Chapter 15
In the kitchen, Old Jiang's deep voice came out. "Stone, come and take a look at the scale!"
Old Jiang's pickled cabbage chicken needed to be slaughtered on the spot to maintain maximum freshness. Therefore, before slaughtering, customers would usually look at the scale.
However, Shi Lei knew that Old Jiang hated it when others looked at the scale. It wasn't that Old Jiang liked to be short. On the contrary, Old Jiang would take the initiative to count less. Hating customers looking at the scale was just Old Jiang's quirk!
Shi Lei said loudly, "Old Jiang, do as you see fit! Right, the four of us will eat! "
Shi Lei took out his phone and looked at the time. It was only half past four.
The freshmen's military training started at five o 'clock. There were only twenty minutes before they returned to the field and continued to participate in some small-scale training. Only at seven o 'clock would the freshmen be allowed to return to their dormitories to tidy up.
There was still plenty of time. Shi Lei continued to shout, "Also, don't use the pressure cooker. Just simmer it over a small fire! I have a lot of time, so I can wait! "
In the kitchen, Old Jiang's wrinkled face revealed a smile. Old Jiang was busy in the kitchen for more than half an hour before he walked out.
Shi Lei took out Sun Feng's half-pack of Yuxi from his bag and handed one to Old Jiang.
Old Jiang glanced at Yuxi and said with a smile, "Yuxi, this cigarette isn't cheap!"
In 7551, Yuxi was already 77 yuan per pack in Shuangqing City. In this era, the average salary was only about a thousand yuan. There weren't many students who could smoke Yuxi! In addition, Shi Lei was wearing a cheap T-shirt and jeans. No matter how one looked at him, he didn't look like a rich person!
Shi Lei smiled foolishly, "Someone gave it to me!"
Old Jiang didn't probe further and asked casually, "You're a freshman at Shuangqing University, right?"
Shi Lei was slightly shocked, "Old Jiang, how did you know?"
Old Jiang said with a hint of complacency, "I've been running pickled cabbage chicken in the back street for six years. There's no publicity or signboard. Those who know about Old Jiang's pickled cabbage chicken are all regular customers! I know all the Shuangqing University students who come here! "
Shi Lei sucked in a breath of cold air.
Old Jiang had such a unique skill?
He remembered all the customers!
What an incredible memory!
When Old Jiang saw the shock on Shi Lei's face, he proudly lit up Yuxi. "Stone, I also have a question. You're just a new student, how do you know that I, Old Jiang, am a Sour Pickled Chicken? "
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Shuangqing University's forum! It must be one of your senior brothers or sisters who helped you promote it! "
Shi Lei did not lie about this.
In his previous life, Shi Lei had learned about Old Jiang's Sour Pickled Chicken through Shuangqing University's forum. However, due to his poor life in his previous life, he had only been here four times in his four years of university!
Old Jiang chuckled and said, "These youngsters are rather thoughtful!"
Shi Lei and Old Jiang chatted for two hours straight. Along the way, Old Jiang entered the kitchen five to six times.
When it was almost seven o 'clock, Old Jiang came out of the kitchen with a large ceramic bowl. The ceramic lid sealed the heat tightly and was enough to keep the bowl warm.
"Shi Tou, be careful. Don't knock him down!"
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Yes, I know! By the way, Old Jiang, how much is it? "
Old Jiang glanced at Shi Lei and said casually, "The chicken weighs three kilograms, and the pickled cabbage weighs one kilogram. I'll give you a total of two hundred and fifty yuan!"
When Shi Lei heard that, he knew that Old Jiang had eliminated the change!
The chicken weighed forty yuan per kilogram, and the pickled cabbage weighed twenty yuan per kilogram. That was two hundred and seventy-six yuan!
Shi Lei laughed and said, "Okay!"
Then, he took out three hundred yuan and placed it on the table. He spoke first, "Give me the remaining fifty yuan the next time I come to return the bowl!"
Old Jiang did not waste any time and kept the three hundred yuan.
Shi Lei picked up the ceramic bowl and walked out. Before he walked out of the alley, Shi Lei returned to Old Jiang's shop.
"Hey, hey, hey, Old Jiang, come out quickly!"
Old Jiang limped out and asked curiously, "Shi Tou, what's the matter?"
Shi Lei said embarrassedly, "Lend me four bowls and four pairs of chopsticks! There's no such thing in the dormitory! "
Old Jiang smiled and took four bowls and four pairs of chopsticks. He put them in a plastic bag and handed them to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei said gratefully, "Thank you, Old Jiang!"
Old Jiang waved his hand. "Be careful when you enter the school gate! The guards of Shuangqing University are not easy to deal with! "
Shi Lei nodded with a smile.
Shi Lei put the belt with the bowls and chopsticks on his wrist. Then, he picked up the ceramic bowl and walked into the school.
At the school gate, Shi Lei was stopped as expected. A middle-aged guard in his thirties looked at Shi Lei strangely.
"Student, during the military training period, you are prohibited from bringing food from outside the school into the school!"
Shi Lei smiled and carefully put down the ceramic bowl. Then, he took out Yuxi, took out a stick, and handed it to the guard. "Brother Qian, don't you recognize me?"
The guard's name was Qian Dekang. He was in charge of guarding the back door of Shuangqing University. He had a pair of sharp eyes and was very vicious. Qian Dekang looked at Shi Lei suspiciously. "You are?"
Shi Lei smiled. "I'm Shi Tou. I live in the first building of the doctor's dormitory!"
