Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

This period was not long. Xu Dacan later heard from the elders that it was probably between the summer of 64 and the winter of 65.

At that time, a strange phenomenon appeared in the market. First, one day, the counters of the grocery stores were filled with pig heads, pig trotters, pig tails, and pig offal, as if by magic...

Not only is the supply open and sold at prices lower than the market price, but there is also no quantity limit and no tickets are required!

At this time, the people's enthusiasm for buying was completely ignited.

At that time, when you walked on the street, you could often see people carrying a pig's head, or a basket of pig's trotters or pig's tails, happily heading home.

That’s not all. When the housewives gathered together to exchange ideas on how to better cook the pig’s head, trotters and tail;

The counter of the grocery store was once again filled with slices of frozen, hard pork!

There is still no limit on the quantity sold, and they are sold with the skin and bones.

This is real pork! As a result, the people's consumption enthusiasm was once again mobilized, and they bought large pieces.

What's worse, some even carry back whole pieces of pork...

The salesmen didn't even need knives to cut the meat. They all turned into Li Kui and directly swung the axe to chop the hard frozen pork!

But as the sales went on, something went wrong.

Not only is there no sign of pork being out of stock in grocery stores, but sales are actually increasing!

Large trucks kept unloading the meat, which was then piled up layer by layer and covered with large quilts to prevent it from melting.

But at this time, fewer people buy meat. At this time, the people are generally not rich, and they have indulged in their appetites a while ago, so everyone starts to live frugally again.

Everyone was wondering, where did all the pork come from?

It turns out that our country's economy has improved rapidly in the past two years, and the breeding and purchase of live pigs have increased dramatically.

In particular, some pork that was supposed to be exported was suddenly returned, which resulted in the storage capacity of the country's cold storage reaching saturation.

The pork that was frozen in the past must be taken out and digested as soon as possible before fresh pork can be stored.

A lot of the pork sold on the market has been stored in cold storage for two or three years, so isn’t it that more and more pork is being sold?

At this time, a call was issued from above, requiring the majority of cadres and workers, especially cadres, to take the lead in actively purchasing patriotic meat.

Each unit held a mobilization meeting, assigned tasks, and formulated various preferential policies.

Not only has the price dropped directly to 55 cents per pound, but you can also buy on credit and have the money deducted from your salary every month.

Therefore, buying and eating meat at this time is to help the public solve problems. This is also the reason why the word "patriotism" is added in front of the meat.

This period did not last too long, and soon the supply of pork returned to normal.

The normal state here means that pork can be bought at the counter at any time, but if you want to buy more, you are not allowed to do so. The supply is limited according to the population, and this limit has lasted for more than ten years.

Patriotic meat is a very special situation that appeared in a specific historical period and is essentially an accidental event.

And this past event disappeared in the long river of history with the passage of time and was gradually forgotten by people.

"..."

Back in the yard, Damao also got up. When he saw him, he looked unhappy: "Where have you been? You didn't come back for lunch. Your sister-in-law and I waited for you in vain."

Oh, this is really his fault. Xu Dacan quickly explained: "Brother, I went to the post office to send a telegram to my father. When I came out, I passed by Beixinqiao and saw a Luzhu restaurant."

Damao was happy, showing an "I understand" expression. Xu Dacan struck while the iron was hot: "I've always heard how delicious this stew is, so I couldn't help but have a bowl."

"Are you used to eating this?" Xu Damao looked curious.

Xu Dacan answered without hesitation: "It's delicious. Although the lung tastes weird, it's acceptable."

Xu Damao laughed out loud, his eyes rolling around: "We have another snack here, if you don't try it, you've come here for nothing!"

"What? Is it roast duck?" Xu Dacan looked very curious.

Damao nodded, "Of course roast duck counts, but what I'm talking about is more special than roast duck. Have you heard of bean juice?"

This guy is really not a good person...

Although Xu Dacan has never drunk soy milk himself, he has seen it!

Later, various celebrities on that short video platform rushed to Jingye's house to challenge Douzhi.

Take a sip and you’ll be free from the mask of pain!

Xu Damao actually tried to trick him into drinking soy milk and eating bamboo shoots.

As the two talked, Damao also felt hungry, and he said to Xu Dacan: "Wait until your sister-in-law comes back, I will take you to Donglaishun, and we will eat mutton hotpot tonight!"

Shabu-shabu mutton, I've heard of its fame for a long time.

Before traveling through time, Xu Dacan always heard the elders in his family say how authentic the copper pot shabu-shabu mutton of Jingye's family was seventy or eighty years ago, and how it couldn't be compared to it now...

Here comes the opportunity. It’s even earlier than what he said, it’s mutton hotpot from 1965. I just want to ask you, who among you has eaten it?

While talking, Xu Dacan did not forget: "By the way, brother, I bought a hen and put it in the cage."

Xu Damao got anxious when he heard this: "What? You're going to hit me in the face, right?"

Xu Dacan advised: "We lost a chicken, so I'll buy a replacement and make it my contribution to this family."

Xu Damao's beard was shaking with anger. "Every wrong has its perpetrator! Really? Shazhu stole our chicken, how can I let you spend money? You haven't even earned your salary yet!"

Xu Dacan argued with him: "There is no conflict. You should think that I helped you find the chicken first, and then let Shazhu compensate us for the chicken, and then you give me the money. Is that right?"

Xu Damao then gave up and went to the central courtyard to squat like an idiot with gritted teeth.

"..."

After a while, Xu Dacan heard the yard becoming noisy.

Sure enough, Xu Damao came back in a panic and shouted at him, "Dacan, hurry up and follow me. How dare Shazhu, that bastard, deny it!"

Xu Dacan followed him to the central courtyard, and sure enough, the second uncle had been moved out by Damao, and was questioning Sha Zhu.

At this moment, Sha Zhu really wanted to drag Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong out to the sun to bask in the sun!

As soon as he saw Xu Dacan, he was even more anxious: "Great, Xu Damao, you finally found a backer this time, right? What do you want to do by calling this guy? Don't call outsiders, come here, I'm standing here, if you are a man, come over, let's practice alone!"

Xu Damao was used to being bullied by Sha Zhu, and after being frightened by him, he really showed some signs of being timid: "Sha Zhu, I'm warning you, now is not the time for you to do anything wrong! You better compensate me for my chicken!"
