Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 67 The Golden Thread Carp

As for machine tools and the like, Gu Siwei is not willing to do it now, because this stuff is bitter. Isn’t there a saying in the future, no matter what kind of work my mother does, I don’t want my children to work in this industry again, except for civil servants.

When relying on it to make money, Gu Siwei naturally loved it in every possible way. Without it, he would not be able to eat. Naturally, he must love it. Now Lao Gu doesn’t look like a person who can’t eat, so he doesn’t care so much about the machine. , As for who to fight for for 100 years, why to make contributions, etc., don't expect Thaksin from people like Lao Gu.

For a guy like Lao Gu who has been vomited by countless cakes drawn by later generations, he will not believe anything you say except money.

After staying with the silly apprentice for a while, Gu Siwei left the workshop.

After coming here a few times, the guard now knows Gu Siwei, so Gu Siwei was released after a simple inspection.

Although I have been here many times, Gu Siwei is still a little resistant to the body search, but now it is the same when going in and out, important units.

After leaving the factory, Gu Siwei was going to join Sicui and Hu Yanqiu.

When I arrived at the place just now, I found that the two of them were no longer here, so Gu Siwei decided to go to the private small vegetable market first, and then wait for them to cook.

Walking with small eight-character steps and humming a little tune, Gu Siwei's mood is really good and couldn't be better. This era gives Gu Siwei the feeling that it is slow, and the pace of life is slow. Everyone seems to be living in a leisurely manner. There is no sense of rushing like later generations.

Walking on the road, from time to time, I would hear the two greet each other, such as Big Brother Sun, Brother Liu, Sister Zhang, Big Sister Xu and so on.

Most of the acquaintances will stop and chat with each other, talk about the news of Zhang's parents and Li's family, and even the freshness of the cucumber thorns in your basket can make the two women come out for ten minutes.

Gu Siwei enjoys this kind of life, enjoys this kind of slow life, and also enjoys the calmness and serenity of walking quietly like the fine sand in his hands.

Feeling what he wanted, he didn't know the time, he didn't know the distance, and he had almost no feeling, so Gu Siwei came to the hillside outside the factory area.

Standing on the road, you can see the piles of human heads in the woods on the hillside.

Gu Siwei went up the slope and joined the crowd picking vegetables.

After looking around for half a circle, Gu Siwei only had a bundle of leeks in his hand, very fresh little leeks, the aunt who sold the vegetables was a hardworking person, and they were cleaned, and there was no need to wash them at home, just wipe the leek roots Wipe it off, wash off the mud on it, and then scoop up the water twice, then you can cut it into a pan and fry it.

Small leeks have a strong fragrance, and when compared to scrambled eggs, the taste is called positive. In Gu Siwei’s era, most of the vegetables sold in the vegetable market were large leeks, with big leaves and thick stems, which looked very beautiful, but the taste of eating them At this time, the taste of leeks will be light.

Leeks and eggs count as one plate, and Gu Siwei decided to find two more vegetables.

It's not that Gu Siwei is stingy and reluctant to buy meat and vegetables, but he knows that he doesn't need to worry about buying meat and vegetables at all, and Hu Yanqiu and his group must have prepared it properly.

There is no one in this era who is not good at meat. As for Gu Siwei, after eating meat a few times, he feels balanced, and he can even have no meat.

Turning around again, there is a handful of small bitter greens in my hand. The greens are slightly bitter. They belong to the local small green vegetables. The flowers are small, about the size of the palm of your hand. Children are lying on the ground.

Gu Siwei likes it better, and likes to use it to fry thousands of sheets.

After finishing the two vegetarian dishes, Gu Siwei was ready to go back to find someone. He just walked out with his things, and before he returned to the road, he saw a little boy who was about five or six years old sitting on the ground by the side of the road. Old wooden basin.

Originally, little babies were not very attractive, but there were too many of them, with a snotty nose, half of the face was covered with snot skin, and the other half of the face was covered with black dirty mud.

Let Gu Siwei take a second look, such a big kid is actually wearing crotch pants, and the crotch is almost open to the calf.

Gu Siwei also understands why he wears it like this. The family conditions are not good, so what else can he have? His parents can't follow the fashion. It is estimated that his parents don't even know what fashion is, so where to catch up.

Just as he was about to look away from the baby, Gu Siwei was attracted by the things in the basin after just a glance.

There are two fish in the basin, they look a bit like carps, but they are not completely like them. They have the whiskers of carps and the appearance of carps, but there are two obvious gold lines on their bodies from the forehead to the tail. The back above the gold lines is Black, from below the gold line to the belly, from earthy to pale yellow.

"Little guy, is this fish for sale?"

Gu Siwei squatted down.

The little guy was a little shy, and when he heard Gu Siwei asking the price, he stared at Gu Siwei in a daze, without uttering a word for a long time.

