Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 314 Chapter 313 Go to Qinghe again
The most effective way to increase team cohesion is not to inject chicken blood, chicken soup for the soul, or PUA, but to directly distribute benefits!
No one wants to work as 996 or 007, but enjoy the "blessing" of having their rent and mortgage deducted, which is just enough for food and clothing.

There is no so-called life, only living. Who wants to live this kind of life?
Lying down is the last stubbornness of the beaten workers.

There is a blogger on the famous Bianhu called "Jianlai" who answered the question "How wasteful can a person be?" He also has an account on Douyin named "Vagrant Li", a good young man, I don't know what kind of person he is. Reason for choosing to sleep in a tent.

If you have money, you will sleep for a day, if you have no money, you will go to deliver food, do not steal or rob, and do everything according to the rules. Life is obviously very difficult, but when you read this novel, you can read the original version!
I told him that life was difficult for him, but he laughed and I couldn't see through it...

Tang Zhitong is very lucky that he came to this era and has such a job that treats people as human beings.

On Tuesday, colleagues in the escort department were still smiling, immersed in the joy of the harvest.

As soon as Tang Zhitong got to work, he found Fangyuan, handed him a cigarette, and said straight to the point: "Brother Yuan, did the fat lady and the tall thin guy go to Qinghe?"

"They were all escorted over. What, do you have any ideas?" Fang Yuan lit a cigarette and asked.

"Well, then I'll follow the mail truck to Qinghe tomorrow." Tang Zhitong brought up the old matter again and didn't intend to let the two of them go.

"Okay, let's go." Fangyuan also remembered this incident. Tang Zhitong mentioned a friend over there last time and happily approved the leave.

In order to save trouble, many cooks use a souzi to rub shredded potatoes, then soak them and stir-fry them over high heat, which is a plate of fried shredded potatoes.

The people are nice, the dumpling fillings are good, but the flour is not very strong.

Tang Zhitong prepared the pumpkins, put them into a basin for later use, and then began to chop the meat filling.

"Mom, my employer asked me to go on a short business trip tomorrow. If I can't come back tonight, I won't be able to come back until the day after tomorrow." Tang Zhitong is responsible for rolling out the dough. The dough is rotated twice under the rolling pin, and a dumpling wrapper is ready.

After Tang Zhitong came home from get off work, Zhang Guifang had already bought the meat and was making noodles. She was waiting for her son to come home to mix the dumpling fillings and make dumplings.

If you have a grudge, don't report it on the spot, it's too obvious, but you can do it manually afterwards.

The one in the dark only operates in a small area. Everyone knows it, but few people reveal it.

There are two operating rules in this world, one under the sun and the other in the darkness, just like day and night, complementing each other.

Both Fangyuan and Tang Zhitong had a tacit understanding that the fat lady and the lanky girl should be remembered for a long time.

"Why did you say that? I'll pack up the food for you on the way." Zhang Guifang immediately patted the flour on her hands, thinking about getting up and preparing dry food for her son.

Lao Tu and Fu Ke are already almost eating the peanuts, so there is no need to step on them again, there is no point.

History has repeatedly told us that kindness to our enemies is cruelty to ourselves!
Are there too many people who, despite constant interruptions and allowing people a way out, end up being overturned by headwinds?

Not only has the grain ration been reduced these days, but the flour supplied by grain stores has also changed from eighty-five flour to ninety flour.

When Wang Jingwen came back from get off work, everything was ready, so she washed her hands and started making dumplings.

Tang Zhitong picked out the smallest pumpkin from the pumpkins he brought back yesterday, peeled and removed the flesh, then took out a tool called "souzi" and began to grate the pumpkin.

Souzi is a local name. This one from the Tang family is old. The armrests on both sides are made of bamboo chips and are covered with pulp.

Although Tang Zhitong thinks that the search is practical, he does not think that everything can be searched. At least the shredded potatoes found are not suitable for frying. The cross-section is not smooth enough and lacks soul.

Materials are in short supply. Nowadays, some people's ideas have changed. Money is not a big deal, but food is what you have ability...

"I'll give you some money later. Please be safe on the road." Wang Jingwen nodded and added.

Under the sun are the proverbial codes of conduct.

Both Zhang Guifang and Wang Jingwen were very happy that Tang Zhitong could get thirty kilograms of pumpkins.

