The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 103, General Assembly

Hearing what the third master said, Li Weiguo remembered that every year when the new year was approaching in his memory, the whole hospital had to organize people to line up at the entrance of the vegetable market all night, and this year would be no exception.

Why queue up all night?

Because the supply of meat at the end of the year is very tight, everyone has saved meat tickets for more than half a year, just waiting to buy some meat for a good meal in the past few days. The family has saved meat tickets for half a year. catty.

How many households must there be in the whole emperor? Can you not queue up? If you go late, you may not be able to buy lean meat, let alone fat meat.

From the New Year's Eve to the New Year's Eve, the pork guys at the meat stalls in the wet market all work overtime to sell meat. They open the business early every morning and don't finish work until [-] or [-] in the evening. This is a change from the usual style of starting work at three o'clock in the morning. .

But even so, it is not easy for the big guys to buy a sufficient amount of pork.

Moreover, the Spring Festival is the most important festival for ordinary people across the country, and there will be a large supply of chickens, ducks and geese.

According to the household registration, "big households" and "small households" are divided into "big households" and "small households", and the supply is given in different quantities according to the size of the population.

Therefore, if you want to buy enough chickens, ducks and geese, you have to queue up at the vegetable market at three o'clock in the middle of the night. Otherwise, you don't know which corner you have to queue for if you go late, and there will be nothing left when it's your turn.

If you want to buy chicken, duck and goose, you have to wait in line for about 6-8 hours, which is very difficult. The same goes for pork. In order to buy enough fatty pork, you also need to get up in the middle of the night and queue up.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo nodded and said, "Okay, Third Master, I understand."

Back in the house, he read for more than an hour. Feeling that it was almost time for dinner, Li Weiguo got up to cook. No one had bought meat yet, so it was not appropriate to fry meat in the yard. He just made a simple meal. Stir-fried cabbage and cut into a plate of cold pig ears, dinner is done.

After finishing the meal and putting away the dishes, he saw that the neighbors outside the door were gathering towards the central courtyard. Li Weiguo also brought a bench, closed the door, and walked towards the central courtyard.

Today's conference is the usual practice in previous years, so everyone is quite active. After a while, the whole hospital, old and young, is basically present.

The entire central courtyard was brightly lit, and an Eight Immortals table was placed in the middle, and the three uncles were already taking their seats with tea.

Li Weiguo looked around, found a random place behind the crowd, put down the bench and sat down.

As soon as he took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket, he saw Yuyu coming from nowhere. He sat down next to him and without any politeness, he reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Li Weiguo's hand.

"Hee hee. Brother Wei, you secretly eat delicious food and don't take me with you."

Li Weiguo smiled angrily and said, "Why didn't I take you with me, have you eaten any of the things in my room?"

"Humph ~ I didn't take me today, I secretly hid behind here to eat melon seeds." Yushui glared at Li Weiguo, and said coquettishly.

Yushui's eyes almost choked on Li Weiguo's old look.

After being fed and fed by Li Weiguo in recent months, this girl's nutrition has kept up. Her whole body has become more hydrated, her face has gained a lot of flesh, and her face is full of collagen. Her body is also well developed, quite a bit. flavor.

This little goblin is doing evil.
Li Weiguo quickly shifted his gaze to the center of the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the field, stood up first, cleared his throat first, and then said with a big belly: "Okay, everyone should be quiet now. I see that all the households are basically here, then Let’s start this hospital-wide meeting. First of all, I’d like to invite the senior gentleman to give a lecture to everyone, everyone is chirping.”

This old boy in Liu Haizhong, regardless of big or small things, as long as there are many people, he likes to come out to find a sense of presence, and he really enjoys this feeling of being watched by everyone.

I thought about becoming an official every day, but unfortunately I had no education and no level. I didn’t learn the leadership’s bearing and style, but I learned [-]% of the talk and official airs.

After he finished speaking, the melon-eaters below gave him some face, and they all clapped their hands symbolically.

The elder Yi Zhonghai smiled and waved his hands: "Hehe. This is a meeting in our own yard. It's not that particular. Everyone should be more casual. Alright, let's get down to business.

This conference is an annual convention. At the end of the year, the chicken, duck, goose and pork in the vegetable market have begun to increase the supply. The supply has been increased, but it is not easy to buy enough meat. In the past few days at the end of the year, the entire People in the imperial capital would line up at two or three in the middle of the night.

From tomorrow onwards, chickens, ducks and geese will be available in the imperial capital. If we want to buy a sufficient amount of meat, we have to queue up early, so we called everyone to discuss the matter of queuing at night. "

After the uncle finished speaking, he picked up the enamel jar, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Every year, queuing up is like fighting a war. When there are too many people, quarrels and frictions are inevitable, so we queue up in an organized way in the yard. It’s not easy to suffer.”

The third master on the side smiled and echoed: "Yes, yes, you can queue up in an organized way, and you can help each other to occupy the queue, and the people in the queue can also help to buy things together, which can save a lot of time. For us Everyone is a good thing. The most important thing is that after waiting in line for several hours, someone can take turns to go to the toilet or something, ha ha."

The third uncle is on the thin side and has suffered a lot when quarreling with others in line in the past, so he is in favor of the whole hospital taking action together.

Silly Zhu, who was sitting in the front row, also nodded in agreement and said: "The third uncle is right, this is a good thing, and we all agree with it. When I was queuing up in the middle of the night last year, I wanted to go to the toilet but didn't dare to go. I was afraid that if I walked in front, someone else would be behind me. He took my seat and almost choked me to death when he peed, but fortunately, the uncle came over and took my place."

"Hahaha" everyone roared with laughter.

I laughed, but the neighbors in the neighborhood agreed after hearing it. No one helped to occupy the seat in the line. There are many cases where the front foot goes to the toilet, and the back foot is occupied by someone. Every year, there are disputes because of this, and there are fewer people. It's not good to compete with others.

Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to buy meat to help each other occupy a place in line.

After all, I got up at two or three in the middle of the night and stood in line for six or seven hours. In this winter, the north wind was blowing hard, and my body was so hard that I couldn't stand it after waiting in line for so long. Plus I had to go to the toilet and so on. Need someone to help with rotation.

The uncle looked around and saw that no one objected, so he said, "Okay, since everyone agrees, then I will make arrangements according to the usual practice of previous years."

Soon, the tone of the matter was set. People from every household went out to line up, and they were divided into four groups. Two groups went to the poultry stalls and meat kiosks respectively, and the other two groups were old and weak, women and children, responsible for temporary rotation.

Li Weiguo didn't care about such an arrangement, he just waited and listened to it.

He definitely doesn't lack meat or something, but it's also a good idea not to take part in group activities, otherwise where do you get your New Year's stuff from?It's not easy to explain.
