"Aunt! Aunt!" After running around the house twice, Fugui returned to Lingbao's room again. When he saw his aunt, he hurriedly came forward to greet her.
Panting, he asked: "Auntie, where have you been?"
The little baby put down the things he took out from the space and said with a sweet smile: "Lingbao was hiding under the bed just now. If you didn't find me, I climbed out on my own."
"Auntie is really playing hide-and-seek with me!" Fugui grinned happily, "Now auntie wants to play ghost, I'm going to hide."
After he finished speaking, he ran to his grandma's house and hid in the cupboard.
Lingbao picked up two large glass bottles containing soy sauce and vinegar, as well as a large pack of kraft paper, walked to the door, pretended that he couldn't find anyone, and deliberately said, "Huh? Where is Fugui hiding? Why isn't he here?
Where is it under the bed?”
Fugui, who was hiding in the cabinet, squinted his eyes, covered his mouth and snickered.
"Did you run away?" Lingbao said, "I want to go out and look for you."
She left the room, walked outside the kitchen, put the salt, soy sauce and vinegar next to her second brother, and said, "Second brother, look at these things."
Erhuazi had just stripped off all the eagle's fur, and now he was staring at the two bottles on the ground in a daze, "Lingbao, what are these?"
"Lingbao doesn't know either. I just found it under the bed when Fugui and I were playing hide and seek."
Erhuazi did not doubt Xiao Lingbao's words at all. He opened the lid of a glass bottle and smelled it, "Ah! This is vinegar!"
As he spoke, he opened the cap of another bottle and found soy sauce inside.
The production team also issued soy sauce coupons two years ago. At that time, each person was issued one soy sauce coupon per month, and the coupon was used to supply one catty of soy sauce. However, it only lasted three months and was no longer issued. Only residents in the city were supplied with soy sauce and vinegar.
, the farmers are gone.
It was difficult for everyone to eat a full meal, and to be honest, they were not willing to spend money on seasonings, so they were not angry either.
As for vinegar, the richer families will buy rice to make rice vinegar, but few families in the village are so rich that they are not willing to waste rice to make vinegar.
Compared with eating rice vinegar, people prefer to eat Chinese cabbage as sauerkraut.
Thinking of this randomly, Erhuazi opened the brown paper bag next to the vinegar and saw that it was full of coarse salt. It probably weighed five or six kilograms.
Coarse salt refers to salt that has not been refined and processed. It has distinct grains and is about the size of peanuts. It must be crushed before using salt at home.
These days, almost every household eats this kind of coarse salt, and only supply and marketing cooperatives in big cities sell finely ground salt.
Erhuazi thought that these should be given to Lingbao by the immortal, but the immortal was a bit stingy this time, why didn't he give some fine salt? As fine as the Fuqiang powder given before, this coarse salt looks like a consignment point
There is no difference in what is sold.
Xiao Lingbao ran into the kitchen, looked out the window, and asked, "Second brother, why isn't mother in the kitchen?"
"Ah?" Erhuazi came to his senses from his wild thoughts and replied quickly, "I didn't expect you have salt in your house, Lingbao. Mom just went out to borrow salt."
With that said, he rewrapped the brown paper and wiped his clothes with his hands, "I'm going to find my mother..."
"No need," said the baby girl in a soft voice, "Second brother, you still have to deal with this eagle. Lingbao should go find his mother."
"Well, I guess Mom may have gone to Uncle Guaizi's house across the street."
Lingbao nodded and just ran into the yard when Fugui's voice came from behind him, "Auntie, I was hiding in the cupboard, why didn't you find me?"
"I have to go find my mother now. I don't have time to play hide and seek."
Fugui followed his aunt, "Then let me go with you to find it. Aunt, who is your mother? My mother is at home..."
"Lingbao's mother is Fugui's grandma, otherwise why would you call me aunt?" Lingbao said with a smile.
"Oh, it turns out that my aunt's mother is my grandmother!"
The conversation between the two children was heard by Da Dongzi in the yard. He couldn't help laughing, thinking that he used to think that Fugui was a little too squeamish when he was raised, but now he seems to be quite cute, at least better than Fugui.
His two sons are doing much better.
Thinking that his wife was still staying at her parents' house with her son, he couldn't help but strengthen his hand a little more, and he almost sawed off the handle of the bow.
"Brother, why did you suddenly start making bows?" Erhuazi put the stripped eagle in the basin, squatted outside the kitchen, cleaning the eagle's internal organs, and asked loudly, "Who are you making it for? Shu.
root?"
His eldest brother shook his head, "No, this one was specially made for Lingbao. The two made two days ago were given to Sihaizi and Wuchaozi."
Erhuazi thought that his elder brother had made bows and arrows for him and Sanleizi before, but it had been too long ago and he didn't know which box he had stuffed the bows into.
"Why did you suddenly think of making a bow? I remember, brother, you haven't done carpentry work for a long time, and the saw in the warehouse is rusty."
"Isn't there an extra eagle in the house? How beautiful would it be to make those eagle feathers into arrows? It would be such a waste to throw them away."
"That's true," Erhuazi said with a smile as he recalled the past. "In the past, our arrows were made by secretly picking up chicken feathers from the production team."
As he said this, he looked at the feathers he had just plucked next to him and said, "Make the eagle's feathers into arrows, put them in a quiver, and carry them on your back. It will look good just thinking about it."
"Don't expect me to do it for you again." Dadongzi smiled.
"Haha, I guess the bow you made for me can still be used." After joking for a while, Erhuazi asked, "By the way, where are dad and the third child? Why aren't they at home? The captain just had a meeting.
I saw them coming."
His eldest brother said: "In order to make arrows, they went to chop bamboo."
While the two brothers were chatting, Lingbao pulled her nephew out of the door, and sure enough she saw her mother talking to Uncle Guaizi, who lived opposite.
"My family bought some salt a year ago," Uncle Guaizi said, standing by the door. "How much do you want? Is half a catty enough?"
"That's enough! How much is half a kilo?" Shen Su'e tried to count, "I remember a kilo of salt is 13 cents, right? That half a kilo is..."
Before she could figure it out, a loud voice in the room said: "You can't buy salt with money alone. If you want to buy salt with my family, you have to exchange it for oil or pork belly."
The speaker was Uncle Guaizi's mother. The villagers called her "Wuyan Po" because she had a black birthmark on her right eye.
Because Uncle Kidnapper had been a bachelor without a wife, his father died of illness when he was seven years old, and only he and his mother lived in this house.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Seeing her come out, Uncle Kidnapper hurriedly tried to persuade her to go back, "You are serious, salt can be bought at any time, who would exchange oil and meat for salt?
It’s not like exchanging sugar.”
These days, you need to vote for almost everything. Salt is an exception. You don’t need salt stamps to buy salt. You can buy it with money. Therefore, every household may be short of food, rice, and sugar, but they will not be short of salt.
.
"Huh!" Wuyan Po said angrily, "The Jiang family has taken over all the good things. They cook meat and noodles at home every day. Our house is so close to her house. It's really unlucky. We can smell it every day and can't eat it."
, I’m almost starved to death.”
After saying this, she turned to look at Lingbao who had just come out of the house, pointed at her and said: "If this girl is really a lucky star, how can she make your family prosperous? Shouldn't she also prosper me? So that my son can marry
