The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 53 Tickets Are Expired
Shazhu's second blind date has just begun, and Yi Zhonghai's adoption task is still progressing slowly.Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui haven't caused any trouble yet.Jia Zhang and Xu Damao haven't become monsters yet.Lou Xiaoe and Qin Huairu have been captured by Li Ming.

For a while, the courtyard was quite peaceful.

After dinner, Li Ming walked to the front yard with the "Agricultural Knowledge" magazine and a small Maza in his hand.

It was still bright, and he was idle, so he read a book to pass the time.

It happened that Qin Huairu was going out with a bag.

"Sister Qin, go out?"

"It's almost the end of the month, and the ticket will expire if you don't use it. I'll go to the grocery store."

Li Ming waved his book, "Well, I have to study hard, do you study at night?"

Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment before realizing it, rolled his eyes at him and said, "It is to study hard, and I will study at night."

After matching the codes, Qin Huairu left quickly.

After being reminded by Qin Huairu, Li Ming thought that he had a lot of tickets to deal with.Beijing food stamps weighing more than one catty must be dealt with quickly, because they are valid for the current month.

Tickets such as one tael, two taels, and half a catty that have been fragmented in Beijing for the past two years are also valid for a long time.National food stamps are valid for a long time no matter what the weight.

Therefore, many people will try their best to replace old tickets with new tickets, replace local food stamps with national food stamps, and replace fragmented national food stamps with large national food stamps.As the bottom of the box, large national food stamps are more popular than gold.

"I said, no wonder Yan Bugui's family has rice. It's the end of the month. What Yan Bugui's family needs is stick noodles. I don't know how he exchanged it with his colleagues." Li Ming thought again, "I didn't pay attention to the time limit before. Tickets bought with money, it would be a pity not to lose them.”

Li Ming's own food and non-staple food books have been arranged, and he will go to collect them tomorrow.In the past, the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office was responsible for these tasks, but due to lack of manpower, they were delegated to the neighborhood committees. Now it is the responsibility of the Jiaodaokou Grain Store.

Every family can only buy grain at designated grain stores. In addition to collecting food stamps and money, the grain store staff will also check whether the governing grain store, address, and resident’s name on the grain certificate are consistent.

"Uncle Xiao Ming, you tell stories." It turned out that there were already a few little kids around him.

"I won't tell you stories today. See, this is a book on agricultural knowledge."

Li Ming doesn't do personnel affairs, "Tomorrow is the summer season, I will tell you about the delicious food, do you know the fried red fruit?"

"Know", "don't know", and so on.

"If you don't know, I will tell you. For fried red fruit, people wash the hawthorn first, boil it in boiling water until it is half-cooked, then fish it out, peel off the skin and remove the core. At this time, add sugar and water into the pot and continue to boil. Make juice, then add the semi-finished red fruit just now into the pot, cook with a slow fire, and it is ready when the fruit petals are translucent. Let it cool and eat, it is cold, sweet and sour, and it is better than candied haws. "

There was a sound of swallowing saliva.

After talking about one, Li Ming planned to talk about a more expensive one, "Have you ever eaten snowflake cheese?"

"No." Now the answer is more uniform, these children are not old, even if they ate it when they were young, they can't remember it, and the adults have been more frugal in recent years.

"First, make crushed ice, fresh milk, and sugar into thin snowflakes, pour thick sour plum soup, add melon seeds, peanut kernels, wheat kernels, raisins, etc., and finally sprinkle a layer of soft bean paste, That’s how it’s done. The snow cheese is half-drinked and half-chewed, it’s cold and cold, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, it’s really sweet and sour.”

Stick swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said sharply: "Uncle Xiao Ming, you are lying, how can ice cubes be made into snowflakes."

"Of course it's not that simple. I'm simply describing it to you."

Yan Bugui came out after eating, heard a few words, and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming, when the child asks for these food at home, you will scold him."

"Haha, what quenches the heat and thirst is not to eat it as a meal. Let the children taste it and gain a lot of knowledge."

Wu Ming came out with a small bench in hand, "Xiao Ming, you can eat enough for one person and the whole family will not be hungry. If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know that rice, oil and salt are expensive. A little sour plum soup is good."

Seeing that the adults were going to chat, the children went to play by themselves.

"Too much water has been added to the sour plum soup in the factory, so it's tasteless." Li Ming said casually.

Yan Bugui envied: "Your rolling mill still has such benefits, but our school doesn't have such good conditions."

"Third Master, you are all on summer vacation, it's not good!"

The more and more people gathered, the summer night cool talk started like this.

In the evening, the people enjoying the shade dispersed.

Qin Huairu skillfully entered the east wing of the front yard.

On the small square table, two pairs of chopsticks, a plate of vinegared cabbage, a plate of braised meat, and two bottles of Arctic Ocean.

Qin Huairu complained as soon as she entered the door, "You're making trouble for me, Xiaodang wants to eat snowflake cheese and fried red fruit. I only found out that you said it after I asked."

"Hey, come here, sit on my side. Is the stick not making trouble?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "I guess the stick is going to buy it when I get the salary at the end of the month."

"He hasn't been stealing from Sha Zhu recently, has he?"

"No. It may be that Shazhu has been busy recently, and the weather is too hot and he didn't bring anything back." Qin Huairu was not sure whether Banggen would listen to her.

Li Ming opened a bottle of soda for Qin Huairu, "I think you will feed the third child all the delicious food at home, and I will make up for you in the evening."

"Why is your braised meat all lean meat?"

"I'm afraid it's too greasy. Your stomach can't take it for a while. You didn't feel greasy in the pig's trotter soup before. I made it carefully."

Qin Huairu's eyes flickered, "I'll eat later, I want to eat people first."

A mature woman is sometimes so direct.

. . .

. . .

After the difficult sports, the peach-cheeked Qin Huairu hugged Li Ming and didn't want to move anymore.

"how do you feel?"

"very good."

The two wiped it with a towel, sat and chatted while drinking.

Qin Huairu smiled and gossiped: "Yesterday, Xu Damao was beaten by a fool again."

Li Ming asked curiously, "What's going on between these two?"

"Didn't Shazhu break up with his partner? Xu Damao was acting weird in front of Shazhu, that's because the aunt stopped him, otherwise Xu Damao must have been beaten all over the place."

"What time was it yesterday? I didn't hear anything when I came back."

Qin Huairu said while picking up vegetables, "In the afternoon, I heard what my mother said. He skipped work early and went home two days ago."

"So coincidentally, the two came together?"

Qin Huairu said disdainfully: "Xu Damao came to Sha Zhu's house from the backyard to say it on purpose. Seeing that Sha Zhu made a move, he fled to the courtyard crying and howling, and Da Ma stopped him."

"This Xu Damao is good at picking and beating." Li Ming thought to himself, no one of those little brats reported such important information to him.There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not fast.

Seeing Qin Huairu eating cabbage all the time, Li Ming fed her a piece of pig heart, "Let them make trouble, you can't beat anyone to death."

Eating the pig's heart, Qin Huairu felt sweet in his heart.

"By the way, when I go back later, I'll get you 10 catties of food stamps. If you hadn't reminded me in the evening, I would have forgotten that it was about to expire." Li Ming still had a pile of food stamps in his hand at this time, and he couldn't finish them all.

"Well, I've never seen you eat steamed buns." This man really fascinated her.

"Just talk nonsense, when I go to the countryside, I also eat steamed buns at my fellow villagers' homes." Li Ming argued.
