Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 382 Chapter 381 Helping Hand
Although Ye Zhijuan has never been to her husband's hometown, the comrades in the Sijiu City office there visit her at least twice a year. Coupled with her location, she knows more about the situation there than Wang Jingwen. a bit more.

The words "grain adjustment, drought, and lightness" are behind the reduction of rations. Wild vegetables can't grow as fast as they can be dug, which is as heavy as a thousand stones.

Fifty yuan is not a small amount. Ye Zhijuan knows that her mother-in-law must have savings in her hand, and it will not be difficult for the time being, but she is still willing to add another ten yuan.

As a junior, Ye Zhijuan must have an attitude even if she is showing off to others, not to mention that it contains her husband's last wish and can she afford it?

When you reach a certain level, you have to think more about the layout, reputation, reputation, etc. Generally speaking, the money spent is definitely worth the money, but this kind of thing can only be done but not said.

Although Wang Jingwen almost never hides everything in the family, big or small, but not everything is told to her.

The king's father originally sent 200,000 yuan a month to his mother, as a sign of filial piety, but later he gradually increased the amount to 300,000 or 400,000 yuan, with the intention of compensating his mother.

Revolution is never about romance and dinner, it is always accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice.

The prince's father ran out on his own, the family was suppressed and liquidated, and the old man lost his life.

The family had lost its backbone, and it was not easy for the old lady to pull up the other brothers by herself. She confidently asked the prince for money, and she also had a sense of complaining and blaming in it.

Tang Zhitong got dressed, held the chicken coop on his head, and opened the door.

Since daylight saving time has not yet been implemented, the commuting hours of many departments are fixed and will not change with seasonal changes.

"Nian Bin, I heard that you were admitted to high school, good job." Tang Zhitong came over, patted his cousin on the shoulder and praised him.

After Wang Fu got in touch with his hometown, the local government asked Wang Fu for his opinion on the matter.

"That's not possible. How short of meat is there these days? I can't take advantage of you." Tang Ting processed most of the pork here last night. This morning she was invited to bring her family over for breakfast. After hearing what her nephew said, she refused directly. .

The reason why Wang Jingwen was not told about this matter was that she was still young at the time. Secondly, as parents, they had no intention of passing on the grudges of the previous generation to the next generation. Is this good or bad? , be it kindness, be it resentment, it all ends with their generation.

"Eucalyptus, you caught the wild boar. I ate it before I asked you how to share it. I'll make up for it later." Tang Wenbang heard the noise, chewed on the cigarette rod, put on his coat, and came out of the main room. .

"Uncle, didn't I say it last night? This wild boar was hunted by our two brothers, so we can't keep it all on me. I don't intend to take it either. You and my sister-in-law just need to separate it." Tang Zhitong wiped his hair and became a thief again. Spirited young man.

It was precisely because of Wang Jingwen's ignorance that she became indignant and recorded the incident in her diary, intending to wait until Tang Zhitong came back to talk about it.

"Hehe, I'll try to get into college again." Su Nianbin said with a smile when he heard the praise.

Although the two brothers had reconciled their confessions, Tang Gang gave up after being glared at by his father last night.

"Well, live on campus, go today and come back on Saturday." Su Nianbin replied, unable to hold back, he took another bite of the bone.

"Come on, write me if you need any information. Today is Monday, right? Are you going to school after breakfast?" Tang Zhitong nodded and asked.

The result of the discussion between Wang's father and Ye Zhijuan was: the country was poor and full of waste, and the country could not cause trouble. The husband and wife were responsible for taking care of the family. Forty yuan was the average monthly salary of workers in 49 cities at that time, so they should be used to subsidize a worker in his hometown. .

The biological clock is a very magical clock. As long as you get used to it, you will wake up at the right time.

Tang Zhitong had no idea about this and slept soundly until his biological clock woke him up.

Of course, this money will not be subsidized endlessly. Father Wang and Ye Zhijuan have always believed that it is more appropriate to subsidize the old lady until her death.

Although it was a living human life, because he accepted the whole process without any resistance, he did not enjoy preferential treatment after liberation.

"Okay, you and Huimin will eat first, and I'll wash your face first." Tang Zhitong smiled with his cousin and went to wash up on his own. He hadn't washed his face in more than a day, and his lips were all salty when he licked them.

"Brother Eucalyptus!" Su Nianbin and his sister Su Huimin were chewing bones in the yard. When they saw Tang Zhitong coming out, they immediately stood up to say hello.

Tang Zhitong didn't stay in bed because he heard Su Nianbin's movements through the window.

