"It's just a coincidence. I didn't expect to be able to purchase these things this time." Zhang Yu's family knew about his family affairs and knew where the two wilted eggs came from, and they were a little embarrassed by Director Wang's praise.
"That's not bad. How much is a lot, if you can make up a little, it's a little." Regarding this point, Director Wang was also a little helpless.
"Uncle Wang, I know there is a relatively remote mountain village. There should be something there." Zhang Yu said tentatively. He learned about that village from a person's memoirs in later generations because it was relatively remote and located in
In the mountains, even some people in those ten years were unwilling to go in. There was water nearby, so it was really not affected much during this period.
"Where?" Director Wang doesn't care whether it is remote or not, as long as he can purchase the supplies, even if he has to recite them bit by bit by himself.
"When I was going to a big market, I met them selling their prey. By chance, they dropped their stuff. I picked it up and returned it to them, and I made friends with them.
I saw them again during the Chinese New Year, chatted with them for a while, and accidentally learned the specific location. Although it is considered to be in Beijing, it is not close to us."
"What's there? As long as there is something, I'm not afraid no matter how far away I am." As he said this, regardless of the fact that it was getting dark, he put on his military coat and asked Zhang Yu to take him there.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry. I haven't been there yet. I just know that they are rich in products and there have been no disasters this year."
"Then I will give you two days off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You take two people to go explore the road. If you can, give me a call and I will find someone to drive there." Director Wang also reacted at this time.
, he was impatient.
"No, Uncle Wang, just give me two days off. I'll go by myself. If there are so many of us, don't think we are looking for trouble." Zhang Yu stopped him.
In fact, he had another idea. He learned from that memoir that the families in that mountain village moved there during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China in order to avoid various taxes and wars.
After that, it wasn’t until the 1980s that one of them went through all kinds of hardships to go to school, and then he brought his family to the outside world and moved out with his family.
Before that, people in the entire mountain village only came out twice a year to exchange the prey for some oil, salt and daily necessities, and outsiders were not very welcome to enter their mountain village.
This would give him a reason to purchase a small amount of supplies from the mountain village, transport them to the outside of the mountain, and then mix in a large portion of the supplies he signed in, and then call the factory to pick them up, so that he could unknowingly take action.
batch things.
"But, your safety..." Director Wang hesitated a little and asked Zhang Yu to go alone. What if something happens?
"It's okay. Besides, there are two friends I know in the mountain village. Even if we can't purchase anything, there won't be any danger." Zhang Yu patted his chest and assured that there are still ways to save his life, especially since there were some people there some time ago.
Sign in and get two life-saving things.
"Okay, you must pay attention to safety."
"I see, Uncle Wang, I was thinking that our factory has extra daily necessities. Their mountain village is in short supply of these things. It will be more useful to bring more daily necessities and exchange them directly with them than to use money."
"That's a good idea. You go back first, and I'll go find the warehouse manager to see how much stuff is left in our factory. You can just come and get it tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then Uncle Wang, I'll leave first."
When he went back, his colleagues also came back. When they came back to do business, they all saw the two big eggs that Zhang Yu had purchased.
"Not bad, it seems you are in charge of purchasing materials." Colleagues also gathered around and joked.
"It's just that I didn't see it. You're a pretty good boy." Wu Chuan put his arm around his shoulders and said with a bit of envy in his words. He had been out for most of the day today, begging his grandpa to sue his grandma, but he didn't get anything.
"Angkor, luck, luck." Zhang Yu still respects this master who has no secrets and is willing to leave everything to him.
"Why can't I encounter such a good thing?" Wu Chuan said with some confusion, but he was still very happy that the people he taught were capable.
After talking for a while, it was almost time to get off work.
Because recently even if you have a ticket, you may not be able to buy food, so many people will pack a meal when they get off work, and then fill up half a pot of water when they get home, and the whole family will eat together to fill their stomachs with water.
I can fall asleep at night.
When he got home from get off work, he deliberately used the excuse of tidying up things to linger for a while, and waited until dark before getting up and getting ready to go home.
The beetle used to hold eggs during the day was put up again. When he put the beetle on his back in previous years, some people asked him: "What are you doing?"
"I have to go shopping tomorrow. If something bad like today happens again, I'll tie it up first to avoid having no place to put it."
"That's what should be tied up, that's what should be tied up." The man smiled and walked away, somewhat unbelieving that he still had such luck.
When there was no one around, Zhang Yu took out 100 kilograms of cornmeal from the space, divided it into two bags and put them in his back, covered with thick straw.
When I got home and went to the courtyard, I occasionally met one or two people. Because most of the people living nearby were workers in the factory, most of them knew that he had purchased two eggs from Beipei. He looked at the straw on them and they all knew
I thought there was nothing inside, but I thought the straw filled with eggs was not taken out during the day to prevent them from being broken.
When I got home, I pushed the bicycle into the house. By this time, my sister-in-law had already prepared dinner.
After taking a look at the food, it was obviously not as good as the previous days. There was a plate of dried vegetables on the table that looked like cabbage.
But it was probably not good cabbage. He remembered that every time he ate cabbage, he would peel off the slightly yellow outer layer. But my sister-in-law was reluctant to part with it, so she would wash the outer layer every time.
Clean and dry it.
He also said not to waste it. It is also a good dish to keep when it is green and yellow. When the time comes to eat this kind of sun-dried vegetables, first soak them in water to soften them and then clean them before cooking.
"Xiaoyu, you're back. Why are you back so late today? Hurry up, wash your hands quickly, and come over to eat. I'm waiting for you." Seeing Zhang Yu coming back, Zhao Guifang hurriedly said, "I've already made these.
Bring a bowl and you can start eating."
Zhao Wenzhuo put the bowl he brought on the table and asked curiously: "Xiaoyu, what is this thing on your car?"
