Stomping Journey (111) 2 in 1 (Stomping Journey (111) has entered winter...)
Return to the journey(111)
The days are not short in winter, and not a single snow has fallen.
Standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up, I couldn't see a single snowflake except for a white hat on the top of the mountain.
The water level of the small river in front of the door is obviously low. In Guanzhong, this year's autumn grain production has been severely reduced. This has resulted in that after the autumn harvest, when it is said that construction will start, people from several surrounding counties come out in groups.
Find a job.
Those who come are all strong laborers, and they don’t need to be paid, just take care of the food. If you save food rations, won’t the old, young, women and children at home have more to eat?
When there are too many people, the eyes become confused.
How to do it?
Joint guarantees between villages, joint guarantees between people. The first is Shannan Town, with Yangjia'ao as the center. We all know the people in this village and know the basics, so there is no problem. People in the town can testify to each other.
Whose family does he belong to, how old is he, who else is in the family, has he been in town or when did he go out, etc.
If people from the surrounding villages want to come, then find someone Yang Jia'ao knows, or an in-law, or a friend, to know that there is indeed someone like you in another village. Taking the village as a unit, everyone who comes can tell you clearly about your village.
I guarantee that there will be no problem with the origins of these people. That’s all!
Why do you do this? The story of the Japs Village has been published in the city newspapers. We are also on guard against the Japs, so we all understand.
One village can guarantee three villages, and this can be extended to the outside.
Under this situation, when winter comes, thousands of people go to the mountains to work. Every day, the stewards of each village go up to look for them, and there are always people who want to work.
So many people need to eat! Lu Shifei is entirely responsible for this matter. As long as you can ensure that so many people have food, you can take care of the rest.
Lu Shifei had been in charge for three days, and he understood the difficulty of taking care of this matter: so many people wanted to eat, and it all cost money! They gave money, but it was not given easily. They just spent money in vain!
With such a small amount of money and such a big project, the bosses can also deceive people, and they have to ask people to watch the movements of these two couples. Isn't this embarrassing? At this time, he really felt that Mr. Lin really had a good temper!
You should be commended for not being sloppy on business matters, just for your attitude of not causing trouble to your superiors on business matters.
Really! If this continues, I won’t be able to bear it anymore.
He came to see Fourth Master in the evening: "...Brother Jin, such a big stall can't handle it like this! No one else can rush it except you!"
The fourth master asked the other party to sit at the Kang table. Lin Yutong stood up and asked the guest, "Eat! Eat first."
Yang Zi turned around and took out bowls and chopsticks, "Mr. Lu, please try it."
It's already late, so this is an extra meal.
Lu Shifei took a look and saw that poverty was like this! Mud houses, thatched huts, and mud stoves in humble houses. From this, it can be seen that the poet's talk of living in the mountains as comfortable is all a lie.
In fact, Lin Yutong thinks it's okay. In troubled times, there is such a place where he can live a stable life and do something he can do. When he has free time, he can sit around the fire and meditate, warming a pot of old wine and drinking. I don't know how comfortable it is.
At this moment, the charcoal under the stove is glowing red, and the vegetables are simmering in the casserole. The aroma is filling the whole house, how good it is.
Lu Shifei took the chopsticks and picked up a piece of the dish. Well, it was quite delicious. It was much more delicious than the food on the small stove.
This is stewed yellow cabbage and tofu. Yellow cabbage is new to Lin Yutong. It uses the outermost layer or two of old cabbage. Pick and wash the old leaves of the old cabbage and carry two buckets to the place where the tofu is ground.
Soy milk. Soak the cabbage sticks in boiling water, and then add soy milk to ferment. Once it is sour, you can eat it. She has never done this before. It is a new thing she has learned since she came here. It is the first time she made it. She made the cabbage sticks from the cabbage grown at home.
I did this with old green vegetables and the like, and made a big jar.
If you are hungry at night, put some lard in a casserole, sauté onions, ginger and garlic until fragrant, put in the yellow cabbage that has been frozen into ice cubes from the kitchen, add water and simmer. Then put tofu vermicelli in, the easiest way
But eating.
The tofu stewed like this is very delicious. Chang Ping likes to eat it very much and often makes it in the evening. If someone comes to talk to Fourth Master, he will do the same thing. All kinds of vegetables are stewed in one pot like this, and it is warm and comfortable to eat.
