Chapter 904 Encounter
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, the two of them instantly became like a family when they met. This natural closeness can sometimes be regarded as a kind of magic.
"Aunt Three, is this your nephew?" The people waiting to eat noodles seemed to be regular customers from the surrounding factories, so I asked.
"My nephew! He is from Jiachuan's youngest family!" Third aunt was very proud: "The top scorer in liberal arts in the Sichuan Middle School College Entrance Examination this year! He is a great success for our old Zhou family!"
"Yes?!" Several guests were really shocked: "Oh, this is Wenquxing getting noodles for us..."
"You know how to throw a bamboo pole, but you're no good at it!" Sangu said with a smile: "Your dad said you wrote a book about cooking. I wonder how you still know this?"
"Actually, they are some stories about Sichuan cuisine. These stories exist everywhere, but they are just No one has ever collected it and published it in a book." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I just picked it up off the shelf."
"It's not cheap!" Sangu gave Zhou Zhi the noodles he picked up. A guest brought it over: "I asked your cousin to go to the bookstore to buy it, and he went I came back and said it cost 600 yuan for a set. My God, I have never seen such an expensive book in my life!”
“I remembered it!” A man wearing a white vest said The fat old man with a big cattail leaf fan in his trousers waist began to choose the noodles: "Third aunt, you said that your nephew Is he the one whose books are sold at very high prices in Xinhua Bookstore?” A tall little boy, he became so big and promising in a blink of an eye.”
"That's a book that can be sold in the Xinhua Bookstore!" A man with glasses who looked like a cadre next to him said: "Someone like Secretary Xiao spends 10,000 yuan to publish a collection of poems by himself, and then he is arrested all over the world. What’s the point of just giving it away?”
"That's called not doing other people's business! If you don't want to keep the factory busy, you will do all the tricks all day long!" The fat uncle got angry and took out the cattail leaf fan from his waist and started to fan: "But Xiao Wang, you You're still messing around with others, so you should say less of that. , maybe it will spread to people’s ears one day.”
“I’m afraid of him?” The young cadre looked disgusted: “Didn’t you hear that Lao Xiao is scolding the workers now? I don’t even dare to get off!”
“It’s still the third aunt! It’s great here, everyone in the family is skilled!”
“My dear,” someone said from the side: “These days, if you have a good craft, you can’t go anywhere. Third aunt, I won’t be able to do it one day. Come and learn how to make noodles!”
"That's nonsense. The stove beside the pot is dirty and tired. How can I have the leisure time of the office, newspapers and tea?" Sangu said with a smile, "Xiao Wang, please tell Jianjun Jianmin when you pass by, and say that Elbow is here. , let them all come back tonight.”
"Jianjun and Jianmin may not listen to what I tell you." The little Wang smiled and said: "But don't worry, third aunt, I will call Jianhua when I get to the office and ask Jianhua to ask them to come back."< br>
“Ren Jianhua is already married, Xiao Wang, why don’t you Are you just making excuses to call others?" The man next to him teased: "Let's calm down your worries..."
The face of the man named Xiao Wang suddenly turned red: "Jianhua Now we are still polite when we receive phone calls from our old neighbors. My classmate is a former colleague, so what’s wrong with calling me?”
Although he said that, he was embarrassed to stay for a long time: “Auntie, I’ve eaten, don’t worry, tonight. I guarantee that you will see the founding of the army and the people!”
After the diners had almost dispersed and San Gu had finished packing, she said to Zhou Zhi, "Are you going to buy groceries with me? I'll take you to have something to eat."
"No!" Zhou Zhi See there is still some left Noodles: "I can see that Sangu's skill in keeping regular customers is extraordinary. Why don't we cook noodles and then go buy vegetables after eating."
"You don't mind if you don't mind." It's up to you." San Gu smiled.
"Sit down for a while and teach me. I heard from my dad that this is still a craft inherited from my grandfather?" The third aunt found a small table and sat down: "Your grandfather was Zaoling back then. The Qiao Tiao Er sold a bag of small noodles on one side and glutinous rice noodles on the other. Your father was still young at that time and didn't remember anything. He just listened to what your aunt said. Both your aunt and your father were very good. ”
"Third aunt, please watch carefully when I choose the seasoning. Don't ruin grandpa's signature..." Zhou Zhi began to imitate the third aunt's method just now, adjusting the noodles' seasoning for the two of them, and said: "They are all fine now, Dayong." My brother married Sister Xiaojuaner and now he has a food company that produces soy sauce, bran vinegar, and pickled cabbage buns. , meat sauce buns, and a series of side dishes, the business is quite big."
"My dad is going to Manzhou to work in the next two months, and my mother and grandma should also follow... Three. "Auntie, I just heard some guests chatting. Did my cousin find someone again?"
"Oh..." Speaking of this third aunt, she frowned and sighed, rubbing her hands awkwardly on her apron: "This relationship is actually not very suitable. Your current brother-in-law is more than ten years older than your sister, and he is almost a generation behind!"< br>
“It’s also your sister’s fault. She has to join that model team, it’s just a source of gossip.”
At this time, the noodles have been cooked. Zhou Zhi picked some for himself and his third aunt and brought them over: "It doesn't matter if you are older, as long as the relationship is good. I sent my classmates to Yuzhou this time, and there was one His father is thirty years older than his mother, but the human relationship is equally good.”
"Really? Why is there such a big difference?"
"The conditions are different. My classmate's father started from scratch at a young age and turned himself into a capitalist. Before liberation, he almost became a capitalist. The landowner took a long time to find a bride."
"This is quite unfortunate," said the third aunt, "but the capitalists in the woolen mill before liberation were also. Just like that, steamed buns, rice porridge and pickles were served in the morning, and there was even less fried peanuts than what we have now."
Zhou Zhi also started to eat noodles, and he knew it after one bite: "I knew this was a big deal. In the soup.”
“It’s so delicious!” Sangu said, “No wonder you can make a book out of it!”
"What does brother-in-law do? How did you meet your cousin?" Zhou Zhi asked while slurping noodles.
“After your brother-in-law’s accident, it was very difficult for your sister to take care of Tongtong alone. Later, didn’t the factory organize a model team? Seeing that your sister’s conditions were good, she was recruited into the team. ”
The last time we met was twelve years ago. Zhou Zhi’s appearance of cousin Jianhua was actually very vague. I only remember that the impression I had at that time was that she was pretty, pretty, cheerful and generous, and she liked teasing. Own.
Later I heard that he got married, and then his brother-in-law was involved in a traffic accident and left. However, Zhou Zhi was still a child, so he heard it all and felt nothing.
On the other hand, the model team of Yuzhou No. 1 Woolen Mill was once quite famous throughout the country.
After the re-opening, the woolen mill prospered for several years, and the clothing it produced was even exported overseas.
In order to build up its own brand, the factory trade union organized a group of female workers with excellent conditions to set up a factory-run model team. It was once an open, fashionable and modern corporate cultural symbol and was widely reported by various media.
They even published wall calendars and held touring performances. In the relatively closed and conservative southwest China, they were the most popular for a while.
As a young mother who has given birth to a child, my cousin can still be recruited into the model team, and her own conditions are imaginable.
