60s: I have a store

Chapter 89 Potato Stewed Goose

After Zhou Zhixiong installed a stool leg, he brushed the sawdust off his hands.

"Sixteenth brother, are you going to install the door?" He had already guessed why Zhou Yimin came.

Zhou Yimin nodded: "Yes! It's almost done, so I came to take a look."

"Okay, I just oiled it yesterday. I put it over by the house to dry!" Zhou Zhixiong said. In today's weather, it should have dried up a long time ago. If you want to use it, just move it back and install it.

He added, "It's a bit heavy. You definitely can't move it by yourself. Let Zhiming bring some people over."

If the Sixteenth Brother was asked to carry the two doors back, wouldn't his great-uncle come and scold him? Not to mention him, even if his father was still alive, he would still scold him.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell Brother Zhiming.

By the way, Brother Zhixiong, do you have enough wood? I want to make two big wardrobes. "Zhou Yimin plans to make one for his grandparents as well, as their clothes are stored in boxes.

Before that, he took a box from his grandfather to grow bean sprouts.

He has not forgotten this.

"It's not enough. Go talk to Zhicheng. He must have some more." As a carpenter, Zhou Zhixiong was familiar with the wood in his "cousin's" house.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "What are the requirements for the wardrobe?"

Zhou Yimin quickly put forward his requirements for the wardrobe. Zhou Zhixiong had never made a wardrobe with sliding doors, so it was a bit challenging.

"Use wooden wheels?" Zhou Zhixiong asked.

"No, I will provide those accessories." Zhou Yimin shook his head.

"That's fine. It's not too difficult."

Zhou Yimin didn't even need to draw a picture. He just knew the approximate size after hearing it.

"Thank you, Brother Zhixiong!"

Zhou Zhixiong was both amused and annoyed: "My family should thank you!"

Zhou Yimin was very happy to create something for him.

Zhou Yimin turned around and went to Dachun's house, which was not far away.

Dachun, his father, his brother, and his new wife were not at home. Only Dachun's grandma and grandpa were there.

No need to guess, he definitely hasn't finished work yet.

"Old man, please inform Brother Zhicheng for me and ask him to pick out some good rosewood and send it to the carpenter." Zhou Yimin said to the two old men.

Dachun's grandma and grandpa knew Zhou Yimin. Since they lived in this village, there was no reason for them not to know Zhou Yimin.

Furthermore, this person has done a favor to his son-in-law's family.

"Okay! I'll tell him when they get back from work later. Come in and have a drink of water?"

"No, no. Goodbye, old man!"

After watching Zhou Yimin leave, the old man said, "Such an outstanding young man, we need to let Dachun and the others get closer to their sixteenth uncle in the future."

Although the relationship is not very close, it will naturally become closer as you interact more.

If you have relatives like this, why don't you get closer to them? Wouldn't that be stupid?

They heard that Zhou Yimin arranged for a nephew from the village to work in the factory. Strictly speaking, Dachun and the others were also Zhou Yimin's nephews!

Everyone has a chance.

Especially Dachun’s younger brother Daqiu, his health is not that good. It would be best if he could go to the city to work.

"Yes! Especially Daqiu. It's just that it's hard to get the money to buy a job. Old man, how much money do we have left? Let's pool our money together!" asked the old lady.

They didn't move to their son-in-law's place with nothing. They had some savings accumulated over the years.

"86 yuan. When Zhicheng comes back, I'll talk to him and help Daqiu find a job so he doesn't have to work in the countryside anymore." The old man nodded. Daqiu's body is not suitable for being a farmer. It would be best for him to study and then become a cadre.

They also noticed that Daqiu was a kid who read books and studied on his own.

Before Zhou Yimin returned home, he could smell the delicious aroma of stewed goose.

When I got home, I heard my third aunt talking to my grandmother. She told her that there was a movie showing at the Red Star Commune tonight and asked if the old lady wanted to go and see it.

Although the old lady is old, she loves to join in the fun.

Normally, she would not miss activities like watching movies. Even if it was a bit far, she would just follow the majority of people in the village.

"Go! What movie is showing? Have you asked clearly?" asked the old lady.

"I don't know, it seems to have been spread by Dazhong. I heard that he plans to go to the Red Star Commune to purchase..." Third Aunt was gossiping to the old lady.

Zhou Yimin didn't expect that his grandmother also liked going to the movies.

Originally, he was not very interested in movies of this era. After being used to watching movies of later generations, he might not be able to watch movies of this era.

It is said that the projectionist has to explain the content while operating.

Speaking of projectionists, they are one of the eight major positions and one of the most enviable professions.

The so-called eight major members are salesperson, driver, postman, childcare worker, barber, projectionist, cook, and art troupe members.

Not only was the projectionist's salary high at that time, but when people invited him to watch a movie, he would also be treated to good cigarettes, tea, wine and meat.

Some projectionists even had others deliver the equipment for projecting movies. All they had to do was hold a cigarette in their mouths and operate the machine leisurely.

Not everyone can be a projectionist. At least you need some skills and culture.

It's not just the skills to operate the machine. Movie projectors these days rely entirely on the projectionist for daily maintenance.

That projector was considered high-tech in that era, and there were not many people who could properly store and use it.

Therefore, they basically need to know something about film technology.

A projectionist without good skills will not be able to show a movie smoothly.

In short, projectionists in this era were very popular. Just look at Xu Damao in a certain courtyard TV series and you will know that he lived a very comfortable life.

It’s nothing like later times, where everything is played automatically and projectionists have become obsolete.

This is a bit like being a driver. You not only have to know how to drive, but also how to repair the car, maintain the vehicle and so on.

Hearing that his grandmother also wanted to go to the movies, Zhou Yimin planned to eat early tonight and then take his grandmother to the Red Star Commune on his bicycle.

Let’s also go and enjoy the movies of this era.

Zhou Yimin went to the kitchen, mixed a small bowl of cornmeal, kneaded the dough into a pancake shape, and stuck it to the edge of the iron pan.

I didn’t eat lunch. I just had goose stewed with potatoes and some corn cakes.

Pancakes made of pure cornmeal are still very delicious, unlike cornmeal, which has crushed corn cobs in it and will naturally irritate the throat.

On the other side, there was a pot of sorghum rice, which was for Zhou Zhiming and others who were building the house.

"Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Zhou Yimin said to the fire-making boy.

Seeing that he was sweating while making fire, Zhou Yimin added: "Wash your hair too, got it?"

"I know, big brother." Lai Cai rushed out.

If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain! Especially for a child like him, who is in the growth stage, he always feels hungry and cannot eat enough.