.
Fourth Master and Tongtong are quite satisfied. Now they are a family of three, and their life is simple and comfortable. Originally, there were outsiders in the family, but now, they must be separated.
Bago and Fang Yun originally came over for dinner every now and then, and no one would go out to see anyone. But Fang Yun seriously said, "We can't continue like this! When construction starts, people will be mixed. The authorities
If you want to send a lot of people to infiltrate, this is difficult to do. But if you win over people, then we will be a little bit unprepared. If you get too close and make people look at you without boundaries, this is not a good thing. The identities of Lao Ji and I
, they are invited to help, and the boundaries between upper and lower should be clear..." This is good for both parties!
As a result, Bago and Fang Yun also lived a small life. Bago was very busy and rarely came back. Fang Yun would rather eat alone than eat here.
Originally, there was Huaizi and Yangzi, and they had always been in such a relationship, and the children were always called uncle and uncle. Ordinarily, even Lu Shifei wouldn't think much about such a relationship. But because of the master-disciple pair, Bago meant,
We'll wait and see for another year or two. But in the short term, it's still appropriate to keep some distance.
Lin Yutong didn't want to call Huaizi and Yang Zi to live at home all the time. Why? It was because of Xiaotong that they recognized him. They need to live together to develop a relationship. In this case, why not call them brother and sister?
How about living together? There is just an old thief named Wu who has recovered from his illness. Let's live together with three people.
Everyone has to work to have food to eat, right?
Huaizi and Xiaodao, together with Tongchui, are in charge of the three thousand guns. They have to select suitable people bit by bit. Within a year, each person can pull up a team of a thousand people to be responsible for the security of the entire Cuishan. That is
Their errand.
The salary is naturally high, and this is what people can afford. Yang Zi is still working as an apprentice here. He comes here during the day and goes back to sleep at night. He eats and drinks here for almost no money. Lin Yutong doesn’t know what Xiaotong wants to do.
, but the master begged Lin Yutong, saying that even if he asked his apprentice to learn how to identify medicinal materials, it would still be a craft. Lin Yutong did not refuse, but he also knew that Ba Ge and Fang Yun would definitely not want Xiaotong to follow them.
Lin Yutong gave a compromise and told Xiaotong: "Gynecology is a big department... When a woman gives birth, many people still don't want a male doctor to enter the delivery room. I'll tell the mute aunt and ask her to take the baby first.
You deliver the baby...you watch from the side. I will teach you slowly later!"
Old Wu thought it was good, and said to Xiaotong in a good voice, "I know you are ambitious, but you are a girl, what do you want to learn? To learn how the Jade Faced Rakshasa kills people?"
Isn’t it possible? “No!” Lao Wu firmly refused, “Birth, old age, illness and death, you need a doctor when you are sick, and of course you need a doctor when you have a child. Then who can’t have children? Go and learn how to treat women’s diseases. Just learn.
If you do this, you will never be hungry for the rest of your life. Being a doctor is not something you learn from studying. If you have seen a lot with the master, you will be able to do it! You go and have a look first...see if you are still scared!"
"I'll go take a look... I won't get paid, and we can eat and drink whatever we want..."
The next day Huaizi took her salary home and kept it all for her, "You have the final say on the household expenses."
"..." This new big brother is really sincere and is not afraid that I will take the money and run away. In fact, I am not very sure about whether I am your sister or not.
Anyway, regardless of the stumbling blocks, the three brothers and sisters lived together like this.
The old thief was not idle either. He got some hay from everywhere, most of which were medicinal materials, which could be exchanged for some money. But Bago felt that it would be better to restrict his freedom by letting him run around. So he came to work for him, "We
There are so many people here, there needs to be a check-in gate at the intersection. Please go over and help guard the gate..."
At the intersection leading to the mountain, build a small adobe house on the roadside, get a clay stove and a small kang, and you can settle down inside.
It was not Lao Wu's job to watch the people coming in and out alone. There was also a one-eyed old man in the town, and the two of them accompanied him and stayed there directly.
Old Wu had such a thief's eye. He could tell at a glance which of the women cooking on the construction site had stolen steamed buns and grain. After three days there, he spotted five. He was speechless at the time, so he turned around and followed
Huaizi said. Bage didn't think there was anything wrong with Lao Wu for the time being, so he just asked him to hang out there and get a salary.
