I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 210, Soaking Honey in Water

In the meeting room, Yang Yongsheng and other big bosses arrived one after another, not much later than many years.

Ji Chungeng also came over, followed by Dean Shen and other leaders, and the meeting officially began.

Throughout the afternoon, I spent many years in the conference room, listening to the discussions of the bigwigs.

For his part, he made no comment at all, because there was no chance.

Everyone is spitting stars flying all over the sky, and the discussion is very intense. How can there be room for many years to play?
Besides, he is humble and light-spoken, and what he says has no weight.

Many of the people present were engineers above level [-], almost all of them were at the boss level, and they were only level [-] engineers for many years.

What's more, he has only been employed for less than two months.

The meeting finally came to an end as it approached the end of get off work time.

In the afternoon when I didn't touch fish, I felt that I was finally worthy of this salary for many years.

Well, half of it.

The other half is left because he didn't contribute any value this afternoon.

After leaving the meeting room, he went back to the office and went to the security department when he saw that there was nothing to do.

In the open space in front of the office of the security department, a group of people were booing.

In the middle of the arena, Qin Minghui was crying and doing push-ups, his arms trembling very badly.

The clothes given to this kid at noon were completely soaked.

The upper body is bare, and there are several obvious red wounds on the back. Is that Battelle's masterpiece?
Seeing this scene, many years suddenly smiled with satisfaction.

This kid really deserves it.

For many years did not bother or interfere with these, but turned and went home.

After arriving home, San Xiaozhi and Xu Wumei were helping in the kitchen or living room.

It's just that they were all drooling and staring at Qin Huairu packing the food into the lunch box.

The meal at noon left Qin Huairu dumbfounded, and at the same time, he also understood why he would say that he had prepared a meal for five people in the morning for many years.

Because Battelle alone can kill two people.

Even so, Qin Huairu still didn't know that the meal for the two of them was just Battelle's appetizer.

If it weren't for the many meat dishes in the lunch at noon, Battelle wouldn't be able to eat one-third of his full meal at all.

Therefore, you must make more whole grains for dinner.

Think of it as feeding pigs.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt prepared a lot of food, who is it for?"

Seeing her third uncle, Xu Xiaoqian asked curiously.

"For outsiders, don't inquire about it, and do what you should do."

After patting the little guy's head, he took the lunch box from Qin Huairu for many years and went out with it.

There is no way to deliver food to Battelle and the others.

You can't let them come to eat at home, can you?

According to the temperament of these neighbors, there might be some gossips coming out the next day.

When he came to Huguo Temple, Battelle's house, Qin Minghui happened to be panting heavily at the door.

Seeing many years coming in, Battelle cast his eyes on the lunch box in the former's hand.

"Old Xu, what's for dinner tonight?"

"See for yourself."

Putting the lunch box on the table, looking at Qin Minghui for many years, he said, "Does that kid still dare to shoot stabs now?"

Battelle curled his lips, "Give him ten guts, and he won't even dare. Do you really think I'm made of mud?"

Immediately, he took out all his food books, food coupons, money, etc., and at the same time went to the house to take out the game that he had hunted in the mountains a few days ago.

In fact, according to this kid's personality, any meat must be exhausted immediately.

However, during the two days of the National Day, he also hunted about a hundred catties of meat, and yesterday he promised for many years.

Therefore, the meat at home was not touched.

Helping here for many years, he saved himself from cooking or eating out, and felt more comfortable.

For many years, he was not polite, took the other party's food and other things, turned around and went out.

He went directly to the grain store near Battelle's house and bought all the grain in the grain book.

Then strapped to the back seat of the car and rode home.

When I buy food these days, there are no photos on it, including the food book, work card, and household registration book.

Since there are no photos, it is much easier to buy food.

With food books, food stamps and money, you can buy food.

The reason why I didn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative was because I was afraid of encountering Battelle's acquaintances, and it would be difficult to explain.

The grain store is a little better, and others don't care that much.

Back in the courtyard, Aunt Yan's family in the front yard, and Aunt Wang and others who were chatting at the entrance of the hallway, couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw that many years had come back with full rewards.

For several days in a row, for many years, I have been pulling food from the outside to my home. Isn't this too rich?

The few houses in the front yard are basically living on their own food, and there is not much food in the family.

It used to be considered as the old Xu family, but now it is not considered the old Xu family.

Because Lao Xu's family has become more well-off after the separation. In the past, they ate meat once a week or half a month.

Now the old Xu's family can eat meat every three to five days, or one or two days, or several days in a row.

This standard of living is on par with the backyard.

Because the nearest backyard, Xu Damao's house, Liu Haizhong's house, etc., basically eat meat every day.

Aunt Yan and others, who had no meat or food, were naturally very surprised by the action of pulling food for many years.

However, I haven't chatted with these neighbors for many years, just went in after a few polite words.

Of course, he also explained why there is so much food.

As for whether these neighbors believe it or not, that is not within the scope of his consideration.

As long as he doesn't come to trouble him, then he will be happy to live in peace with these neighbors.

The matter about Qin Minghui is basically settled now.

