Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Chapter 106 The smell of rice and meat

I don't know if it was due to the atmosphere of the library, but Su Mu always felt that Ran Qiuye was more emotional towards him than he had ever been before.

I thought she had that cold temperament.

But today was quite unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Ran Qiuye would also have a friendly side.

Whether he was helping to find magazines and books or talking to Su Mu, he always had a smile on his face.

This magnetic field made Su Mu feel very comfortable.

If the library hadn't been closed for get off work, Su Mu wouldn't have wanted to separate from Miss Ran Qiuye.

Who knows whether they will return to the cold and estranged state before after sleeping together after separation.

The library is not far from Ran Qiuye's home.

The trolley was driving along the alley, with Miss Ran sitting behind it.

Sumu wood has a sense of accomplishment like grinding an iron pestle into a needle.

It turns out that pursuing a girl with your heart and emotions is such an experience.

Su Mu had never chased a girl before.

I had a crush when I was a student, and when I wanted to confess my love on the eve of graduation, I was already a mother who had two embryos that died in infancy.

Later, Su Mu couldn't tell whether the other party came for other people or money.

Anyway, I feel like I have enough food and clothing, and my charm naturally rises.

There is a substance that determines the cognitive experience of love.

It's completely different from now.

Send Ran Qiuye to the door.

I also received a hearty and crisp farewell with a smile.

It is indeed different from before.

Can't tell why.

Su Mu could vaguely feel that Ran's mother didn't seem to like him very much.

Because I met him by chance, his attitude was very peaceful, but he felt distant and lacked basic enthusiasm.

Su Mu can still feel this.

Ran Qiuye persisted until the doorstep of his house, but did not change his attitude.

Maybe it was because I did something at a certain stage that was recognized and recognized by her.

Anyway, Su Mu was confused.

But everything was developing in a good direction, so Su Mu didn't pursue it further.

He had no intention of collecting more love experiences for future use.

The idea that the risk factor is too high is incompatible with the love concept and values ​​​​of this era.

There will be big problems.

Back to the courtyard.

My eldest brother and sister-in-law haven't come back yet.

To be precise, people who work outside have not come back yet.

As for those who work in the workplace, how many people can have as much free time as Su Mu.

Well, I can’t say too much.

After passing through the hanging flower door, I saw Xu Damao yawning and walking through the hall.

"Mu Mu, how are you doing with the work today?"

"It's okay, Brother Damao, when did you come back?"

"It didn't take a while. I ate lunch and then rushed back. I had to go out for something and went to my brother's place for a drink another day."

"Okay, Brother Damao, you go to work first, I'll go back to the house."

Xu Damao staggered out of the yard.

Judging from the way he looked, he must have taken a nap in his room just now and was not fully awake yet.

Su Mu returned to the house, washed and changed into home clothes.

It is loose and simple yet very clean and refreshing.

Although the days are ordinary and dull, there can still be a sense of ritual in life.

Changing clothes means putting away everything outside for a while.

The remaining energy is only to deal with dinner and sleep tasks.

I looked through the kitchen and found a few green onions and two potatoes.

Su Mu turned his hand, and a piece of pork that was both fat and lean suddenly appeared on the chopping board.

It’s not that wild boars don’t have fat, they just have less fat and more lean meat.

After Su Mu learned He Yuzhu's method of handling wild boar, he recreated the process of imitating cats and tigers in the space.

The effect is quite passable.

Even if there is a slight difference, it can be covered up by cooking with a lot of oil and aniseed ingredients and adding a little chili to enhance the flavor.

The recipe is spicy and sour shredded potatoes and fried pork with green onions.

Sumu's cooking skills are average, so the cooking steps are very complicated.

First prepare all the ingredients and seasonings required for the two dishes bit by bit.

For example, onions, ginger, and garlic are divided into two piles, completely separated according to the dish.

While the pot was heating, he muttered and repeated the steps.

In fact, he remembered it, but because of his poor skills, he was afraid that he would forget it every time he cooked.

Repeating steps has become Sumu II's habitual thinking.

When the spicy and sour potato shreds come out of the pot, the aroma has already filled the yard.

Naturally, some ignorant children in the neighborhood started to make trouble.

Naturally, those who were beaten and cried were inevitable.

The yard immediately became lively.

They are the most ordinary breath of life.

People came back one after another.

After a busy day, no one is hungry.

Now the whole capital is in a food shortage situation.

The factory canteen cannot be opened to increase capacity.

If the rice is a little thinner and the proportion of steamed bread and cereals is slightly more, it will not resist hunger.

As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled the aroma of rice from the front yard.

The first subconscious glance was to turn around and look at the east wing.

