Kapitel 39: Going to the Town
Redakteur: Henyee Translations
The production team leader had deducted Wei Luan's production points for an entire week. This meant Wei Luan would work for nothing this week.
Ergou wanted to say something, but Wei Luan stopped him. "I'm fine. Go back to work."
Wei Luan was already used to this kind of thing. He did not come from a good family, and the production team often targeted him behind his back. This time, they finally caught him making a mistake, so he naturally had to punish him.
After finishing his work, Wei Luan returned home and put down his tools.
The fragrance of dinner wafted from the kitchen. This smell made Wei Luan feel at ease.
In the past, when he lived alone, no matter how late he came back, the house was always dead silent. There was no sound or light.
Now, someone would wait for him to come home and prepare hot food for him. She would even care if he was tired from work.
This must be the feeling of home.
Hearing the sound of the front door opening, Lin Yi wiped her hands on her apron and poked her head out of the kitchen. "You're back? Go wash your hands. We're having chive cakes today!"
Lin Yi used the last bit of flour to make the crust of the chive cake. The crust was filled with chives and eggs. After the chive pie was fried in oil and turned golden, the fragrance was especially strong.
Lin Yi also made a pot of dough balls and vegetable soup. She split the unused dough into small lumps and threw them into the water to cook. Then, she added the chopped vegetables.
A few days ago, Lin Yi went to Aunt Feng's place to get some radishes. She cut the radishes into strips and added chili, salt, sugar, and vinegar. After she was done, she soaked them in a sealed jar for four days. Today, she could take them out to eat.
The pickled radish no longer had an earthy taste. It was sour, spicy, and delicious, making one's appetite increase.
The table was filled with simple dishes, but under Lin Yi's skillful cooking, the food tasted delicious. The family finished all the food.
"I'm going to the market tomorrow, so I won't be around at lunchtime. I'll make you a few pancakes tomorrow morning and you'll have to make do for lunch. I'll make you something delicious when I come back at night," Lin Yi said as she put down her chopsticks and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Are you going alone?" Wei Luan was worried.
"I'm going with Liuliu."
"What can a child like him do? I'll apply for leave from the production team. I'll go with you."
Lin Yi waved her hand, "I'm an adult now, what's there to worry about? I'll be back at night after I'm done shopping."
Although Wei Luan was still a little worried, he did not say anything after seeing Lin Yi's determined attitude. However, after dinner, he repeatedly reminded Liuliu to be careful on the road with Lin Yi.
Before going to bed that night, Wei Luan took out a tattered cloth bag from his closet and handed it to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi opened the cloth bag and saw that it was filled with small and crumpled bills. There were a lot of them, and it seemed like this was all Wei Luan had.
Lin Yi was a little surprised. She looked up at Wei Luan and joked, "You're giving all this to me? Aren't you afraid that I'll run away with your money?"
Wei Luan looked at Lin Yi's bright smile and his heart raced. He lowered his head and did not say anything.
Lin Yi put away the money. She was not going to touch the money for the time being. She was happy that Wei Luan trusted her so much, but she decided to save the money for Wei Luan.
The next day, Lin Yi took the stamps for daily necessities that her parents had sent her and left.
She had more things to buy this time, so she hired a donkey cart and set off from the village at around eight in the morning. The donkey cart walked for more than two hours before finally reaching town.
Lin Yi asked Liuliu to wait for her at the entrance of the town while she went shopping.
There was a market today, so the town was very lively. The things sold in the market were like antiques from a completely different generation to her. Lin Yi had only seen these things in television dramas in her previous life.
However, these things were the most popular now.
Lin Yi went to the fabric shop to select some decent fabric and bought a set of needles, thread, and scissors as well.
After Lin Yi was done shopping, she went to the clothing store. The clothes of this era were very distinctive, and Lin Yi felt more confident now that she understood the current trend.
She planned to continue to develop her old skills in this era. She was not good at farm work, but in terms of fashion design, there were probably few people in the country who could fare better than her.
After visiting the clothing store, Lin Yi went to the market.
As Liuliu had visited the town beforehand and done the homework, Lin Yi had a rough understanding of the prices of goods in this era. This way, she could save time and avoid being deceived by some black-hearted merchants.