As for Shuanzi, his grandmother is raising two children at home, and Tongtong subsidizes the two children's food allowance every month. In addition, Shuanzi's father is in charge of errands in the accounting office, and it is Shuanzi's father who has the most contact with Lu Shifei. For this kind of
Mr. Accountant, your salary is not low. As for Shuanzi, he still runs errands for the fourth master and supports errands. He is the one who comes in and out of the house the most.
For example, he would prepare firewood and other things at home when he had time. But he would not be at home when eating or sleeping.
Xiaodao and Tongchui are in charge of the construction site on the mountain. They may not go down the mountain for ten and a half months. Huaizi comes back more often, and Tongtong often asks to bring some food to the two of them.
Anyway, if you take a quick look, you will see that this is an ordinary, no more ordinary family with one account.
Nowadays, in the cold weather, we rely on burning firewood to keep warm. What we eat at night is stewed tofu with sour cabbage and clappers. No matter how good it is, it’s still the same thing, right?
Lu Shifei stuffed another chopstick of vermicelli into his mouth, and then said: "Brother Jin... we have to do things, but there is no need to be so miserable. Only children who can cry have milk to eat. It's time to let the people above take a look. Let's go through it."
What are the dates? Keep it a secret, but you have to be generous with your money and food."
The fourth master poured wine for the other party, "I sent a telegram and urged him several times! Mr. Zhang also mentioned it before and asked his nephew to come over. I also thought that I will not touch the money and food. No matter how much the boss gives me, as long as I promise not to
If you delay things, make sure I provide enough supplies to make ends meet, and I won’t be jealous of whoever gets the most out of it..."
Lu Shifei smiled while holding the wine glass, "Brother Jin...you can see clearly!"
The fourth master waved his hand, "I have urged you a few times, but Mr. Zhang has not come over yet. I am afraid that something happened in the middle."
Are you going to replace someone?
The fourth master poured wine into the other party's bowl and said, "Shi Fei, I am mainly in charge of the power plant. The pharmaceutical factory is my Mr. Lin's territory. She is impatient with trivial matters, so I will leave this job to Brother Ji. Speaking of which, the pharmaceutical factory is related to
The other things are actually divided. We still need mines, smelters, and... this matter cannot be managed by one person."
Lu Shifei was stunned for a moment, and then thought deeply. This means that a big butler is needed! This butler can't take care of others, but he can take care of himself.
Sure enough, a few days after saying these words, the higher-ups finally sent someone. They should be the first group of people to stand in front of us. There were not many people, only three of them, but these three all had good backgrounds.
A man named Xin Huguo, who had served as the chief of personal bodyguards of J, was injured and unable to serve as personal bodyguards, so he was assigned such an errand.
One is named Zheng Tiansheng, and he is a distant relative of the Song family. As to what kind of relative he is, there is no way of knowing.
There was another person, even Lin Yutong didn't expect that this person was Bai Xue.
Bai Xue changed her makeup and came with Xin Huguo and Zheng Tiansheng.
Zheng Tiansheng is in his thirties, has a short build, and is dressed like a wealthy businessman. He smiles when he meets everyone. People say that he smiles three-quarters of the time when he meets others, and this guy has a five-cent smile when he meets others.
The car drove all the way to the entrance of the village, and the three people walked to the door of their homes with many gifts in their hands.
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Yutong saw a happy smiling face. As soon as he spoke to him, the other party leaned forward and said, "...Mr. Lin, I can see you. Is Brother Jin at home? My friend, Zheng Tiansheng, has met Brother Jin.
Yuan, I haven’t seen you for a few days, but I feel anxious thinking about it.”
Zheng Tiansheng? Tongtong went through it in her mind and couldn't remember who this person was. If Bai Xue wasn't following him, she really didn't expect that he was sent from above.
Not to mention, his appearance is exactly the same as that of those businessmen. Who would have thought that he would have other missions?
Lin Yutong said a few polite words and invited the three people inside, "...Mr. Zhang had already said that someone was coming, but he never thought it was Xiong. If he had known about it, he should have gone to pick him up."
Don't dare to take it seriously.
As he spoke, he walked across the yard.
At this time, Fourth Master had already come out of the main room to greet him, "It's Brother Zheng. It's been a while since we've seen each other in the capital."
No, that's weird.
