Chapter 158 The Effect of Bacon and Vegetable Rice
Chapter 158 The Effect of Bacon and Vegetable Rice
“The job market in the city is so tight these days that even with connections or money, you can’t get a job.
Every year there are so many high school graduates who can’t find a job and have to go to the countryside. I don’t know how many of them will come this time.
I hope there’s enough room in the front yard, otherwise the old village chief will definitely try to cram people into our backyard.”
Lin Yinyin frowned. How should she deal with the old man then? He is quite old and very cunning!
"He's dreaming. When I was building a house, he was against it and asked us to pool our money to build a big one. He's dreaming.
If he lets someone live in my house, I will report him to the commune and have a good talk with Secretary Gu!
He is the village chief, and he wants to force people into the house built by the educated youth with their own money. It is simply unfair!
Why did he take the educated youth to live in his home? Why is he pretending to be a good guy here, this old guy~"
Cai Yanhong, this little firecracker, has been upgraded to a powder keg. The explosion range must cover the entire Youth League Home. With her around, Lin Yinyin feels much more at ease.
At worst, we can just go to the commune. Isn't Gu Zecheng thinking about his cooking skills? I'll go give him some food tomorrow. Let's give him a heads up in advance~
A man who eats someone's food should be grateful for what he has eaten. Hehehe, last time I saw him eating steamed rice with cured pork ribs, it was delicious. This time, I will make a salted pork and vegetable rice, with meat, vegetables and staple food!
Besides, didn’t Qi Yanli say that Gu Zecheng doesn’t like lesbians and he still hasn’t found a partner? So no one would object if she went to send him some food.
"I heard from former educated youth that those who went to the countryside did live in the homes of fellow villagers, but later some unspeakable things happened and the authorities stipulated that educated youth must live in the educated youth compound.
The only difference is that some of the youth settlements have newly built houses, while others, like the one we live in, are vacant houses in the village that were simply renovated and made habitable.”
Jiang Jizhi also didn't want anyone else to live in his backyard. The new house he built hadn't been there for less than two months, and the novelty of living there hadn't worn off yet, so why should he let someone else live there?
"Humph, you can't just ignore it. If too many people come and there's no room for them, then let them figure it out on their own. Dream on if you want to live in my house!
Unless I die! "
As Cai Yanhong spoke, she raised her neck, and the expression on her face was one that said, "It's either you die or you perish."
Everyone present could see her determination to defend her house to the death.
"You don't have to be like this. Let's be polite first and then use force. Let's take it one step at a time and don't worry about what will happen in the future. Hurry up and steam those two sacks of potatoes. The weather is good these two days, so we can dry them into potato chips and eat them in winter."
Lin Yinyin is still thinking about the dried potatoes. She has never tasted them and she says they taste terrible.
She really wanted to try it, and learned from Aunt Luo that drying potatoes depends on the weather. It won’t work if there is no sunshine, and it won’t work if the temperature is not high enough.
Otherwise the dried potatoes will not be golden yellow, but black!
"We already have a cellar, so why do we need to dry the potatoes? Can't we just store them in the cellar?"
"Fresh potatoes taste different from dried potatoes. Do whatever you're told to do. If you want to eat, you have to work!"
"Oh~"
Lin Yinyin felt that Comrade Yanhong had been asking a million questions recently, and had to ask about everything she did. Why was she drying potatoes? Of course, it was for eating in the winter!
There are only a few things to eat in winter, so why not try different ways to eat them?
During the winter, apart from studying for food, the rest of the time is spent chatting and listening to gossip. It would be great if a few people could get together to play mahjong or something.
As for mahjong, she has it, but she can’t take it out!
The process of making dried potatoes is quite complicated. After washing the potatoes, you need to steam them in a pot, let them cool down and peel them, then cut them into slices and finally put them on a curtain to dry...
If you want to eat, don't be afraid of trouble. This afternoon, Lin Yinyin plans to cook a pot first to try, and after Cai Yanhong and others get off work, she can help peel and slice the potatoes.
This work lasted until dark, and she was still cutting potato slices with the oil lamp lit. That night, Lin Yinyin dreamed of cutting potato slices.
The next morning, Lin Yinyin got up early to cook. She secretly packed two lunch boxes with bacon and vegetable rice. The remaining portion in the pot was enough for several people in the backyard to fill their stomachs.
"Yinyin, why are we eating so well today? We're eating meat so early in the morning?"
"Then you have to eat more in the morning. When the new educated youth arrive this afternoon, we're going to have a hard time for a while."
"Huh? Why?"
"You're stupid! The new educated youth have no food. The only options left are to buy food in town or borrow from the old educated youth. It's not harvest time yet, and the people in the front yard don't have much food either.
If we continue to eat and drink so lavishly, we're afraid that others won't come to borrow food!
I guess I’ll be eating barley porridge with corn pancakes every day these days!
Jiang Jizhi was smarter than Cai Yanhong after all, so he understood what Lin Yinyin meant.
"Ah, I have food but I can't eat it? There's such a thing. If they are envious, can't they earn work points themselves?"
"Think about Yu Huaishan. He has no evidence at all, yet he still wants to report my brother."
"I think these people just can't stand seeing others doing well, but your brother~ it seems that they didn't make any mistakes in reporting...
I won’t say anything more, let’s eat!”
Cai Yanhong spoke without restraint. When she looked up and saw Lin Yinyin's fierce look, she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Among these people in their backyard, except Lin Yinyin, who else is not involved in the black market?
Thinking of this, Cai Yanhong slapped her forehead. She must remember these words and not say them again in the future. It was as if she had no brains.
Lin Jianhe left before dawn. I heard that the train that this group of educated youth took arrived early in the morning, and they had to take a tractor to the city to pick them up.
Lin Yinyin was terrified just thinking about that tractor; it nearly shook her insides out...
After finishing her housework, Lin Yinyin took a small basket and went out to find Uncle Niu in the town.
"Boom boom boom..."
"Enter!"
"Secretary Gu, that..."
Lin Yinyin pushed the door open and poked her head in. She looked up and saw that the place was packed with people, all looking at her. It was a scary scene.
"Ahem, Secretary Gu is busy. I'll come over later."
"No, I'm done. You can go out first and do as I said."
When Gu Zecheng saw who the person was, a smile appeared on his face that he didn't even notice.
