Siheyuan: Started in 1950, third-level cook

Under Chen Jun's half-coaxing and half-persuasion, Master Liu drank half a bottle of tiger bone wine in a short time.

This wine is not only strong and high in alcohol content, but it also has added ingredients.

Drinking so fast, Master Liu couldn't bear it any longer.

"No, no, no more drinking!"

Master Liu waved his hands, his eyes starting to become blurry.

"Put the wine away for me. I...I'll take a nap before continuing to drink."

After saying that, Master Liu fell directly onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Good man, even though he is so drunk, he is still thinking about this half bottle of tiger bone wine.

It must be an old drunkard.

Seeing this, Aunt Rong hurried forward and tucked the quilt for Grandpa Liu.

"Hey, Xiao Chen, you are also..."

Aunt Rong was about to complain, but Mr. Liu on the bed suddenly started snoring.

"Hu~~"

"Hu~~"

The noise was so loud that you could hear it even from the yard.

Hey!

This sound.

Full of energy!

Aunt Rong was stunned for two seconds, then quickly bent down to check on Master Liu's condition.

She has lived with Master Liu for her entire life and knows everything about him.

Not to mention that I’m sick now, even when I was healthy before, my snoring wasn’t that loud.

"Old man? Old man?"

Aunt Rong reached out and patted Grandpa Liu's face, but found that she couldn't wake him up no matter what she did.

Seeing this, Chen Jun smiled and said, "Aunt Rong, please stop taking pictures. Drinking this medicinal wine will make you sleepy. Let Master Liu have a good sleep."

When I fed my mother the Wenshen Yangyuan Pill, she also felt sleepy after eating it.

The medicine must have taken effect and started to warm the body.

If nothing unexpected happens, by the time Mr. Liu wakes up, his illness will be mostly cured.

Then I can show off the remaining half bottle of tiger bone wine, and the old man will probably be able to go fishing again during the New Year.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Rong's frown relaxed a little.

Although she felt it was unreliable, Mr. Liu's snoring was indeed louder than before.

Not only that, her complexion also became a lot rosier.

I just don’t know if it’s because of the drinking or if my health is really getting better.

After sitting in Mr. Liu's house for a while, Chen Jun got up and said goodbye.

After solving Mr. Liu's problem, Chen Jun didn't rush home, but planned to buy some peanuts, melon seeds, candies and other dried fruits.

Tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day after tomorrow we should post spring festival couplets.

However, it has not been three years since Chen Jun's father passed away, so there is no need to post couplets at home.

The planned economy had not yet been implemented in those days, but ordinary people didn’t actually have much money in their pockets.

But when Chen Jun arrived at the department store, he found that it was crowded with people.

Well, whether you have money or not, you still have to buy some New Year goods during the Chinese New Year.

After squeezing through the crowd, Chen Jun came out carrying a lot of things. In addition to the dried fruits he planned to buy, Chen Jun also bought a lot of lamb chops and a leg of lamb.

"Hiss, these aunties are so cruel, I just cleaned my shoes!"

At the entrance of the department store, Chen Jun looked at the shoe uppers that had been stepped on several times and muttered something with some heartache.

These shoes were washed by my sister by hand in a sink in the middle of winter!

Stamping his feet vigorously, Chen Jun carried his things to a firecracker shop not far away.

Although it is only about 50 years old, there are many kinds of firecrackers here.

Chen Jun chose a bundle of powerful firecrackers, bought two bundles of display shells, and a bag of firecrackers.

A full ten dollars!

If people in the courtyard knew about this, who knows what would happen.

It's such a waste to spend ten dollars to buy these things. It's better to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil.

But as the owner of a stir-fry stall who earns thousands of dollars a month, would Chen Jun care about ten dollars?

On the way back, I went to the grain store to buy some rice and carried a bag of Fuqiang flour back home.

As soon as I returned to the yard, I saw a large square table in the front yard, and my third uncle Yan Bugui was writing couplets.

It must be said that Yan Bugui's calligraphy is quite good, especially the regular script written on his face, which is very neat.

As a teacher, I usually write in regular script.

People like Yan Bugui, who have been writing for many years, can even write lesson plans with a brush, and the font is very small but not messy at all.

"Hey, Uncle San is writing couplets? How many should he write this year?"

In the past Chinese New Year, most people in the hospital would ask Yan Bugui to write couplets.

After all, there are not many educated people in the institute, and even fewer who can write calligraphy.

Yan Bugui’s charges are also very reasonable. Those who have money can give a few cents, and those who don’t have money can just grab a handful of melon seeds.

Yan Bugui would be willing to marry someone like Chen Jun even if it didn't cost him money.

However, the Chen family didn't need it this year, so Yan Bugui didn't mention it. He smiled and replied, "Yes, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow, so I'll write some in advance."

"Oh, you bought so many things, aren't you afraid of getting tired?"

Yan Bugui looked at Chen Jun carrying many bags and a bag of Fuqiang flour on his shoulder, and felt envious and distressed.

Yan Bugui still likes Chen Jun very much.

It was not only because Chen Jun was nice to their family on a normal day, but also because their eldest son received his salary today.

Yan Jiecheng kept five dollars for himself and handed the rest over to Yan Bugui.

With this money, the Yan family can have a prosperous year.

Buy meat, noodles, and oil, and splurge this year.

"Okay, Uncle, you are busy, I am going home."

When we arrived at the backyard, the dishwashing team had already finished their work, and Lin Yao was wiping the water off the dishes one by one.

There are several days before and after the New Year, so clean the dishes and chopsticks now, and when you go out to set up a stall after the New Year, just rinse them with water.

"Brother, you are back."

Chen Jun smiled and nodded.

Although my sister is young, she is very hardworking.

He threw some dried fruits and other things to Lin Yao, then freed his hand to tap her head and said, "There are some candies you like in it, but you can only eat five a day."

Lin Yao's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she began to look for the candy in her bag.

Chen Jun returned to the kitchen, and with a flip of his wrist, lamb chops and lamb legs appeared in the kitchen.

Clean the lamb chops and cut them into small pieces with a knife.

Boil water in a pot and blanch the lamb chops.

These lamb chops don’t look like much, but after being cut into small pieces, they fill up half the pot.

You should know that the big iron pot used for blanching is the kind of iron pot on an old earthen stove, which can steam dozens of steamed buns at a time.

While the vegetables were being blanched, Chen Jun began to prepare some dipping sauce.

Today's dinner is simple, hand-pulled lamb and grilled lamb kebabs.

Have a delicious meal.

At the same time, Jia Zhang also went home cursing.

I went out to sell chickens this morning, but after selling for half a day, no one bought them.

Occasionally there were a few people who asked about it, but they just asked about the price and left.

Jia Zhang was puzzled. Her chickens were obviously priced the same as those sold at the vegetable market, so why didn’t these people come to buy them?

This is an old hen that I bought at a high price.

And I helped to deal with the chicken feathers and other things!

"They are a bunch of blind people!"
