SIAS Chapter 86.2

Yi Qingqing had a big thing here, so she was in high spirits. She went to the bank to sign in again.

[You sign in at the Tieling County Bank sign-in location and receive RMB 200.]

It was really a double happiness!

She saw that the bank sign-in location was like a lottery. All the money was signed in, but the amount of money signed in was different each time. The previous sign-in amounts were all 100 or 150, but this time, it broke the record, a full 200 yuan.

She must have a good meal at noon today to reward herself for being so nervous.

It was almost time for lunch, so she went to the state-owned store to see what dishes were available today.

When Yi Qingqing walked in, the clerk had just written down today’s lunch menu on the small blackboard.

Yi Qingqing’s eyes lit up. There was soy sauce duck! And there was sweet and sour pork!

As an apprentice of Teacher Wen who even he himself didn’t know, she had no idea how many demonstration dishes Master Wen had made that she had eaten during her cooking teaching mode.

This soy sauce duck was her favorite dish.

Although she learned it, she had not yet made it in real life because she didn’t have the ingredients.

And the sweet and sour pork was also delicious!

The pork in her backpack had been eaten up. Although her family sent her some meat tickets this time, it was not much. It was all saved by her parents.

How could she not know what the family usually eats?

Although she could hunt now, it was basically rabbits, pheasants, and the like, which tasted very different from pork.

The meat in this state-owned restaurant did not require meat tickets but only money, and the staple food required some grain tickets.

So, it was more cost-effective to eat meat dishes in state-owned restaurants, especially for those who did not have enough meat tickets but had a lot of money.

It was also common for well-off families to order a meat dish from a state-owned restaurant and then take it home to add another dish to the table.

“Please give me a duck in soy sauce, a serving of sweet and sour pork, and a bowl of sorghum rice.”

It was still early, so there were not many people. Yi Qingqing went to the window and said to the clerk.

Who was this? She was so rich and generous in ordering dishes!

The person at the window looked out in surprise.

Oh, it was her. It was reasonable for her to order two meat dishes. For an educated youth with a bicycle, she didn’t need this little money. There was nothing good to eat in the countryside on weekdays, so it was reasonable for her to buy some more meat to try during the holidays.

The clerk quoted a price.

Yi Qingqing paid it readily.

There weren’t many people queuing at the window at the moment, so Yi Qingqing stood by and waited.

It didn’t take long for her to get the food.

The soy sauce duck was chopped up. Yi Qingqing only left a little bit outside and wrapped the rest in oil paper, pretending to put it in her shoulder bag, but actually, she put it in her personal space.

Ordering a whole duck was also to save it for later consumption.

After she had the portable space skill, she liked to stock up on things in it. Looking at the things in that space, she felt at ease.

She just tried the sauce-flavored duck for lunch today, and the main dish was sweet and sour pork. Sweet and sour pork was not easy to carry, so it was better to eat it while it was hot.

As soon as a piece of meat entered her mouth, Yi Qingqing felt that her whole body was sublimated. The sense of happiness that delicious food brought to people was really endless.

Yun Guyuan had not arrived yet, so she ate slowly, savoring the food carefully.

Although this era was hard and the materials were not abundant, it was not without advantages.

This ingredient was much more delicious and authentic than the meat and poultry raised on a large scale in later generations. This bowl of rice was full and the vegetables were more substantial. The merchants would not cut corners in this regard, which was very conscientious for consumers.
