Chapter 1359 The short-lived cousin of the heroine of Wan Yuan Household (41)
During the three days on the train, Xu Yin prepared three meals in various ways.
After finishing the rice balls and corn buns, she took out the bread and sesame seed cakes baked by the chefs.
A piece of bread, a peach, and a piece of soup to activate your taste buds early in the morning;
Two sesame seed cakes, one portion of dried fish, and one portion of soup will provide you with energy for the day;
For the last train meal, Xu Yin went to the dining car to buy a portion of fried vegetables and two poached eggs, packed them back to the compartment, and made a cup of noodle soup.
Originally, Rui Xijin thought she would have to eat several meals on the train, so she put the change ticket in her trouser pocket, which was easily accessible.
Little did I know that once I got on the train, there would be no use for these tickets.
It was rare that Xu Yin wanted to go to the dining car to buy groceries. Without thinking, she gave her all the tickets and let her buy whatever she wanted. In the end, she came back with two poached eggs.
Rui Xijin thought she was saving money, but she didn't expect that after the fried noodles were soaked, beef sauce, green vegetables, and oily poached eggs were added, which was more tempting than any other delicacy.
The noodle soup soaked in fried dough completely opened up a new world for his taste buds.
"When I launch this noodle dish at Rui Fu Lou, it will definitely be more popular than ordinary soup noodles."
Xu Yin glanced at him with a smile: "Have you never thought of finding a food processing factory to cooperate in the production of instant noodles? The instant noodles on the market only have pancakes without seasonings. You can make instant noodles with seasonings. For example, a small packet of beef sauce.
A small package of dried green onion and vegetables, and a small package of condiments composed of salt and MSG chili powder, sealed together with the bread. When eating, soak the noodles and dried green onions and vegetables in boiling water until soft, and finally add the sauce and condiments.
The operation is simple and convenient, and the taste is not bad.”
"!!!"
How else could it be like this?!
Rui Xijin realized something and quickly looked around. Seeing that the couple in the middle berth had gone to the dining car and hadn't come back yet, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't say anything like this about business secrets in front of others."
This is one of the business methods his grandfather taught him.
Xu Yin smiled and said: "Of course I know, that's why I tell you when no one is around."
"..."
Does this mean you don't regard him as a human being?
Still don't regard him as an outsider?
In any case, Rui Xijin felt a little touched, and solemnly said to Xu Yin: "This is your idea, and you should be considered a share. In this way, I will find the factory later, you come up with the idea, I will pay, and we will work together."
Xu Yin did not refuse, and stretched out her hand to shake his hand: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
The young couple who had just returned opened the door and saw this scene: "..."
Are today's young couples so reserved with their partners? They only dare to shake hands when they are intimate? They are more reserved than they were back then!
After getting off the train at Nancheng Station, Xu Yin and the two went to settle in their accommodation first.
They came out this time with a letter of introduction in the name of purchasing ingredients from Ruifu House. With the letter of introduction, they can stay in any hotel or guest house.
Like Xu Wen, if he doesn't have a letter of introduction, he can only try his luck.
Nowadays, accommodation units in some cities no longer require letters of introduction, but some hotels still require letters of introduction.
The two decided to find a hotel near the train station. Firstly, the area was well connected by bus and tram. Secondly, the place where Master Chen posted the missing person notice and was taken away was at the corner not far from the train station.
It was not far from the electronic equipment factory where he was delivering goods, so he posted several missing persons notices along the way.
“Here too!”
Xu Yin's sharp eyes found a missing person notice on the telephone pole at the door of the hotel, which looked mottled and yellowed after being exposed to the sun and rain.
Rui Xijin came over and took a look: "Hey! I seem to have seen this person somewhere..."
"!!!"
Xu Yin came to her senses quickly and asked quickly: "Where have I seen you? Was it in Nancheng?"
"let me see……"
Rui Xijin stared at the portrait on the missing person notice several times, and finally remembered:
"At the place where I jumped in line! Yes! He is also an educated youth who went to the countryside! But we are not in the same brigade. We only met a few times during open-air movies. The accent does sound from the south. I don't know if he is from Nancheng."
"But when you go to the countryside to jump in the queue, aren't you on the border?" She remembered Lu Xiaoyan gossiping.
"Yeah. It's a long way to go to the countryside!"
Of course, he went to the border for other unspeakable purposes at that time.
Xu Yin: "..."
Right!
Except for those who are related to households, it is generally up to you to choose where to go when you go to the countryside to join the queue.
According to this, if the person Rui Xijin said looks somewhat similar to the portrait on the missing person notice is really her brother, it means two things:
One, her brother is an educated youth;
Second, it can be inferred from the first point: her brother is from the city.
After coming to these two conclusions, Xu Yin slapped her palm.
"Originally, I was worried that Nancheng is so big that it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. It would be really difficult. With the clue you gave me, it would be easy! Let's go to the Educated Youth Station to find out! Let's set off from Nancheng and go to the same queue-jumping place as you.
The number of educated youths will not be large, I think ten would be enough. This narrows the scope a lot! Even if the staff at the educated youth station are not impressed by my brother, the worst they can do is visit all the qualified educated youths one by one."
Xu Yin went through the idea of looking for her brother in her mind, and happily patted Rui Xijin on the shoulder: "Let's go! After settling in, I will buy vegetables, and then borrow the stove in the guest house to cook a delicious meal!"
Hearing this, Rui Xijin was even more proactive than she was: "I'll go buy groceries, and you stay at the guest house. If I can't borrow a stove, I'll go to the hardware store to buy a kerosene stove. It just so happens that these industrial coupons are about to expire."
Xu Yin didn't laugh at him.
After eating solid food for three days on the train, she was also craving for fresh dishes.
So, the two of them went to the guest house to check in, and asked the front desk about nearby food markets.
The front desk was registering documents and checking letters of introduction. Without raising his head, he pointed to the alley next to him and said:
"The state-owned food market closes at nine o'clock in the morning. Do you want to buy vegetables? Go to the alley and have a look. Sometimes country people come to the residential areas to carry vegetables and set up stalls. Now it seems that no one is here to catch them. The people who pick them up to sell are still there.
Quite a few.”
When Rui Xijin heard this, she immediately went to the alley next to her.
Xu Yin continued to chat with the front desk and asked if she could borrow the kitchen stove.
"You can borrow the kitchen, right? Yes, the usage fee is 20 cents a day, and the deposit is one yuan."
"..."
It turns out you can rent it.
Without saying a word, Xu Yin took out one yuan to pay the deposit, and the usage fee was settled together with the accommodation fee.
Their rooms were facing each other. Xu Yin entered the room, put down her luggage, and saw that the room was equipped with a hot water kettle, a washbasin, and towels. She took the hot water kettle to the water room and picked up two bottles of hot water, but it was of no use.
I took out a bath bucket with steaming hot springs from the system warehouse and took a comfortable bath. While wiping my hair, I heard Rui Xijin's knock on the door.
She neatly put away the things that didn't belong here, put on her clothes, wrapped her hair in a towel, and opened the door.
"Have you bought groceries?"
Rui Xijin was about to speak when she smelled the nice bath fragrance in the room and felt the tip of her nose was a little warm.