"Sister-in-law, please don't give in. If you, aunt, and sister-in-law had not processed it last night, this meat would have stinked a long time ago. I don't want this meat." Tang Zhitong shook his head with a firm attitude. It was not easy to catch such a legitimate subsidy. I will definitely not let go of the opportunity here.

"Let's do this, let's share some, and you can take some too. The smoked meat is not afraid of spoiling, so take it back and eat it slowly." Tang Wenbang took a few puffs of dry cigarettes and said in a patriarchal manner, with a tone that was unquestionable.

"Okay." When Tang Ting saw her elder brother speaking, she nodded and agreed.

"Okay." Even though Tang Zhitong had no intention of asking, he could only nod.

Later generations all know about bloodline suppression, but it is difficult to deeply understand the meaning of elder brother as father.

This statement is more than just words, in this day and age, the eldest brother has irrefutable parental authority in a family whose parents are deceased.

Tang Zhitong had a breakfast of wild boar meat which was not very tasty.

Since Su Nianbin and Su Huimin had to go to school, they picked up their schoolbags and left after eating.

Tang Zhitong wiped his mouth, sent the two of them to the door, took out twenty yuan from his pocket, ten yuan each, and stuffed them into their hands.

"Be obedient, you two save it for emergencies. If necessary, write to me, study hard, and try to get into college." Neither of them wanted it, but they couldn't resist Tang Zhitong's determination, so they had to give in.

Feelings come from everywhere.

Tang Wenbang took Su Nianbin thousands of miles to find relatives. His sister-in-law Tang Ting treated Tang Zhitong sincerely, and Su Nianbin re-established the bookstore with Tang Zhitong's encouragement. The only official job in the family was his uncle Su Xiao, who found it difficult to support two students, so Tang Zhitong I just thought I could help a little bit.

After seeing off the two students, Tang Zhitong turned around and went back. Tang Gang then limped out holding on to the door frame.

"Euclidean, don't your legs hurt?" Tang Gang asked with a grin on his face.

"Hehe, it doesn't hurt. I didn't get beaten last night." Tang Zhitong replied coquettishly. After Tang Gang told him last night that he had allowed his younger brother to carry Shui Lianzhu alone to test the gun, Tang Wenbang immediately dropped the sack, snatched the cane from his son's hand, and gave Tang Gang two hard lashes on the leg.

If Tang Zhitong hadn't stopped him, he would probably have been beaten a few more times.

"You don't have to pick up the pot, right?" Tang Gang didn't take it seriously. Since his father had beaten him in front of his younger brother, the matter was over.

"Who told you to be lax?" Tang Zhitong glanced back, but when he didn't see his uncle, he quietly scratched Tang Gang and said.

"Hey, I saw that you had never been hung up and beaten by your second uncle. I was really scared." Tang Gang looked at Tang Zhitong with eyes full of envy. What an unfortunate childhood!
"Hey, how did you know that my dad never tried? It was just that my grandma stopped her." Tang Zhitong still misses the old lady very much. His son can educate his grandson, but he will not let his son beat him too hard.

In Tang Zhitong's impression, the old lady's soul-touching education was more than "father's love".

"Then you are very lucky." Tang Gang has never met his grandmother. When he was a child, he experienced "father's love" and fantasized about someone being able to stop her, but it failed every time. As time went by, he got used to it.

"I'm quite lucky, but my grandmother was more severe than my father." Tang Zhitong didn't want this envy, but it could not be denied that Tang Zhitong was lucky. The old lady pulled the family through the most difficult period and left him a house. Although the unforgettable "children's education" touched his soul, it also ensured that he did not go astray.

"Euclidean, I sent the rabbit you shot yesterday to your brother's leader. You can just take the remaining bullets at home with you when you leave." Tang Wenbang came out of the main room and interrupted the two brothers' chat.

"Okay, thank you, uncle. Are you going into the mountains?" Tang Zhitong asked in surprise when he saw Tang Wenbang, who was fully armed.

"Yes. Based on the size of the wild boar you two shot, there should be some nearby. I'll go into the mountain to have a look." Tang Wenbang nodded and confirmed.

"Then I'll go with you. It's safer if there are more people." Tang Zhitong's first reaction was that he had space to ensure the safety of the trip.

"I asked for leave from Gangzi. You two should rest at home. In addition to me and your uncle, there are a few good guys coming with us. Don't worry." Tang Wenbang gave the two brothers reassurance.

"Oh, that's okay." Tang Zhitong felt relieved when he heard that there were several people. Tang Gang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I packed some wooden boards for you two days ago and sent them to your uncle to untie the wooden boards you asked for. Please take the time to go over and have a look." Tang Wenbang walked to the gate, remembered this, and turned around to give the nephew added.