When I saw that the door to the east wing was closed and there was no movement in the small kitchen on the south, I couldn't help but look towards the east wing again.

This is already inertia.

The two brothers of the Su family are the only ones who are not affected much in the entire courtyard.

From the perspective of their family of factory workers, the reason why Su Yingjun and Su Mu were not short of supplies was purely because of the supplies provided by the army compound.

In their understanding, the army compound is a small society with everything in it. If the people are living in austerity, the army cannot be missing.

If they are all hungry, who can they expect to protect their country?

In fact, they don't know that the soldiers in the front line are guaranteed meals and accommodation.

However, civil servants and leaders began to voluntarily reduce supplies and tighten their belts more than a month earlier than the common people.

The Su family has no worries about eating and drinking, and the raw materials for hard dishes come from sappan wood;

Li Xiaolan, who works at the supply and marketing cooperative, is the main force in making condiments and non-staple food.

In the end, Su Yingjun, as a cadre of the municipal bureau, sat in to intimidate him.

Each has its own merits, and the combination is perfect and harmonious.

This has resulted in the current situation of being envied but unable to speak out.

Yi Zhonghai silently walked up the hall steps, and heard the unique sound of the chain ringing when the bicycle behind him was pushing.

The only family with bicycles in the yard is Su Yingjun and his wife in the east wing.

One family has two bicycles.

Droughts die from droughts, and floods die from floods.

Without looking back, Yi Zhonghai returned home with complicated thoughts.

The weather has gotten colder recently, and my wife's health is not in good shape. She has been sick again in the past two days.

I struggled to cook, and after a while I had to make medicine.

As the head of the compound, Uncle Yi has a lot to worry about.

There was also the support work for the deaf old lady in the backyard, which he took on in front of the street office.

This matter cannot be vague.

Others don't understand, how could he Yi Zhonghai not understand.

Not to mention whether it is a burden to take care of the deaf old lady. Without the strong recommendation of the old lady, it is not certain whether I, as an eighth-level fitter, would be able to get the salary.

Well, that's not true either.

It's specified that you can't get it.

There are actually several levels of eighth-level workers. Yi Zhonghai was recognized by the factory and was promoted by taking advantage of the opportunity of exceptional promotion after a group of key personnel were transferred away 55 years later.

The remuneration is based on the salary standards for level eight workers.

But the real weight is tacitly understood by everyone.

As usual, Li Xiaolan got off work before Su Yingjun. "Brother, is the food ready?"

"Now, the steamed buns aren't hot yet. Brother, won't you come back to eat tonight?"

"He sent someone to tell him that he had something to do with his colleagues tonight, so there was no need to wait for him."

The two of them were shouting through a window several meters apart, killing the envious cells of countless people.

The only way to avoid going home to eat these days is to go out to a restaurant.

There are now meals in the capital that you can eat without a ticket, and you can also eat a lot of fish and meat.

The premise is that you have money.

Those are high-priced dishes.

I wish I could make up half a month's salary of an ordinary person.

In fact, this is a public canteen prepared for private capitalists and those with money.

It’s a little trick to withdraw funds.

Even though the price is ridiculously high, there are still quite a few people participating.

After all, money cannot be used as food, and people can still starve to death if they keep money.

And if you take money to go to a restaurant that serves high-priced dishes, it is necessary to eat and drink well, and at best you can survive.

Su Yingjun went to a restaurant. Not only could he eat and drink delicious food, but he could also help his family save a meal of rations.

It's just too enviable.

Yan Bugui felt his stomach twitching as soon as he entered the Chuihua Gate.

My heart and liver are both uncomfortable.

The Yan family has a large population, and many people rely on their own wages to survive. Aunt Yang does some chores in the neighborhood committee, and the supplementary household income is saved for urgent use.

There are three young men in the family, and starting a family in the future is all about money.

Without any precautions, Yan Bugui and the third aunt probably wouldn't be able to sleep well.

If your family can save one person's rations.

Replace it with whole grains and cook it into porridge, and you can make a meal for the whole family.

Yan Bugui took three steps with his legs and feet, and quickly ran through his mind on how to use the rations he had saved.

Ran and egg.

This opportunity to save money has nothing to do with Yanbugui.

I can only look at it with envy.

After a while, bursts of fragrant aroma came from the Sumu house.

That's the smell of white flour steamed buns.

Pure white steamed buns without any coarse grains.

Take one bite and it will be so fragrant.

It's too happy.

Zi Liu.

In the room on the west side of the hall, Liu Ka-shing used chopsticks to stir things in a bowl, sipping on his saliva while searching eagerly.

It is quite rare to find a few grains of rice in the bowl.

