Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 11
Zhang Yu listened to the past events, and his mind was attracted by these things. He hurriedly ordered some dried noodles, washed up and went to bed after eating.

Lying on the bed thinking about what my sister-in-law said was really an eye-opener.

When watching TV in the past, I just felt that there was something wrong in the Qingman Courtyard, but I didn't expect that there were so many unknown things hidden in it.

Especially the affairs of Jia's family gave him a lot of knowledge. It stands to reason that after Jia's father passed away, because Jia Dongxu was still young, the street once arranged manual work for Jia Zhang, and he could earn at least ten yuan a month for doing it.

But she didn't, every time she handed in the work, she procrastinated, and the quality was not good. Gradually, she stopped taking the work.The vacated work will naturally be assigned to those who need it more.

Moreover, what puzzled him in the original drama was that Jia Zhang's family was not registered in the city. You must know that when the plot started, she had been in the city for many years.

For so many years, it was impossible for him not to have the opportunity to change his urban hukou once. Only now did he know part of the reason.

It turns out that from 1949 to 1953, rural household registrations would be divided into land, and every person on the household registration would have a piece of land. In order to take advantage of this, the Jia family gave up changing the household registration to an urban one. At that time, only Jia's father transferred the household registration.

Later, the centimeter system was implemented in the countryside, and the working people collectively owned and managed collectively.Jia's family has never received food from the countryside, but in the final analysis, they are still too lazy to participate in labor.

However, urban residents implement food rations, and only one member of the Jia family can receive food. At this time, if you want to transfer, you can't transfer.

What makes him even more strange is that many people have an impression of the uncle, but as far as he knows, the eighth-level fitter is a very good existence now.

When he graduated in later generations, he once wrote a thesis, "On how good the eighth-level fitter is", so he is relatively clear about the status of the eighth-level fitter.

When he checked the information, he found that before the 90s, there were not many people with the title of eighth-level fitter.

It was not until the beginning of the 90s that a large number of eight-level fitters appeared.

This is related to the national economic policy at that time. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we learned the division method of the former Soviet Union. An eighth-level fitter represented the national technical elite.

Moreover, this line of work requires the most hard work and talent, and ordinary people may not reach this height after decades of hard work.

But now, through his work in the Red Star Rolling Mill for the past few days, he found that being an ordinary fitter is already a very decent and enviable job.

Take the ration of grain as an example, the general ration is 23 catties for residents, 26 catties for cadres, and 32 catties for middle school students, while the basic ration for fitters in the Red Star Rolling Mill can reach 45 catties for processing and growing grain

There are indications that the fitter of this era is a great job.

On the basis of ordinary fitters, the eighth-level fitter must master the machining performance and cutting performance of various metal materials and the production and repair of various knives.

In the era without computers, practical problems could be solved with just one hand, hammer, wrench, vise, hacksaw, and file with one's own brain.

The manufacture of my country's first-generation submarine, first missile, first atomic bomb, and first space satellite is inseparable from the hard work of eighth-level workers.

You know, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the eighth-level fitter rubbed the atomic bomb with his hands.The most powerful eighth-level fitter, Senior Li filled the atomic bomb with uranium balls.

In addition, the salary of the eighth-level workers is also very enviable, 108 yuan per month, which is several times that of the first-level workers.

With the status of an eighth-level fitter, the uncle cannot be the kind of villain described by some people.

Thinking about it, Zhang Yu slowly fell asleep with a little bit of doubt. If you can't figure it out, let time solve it.

"The system opens today's sign-in."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You will get two yuan in cash and 50 meters of oiled paper."

Seeing the greased paper obtained by signing in, Zhang Yu instantly thought of its usefulness.

He didn't know if there was plastic sheeting now, so he didn't dare to take out the plastic sheeting he had signed in before. Now that he has oiled paper, he can grow vegetables in winter.

Take it out and have a look, it is very resistant to folding, the waterproof performance is also good, and the light transmission is also OK.

He plans to build the edge of the flower bed with earth bricks to a height of about 1m in late autumn, insert some bamboo on it, and spread it with two layers of oiled paper.

On top of the oil paper, spread a layer of felt made of straw, and a simple greenhouse will be fine.

In winter, it would be better to plant some freeze-resistant vegetables such as leeks.

Before he finished thinking, there was a knock on the door. He Yuzhu came early in the morning to check what dishes were in the house, and planned the menu in advance according to the vegetables and meat available.

"Brother Yuzhu, drink water."

"I'm not thirsty, I came after breakfast. You don't have to work, Xiaoyu, I came to see what dishes you have prepared in advance? Let's discuss what dishes to cook?" He Yuzhu stopped Zhang Yu from holding the cup.

"Brother Yu Zhu, I don't know much about this, it's up to you to decide today."

He Yuzhu was very happy about Zhang Yu's family's trust, and patted his chest: "Brother Xiaoyu, don't worry, I will definitely show the best craftsmanship, and I will never lose your face." Since He Daqing left, it has been very Haven't had a banquet for a long time.

Many people looked at him as too young and did not trust his skills and experience. Today he must make a name for himself.

With the cooperation of He Yuzhu, the warming banquet was successfully completed.

According to the quality of the relationship, people come to give gifts, and Uncle Zhao records the gifts they give at the door. With these records, when they go to other people's weddings in the future, they will have a basis for how many miles they go.

Zhang Yu saw that according to personal circumstances, the gift of good or bad relationship is also different.Those who are close will bring heavy gifts such as thermos, washbasin, and cloth; those who are farther away will bring some sugar and pastries; those who are further away will give a few cents.

However, in this era, when eating banquets or relatives, as long as they are sensible, most of them will bring their own rations.Because the rations are fixed now, okay, if you go to someone else's house to eat and drink, and eat their rations for a week, how will they live the rest of their lives?
The guests are very satisfied with the eight bowls made by He Yuzhu. Although many materials in the eight bowls have been replaced due to the material, good ingredients and good craftsmanship still create a satisfactory result.

After the banquet, many people inquired who made it, and planned to invite him to the banquet in the future.

What is served at the banquet is Laobaiganer, which is sorghum wine.

Several seniors were arranged on a table alone, such as Mrs. Sun in the courtyard, Uncle Zhao, and several uncles from the courtyard next door.

What they arranged on the table was Fenjiu, which is the national liquor of this era.

Like many people, he has always thought that Maotai is the national wine, and many people who travel through rebirth will collect Maotai as their first choice.

But later he checked the information and found that the first banquet after the founding ceremony in 1949 used Fenjiu and Zhuyeqing
Although Moutai is already a world-renowned wine in modern society, at the beginning of the founding of New China, the development of Moutai was still limited to small-scale production in workshops, and there was no way to sell it in a short period of several months Mass production.

Some peanuts and a cold dish were served on the table for everyone to drink with.When the words were almost the same, the eight bowls were officially served.

After they came up, they didn't even bother to talk, just kept picking up vegetables.

After eating, there are basically no leftovers.Take some of the dishes left in the kitchen to Master He.
