Zhang Yu looked at the things he had on hand. He had almost spent more than 200 yuan on building a house this time.
Originally, it didn't cost much to renovate a house of this size, but the tile pipes used for toilet sewerage, with glaze on the inside and outside, were the best substitutes he could find in this era, and they cost a lot.
In addition, in order to strengthen the structure of the house, he bought a lot of good wood to use as support, which was another sum of money. Finally, he also used the best quality he could find for other bits and pieces.
, so I spent more than 200 on two trips.
As a result, he was not very well off before and only had a few money in his bankbook, but he would not touch the money in it unless necessary.
In addition, there were cash rewards for sign-in from the system during this period. Zhang Yu counted them and found that there were about eighty yuan.
His current monthly salary is 27.5 yuan, but with the subsidy from the sign-in system, he probably won’t use his salary.
I now eat with my sister-in-law and her family, but occasionally I cook it myself.
Before going to work, he said that he had to pay living expenses. After all, he was already working to earn money and was considered an adult.
But my aunt and uncle refused to agree, and said that their salary was enough to support several children.
As time slowly passed, the noise in the courtyard, the sound of cooking, and the voices calling children gradually disappeared, and finally turned into silence.
Only a few scattered lights were left, adding a little warmth to this dark world.
The chirping of insects and birds outside the window seemed to add music to the lights, making the night outside the window not so monotonous.
With the moonlight outside the window, Zhang Yu fell into a deep sleep, but he did not see that the moonlight outside the window was intercepted when it passed through his bed.
Silks of moonlight seeped into his body with every breath he took.
Under the influence of this strand of moonlight, the fragments of the secret space in the body began to gradually expand. However, due to insufficient energy, the expansion speed was very small.
Although 99% of the energy in the moonlight was absorbed by the secret realm, as the carrier of the moonlight's flow, he still gained great benefits.
These moonlights will slowly transform his body in the coming days, making his body healthier and his brain smarter.
The most important thing is that his genes will be gradually improved to make his genes more excellent, and these excellent genes will be selectively passed on to improve the qualifications of his offspring.
The next day, Zhang Yu woke up early. Although he only slept for less than five hours, he felt refreshed and felt very comfortable.
The physical burden caused by poor health in the past suddenly disappeared a lot.
Although he didn't understand the reason why all this happened, as long as the result was good.
Zhang Yu got up, washed his face, brushed his teeth, and washed his hands carefully, trying to improve his luck.
After all, in the first two days of signing in, I basically didn’t win anything. I only won two cents and ten buckets of cow dung.
Ten buckets of cow dung surprised him, and he realized that it was true that anything could be drawn in the lottery, but it might have been set up with some probabilities that he didn't know about, so most of the things drawn were in line with this
Items needed for daily life.
Although it is rare, there is still a chance of drawing some strange things.
Zhang Yu washed his face, sat upright on the bed, and took a deep breath: "System, start signing in today."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You signed in today and received a critical hit. You will get 100 yuan in cash, 50 kilograms of beef, 50 kilograms of apples, 50 kilograms of tomatoes, 1 pack of mixed improved planting seeds, and 10 copies of plant growth medicine."
Seeing this, Zhang Yu was overjoyed. Sure enough, washing his hands worked, and he actually got a critical hit.
Skipping the others for now, he kept his eyes fixed on the last two prizes.
After reading the introduction carefully, I found that the mixed plant seeds above are improved seeds in the 21st century. There is no limit to the type, and there is a mix of 100 seeds.
He was very surprised, considering that the country's crop yields in the 1950s and 1960s were not high, let alone compared to later generations.
From the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the 1980s, grain production was always insufficient, and farmers suffered greatly.
Now that we have these seeds, even if there are only one or two varieties that can be used as staple food supplements, it will greatly improve everyone's life.
Thinking of this, he quickly took out the packet of seeds from the system space and carefully identified the seeds inside.
Zhang Yu was a little lucky to see these seeds. Fortunately, he grew up in a rural area in his previous life, otherwise he would not even be able to recognize what these seeds were.
Through careful identification, Zhang Yu found that most of the 100 seeds were vegetable seeds, with only five watermelon seeds and ten pumpkin seeds.
And these ten pumpkin seeds don't look like the same variety.
Although Zhang Yu was a little disappointed when he saw these pumpkin seeds, they were not staple food seeds.
But then I thought about it, the yield of pumpkin is quite high, it is also very filling and tastes good.
