Chapter 1568 [1567] Buying ingredients in the suburbs
Chapter 1568 [1567] Buy food in the suburbs
Although Ding Wei did not receive dividends this year, she still received a letter from the publishing house. Because the dividend should have been 20,000 yuan this time, she returned it to her for 50,000 yuan. She wrote another IOU for 30,000 yuan and sent it back to the publishing house. This is equivalent to her owing 30,000 yuan. When the summer vacation of 1982, she would adjust her loan amount based on the amount of dividends.
As fast as one and a half years, she can return all 10,000 yuan in two years. This is not the case with the publishing house she signed in Beijing!
"Although my leg has been removed from the cast, I suggest that I try walking and exercise after school, so I have to trouble my sister these days. What do you want to eat tonight? There are fish sellers in the suburbs and rural areas. Otherwise, you can buy two and eat stewed fish?"
"Okay, let me see if there are any meat sellers. Sister, you have to replenish it well. Unfortunately, there are no shrimps. Shrimps are calcium supplemented, and river shrimps are too small. You are really unlucky. It has been several months since this incident, but it has been delayed a lot of your energy, right?"
"My classmate didn't do it on purpose. By the way, there are wheat, milk, essence, Gaolego, and all kinds of snacks at home. If you are hungry, go to the house to find it. I asked Xiumin to take it home, but she just doesn't. They are all given by others, and there are also milk powder bought by Brother Xiang Feng and our elder brother. They are all very expensive. I am young and why do I eat those things? If it is sold, it is not cost-effective. I will wait for you, a foodie, to come!"
"Oh, why didn't you say it earlier? I'll go see what's delicious and give you a whole cup of drink."
The ready-made boiled water and lilacs drilled into the house for about ten minutes, and finally came out with a bucket of sesame seeds.
The sesame paste of this era is absolutely genuine. One bowl per person, scoop a few large spoons, and pour in boiling water. In a short while, the sweet sesame fragrance spreads, and the lilac squinted her eyes in enjoyment.
"It's just this taste, it's so good. Sister, why are you standing there? Let's eat it!"
After Dingxiang had enough food and drink, he rode out on his bike.
She and Xiumin often went out during the summer vacation, and she was very familiar with the capital. Unexpectedly, after only half an hour of going out, she came back and ran home with excitement.
"Sister, there are tricycles sold in Qianmen Building. I think the quality is pretty good. Should we buy one? With tricycles, I can take you out for a walk in the past few days. It's vacation. The weather is so good. What do you think you are staying at home every day? And I asked, it only costs 200 yuan, brand new, not big, it's not very convenient to pull firewood or something?"
Ding Wei was successfully moved by Ding Xiang, and then the girl rode her bike to see the car. Unexpectedly, it was a Phoenix brand. The manufacturer was holding an event in front of the department store and could buy it if you don’t have a ticket. Ding Wei paid a deposit at that time. Considering that it was inconvenient for the two sisters, she specially sent someone to deliver the car to them.
Ding Wei was very satisfied with the other party's service attitude, and paid the final payment neatly. When she bought the tricycle home, the sun also set.
"Okay, it's getting late today. Sister, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow. It's great that such a new car doesn't have tickets."
"There will be more and more cases of not having tickets in the future. You will know if you go out tomorrow. There are already many small vendors in the streets and alleys. I really hope that our mother can come here to set up a stall, but unfortunately she doesn't want to come."
"Yes, my mother told me that she just didn't want to come. She also said that there were even mountains of gold and silver in the city, and she was not happy to go. It's great to be at home. Now I'm still growing my own land. The production team has been cancelled and the land reform has ended. No one cares about how many chickens and ducks are fed. We have also had experience feeding quails. Now our aunt is also raising it with our mother. They have both made a lot of money this year and have not passed the heat yet. How could they follow you to the capital? Dispel this idea as soon as possible!"
"That's a pity. After the New Year, I want to clean up our house and sell some snacks and make some pocket money. Do you think there are any suitable people in our family who come to help? I'll invite them to do business, take care of food and accommodation. Is there any suitable one there?"
After hearing what Ding Wei said, Ding Xiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, Tan Yue, don't you remember sister? Oh, it's Yu Xiaozhu from the past, but she didn't go back to her grandparents' house? She dropped out of school earlier and went to school for a few years. Unfortunately, her grandparents passed away one after another, and now there is no one to support her. She had also helped our mother sell cold skins for a while. Now she has completely dropped out of school and help her uncle and aunt take care of her children to do farm work. It's a pity that she studied so well, but... she couldn't succeed in the end!"
