Chapter 1357 The short-lived cousin of the heroine of Wan Yuan Household (39)
When Xu Yin learned that Rui Xijin had such a reaction, she was really dumbfounded.
But since he wants to go, let’s go together! Just treat it as a long-distance trip.
Before departure, she reminded him that if he had sufficient liquidity, he could bring more.
Rui Xijin thought she was looking for someone to take care of, and worried that she didn't have enough money, she immediately asked: "How much?"
Xu Yin was puzzled.
"Aren't you looking for your brother to take care of him? How much do you need?"
Xu Yin burst into laughter: "It's not that I want to borrow it, it's because Nancheng is developing rapidly, and there may be a lot of goods that we can't buy here. If you find the right ones, you can wholesale them, and you can earn back the travel expenses? What's more, it's convenient
Isn’t it something?”
Rui Xijin raised her eyebrows: "What a great idea!"
Taking advantage of the fact that the train would leave in the evening, he went back to get the money. Xu Yin went to the kitchen and picked up some ingredients from her own pocket, planning to make something to eat on the road.
You have to stay on the train for three or four days. There are not many kinds of food in the dining car these days, basically steamed buns, porridge, meat buns, soup noodles and the like.
She steamed a pot of black and white glutinous rice, made a few fist-sized salty rice balls with her own fried pork floss and crushed five-spice peanuts, and made a few sweet rice balls with sesame sugar.
I also steamed a pot of corn buns, and added some milk when kneading the dough to make the buns softer. After steaming and eating them cold, they won't dry out and make you choke.
After steaming, she divided some among her colleagues and filled eight of them herself.
Of course, I didn’t forget to bring a jar of the secret beef sauce that I had brewed earlier. It’s especially delicious when dipped into the steamed buns.
When the other masters heard that she had taken ten days off to go to Nancheng to find her brother who had been miscarried since birth, they all expressed their support and rushed to take her place. One gave her two salted duck eggs, another gave her two salted duck eggs.
Erliang braised beef, and the chef took advantage of the fact that there was only one kiln working while the other one was idle, so he baked a batch of bread and sesame seed cakes for her. Compared with steamed buns and rice balls, these two items are more durable.
And it can be eaten as a meal or snack.
The chefs said that they would share the ingredients and asked her to take them with her on the road.
Master Zhao went back home and brought a bag of early-ripening peaches, a small bag of dried fish, dried shrimps and a handful of free seaweed:
"The peaches are grown by my mother-in-law's family. Although they look ugly, they taste very crisp and sweet. I can chew one to pass the time when I'm bored on the road. Dried fish and dried shrimps are cooked and sun-dried, so you can eat them directly. Here you go.
Get some seaweed, and when it’s time to eat, use a drinking cup to get a cup of boiling water, put some dried shrimp and seaweed in it, and you can drink it as soon as you drink it.”
"thanks, thanks!"
Xu Yin thanked her friendly colleagues one by one.
"I'll bring you Nancheng specialties when I come back."
"Haha! Then we'll be waiting! Don't worry, go find your brother. We will take turns filling your class for you."
"That's right! There are so many of us, each of us can rotate for a week if we rotate for one day. You don't have to worry, it's important to find your relatives!"
"If anything happens, just send a telegram."
"A telegraph is not as fast as a phone call! Xiao Xu, if you have something urgent, if you can get a phone, call my daughter's work. Here, this is the phone number of my daughter's work. I will get on well with her. If you have anything, just leave her a message."
Xu Yin was really moved by what she heard. What a group of lovely and friendly people!
Wang Zhao bought the train ticket and booked two sleeper berth tickets, both of which were lower berths.
Xu Yin gave him the money, and he waved his hand and said: "As the old saying goes, a poor family will be rich. If you go all the way to Nancheng to find your relatives, you should bring more money with you. Anyway, I am keeping track of the accounts and will wait for you.
When you are rich, it is not too late to deduct it from your salary."
Xu Yin thanked him.
"Thank you." Wang Zhao is a sensible person, "You are the master chef I hired to build the store. Without you, it is hard to say whether our business in Ruifu Building would be as good as it is now."
Xu Yin smiled: "No matter what, I will keep your support and help in my heart. I will thank you properly when I come back!"
"Okay, I hope your trip goes well. When the time comes, you will bring your brother back with you, and I will take care of you."
Wang Zhao kept the two of them on the platform and wanted to help carry their luggage to the berth. Rui Xijin picked him up and said, "I'll just come with such a small amount. You can go back! I won't be here for a few days, Rui Xijin."
I’ll leave Fulou to you.”
Wang Zhao: "Brother Rui, you don't have to say this! I have made Ruifu Building my home. From the opening to now, my mother has not seen me as many times as the masters in the building."
Although he is young, he loves to worry by nature. No, the luggage was taken over by Rui Xijin, and he still followed him into the car uneasily. When he found the berth, put down the luggage and settled everything, if it hadn't been for the whistle that was about to depart.
, the train started moving slowly, and he wanted to help the two of them go to the water room to get a cup of hot water.
Xu Yin looked through the car window and saw Wang Zhao hurriedly jumping out of the car. She couldn't help but laugh: "You are a pretty good brother."
Rui Xijin nodded: "Well, we have been playing together since we were young. Grandpa thought I was dull when I was a child. Seeing that A-Zhao was lively and out-of-the-box, he asked him to play with me. I hope we can complement each other."
"Grandpa Rui is a wise and kind man."
Rui Xijin lowered her eyelids: "It's a pity that good people don't live long."
"..."
I can't take this anymore.
Xu Yin simply changed the topic and talked about her cheap brother whom she had never met.
"... When I was five years old, I discovered that my brother was adopted by the wrong person. After asking around, I found out that he was adopted by a couple with a southern accent... My parents asked a long-distance driver from the factory to take care of him.
When I went to several cities in the south to buy goods, I took missing person notices with me and posted them on eye-catching telephone poles at street corners along the way... There was no other way. I didn't expect that Master Chen would actually bring a missing person when he came back this time.
The good news is that someone took away a missing person poster. The other person looked at the portrait on the missing person notice and said something like it looked familiar, suspecting that the person knew my brother. Just think that I am trying my luck...
"
"There is a portrait of your brother on the missing person notice?" Rui Xijin asked suspiciously, "But didn't you say that your brother was carried by the wrong person when he was born?"
"Yes! That portrait was drawn by me based on a family photo at home, extracting the facial features of my grandfather, grandmother, uncle, and my father and mother. In fact, we are not sure whether my brother looks like my father.
Or is it still like my mother, or will it be passed down from generation to generation..."
Rui Xijin admired her very much after hearing this.
This method is really wonderful!
Regardless of whether they look alike or not, having a portrait will leave a more profound impression than not having a portrait.
When a passerby passes a telephone pole and sees a notice full of words, he glances over and walks past. But when he sees a missing person notice with a portrait, he subconsciously stops and looks at it a few more times. Look at this a few more times, that one a few more times.
After a few glances, I saw a lot of people, and maybe some people actually thought that the situation described in the missing persons notice sounded familiar.
As for whether it is the child that the Xu family is looking for, it is open to question. After all, there are people in the world who look similar but have no blood relationship.