When making dumplings, no one wants to cook them into a pot of porridge. For this reason, Zhang Guifang added four eggs when mixing the noodles, which was truly unprecedented.

The numbers in the so-called 85-year-old flour and 90-year-old flour refer to the weight of flour ground from one hundred pounds of wheat. The wheat bran in 90-year-old flour has more bran and is less sticky.

Tang Zhitong worked a full-day shift today, handling daily accounts, and spent the rest of the time reading newspapers and practicing calligraphy, focusing on comfort.

"Langfang." Tang Zhitong opened his mouth and replied. The last time he went to Qinghe, he used Langfang to block it. It was the same this time. Who allowed these two places to be on the same train line.

"Where are you going?" Although she couldn't stop her husband from going on business, Wang Jingwen still wanted to know more.

"No, I gave two classes to the trainees in the past two days. The nursing home gave me fifteen yuan for class time, which is enough." Tang Zhitong replied while rolling out the dough.

The family buys 10 meat stamps every month, totaling two kilograms. Zhang Guifang took out three meat stamps this time, which is half a kilogram of meat!

This kind of green pumpkin is an old local variety. When it is young, it has a refreshing fragrance and a lot of water. When making dumpling fillings, you need to use salt to kill the water. But when it gets old, the water will be less, the starch will be more, and the surface will be better. The noodles have a sweet taste, so Grandma Tang likes this variety very much. She has grown it for many years and harvested it at the beginning of autumn and stored it for winter consumption.

Tang Zhitong is not a virgin bitch, but he agrees with the words of Lao Kong, who is good at "convincing people with virtue": How to repay evil with kindness, how to repay kindness?

"Okay. I'll go with you on Wednesday and follow the mail truck back on Thursday." Tang Zhitong arranged his schedule clearly.

"That's okay." Zhang Guifang heard this and didn't insist anymore.

This time was no exception. Zhang Guifang suggested using one to make dumplings and saving the rest.

If Fangyuan had no backer, if he didn't have Hao Ren to help him, then probably it would be Fangyuan and himself.

After searching for the pumpkin, the next step is to use a kitchen knife to cut it horizontally a few times and cut the pumpkin into shreds, which can be used to prepare the stuffing.

After Zhang Guifang finished cooking the noodles, she neatly packed up the pumpkin peel and pulp. The peel was sprinkled directly into the chicken coop to feed the chickens. The pulp was placed on the window sill, stir-fried briefly after drying, and kept to deworm the children.

This kind of utensil was called the "magic tool for grazing silk" in later generations. It has various hole diameters and specifications. It has not only entered thousands of households, but is even used in many restaurants.

"Okay, Brother Yuan, I'll go back first." Tang Zhitong didn't waste any time. After saying hello, he left Fangyuan's office.

"Okay. Bring five or six half with you tomorrow and pay attention to safety there." Fangyuan warned, but this time he did not give Tang Zhitong his big black star.

"No, Mom, it's just two meals. I'll just buy some steamed buns from the canteen tomorrow." Tang Zhitong stopped Zhang Guifang. He wasn't going out for several days and didn't want her to be busy with work.

Thanks to repeated practice, Fengzhen and Fengzhi became better and better at making dumplings. Zhang Guifang finally no longer objected to their participation, but actively invited them to participate, which greatly improved efficiency.

Rolling out the dumpling wrappers is a technical job. Not only do you have to be fast, but you also need to have good eyesight. When you look at the person on the table who consumes the dumpling wrapper faster, you have to throw the dumpling wrappers over in time. Do not put more dumpling wrappers after they are rolled out, otherwise the adhesion will be worse.

When Wang Jingwen heard this, she muted her voice and said nothing more. Her husband had already given her several hundred yuan. It was normal for her to keep ten or eight yuan for herself to buy a pack of cigarettes. She was not the kind of person who didn't leave pocket money for her husband. money woman.

With the blessing of meat, this meal of pumpkin dumplings was more delicious than the dumplings made by escort department. Fengzhi almost caught up with Fengzhen in eating more.

Dumplings come with wine, and the more you drink, the more you drink. Tang Zhitong drank a tea bowl and two ounces of wine tonight.

After eating, seeing Fengzhi looking overstuffed, Tang Zhitong pulled his sister over and rubbed her belly for a while, rubbing in a clockwise direction along her navel.

