Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

The staff of the supply and marketing cooperative came up to them with a smile on their faces and said to Lin Qingyan,

"Comrade, I can give you a kettle, but I can only sell you one, 12 yuan each. If you are sure you want it, I will get it for you right away."

"Just one, just one."

This time it was Ye Yi who answered her directly. Although she wanted the kettle very much, she would not buy it at 12 yuan. She thought 12 yuan was enough for her to eat for two or three months.

"Then I'll get it for you right away." As she said this, she glanced at Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan had a blank expression on her face and directly took out 12 yuan and handed it to her.

Xiao Liu took the money and went to give them the kettle.

"Thank you, comrade." Lin Qingyan then thanked her.

The things Ye Yi bought were also put into Lin Qingyan's backpack, except for kerosene of course, which could not be put together with cotton and matches, as it was too dangerous.

This time they had a good harvest. The most important thing was cotton. The two left the supply and marketing cooperative very satisfied.

Director Wang of the supply and marketing cooperative should be satisfied today, as he has finally found an opportunity to regulate the supply and marketing cooperative.

Perhaps the most unhappy person is the little girl from before. She must hate them to death now. Lin Qingyan doesn’t know, and even if she knows, she won’t care. The chance of meeting her in the future is too small.

"Where are we going now? Going back?" Ye Yi asked.

Lin Qingyan glanced at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock. The time she had agreed with Gu Yizhou and the others was 1 o'clock in the afternoon. There was still more than an hour left. It was also close to dinner time.

So he said, “Let’s go eat.”

"Have you eaten yet? You ate quite late this morning and you're not hungry. Let's go back and eat later."

Ye Yi had spent a lot of money today and was now somewhat reluctant to spend money, so she refused.

"Let's go, let's go try the state-owned restaurant in the county. It is said that the braised pork in the state-owned restaurant is excellent. Let's go try it."

Hearing about the braised pork, Ye Yi swallowed her saliva, thought about the money she was going to spend, and shook her head to refuse.

"Why don't you go eat by yourself? I'll wait for you at the car. What if Fang Yunxing and the others come back early? It's not good to keep them waiting."

Lin Qingyan directly pulled her forward and said, "Don't worry, Gu Yizhou and his friends are people who plan everything they do. Since they said they would go there around 1 o'clock, they won't go too early."

Ye Yi wanted to struggle again, so Lin Qingyan could only use her trump card.

"I've made some money recently, so I don't have to worry about food and drink. I haven't used the money I shared last time. Let me have a good meal today. Please, can you accompany me for a meal?"

Seeing that she really wanted to eat, Ye Yi didn't say anything else. At most, she could just save a little in the next few days.

At this time, the backpack was on Ye Yi's back. After walking for a while and asking people, they found the state-owned restaurant in the county. The front was a little bigger than the one in the town, and there were a few more tables inside.

When the two walked in, there were already two tables of people sitting inside, and several people were queuing at the window to order food.

Lin Qingyan asked Ye Yi to find a place to sit down first, and she went to the window to queue up. It might be because she had been drinking space water for a long time, her eyesight was getting better and better.

Standing at the back, you can see the window panel with today's supply written on it: braised pork, pork stewed with vermicelli, pork dumplings, and steamed buns.

There were only two dishes and two staple foods. Compared with modern buffet restaurants, the dishes were more than a little less. Although Lin Qingyan often went to modern restaurants, she was not dazzled by the advanced technology there.

She was born and raised in this era and has never thought about living in the modern world. Although the modern world is very advanced and technologically developed, her parents, her younger brother, and her friends are not there.

She would rather stay with her family and friends, watching the world develop step by step, and witnessing the development, prosperity and strength of the motherland. She feels that she will feel a sense of accomplishment when she is old.

"Comrade, what do you want?" The waiter at the window looked at the stunned Lin Qingyan with a bad expression.

Some were dissatisfied and said: "Comrade, are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't take up space. There are other people waiting in line."

Lin Qingyan's thoughts were pulled back by the waiter, and she quickly put on a smile on her face, "Sister, give me a portion of braised pork, a portion of dumplings, and four steamed buns."

"How many people are eating with you?" The waiter looked better when he was called a girl.

"We are eating for two."

"Can you two finish it?"

"We can finish eating it. If we can't finish it, we will take it away. Nothing will be wasted." Food is precious in this era, but no one will waste it.

"A total of three dollars and fifty cents, two catties of grain coupons, and half a catty of meat coupons."

Lin Qingyan took out the money and ticket from her pocket and handed them to her.

"Go wait aside, we'll call you when it's ready." The waiter handed her a piece of paper with 5 written on it, which should be their own mark.

When Lin Qingyan returned to the table, Ye Yi had already handed her two dollars, a pound of food coupons, and half a pound of meat coupons.

Lin Qingyan glanced at her and did not refuse. She took the money and food coupons, but did not take the meat coupons. She wanted to improve Ye Yi's life, but if she refused every time, Ye Yi might never eat and drink with her again, and then she would not be able to help her improve her life.

It seems that the only way is to find a way for her to earn money by herself. If she has more money, she won't have to worry too much.

After a while, their dishes were ready. Lin Qingyan went to bring the food to the table and put it there. Just as she was about to eat, she saw Gu Yizhou and Fang Yunxing walking in.

As soon as Gu Yizhou pushed open the door of the state-owned hotel, he saw Lin Qingyan and the others. His cold face softened a little and he even smiled.

Fortunately, Fang Yunxing behind him didn't see it, otherwise he would have been laughed at for who knows how long.

When Lin Qingyan saw them coming in, she stood up and waved, "Here!"

It was then that Fang Yunxing saw the two of them, "Why are you here too?"

"What do you mean we are here too? This is not your business, why can't we come?" When Ye Yi heard Fang Yunxing talking, she reflexively retorted.

"Come, come, anyone can come, okay!"

"Let's sit down and eat together. We bought a lot." Lin Qingyan invited Gu Yizhou and others to eat together.

Gu Yizhou looked at the dishes on the table, then glanced at the window, "I'll go buy two more dishes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the food window. Fang Yunxing sat down directly next to Ye Yi. Ye Yi glared at him without saying anything.

"Have you finished your work?"

"Yes, I have already finished it. I calculated the time and planned to wait for you after dinner. I didn't expect you to be faster. The dishes are already served."

As he was talking, Gu Yizhou had already brought a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli, a portion of dumplings, and 6 steamed buns.

Fang Yunxing quickly stood up and took it. He put the dishes for several people together, filling up the table, which attracted people from the surrounding tables to look over frequently.

When they sat down to eat, Gu Yizhou suddenly asked, "Did you have a smooth day today?"

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi looked at each other. Is it going well?
