"Isn't it been too hot recently? I couldn't buy a fan, so I went to buy parts and assemble one." The young man proudly announced to everyone in the courtyard and passed the fan across the open road.
"Amazing, amazing." Everyone was very envious of the fan assembled by Zhang Yu. However, although they were envious, they did not have any ill intentions. After all, they only said that private sales were not allowed, but they did not say that they were not allowed to assemble it themselves.
If someone has the ability, what else can you say? The most important thing is that since you can assemble one, you can assemble the second one, and it will always be useful to others.
Zhang Guifang was even more happy about the fan that Zhang Yu assembled. She stood at the door without going in, waiting for someone to ask her, and then proudly replied: "If my Xiaoyu had not assembled a fan by himself, I would have said no."
, let him use it himself, he insisted on giving me the first one."
Then I couldn't close my mouth when I heard others praising Zhang Yu for his filial piety, and even said words that seemed modest.
Since there was only one motor, the other fan had to wait until he could buy the motor another day before assembling it.
Then he took out the sandpaper and started polishing the frame. When my sister-in-law saw it, she asked her cousin to take his place and asked, "What are you doing with a frame?"
"Gu, I want to save a bicycle."
"I'll give you your uncle's bicycle first. I'll ask who has a bicycle ticket and exchange it for you to buy a new one." Zhang Guifang thought that her nephew was working now and sometimes needed to go shopping. It was time to give it to him.
He bought a bicycle.
"Sister-in-law, no, don't look at the rust on the frame, but I saw that the frame is made of good materials, polish it, and then apply a layer of paint to make sure it looks the same as the new one." Zhang Yu quickly stopped Zhang Guifang and asked for it.
The new one is in his system space, but he can't figure out how to find it.
Nowadays, bicycles are big items. Each bicycle has a serial number and needs to be stamped at the police station.
For bicycles purchased by individuals, you need to obtain a "Bicycle License" and a license plate with an invoice. Only by having these two things can you prove that your bicycle was obtained through legitimate channels.
He assembled the vehicle and still doesn’t know how to handle it?
At this time, Zhao Wenzhuo came home from get off work and said, "Uncle, you are back just now."
Zhao Wenzhuo put the things in his hands on the table, turned to look at Zhang Yu and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I went to the scrapyard today and happened to see a bicycle rack. I tried it on and found that it was full of good materials. I just wanted to save a bicycle myself."
As he said this, he scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean to think that finding a bicycle ticket would be troublesome and expensive, but it would be nice if I could save a little on my life. The most important bicycle rack is here, and I see there are even storage boxes on it.
Chain cranksets are also available. Wheels, chains, handlebars, etc. can also be purchased at car repair shops.”
"Speaking of which, I took advantage this time. I guess the people at the scrapyard didn't expect that the car only had a lot of rust on the outside. After polishing it, there was nothing wrong with it on the inside."
He took a breath, looked at Zhao Wenzhuo slightly nervously and said, "I can assemble the car at night, but I don't know, can I break the steel seal on the car I assemble?"
Zhao Wenzhuo waved his hand: "This is a small problem. You assemble it first today. After assembling it, take the receipt from the scrap station and the purchase certificate from the car repair shop. I will get it done for you when I go to work."
After listening to his words, he and his eldest cousin Zhao Feng went to several car repair shops one after another and gathered two car wheels at home.
After returning home, several cousins took turns polishing it, and finally installed the vehicle before going to bed at night and applied a layer of paint. It didn't look brand new, but it was still seven to eight percent new.
After riding it for two laps, it was no different from a normal vehicle before I put it back.
The next day, before going to work, he signed in for today.
"The system starts signing in today."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You will receive five yuan in cash and ten pounds of pork suet."
He felt very happy about this check-in. It happened that yesterday he got a fan and a bicycle at home and bought some meat to celebrate. He has not used the meat slices this month.
When he was buying meat, he happened to buy a small piece of fat. He carried the fat into the kitchen openly and openly under the envious eyes of others.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I prepared to refine this piece of pork into oil. Adding the ten pounds of pork suet that I signed in for today, I can make a lot of oil.
Open the kitchen window a little, and be sure to let everyone in the yard know that you are refining lard today, so that you will have an excuse to eat lard in the future. After all, no one will check how much is in your oil tank or how much you will eat at one time.
He added a little water to the pot, which he learned from a friend in his previous life. The lard produced in this way is not easy to burn and is whiter.