Nowadays, there is no morphine, and hawthorn cannot be stored across seasons. Hawthorn pills need to be bought with money, so belly rubbing has become a common way for ordinary people to deal with their children after eating.

Although there are hawthorns in Tang Zhitong's space, he can't take them out because he can't explain the source, so Tang Zhitong plans to take some hawthorn pills with him when he goes to Zhang Ruojian to get some wine later, and prepare them for the four little gluttons from both sides of the family. With.

If you are a working-class family, it basically costs nothing to buy hawthorn pills from your workplace.

The status of workers these days is very high. Not only can the worker himself enjoy public medical care, but his whole family can also enjoy it, but the reimbursement rate is slightly lower. However, the work units of Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen are both administrative units, and their families cannot enjoy public medical care, so Shanzha Pill You can only purchase it at your own expense.

Before going to bed at night, Tang Zhitong hesitated and took out the half bottle of wine left in Chunshu Hutong from under the bed.

The mother-in-law loved her son-in-law so much that she not only let Wang Jingwen bring back two unopened bottles, but also let her take back the rest.

As always, these two and a half bottles of wine are made of "grass moss" and were manufactured before 55 years ago. If stored for decades, they will be high-quality financial products, of course, provided they have not been opened.

"Why are you looking for a drink?" Xiao Wang asked, lying on the bed and watching Tang Zhitong slump.

"It's a long night and I don't want to sleep. I'll have a drink tomorrow night so I can have a good night's sleep." Tang Zhitong's lies came from his mouth. The less people knew about Zhang Xinping's work, the better. Tang Zhitong had already mentioned going to Langfang. Now, It is even more impossible to tell the true purpose.

"De Xing, go to bed quickly. We have to go on a business trip tomorrow." Although Xiao Wang said this, his hand reached up sincerely.

Some things cannot be changed in the short term, such as the influence of Wang Jingwen's family of origin. To her, what Tang Zhitong just said means that no one will accompany her tomorrow.

Give me papaya and give me Qiongju in return. It's always good to be rewarded by a bandit! Early the next morning, Tang Zhitong knocked on He Peilan's door when he passed by the Flower Market Bistro on his way to work.

"Sister He, I'm sorry, knocking on the door at this hour will affect your rest, right?" Although Tang Zhitong was thinking about having a drink, he did not lack the courtesy and greetings.

"What time is it, and I still have a rest? I have to thank you for reminding me to open the door." He Peilan has the duty of a small businessman. Everyone who comes is a guest, greeting him with a smile, and responded with a smile.

"Hey, I want to buy a pound of Baiwangfen liquor. Can I lend you a bottle?" Tang Zhitong asked with a smile.

"Hey, it's not common to drink wine without a bottle." He Peilan responded with the same smile, joking, but without delay, he quickly took an empty wine bottle and drank a pound of it.

"Thank you. I left in a hurry and forgot to bring it with me. I'll bring it back to you tomorrow." Tang Zhitong agreed as he watched He Peilan skillfully drink.

"Don't worry, just give it to me when you have time." In front of Tang Zhitong, He Peilan poured in an extra kilo of wine.

Every family has its own laws, and every business has its own rules. Currently, there are few bottled products, and most of them are bulk wine and bulk oil. According to the ethics of the older generation of merchants, drinking oil quickly and slowly means taking care of customers, leaving a good impression on them, and allowing them to continue to take care of their business as much as possible.

Because the oil is relatively viscous, beat it tightly, that is, move faster, so that the oil hanging on the oil pipe can be returned to the customer.

The same principle applies to brewing wine. Slow brewing can reduce the hops in the wine grapes as much as possible and give more to the guests.

Nowadays, the sales channel is single. After deducting the losses specified above, the excess of slow-burning and tight-burning goes to the store. This is one of the reasons why salespersons are so popular.

"Hey, Sister He, it's too much. This is a business, but we can't take care of you like this." Tang Zhitong saw this and said politely.

He Peilan did give too much, but because it was a tight brew, the first two and a half kilograms of wine grapes contained hops, and an additional one or two ounces of wine grapes were added at the end, which gave the impression that one or two more wine grapes were given. In fact, it is less than one tael, and it is a small skill in business operations.

