillings.
The fat auntie is very enthusiastic and talks a lot: "Are you having little wontons? What kind of fillings are there? One work share of pork is two large bowls, one work share of pork and shepherd's purse is three bowls, and one work share of whole shrimp is three bowls. If you like, pork and pork For the shepherd's purse, I can add some shrimp and mushroom paste to it, it will be especially fresh, but many people don't like it now, thinking that I want to take advantage of their pork."
"Is pork at the base very expensive now?"
"The price dropped a bit this morning. Yesterday it was 2.7 work points per kilogram, and today it is 2.6. Drink water." The fat aunt poured two cups of hot water and put them on the table. "White pepper is going up, but luckily I saved it." Young and old alike, I heard that there are a lot less goods coming from outside this week, and I don’t know when the first crop of peppers and chili peppers from the farm will be produced. It will probably be much cheaper by then.”
"First, let's have a bowl of pork and shepherd's purse and a bowl of pork and shrimp," Li Leisi asked, "Can Auntie make pork and coriander?"
The fat aunt looked like she knew something and pointed to the back door.
"I planted a ridge of coriander later, and it's growing well. I'll make two bowls for you to eat first, and then I'll chop the coriander and chop the stuffing. Auntie's wontons are all freshly made. If you eat them once, you won't forget them. "
"good!"
When it comes to small wontons, they really are small wontons.
Each little finger is almost as big as a lace finger, dragging two slender and thin tails, like little goldfish.
The fat aunt even had chubby hands, but she moved very fast, like a human-shaped self-propelled wonton machine. Her hand speed shocked Li Cang.
"Amazing, isn't it?" said the fat aunt with a smile. "I used to make wontons. I've been making them for decades. Everyone in this area knows that my wontons are delicious."
As she spoke, two bowls of wontons were served.
The clean soup was not very rich and smelled almost tasteless, with only a hint of freshness. However, when Li Cang saw the ribbon-like wonton "tails" floating in it and the fillings that were so full that they were about to burst under the translucent wonton skin, he couldn't stop drooling.
The fat aunt brought a whole tray of bottles and jars.
"Coriander, chopped green onions, white pepper, chili sauce, chili oil, this jar is roasted and crushed ground fish meal, and there should have been dried shrimps and fried shrimp roe, but now there are none. The shrimps and shrimp roe from the blacks are so big and salty that they are not suitable. You can put whatever you like."
My aunt is amazing!
Although the wontons are small, there are a lot of them and the bowls are big.
One spoonful of wontons can scoop several of them, and you can eat them with the soup and water. After taking a sip, the full stuffing mixed with the juice inside bursts again, and the taste and texture are amazing!
The fat aunt only knew that some people became very greedy after the doomsday, but she didn't expect that there would be such a greedy person. When the two of them left, she was still staring at the two cards with 10 work points and one card with 5 work points in her hand.
After making a bowl, the other side finished a bowl. I didn't realize it when I was busy. When I paid the bill, the fat aunt was shocked.
Including the takeaways, there were a total of 40 bowls of wontons!
Is this a person?
They are simply two particularly good-looking gluttons!
"I ate two more bowls than you!"
"Did you drink the soup?"
"No."
"I drank it!"
"."
Oh, men have a strange competitive heart.