The water gradually disappeared, and the scent of lard spread in the courtyard, causing people who lacked water to swallow involuntarily.
When it's almost done, he scoops out the lard, but the remaining pork isn't as dry as it was cooked.
Because more oil was refined this time, there was naturally more lard residue. Taking out so much lard residue at once would obviously tell others that something was wrong.
Divide the lard residue into three parts, scoop one large part into a jar with some oil, and use it for cooking later. Sprinkle some salt on the other part and take it out later to serve as a meal to your uncle. The last part
, prepare to make some buns.
I checked the time and it was around 7 o'clock, not too late. It was just right for dinner now.
Scoop out five spoonfuls of noodles from the vat, add a little cornmeal, it looks a lot yellower, and a bowl of noodles is full.
I chopped the oil residue into pieces and put in a chopped cabbage. I happened to see a few kilograms of dried shrimps in the system space, so I grabbed a handful and put them in the stuffing.
After looking at it, I felt that there was still not enough oil and water, so I scooped two more spoonfuls of lard and put it in.
Add seasonings such as onion, ginger, and pepper powder, and finally add salt. After adjusting the taste, smell it before calling my sister-in-law over with satisfaction.
My sister-in-law was wrapping the buns quickly while saying, "Why do you eat so much bread in the summer? If you can't finish it, it will taste bad the next day."
"Sister-in-law, it's okay. I've finished eating, and I have other uses for half of it."
After hearing her nephew say that it had other uses, Zhang Guifang stopped nagging her, and she stopped asking about its specific functions. When her children grow up, they have their own ideas and their own society, and they can't keep everything in their hands at home.
Moreover, since my nephew got well last time, he has changed a lot and can make his own decisions.
She saw how her nephew behaved during this period and was very satisfied with it, so she slowly handed over the affairs of the Zhang family to her nephew.
Regarding the changes in his sister-in-law, Zhang Yu also noticed them and kept them in his heart during this period. During this period, his sister-in-law always mentioned the past events inadvertently and left them to his family connections.
Five large pots were packed, but luckily I had some space left when I renovated the kitchen some time ago.
In addition to the kitchen utensils I have purchased for various reasons during this period, the kitchen has become much easier to use.
Opening the steamer, steaming steamed buns come into view. The plump and white buns make people particularly greedy.
For dinner, Zhang Yu gave up his aunt's idea of cooking and served three steamed buns.
One steamer basket contains 20 large steamed buns. Zhang Yu thought there would be a lot left over from 60 steamed buns.
As a result, after one meal, the seven people had wiped out more than two and a half cages.
The eldest cousin ate eleven by himself, and even the cousin with the smallest appetite ate six in one go. You must know that these are not small buns, each bun is bigger than an adult's fist.
He once again saw the appetite of people in this era.
Zhao Wenzhuo, on the other hand, ate a sip of lard residue, drank a sip of wine, and watched the children playing and playing, living a very happy life.
After we got married, we agreed to raise our little nephew. Many people nominally defended him, but in fact they tried to provoke him to cause trouble.
It is said that he indulged his wife in raising his little nephew, which led to troubles in the future. For so many years, Zhang Yu was another son to him and a member of the family.
My son is not in good health, how could he not have some partial pain?
Now it turns out that Zhang Yu is a good boy. At this age, he has begun to enjoy his son's filial piety.
Look around the courtyard, who doesn't envy him? His little nephew never forgets to bring something for him every time he goes out.
Don't say whether the things are good or bad, just the kindness makes people feel that everything is worth it and makes their hearts warm.
Whenever I cook something delicious, my nephew will bring it over.
Secretly put the remaining two cages of steaming buns into the secret space. It would be good to use them for breakfast or something later.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yu steamed rice. Yesterday when he was refining lard, he wanted to eat lard bibimbap, so he steamed a large pot of rice early this morning.
Put the hot rice just out of the pot into a large bowl, then dig a hole in the middle of the rice and put a spoonful of the lard cooked yesterday. Overnight, the lard has turned into a milky white solid.
Pour on a small spoonful of soy sauce, add some chopped oil residue, and sprinkle with some chopped green onion.
Soon, the lard gradually melted in the heat of the rice, and the soy sauce blended into the rice. Stir evenly. Every grain of white rice wrapped in lard and soy sauce was mixed with chopped oil residue, giving it an attractive color.
