I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Alas! It is not good for the coupons and prices to be too low. The average income of the people in the country is too low, and the prices cannot be raised too high.

What a hassle!

Don’t think about it. The country’s military must be strong. This is very important!

It’s more important than the national price!

We are surrounded by enemies on all sides!

There are no friends outside the four seas!

In March this year, you can upgrade to level 10, which allows you to get 20% more supplies. % of supplies is a lot.

We dare not take the big mushroom and the aircraft carrier. Our country will still be weak without the big mushroom.

"Are you going out tomorrow?" Chen Xueru asked.

"I'm going to Uncle Guan's place in the fleet at four o'clock in the afternoon. Do you have anything to do?" Cao Dongfang said.

"Just asking. If you have nothing to do, come over for lunch at noon." Chen Xueru said.

"No problem, just come in the morning and leave in the afternoon. What would you like to eat for lunch tomorrow?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Hou Kui wants to eat fried chicken." Chen Xueru said.

"I'll make two chickens for lunch, and also some fried fish for you to try." Cao Dongfang said.

"Okay, I'll try the fried fish tomorrow to see how it tastes." Chen Xueru said.

.......

At ten o'clock in the morning on the third day of the Lunar New Year, I told Cao's mother that I would come back after dinner and went out to Chen Xueru's house.

"Happy New Year, Uncle Dongfang!" Hou Kui greeted Cao Dongfang immediately when he saw him.

"Happy New Year, Hou Kui! I'll make you fried chicken at noon." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

Fried chicken and fried fish are not difficult to make. Cao Dongfang chose fried sea bass. Sea bass is a bit more expensive, but Cao Dongfang doesn’t care as it doesn’t cost much to him.

Fried foods were rare in that era and oil was hard to buy. Cao Dongfang had more than ten tons of oil, and a lot of it had already been given to the state.

Oil also has a shelf life!

Cao Dongfang's system space is still, which can be guaranteed to never break down!

But others don’t know!

It’s not easy to explain to others, so it’s better to keep fewer and replace a batch every year. Cao Dongfang doesn’t sell oil!

Cao Dongfang has too many supplies in his hands, and anything he sells is better than selling oil. The most important thing is that Cao Dongfang has no use for many of the supplies and will slowly hand them over to the country.

In one year, my own space increased to 6000 cubic meters, with an additional cubic meters, which allowed me to transport more supplies.

Cao Dongfang continued to cook while thinking about things. He didn't want to delay anything else as cooking was more important.

At noon, there were still four dishes and one soup, one fried chicken, one fried fish, one vegetarian dish, one stir-fried sea cucumber with green onions, and one abalone soup.

The staple food is steamed buns!

"Dongfang, this fried fish is also very good. The meat is fragrant and crispy, and it has the unique crispy flavor of fried fish when you eat it." Chen Xueru said.

"If you like it, make it a few more times a month and marinate it. It's not a hassle!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Uncle Dongfang, fried chicken and fried fish are both delicious. I want to eat more." Hou Kui said.

"Freshly fried ones are delicious, but they won't be good once they're heated. Eat more and fry them again when you have time," said Cao Dongfang.

You do it!

"I'll come over and make some fried chicken and fried fish for you when I have time!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Uncle Dongfang is so nice!" Hou Kui said happily.

.......

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Dongfang rode his bicycle to Uncle Guan's house with a lot of bags. The things were the same as last year, with the addition of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

There is also a portion of abalone and sea cucumber, which can be eaten after being fried. Each weighs two kilograms, which is basically enough for a large group of people.

"You have so many bags again. Since you have money, I won't say anything. Go to your Uncle Yu's house and give the things to him. He will do it." Uncle Guan said.

“When we got to Uncle Yu’s place, there weren’t many people there, only adults; the children had all gone out to play.

"Dongfang, no wonder your monthly salary of 440 yuan is not enough. You don't even have to spend one or two yuan to give the children New Year's money. This is the same for people in the compound." Uncle Jiang said.

"My money is not New Year's money, but money for buying gifts for the New Year. People of the same generation don't need to give New Year's money, and you don't need to save it for them to use when they grow up."

Cao Dongfang said, "All the children in the compound get one yuan each, and He Yushui and Cao Jiajia get two yuan each. Buy them some toys."

"Hahaha, it's not that we don't have to save money for the New Year. We used to save it. But Dongfang also needs to save money. He's grown up and it's time to find a wife." Uncle Guan said with a smile.

"I have a lot of money, but the salary of 440 is not enough. I make a lot of money from hunting. If I save some, it will be equivalent to the money saved by the secretary, director and deputy director of the steel mill together." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Yes, will we still go hunting after the New Year?" Bao Shu asked.

