Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Frankly speaking, this matter is no longer just the Zeng family's business. Whether for public or private reasons, it has risen to the level of two villages.

However, Zeng Wangcai is very clear that, at least from the perspective of his second uncle's family, the private aspect still accounts for the majority.

Those young men outside are the more respectable people in the village. There are more than a dozen of them, and they have brothers at home. If you want them to help you fight, you can't just incite them with your words. The emperor has plenty of hungry soldiers.

He planned to hold a mobilization meeting later and give out some benefits, so he couldn't just stand there now.

So Zeng Wangcai pulled Zhang Xiuzhi into the house. The grandmother did not get involved in what was happening outside, but tried her best to help her eldest grandson guard his pocket. In her opinion, there was nothing to say about fighting, so just fight. If the eldest grandson was bullied, the old woman could also help, and the treasure brought back by the eldest grandson could not be lost.

The four maids did not go out either, but helped to guard the pockets.

"Brother, no one opened your pocket. We are helping grandma watch it!" Zeng Yinhuan said as if she was presenting a treasure.

Zeng Wangcai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He thought, grandma must be looking at you little greedy cats.

"grandmother!"

"Grandson, did you suffer any loss? I just heard that my granddaughter-in-law was almost bullied by someone? The bastard was called Zhu Ermao..."

"grandmother......"

Zhang Xiuzhi stretched out the words, feeling a little embarrassed. It was okay for Zeng Wangcai to call her "future daughter-in-law" just now, but that was in front of outsiders. Now her grandmother was calling her again, and she felt a little overwhelmed.

"Why are you shy? My eldest grandson has said outside that you are his future daughter-in-law, so doesn't that mean you are my granddaughter-in-law?" Grandma smiled slyly, revealing a mouthful of crooked teeth. "Anyway, I've made up my mind. You are the future daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson of our Zeng family, haha..."

Zhang Xiuzhi was speechless and simply hid in the kitchen.

Speaking of marriage, Zeng Xiaohuan suddenly said to Zeng Erya proudly, "Sister Erya, big brother...big brother has a wife, you can't...be big brother's...wife."

"I want to be my big brother's concubine..." Zeng Erya stared at her pocket without blinking and said, "My big brother is so capable, what's so great about marrying another wife? My dad said that in the early days, all men had concubines..."

What a sin, you damn Zeng Laosan, I was just praising you for educating the young people in the village, now, my praise was in vain.

Zeng Wangcai glanced towards the kitchen.

Grandma smiled but didn't say anything. I don't know whether she agreed with Zeng Laosan's statement in her heart.

There were still people waiting outside. Zeng Wangcai opened his pocket. Inside were the supplies he had prepared. He took them out from the space when he entered the village. If he hadn't met the brothers Goudan and Gousheng, it would have been difficult for him to carry them back.

Among the supplies, food is the basis as usual, 50 kilograms of cornmeal, which is the minimum configuration given by Zeng Wangcai, and he cannot take more; white flour has been increased to 10 kilograms, and he plans to wait until the transition period is over and everyone accepts his current image as a rich man before using white flour as the main ingredient and cornmeal as a supplement; 5 kilograms of rapeseed oil and some seasonings, which he brought back home last time and have not been used up yet. Now in Sijiu City, the kitchen at home is already fully equipped.

Apart from that, there was no meat in terms of food and drink, because Zeng Wangcai came back this time just to get these, so there was no need to bring any.

Then there were the rare things. Zeng Wangcai took them out one by one: "Grandma, this is milk powder. You drink one cup every day. It is nutritious. I will tell Xiuzhi how to make it. Let the three sisters drink one cup every day as well."

"Milk powder? What is milk powder?" Grandma is old and doesn't understand these things.

So Zeng Wangcai explained to her what milk powder is.

Finally, grandma concluded: "It's just the powder of dried milk produced by cows. I won't drink this stuff. You are so grown up, and you still drink milk, just like your father. Give it to Xiaoya, and also give some to the second and eldest girls. They will never grow well..."

As she chattered, a grandmother's love for her grandchildren was revealed.

Zeng Wangcai didn't want to explain and planned to ask Zhang Xiuzhi to find a way to coax grandma to drink.