He is a miserable child, just...
"If she comes to Beijing, will her family agree? Will the street send her a letter of introduction? It must be necessary for her family to agree?"
"Well, this is a matter. Sister, wait for me to go back and ask her if she comes. If she can come, sister, you must give her a hand. She is so pitiful. If it weren't for her father's irresponsible, she wouldn't be entrusted with others. I heard that the reason why her grandparents died one after another was because they quarreled with her concubine every day, and they were so angry."
A few years ago, there were people in her family, and it was not their turn to help. Now, the grandparents who loved her were gone one after another. She can work again, and eight out of ten people will not let anyone go. Now it depends on whether the neighborhood committee will help her publish this letter of introduction.
If she can pass this level, Ding Wei will teach her the ability to support herself step by step.
She had noticed that there was no pastry shop on this street. She planned to build a traditional oven in the yard of the downtown room, and let the little girl help her sell bread and snacks. When the time is ripe in the future, she can still make cakes and other things. She opened her hands in the summer and bought a freezer, and also made drinks and juices. As long as this shop can be attentive, it will be fine to support their family, let alone herself.
She doesn't make traditional pastries, but Western pastries, and see if the little girl can eat this bitterness. After all, beating eggs is still very hard.
However, she had not planned to tell Dingxiang these plans yet, because of the situation after the New Year, she had to inquire with many sources. She should have put it on the agenda before the New Year, but her legs were not smooth and could only be put on hold for the time being.
The control period for next year will be fully liberalized the following year. At that time, the control of letters of introduction and foreigners coming to the capital will become easier and easier. By about 1984, the ID card will be born. In 1995, the single-page card type was adopted. In 1995, the plastic anti-counterfeiting was adopted. It was almost 2013 that the first-generation ID card was discontinued and the second-generation ID card was adopted.
With an ID card, people's travel will become easier.
Early in the morning of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ding Xiang rode a tricycle and took Ding Wei with him. Zheng Zhengjiaojiao was eager to go out, so Ding Wei put a rope cover on them and loaded the car together, so that Ding Xiang could take them out of the city with great effort.
At this time, there are the fourth, fifth and sixth ring roads. In some places, the third ring road is the wheat field, so it is very convenient to leave the city.
After leaving the city, they spread the two dogs and let them play in the ground. After feeding them for so long, the spiritual wolf dogs have been following their sisters slowly and following them into the village. They bought six eight or nine kilograms of reed chicken, four five or six kilograms of carp, twenty kilograms of fresh pork and thirty kilograms of pork butter, and the twenty yuan is gone.
The chicken is still a live chicken. Put it in a sack and put it in the backyard to raise it when you get home. When everyone in the family comes, it will not be too late to kill it again.
The tricycle is not big, and there is no place to install these things, so I asked Zheng Zhengjiao to put a rope in front to help Dingxiang pull the tricycle away.
It took lunch to finish the two sisters to finally get home.
Although it is very cold in the capital, the sun is still quite warm. You can't just put the meat like this. You have to sprinkle some salt to marinate it first, otherwise it will easily deteriorate.
"We will first refine the pork oil in the afternoon, and then fry these fish, and then put them on, otherwise it will be despicable and will not taste delicious at that time."
Both sisters worked very quickly, Dingxiang went to wash the pig oil well. After washing, she found a place with sun for Ding Wei to let her cut the pig oil while basking in the sun.
The cloves were chopped off the fish heads and kept them for chopped pepper fish heads. They could also stew the soup. The fish body was fried three pieces separately, chopped into three pieces, and fried them separately into meat sections.
Cut the pork into appropriately sized sections, apply salt, put it in a pepper and chili pepper, put it in a pickled vegetable jar, and place it in a shaded room to pickle it naturally.
The sisters had a stewed fish head for lunch and had a simple meal.
I did another afternoon of work until the sun sets, and Dingliu said at the small pile of firewood.
"There are quite a lot of woods around the village we passed by today. Sister, I will pick up some firewood tomorrow. It is quite convenient to cook during the Chinese New Year. It is much faster than these coal balls. The coal balls are still kept in the raw stove to avoid insufficient use."
