Chapter 13 Luxurious Eating Sha County
In the morning, someone started to check the amount of yesterday's project. Luo Cheng didn't know how complete the project was. Anyway, people kept coming to pick up the steel bars he bent, but there were always a lot of them placed here. No one said he bent them. Too few can't keep up with the progress.
I worked until after 11 o'clock. Work is early on the construction site in the morning, and 11 o'clock is basically the time to take a break and eat. Someone came to be in charge of the progress of the project for this group of people, and they were given money. The money given was yesterday's money.
Luo Cheng actually received 360 yuan, which was 60 yuan more than what he had received daily before. But according to reports, many people worked overtime in order to make progress. Usually I work half an hour earlier at noon and finish work half an hour later in the afternoon. And because it is an engineering measurement system, everyone works without a break.
Luo Cheng seemed to have remembered this explanation. The man who poured cement yesterday seemed to be still working after five o'clock. But it seems that his working hours haven't changed much, and he has an extra sixty just by hanging around. And people were still hinting to him not to do it so fast.
This income, if you work non-stop for a month, your monthly income will be tens of thousands.
At noon, this time Luo Cheng did not go to the roadside lunch box stall to eat. He had been in this era for many days, and he began to slowly integrate into this era. Luo Cheng plans to go out to a restaurant next time. Of course, it's just a small restaurant. There is a place to eat right next to the cell phone repair shop, so I am willing to spend a small amount of money to earn money.
Comparing value with how much money can buy rice is somewhat unworkable in this era. I don’t want to think about my own era, where people were given food stamps when buying food, and they were given food stamps for how much rice they ate. Just having money is not enough, but in this era, as long as you have money, then the value will be unstable and out of control.
"Shaxian snacks and beef ramen are also available. See what you can eat. You should be extravagant."
First, we walked into the ramen shop. The prices were posted on the wall. There were various types of ramen and shaved noodles. In addition, they also sold rice here, called donburi. Luo Cheng didn't understand what gai pouring meant, but this bowl of noodles cost more than ten yuan. It's not like a box lunch. You can add noodles after eating. There are only a few taels of noodles in this bowl. Supermarkets sell dried noodles, and they only cost three yuan a bucket, which can make a big pot.
Seeing that the people next to the store were enjoying the food, Luo Cheng thought he would go to the Shaxian snacks next door.
Entering Shaxian snacks, I found that the price is about the same as ramen. But this is rice with some marinated vegetables, chicken leg rice, duck leg rice, and big rib rice. The main ingredient is paired with dried tofu, ham, eggs and some vegetables. However, the rice here can be eaten on site and you can serve it yourself.
It still seems to be less cost-effective than the box lunch. A duck leg rice costs fifteen yuan, and a smaller chicken drumstick costs thirteen yuan. But Luo Cheng had never eaten braised food before, and it didn't feel like a luxury after a while. At least you can add rice and you'll be full.
So I decided to have a meal at Shaxian Snacks. This was my first time eating braised food and I thought it tasted quite interesting. But it just feels like the taste is different, and it’s not that delicious. Compared with boxed lunches, it still doesn’t seem cost-effective. But when you come to this time and space, you have to try something. After eating it, at most you won't come next time.
After dinner, Luo Cheng went to a second-hand mobile phone store, which was actually a mobile phone repair shop. It costs 80 yuan to replace a battery board. I don’t want to give up eating. My phone is a good treasure. I can watch videos and play. This is unambiguous. I will replace it immediately.
On the way back, Luo Cheng extravagantly bought a bottle of drinks worth three yuan, which cost him a total of ninety-eight yuan at noon. He also had to eat in the evening. Darling, he spent a hundred yuan a day, that is, at this time. If I were in my time, I would be scared to death.
When I returned to the construction site, I thought that I was going to get married in a few days, so I had to make things more beautiful. I didn't go to see Master Wang this time. Master Wang is also alone here. He doesn't usually cook and always eats out. But there are many couples at the construction site who buy and cook their own food, and neither of them can spend much money in a day.
If two people eat lunch every day and eat breakfast outside, the meal alone will cost at least fifty yuan a day, and fifty yuan can be made by two people by themselves, which is very rich. If you make it simply, two people can eat it for a day for about ten yuan.
"Hello sister-in-law, Lao Zhang, let me have a cigarette."
"Ronald, what's the matter? Have you eaten yet?"
"Have eaten, Lao Zhang, I want to ask you something, where did you buy your vegetables? The Tianhong Supermarket in the south only sells vegetables, not meat."
"You plan to cook alone. Don't you go out with Lao Wang every day to eat lunch?"
"I don't want to cook, but occasionally I want to improve my life. I buy some meat to stew myself. There aren't many pieces of meat in lunch boxes."
"That's true. There is a pedestrian street on the left side of the gate. Do you know?"
Hearing Lao Zhang ask this, Luo Cheng shook his head. Whenever Lao Zhang and his wife go to a construction site, they will look for places to sell vegetables nearby. But Luo Cheng couldn't stroll around. If he could stroll around, he would wander around alone first. So he really didn't know. Even if someone said that he couldn't go and needed someone to take him there, he still had to say he didn't know.
It was easy for Luo Cheng to go shopping for groceries. Lao Zhang and the others didn't go shopping in the morning because the construction site started early in the morning. I usually finish work in the afternoon and go shopping for vegetables. I can buy more vegetables and have room to store them. As for the meat, they bought it and put it in the refrigerator at the canteen at the construction site. Because Lao Zhang always goes to the canteen to buy beer and drink, so storing some meat does not count.
That is to say, it is not necessary to put it in the refrigerator if the weather is hot. Otherwise, there is no need to put it in the refrigerator. Luo Cheng wanted to visit the pedestrian street, so he could just call it a day and go with them this afternoon.
Hearing that Lao Zhang was willing to take him to the pedestrian street, Luo Cheng smoked another cigarette before returning to his dormitory. Many workers would just lie down for a while and then go to sleep after eating. Luo Cheng seizes the time to play with his mobile phone. In addition to watching exposed pretty girls, he also likes many funny videos. However, he was confused when watching some of the meme videos and couldn't understand the meaning.
In the future time and space, Luo Cheng felt that time passed very quickly. He played with his mobile phone during his break and it passed in a while. When I was working, I was very energized by the thought of earning hundreds of dollars a day, so I didn't feel bored at all.
In the afternoon, Luo Chengdu felt like he had to call it a day after working a few times, but this was normal. Because I started work early in the morning, I worked for more than five hours in the morning. The weather was hot, so I started work at two o'clock at noon and finished at about five o'clock. I worked for more than three hours in the afternoon. It was not an illusion to feel that the afternoon passed quickly.
After finishing the work, Luo Cheng went to find Lao Zhang and the others, and they only needed to take him to the pedestrian street. As for the pedestrian street, it is an old street, relatively narrow, bicycles and electric vehicles can pass, but cars cannot.
There are some old people on both sides of the street selling some vegetables here, while the shops on both sides sell a lot more. There are shops selling steamed buns, cold dishes and stewed vegetables, roast duck, pork, fried snacks, fruit shops, and all kinds of goods. There is also a small supermarket here, but the supermarket here does not sell vegetables, but more groceries.
