Chapter 494: The Lazy, Fair-skinned Youth and the Hardworking, Strong Laborer (7)
The lazy, fair-skinned educated youth and the hardworking, strong laborer (Seventeen)
The stuff was really good and Zhou Cheng was very satisfied after seeing it.
Not to mention the fountain pens, the so-called flaws are just minor scratches that are not visible unless you look closely.
He was in a hurry for it, and Lance happened to have it.
After the two sides haggled for a while, they finally agreed on a price of fifteen yuan per stick.
Zhou Cheng was very happy after the talk. If he had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get these pens, he would have to buy twenty-one pens.
Now he saves five yuan on a pen, which adds up to a hundred yuan. He now has enough money to apply for other benefits.
With an extra hundred yuan in the budget, Zhou Cheng took Lance to look at other goods.
In the end, he bought the batch of Dacron, but did not take the milk powder. However, he took the malted milk and White Rabbit milk candy.
All in all, I haven’t even spent all the one thousand dollars!
Zhou Cheng left with the things, smiling happily.
Lance and Song Ning were also very satisfied.
"Ningning, how about going to a restaurant for dinner today?"
Now that he had made some money, he finally dared to say this. He remembered hearing someone say before that being able to go to a state-owned restaurant and order a few dishes was something he could never even dream of.
But he wanted Ningning to have a taste of this wonderful thing, so Lance made a suggestion.
Song Ning was very happy and was counting the money.
The pen was bought for ten yuan and sold for fifteen yuan. After buying and selling twenty pens, he actually made a full hundred yuan!
Adding other things into the mix, they made nearly two hundred dollars from this transaction with Zhou Cheng!
The next second his expression changed and he glared at Lance.
"Why go there? It's a waste of money. We might as well buy some good stuff and cook it ourselves at home."
After he said that, he felt that his rejection just now might have been too straightforward.
Song Ning hesitated for a moment, then came over and touched Lance's hand, blushing as he explained in a low voice.
"I've been there before. The people there are not polite, and the food they cook is just so-so, not as good as yours. We won't waste that money, and we can save it for other things."
Lance looked down at him, unable to hide the smile in his tone.
"Really? Not as delicious as what I made?"
It was well worth his time to study his craft, as the saying of mankind really made sense - if you want to capture a person's heart, you should first capture his stomach.
Now it seems that he has successfully captured the little prince's stomach, doesn't he?
Song Ning was dazzled by his bright smile, and her face turned even redder the next second when she realized what was going on.
"I, I mean..."
He stammered for a while, then nodded with a red face.
"Yes, your cooking tastes better."
Anyway, anyway, he just likes the food Lance cooks, and he feels so relaxed when he sits at home and eats with Lance. He has to please others when eating in a state-owned restaurant.
Since the little prince said so, Lance decisively took him to buy a lot of good stuff.
He bought half a pig's head and two pig ears, and also a chicken and a fish. He returned home with a full load.
After the pig's head was cleaned and stewed, the meat was removed. The meat smelled so delicious that Song Ning secretly ate several pieces before Lance even started cooking.
Pig ears are made into cold-mixed pig ears. The simple cold mix is very appetizing.
Lans found two lotus leaves from somewhere and stuffed the chicken's stomach with fish and other spices to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. He then wrapped the chicken in mud and stuffed it under the stove to steam it until cooked.
After it was cooked, the dark mud on the outside was pried open and the lotus leaves were opened. The chicken and the strong aroma of the lotus leaves made Song Ning lose consciousness.
"Try it and see how it tastes?"
Lance tore off a large chicken leg and placed it in his bowl, with the tender gravy still dripping from it.
Song Ningxiang was confused and bit it without thinking.
It's hot, but it's followed by a fragrant aroma.
The meat of the chicken and the vegetarian taste of the lotus leaf seemed to be a perfect chemical reaction, dancing together in the nasal cavity. The tender and smooth chicken fell off the bone and slid into the mouth as soon as it was bitten, and the rich juices directly bloomed in the mouth like fireworks. Song Ning fell in love with it at the first bite.
“It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.”
He held the chicken drumstick in his hand and brought it to Lance with stars in his eyes. "Come on, try it too. It's really delicious."
He had no other thoughts in his mind except that he should let Lance taste such delicious food as soon as possible.
Lance looked at him deeply, the love welling up in his heart difficult to conceal.
He leaned closer and took a bite, then looked at Song Ning meaningfully, "It's really delicious."
Song Ning met his eyes and suddenly reacted slowly and blushed.
"I'm not, I just..."
Forget it, I won’t explain it.
Song Ning decided to throw away the whole thing, blushing as he lowered his head and bit the chicken leg. When someone rubbed his thigh, he just shivered but didn't move away.
Lance chuckled and reached out to hold him in his arms, wishing they could stick together and eat the meal together.
After finally finishing the meal with great difficulty, Song Ning stood up and quietly dug a hole and buried the remaining chicken bones.
Lance followed to help with a smile, and Song Ning did not forget to explain to him.
"Although we eat very well, we can't be too ostentatious. It would be bad if someone finds out."
He even secretly felt lucky that his home was a bit remote and there were not many families living nearby.
Otherwise, he was worried that the smell of cooking would drift out and he would be reported.
Lance nodded thoughtfully.
That being said, we need to hurry up and leave.
With the idea of taking things step by step in mind, Lance was not in a hurry.
They resell goods once or twice a month, and can earn about a hundred yuan each time, sometimes a little more if they are lucky.
With a stable income, they ate a lot more meat in private.
In order to cover this up, Lance even forged several packages "sent from home".
As expected, after knowing this, everyone was just a little envious of Song Ning. After all, Song Ning had become visibly stronger in the past few months. It must have been because he had gotten a lot of good things from Lan Zhiqing.
Some people also said that they could smell the aroma of cooking meat at the Song family, and some said that they saw that the water in Song Ning's cup seemed to be sweet, not ordinary water.
But with Lance covering it up, it's not really big news.
Sometimes when they received the goods, they would secretly replace some of the junk in Song Ning's home with new defective goods. If someone asked about it, they would just say that they bought them through Lansto's connections.
There were several hidden lines because of this, but in Lance's opinion, none of them were important.
Because what he cares about most is that the resumption of the college entrance examination is the key to their departure.
This is also the reason why he only makes a little money from reselling and focuses his energy on assisting Song Ning in his studies.
This important time point was soon spread along with a piece of gossip about Dong Cai.
Dong Cai and Lin Caifeng are getting married, and Lin Caifeng is pregnant with his baby.
