Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 9 First Purchase

I woke up too early in the morning, even though I had finished planting pumpkins, it was only after 6 o'clock after attending the general meeting of the hospital, and it was still more than two hours before I went to work at 8:30 in the morning.

With nothing to do during these hours, he simply lit the stove and started cooking.

Prepare to make two meals, one for breakfast and the other for lunch in the factory.

Bringing rice is not because I dislike the food in the factory. In fact, the rice in the factory tastes good, much better than ordinary people.

But a big stove is a big stove after all, even in this era, it is considered luscious.

But after all, he is not a complete person of this era, and he has seen the cooking of later generations, so for him, the oil and water are still a little less, which does not suit his own taste.

Just in the morning, I signed the beef and tomato, and I still have a few potatoes at home. This is a stewed potato with tomato beef, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Cut the beef into small pieces, wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces, peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces for later use.

Although it is a pity that the system does not check in beef brisket, but it is good to eat some.In addition, although it is not sirloin meat, the meat quality is very good and very fresh, so the step of blanching is omitted.

Put oil in the pot, heat the oil, add beef and light soy sauce, stir fry evenly and put it in a special casserole.

In addition, heat the oil in a pan, heat the oil, add the tomatoes and stir-fry the soup, and put it in the casserole as well.

Just cooking the oil twice and letting outsiders see it would probably scold him for being a waste.

I saw that the water in the casserole was running low, so I added some water, and added spices, potatoes and dried peppers.

Stew for more than 40 minutes and it can be eaten out of the pot.

When the meat is stewed, the aroma is overflowing, so that fewer people can smell the aroma of the meat.He made preparations during the renovation, and the entire kitchen was tightly sealed.In order to do the sealing work of the kitchen, I spent an extra 30 yuan to hire an old craftsman.

Although the price is high, Zhang Yu thinks it is very worth it, and basically there will be no smell.

It laid the foundation for him to eat meat in the future. Although the people in the courtyard are good, he doesn't want to test human nature. It's better to avoid some things in the first place.

Put a bowl of freshly steamed rice on it, pour a spoonful of thick soup, and then put stewed rotten beef and potatoes on it.

Mix it well, scoop it up with a spoon and swallow it in a big mouthful. The sweet and sour tomato, the dense potato, and the soft and rotten beef are all mixed together.

Served half of the freshly prepared dish to my sister-in-law. While praising his craftsmanship, my sister-in-law said that he was wasting the meat and it was enough for him to replenish his body. Why did you bring so much meat?
Zhang Yu smiled, didn't speak, and found an excuse, and hurried back to his room before the meal was finished.

It has to be said that the actions of the few uncles in the courtyard were really quick. In just one and a half hours of cooking and eating, he quickly came up with a plan for dividing the land and divided the land fairly.

As he had imagined, when the courtyard was divided, he was divided into two flower beds at the entrance.

Because there are not many vegetables, he plans to go to the countryside to buy some seeds.

Just because of the repair of the house, there was going to be housewarming wine at home, so he volunteered to purchase the necessary supplies by himself, just using this as an excuse to mix in some of the things he got from signing in.

I originally wanted to wait for the holiday, but I didn't expect to have a surprise when I got to work today.

As soon as he got to work, Angkor walked to his desk: "Xiaoyu, tidy up, and I will go out with me in a while. I am still short of this week's procurement tasks. I just issued a letter of introduction and went to the countryside to see See if you can purchase some supplies. You follow me, just to teach you some things that need to be paid attention to during the procurement process, let you do some small things, and I will watch from the side, just for you to practice. "

"Okay, Angkor, I've packed it." Zhang Yu looked at the lunch box he was carrying and muttered to himself, he is a prophet.

The two of them opened the letter of introduction and went to find a large car. Wu Chuan Xiaoyu handed a cigarette to the driver in charge: "Team Leader Wang, I will trouble you this time."

"It's all for work. Besides, aren't the materials you purchased consumed by the whole factory? I also use the purchased materials." Team leader Wang put the cigarette on his ear: "Get in the car, it happens to be free now, let's go quickly back."

Several people chatted non-stop along the way, and soon arrived at a nearby village.

After handing over the letter of introduction and the certificate to the team leader, the team leader turned on the loudspeaker without hesitation: "Every member of the production team, please pay attention, everyone, please pay attention, the buyer of the Red Star Rolling Mill is here to purchase materials."

"The purchase price is as follows. Eggs are 4 cents per catty, pork is 8 cents per catty, and vegetables are 7 cents per catty..." The team members who heard the news quickly ran home and took out the eggs that had been accumulated for a long time at home.

You know, even if you travel a long way to send it to the supply and marketing cooperative, each egg is only about five cents, and the supply and marketing society chooses the big one.

Now that someone comes to purchase, the price has increased a lot, not to mention, and it is by the catty regardless of the size.

"Auntie, there are two catties in total. This is 9 cents and 6. You keep it."

"Auntie, there are three catties of eggs and 20 catties of vegetables. The eggs are 1 yuan and 4 cents, and the vegetables are 4 cents. The total is 2 yuan and 04 cents."

……

……

For the next hour or so, the team members kept coming, and Zhang Yu kept repeating the work at hand, and his throat became hoarse.

We kept weighing and counting money, shouting loudly, and finally when the sky was getting dark, no one came over.

Looking at the harvest on the car, Wu Chuan nodded involuntarily, and said with a satisfied smile, "This time I'm lucky. I didn't expect there to be so much stock in the village. More than half of the quota for this month has been completed."

Then he turned his head to look at the driver and Zhang Yu and said, "There is still a little time left, we still have half an hour, and this half hour is free for leisure."

Understanding his secret meaning, Zhang Yu and the driver both smiled, and then each chose a direction.

Zhang Yu came to the door of a house with a relatively large courtyard: "Is anyone at home?"

"Here, what's the matter?" The aunt who opened the door looked at it: "Isn't this the little brother who just collected things, what's the matter?"

"Ma'am, I want to grow some vegetables, but I don't have any seeds. Can I find some seeds here?" Zhang Yu, who was looking for things for the first time, was still a little shy, and had to type up several drafts in his heart before he dared to speak.

"Yes, yes, the seeds at home are all here. Whatever seeds you want, you can take them yourself." After speaking, he smiled proudly: "The seeds here are the most complete in the neighborhood."

Zhang Yu bought a large bag of seeds with 5 cents. Before leaving, the aunt dug out some roots of the clump of leeks that had just been cut in the corner.

"Young man, take these leek roots, go back and plant them with a little water, and they will grow again in ten and a half months."

"Thank you ma'am, I'm sorry to trouble you, how much are these?"

"Thank you, thank you. Some leek roots are not good things. Take whatever money you want." After speaking, he pushed Zhang Yu out.

Looking at a large bag of seeds in your hand, I once again lamented your simplicity in this era.

Back in the car, the three of them had a tacit understanding and didn't ask each other what they bought.

Because the car was loaded with a lot of eggs and other relatively fragile items, the car drove a little slower on the way back.

It was not until after 9 o'clock in the evening that I arrived at the factory, unloaded the goods, and got the note.Angkor announced that you can have a day off tomorrow.

This is the advantage of dry purchasing, as long as you can get supplies, you can get a lot of rest time.