I couldn't wait to take a big bite and chewed slowly. Although it was just simple lard and soy sauce, it felt extremely sweet.
As he continued to eat, his eldest cousin came over smelling the aroma and said, "Xiaoyu, what are you eating?"
"Lard is mixed with rice. The rice is in the pot. If you want to eat it, hurry up and put it in it." Ever since Zhang Yu started cooking, several cousins would come to eat from time to time.
My sister-in-law is in charge of the finances at home, so she lives a relatively frugal life. Her cousins all have their salaries, and apart from paying part of their living expenses, they all keep it for themselves. So I often buy some things, cook them at his place, and leave some for him.
share.
Make the food and then bring it home, chop it first and then serve it, so you don't have to worry. My sister-in-law will store the bought things and save them for the holidays.
When Zhao Feng heard this, he didn't care. He took out the bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen cabinet and filled a bowl of rice.
"Hey, Xiaoyu, your cooking is much better than my mother's." Zhao Feng took a big mouthful and turned to say.
"I think it's not my cooking that tastes good, but the rice and lard that tastes good, right?" Zhang Yubai glared at him.
Zhao Feng just smiled, said nothing, and kept grabbing the rice.
After eating, I checked the time. It was already 7:30, half an hour before going to work at 8 o'clock.
He didn't even have time to clean up the bowl, so he put it on the table, put away his clothes, turned to his eldest cousin and said, "Brother, I'm too late to go to work. You can help me pack my things later, and just lock the door."
Zhao Feng continued to work hard and waved his hand: "Leave it to me."
He rushed to the logistics department in a hurry and took over this week's tasks. After all, he had not been working for long, so he could only take over a week's work at a time.
At first, it was said that he would be allowed to sit in the office first, but it would not be good for him to continue to have the relationship with Uncle Wang, and it would be bad for people to talk about Uncle Wang's selfishness.
Therefore, after learning almost enough, Zhang Yu took the initiative to apply for purchasing.
The job content is to purchase food, and a minimum goal is given. Of course, the more purchased, the better.
Even though I thought it would be difficult for him to reach his goal and it was unlikely that he would exceed it, we still gave him an extra purchase order.
According to the place written on the list, I went to the slaughterhouse. After entering, I handed the list to the director of the slaughterhouse.
After getting the pork smoothly, we went to the sugar factory and the soy sauce factory, and walked around in turn.
During this process, Zhang Yu tried to collect as much product information as possible.
Although he is not familiar with these commodity price information, he will seriously learn from others what he does not know.
After looking at the purchasing tasks, only vegetables were left. I thought this was the best item to purchase, but I didn’t expect that something went wrong in this item.
Maybe he missed the time and there were not so many vegetables in the vegetable market.
Logically speaking, every day's vegetables will be sent to the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in the morning, and this batch of vegetables is a subsidy at the factory's own expense.
Including pork, these are all purchased by the factory as subsidies for workers who work overtime this week.
Seeing the not-so-fresh vegetables left here, he simply went to the last purchasing brigade. It had been many days since the last time, and the new batch of vegetables and eggs should be about the same.
When I went to Zhang Yu to buy vegetables, I happened to encounter a pig slaughtering in the village. One of the pigs broke its leg while jumping over the wall to escape. The leg injury never healed well, and I didn't eat much. It was about to fall off the scale.
So the village decided to sell it. Now that it happened, it would not be missed.
The production team I went to this time was located near Beijing and had a large number of people, so the team actually had a telephone.
Immediately borrowed a phone and dialed the number of the Logistics Purchasing Department: "Hello, hello, this is Zhang Yu from the Logistics Department. Please call Director Wang of the Logistics Department."
After waiting for a while, the call came back.
"Hey, what's the matter with Xiaoyu?" Uncle Wang asked very eagerly, fearing that something might happen to his comrade's child under his nose.
"Uncle Wang, I was purchasing downstairs today, and there happened to be an injured pig downstairs that I wanted to kill today. It hadn't been sent to the market yet, but I happened to bump into it. I just wanted to ask, does our factory need to purchase it?"
"If you want it, Xiaoyu, tell the team leader to keep it for our factory, and I will take someone there right away." As soon as he heard that there was pork, Director Wang, whose hair had turned gray due to procurement difficulties recently, immediately asked him to stay.
The captain was overjoyed when he heard that they all wanted it. After all, it was a bad year and the people in the village were not willing to spend money to buy meat.
