    ?

    The warm winter sun shrouded Lin'an County.  As the whistle of the lunch break sounded, the gate of the No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant opened, and the workers rushed to the cafeteria with their lunch boxes.

    Workers are the darlings of this era, especially the workers of the No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant. Because they do heavy physical work, they are given rations ranging from thirty-five to forty-eight catties per month, and their treatment is very good.  Compared with the situation of hunger and famine in the outside world, the canteen of the No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant was full of steamed buns and porridge with mixed grains. Occasionally, supplies came, with an extra 30 cents and a ticket, and a spoonful of meat.  Vegetables, add a white flour steamed bun.

    ? Young workers will choose to transfer their food relations to the cafeteria, and from time to time they can also make tooth-beating sacrifices.  Only workers with heavy family burdens and families to support will choose to bring their own meals, steam them on the iron stove in the cafeteria, and then eat them with pickles.

    Today, before a few young people approached the cafeteria, they heard someone complaining: "It's fried hairtail with eggplant again. I haven't been afraid of getting bored after cooking it for a week."

    The workers who heard this all complained in unison.  There is a shortage of fish these days, only hairtail is easy to transport and store. The procurement department of the cafeteria got a truck from somewhere, and sold it as a meat dish with eggplants.  It's okay to eat a few meals, but if you cook a few more meals, the big guys will feel nauseous when they smell the smell.

    "Hey, it's boring, it's boring, let's go to the back door!" This is a tacit signal from everyone.

    There are a few mobile vendors at the back door of the factory dormitory. Seeing that these workers are well-off, they often come to sell some snacks such as boiled edamame, fried peanuts, and braised duck feet.  Hearing this, some workers shook their heads and continued to go to the cafeteria, while others walked towards the back door with their shoulders crossed.

    Today when the workers walked to the back door, apart from the usual few hawkers, there was also a pretty little girl standing beside them.  The little girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with snow-white skin, black hair tied into a ponytail, a large army green padded jacket, and an army green satchel.

    Most of the workers are young and young, and their eyeballs are glued to them immediately, and they are embarrassed to look hard.  From time to time, they glanced at each other, and then glanced at each other, muttering to each other whose sister is waiting for someone?  Some couldn't help but pretend to pass by her, wanting to take a closer look.

    Who knew that as soon as she passed in front of her, the little girl said crisply: "Comrade, do you want to eat meat?"

    "Uh!What?" The young worker who was asked blushed as if his tail had been stepped on.

    Li Ranran took out the lunch box with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Meicai Pork is homemade. It's clean and delicious. Do you want it?"

    "Meat?!" The young worker swallowed.

    How can anyone not be gluttonous these days?  He worked hard all day in the factory, and when he was young, he could make seven or eight big steamed buns in one meal!  Lin Ranran opened a corner of the lunch box, revealing the greasy pickled pork inside, his eyes turned green.

    "Yes, yes!"

    Lin Ranran sat on the ground and raised the price: "Fifty and three slices of meat, take one or two meat tickets."

    "What?" The young worker's eyes widened.

    Lin Ranran also became nervous. Could it be that the price was too high?  Then the young man suddenly said: "Wait! I'll go to my fellow workers to collect meat tickets, so keep it for me!"

    After speaking, he ran away.

    Lin Ranran breathed a sigh of relief.  At this time, workers came over one after another, and their eyes lit up when they saw Lin Ranran's meat, but when they heard that the price was either too expensive, or there was no meat ticket.  For a while, Lin Ranran was surrounded by several people, but they didn't pay for it.

    A female worker with big braids curled her lips and said, "A spoonful of braised pork in the canteen is only 30 cents, and there is no meat ticket. Why do you sell it so expensive? Besides, is your meat clean? It can't be made of dead animal meat, right?"  ?¡±

    She is the only woman among a group of young men, which is a bit like being surrounded by stars.  In addition, what she said was too unappetizing, and those who wandered around and wanted to buy hesitated.  Especially the young worker who just went to collect the meat ticket came back with the ticket, and frowned when he heard this: "Comrade Zeng Hongmei, it's meal time, how can you talk like that?"

    "Am I wrong? How much pork does the butcher shop supply every day? Where does she get this pork? What if it's dead pork?"

    "But this meat smells delicious." The workers hesitated.  After all, this kind of meat is not common, and you can see it once or twice a week in the cafeteria.  Moreover, Lin Ranran's braised meat smells delicious and looks even more attractive.

    Zeng Hongmei became even more enthusiastic, and said: "It smells delicious, have you eaten it? What if the taste is not good, it will cost you a tael of meat for fifty cents! Who can guarantee that it is delicious?"

    The big guys looked at each other in blank dismay, yes, fifty cents a tael is a lot of meat tickets, if you buy dead pork or the taste is not good, it is thanks to you!

    "I can vouch for her!" Following these words, a worker squeezed into the crowd, who bought Lin Ranran's pork yesterday??.  The workers who bought Lin Ranran's braised meat just now knew Lin Ranran's craftsmanship, so they rushed up and said, "I'll buy it! I'll buy it!"

    "Go and go, the ones you buy are not allowed to be queued again, it's not fair!" The workers who were still hesitating immediately snapped up their money to buy them.  When the worker who bought the lo-mei tasted it, the expression on his face immediately encouraged the others, and they all rushed forward.

    Doing business these days also pays attention to marketing.  Lin Ranran secretly rejoiced that all the lo mei had been cut into twos last night. At this time, they were divided quickly with a pair of chopsticks, and Li Jiefang volunteered to help collect the money, which didn't make Lin Ranran too flustered.

    In the end, all the braised pork lo mei brought by Lin Ranran were sold out, and the workers who came after hearing the news looked at the empty lunch boxes and lamented.

    "Little girl, are you coming tomorrow? Is there any meat left?" The workers looked at Lin Ranran eagerly.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