In the next few days, there was no way to touch fish for many years. Almost every day, either in the morning or in the afternoon, I had to hold meetings with the bosses.

And every meeting lasts three to four hours, basically there is no time to go to the bathroom.

After many years of busy work, at the rolling mill, Old Xu almost collapsed.

Originally, An Nianyun was supervising the work of their father and son, and Lao Xu had already accepted his fate.

Anyway, if the technology can still improve, then I will not resist, let alone make a sound.

Just work hard.

However, my stomach, which has been smooth for a few days, started to rebel again today.

I went to the public toilet five or six times in one morning, and each time lasted more than 10 minutes.

Even so, there were still workers sent by An Nianyun shouting outside.

Even, for the last time in the morning, An Nianyun actually came outside the men's room to call for someone.

At that time, Lao Xu in the toilet had an old face that looked like a macaque's butt, glowing red.

The other workers in the toilet were also watching the joke.

Only An Nianyun was as immovable as a mountain, and he was not afraid of these things at all.

It seems that she has already understood a sentence: As long as I don't feel embarrassed, it must be someone else who is embarrassed.

At noon, this incident reached the ears of the leaders.

At that time, the leader asked An Nianyun to inquire, and asked her to pay attention to the influence.

In addition, the leader also called Lao Xu to the office to talk for a while.

After coming out of the leader's office, Old Xu went to the infirmary.

The doctor in the infirmary made a few simple examinations and inquiries, and then asked Lao Xu to continue drinking the herbal tea that had been used to defeat the fire.

Hearing this sentence, Lao Xu himself also breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he returned to the first workshop, An Nianyun stopped him again, asking if he was seriously ill?
Old Xu was suddenly out of breath, and snorted coldly, "I'm not sick, you're sick!"

Let Lao Xu talk like this, which shows how angry he is.

In fact, it's quite normal, being asked like a curse is the same as asking if he is dying, it's strange that he has a good face.

An Nianyun was not used to Xu Shugen either, and said coldly:
"It's good if you're not sick, hurry back to work, remember your task today!"

"Hmph, I don't need to remind you, I will finish it myself!" Old Xu returned to his work station angrily and started to work.

It's really too much!
The workers next to him also knew that Lao Xu was not sick, but just angry.

Although it took a long time to get angry, everyone can understand, who is not a foreign worker?

In the early morning of this day, many years went to run and dove market as usual.

In recent days, the pigeon market has recovered slightly, but it is also limited.

It is estimated that the grain trade in Pigeon City will not come up until after the 25th of this month.

However, the closer it is around the 25th, the stricter the grasp.

After all, everyone knows that the 25th is a day when many people buy food, and the armband team that patrols at night must know it too.

Therefore, everyone is taking risks and working hard to make a living.

A catty of flour costs 18 cents, 180 catties is [-] cents, [-] catties is [-] yuan, and [-] catties is only [-] yuan.

The more than 1000 yuan that was exchanged many years ago has now been exchanged for three to four thousand catties of coarse and fine grains, as well as some meat, Chinese medicinal materials, and so on.

But he still has three or four hundred yuan in his hand.

Without food, the RMB in his hand is equivalent to waste paper.

After all, if you go to a grain store or a supply and marketing cooperative to buy grain, you need a grain book.

Since he still has money in his hand, he will not continue to exchange US dollar bills.

Because in recent days, the price of US dollar bills has increased by another dollar.

After asking many second-hand dealers, it took many years to guess that it should be people like Wu Jieping who need to go abroad who are trying their best to buy US dollars to cause the price increase.

Because most people don’t need US dollars, and those who have US dollars are basically the money left before the founding of the country.

Knowing that the U.S. dollar is still rising in price, he remembered what Wu Jieping had said to him many years ago.

That is, Wu Jieping and the others will leave the capital at the end of October, so they will continue to pay US dollars.

Now the beginning of October is almost over, and it will be the middle of the month soon.

This means that there is not much time left for Wu Jieping and the others to buy US dollars.

In Xizhimen Pigeon Market, I walked in again after many years.

I saw an old man carrying two baskets and an eight or nine-year-old child in front of me, and immediately asked:

"Comrade, do you have food in this basket? What's the price? I want it!"

There is a big difference between the food outside the city and the food inside the city.

The grains sold by grain stores and supply and marketing cooperatives are basically processed grains, such as flour, cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, etc.

Most of the food outside the city may be sweet potatoes, wheat, etc., which have not been roughly processed.

Therefore, there will be two different prices here. After all, rough-processed grains and non-rough-processed grains are completely different.

The old man was startled, and after seeing that it was not an armband team for many years, he breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"There is honey in the basket, and there are some hares, wild birds and some mushrooms. Comrade, do you need it?"

When he said this, the old man had been watching carefully for many years.

Because mountain goods are not worth much, honey is indeed a very good thing, because it is sugar.

But he sold a bit too much honey this time, and he didn't want to sell it separately.

The reason is also very simple, it has been reported before.

Jealous!
About 19 catties of honey, not to mention the price of white sugar at [-] cents per catty, even if it is sold at the price of brown sugar at [-] cents per catty, it is [-] yuan and [-] cents.