Qian Dekang patted his head. "How come I don't remember?"
"Brother Qian, you really forgot me!" Shi Lei said while taking out the dormitory key. Because he just received the key, the dormitory address number was still on the key.
Qian Dekang glanced at the key and found that it was correct. He smiled and said, "So it's the doctor's dormitory! Then hurry up and go in! "
Shi Lei handed the remaining half of the Yuxi to Qian Dekang and said, "Thank you, brother Qian!"
Qian Dekang smiled and took the Yuxi. "Shi Tou, you're still so polite!"
Shi Lei picked up the ceramic bowl. "It's my duty. Brother Qian has worked hard!"
After that, Shi Lei carried the ceramic bowl and rushed to the doctor's dormitory.
In the security room, another guard asked, "Who was that just now?"
Qian Dekang smiled and explained, "Shi Tou from the doctor's dormitory! Come, have a smoke! "With that, Qian Dekang handed over the Yuxi.
"Oh, Yuxi!" Another guard said in surprise.
When they returned to the doctor's dormitory, it was already past seven o 'clock. Shi Lei stopped directly in front of the door of dormitory 057 and knocked on the door with his foot. In the room, Lingyumo's voice came out.
"Who is it?"
Shi Lei whispered, "You're Stone Head!"
"Bah! You Stone Monster! "Lingyumo's voice came through the door. "Stone Monster, what's the matter?"
"Open the door for me!" Shi Lei complained.
Lingyumo refused, "I'm sorry, Stone Monster. Sister Mu Shuang said that you and that wretched boy are not allowed to come in!"
Shi Lei tempted, "Little Ink, open the door quickly. There's a surprise!"
"What surprise?" Lingyumo did not open the door and asked carefully.
Shi Lei laughed strangely and said, "If you don't open the door, Stone Head will enjoy it alone!"
The door of dormitory 057 gently opened. Lingyumo's little head poked out. "What's this? It smells so good! "
Shi Lei raised his hands and showed the big pottery bowl. "Simmering on a low flame, secret pickled chicken! How about it? Do you want to eat? "
Lingyumo hesitated for a moment and kept swallowing her saliva.
During the military training period, the standard of living in the cafeteria was seriously lower than normal. Even if Lingyumo was not a greedy girl, she could not resist the temptation! "Come in quickly!"
Lingyumo opened the door and let Shi Lei in. Entering dormitory 057 again, it felt a little different from the first time. The small decorations had changed, and there was a little more elegance.
Mu Shuang's voice came from Room 7. "Who's here, Yu Mo?"
Shi Lei laughed strangely. "Stone Head is here!"
Mu Shuang exclaimed. "Yu Mo, why did you let him in?"
Lingyumo whispered, "Sister Mu Shuang, I'm sorry! However, Stone Golem is here with delicious food! "
In Room 7, Mu Shuang was wearing pajamas. Her cheeks were red as she asked, "What delicious food?"
Lingyumo giggled and said, "Sister Mu Shuang, you'll know when you come out!"
Mu Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll come out in a while!"
Mu Shuang changed out of her pajamas and put on a set of moon-white sportswear. Then, she opened the door and walked out. "Eh? It smells good! "
Lingyumo grabbed Mu Shuang's hand and said with a smirk, "Sister Mu Shuang, it smells good!"
Mu Shuang nodded and then glanced at Shi Lei. "Shi Lei, how did you bring him in? Shouldn't the guards be extra strict during military training? "
Shi Lei said smugly, "Who am I? I'm Stone Head! There's nothing Stone Head can't do! "
Lingyumo snorted. "Stone Monster, can you stop bragging?"
Shi Lei chuckled. "Wait, let me call that wretched boy first. If I don't call him, I won't be a good friend!"
After hanging up, there was a knock on the door in less than a minute. Shi Lei took the initiative to open the door.
Li Cai's eyes lit up as he walked in. He said in a low voice, "Brother Stone, you're so mighty! I really admire you! Stone Head, how did you convince them to let us in? "
Shi Lei knocked Li Chai's head. "Little Li Chai, can you shut up! Come and eat! "
Li Chai was a standard foodie. When he heard that there was something to eat, he immediately said excitedly, "What is it? These two days of military training, I'm starving! "
Lingyumo and Mu Shuang sat on the fabric sofa, while Shi Lei and Li Chai sat opposite them.
Li Chai praised as he ate, "This taste is simply too delicious!"
Shi Lei bragged, "I'm not bragging, but Old Jiang's pickled cabbage chicken is one of the best in Shuangqing City! The free-range chicken in the countryside and the homemade pickled cabbage are definitely green ingredients! "
Li Chai nodded. His chopsticks didn't stop eating. He didn't maintain his gentlemanly demeanor in front of a beauty at all.
Mu Shuang chewed slowly and ate a piece of chicken drumstick. Then she said, "Shi Lei, I'm afraid this pickled cabbage chicken isn't cheap, right?"
Lingyumo also looked at Shi Lei. From Shi Lei's clothes, it wasn't hard to tell that Shi Lei wasn't a rich person. If the pickled cabbage chicken was expensive, the four of them could split the bill after they finished eating.
"It's not expensive, not expensive. Old Jiang gave me a discount. It's exactly 705!"
In 7551, when the average salary was 6,555 yuan, eating 705 yuan in one meal was really a little too much!
Mu Shuang took the initiative and said, "This meal is on me!"
Shi Lei immediately said, "Dear, I'm rich!"
"I can still afford a meal!"
