At this time, the cost of food and clothing in the forest area is far inferior to that in the city. For some people in the forest area, they may have never seen Western clothes.
For example, leaders of forest farms and cadres in the countryside only wear Chinese tunic suits when attending formal occasions at work.
There are also young couples who get married, and the woman makes clothes for the groom, usually buying wool to make a Chinese tunic suit.
Brothers Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai work in a forest farm, and the forest farm has newspapers and publications. Although these things have expired for a long time when they are delivered to the forest farm, they can also allow forestry employees to understand some of the outside situation.
The Li family has always been the "heirloom of farming and reading".
Li Baoyu and Li Ruhai both liked to read those newspapers and periodicals. In the illustrations of the newspapers, the two brothers looked at the foreign businessmen and foreign guests wearing decent suits. Li Baoyu once told Li Ruhai that when he got married, the old Liu family would give him
Make a Chinese tunic suit, and then he has to spend money to make another suit for himself.
At that time, Li Ruhai hugged his brother's arm and said, "Brother, bring one for me when you do it. I don't have a big lump like yours, so I can save materials."
After Li Ruhai finished speaking, Li Baoyu ruthlessly told him to get lost.
Just now, when Li Ruhai asked him to help buy wool to make clothes, Li Baoyu immediately understood what was going on.
Although Li Baoyu's attitude today was not as rude as that day, he still rejected Li Ruhai.
But seeing Li Ruhai turn away angrily, Li Baoyu couldn't help but sigh. He knew that if he didn't agree to Li Ruhai, this kid would have to tell the "Legend of Xiao Bajie" written by himself at the Winter Games Gala.
"What a day for you..." Li Baoyu twitched the corner of his mouth and said angrily: "After buying the materials, who can make it for you? Tailor Feng of Yongsheng, I guess he doesn't even know what a suit looks like."
As soon as Li Baoyu finished speaking, Li Ruhai sat up, reached for the kang cabinet, opened the door that belonged to him, leaned over and rummaged inside for a while, then took out a small book and handed it to Li Baoyu.
"What is this..." Li Baoyu couldn't help frowning after taking a look. He could see pieces of cut newspapers sandwiched in the middle of the small book.
"Oh my god!" Li Baoyu exclaimed, "Did you cut the newspaper?"
"Brother-in-law Zhou said it's okay." Li Ruhai took the notebook back from Li Baoyu and opened the page to see several photos of Carter's visit.
Carter never came to China when he was in power. But after he came down, he traveled to China frequently.
This picture is of Carter shaking hands with the eldest son of the Deng family when he came to China in June 1987. The seven or eight people in the picture are all in suits, ties, and big leather shoes.
Li Ruhai pointed his finger at the people in the illustration and said, "Show this to Tailor Feng. He promises to make it."
After saying that, Li Ruhai looked up at Li Baoyu, who was sitting a head taller than him.
Li Baoyu twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at each other and said, "How about I do it for you?"
As soon as Li Baoyu said this, Li Ruhai pursed his lips, biting his lower lip with his upper teeth, and his cheeks bulged.
"Huh?" Li Baoyu saw this and said hurriedly: "What? Are you going to cry? I tell you, if you call Sa Huan'er this night, I will throw you out if I pull my legs."<
/p>
After Li Baoyu finished speaking, he saw that Li Ruhai still looked like that, so he asked angrily: "What on earth do you want?"
"My mouth is scratching!" Li Ruhai finally spoke, but as soon as he spoke, Li Baoyu felt that these four words were full of threats.
At this time, Li Ruhai said again: "Tomorrow at noon I will go to the second cafeteria first, and then I will go to the first cafeteria after that. I will give them..."
"Okay!" Li Baoyu closed the work manual, interrupted Li Ruhai directly, and then said: "Go to bed quickly, I will go to Yongsheng at some time, talk to Tailor Feng, and just leave him to buy wool.
Let him make a suit for both of us."
"Then I have to go with you!" Li Ruhai smiled brightly when he heard Li Baoyu agreed. He put his hands on the seam between his shoulders and slid down both sides of his body. He gestured while saying: "See and then give it to me.
Make a little waistcoat, I see them wearing something like that."
"Ha!" Li Baoyu heard this and laughed: "You mountain cannon, that's called a vest, but you also have a waistcoat..."
……
Early the next morning, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin got up at half past four. When they got up, Song Lan was already kneading a large amount of noodles and steamed buns in the outer room.
While the pickled cabbage soup and steamed buns were on the table, Zhao Jun had just sat down on the kang, and Jie Chen came back.
When everyone saw him coming back, they didn't even bother to eat. Before they could let Jie Chen into the room, they heard Song Lan ask: "Brother, how are you, Brother Chen?"
"It's not bad." Jie Chen said: "My life was saved. I woke up for a while in the morning. He was noisy and in pain. The doctor went over and gave him an injection. After that, he gave him some medicine and he fell asleep."
"Okay!" After hearing what Jie Chen said, Huang Gui nodded slightly and said, "As long as you can save your life!"
After saying that, he invited Jiechen into the house for dinner, and asked Guofu to go to Jiang Weifeng's house to tell Huang Yan the good news.