This amount of money is a huge sum of money for the city people.

What's more, what about people from rural communes?
Therefore, it is normal for others to suffer from red eyes.

If they are sold separately, who knows if they will be reported again?

In case he was reported again, he would have to run away again, and he might even be caught.

Once caught, they will definitely have to go to labor camps.

Besides, the old man has nothing to do with being in the city, no one would be willing to fish him out.

Therefore, he can only determine whether it is necessary for many years, otherwise, he will not let go of the basket.

Hearing it for many years, he was surprised and broken.

"How much honey is there? Sell it all to me, I need it very much!"

Nima, I finally met Honey!
In Pigeon City before, he wanted to buy various bills, such as coal bills, oil bills, etc., and he received a lot.

Only sugar tickets, bicycle tickets, etc., are hardly available in the market.

Needless to say, bicycle tickets, the country is already short of steel and tires, so it is normal to be out of stock.

And sugar is a strictly controlled item, and even seriously, it is a military-controlled item.

Then, in the Pigeon Market, it is normal to buy less than many sugar tickets.

Since there is no sugar, you can only find sugar substitutes, honey and the like.

Moreover, compared with white sugar, which is processed and extracted in the later stage, honey is a healthier and more natural sugar, and it is easier to be absorbed by the human body.

When the old man heard this, a gleam of joy flashed across his face, Dang even came to the corner of the wall, put down the basket, and began to inspect it for many years.

The little boy behind him looked around vigilantly, acting as a sentinel.

For many years, he looked at the child cheerfully, and was soon shocked by the basket opened by the old man.

I saw that the inside of the basket was wrapped with clean bamboo leaves, and there were pieces of crystal clear honey placed inside.

Even under the dim light of the kerosene lamp in hand for many years, honey is still very beautiful.

"How many catties of honey do you have here? Are you going to sell it at the price of white sugar or brown sugar?"

Many people know the price of sugar, so it is no problem to ask this question for many years.

The honey in front of me, with a few bees on it, should be the honey picked yesterday or yesterday evening.

Pure natural sugar, I have loved it for many years.

In his previous life, he didn't have much pursuit of honey.

After all, the material life is extremely rich, and there is no need to add any additional sugar.

I even have to worry about eating too much sugar, which will lead to three highs or other symptoms such as diabetes.

But in this day and age, it is really too short of sugar.

"29 and a half catties. I weighed it when I came here. If you count the baskets, it should weigh 31 catties."

"Based on the price of brown sugar, sixty-five cents a catty, okay?"

The old man was very honest and did not continue to ask more questions for many years.

"Okay, no problem, but can you sell me this basket? I'll pay you a dime, okay?"

Bamboo woven baskets can't be sold for much. Generally speaking, they cost around [-] cents or [-] cents.

It depends on the size of the basket.

The basket in front of me has obviously been used for a while, and if it has been bid for a dime for many years, neither party will be considered a loser.

So the old man nodded, but continued to ask for many years, about the rabbits and other mountain goods in another basket.

Adding it all up, I gave the other party 25 yuan directly for many years, and took all of them.

Looking at the 25 yuan in his hand, the old man was in a trance, joyful, and then quickly put the money away carefully.

No need to ask, it must have been taken into the position he thought was the safest next to him.

The little boy's eyes were also shining, it was the first time he saw so much money.

I don't know if grandpa will give him the cakes from Guixiang Village.

After bidding farewell to the old man, I went outside the Pigeon City for many years and put all the goods in the two baskets in the space.

"When I go back next time, take out half a catty of honey, hehe, soak it in warm water and drink it, it's delicious!"

According to the records in Chinese medical books, honey soaked in water has the effects of nourishing the lungs, relieving coughs, moistening the intestines and laxatives, and can also detoxify and relieve pain.

After all, honey is a food rich in nutrients, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine for invigorating qi. Its nature and taste are sweet and flat, and it belongs to the lung meridian, spleen meridian and large intestine meridian. .

Doesn't Lao Xu have abdominal pain, constipation, etc. due to weak spleen and stomach, and taking it with honey soaked in water should be able to relieve these symptoms well.

"Well, from this point of view, half a catty may not be enough, so let's have a catty."

Thinking like this, for many years, he looked up at the sky, and then at the watch on his wrist.

It is now 05:30, and there is still more than half an hour before dawn.

keep working!

Returning to Pigeon City again, after wandering for a while for many years, I saw someone asking about US dollars.

When I listened closely, I felt that the voice was very familiar.

Then he took a closer look at the man a few meters away, just looking at the side face, and knew for many years that this guy was Wu Jieping.

Hey!
Really let me catch you.

In this case, let's exchange 100 dollar bills, and treat the other party as pity.

"Comrade, do you want to buy dollars?"

Immediately, he patted Wu Jieping on the shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Wu Jieping was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked the price, and at the same time asked how many dollars he had in his hand for many years.

For the latter question, Wu Jieping did not look forward to it.

Because these people in Pigeon City are all very shrewd, they won't reveal this information at all.
