I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!
Chapter 23: So annoying! Energy conservation!
I rode my bike back to the courtyard with He Yushui. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the third uncle watering the flowers in front of his house again.
Seeing Cao Dongfang and He Yushui, he asked, "What were you two doing out so early in the morning?"
"Hello, Third Uncle."
"Hello, Third Uncle."
Cao Dongfang and He Yushui both greeted the Third Uncle. Basic courtesy should be observed. This has nothing to do with the Third Uncle's character, but is a matter of one's upbringing.
"Uncle, I took Yu Shui to the library to borrow two books. You go ahead and do your work. We'll go back and see you later." Cao Dongfang said.
"East, see you in the rain."
"Goodbye, Uncle."
Two children!
The third uncle is not shameless enough to ask the children for things.
"This good day of rain has come, and the Cao family is not stingy." The third uncle said in a low voice.
"Uncle Third doesn't get tired of guarding the gate every day. How would he have time if we don't have holidays?" He Yushui said with a pout.
"Time is Uncle Sanye's business. We don't need to worry about him," said Cao Dongfang.
He Yuyu nodded.
.......
I read until half past eleven. Cao Dongfang put down the book and said, "Yushui, I'm going to buy food. You wait for me at home."
After saying that, Cao Dongfang took two lunch boxes and put them into his big schoolbag, walked out of the house, and prepared to buy two dishes and four steamed buns to eat.
In 53, there were many stalls selling steamed buns, but unfortunately Dongfang was just pretending. He would never buy steamed buns from a stall, let alone buy vegetables in a restaurant.
Cao Dongfang pretended to take a walk outside and then returned to the courtyard.
I bought a serving of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried pork with celery, and four steamed buns from the system.
The prices were really cheap at that time. A serving of shredded pork with Beijing sauce cost 45 cents, stir-fried pork with celery cost 38 cents, four white flour steamed buns cost 40 cents, and a whole meal cost one dollar and 18 cents.
Many people can’t afford to eat even if it’s cheap!
There are too many poor people!
Rainwater eating!
Cao Dongfang didn't use plates, but directly used lunch boxes, so he had to wash two fewer plates.
"Brother Dongfang, this is too luxurious. Both of them are staple dishes, and a whole meal costs more than one dollar." He Yushui said reluctantly.
"Eat, I'm going to go hunting tomorrow. I earned over 30 dollars yesterday, so money isn't a problem anymore!
Eat more good food and you won’t get sick. This is the real way to save money. Eat more. "Cao Dongfang said.
"I understand." He Yushui also craved meat, but he would rather spend more money than Cao Dongfang.
"Will it be enough for us to make a chicken stewed with mushrooms, a cold cucumber dish and a cold tomato dish tonight?" asked Cao Dongfang.
"That's enough." He Yushui said.
"Have a meal!"
.......
This meal is really solid. There are 300 grams of pure lean meat in the Beijing-style shredded pork. Lean meat is not valuable and there is no need to put so much. The celery fried meat is also large in quantity and uses lean meat. So the price is not expensive.
In the past, each large lunch box was filled with most of the food, leaving a lot for dinner.
Everyone had a good meal tonight.
But I really don’t know how to make a fire. Should I ask Widow Chen to help me make a fire? I have to make it look good. Cao Dongfang was not from Northeast China in his previous life, but he liked chicken stewed with mushrooms very much.
The origin of chicken stewed with mushrooms is also very much in line with the life atmosphere of the Northeast Baishan Black Soil. It is made by stewing dried mushrooms, chicken and vermicelli together.
The best mushrooms to choose for stewing chicken are wild hazel mushrooms, the kind with thin stems and small caps. Hazel mushrooms can bring out the freshness and fragrance of the chicken to the greatest extent.
A veritable mountain delicacy.
It is one of the few northeastern dishes that can be developed into a home-style dish that can compete with other high-end cuisines.
Oh, it’s so troublesome to cook a meal. I’d better ask the system for advice on how to make a fire.
It seems that I must learn how to make fire and cook, otherwise I will be exposed one day.
I have grown up and have to help with housework.
In the 50s, many men didn't know how to do basic tasks like making a fire and cooking. Most men knew how to make a fire, but many men didn't know how to cook. Cao Dongfang's father, Cao Dashan, didn't know how to cook.
Cao Dongfang has traveled here and there are many things he doesn't know how to do.
There is not even natural gas in this era. Although I didn’t know how to cook in my previous life, I know how to use natural gas and I can fry eggs. It’s so embarrassing that I can’t even make a fire here.
