I woke up too early in the morning. Even though I had finished planting pumpkins and attended the hospital-wide meeting, it was only after 6 o'clock. There were still more than two hours before I went to work at 8:30 in the morning.
There was nothing to do during these hours, so he simply lit the stove and started cooking.
Prepare to make two portions of rice, one portion for breakfast and the other portion for taking to the factory for lunch.
Bringing rice is not because I dislike the food in the factory. In fact, the food in the factory tastes 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, he is not a complete person of this era, and has experienced 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 bit regretful 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 into a special casserole.
In addition, heat the oil in a pot, add the tomatoes and stir-fry the tomatoes until the soup becomes hot, then put them 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 land allocation plan and divided the land fairly.
It was almost as he imagined. When the courtyard was divided, he was allocated two flower beds at the door.
Since there were not many vegetables, he planned to go to the countryside to buy some seeds.
It just so happened that due to the house being repaired, 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, Brother Ang, 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 responsible for driving: "Team Leader Wang, I'll 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. Members of the production team, please pay attention. The buyers from the Red Star Rolling Mill are here to purchase supplies."
"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 secretly meant, 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?"
"Mom, I want to grow some vegetables, but I don't have any seeds. Can I get some seeds from you?" Zhang Yu was a little shy when it was his first time shopping for things. He wrote several drafts in his mind before he dared to speak.
"Yes, yes, all the seeds at home are here. Whatever seeds you want, you can just get them yourself." After saying that, he smiled proudly: "The seeds here are the most complete in the neighborhood."
Zhang Yu bought a large bag of seeds for 5 cents. Before leaving, the lady dug out some roots of the leek bush that had just been cut in the corner.
"Young man, take these leek roots, plant them back and water them a little, and they will grow again in ten and a half months."
"Thank you, ma'am. Excuse me, how much do these cost?"
"Thank you, thank you. Some leek roots are not a good thing. Take whatever money you want." After saying that, he pushed Zhang Yu out of the door.
Looking at the big bag of seeds in my hand, I once again marveled at your simplicity in this era.
When they got back to the car, the three of them had a tacit understanding and didn't ask each other what they had bought.
Because there were a lot of eggs and other easily broken items in the car, the car drove a little slower on the way back.
We didn't arrive at the factory until around 9 p.m., unloaded the goods, and got the note. Angkor announced that we could have a day off tomorrow.
This is the only advantage of doing shopping. As long as you can get supplies, you can get a lot of rest time.
