Back at the shop, Zheng Bajin asked Qingqing to sit aside and rest, and he began to work. He marinated the fish first, and then added ginger, green onion and pepper.
After half an hour, the soup started.
Put some peppercorns and ginger slices in the soup, add an appropriate amount of salt, and simmer for about 20 minutes. Then put the fish into the soup and cook for a few minutes. When it is only medium cooked, take it off the fire. Come down.
Qingqing watched him busy at work and wanted him to rest, but Zheng Bajin's body was as solid as iron and he didn't know how tired he was.
She had already eaten fish cooked by Zheng Bajin, and she didn't care about his skillful techniques.
However, this time, Qingqing tasted a different taste, it seemed to be more delicious than the original fish.
Zheng Bajin’s explanation is that it’s not about the craftsmanship, it’s all about the good fish.
While picking up fish for Qingqing, he advised her to eat more. In this world, nutrition is the most important. Only when the body is well is the last word.
If you are not in good health, no matter how much money you earn, you will not have the strength to spend it.
Qingqing has been listening to him, and she has seen it today. What Zheng Bajin said about good health is that he can scare others with one punch.
If he were a weak young man, he would still be manipulated by Scar and others, and it would be difficult to escape.
Qingqing listened to his words and started eating.
Zheng Bajin also let go of his hands and feet and ate vigorously. After a while, the fish was completely eaten by the two of them, and even asked Qingqing to drink a bowl of soup.
Qingqing felt energized and had forgotten all the unpleasant things that happened in the morning.
At this time, Zheng Bajin cleared away the dishes, washed a bowl of the cherries he bought, and the two of them started eating again.
Qingqing felt very full, but she couldn't resist Zheng Bajin's persuasion and ate a few. She felt that the fully ripe cherries were very sweet, just like Zheng Bajin's mouth.
"Okay, now let's go out for a walk to eat and buy some things." Zheng Bajin said, pulled Qingqing up and locked the door.
"You don't do business anymore?" Qingqing looked at Zheng Bajin strangely, "How about I keep watch while you go out for a walk."
"No, let's go for a walk together. We'll do business another day." Zheng Bajin said, holding her hand and walking towards the street.
I thought to myself, of course I have to hold her hand while she doesn't object now.
From the street behind the municipal government, walk straight to the left for about a hundred meters. There is a street to the east dedicated to selling furniture, such as sofas and beds.
Not to mention having everything you need, it can basically satisfy residents like Zheng Bajin who have just moved into the city.
Zheng Bajin took Qingqing to a place with a relatively large facade.
I saw a large bed, a double sofa, a wardrobe, and a charcoal fire table, which can be used to keep warm in cold weather and can also be used as a dining table.
This kind of stove can only be found in places with cold weather like Qiucheng.
Zheng Bajin didn't want to buy something too good. This thing would be eliminated by technology in a few years. By then, he would have an electric grill table and get a better one.
Qingqing looked at him and asked strangely: "Why do you buy so many things? You usually don't live here, so you have to visit the store."
After hearing Qingqing's words, the boss thought she didn't want to buy it and became a little impatient.
Zheng Bajin smiled: "It's always good to buy some to prepare. Maybe this time, if you really have some, you won't be able to go to the store anymore, so just stay at home and rest."
Qingqing glanced at him and cursed: "You said you have it?" However, she felt a little sweet in her heart, imagining that if she really had it, she would not dare to go out and run around, and she would have to take good care of this hard-won little treasure. .
Only people like her, who get what they ask for, will cherish the hard-won fruits.
With endless anticipation, she followed Zheng Bajin in a daze and bought good things.
She didn't even hear how much it would cost in total.
Zheng Bajin bought a wardrobe, a sofa, and a fire table.
For the boss, Zheng Bajin is considered generous, while everyone else just buys it all at once. His attitude changed a few dozen degrees, so he gave in to him and called a trolley to deliver the goods to his door.
After a small cart full of goods, Zheng Bajin helped push the cart and refused to let Qingqing help, saying that it would be bad if she accidentally got it.
Qingqing was completely blank about such things. After hearing this, she didn't dare to take action. She even walked very carefully. She didn't dare to take big steps and followed in small steps, which made Zheng Bajin feel funny.
After entering the community, Zheng Bajin helped the trolley driver carry the things upstairs and paid the boss several thousand. Only then did he see Qingqing's heartache for a long time.
Prices were low at that time, but things like furniture were not cheap at all.
This is also the reason why some people who made new furniture in the early 1990s made a lot of money.
Zheng Bajin didn't like these at first, so he didn't buy a big bed.
Qingqing asked him strangely: "Don't you want to buy a big bed?"
"I thought about it and decided not to buy it. I will save some money first and buy a better one in the future."
Qingqing couldn't say anything anymore, but looked at him strangely, naturally not believing that he was trying to save money.
After sending the boss away, Qingqing said: "There is no bed, where can I sleep? Why don't you use the floor? Didn't you say that the floor is too hard and too cold, right..."
"Is it bad for future babies?" Zheng Bajin joked with a smile.
"Yes!" Qingqing looked a little angry.
"How can I let you sleep on the ground? Aren't there two ready-made wooden beds here? Although they are old, they are very environmentally friendly. Let's make do with it first." Zheng Bajin said, pointing to the wooden bed that Lao Wang left behind. bed.
"It's so narrow, how can I sleep after having a baby?" Qingqing complained with a red face.
"It's better to be narrower!" Zheng Bajin said with a smile, "This will make it easier to create humans! This is called rational use of space."
Qing Qing glanced at him, suddenly put down her shame, and said even more shamelessly than him, "Come on, what are you waiting for?"
With that said, he really pounced on Zheng Bajin.
This sudden move shocked Zheng Bashou. This change came too fast, right? He couldn't believe it, was this still his Qingqing?
He said hurriedly: "Be careful, be careful, if there is already one, I'm afraid of hurting him."
Qingqing was stunned for a moment, and became very cautious again, which made Zheng Bajin laugh like a pig in his heart: If you want to fight with me, you are still a little too young.
…
Next, Zheng Bajin asked Qingqing to stay in the community and told her not to go out.
She was really afraid of hiding, so she stayed carefully and carefully, and looked very obedient.
Zheng Bajin was very proud and went out to buy some coal.
At this time, there were already several riverside people in the city pushing carts to deliver coal to people.
Zheng Bajin found a man who looked to be in his thirties. After agreeing on the price, he asked him to deliver 200 kilograms of coal to the community.
Along the way, Zheng Bajin asked him curiously: "Now that the price of food has increased, isn't it good for you to farm at home? Why do you think that you can't make much money even if you come here to give away two cents a catty of coal?" "
"Well, you can't make much money. The cost of a pound of coal is 18 cents. If you give a pound of coal for free, depending on the floor, it's usually an extra point for the next floor. If you're on the third floor, it's supposed to be an extra three cents. But, you Only two points?" The man said helplessly.
"But, I thought about it for a moment. I have nothing to do. I will give you two hundred catties. Isn't it just two yuan?"