"I won't go on the fifth day of the New Year. I'll go to the steel mill later. I have nothing to do before going abroad in late February." Cao Dongfang said.

"It's okay this year. It's the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Sunday, so I have one day less to work," said Uncle Jiang.

"Dongfang, didn't you give Old Man Li a lot of leftovers yesterday? He bragged to us all morning how delicious it was!

I've blown you up to the sky, showing off like that." Bao Shu laughed.

"I gave it to you yesterday afternoon. How did Uncle Li bring it to you?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"We live close to each other, only five alleys away. Sometimes when we take a break, Old Man Li comes over to brag!" said Uncle Guan.

"I didn't know Uncle Li lived here. He has nothing to do and bragging is one of the ways to kill time." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"So you let Old Man Li find a woman, a widow is fine, with one or two children," said Uncle Jiang.

"It's a good thing to help the widow. Uncle Li, go home and have a hot meal and help the widow solve her life problems.

It will reduce the burden on the country. When Mr. Li gets old, his filial children will take care of him.

If the child is not filial, he will go to a nursing home. It’s not a big deal. What if Mr. Li is outstanding at work and kills someone else? That would be great! "Cao Dongfang said.

Guan Shu: "......"

Bao Shu: “…”

Uncle Jiang: “….”

Damn! This is not a bad thing for Old Man Li. His salary is enough to support three more people.

If there really is a child, no matter if it is a boy or a girl, old man Li will be so happy that he won't care whether his step-children are filial or not.

There is no problem with living in a nursing home. It is a good thing no matter how you think about it. Old man Li will just spend a little more money every month, but money is really useless to Old man Li!

There is no relative at home!

I've known Old Man Li for almost ten years, why couldn't we think of this!

"Dongfang, you're awesome!" Uncle Jiang gave a thumbs up.

"This is a really good thing for Old Man Li. His salary of more than 40 yuan is not low, and he also has some subsidies. It is not a small number for four more people. If he really has a child of his own, it will be a great thing for Old Man Li.

These days it's a great thing for widows who have children and don't have proper jobs. Old man Li doesn't need anyone to take care of him, and with one less hand he can do things more slowly.

Dongfang, you have a good brain! "

Uncle Guan said with admiration.

"This is indeed a good thing for old man Li Zhao. At least old man Li will be in good health within the next fifteen years. He still has a job at the steel rolling mill, and his child can take over." Uncle Bao said.

"Then you can help Uncle Li keep an eye out and help him find a widow of similar age. Uncle Li has no problem finding a wife at his age," said Cao Dongfang.

This is possible!

Pay attention!

Old man Li’s second spring!

.......

After eating and drinking at Uncle Yu’s house, I rode my bike back home.

At the dinner table, I heard Bao Shu say that some people here were already starting to starve.

Food coupons were exchanged on the 24th of each month, and on the 15th many families began calculating how much food they needed to eat each day to last until the end of the month.

This is not a big deal. There are other families in the Siheyuan who are like this. Mother Cao has been giving about five kilograms of coarse grains to Grandma Wang, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Li in the front yard every month.

The children are growing up and there is not enough food. We have to save some food every day. Five kilograms of coarse grains are not much, but it can allow two children to eat a few more bites, so there will be no problem by the end of the month.

The one who suffered the most in the Siheyuan was Jia Dongxu. In just a few months, he had obviously lost weight, including Qin Huairu.

Jia Zhang and Bang Geng were the same as always, not a bit thinner.

Vampire Jia Zhang!

Look how she sucks blood when Jia Dongxu has no blood left!

......

On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Sunday, Cao Dongfang did not go out during the day. He had a party with his classmates at Quanjude in the evening, and boasted to Yan Bugui at the door of Yan Bugui's house at noon.

"Dongfang, Nanyi lost less than five kilograms of corn flour last night, and I don't know who stole it.

Nan Yi didn't lock the door after only being out for half an hour. How can the world change!" Yan Bugui shook his head and said.

"Who else could it be? It must be the Jia family. They are the only family in the compound that is short of food. And they can see Nan Yi's every move from home. It won't take a minute to get food.

When I get home, the noodles will be poured out and the noodles bag will be burned. What evidence is there? I will just accept my bad luck," said Cao Dongfang.

"Five pounds of corn flour costs fifty cents, which is Nan Yi's food ration for a week. The Jia family is really lacking in virtue." Yan Bugui said.

“Is her family virtuous?”

"Too!"

"Nan Yi didn't look for the lost things. There weren't many things. He just told everyone to be careful!" Yan Bugui said.

It’s not safe anymore!
