Chapter 29 Buy Buy Buy
After hiding the money, Xu Shiyan took his wife's hand and came out of the alley.
"Let's go, daughter-in-law, I'll take you shopping." Xu Shiyan was very proud, and with big strides, he led Su Anying straight to the department store.
"What to buy? The things here are too expensive, right? Let's go home quickly."
Su Anying looked at the tall building in front of her, feeling apprehensive for a while.
Before she got married, Su Anying had never been out of Daying Commune, let alone Tonghua.
Stayed in the hotel last night, the four floors surprised her for a long time, the building in front of her was taller than the hotel, she was dizzy looking at it.
"Can that work? We finally came back to the city, and we can't buy something to go back? Not to mention anything else, we have to bring something for the family, right?"
With money in his pocket, Xu Shiyan has a stiff waist and a lot of toughness in his speech. "Come on, let's go in and have a look around, and we'll buy whatever we see."
Su Anying was amused by her husband's arrogance, "I can buy whatever I like, and I have to have a ticket if I want to buy it."
Thinking of this, Su Anying feels relieved, anyway, they don't have tickets in their hands, and they can't buy much, so let's go in and have a look.
Hearing Su Anying's words, Xu Shiyan shook his head secretly. This is a department store in the city after all. Do you really think it is the same as the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune?
The goods here are more complete and higher-grade, and there are often some things that don’t cost tickets. If you’re lucky, you can find a lot of good things.
The two entered the door just like that, and started shopping mode.
As soon as she entered, Su Anying felt that her eyes were not enough, so she looked left and right, it didn't matter where she looked.
The dazzling array of products on the counter is a hundred times better than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives. There are so many and so beautiful.
When a country bumpkin enters the city, everything he sees is novel. At this moment, Su Anying didn't say that he was going to leave, but went to look at the counters one by one, looking at the goods curiously.
Xu Shiyan looked at his daughter-in-law's surprised expression, and couldn't help being amused and distressed.
"When there is a chance in the future, I will take you to the provincial capital for a stroll, it will be more lively there."
The two spent two or three hours walking around in the department store.
The harvest is also huge. I bought a lot of things. In the end, if Xu Shiyan really couldn't carry it anymore, he would still want to buy it again.
"Okay, I spent all the two hundred yuan on me, and you spent a lot on you, let's go back."
Su Anying finally found out, no wonder her father-in-law called her man a prodigal son, it really makes sense.
Just in the department store at this moment, he spent more than three hundred. If the hospital expenses in the morning are added, it can catch up with a person's salary for a year.
With such a purchase method, no amount of money is enough for him.
Seeing that Xu Shiyan still wanted to buy it, Su Anying quickly grabbed her husband and dragged Xu Shiyan out of the department store.
The two of them were so happy shopping that they even forgot to eat lunch. Xu Shiyan felt hungry when he came out now.
"Let's go, take me to a state-run restaurant for dinner, let's order two delicious dishes." It is rare to come to the city, and I have to let my daughter-in-law taste the dishes in the big restaurant.
Su Anying couldn't hold back her husband, so Xu Shiyan dragged her into a restaurant affiliated with Tonghua Hotel.
In the state-run restaurants of this year, there is no waiter to say anything, and the staff are not like the later generations, who come in and rush forward to entertain a guest.
People just sit behind the counter, you have to go to order, and there is no menu, just a blackboard on the wall, which says what is served today.
It’s time to get to the restaurant, so there must be some hard food.
Considering that Su Anying's appetite is not very good when she is pregnant, Xu Shiyan ordered a plate of meat in a pot. This thing is sweet and sour, and he must like it.
Another serving of stewed tofu with braised pork, meat and vegetables, balanced nutrition. Served with two servings of four taels of rice, it is almost enough to eat.
After ordering the food, paying for the food and food stamps, the two sat there and waited.
After a while, the dishes were ready and served, and they were ready to eat.
"Daughter-in-law, try this meat, it's sweet and sour, you must like it." Xu Shiyan put two pieces of pot-packed meat in Su Anying's bowl and asked her to eat it.
This pot of meat is cut into large pieces with lean meat, wrapped in batter and deep-fried in oil pan. After deep-fried, it is thickened with sweet and sour sauce. Every piece of meat is covered with sweet and sour sauce.
The finished pot-packed meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour. One bite, it is absolutely amazing.
When did Su Anying eat this?
When a bite of meat is put into the mouth, the sweet and sour taste fills the mouth, and the secretion of saliva suddenly increases, which makes people appetite.
After shopping for so long, I’m already hungry, why don’t you shake off your cheeks?
The dishes in Northeast China are relatively large. In fact, one dish is usually enough for two people.
However, people in this year have empty stomachs and eat less oil and water, so they eat a lot.
Coupled with the fact that the two of them had been shopping for so long, they were already hungry, and they ate hungrily. They really didn't eat less.
Even so, there were some dishes left in the end.
Su Anying quickly dug out the newly bought aluminum lunch box, rinsed it with water, and then put all the leftovers into the lunch box.
"The two of us don't need to go out to eat at night, just eat leftovers and pancakes." Su Anying glanced at the staff over there and whispered.
This meal cost several dollars, Su Anying felt distressed while eating, but she couldn't go out to eat at night no matter what.
How can my daughter-in-law be able to hide it from Xu Shiyan with her intelligence? He didn't say anything, just nodded with a smile, packed his backpack, and went out with Su Anying.
After leaving the state-run restaurant, Xu Shiyan went to a dim sum shop not far away and bought the most famous dim sum in the city, a fork and fire spoon.
Old soup and noodles, made into a pocket-like fire spoon. The inside is filled with meat, and the outside is sticky with sesame seeds. It is baked on a charcoal fire with a fork, and then put into the oven after it is browned on both sides.
The meat stuffing in the fire spoon is cooked with more than 30 kinds of stomach-strengthening, nourishing and seasoning Chinese herbal medicines until the pork belly is half-cooked, and then grilled.
To sum up, the characteristics of this fire spoon are unique flavor, fragrant but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and golden in color. It was rated as a famous Jilin dish by the province in 1964.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, making Su Anying frown in distress.
Xu Shiyan didn't care, why can't he eat something good when he has money?
"Let's go back tomorrow, and we have to take a long car, so save food on the way."
His wife is pregnant with a child, what if she doesn’t eat something good? If you have this condition, you must buy it. What to eat and what to drink, the most important thing is to take care of your body.
Just like that, under Su Anying's distressed expression, the couple returned to the hotel.
It was a tiring day. I didn’t feel much when I went shopping, but when I came back and lay on the bed, my whole body hurt and I didn’t want to wake up at all.
I ate late in the afternoon, and I ate too much, so I didn’t even eat at night, and just slept until morning.
Woke up early in the morning, with leftovers, pancakes, and hot water, and the two of them ate with gusto. After eating, I packed up my things and went straight to the train station.
At 6:30, an express train from Shenyang to Baihe passed through Tonghua.
The two bought tickets and got on the train. They wandered on the road for another six or seven hours, and arrived at Songjianghe Station at around 1:30 in the afternoon.