"Brother, is the milk powder... delicious?" Zeng Xiaohuan asked while licking her lips.

It’s something new again, and the little greedy cat is hungry after seeing it.

No matter how many words are used to describe or describe food, it is empty and powerless, and it will only arouse people's greed.

Zeng Wangcai directly opened the sealed jar and let the little sister dip her finger in it to taste it.

"Brother, it's delicious... just like... a cream popsicle, so sweet..." Zeng Xiaohuan's eyes turned into crescents as she smiled.

Zeng Jinhuan and Zeng Yinhuan behaved well and did not take any action. They would not take any action unless their eldest brother told them to do so. But they knew that their eldest brother would definitely give the order.

"What are you waiting for? You three should try it too." Zeng Wangcai said with a smile. The three he mentioned included Zeng Erya.

The three girls tasted the milk powder happily. Zeng Erya said while holding her finger, "Brother, you can marry Erya as your concubine. This way, Erya will have milk powder to eat every day."

Well, a ten-year-old girl has such a plan, her future is limitless, you have saved yourself decades of detours...

Zeng Wangcai was speechless.

Grandma looked at this harmonious scene with a smile on her face. She felt that it didn't matter whether there was milk powder or not, as long as everyone in the family was happy. Her eldest grandson had the ability to make people happy.

Next, Zeng Wangcai continued to take treasures, including the indispensable White Rabbit milk candies and chocolate beans that no one recognized. Everyone was given a chocolate bean, and grandma was not spared either, as she had bad teeth, so she had to chew them slowly.

Finally, the food was taken away, and there was still some cloth, not a lot, which was used for grandma to do needlework. The old woman couldn't sit still, and if she was not allowed to do some needlework, she would do other physical work.

"This cloth is good. Grandma will make shoe uppers for you." Grandma touched the cloth and became happier.

As for shoes, Zeng Wangcai is not without a solution. The ones in the space cannot be used, but he can buy them with money. But to be honest, after wearing cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles, AJ and Nike are really not good enough.

"Grandma, you are so kind!" Zeng Wangcai patted her on the forehead. "Thank you for your hard work. Xiaoqiang and Laifu have no shoes to wear. I will give the sizes to Xiuzhi later and you can help make them."

"Grandma can't do it alone, let your wife help me."

"Okay, I'll talk to her!"

All the things have been taken out, and the rest is no longer Zeng Wangcai's business. There is a treasure in the family, so all these things belong to grandma.

Zeng Wangcai walked into the kitchen with a few chocolate beans and found Zhang Xiuzhi fiddling with the brine.

"Come on, open your mouth, here's your reward!"

"I don't want you to feed me!" Zhang Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at Zeng Wangcai. "I was just giving you face just now. Don't say that kind of thing in the future. I haven't agreed to marry you yet."

"If you don't marry me, who are you going to marry? Tell me, I'm going to beat him to death. At the very least, I'm going to kick him like Zhu Damao."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Xiuzhi was amused: "You idiot..."

The two chatted for a while, Zeng Wangcai gave Zhang Xiuzhi some chocolate beans, and Zhang Xiuzhi fished out a braised fish for Zeng Wangcai.

A small bird, rosy in color and fragrant.

"What is that?" Zeng Wangcai asked.

"Queque'er, eat quickly, and then serve it to everyone else."

Little bird?

Zeng Wangcai looked at him strangely and said, "Auntie, could you please call sparrows in Mandarin next time? This can easily lead to misunderstandings."

It is indeed a sparrow. It now lives in flocks and is one of the four pests. It has not yet been rehabilitated. It is also a common meat and can be captured with a simple trap.

For example, in Zengzhuang, half-grown children would use buckets and basins at home, a rope and a wooden stick to make traps to catch sparrows, but the results were very low and were far less successful than Zhang Xiuzhi's.

But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is how the sparrows are cooked. Zhang Xiuzhi uses the braising recipe given by Zeng Wangcai to braise the sparrows, and the taste is so delicious.

Zeng Wangcai ate a sparrow with skin and bones included. Zhang Xiuzhi had already put a lot of it in a basket, and he took it out, intending to let the villagers taste it.

Wow, a basket of sparrows was brought out, the aroma of the brine spread, and everyone stopped talking immediately.

Braised sparrow is so delicious!