"Okay, thank you, uncle!" Now that Tang Wenbang had made all the arrangements, Tang Zhitong didn't have to be polite. He would use the space to fill up the piles for the uncle later. Anyway, the uncle said last time that he didn't have enough piles at home.

Tang Zhitong was not sure if there were still wild boars there, but Tang Wenbang's trip also showed that the forest farm was already very rare for meat, otherwise it would not have risked organizing people to go into the mountains because of unfounded news.

They are all close friends and relatives, so if you can help, help. Isn’t the correct use of space to make your life more comfortable?

Along the Andong coast, there is no shortage of salt.

The two pork fans brought back last night, except for the stew pot, the rest had been carefully rubbed with salt by the aunt, sister-in-law and others, and hung in the small shed for smoking.

Seeing the hanging strips of pork, Tang Zhitong remembered that the art of smoking was not exclusive to the South.

"Mom, can the fish be smoked and preserved?" Tang Zhitong asked, holding his slightly stubbled chin.

"Yes, why not? Do you want it?" The aunt put a few more wet pine branches on the dark fire and asked.

"I don't want it, I can't enjoy this taste." Tang Zhitong shook his head.

The Tang family started their business by braised pork in the early years. When his father, Tang Wuguo, first arrived in Sijiu City, he tried to resume his old business, but was rejected by the local "smoked fish" businessman.

Smoked fish is an old trade in Sijiucheng. The products sold are adjusted according to the seasons. Pork head meat is available all year round. Other auxiliary products are mainly yellow croaker and shrimp.

Before liberation, due to the limitations of transportation conditions and fresh-keeping technology, it was very difficult to eat fresh sea fish and shrimp inland. On the seashore, due to oversupply, the price was as low as dirt. It is said that in a certain peninsula city at that time You can buy 50 pairs of giant prawns for just one piece of ocean!

In view of the above situation, some smart people invented the "smoking" technology, smoked the smoke at the seaside, and then transported it to Sijiu City for sale.

As for why it is called "smoked fish" even though it mainly sells pork head meat, Tang Zhitong thought it might be because it is sold as a rarity, just like a certain beef ramen. Although each bowl only has one or two thin slices of beef, it is indeed Yes.

Since sea fish can also be smoked, Tang Zhitong thought about going out and collecting some sea fish from space for his uncle and sister-in-law. This place is close to the sea, so it is not unusual to buy sea fish.

"Auntie, I'm going to the city." As soon as he said it, Tang Zhitong made plans and was ready to take action immediately.

"Why are you going to the city? Gangzi, go to the city with your brother." The aunt asked casually and made arrangements at the same time.

"No, let me rest at home. I'll just make the trip myself. We need to talk to the station about the transport of wooden planks." Tang Zhitong opened his mouth and made a nonsense excuse.

"Can you do it by yourself?" Tang Gang asked as he stood up with a grin on his face before he finished eating. The soreness in his body made him very uncomfortable.

"No problem, don't worry. I've been on this road several times. I'll just take a ride and get there." Tang Zhitong pressed Tang Gang on the seat and pinched Tang Gang's shoulder. Two, you can tell by looking at Tang Gang's expression, it's quite sour.

The aunt and sister-in-law carefully packed the dry food and water bottles for Tang Zhitong, and Tang Zhitong put an ax on his waist before going out.

Of course, Tang Zhitong didn't really go to the city. He walked out of the forest farm gate and walked another two miles. He found a leeward outlet in a place without a village or a shop, and went straight up the mountain.

According to the principle that the sight should not be turned askew, Tang Zhitong turned askew again, making sure that even if there were pedestrians on the road, he would not be able to find him, and then he started to work.

There are a lot of big mackerels in the space, and you can take them out at any time, but if you want to do things properly, you have to have time for commuting on the road.

Tang Zhitong plans to use this time to make some purely natural condiment without any technological manipulation - oyster sauce.

Oyster sauce has a long history and is a must-have condiment for many seaside residents. It is not complicated to make, but it is very time-consuming. It takes at least two or three days from digging the oysters to successfully cooking them. And this thing is like miso, you have to choose the season to get the meat. The oyster sauce produced from fat oysters is more fragrant.

Due to technical limitations, the current oysters are not farmed, they are all wild, with long and slender shells and generally less oyster meat inside. Fortunately, the weather was not warm when Tang Zhitong came to Anton last time, so the ones that were harvested from the sea were Oysters are okay.