Even ordinary pumpkins can produce more than 3,000 kilograms per acre; if special planting methods are used, such as hanging on poles, they can even produce 10,000 kilograms per acre.
Moreover, later generations of pumpkins are very sweet and have good palatability.
Unlike those unimproved agricultural practices in the 1950s, take sweet potatoes as an example. Sweet potatoes in the 1950s had a lot of fiber and didn't taste very good.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu could no longer sit still. There happened to be two flower beds 1 meter wide and 3 meters long in front of his door.
I heard from the elders in the courtyard that the reason why this courtyard is so unique has a lot to do with the warlord who built it.
That warlord was obviously a rough guy, but he still wanted to be arty.
He just wanted to learn, but he also liked to add his own style. As a result, this courtyard house was built with four different images.
Not only is it taller than an ordinary courtyard house, but the distance between rooms is twice that of an ordinary courtyard house. There are also built flower beds in front of each room.
But when everyone moved in, the flowers in the yard had already been destroyed.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The people who moved in later were too busy with their daily lives and had no time or inclination to take care of the flower beds, so they naturally became increasingly neglected.
Zhang Yu wanted to plant something inside, but he was dumbfounded when he was digging the ground. How could he dig it without tools?
After searching for a long time, I still found two tools from Mr. Sun that had been piled up for a long time.
Loosen and level the soil, sprinkle all the spinach on it, and add three of each type of watermelon seeds and two types of pumpkin seeds.
The reason why I didn't finish the planting was because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it, so I wanted to leave a few seeds as a way out.
After watering, looking at the flower beds in front of each house, Zhang Yu suddenly had another idea. He just happened to discuss it with Mr. Sun while returning the tools.
"Master, are you at home? I'm coming in."
"Here, is it Xiaoyu? Come in quickly, come in quickly."
"Master, please sit down. I came here first to return the tools, and secondly to ask if the flower beds in front of our houses can be used to grow some vegetables or something to fill our stomachs."
After hearing what he said, Mr. Sun patted his calf: "Uncle Zhao and I were only thinking about the lack of food and insufficient supplies. Yesterday we were discussing where to go to get some food. Why didn't we think of growing some ourselves?
Just grow some vegetables!”
With that said, he hurriedly took him to find Uncle Zhao and explained his proposal just now.
Uncle Zhao also patted his thigh: "Why not? Our yard happens to be quite large. If we add the corners, we can plant a lot of things. I will go and notify everyone of the meeting."
A meeting was held in the yard and reported to the sub-district office for approval.
The land vacated in the yard was quickly allocated to each household without affecting traffic.
I woke up too early in the morning. Even though I had finished planting pumpkins and attended the hospital-wide meeting, it was still only after 6 o'clock. There was still more than an hour before I went to work at 7:30 in the morning.
There was nothing to do during these hours, so he simply lit the stove and started cooking.
I plan to make two portions of rice, one for breakfast and the other for taking to the factory for lunch.
The reason why I brought rice was not because I disliked the food in the factory. In fact, the food in the factory tasted pretty good, much better than what ordinary people cook.
But Dazao is Dazao after all, even in this era, it is already considered profitable.
But after all, Zhang Yu is not completely from this era, and has seen the cooking of later generations, so for him, the oil and water are still a little lacking, and it does not suit his taste.
I happened to sign in for beef and tomatoes in the morning, and I still have a few potatoes at home. I’m going to make a tomato, beef and potato stew. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.
First cut the beef into small pieces, wash the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces, peel the potatoes and cut them into small pieces and set aside.
Although it is a pity that the system signed in is not beef brisket, but it is good to eat some. Furthermore, although it is not beef brisket, the meat quality is very good and very fresh, so the step of blanching is omitted.
Put oil in the pot, heat the oil, add beef and light soy sauce, stir-fry evenly and put it in a special casserole.
In addition, heat the oil in a pan, add the tomatoes and stir-fry until the soup is made, then put it into the casserole as well.
Just by heating up the pot twice, if outsiders saw it, they would probably scold him for being wasteful.
After checking that there was less water in the casserole, I added some more water and added seasonings, potatoes and dried chili peppers.
After simmering for more than 40 minutes, it is ready to be eaten.
When the meat was stewed, the aroma was overflowing. In order to let fewer people smell the aroma of the meat, he made preparations when renovating it. The entire kitchen was sealed tightly. In order to seal the kitchen, he spent a lot of money.