After several people got on the kang and sat down around the kang table, Song Lan came in from the outhouse carrying a large basin of pickled cabbage soup, followed by Huang Minqiang who was carrying the bowl.
Sauerkraut soup is very simple, just cut the sauerkraut leaves into thin strips with a razor blade, then heat the oil in a pot, add the chopped green onion to the pot, then put the cut sauerkraut into the pot and stir-fry.
Sauerkraut needs oil. If possible, add more oil. When the sauerkraut is slightly dry, add water to make soup.
The soup is stewed below, and the dry food is steamed in a curtain drawer above. The steam is ten to fifteen minutes, and the dry food and soup are cooked together.
Although this sauerkraut soup is simple, it tastes exquisite.
When making soup, burn the dried chili peppers dried in autumn in front of the stove pit.
When the pickled cabbage soup is put into a bowl and placed in front of the diners, the diners themselves break up the roasted dried chili peppers and add them to the soup.
After the dried chilies are roasted and burnt, they break into pieces as soon as they are broken. As for the crushed chilies, even when soaked in soup, they are fragrant and crispy.
At this time, take a sip of the hot pickled cabbage soup. The soup is sour and spicy at first. As you drink the soup slowly, you can taste the slightest saltiness in the soup.
Then put the chopsticks in the bowl and pick up a piece of dried chili pepper, wrap it in pickled cabbage and put it in your mouth, along with a mouthful of dry food. Whether it is white flour steamed buns or large pancakes, they are all so fragrant.
Song Lan put the basin of pickled cabbage soup on the edge of the kang, while Huang Minqiang also put a pile of bowls on the kang table.
Song Lan raised his hand and took down the top bowl. He took the bowl in his left hand and the spoon in his right hand. He filled a bowl with vegetables and soup and sent it to Zhang Yuanmin first.
Zhang Yuanmin took the soup, put the bowl in front of him, then took the roasted dried chili pepper, holding the stem of the chili pepper with his left hand, and breaking it off from the tip of the chili pepper with his right hand.
Song Lan continued to serve soup. Her second bowl of soup was for Zhao Jun, but when she served it to Zhao Jun, it was different from serving Zhang Yuanmin.
Song Lan stirred the spoon into the basin, and what was served was filled with vegetables, leaving Zhao Jun's bowl with more vegetables and less soup.
When handing the bowl to Zhao Jun, Song Lan smiled and said: "Brother, you eat more vegetables and less soup. Why don't you read the cards with them for a while, and it's time to go to the toilet halfway."
Zhao Jun: "..."
Okay, Song Lan had good intentions, so Zhao Jun didn’t say anything and silently took the bowl and started breaking the chili peppers.
At the same time, Zhao Youcai, who was far away in the Yongxing Brigade, drank all the pickled cabbage soup at the bottom of the bowl, then put the bowl down with his left hand, put down the chopsticks with his right hand, touched his stomach, and smiled at Li Wencai: "Uncle Li.
, this pickled cabbage soup is so hot and refreshing.”
"Are you full?" Li Wencai smiled and said, "You have to eat more if you go up the mountain, otherwise you will be hungry halfway through."
"Well, I haven't eaten less." Zhao Youcai said: "I can't pretend to you. We are running around in the mountains. This meal in the morning is the most important. If you eat well, you can survive until eleven or twelve o'clock in the morning.
Otherwise, you’ll be hungry at ninety o’clock.”
"That's fine." Li Wencai said, "I'll steam those two-faced steamed buns, and you two will get some more later, so you don't go hungry at noon."
"Hey!" Zhao Youcai agreed and went down to the kang. At this time, there were two semi-automatic rifles lying across the edge of the kang.
Either way, Tao Dabao really does things!
This morning, Tao Dabao sent a gun to Zhao Youcai without even waiting for Zhao Youcai to come over. He also brought two semi-automatic rifles and four packs of bullets.
The bullets wrapped in brown paper are five horizontally and five vertically. One pack is twenty-five rounds, and four packs are a hundred rounds.
When Tao Dabao came to deliver the gun, he exchanged greetings with Zhao Youcai and Li Wencai. After Tao Dabao left, looking at the smiling Zhao Youcai, Li Wencai said from the side: "Youcai, your boy is really respectable."<
/p>
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was startled when he heard this, thinking why did he mention that boy again?
Li Wencai pointed at the gun in Zhao Youcai's hand and said: "In all these years since Director Tao came back, the only outsiders who can make our brigade shoot guns are you two!"
These words were indeed good words, but Zhao Youcai felt something was wrong after hearing this. He should be the father protecting his son.
Didn’t they all say that thirty years ago, you respected your son when you looked at your father, and thirty years later you looked at your son and respect your father. Your son is only in his early twenties, and you have traveled all over the world relying on his son’s reputation?
This made Zhao Youcai hold back his energy, thinking that he must create glory again and find Zhao Pao, the flower dog who roared in the mountains and forests back then!
With this belief in mind, Zhao Youcai, who had eaten and drank enough, sat on the edge of the kang and silently tied his leggings. He then took the invasion knife from the old kangqin next to him and pinned it behind his back.