"Yushui, go back to sleep if you're sleepy. Come over for dinner before six o'clock." Cao Dongfang said.
“Okay, Brother Dongfang.”
He Yushui returned home, and Cao Dongfang began to read books about cars that he had borrowed from the library.
I had driving experience in my previous life, although it was a small car, but by reading the book, I could understand the contents of the book to some extent. There was only theory, no practice.
.......
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Dongfang made a fire and cooked according to the method taught by the system intelligence.
It was really not difficult to make a fire. Cao Dongfang did it in one go. After five minutes, even the coal inside was burning red.
I put a big pot and started putting various ingredients and seasonings in step by step according to the intelligent steps of the system. If there were any that were not available at home, I would buy them from the system. If I bought some more and kept them at home, it meant I bought them from outside.
There is a seasoning market!
The pot boiled, the lid was put on, and the food was simmered over low heat. Under the intelligent command of the system in Cao Dongfang's sea of consciousness, he did a very good job and did not look like someone who was cooking for the first time.
The rice will be cooked soon. The Cao family has only one stove, and the chicken and mushroom stew will be ready before five o'clock. Then we can cook the rice. As for the coarse grains, they are too coarse to be eaten.
Whole grains are really coarse!
Cao Dongfang has seen corn stubble. One-third of the corn kernels are still there. What the hell——
I would rather die than eat it.
Cao Dongfang moved a small orange, sat in the kitchen and started reading a book. The chicken was stewing with mushrooms, and Cao Dongfang was reading the whole time, but he didn't expect the fire to go out halfway.
At half past four, Cao Dongfang washed the rice and prepared to steam it after the chicken and mushroom stew were done.
My rice cooker!
Just plug it in and it's ready. I miss it so much.
In any case, things have been progressing in all aspects in later generations, and living conditions are much better than in the 50s. This must be acknowledged.
......
"Tongzi, there's something wrong with you. Your conscience is very bad. You can teach me how to cook!
Is there any other knowledge you can teach me? Why don't you tell me? "Cao Dongfang suddenly thought of the system intelligence teaching him how to cook.
Very good teaching.
Just like a top chef teaching his apprentice!
Cao Dongfang learns very quickly, very good!
Other things, such as... Bear language, knowledge about cars and car repair skills, as well as assembly, television, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, etc., if the system intelligence can teach him, then -
I will be omnipotent!
It’s not easy to find a good teacher!
"Master, don't blame me. Master didn't tell me, and I don't know what Master needs to learn.
I will only teach you carefully if you are willing to learn," said the system intelligence.
It is also helpless!
"So, you know a lot of knowledge, can I learn all of it?" Cao Dongfang asked.
"I know almost everything, including making 'Miss Qiu' and 'Hand-made 'Aircraft Carrier'. These are just theories. My master does not have enough energy to materialize these objects.
Therefore, the master only learns knowledge but has no practical experience. "The system intelligence said.
I need to learn!
Can't you print the information for me?
"We need the information on 'Miss Qiu' and 'Dongfeng Express', and if possible, the information on increasing grain production." Cao Dongfang believes that these are what the country lacks the most.
National defense has 'Miss Qiu'!
The economy has food!
The rest can come slowly.
“Master, I have them all, you can’t afford them, but the prices of the materials are all above level 100. I think Master needs to do two things now. One is to replenish my energy and gain more skills.
The other is to find money, valuable items like gold, or domestic and foreign banks, large material bases. With money, you can exchange everything!
I am intelligent and do not have the right to give items above level 100 to the owner if the owner does not have enough money.
I will be obliterated from within!
"I seem to understand now. The core of the 'Super Rich System' is 'money'.
I win without doing anything because you give me money every day (supplies, no cash).
It will cost me money to get any supplies from you.
Awesome 'God of Wealth System'!
"Of course, this follows the 'law of conservation of energy'. The system does not create cash, but uses energy to transform material things. 'Money' is also a kind of energy." said the system intelligence.
"Tongzi, you have been stealing electricity from my house these days. Will the electricity bill in our compound go up dramatically?
How many years will it take to replenish your energy at your current speed?" Cao Dongfang asked.
“It won’t affect the residents. I’ll get some electricity from the main power generation department through the owner’s house. The amount is very small, only one in a hundred thousand!
Calculated in proportion, it will take 25 years to replenish the second grid of energy, and more than half of it will take at least 10 years, because more energy is used later! "The system intelligence said.
“I fucking understand!”
