Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 11 Go to the breakfast shop for breakfast

This is how it is in rural areas. If you get up in the morning and have something to do, you will get busy immediately. I don’t even wash my face. As for brushing my teeth, I don’t brush my teeth at all.

It’s true that you don’t brush your teeth, and even if you don’t watch, people’s teeth are not yellow in this day and age. The person is thin and has a sallow complexion, but his teeth are fine.

The main reason is that people in this era can’t eat anything good, there is no oil and water, and the food they eat is rough, and the teeth usually rub against each other and are not dirty. Unlike the food eaten by later generations, which was rich in sugar and greasy, brushing teeth was not as clean as today’s people’s teeth.

As for whether not brushing your teeth will cause bad breath, it’s unlikely. At least Luo Cheng has never smelled it around his two sisters. Bad breath is generally not a real dental problem, but may be a gastrointestinal problem.

“Brother, are you awake?”

Maybe it was because Luo Cheng moved a little and leaned against the bed, making a little noise. There was a voice of inquiry from the other side of the wooden wall. It seemed that my sister had also woken up at this point. But there’s no need to get up, it’s cold outside now, their clothes are thin, and there’s mainly nothing to do when they get up. It’s better to lie down in bed to save energy.

If it were two years ago, Xiaoyu might have followed his father to work in the brigade to earn centimeters, and both his parents and Luo Bing would work. As a young girl, Shishi stayed at home and did housework. But now many jobs are gone due to famine. Lying down to maintain physical fitness is the best way.

Luo Cheng was a little hungry at such an early hour, but except for those who worked in the city, people generally only had two meals and there was no breakfast. In the past, when farming was busy, people who went out to work would eat a little as a snack. When it’s not busy, most places don’t have breakfast. If you don’t work, you can eat whatever you want, as long as you don’t starve to death.

“Wake up. There are breakfast shops in this town. I’m a little hungry.”

Luo Cheng had no sense of familiarity with Longyang Town. It is said to be a town, but in fact it is just a slightly densely populated countryside. Because of its geographical location, it is a central area among many nearby villages. There are grain stations and supply and marketing cooperatives, but the supply and marketing cooperatives are very crude compared to those in the city, and many things are not sold, especially large items.

Luo Cheng didn’t know the specific structure of the town. Anyway, on the way to send Qin Lan to the village yesterday, he didn’t see any shops.

There are breakfast shops in the city, and they are run by the state. At least they are linked to a certain work unit. So in the city, you sometimes see breakfast sellers who look like older self-employed people, but they are not.

Those who sell breakfast also need to collect food stamps and hand over money. If you don’t have food stamps, you can’t give them more money, and you can’t buy it if you want. There is a fixed number of noodles and ingredients for a steamed bun or steamed bun.

When you buy breakfast, if the steamed buns and buns you buy are obviously too small and the portions are missing, you can report it with what you bought. There are quotas for how big the buns should be and how much food stamps they cost.

The breakfast prices sold these days are also reasonable, they are all public and they mainly provide services. A bun maker can earn you a little money at most, but even so, breakfast is not something that most people can afford. Steamed buns and steamed buns are a fine grain, and even if they are sold at a reasonable price, not many people can afford them.

Not to mention, there is actually a breakfast shop in the town, and it is the only one in the town. It sells a lot of breakfast varieties, but not many steamed buns.

Because steamed buns are a fine grain, even those with jobs in the town cannot afford to eat them regularly. So most of them sell some multi-grain pancakes, with a little radish or other vegetable mixes in the pancakes.

As for meat, you know why steamed buns are cheaper than steamed buns? Because steamed buns use less refined grains than steamed buns, and the fillings inside are all vegetable-based. You have to go to the city to buy meat buns, which only have vegetarian buns.

The eldest brother was hungry, so he asked his mother not if he could cook breakfast today, but if there was any breakfast sold in town. Luo Shishi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly became clear-headed and no longer sleepy.

This is his eldest brother. If he goes to buy breakfast, there is no way he won’t give himself some. I ate a white flour steamed bun yesterday. It was very sweet. My stomach felt very comfortable when I went to bed at night. It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten something dry like this. I dream about eating steamed buns every day.

“Brother, there is a breakfast shop in the town. You can go buy it. I can take you there.”

Luo Shishi’s tone was obviously excited, and Luo Xiaoyu, who was lying next to her, was also a little moved. But she was thinking more. The eldest brother’s money was just a little retirement pay after serving in the army for several years. The family had to buy food today, and the eldest brother would have to spend a lot of money. Wouldn’t it be too extravagant to go out for breakfast? Wouldn’t it be too naive to have both yourself and your sister go along with you?

“You guys are not going to sleep. If not, then get up. I’m going to wash up first and see what the breakfast shops outside are selling. You go ask grandma what she wants to eat. I’ll bring her some back later.”

Luo Cheng sat up, because he knew that grandma was like that mainly because she was weak and often hungry because she didn’t have enough to eat. So I must bring some to grandma, not only to grandma, but also to everyone else. It was impossible for Luo Cheng to eat alone.

When Luo Cheng said this, Luo Xiaoyu knew that everyone would share it. But there is really no need to specifically ask grandma what she eats. There aren’t many varieties in the breakfast shop, so most people still buy whole grain pancakes. The food may not taste that good, but it’s cheap and makes you hungry.

Many people who travel far and have food stamps and money will buy some pancakes like that. As for it being too dry, there is definitely no such thing as soy milk and soy milk. It can only be found in the city. If you stutter, just drink water.

Washing up, my two sisters didn’t wash up in the morning either, so it was hard to get water. I didn’t brush my teeth anyway. I washed my face last night and didn’t go out at night. My face was really not dirty.

But Luo Cheng was still not used to it. Anyway, he just got daily necessities by signing in.

Luo Cheng’s brushing his teeth also aroused the curiosity of the two sisters. They had seen this toothpaste and toothbrush before, but they couldn’t afford it. According to the persuasion in the countryside, this thing is only used by educated and capable people. Although it is sold at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, only occasional people in the town buy it. No one from the village has ever seen anyone buying this thing in the town. of.

My mother also got up after hearing the noise, and watched her eldest son brush his teeth, which was a surprise. Even if his son is promising, his values ​​are different. When he has time, he can talk to the sisters he knows and show off.

Went to have breakfast. My mother felt a little distressed after hearing this. Maybe she could just eat something outside and it would be enough for the whole day at home. But this was Luo Cheng’s idea. The money and tickets belonged to Luo Cheng. The family had to respect his idea, so they didn’t say much.

But my mother said she didn’t need to eat it, just bring a vegetarian bun to grandma.

Luo Cheng smiled and did not respond. Because I know that my mother doesn’t want to eat it, but she can’t bear it. He believed that the current difficulties were only temporary, and the introduction letters from the army should be useful. Once he started working, life would gradually get better.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I washed my face with cold water, which didn’t matter. In later generations, when it was cold at home, I would use some warm water to wash my face. But in school, I always use cold water to wash my face in the morning. But when I use water, there is not much water in the tank.

In this era, although those who sold things were more arrogant than those who bought them, in cities, shops and restaurants still had signs stating that customers were not allowed to be beaten at will. But in this day and age, you can scold and hit people, but if the items you sell are short of weight, the customers will really be reluctant to let you go.

When making breakfast, you can have average taste but different portion sizes. If you encounter a hot-tempered person, the stall will be overturned by you.

Of course, every trade requires craftsmanship. If you can work as a chef at a breakfast shop, the things you make will be good.
