Siheyuan: The strongest point adding system is bound at the beginning
Chapter 86: Busy Silk Shop
After the meal, the five electricians dispersed. To be more precise, Liu Ping'an left alone and went to the silk shop under Zhengyang Gate.
When we arrived at the silk shop, we found that Chen Xueru was still busy. Today was New Year's Eve, and many people came here to pick up the clothes they had previously ordered. There were also people buying cloth, but not many. The New Year was less than a day away, and if we bought cloth now, our family members would not be able to wear new clothes tomorrow morning.
But no matter what, it is good to be able to buy some new clothes for your family during the Spring Festival. Three years new, three years old, and three years of mending. It is even worse for the second and third children in the family. After three years of mending, as long as the eldest child's clothes can still be worn, it will be another three years.
The third uncle's family in the No. 95 compound and the second uncle's family in the backyard are like this. After three years, the clothes will be retired until they are worn out. But this is not the ultimate mission of these fabrics, the soles are.
The women in the family would mix the white flour, which they usually didn't want to eat, into a paste in a bowl, and use it to paste the unwearable clothes together layer by layer. The paste would then be cut into soles the size of each person's feet, and finally worn on each person's feet until the soles were worn out.
Chen Xueru, who was busy in the store, saw Liu Ping'an who had already arrived at the door, nodded, and went back to her business. He used his mental power to scan the lunch box that he had prepared for Chen Xueru, and it was already cold.
Liu Ping'an didn't understand the business of this store. He wanted to help, but he was afraid that he would make things worse. If he took the wrong things, he would have to explain himself. So he tactfully picked up the lunch box on the table and walked towards the backyard.
During this half year, the kitchen in Chen Xueru's backyard had been requisitioned by Liu Ping'an. At first, Liu Ping'an prepared dinner in Yard 95 and packed it up and brought it over.
After spending some time together, the relationship between the two quickly heated up. Liu Pingan had some skills in picking up girls that he had learned from the Internet. He had put them all into practice on Chen Xueru in the past six months. He had space and plug-ins, so he was not empty at all. If Liu Pingan was not old enough at this moment, maybe Chen Xueru would have been taken down by him.
Liu Ping'an also became familiar with the people in the courtyard. At present, there are nearly 95 people living in Courtyard 100, 20 more than when he first arrived. Five new families moved in, all of them were poor families, and the rich would not live in this large courtyard.
But being able to have a job in this city is already very good, and a family with a job can support a large family. Jia Dongxu was the only one in the Jia family, but he still managed to lead a family of five through three years of famine. Unfortunately, he died just after the hardest days.
Although he had the help of his master Yi Zhonghai, the uncle in the front yard never received any donations. Although his salary was not as high as the 27.5 yuan per month he said, he would have applied for poverty alleviation subsidies long ago. The uncle's family of six had a monthly salary of less than 30 yuan, which was lower than the monthly subsidy of yuan per person.
Liu Ping'an was busy in the kitchen in the backyard at the moment. Today was New Year's Eve, the last day of the year. The last meal of the night was still dumplings.
The white flour that people have been reluctant to eat all year will be saved by families who can afford it, and saved for today's last dinner. Everyone sits together and makes dumplings.
The whole family, young and old, joined in the work, some rolled the dough, some mixed the fillings, and those who really didn't know how to do anything could light the fire! These tasks were usually done by the women, the elderly, and the older children in the family. The whole family sat together and it was very lively.
At this time, the men who earn money at home finally have a break after a year, and they do nothing but sit on the kang and smoke. These are the only days in a year when they can take a break from their busy schedule and relax themselves.
Liu Ping'an, who was working alone in the kitchen, released his mental power and paid attention to Chen Xueru who was still busy in the store in front and the people coming and going. He suddenly felt lonely.
I came to this era alone, and half a year has passed. My interpersonal relationships are limited to the courtyard and the steel mill. I know all the monsters in the courtyard, and I don't want to have anything to do with them. At this moment, apart from being familiar with the third uncle's family, Liu Ping'an can count the number of times he has been to the middle courtyard and the backyard in the past six months with two hands.
In addition, the Jia family is still living a good life at the moment, and there is no sign of chaos in the courtyard. Tomorrow will be the 57th year, which is the last good year for the Jia family, and the curtain of the drama in the courtyard will soon be opened.
Being rich doesn't necessarily mean having a conscience, but when people like Jia Zhangshi become poor, they will definitely resort to evil schemes. And Yi Zhonghai, the dog-headed military advisor, relied on his status as a great uncle to make plans and stir up trouble in the courtyard. In addition, Qin Huairu, the white lotus in the courtyard, played the victim in the middle to gain sympathy and took advantage of everyone in the courtyard.
Just wait, at the latest by the end of this year, Yi Zhonghai will open the curtain of this courtyard for the Jia family. I just wonder if Brother Mao in my backyard will be easily suppressed by Yi Zhonghai without Sha Zhu as his thug this time?
After kneading the dough, he put it in a bowl and started to take out the ingredients in the kitchen to prepare the dumpling fillings. During this time, he also heated up the food in the lunch box and sent it to Chen Xueru. I don't know if it has been eaten by now.
Tonight, there is only one dish, dumplings, and nothing else, but there are a lot of fillings. Chives and eggs are definitely indispensable, but pork is still the absolute protagonist. There are pork and green onion fillings, pork and radish fillings, and pork and mushroom fillings. It is the protagonist of today's dumplings.
This pork is also a product of his own space. The three livestock that were originally missing in his space - pigs, cows, and sheep - have also been collected by him in the past six months.
Pigs and sheep were easy to buy in the city. The most difficult thing to collect was cattle. I went to the countryside several times to collect three sick cattle, one male and two females. When I received them, they were half dead. Two of them were sick and one was lame. They couldn't work in the fields. The village veterinarian sentenced them to death, and only then did Liu Ping'an buy them.