At night, I usually just drink a lot of water, and then go to bed quickly while my stomach is unconscious.

This is an ordeal that most family members who are not working outside the home currently have to go through.

The same goes for children.

After all, Liu Ka-shing is no longer young.

Chen Dakui drank his porridge silently.

The situation in his house is slightly better than that in Xihu across the street.

But it’s just about eating better.

After all, the family is missing a main cook.

But strictly speaking, there is no comparison between them and the Liu family.

The place where I live is not my own. If I have enough food this month, I don’t know how much food I will have next month. I don’t know whether I will have enough food.

Because neither Chen Liu nor Chen Dakui have serious and stable jobs.

There is no guarantee of income even if you work part-time or part-time jobs.

However, Chen Dakui is still very optimistic about the future.

After all, now he can take over the job of carrying bags in the textile factory.

Relatively stable.

And the relationship with Su Mu has been established.

The certificate of submission was thrown out, and the other party accepted it.

Regardless of the alley skewers or the stubborn masters, the eldest brother has something to eat, and the younger brother can't even give out a mouthful of soup.

Chen Dakui never thought about being as rich as Su Mu. He just thought that by working hard and without complaint, he could earn enough food and clothing for himself and his mother.

This is his short-term goal, and he knows it will last for a long time.

Duh!duh duh!

Chen Dakui raised his head.

On the edge of the window, Su Mu's fingers were bent and tapping.

Chen Dakui's heart moved, he got up and went out.

"Dakui, come with me to the station to do some work the day after tomorrow."

"Oh. Is it just the two of us?"

Chen Dakui asked absently.

His eyes were placed in Su Mu's hand.

Su Mu had a bowl in his hand with vegetables in it.

The key is that it still smells fishy.

There is meat.

"A batch of goods has arrived from Dashanlan Satin Shop. We need someone to unload the goods from the carriage and send them to the warehouse. When you see Brother Dong and Qi Tian tomorrow, call them too and they will give you a lot."

"I'll go over and tell them early tomorrow morning."

"Why are you still standing there? Go back and get a bowl."

Su Mu said something.

Chen Dakui immediately turned around and ran back to the house.

He stood there distractedly by the fragrance. He seemed to be responding to the arrangements, but in fact he was already impatient and was waiting for Su Mu to speak.

Neighbors bring some delicious food, always with bowls or plates, and the neighbors take it with their own bowls and plates.

These days, we don't want to take the bowl away or leave it, then wash it after eating and send it back.

No matter why, I'm not interested in that anyway.

He folded the vegetables and put them into the bowl brought by Chen Dakui.

Su Mu was not polite and turned around and went back to the house.

Li Xiaolan was already sitting at the dinner table.

She was really hungry right now, and it was hard to bear it.

Although she couldn't figure out why Su Mu wanted to arrange some food for Chen Dakui's family, she knew that her younger brother had a sense of propriety in doing things, so he would not act without aim.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, I can't bear it anymore."

"Sister-in-law, please eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

As Su Mu said this, he took two quick steps, sat down on the table, and picked up the chopsticks.

Li Xiaolan then took a big mouthful of steamed buns and picked up the piece of meat that was both fat and thin that she had already set her sights on.

After staring at it for a long time, I finally got the chance to eat it.

Wow haha, it’s so delicious, so fragrant, so comfortable.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of physical work did you do this afternoon? Are you so hungry?"

Greedy for cheap, he grabbed a pinch of tea leaves from the director's desk and brewed it himself.

These days, people don't have enough food and water in their stomachs, so they will be hungry until they get off work. What's more, Li Xiaolan also made herself a cup of strong tea.

Strong tea for scraping oil.

If she's not so hungry that she feels dizzy and has low blood sugar, it means she's in good health.

"Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, I asked someone specifically, and those chocolates are really not bad."

puff!
cough cough cough.

Li Xiaolan wasted food.

Distressed do not do not.

But the information I said was so exciting.

So many chocolates, if they are not spoiled, how much will they cost and how many votes will they be exchanged for?

"What should we do now? Brother, let's send it back tomorrow. My sister-in-law suddenly feels uneasy..."

"Sister-in-law, I've thought about it. It doesn't matter what happens. If it goes bad soon after we send it back, will we be blamed?"

Anyway, the scrapping process has been completed and the moldy chocolate has been pulled out.

"...Little brother, just pretend that you didn't tell your sister-in-law whether it was okay or not, so I don't know anything. Yes, I didn't hear anything. Oh, I'm starving to death. Eat quickly, eat quickly..."

Li Xiaolan actually has such a weird method.

The skill of deceiving oneself and others is quite slippery.
