Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 19 Buy Buy Buy

There are many things in the back kitchen, but they are busy and not chaotic.
Pots of vegetables were carried to the front vegetable processing area,
There is also a stack of white flour steamed buns in a steamer, and a stack of steamed buns with stick noodles.

In the distance came the ringing of the off-duty bell,
One after another, workers walked into the cafeteria,

Most of them are wearing blue overalls,

There are more and more people, and there are several long queues.

All the fried dishes made by Shazhu were sent out by the back door by Mahua.

It seems that the nearest few houses are single rooms with large round tables.

Perhaps this is where the leaders of the rolling mill receive reception.

After finishing his work, Ma Hua sat beside Yi Weidong and said:

"Thanks to you, Master will cook for us at noon today."

Yi Weidong said in a low voice:
"I still have some fish left in the field. I'll ask my brother to bring you two tomorrow."

Ma Hua's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "How dare you take your fish!"

"It's not like seeing outsiders, you're not an outsider." Yi Weidong said.

Ma Hua's attitude became more enthusiastic.

Wait until most of the front workers have finished eating,

The chefs in the back kitchen and a few aunts who do chores can prepare meals.

Shazhu fried two more dishes and divided them into four plates.

An aunt quickly brought out the reserved meals,
There are two tables in the lobby.

Sure enough, the cook is never hungry,

They all reserved their own meals first,
Take it out and call the staff.

The aunt who washes and washes makes a table,
The chef headed by Shazhu sat at the table,
The dishes on both sides are the same.

It's just that there are too many people to sit at one table.

By this point, everyone is hungry,

A white flour steamed bun to eat,
We just started talking and eating.

After lunch, Yi Weidong wanted to help clean up,

Ma Hua pulled and said:

"There are so many aunts here, how can I ask you to reach out."

After returning to the kitchen, it didn't take long,
Director Fan walked in and said:
"Silly Zhu and Yi Weidong, come here."

Sha Zhu and Yi Weidong walked out.

"This silly cousin is really capable. He got more than 300 catties of fish."

"Yeah, I don't look too old!"

"Why, do you want to recruit a son-in-law?"

"I want to recruit, and I can get more than 90 at once, which is equivalent to my three months' salary."

"Just your girl? Can people see it?"

"See if I don't tear up your stinky mouth."

Yi Weidong followed Sha Zhu into Director Fan's office.

Silly Zhu stepped forward and picked up the work clothes on the office, and said:
"Director Fan, you really kept your word this time."

After speaking, let Yi Weidong try it on.

Director Fan scolded with a smile:

"Even if you have clothes, you can't stop your mouth, only that one time it didn't work for you, and you kept talking about it every day."

Yi Weidong tried it on,
The clothes are a little fatter, but they are too thin now,
It should be fine in a while.

Director Fan handed over a form and asked:
"Can you write your name?"

"Can write." Yi Weidong picked up the pen on the table,
Sign Yi Weidong at the bottom.

Director Fan put it away and looked at the thin Yi Weidong and said:
"I didn't expect your handwriting to be so good, it's a pity."

I don't know what is wrong with Director Fan,
Next year these intellectuals will start to have a hard time.
I can say that I am illiterate when the time comes,

Anyway, I never went to school in Beijing.

Director Fan took out a bundle of money from the drawer,
Handed it to Yi Weidong and said:

"You count."

Nine pieces of ten yuan and a few ten-dollar bills,
There are 5 cent coins at the end.

It was exactly 90 yuan and seventy-five cents.

Yi Weidong asked: "Director Fan, will you still collect fish in the future?"

"Accept, of course I accept."

Director Fan paused, then said:
"It's almost eleven, when you're on the 29th or 30th,
Send it again, and let the workers eat fish nuggets once during the National Day. "

Yi Weidong said:
"Okay, Director Fan, I'll bring it over then. I won't disturb your work."