"Mom, someone bought our fish!"

Gu Siwei was almost taken aback by a sudden slur. Gu Siwei never thought that such a big child would have a donkey's scorpion.

"Come on, come on!"

The answering voice is not weak.

When Gu Siwei glanced in the direction of the sound, he saw a disheveled woman coming out of the woods, wearing her belt while walking, no need to ask, it must be convenient to go somewhere with this appearance went.

"Tong Zi (Zhi), do you want to buy fish?"

The woman returned to Potzi with trot, looked at Gu Siwei and asked expectantly.

Gu Siwei said, "How did you sell this?"

"Forty cents a catty, if you want two, then thirty cents a catty, plus two catties of food stamps will be enough. It's not that I sell it expensive, but this is golden thread carp, and the taste is first-class. It’s much tastier than ordinary carp, you’ll know when you buy it and make it again…”

Gu Siwei just asked a question here, and the woman spoke a long series of words incessantly.

Gu Siwei could see that the woman wanted to sell the fish very much, and was pushing her fish to herself with her unskilled salesmanship.

One good thing about buying things at this time is that you will hardly encounter behaviors that ask for prices, and there are no people who are short of money. Most of the transactions are on the surface.

"Little brother, this fish is a good fish. It's a pity that people here don't recognize it."

An old man about two meters away from the side helped.

After hearing this, the woman said again: "Yes, people here don't eat carp very much, unlike our hometown, where carp is a treat and the first dish."

Although the workers on the factory side come from all over the world, most of them are from the south. Southerners don't like to eat carp very much, so the woman's carp is not very easy to sell.

Gu Siwei thought for a while, then nodded: "I want both fish."

When the woman heard this, she immediately raised her hand happily and wiped her nose with her sleeve, then grinned and began to take out the grass next to the basin, quickly tied a straw rope, and then moved the two fish from the carp to the mouth dressed up.

Ask the old man next to him to borrow a scale, weigh the two fish for Gu Siwei, and let the old man do the math.

Gu Siwei gave the money, took the fish in his hand and went down the slope, walked to a place where there were no people, entered the space, found a basin, put the fish in it, and added a little ordinary water.

Naturally, one has to eat live fish to eat fish, and it's not without that condition!
So Gu Siwei decided to raise the fish first, and then take it out for cooking later. If he can't eat it today, he can eat it by himself when he goes home.

After leaving the space, he walked towards the stronghold of several people along the concrete road.

The so-called stronghold is nothing more than a small one-room house, not a one-room house, but a tube building. What does it look like? A house with corridors at the entrance and stairs at both ends. About five rooms. Anyone who has lived in the family area of ​​the factory should have an impression.

A room stretches as far as the eye can see. There is no bathroom or kitchen. The kitchens have briquette stoves at the door, and the bathrooms are also at the two ends of the building. When it comes to busy work, a row of people squats neatly, pulling The kind who smokes while smoking shit and chats casually.

As for the partition, there is no partition at all. Who cares about privacy at this time.

The house is the dormitory of Hu Yanqiu's elder brother Hu Yanming. Don't underestimate such a big house.

At this time, a house like this can be used as a wedding room.

Hu Yanming divided the house, but he only came to live in it when he was on the Changbai shift. He usually went home to live in the Changbai shift because he could eat at home.

And this month, Hu Yanming worked the night shift for a month consecutively, so Hu Yanqiu took this house over and used it as a place for cooking.

Carrying two bundles of vegetables in his hand, when he arrived at the place, Gu Siwei saw Hu Yanqiu with Sicui, and 11-year-old Hu Yanping was choosing vegetables and washing meat.

"When did you come back?" Gu Siwei asked casually.

Hu Yanqiu said: "We just came back not long ago, let's see, is this meat okay?"

Hu Yanqiu said, picked up the meat in his hand, and showed it to Gu Siwei.

Seeing the meat, Gu Siwei shook his head in his heart. There is no way, people like to eat fat now, so [-]% of the meat in Hu Yanqiu's hands is fat meat, and [-]% is lean meat, which really makes Gu Siwei not like it.

However, Gu Siwei didn't bother with these things, anyway, just roll up your sleeves if you have meat and vegetables.

As soon as Gu Siwei made a move here, the whole corridor was full of fragrance, which can be regarded as spoiling the people around him, but these people didn't know Gu Siwei, nor did they know Hu Yanqiu, and Hu Yanming was not around, so no one would Live Cengfan with a shy face.

One must know that eating a meal of meat these days is not a small matter, and most people are too embarrassed to come here, so this meal is considered safe.

After eating, Gu Siwei put down the bowl and took Si Cui to continue shopping. As for the rest, Hu Yanqiu and Qiao Yi were naturally responsible.

After shopping around three o'clock, I bought some food for Si Cui, and Gu Siwei and his sister went home.