In fact, the two of them are not familiar with each other. They just met once. There were many people together, and they were introduced politely. It was good that the Fourth Master could remember his surname Zheng.
Go in and introduce each other, get acquainted with each other again, and sit down separately for the guest and the host.
Yang Zi then brought Chang Ping over to greet the guests, and Tong Tong introduced him as his younger brother and Quan Zi.
When Zheng Tiansheng saw that everyone, big or small, knew how to be polite, he couldn't help but praise them a few times.
Shuanzi came in, poured tea, and stood next to Fourth Master.
Zheng Tiansheng looked at it casually and then said: "It's a thatched hut, but it's also very elegant. No wonder people say that there are masters hidden in the mountains and wild fields. Brother Jin, you and Mr. Lin are both masters. For this errand, I will
I listen to you. You are an expert. Whatever you say should be done, just do it. If you need anything, just tell me. Don’t worry about anything. As long as you want it, I can’t get it. That’s because I, surnamed Zheng, don’t have the ability...
"
The fourth master waved his hand, "Brother Zheng, the power plant is the foundation. I can do the power plant well, and that is enough. As for the rest, you have the final say on how you manage it. It's not that I'm shirk-ing away, it's just that I don't have the resources to do it. Besides,
It’s a matter of confidentiality...Brother Zheng not only has to guard against the Japanese, but also against the G Party…With many people and many hands, things can easily go wrong!"
This means that he has to avoid suspicion.
Zheng Tiansheng laughed and said, "Brother Jin, you are just too cautious."
But he never mentioned asking Fourth Master to take care of this or that.
Lin Yutong didn't have the opportunity to talk to Bai Xue alone. It was just the first simple contact.
They sent him away, but before nightfall, Yang Xianhe's brother-in-law came. His name was Yao Guicai, who was the director of the town's public office.
Nowadays, I often come and go with the fourth master, but this person is not an insider, he is just a well-known gentleman in the surrounding area. He is a minor official, but he has no bad reputation. On the contrary, no matter who he is in the town,
In the village, there are young students who are diligent and motivated, and he is happy to provide money to support such children to study.
Today I brought another two kilograms of pork, "Mr. Lin, I'm going to join you today. I'm craving for the pork belly you made."
Lin Yutong accepted it with a smile, and the Fourth Master invited people inside.
After sitting in the study, Yao Guicai took off his sheepskin coat, took off his dog-skin hat, sat by the stove, and said to Fourth Master: "Brother, tell me the truth, what are the backgrounds of these three new ones?"
.As a result, the office area of the office was completely occupied. The more than ten people in the office were all driven to the concierge to work. This morning, two people came down from Chang'an to accompany these three people. Such a trip
He was personally accompanied by County Magistrate Liu Yang! A banquet is being held at the office now..."
"Then, brother, don't you go with me?"
"My old cousin is with me. He is the mayor of the town. People recognize him." Yao Guicai asked in a low voice, "Brother, tell me the truth. Are there gold and silver mines in our mountains? If not,
Now that we have a big mine, how can so many people come level by level?"
The Fourth Master smiled and said nothing, "Just think that you dug the coal mine for the power plant. It's best if you don't ask anything else. Since I won't tell you the origin, I naturally don't want you to know the origin."
Ouch! Then how old does this have to be?
Yao Guicai's hands were shaking a little when he took the tea handed to him, "...Is this good or bad for our place...?"
It’s not a bad thing! I can find a place for everyone to eat.
The two were talking inside, but Tongtong vaguely heard it from outside. She came out to pick a few dried chili peppers from the hanging red chili pepper strings, and ended up overhearing them.
What do you mean? Lived in the office?! Is this because you want to use the name of mining to deceive others?
When the braised pork is brought in, it is braised pork.
Yao Guicai lit the bowl of meat, "The one made at home is just like stewed meat. It's still authentic. It's the same as what I ate in restaurants outside when I was young." As he said this, he started to get closer to Lin Yutong and said, "...
...Your brother-in-law is very clever. Looking at it in the past two months, it is really rare to see such a young man."
He is talking about Ding Wang, who is now working as an errand in the administrative office.
Ding Wang was busy in the office, and hosting a banquet was not something that could be done simply by setting up a banquet. The director was out, and the person in charge was director Yang Zhonghe.
Yang Zhonghe is currently fawning over County Magistrate Liu Yang. County Magistrate Liu said, "There must be fresh water from the river."