"It's okay. From now on, you can go to my sister's place twice more and take care of her business. Then I will have everything." He Peilan said it clearly. Her cheerful personality and cheerful tone made it impossible for anyone to feel resentful, and even It feels like a spring breeze.

"Okay, as long as I drink, I will definitely come to you." Tang Zhitong agreed happily. The same thing, the service here is good, and the same money is spent, so naturally I will go here first.

"That sister is looking forward to it." He Peilan quickly plugged the wine bottle with the leather stopper and handed it to Tang Zhitong.

"Just hold it up, I'll definitely come. Sister He, how much is it?" Tang Zhitong took the bottle, put it in his bag, and paid for it.

"One dollar and thirty-seven cents." He Peilan quoted.

"Sister He, isn't this right? No deposit required for wine bottles?" Tang Zhitong asked while counting the money.

"My neighbor on the street, what kind of deposit do you need? How can I not trust you, brother?" He Peilan replied with a smile.

"Okay, thank you, Sister He. Please order." The wine bottle is not worth a few dollars, but this trust and kindness make people feel more comfortable.

"Just right. Come back next time." He Peilan counted the money, put it in the drawer, and said goodbye to Tang Zhitong with a smile.

"Don't worry, we will definitely come again." Tang Zhitong and He Peilan waved their hands and left.

Tang Zhitong drank Erguotou. This loose wine has the same flavor as the bottled wine, but the price is 15 cents cheaper. 15 cents can buy a pound of stick noodles. As long as you drink at your own expense, there is no reason not to come.

It's a shameful thing to go through the back door these days, so if you don't have a drink in front of your colleagues in the Escort Department, Tang Zhitong threw the newly bought wine and half a bottle of Maozi into the empty space, then got on his bicycle and went straight to the Escort Department.

After arriving in Core, Tang Zhitong first went to Gao Lide to buy steamed buns.

There were definitely no new steamed buns. There were still a lot of leftover steamed buns from yesterday. Tang Zhitong bought ten of them, wrapped them in newspaper and put them in his bag.

The steamed buns are not afraid of being seen. After all, you need to eat while traveling in the car, which is within common sense.

Tang Zhitong went back to the office to fill a bottle of water, went to Fangyuan to get five or six half, and then went to the platform, thinking about helping to load the mail parcel.

Wu Fengnian was still in charge of the escort route from Sijiucheng to Shanhaiguan. They were all old acquaintances, and because Tang Zhitong was the first to grow pumpkins, Wu Fengnian didn't let Tang Zhitong get started.

Not only did Tang Zhitong not get involved in the escort department, but Wu Fengnian also didn't let Tang Zhitong help with loading and unloading the parcels along the way.

The way working people express their gratitude is so simple and unpretentious...

Arriving at Chadian Station, Tang Zhitong said goodbye to Wu Fengnian, got off the bus, and walked to the Public Security Bureau here.

When he was approaching the branch, Tang Zhitong took out a sack from the space, which contained two pig heads and a flour bag.

The flour bag contained ten kilograms of white flour, all of which Wu Haiyang helped coordinate at the construction site. Serious 85-year-old flour is now difficult to buy on the market.

The last time Tang Zhitong came here, Zhang Xinping served him steamed buns and said that there was a shortage of white noodles here. Tang Zhitong took it to heart. Since he was asking for help, he must do what he wanted.

Tang Zhitong carried five or six bags on his back and a sack, and successfully entered the branch after showing his work ID.

"Hey, Teacher Tang, you're a rare visitor, sit down quickly." Zhang Xinping was somewhat surprised when he saw Tang Zhitong, but he was as enthusiastic as ever.

"Captain Zhang, I remembered what you said last time and came here to ask for help." Zhang Xinping was in an office by himself. Seeing that there was no one else around, Tang Zhitong didn't hide it and directly stated his purpose.

"Mr. Tang, are you taking care of it or focusing on it?" Zhang Xinping was a real person. He took Tang Zhitong's sack, opened it and took a look. It was all rare stuff, so he asked.

"Of course it's key care. If someone in my family comes to you, I won't be able to do this job." Everyone is understanding. Tang Zhitong understood the difference between "care" and "key care". He is taking care of himself. people.

