Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 37, Buying Grain

The next day Jiang Yan got up early in the morning, and just finished exercising in the yard when he saw Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing, Yan Bugui and several other immortals walking in with their children.

Boss, where have you been the past few days? Every time I come to see you, grandma says you are resting and don't want us to disturb you. When you wake up, I will look for you and you will go out again.As soon as he saw Jiang Yan, He Yuzhu ran over first.

That's right, boss, you haven't told us a story for several days, we all miss you.

For a while, Jiang Yan rested during the day and went out to do errands at night, but he ignored the children in the yard.

But looking at this group of children, Jiang Yan also noticed that they looked a little disheveled, especially the children from Yan Bugui's family who had just arrived were even more disheveled.

The family circumstances of all the families in this courtyard are also divided into three, six, and nine grades.

Apart from my own family, the He family, the Yi family and the Xu family lived the best lives.

He Daqing is not bragging, his Tanjia cuisine is indeed unique, and Jiang Yan, who has tasted many delicacies in later generations, will give a thumbs up after eating it.

Jiang Yan even invited He Daqing to cook Tan's family dishes every now and then in the name of treating others to dinner.Of course, most of these dishes were received by Jiang Yan in the space.

The cooking methods of Tan’s cuisine are mainly roasting, stewing, simmering, leaning, and steaming. Tan’s cuisine is “good at making dry goods” and “good at cooking eight delicacies in high soup and old fire”.

After knowing this, Jiang Yan asked He Daqing to boil a lot of broth. The back kitchen on the second floor of the small building in Jiang Yan's space stored a lot of broth in the kitchen.

Jiang Yan has also experimented, adding some of this kind of broth when cooking, even ordinary cooking is extremely delicious and nutritious.

Although He Daqing didn't work in a regular restaurant, he was usually called for weddings and funerals in the vicinity, and Jiang Yan could see him from time to time with a few lunch boxes left for tooth sacrifices.It can be said that life is still very good, counting as the number one person in this courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai is a fitter who works in Lou's Gang Factory with a good salary. There are only him and his wife in the family, so life is naturally good.

If I guessed right, this building-style steel mill was later the Red Star Rolling Mill.

Not to mention the Xu family, Xu Fugui has a knack for showing movies, and his wife is still working as a servant in the Lou family, and she is very tactful, so her family background is also very good.

Like Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong of the Liu family works in the Loushi steel factory, but his salary is not as high as Yi Zhonghai's.

The people of the country seem to have the consciousness of reporting to the group to keep warm, so it is the same in this courtyard, so in this courtyard, the Yi family, Liu family, He family and Xu family are in the main.This also preliminarily formed the pattern of the three uncles in the future.

Now that these people came together, Jiang Yan knew that they should have something to do with him.

Sure enough, He Daqing kicked He Yuzhu with his foot, and he knew how to play as he went. When will you grow up like others, go there and play, don't delay us from doing things.

At this time, Jiang Yan also said to He Yuzhu and the others, let's go play in the small courtyard!Let me tell your father something.

Children, where to eat these things, at this time Grandma Lu came out with a plate of pastries, and greeted He Yuzhu and the others.

Seeing this plate of snacks, everyone, including these adults, swallowed their saliva.

However, although these children wanted to eat, they still lined up to get snacks from Grandma Lu. They did not forget to thank Grandma Lu while getting the snacks.

For almost everyone who got the snacks, Grandma Lu gave them a pat on the head.

Uncle He, you have something to do with me. After the child left, Jiang Yan looked at He Daqing and asked.

When these words came out, Jiang Yan could clearly see that He Daqing's face turned red, and the others were also a little embarrassed.

Xiaoyan, can you come into the room to talk, Yi Zhonghai next to He Daqing said.

Yes, yes, it’s the boy, Uncle Yi, Uncle He, Uncle Liu, Uncle Xu, please come inside.

After they entered the room and sat down, Yi Zhonghai spoke.

Xiaoyan, we came here to ask for your help.

Uncle Yi, tell me.As long as it is something that the kid can do, just open your mouth.

As soon as Jiang Yan's words came out of his mouth, the room became much quieter.

At this time, Grandma Lu broke the peace by opening her mouth. She said, if you are embarrassed to say anything, it is all neighbors.Speak!I can be the master of my grandson here, and he will definitely do what he can do.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai said, old lady, isn't it, alas, after finishing these half sentences, a look of shame appeared on his face.

Xu Fugui next to him said, originally this is not something Xiaoyan should worry about, it's not that we have no choice but to find a solution to Xiaoyan.

It’s such a small talk, you know that it’s not peaceful on this street, many things are in high demand, especially the grain, these days the big grain store not only has a limited time but also a limited amount, and they don’t accept gold coupons. Several households had run out of food. We thought, Xiaoyan and the others often walked around the streets, so there was no way to get some food.

But don't worry, old lady, you won't make things difficult for Xiaoyan. This is the money collected by several families in our yard. After speaking, He Daqing who followed behind them took out a small bag and poured the contents on the table.

Jiang Yan glanced at the things that poured out of the bag. There were some oceans, silver pennies, copper coins and various gold and silver jewelry in it.

Uncles, I don't know what you want to change, Jiang Yan said when he saw this thing.

Corn noodles, sweet potatoes, as long as they are grains are fine.

OK, no problem, I'll bring you these things tonight.

Add two catties of white flour and half a catty of meat to each family. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. These things are our New Year’s greeting gifts for you. There are not many things. We will make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.At this moment, Grandma Lu interrupted.

This, this, old lady, you spend too much money.

That is, we are already very grateful that you can collect gold coupons as rent, and it is not appropriate to take these things.

yes!Inappropriate, old lady, you should take it back!

He Daqing and the others tried to persuade Grandma Lu.

And Grandma Lu said with a serious face, there is no reason why the things I gave you, the old lady, have not been taken back. I told you to take them. The things are not many. It is a little bit of my heart from the old lady. The days will get better and better.

Will it be so?old lady.Yan Bugui asked cautiously.

It will be like this, you just listen to my old lady, we must guard our courtyard for a while, and if we work together, all difficulties will pass.everything will be fine.

After Grandma Lu's encouragement, Jiang Yan found that everyone's eyes seemed to regain a little bit of light.

At this time, Jiang Yan was sweating for the old lady. There is no shortage of smart people in this courtyard. Grandma Lu's words are a bit taboo. If someone reports it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Uncles, you just need to know what the old lady says, but don't wear it outside, or it will be troublesome.

If you let me know that someone spread the word, you will know the consequences.

After saying this, Jiang Yan took down the slingshot in his hand, took out a small iron ball from his pocket, aimed at the old pagoda tree in the yard, and hit it. A hole the size of a thumb appeared on the trunk.

Seeing the hole above the trunk, everyone took a breath.