Walking out of the office, Sha Zhu pulled Yi Weidong aside,
He stuffed the work clothes in Yi Weidong's hands and asked:

"Are you playing here, wait for me to go back together, or go home first?"

Yi Weidong said in a low voice:

"I still left some fish in a small puddle, so I went back first."

"Alright, then you go back first! Don't let anyone pick it up." Silly Zhu said.

"Brother, I'll go first."

Yi Weidong waiting here is almost like someone in jail,
How can I have this spare time to wait for silly Zhu to go home together.

fish are in space,

Walk together, also can't take it out.

halfway through,
Come on, where is the toilet in this rolling mill?
See there is no one around here,

Or find a corner to drain the water,

Turn sideways to the back of a house,
Seeing that the surrounding area is relatively empty, I am moving forward, turning a corner,
I didn't expect to see a man and a woman sticking together just after turning the corner.

Not far away, all wearing blue overalls from the rolling mill.

The man faced Yi Weidong's direction,
Seeing Yi Weidong, he quickly turned around and ran away with the woman.

The girl never showed her face,

But why does Yi Weidong look so familiar with this back?
Forget it, it's still important to turn on the water.

Yi Weidong trembled for a while,
This is the happiest thing in the world.

Comfortable,

Yi Weidong put on his belt,

Is this time to buy a belt?

Thinking that there are already 130 yuan in banknotes in my waist,
Instantly I had the urge to go shopping.

He walked briskly out of the rolling mill.

Turn to the Red Star Commune.

Who made the banknotes
You dominate the world

Someone sells your son or daughter for you

Someone goes to jail for you

A banknote, a pair of shackles
No one can do without you

Qian, you are a knife that kills without blood
Why are the lyrics out of place?do not care,
Grandpa made money today,

Drink a bowl of soy milk, pour a bowl.

When he came to the commune, reality poured cold water on Yi Weidong,
No ticket.

The tickets at home are all lying in the drawer!

Yi Weidong has just been here for two days,
How dare you put all the tickets in the space?

I have a lot of money, but I don't have a ticket!
Come here, let's go in and ask why you don't need a ticket!
Entered the supply and marketing cooperative of the commune,
Why do supply and marketing cooperatives come in with the same pattern?

The same wooden glass counters and shelves,
There is also a cement counter,
At one end is a large vat or jar of soy sauce, vinegar, loose wine and vegetable oil.

After turning around, there is no desire to buy.
You need a ticket to buy wool, and you need a ticket to buy a gauze scarf.
In the end, I bought some hair ropes, rubber bands, needles and threads that don't require tickets.

I bought a bunch of them and only spent more than forty cents.

This money can't be spent.

I bought a few more pencils, erasers, knives, notebooks, a thicker notepad,
When you go back, you have to put on a show, and there is a saying about knowing Chinese characters in the future.

Pencils only cost 3 cents each, which is really cheap.

Forget it, the supply and marketing cooperative has nothing to do with me.

When you get out, put everything in your satchel.

It was already afternoon, and there was no one on the street.

When I got to the meat stand, all the things I bought were sent into the space.

There was only one empty satchel left.

The meat was all gone, only some bones and six trotters remained.

Yes, it's the bone, the kind where you can't find any meat.

I can only make soup when I buy it back.

Don't people eat pig's trotters at this time?
It’s also delicious to cook!
The chubby butcher stall owner saw Yi Weidong standing in front of the stall, and asked with a smile:

"Do you want pig's trotters? There are also high-quality stick bones, no tickets."

"How did you sell it?" Yi Weidong asked.

"Pig trotters cost 6 cents a piece, and if you want the bones, they cost 5 cents a catty."

To strengthen his persuasiveness, the boss added:
"After cooking, sell it to the buying station, and you can still sell it for a cent and a catty!"

"I want all the trotters, can the bones be cheaper?" Yi Weidong asked.

"If it hadn't been this afternoon, I wouldn't have sold it at this price. It really couldn't be cheaper," said the boss.

"I don't have anything to pack, how can I get it. I don't want any bones."