"It's enough for coal balls, but I have to buy some chimney pipes and stoves back. My brother and the others are coming soon. They have to have a stove in their house, and our parents' house, and they have to have another fire. In this way, let's take me with you and let us measure it, cut it and send it to us, install it, spend more money, and save you more trouble for my brother and the others to come."
Ding Wei is impatient. Ding Xiang calculates the time, and the third and fourth brothers are almost coming, so he nods and takes Ding Wei to the hardware shop that previously installed chimneys for them.
This hardware shop is state-owned, and its service attitude is definitely not as good as that of private ones, but Ding Wei will do something. She found the master who installed a chimney for them and pretended to be a relative: "Cousin, cousin, come, I have something to come to you."
The man naturally recognized Ding Wei at a glance, because the little girl generously invited him to eat apples after installing the chimney.
So he ran out after finishing his work: "Oh, little girl, what's wrong with your legs?"
"Brother, it's okay, I just fell a little. I'm not going to bother you. I still have two houses in my house that want to install chimneys and stoves. Can you help install them? I won't let you install them for free. I'll give you two dollars of hard work. What do you think?"
"Hey, that's great. I'm about to get off work. Look at how much rice you buy. I'll find a cart to pull it over to you after work. It's not convenient for you. If you believe me, go home and wait. I'll go back and settle the accounts and write a list for you to take."
Ding Wei was worried about anything. After thanking her, she asked Ding Xiang to take her home.
At about six o'clock, the guy came with a cart. There were not only a chimney, but also two stoves and two pots for boiling water.
Ding Wei took the order, and the stove kettle totaled 20 yuan, and the chimney was pulled over ten meters. Because the pipes were long, the room would be warmer, and it would cost eight yuan to get ten meters. With the benefits she gave her, it would cost a total of 30 yuan.
After Ding Wei nodded and confirmed that there was no problem, Comrade Cai Kang got busy. Unexpectedly, when he was dressed here, the third brother came with a big bag of small bags on his back.
"Oh, Brother Third, how did you find it? We still think you will come tomorrow!"
"The address is clearly written, and I have a picture for me. I have a mouth and I am not easy to find. Oh, this place is really not small. Hey, are you wearing a stove? This is?"
The third brother put down his luggage and saw a man working in the room. After asking this, he was only half a beat slower to see Ding Wei's injured leg.
"My God, you girl is so calm. I said why you kept sitting and not moving, what's going on with your legs? Why don't you say anything?"
Ding Wei smiled heartlessly: "I just want to see when you can find that my legs and feet are not strong. Haha, nothing is going to happen. It's almost done. The plaster has been removed and I accidentally fell at school."
The third brother quickly squatted down and looked at her feet carefully, confirming that as she said, it was really going to be cured, and he was also pressing the plaster Lu Ying and his brother made for her, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already dark now. Dingxiang went to the kitchen to cook. Ding Jianping helped Cai Kang install the stoves of the two houses and wrapped the pipes with paper tape. After the tape was heated, it would be completely integrated with the pipes, which could ensure that there was no leakage to the greatest extent. After all, the pipes were installed long, and there were round pipe marks on the glass windows. An abandoned bucket was placed under each pipe, which was used to take over the wastewater flowing from the pipes.
It was almost seven or eight o'clock after finishing it. Ding Wei paid the money to her. She left with a smile and asked Ding Wei to ask her if she needed any help in the future.
Working in a hardware shop, I have to worry about others in the future, so Ding Wei is very polite to him.
After seeing off the guests, the food on the clove was almost ready. The corn soup was cooked and a few sweet potatoes were cut into them. This is the traditional way they eat it. They don’t even need to distille steamed buns. They fry a spicy and sour cabbage, which is tonight’s meal.
Of course, the two sisters did not forget to fry the fish pieces in the afternoon, and took several pieces for the brother to bake them on the stove, and sprinkled some chili noodles. Oh, that taste is really fragrant!
After dark, they pulled up the electric lights, but the wattage of the lamps in this era was too low and they were not very bright, so they just had a lighting.
After making do with dinner, Ding Jianping started the stove in his house and put a pot of water on it, planning to soak his feet in a while.
Ding Wei fantasized that she would see the whole family sitting in front of the stove and reuniting in a few days, which would be great!
This is what you should feel during the Chinese New Year!
Chapter completed!
