Chapter 263 Reminds me of the money I paid for the order
It seems that just snoring is not enough, the gold teeth are actually grinding on my teeth.
The sound of grinding teeth made Xu Erlong's teeth sore.
Xu Erlong couldn't bear it anymore and just wanted to kick him out of bed.
How to stop him from grinding his teeth?
It seems that the folk method is to grind your teeth in the middle of the night because you want to eat, so just put some rice in your mouth.
Xu Erlong got up and tiptoed into the house to look for rice.
Zhang Jinfang and Xiaoling were sleeping in the room inside.
In a daze, I felt someone sneaking in, which scared Zhang Jinfang awake.
Is there a thief in the middle of the night? Going through the cabinet to steal something?
Thinking of her son and the others, they slept outside. Zhang Jinfang opened her mouth to call for help.
"Mom, don't scream, it's me." Xu Erlong said.
"Erlong? Is that you?" Zhang Jinfang felt relieved and asked him: "What are you doing searching through the cabinet in the middle of the night?"
"Get rice." Xu Erlong replied helplessly: "Golden teeth grind my teeth so hard that I can't sleep. I heard that just putting some rice in my mouth will help."
Xiaoling listened to the voice and sat up in a daze: "Why do you need to get rice? There is not enough to eat, so why should you pour it into his mouth?"
Xu Erlong and Zhang Jinfang thought about it and realized that this was the truth.
We all don’t have enough rice to eat, so we often use red potatoes as our staple food. Why waste it?
Zhang Jinfang is full of wisdom about living at home: "Just give him a chopstick to hold in his mouth."
"Okay." Xu Erlong turned around, went to the kitchen, took out a bamboo chopstick, and stuffed it into Jin Ya's mouth.
Sure enough, the effect was immediate, the sound of teeth grinding disappeared, and the world became peaceful.
Xu Erlong then turned sideways and slept peacefully.
In the morning, when Xu Erlong got up, he saw Jin Teeth tilting his head and looking at the yellow jujube tree next to him.
Is there anything good in this tree?
Xu Erlong then tilted his neck and looked at the yellow oak tree.
The branches of the yellow oak tree are lush and leafy, and you can hear the chirping of birds, but you can't see where the birds are.
Xu Erlong glanced twice, but didn't see the trick. He patted Jin Ya's shoulder and asked, "What's on it?"
Jin Ya screamed: "Erlong, don't shoot me. I don't know what happened last night. I fell asleep and my neck was crooked."
So, am I being stupid and accompanying him to look up the tree with my neck crooked?
After thinking about this, Xu Erlong wanted to kick him twice.
This is nothing.
No longer paying attention to him, Xu Erlong went into the house to find breakfast.
Jin Ya tilted his neck and followed in: "Erlong, it's so strange, why do I have a stiff neck?"
Xu Erlong just pretended not to hear.
The snake last night was stewed in the earthen pot till it became soft.
Xu Erlong took a spoonful and sprinkled a pinch of salt on it.
Fresh and delicious.
Zhang Jinfang got up, lit a firewood stove, and cooked noodles for Xu Erlong.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Erlong packed his things.
He brought Lao Yin's tea bag, the mint leaves Xiaoling picked for him yesterday, and even a few saccharin pills.
In this era when white sugar is precious, saccharin is the best substitute.
If you drop one grain of saccharin, the entire jar of water will become sweeter.
"Today, you continue to catch eels." Xu Erlong said before leaving.
"There is no room for more," Zhang Jinfang said.
"Well, I'll think of a way." Xu Erlong replied.
Xu Erlong picked up the eels and went to the chemical factory to meet the food group.
Now the guards don't stop him, and they feel more familiar with him than with the workers in the factory.
After going to the food group to hand over the eels, Xu Erlong turned back and walked to Wang Bolin's house.
Wang Bolin's son is the little tiger who broke his head last time. His head is still bandaged with gauze and he stays at home.
Such a big wound on the forehead will definitely take some time to heal.
I don't let him go out to play for fear that he will infect the wound due to sweat.
At this age, he is very lively and active. It would be fatal to keep him at home and not allow him to go out to play.
At this moment, Xiaohu was sitting on the chair, shaking his legs and mumbling.
Xu Erlong plucked his pocket and took out a bamboo dragonfly.
These are all toys to coax children.
These days, there are very few toys for children. The only toys they can play with are glass beads, slingshots, rolling hoops, little books, etc.
But these are only suitable for playing with a group of friends.
"Is this for me?"
"Of course." Xu Erlong replied, holding the bamboo dragonfly in his hand to demonstrate.
When Wang Bolin came back, he saw Xu Erlong playing with Xiao Hu.
"Is the second dragon coming?" Wang Bolin asked.
"Yes, I want to ask you to have a drink with me. I was in the dining group just now. I saw that you were busy, so I was embarrassed to disturb you." Xu Erlong replied.
Wang Bolin laughed, there are thousands of people in a factory and mine, and he, the head of the food team, is actually very busy.
"You are quite free." Wang Bolin smiled.
"I can't help it. I'm a countryman and I don't have a formal job. I have nothing else to do but provide you with fifty catties of eel. I'm so idle." Xu Erlong said miserably: "Why don't you give me some instructions, Brother Wang?"
A clear path?"
Wang Bolin thought for a while and said to Xu Erlong: "Brother, I think everyone is on their own, and I won't hide it. I will think of a way for you. In this way, you can bring a cigarette first, and I will see if I can help you with it."
Line."
Xu Erlong just wanted to wait for his words.
After all, as the head of the catering team of a large state-owned factory, Wang Bolin should know a lot of people. It would be a great thing if he could introduce another similar person and have another stable supply channel.
"I'm going to prepare now." Xu Erlong replied.
After coming out of the chemical factory, he first went to the market, found someone to exchange some tickets, and then tried to find a way to get cigarettes.
These days, there is a certain skill in smoking.
Nowadays, commerce and logistics are not good. Almost all locals smoke local cigarettes, which means there are hundreds of cigarette brands all over the country.
In addition to the nationally available Daqianmen and Dacheng ninth-class cigarettes, their locals also have "economy" cigarettes that cost 8 cents a pack, "Honggang" cigarettes that cost 161 cents a pack, and "flying cigarettes" that cost 20.41 packs.
Swallow".
In addition, there are also cigarette brands that are famous throughout the country such as "Yingchun", "Jinsui" and "Kuimen".
Xu Erlong is planning to buy a Kuimen cigarette. The local cigarettes are at an acceptable level, so it won’t be a big deal to give them away.
However, it is even more difficult to get a cigarette in a state-owned store.
Xu Erlong's eyes naturally focused on the private cigarette stall outside.
Cinemas are also places where private cigarette sellers gather. Those who sell melon seeds, candied haws, and cigarettes all like to gather here.
Xu Erlong went to the He Street Cinema.
Sure enough, after a while, a young man not much older than him came over and asked him if he wanted a cigarette.
"Yes." Xu Erlong replied: "Does Kuimen have one?"
"Of course." The other party put out a pack of Kuimen and handed it to Xu Erlong.
"I don't want a pack."
"Want one?" the other party asked.
These days, due to limited finances, many young people want to take a puff. These cigarette sellers are also ingenious, breaking up the cigarettes and selling them one by one.
