Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 10

When approaching the courtyard, Zhang Yu found a dead end, and took out the things he wanted to take home from the system this time.

There is very little fresh pork in this season. In order not to attract attention, he took out two pieces of bacon about 5 catties each, two catties of sausages, about ten pieces, and two old hens.

Zhang Yuzhi will take out these two chickens. He can say that when he was watching TV dramas before, he was too impressed with the scene made by Xu Damao.

It can also be said that these cured meats were made when the villagers slaughtered pigs years ago, and they have been kept until now.

It was taken out because money was needed.

It may be the reason why he wants to grow taller during this time. Recently, he always feels that his legs are cramping, so he took out a small bucket of milk. There are many people in the family, so he can definitely drink it in one day. Can be used for other things.

Zhang Yu returned home satisfied with the big and small bags. This procurement task finally gave him a reason to subsidize his family.

When someone asked, they said that they were found in the countryside to find someone to buy and exchange. Now the inspection is not so strict, and things are allowed to be exchanged.

"Gu, I'm back."

The door was not closed, and my sister-in-law sat at the door waiting for him, and stood up hastily when she saw him.

"What did you do, come back so late." Seeing her nephew came back, Zhang Guifang felt relieved.

"Auntie, Angkor took me to the countryside temporarily to participate in the procurement task today. Because the time is tight, I didn't have time to tell you."

"You've only been at work for a few days, why did you go out to do the shopping?"

"The procurement task this time is relatively simple, so Angkor wants to take me to see and learn." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he passed the things in his hand to Zhang Guifang: "Gu, please take the things in my hand. "

Looking at his big bags and small bags, he still held two cages in his hand: "What are you bringing? So many?"

"After the purchase task was completed today, seeing that it was still early, Angkor and the others went to find someone to buy and change things. I felt that if I was idle, I was idle, so I went with them. This is what I gained today." Zhang Yu said He then showed Zhang Guifang what was in his hand.

Seeing something sticking out of his hand, Zhang Guifang quickly pulled him into the room together with the things in his hand, and then quickly closed the door.

Just now he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked in disbelief: "You bought these?"

"Of course, sister, look at how good these two pieces of bacon and sausage look. They smell only of fragrance and nothing else." He said and put the bacon in his hand to the tip of Zhang Guifang's nose.

Zhang Guifang smelled it carefully, and there was only the smell of meat and aniseed ingredients. You must know that knowledge in this era is not circulated enough, unlike the Internet in later generations, a lot of knowledge will be circulated online, so people in later generations think that this knowledge is no big deal.

In this day and age, secret recipes are still very important. Many secret recipes are passed on to men but not to women, and they would rather be lost than spread casually.

In many places, the method of marinating the cured meat is usually very simple, just put salt on it and hang it, so there will always be some cured cured meat that is not well cured and smells a little strange.

My sister-in-law touched and touched everything that Zhang Yu brought, thinking about where it went.

The two hens received the best treatment, and my sister-in-law urged my uncle to nail the chicken coop with wooden boards overnight, and made a food bowl for them from an old bowl that was never willing to be discarded.Zhao Wenzhuo had to exaggerate at the beginning, but when he saw the two eggs he picked up from the nest the next day, he felt really delicious again!
Only half of the bacon and sausage is left, and the rest is going to be used for the greenhouse banquet, and the several of them plan to hold it together.

I was still worrying about what to cook, but now I have the main dish, and I can prepare a few meat dishes for the rest.

As for the milk brought back, Zhang Guifang was not willing to take it out, but divided it among Zhang Yu and his children.

In Zhang Guifang's eyes, milk is a good thing.

Since the supply dwindled, the supply of milk on the streets has often been intermittent and much less than before.

Zhang Guifang originally thought that her nephew was not in good health, so she gave him some more, but Zhang Yu refused on the grounds that it would be too hot to drink until tomorrow.

In order not to waste, several people drank milk to fill their stomachs, and then covered their stomachs with great enjoyment, discussing how to make housewarming wine, how many people to invite, how many dishes to cook, who to invite and who not to invite.

Zhang Yu happened to have a rest tomorrow, so he also participated in it. He put forward his own opinion on which chef should be invited to cook.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that He Yuzhu from the yard next door has graduated from the teacher, and is now working as a cook in the cafeteria of the Red Star Rail Steel Factory. How is the relationship between people, who might be jealous of him, who will frame him...

"He Yuzhu, who is it?"

"It's the one who lives in the main room in the courtyard next door, and the one who lives with a girl." Zhang Yu reminded.

"Oh, you're talking about silly Zhu. I'm used to hearing silly Zhu. When I suddenly called out my name, I couldn't react for a while."

Zhang Guifang patted his forehead and continued, "I just know that his father, He Daqing, is good at cooking, especially the Tan family dishes, but I don't know how many layers he has learned?"

"I feel okay. I have eaten his dishes in the cafeteria a few times, and the taste is okay." Zhang Yu is still very confident in He Yuzhu's craftsmanship.

"Alright then, I'll go to the next yard to find him later and ask if he accepts the job."

After discussing the warming banquet, Zhang Yu turned the topic to the courtyard next door. To be honest, he was always curious about the courtyard next door.

"Sister-in-law, I always feel that the courtyard next door is weird, why don't you tell me?"

"You are still young, what are you doing asking about this?" Zhang Guifang sighed looking at the expectant eyes, "Forget it, you have reached the age when you should be in charge of your own affairs, so let me tell you, so as not to be tricked, But if you know some things, you are not allowed to say it casually.”

"We promise not to speak out, sister-in-law, tell me quickly." In order to please Zhang Guifang, the others made a pot of tea and brought it to her.

"Actually, only a few old neighbors who have been living here know about this matter. Take the silly Zhu just now as an example. Why did his father run away in the first place? He really liked the white widow. Wouldn't it be enough to marry him? Baocheng!"

Zhang Guifang took a sip and continued: "You must know that Tan's cuisine is one of the official dishes. Tan's cuisine is the family banquet of Tan Zongjun, a bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty. Because it was the second place in the second year of Tongzhi, it is also called the "No.The ingredients are very precious, and ordinary people can't afford them. Think about it, did He Daqing only cook banquets for ordinary people before the founding of the People's Republic of China?

Not only for ordinary people, but for whom?So before dividing the division, he ran away with the widow, leaving a good division for He Yuzhu. "

"The few uncles in the courtyard were set up by the street office and various courtyards when the police resources were insufficient in the early years.

In the beginning, it was to prevent enemy agents. At that time, people who walked around the alleys would be stopped and interrogated. If you look down inside the compound, it is more convenient to have a manager in charge of the management.
Some trivial matters can be solved in the courtyard, saving police force.

After that, I stayed, but the one in the courtyard next door is a bit special. Zhang Guifang's eyes were full of strangeness when thinking of some strange things that happened in the next-door courtyard over the years.

"If you want to say that the most troublesome one is the Jia family, after the man in his family went away in an accident, the Jia Zhang family organized a group of people to go to the factory to make trouble.

In order to look good, the factory not only lost money, but also kept the job for Jia Dongxu, but in fact, the man from the Jia family didn't die on duty at all, it happened because he took a private job halfway.

And he also took over his job from his uncle's family at the beginning. After his uncle had an accident, the children in the family were young, so Jia Dongxu's father could only take over.

Before the succession, it was agreed that the child would be let back when he was old enough, but you have also seen that now Jia Dongxu is the successor, and his uncle’s child has come to make trouble several times, and finally the factory coordinated and gave it to another branch factory The number of places suppressed this matter. "