"Teacher Tang, I'm not talking to you. If you want to focus on taking care of someone, it's a little more involved. After all, it's not my direct responsibility. I have to ask clearly who you want to focus on taking care of. Otherwise, it won't be easy for me to take care of. "Although Zhang Xinping was very greedy, in line with the principle of collecting things and doing things, he still made it clear to Tang Zhitong.

"Team Zhang is open!" Tang Zhitong gave Zhang Xinping a thumbs up. Zhang Xinping's attitude was very clear. If he can do it, he will accept it; if he can't, he will not accept it. The bottom line is clear.

Next, Tang Zhitong told Zhang Xinping the whole story.

"Hey, these two are harmful to others and not self-serving. If you treat others as dogs, you will have the consciousness of being eaten as dog meat. The conditions are limited, Teacher Tang, don't dislike it." After listening to this, Zhang Xinping squeezed some tea foam and made Tang Zhitong a cup. Tea.

"Look what Captain Zhang said, as long as you pour it, the boiled water will taste sweet to me." Of course Tang Zhitong would not choose. Although the control level of tea was lowered a while ago and became a second-class material, the supply has been reduced. Still hard to buy.

"Mr. Tang, please sit here for a while. I'll ask someone first to find out." Zhang Xinping chuckled, handed Tang Zhitong a cigarette, walked out of the office, and went to verify.

Tang Zhitong lit a cigarette by himself, drank tea, and waited patiently to take it.

The taste of high-foam tea is no different from that of regular tea, but it is easy to put residue in your mouth when you drink it, which affects the taste.

Tang Zhitong finished a cup of tea before Zhang Xinping came back.

"Teacher Tang, let me ask clearly, this matter can be done! The fat girl has been there for five years and the skinny one for three years. The family has drawn a clear line with them. How far do you want to go?" After Zhang Xinping came back, He asked in a low voice, looking confident.

"More difficult, add more intensity. Captain Zhang, look at these two pig heads, how peaceful they are walking away. We can't let people like this be so comfortable. They're not here to provide for old age, right?" Tang Zhitong opened the sack, revealing two peaceful ones. Pig Head, said.

"Understood! We must do something better!" Zhang Xinping nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Another person who, at best, knows how to talk!
After the matter was settled, Tang Zhitong said no more. Instead, he took out a bottle and a half of wine from his bag and said to Zhang Xinping: "Captain Zhang, I need to trouble you to find a place for me to rest. I'll do it tonight." Dong, please have a drink."

"Hey, this wine is good, I have to thank you for that. Let's go to the same place as last time, I will arrange it." Zhang Xinping's eyes lit up when he saw Mao Zi, and he waved his hands.

"It's a pity that this is only half a bottle. I got it from the elders. When we have the opportunity in the future, we will all drink this." Tang Zhitong stuffed the wine back into his bag again. He said this on purpose, to reveal a little about himself to Zhang Xinping. There is also some background, which saves him from paying attention to things.

"I take this seriously. I believe in Teacher Tang. Lao Cheng and I are brothers in life and death. When I saw him off, he told me everything. Without your help, it would have been impossible to accomplish his affairs." Zhang Xinping understood the implication of Tang Zhitong's words and understood it thoroughly. The implication was that no one was an outsider.

"Hey, Brother Cheng has received the award. You need to be strong in order to forge iron. First of all, Brother Cheng's achievements are remarkable and he has been recognized by his superiors. My reassurance played a negligible role." Tang Zhitong did not deny it, but also No pride in taking credit.

"Hahaha, Teacher Tang is humble enough." Zhang Xinping is a sensible person. Tang Zhitong's role may not have been that big, otherwise Cheng Hai's job transfer would not have lasted so long. But without Tang Zhitong's words, Cheng Hai would not have been able to change his job at all. There won't be a chance.

The two briefly discussed the work transfer in Chenghai, chatted about miscellaneous things on the farm, and soon arrived at the guest house.

Zhang Xinping made arrangements for Tang Zhitong and said he would come back after get off work before going back to work.

Tang Zhitong understood what Zhang Xinping meant, which was to drink and chat in the room at night...

Tang Zhitong slept for a while, then tidied the bed a little when he got up, and waited for Zhang Xinping to come to the door.

Zhang Xinping brought two dishes with him when he came, and the two brothers ate the dishes and drank wine. There was more content to talk about this time, and Tang Zhitong also had his eyes opened with a knife.

Times are tough inside.
