Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 10

When approaching the courtyard, Zhang Yu found a dead end and took out the things from the system to take home.

There is very little fresh pork in this season. In order not to attract attention, he took out two pieces of bacon about 5 catties each, and two catties of sausages, about ten pieces.

These cured meats are taken out, it can be said that they were put on by the villagers for the New Year, and they have been kept until now.Now you need to use money or things, take them out and exchange them for things.

Two old hens, five catties of eggs and ten catties of dried noodles.

During this period of time, it may be the reason why he wanted to grow taller. He always felt that his legs were cramping, so he took out a bucket of ten catties of milk. There are many people in the family, so he can definitely drink it in a day.After drinking the milk, the bucket can also be used to put cold boiled water.

With big bags and small bags at home, this purchase gave him a reason to subsidize the family.

When someone asked, they said that they were found in the countryside to find someone to buy and exchange. Now the inspection is not so strict, and things are allowed to be exchanged.

"Gu, I'm back," the door was open, and my sister was sitting at the door, she must be waiting for him.

"What did you do, come back so late." Seeing her nephew came back, Zhang Guifang felt relieved.

"Auntie, Angkor took me temporarily to the countryside to do some shopping today. Because time is tight, I didn't tell you in advance."

"You've only been working for a few days, and you've gone out to do the shopping?"

"The procurement task this time is relatively simple, so Angkor wants to take me to see and learn." After speaking, he handed the things in his hand to Zhang Guifang: "Gu, please take the things in my hand."

Looking at his big bags and small bags, he still held two cages in his hand: "What are you bringing? So many?"

"Today I was shopping in the countryside. After the purchasing task was completed, I had some free time. They all went, and I changed some things." He said and showed Zhang Guifang the things in his hand.

Zhang Guifang saw that something in his hand was showing a little, and quickly pulled the thing in his hand into the room and closed the door.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, "You bought these?"

"Of course, sister, look at how good these two pieces of bacon and sausage look. They smell only of fragrance and nothing else." He said and put the bacon in his hand to the tip of Zhang Guifang's nose.

Zhang Guifang smelled it carefully, and there was only the smell of meat and aniseed ingredients. You must know that knowledge in this era is not circulated enough, unlike the Internet in later generations. A lot of knowledge is circulated on the Internet, causing later generations to think that knowledge is no big deal.

In this era, secret recipes are taken very seriously. Many secret recipes are passed on to men but not to women, and they would rather be lost than spread casually.

Therefore, the method of pickling cured meat in many villages is usually very simple, just sprinkle salt and hang it, and some finished products will inevitably have a certain smell.

The sister-in-law touched and touched everything that Zhang Yu brought, and quickly arranged the place to go.

The two hens received the best treatment. The sister-in-law urged the uncle to nail the chicken coop with wooden boards overnight, and also used the food bowls made of old bowls that were never willing to be discarded.Zhao Wenzhuo had to exaggerate at the beginning, but the two eggs picked up from the chicken coop the next day made him really fragrant.

Only half of the bacon and sausages are left, and the rest is used to make housewarming wine. The two families have agreed to do it together.

I was still worried about what to do, but now I have the main course, and I can cook a few meat dishes.

Most of the eggs were left by Zhang Guifang to her nephew, and a small part was kept for her own family to improve food for several children.

As for milk, it is a good thing. Since the supply has decreased, the milk provided to children on the street has often been intermittent, and the amount has decreased a lot.

The milk was boiled, and several people drank a big pot each.

Originally, I planned to keep some more for Zhang Yu, but I was not sure if I could drink it tomorrow.

In order not to waste, several people drank milk until they were full, and then covered their stomachs to enjoy it, and finally ate to [-]% full.

In addition to these things, several people also discussed how to make housewarming wine, how many people to invite, how many dishes to cook, who should be invited and who should not be invited.

It happened that Zhang Yu had a rest tomorrow, so he also participated in it. He put forward his own opinion on which chef should be invited to cook.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that Yuzhu in the courtyard next door has graduated from the teacher, and is now working as a chef in the cafeteria of the Red Star Rail Steel Factory. Who is the relationship, who might be jealous of him, push someone to frame him...

"He Yuzhu, who is it?"

"It's the one who lives in the main room in the courtyard next door, and the one who lives with a girl." Zhang Yu reminded.

"Oh, you're talking about silly Zhu. I'm used to hearing silly Zhu. I called out my name all of a sudden, but I didn't realize it for a while." Zhang Guifang patted his forehead: "I just know that his father, He Daqing, is good at cooking, especially Tanjia cuisine. I don't know how many layers he has learned?"

"I think it's okay, and the canteen tastes good after eating a few times." Zhang Yu is very confident in He Yuzhu's craftsmanship.

"Okay, I'll go to the next yard to find him later and ask if he accepts work."

When discussing the housewarming wine, Zhang Yu brought the topic to the Qingman Courtyard. To be honest, he was always a little curious about the courtyard next door.

"Sister-in-law, I'm always acting weird in the courtyard next door, why don't you tell me about it?"

"You are still young, what are you doing asking about this?" Zhang Guifang sighed looking at the expectant eyes: "Forget it, you have reached the age when you should be in charge of your own affairs, so I will tell you to avoid being calculated. Now that you know, don’t speak casually.” After speaking, he stared at several people.

"We promise not to speak out, sister-in-law, tell me quickly." In order to please Zhang Guifang, the others made a pot of tea and brought it to her.

"Actually, only a few old neighbors who have been living here know about this matter. Take the silly Zhu just now as an example. Why did his father run away in the first place? Why did he really like the White Widow to marry in? He even ran to Baocheng with others! "

Zhang Guifang drank her saliva and continued: "You must know that Tan's cuisine is one of the official dishes. Tan's cuisine is the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty.The ingredients are very precious, and ordinary people can't afford them. Think about it, did He Daqing only cook banquets for ordinary people before the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Not only for ordinary people, but for whom?So before dividing the division, he ran away with the widow, leaving a good division for He Yuzhu. "

"The few uncles in the courtyard were set up by the street office and various courtyards after the founding of the People's Republic of China in the early years when the police resources were insufficient.

In the beginning, it was to prevent enemy agents. At that time, people who walked around the alleys would be stopped and interrogated. If you look down inside the compound, it is more convenient to have a manager in charge of the management.
Later, some trivial matters of the parents could be solved in the courtyard to save police force.

After that, I stayed, but the one in the courtyard next door is a bit special. Zhang Guifang's eyes were full of strangeness when thinking of some strange things that happened in the next-door courtyard over the years.

"If you want to say that the Jia family is the most troublesome. The man in his family had an accident. Jia Zhang organized a group of people to go to the factory to make trouble. The factory lost money for the sake of looking good, and even kept the job for Jia Dongxu, but in fact Jia Dongxu The man in the family happened because he took over private work. But the original job was taken over by his uncle's family. After his uncle's accident, the family's children were young, so Jia Dongxu's father had to take over.

Before the succession, it was agreed that the child would be let back when he was old enough, but you have also seen that now Jia Dongxu is the successor, and the children from his uncle’s family have come and made troubles several times, and finally the factory coordinated and gave another point The factory quota was suppressed. "