When Li Wencai handed over the dry food, Zhao Youcai took it and handed it to Wang Dalong to pack. After the two of them carried the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, Zhao Youcai went out of the house with Wang Dalong at Li Wencai's instructions and let go of the eight hunting dogs.
, take them straight to the southwest.
Today, during the dog siege, according to the agreement, Zhao Youcai had to bring the Qin brothers with him. The guest house was in the first team, and the Qin brothers were in the seventh team. From the guest house, it took more than 20 minutes to walk, and nearly half an hour to reach the seventh team. p>
If you bring a dog, it will take longer, estimated to be about forty minutes.
So they made an appointment. Zhao Youcai and Wang Dalong would set off on time with their dogs at half past six. Qin Dong, Qin Bei, and the two brothers would arrive at the roadside at seven o'clock, waiting for Zhao Youcai and Wang Dalong to come and meet.<
/p>
When Zhao Youcai and Wang Dalong were about to arrive at the entrance and exit of Team 7, they saw two people standing in front of them from a distance.
Zhao Youcai frowned, squinted his eyes and muttered, "Who is that?"
Among those two people, one is Qin Bei, but the other is not Qin Dong.
This man is 1.8 meters tall, but he has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
At this time, Qinglong and Black Dog, who were leading the way, had already arrived in front of Qin Bei. The two dogs circled around Qin Bei and the man, and then both returned to Zhao Youcai.
When Zhao Youcai approached, Qin Bei came with the man and introduced him to Zhao Youcai: "Uncle Zhao, this is my brother-in-law Li Mingxiang."
After speaking, Qin Bei pointed to Zhao Youcai and Wang Dalong successively, and introduced to Li Mingxiang: "This is Uncle Zhao, and this is brother Wang."
"Uncle Zhao." Li Mingxiang took off his handbag, shook hands with Zhao Youcai, then extended his hand to Wang Dalong and said: "Brother Wang."
"Hey, Brother Li." Wang Dalong held Li Mingxiang's hand, looked at Qin Beidao and said, "Brother Qin, Brother Li is your brother-in-law, so he is my eldest nephew, Master Li?"
This life is a bit chaotic. Zhao Youcai on the side doesn't care about it, but he thinks that the Li Ming in front of him should be the Li Mouse, that is, his little bitch, who Wang Dalong is eyeing.
"Yes!" Qin Bei nodded and said with a smile: "My eldest brother had some work at home today, and he couldn't come. After that, he was afraid that Uncle Zhao would be hunting wild boars and no one would pull him away, so he summoned my brother-in-law.
."
Zhao Youcai didn't think much after hearing this. He just thought that something was really wrong with Qin Dong's family, and then he called Li Mingxiang to take advantage of Qin Dong's share of the meat.
Therefore, Zhao Youcai didn't have anything to say, he just asked a few people to go on their way. After all, they didn't have a car, so they just had to walk on the mountain road for more than ten miles.
At this time, Qin Dong, who had something to do at home, came to a house to the south of his home.
Qin Dong went straight into the courtyard without calling anyone at the entrance. As he entered the courtyard and walked inside, he heard movement near the west wall.
I saw the warehouse door over there was open. Qin Dong quietly went over, leaned on the warehouse door and looked in, and saw a woman closing the cabinet door.
Nowadays, every household has a warehouse, and the warehouses have cabinets nailed with wooden boards. There are doors in the cabinets to store rice, flour and grain. Otherwise, when a fire is lit in winter, the outhouse will be too hot and it will be easy to store too much grain.
However, when storing food in a warehouse, we are afraid of attracting rats and sparrows, so the cabinet doors must be closed tightly.
When this woman closed the cabinet door, her back was facing Qin Dong. She was tall, about 1.7 meters tall, with two long legs and straight legs. She wore an embroidered cotton-padded jacket on her upper body. She was really decent and well-fitting, and could not hide it at all.
Her graceful figure.
The woman clicked the door nose and waited for the lock to be hung up. Qin Dong had already slipped behind her, reached out and slapped the bulge above her leg.
"Pa!"
"Oh my god!" Qin Dong was so sudden that the blow definitely didn't hurt, but it frightened the woman, who immediately turned pale and turned around in a hurry.
The woman turned around and saw that it was Qin Dong. She threw her hands away and hit him. While hitting him, she cursed: "I'm so jealous of you. You scared me to death."
"Hahaha..." Qin Dong didn't hide or fight back. He stood there and let the woman beat him, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't flirt with me, wow, it's so good if you flirt with me."
"Go away!" The woman's face changed, and she lowered her voice and said, "Don't say anything, the child is at home."
"Ah!" When Qin Dong heard this, he quickly whispered: "Ah, the child is not in school?"
"What time is it?" The woman replied angrily at first, then her face softened and she whispered: "You can come back later."
"I'm not coming today." Qin Dong said, "Don't you have something serious to do today?"
"You have something serious to say." The woman rolled her eyes at Qin Dong and said, "You asked me to cheat on you again."
"Sister." Qin Dong approached the woman and said, "Let's take care of this person today. From now on, your family won't be short of meat."
