Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 10 White Face
Thinking of this, he followed the workers into the canteen, where everyone was carrying small basins to prepare food.

"Where's your basin?" The cook looked at Qin Hao, "Why don't you take the basin and hold it with your hands?"

Qin Hao was not angry, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I forgot to bring one, can you lend me one?"

He couldn't eat without a rice bowl, so he had no choice but to borrow one shamelessly.

The cook was a woman in her 50s. Seeing how young he was, she sighed and brought him a rice bowl and gave him a portion.

"Remember to take it back after you finish eating, but don't take it away."

Hearing this, Qin Hao smiled helplessly and nodded. He was not like that. He had helped me, but would he stop eating here in the future just for a basin?
The food in the cafeteria is pretty good, including stewed cabbage and tofu, and a potato slice with fried chili, which tastes pretty good.

Qin Hao ate a bowl, and then went to get another one.

When the lady serving food saw that he was quite good at eating, she smiled and said, "Those young people don't like eating in the cafeteria, but you are quite good at eating."

Young people either go out to eat instant noodles or eat box lunches from outside. Although the food in the canteen is free, it is not greasy and the ingredients are not enough.

Hearing this, Qin Hao was a little puzzled, "Isn't this good? It costs money to eat outside."

"Today's fast food has a strong taste, and young people like to eat it. The food in the canteen is clear soup with little water, so I just eat some meat to save energy." The aunt also understands that young people are used to eating those things, and this kind of food is really hard to swallow.

Qin Hao didn't say anything else and continued to eat with a small basin in hand.After working all morning, he ate three basins of food, which frightened the lady who brought him food.

This amount of food is really amazing. The main reason is that nowadays, who doesn’t eat some meat every three days?Basically there is no shortage of food, there are few things that are so edible.

It's easier to be hungry if there's oil and water in your stomach. Qin Hao's stomach contained a little fat and meat from last night, which had already been digested.

After dinner, Qin Hao followed everyone to the building to rest. He started working at one o'clock in the afternoon. Now is the time to rest.

Lying on the concrete floor, the weather is quite cool. It must be that summer has not yet started. In June in the Northeast, it is only a little hot at noon, and after two o'clock, the weather becomes cold.

Qin Hao has adapted to working as usual in the afternoon and knows to take a proper 2-minute rest when moving things.

Although he has no brains, he is not a fool either.It’s okay to be flexible, and no one doing work these days is doing it to death.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the foreman Zhang Luo got off work. Because it was a relatively good project, their wages were paid once a day.

Qin Hao squeezed the 150 yuan in his hand, feeling extremely comfortable, as if the blisters on his hands no longer hurt.

"Brother, we will arrive at six o'clock tomorrow morning. The weather has been very good these two days. If it rains, we have to rest." Yang Guoqing was afraid that the young man would not come tomorrow after taking the money, so he quickly warned.

Nowadays, many young people stop working after earning a day's money. When they spend all the money, they will come out to work again.

It's okay for such a person to work part-time, but not working on a construction site. If you can't find someone every day, then what's the risk of your life?

Hearing this, Qin Hao naturally nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I will definitely come early."

With this 150 yuan, he couldn't be happier.

Before the bus stopped, he hurried back to town.I didn’t buy any meat today. I bought twenty kilograms of noodles and took them home.

Three yuan per catty is considered the cheapest, and there are cheaper ones at two and a half yuan per catty. You can tell at a glance that they are bad. Not only are there insects in them, but they are also unclean.

Modern flour and rice are very white. Qin Hao touched the bag in his hand, feeling extremely happy.

As long as you can make money, your wife can have enough to eat!

Qin Hao had 60 yuan to buy white noodles, and Qin Hao still had 22 yuan left. In addition to the previous 110 yuan, he still had [-] yuan, because he had bought a bus ticket for one yuan.Carrying these things, he hurried back. It was still dark when he got home, but it was almost seven o'clock, right?
Qin Hao stood at the entrance of the vegetable cellar and listened to the noise outside, making sure that no one went out.

The cat bent down and passed under the window, opened the door directly and entered the house.

"Ah, I'm back!" Li Meiling was cooking. She pushed the firewood in her hand into the pit and then walked over to pick up the things.

She could tell at a glance that the heavy bag was flour. When she opened the bag and looked, it turned out to be white flour.

"So white! Is it twenty pounds?" She had a smile on her face and felt happy in her heart.

In the past two days, I have not only eaten meat, but also rice. Today I have white noodles again.

"Twenty pounds is just right, what should I cook? I'm hungry." Qin Hao lost his previous excitement, and now he was so tired that he really wanted to fall asleep immediately.

"Cooked rice! I know you are tired from working, so let's eat dry food today." Li Meiling put down the things and poured water for him.

Qin Hao drank a large bottle in one go and then went to wash it.The construction site was very gray, and after he washed his hair, the basin was full of muddy water.

Not only do you need to wash your hair, but you also need to wipe your body.If it weren't for the cold weather now, he would have gone to the river to take a bath.

There are no shower rooms for bathing in rural areas in the Northeast. There are bathhouses in towns, but they cost [-] cents a time.

Even though he has earned a lot of money from working these two days, he may not have earned a penny of the money he spent at this time.

"The food is ready, let's eat." Li Meiling carried the food into the room and quickly picked up the bowls and chopsticks.

Qin Hao was very tired, so he didn't help. After eating two large bowls of rice, he felt that he finally recovered.

Their rice bowl is very big, four or two bowls.

"Are you exhausted?" Li Meiling felt a little distressed, but she couldn't say "Don't do this".

What man doesn’t provide for his family?She couldn't even think about what she had brought back in the past two days. Throughout the year, everyone could only sell grain to exchange for some fine grain, but their family now had more than 30 kilograms.

Rice and wheat are not grown everywhere in the Northeast. Most of the crops grown here are soybeans and corn, so you have to buy fine grains.

"It's okay, but I'm not used to it. I'll be fine if I work for two days." Qin Hao disagreed. What kind of work is not tiring?He has no business acumen and is not afraid to contribute.

Are you still afraid of being tired?

Li Meiling didn't say anything. After dinner, she brought him water to wash his feet.

"What are you doing? You're not needed." Qin Hao saw that she was about to take her foot and hid quickly.

"I'm going to wash your feet. You're so tired from working, and I can't help you. What can I do to wash your feet?" Li Meiling's feet were all red. This was her first time washing someone's feet.

When you were a girl at home, you didn't even mention washing your parents' feet. How could you still be criticized?

Qin Hao pulled her up and said, "Just rest. It's not like I don't have long hands. When I get old and can't move, you can continue to serve me."

The couple is always polite when talking to each other, and understanding each other is the most important thing.Of course, it's not that he understands, but because he feels sorry for his wife.

Maybe he only understood the meaning after experiencing it a lot.