Director Yang immediately agreed, "No problem, Hexian will be ready right away."
So, I had to find a way to prepare river delicacies.
But where are the fresh river fish? Let’s see who has fish. I can get two fish to serve.
Seeing Director Yang's virtue, Ding Wang went over and pulled him over, "Director, yes, there is, but isn't it time-consuming? When it's time to eat, the dishes can't be served, which is ridiculous. Do you think this is okay? I'll watch the preparations.
, I’ll let you decide on the menu after finishing it. We treat guests with local characteristics, which is also our sincerity.”
Chengchengcheng! Hurry up.
Lamb leg, this is available in our own store. Pork is enough.
There is absolutely no shrimp, but fish... there is a place where they do have it.
He called an errand boy, "Go to my store and buy a leg of lamb to deliver to the kitchen. By the way, ask my wife to go to her sister's house. I remember that there are fish in the urn in Mr. Lin's yard."
Woolen cloth……"
Before the errand boy left, he heard someone behind him say, "No need!"
Ding Wang's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look over, and it turned out to be Bai Xue.
Bai Xue smiled at him and said, "Don't bother, it will be good if there are other dishes. As for the fish, don't go and get it. The fish Mr. Lin has is for the children. How can we have the nerve to take it from the children's mouths?"
Grab the food and eat it.”
Ding Wang replied politely, "I'll borrow it for now. I'll just send someone to buy some wild river fish later and send it to Mr. Lin."
"We are not picky people. We will stay here forever in the future. We will just try the local fish another day." After saying that, without giving Ding Wang time to speak, he turned around and went back to the house.
Ding Wang frowned, why is this Bai Xue back again?
He sent the errand boy to buy a leg of mutton, and the fish had to be left alone.
In the mutton restaurant, Ding Sanjia was stoking the fire in the kitchen. When he knew that the office wanted the legs of lamb, he stood up and greeted the guests with a smile, "There are indeed legs of lamb! There are also sheep heads and hooves, and they have been processed..."
The errand boy didn't dare to pick it up, so he just asked for a leg of lamb.
But as soon as the errand boy left, Ding Sanjia called to Hong Tao, "Put the sheep's head and hooves in a basket and send them over."
Hongtao felt distressed, "This... how do you charge me?"
Aunt Ding laughed and said, "Don't be too impatient. Ding Wang is a foreigner and works here as an errand. He has to convince everyone that he can do this job, so he has to keep everyone's mouths shut. This sheep's head and sheep's hooves are not for distinguished guests."
, even if you ask the kitchen to make soup, there are so many people in the office, and one person can't even take a few bites."
Then he took the heart peach, but as soon as he arrived, he was stopped by Ding Wang, "Why are you here?"
Send something!
Ding Wang took it in his hand and said, "You are not allowed to come in or out of here casually. If you need anything, I will ask someone to get it. Don't keep coming in."
It's because the distinguished guests are here and it's not convenient for outsiders to come in and out.
Hong Tao handed over the basket without saying anything else. She was afraid of causing trouble to Ding Wang, so she left quickly.
But as soon as he came out, he met Bai Xue coming out of the women's toilet outside, "Bai...Miss Bai...haven't you already left?"
Bai Xue nodded, "Is she sister-in-law?" She smiled and passed by Hong Tao, "I have an errand, you do yours." After saying that, she went directly into the office.
Hong Tao's expression changed, and she stood outside and stared at Bai Xue's back. Watching her enter the gate, she saw Ding Wang chasing Miss Bai with something in his hand.
This incident made her feel uncomfortable, and she even had a smile on her face when she returned home.
As soon as Aunt Ding saw it, she put down the knife in her hand and asked her, "What's wrong? Did Ding Wang talk about you again?"
No! It's that Bai Xue, whose ghost is still there, following him everywhere.
Aunt Ding was stunned for a moment, "Baixue...you said that Miss Bai is here again?"
No!
Aunt Ding looked at Old Ding and said, "You have to talk about Ding Wang."
"Maybe he has something serious to do, nothing else." Ding Sanjia raised his head as he spoke, "We can't ask about this matter. If you are worried, Hong Tao, go to your third sister's house and ask, look at Bai Bai
Where is the lady from?"
Hong Tao grabbed two big bones without removing the meat, and cut some of the processed haggis into pieces, "Then I'll go to my sister's house and ask..."
