Take the supermarket back to the times

Chapter 93
"Brother, I'm not telling lies. Ruanbao and I have been thinking about getting a leather mattress for the old lady for a long time, and this is also in time. If you guys think I take this wolf fur too much, I can Get some work points. I don't want to do anything else, I just don't want my mother to suffer too much in the winter."

Su Guoan didn't say anything, and the others were even more embarrassed to say anything else.

This wolf was originally beaten by others, and was injured. The wolf meat belongs to the brigade. He only needs the wolf skin, and he is willing to make up some work points. It is not too much to say.

"I have no objection." The brigade accountant was the first to express his opinion.

With the leader, several other people also expressed no opinion.

The final result is to give Su Jianye the wolf skin, and then ask Su Jianye to take out ten catties of cornmeal and rice. There is no need to deduct work points.

Why did you ask him to bring out ten catties of cornmeal?

There is only one wolf, which is no more than a wild boar, and there is not so much meat. If every household divides it, it will not be much.

So a few people in the brigade meant to make a big pot of dishes directly, and some potatoes, cabbage and so on would be brought out from the brigade, and it would be stewed in one pot.

Su Jianye took out ten catties of cornmeal and rice, and some grain was allocated from the brigade, and the food would be paid per head.

Su Jianye is still very satisfied with the result.

Anyway, they still have a lot of cornmeal at home. Now the family eats white noodles most of the time, and sometimes eats steamed buns with Erhe noodles. There are not many times when they just call cornmeal.

And even if it is only cornmeal, it will only be eaten with oil to fry corn tortillas, which is very fragrant.

Su Jianye grew up at the foot of the mountain, and he also learned how to nitrate animal skins since he was a child. It is not very delicate, but it is no problem for his own use.

Soak the raw hide in clean water for five or six hours to make the skin soft, then scrape off the residual meat and dirt attached to the skin, and then wash it in warm alkaline water to remove the dirt and grease until the skin is white until.

Su Jianye also sold the other two wolves, and also kept the wolf skins.

He discussed it with Grandma Su, and they tanned three wolf skins, leaving one for Su Jianguo to take away.

Whether he is using it for himself or giving it as a gift, let him go.

After the finished leather is dried in the sun, it is soaked again in water soaked in plant ash, and the dried leather is 'burned'. After the leather is dried in the shade, the leather will be soft and the hair will be strong on the leather. up.

This method is an indigenous method handed down by the older generation of masters.

Su Jianye spent the whole process of tanning the leather indoors, and it was too cold outside, so the temperature of the water for tanning the leather was also required.

Su Xiaoruan couldn't get out of the house, and couldn't even get off the kang, so she just watched this as a lesson.

There is no such thing as concentrated sulfuric acid or formic acid in the countryside these days. She watched Su Jianye use some common things at home to nitrate, and even used salt and alkali.

When Su Xiaoruan saw the finished product presented in front of her eyes, she still lamented the wisdom of the ancestors.

This kind of craftsmanship will probably not be seen in more than ten years.

In the future, people will tan leather, and it should be an industrial operation.

After the three leathers are tanned, they are sewn.

This kind of work had to be done by Zhao Hongmei, and no one else could do it.

Even Zhao Yingzi, who is ingenious and ingenious, can only fight from the sidelines.

In winter, with such a wolf mattress spread out, no matter how cold it is, you won’t suffer.

Grandma Su was so happy that she almost couldn't close her mouth.

However, I told my family again and again that I can't easily go to the mountains anymore.

Too dangerous.

In Grandma Su's opinion, how many wolf skins are not worth as much as one of her children.

A wolf mattress was spread on the half of the kang where Grandma Su slept, and the other two were put into the cabinet, planning to spread them all after Su Jianguo came back.

At that time, even if someone came to visit and saw it, they would only say that Su Jianguo brought it back. Who would dare to ask too much?
After Su Xiaoruan lay on the kang for nearly a week, her complexion finally improved a lot.

Grandma Su saw that her recovery was almost the same as before, so she let her go out.

However, it is only to go out of the house, and it is not allowed to run around outside.

Jiang Hongli didn't take their class, but she would still come back with her homework list every day, let her set homework at home, and bring it to school the next morning.

Let's not talk about whether the homework is well written, but just talk about this learning attitude, which is very popular with the teachers.

In November of the lunar calendar, it gets colder every day.

Even the small river outside the village started to freeze.

The Su family had no shortage of firewood, and the kang was burned early.

Moreover, Grandma Su didn't want her family to be wronged. During the day, the firewall in the main room basically kept burning.

On the stove with the fire wall running through it, there was a pot of water all day long.

The Su family now has two thermos bottles, which are far from enough. After all, they have a large family, but compared to other families, having two thermos bottles is already very powerful.

It’s okay for Grandma Su to be idle at home. After filling both thermos bottles, she will turn the fire down a bit, and then the water in the pot will always be hot. If someone comes back to wash their hands and face, they can just use the Mix this with some cold water, then continue to fill the pot with cold water, and keep burning it on the stove.

Because there is a fire wall, and the kitchen is also moved to the back of the main room in winter, so once you enter the door, it is warm, which is obviously several degrees higher than other people's houses.

Because the room was warm, more people came to Su's house to visit.

Originally, Grandma Su's popularity was good, but now that the house is in such a way, and it is a new house, it will naturally attract more people to come and sit.

You don't need to burn firewood yourself, you can warm up, why not do it?

The one who came the most was the third grandma.

The relationship between their sisters-in-law is good, and now they are older, and the group of people who were about the same age back then have already walked nearly half together.

Every time this is mentioned, the two of them will feel a lot of emotion in unison.

Of course, not everyone who came to visit us really had a good relationship with Grandma Su.

For example, Li Ni, the grandma who came to the ground staff recently, is not a good person.

Li Ni also married the Su family, but it was a few branches away from Su Jianye.

In terms of seniority, Li Ni was in the same generation as Grandma Su, about the same age as the third grandma, and the younger generation called her Grandma Li.

"Ouch, the moment I entered your house, I could smell the smell of meat. I said the food in your house is really good, it's worthy of being the first meal in our team."

Grandma Li gave a thumbs up while talking, but the eyes showed not only praise, but also jealousy.

Grandma Su is not stupid, how can she not know that there is something in this sentence?

I just didn't want to tear myself apart with her, so I smiled and said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense. It means that my daughter-in-law is good at cooking, and she is willing to put oil and ingredients in cooking. Otherwise, how can I cook Chinese cabbage? Does it smell like meat?"