I hired an experienced craftsman for 30 yuan.
Although the price is high, Zhang Yu thinks it is very worth it and there is basically no smell.
This laid the foundation for him to eat meat in the future. Although the people in the courtyard are all good, he doesn't want to test human nature. Some things are better if they can be avoided in the first place.
Serve a bowl of freshly steamed rice, pour a ladle of thick soup over it, and top it with stewed beef and potatoes.
Mix it up, scoop it up with a spoon and swallow it in a big mouthful. The sour and sweet tomatoes, the denseness of the potatoes, and the softness of the beef are all mixed together perfectly.
He brought half of the freshly cooked dishes to his sister-in-law. She praised his craftsmanship and said that he was wasting it. He could just use the meat to replenish his body. Why did he bring so much?
Zhang Yu smiled, said nothing, made an excuse, and hurried back to his room before the meal was finished.
It has to be said that the actions of some of the elders in the courtyard were really fast. Within just one and a half hours of cooking and eating, they had quickly come up with a plan to allocate the land fairly.
It was almost as he imagined. When the courtyard was divided, he was allocated two flower beds at the entrance.
Since there were not many vegetables, he planned to go to the countryside to buy some seeds.
It happened that because of the house repairs, there was to be a warm house wine at home, so he volunteered to purchase the necessary supplies. He just used this as an excuse to mix in some of the things he got from signing in.
I originally wanted to wait for the holiday, but I didn't expect that I had an unexpected surprise when I got to work today.
As soon as he got to work, Brother Wu walked to his desk and said, "Xiaoyu, clean up and come out with me later. I still have some work to do in purchasing this week. I just opened a letter of introduction and went to the countryside to check it out.
Let’s see if we can purchase some supplies. If you follow me, I will teach you some things you need to pay attention to during the purchasing process. I will let you do some small things while I watch from the side, just so you can practice them.”
"Okay, Angkor, I've packed it up." Zhang Yu looked at the lunch box he was carrying and muttered to himself, thinking that he was predicting the future.
The two of them opened the letter of introduction and went to find a Taipei truck. Wu Chuan Xiaoyu handed a cigarette to the driver in charge of driving: "Team Leader Wang, I will trouble you this time."
"It's all for work. Besides, aren't the materials you purchased being consumed by the whole factory? I'm also using the materials I purchased." Team Leader Wang put the cigarette in his ear: "Get in the car, we happen to be free now, let's go quickly.
Return."
Several people chatted non-stop along the way, and soon they arrived at a nearby village.
After handing the letter of introduction and certificate to the team leader, the team leader cheerfully turned on the loudspeaker: "Every member of the production team, please pay attention. Everyone, please pay attention. The buyers from the Red Star Rolling Mill are here to purchase materials."
"The purchase price is as follows, eggs are 4.8 cents per catty, pork is 7.8 cents per catty, vegetables are 3 cents per catty..." After hearing the news, the team members quickly ran home and took out the eggs that had been accumulated at home for a long time.
You know, even if you travel a long way to send it to the supply and marketing cooperative, each egg only costs about five cents, and the supply and marketing agency will only choose the larger ones.
Now when someone comes to purchase, the price has increased a lot, and the price is calculated by the pound, regardless of the size.
"Auntie, there are two kilograms in total. This is 9.6 cents. Please keep it."
"Auntie, there are three kilograms of eggs and 20 kilograms of vegetables. The eggs are 1 yuan and 4 cents, and the vegetables are 6 cents. The total is 2 yuan and 4 cents."
…
…
For more than an hour, team members kept coming, and Zhang Yu kept repeating the work at hand until his throat became hoarse.
I kept weighing and counting the money and shouting loudly. Finally, when it was getting dark, no one came.
Looking at the harvest in the car, Wu Chuan couldn't help but nodded and said with a satisfied smile: "I'm lucky this time. I didn't expect there to be so much inventory in the village. More than half of this month's quota has been completed."
Then he turned to look at the driver and Zhang Yu and said: "There is still a little time left, we still have half an hour, and we will be free to move around during this half hour."
Understanding what he meant secretly, Zhang Yu and the driver both smiled, and then each chose a direction.
Zhang Yu came to the door of a house with a relatively large courtyard: "Is anyone home?"
"Here, what's the matter?" The lady who opened the door looked at her and said, "Isn't this the guy who collected the things just now? What's the matter?"
