Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 13 Refining Lard

"Isn't it too hot recently, and I couldn't buy a fan, so I went to buy parts and assembled one." With the young man proud, he announced to everyone in the courtyard, and passed the fan across Ming Road.

"It's amazing, it's amazing." Everyone was very envious of Zhang Yu's assembled fan, but although they were envious, they didn't have any malice. After all, they only said that private sales were not allowed, but they didn't say that they couldn't assemble it by themselves.

People have the ability, what else can they say?The most important thing is that since one can be assembled, the second can be assembled, and it will always be useful to others.

For the fan assembled by Zhang Yu, Zhang Guifang was even more delighted. She was at the door and didn’t go in. She waited for someone to ask her, and then replied proudly: “It’s not that my Xiaoyu assembled a fan by himself. I said no.” , let him use it himself, he insists on giving me the first one.”

Then when others praised Zhang Yu for his filial piety, he couldn't even close his mouth, and even said something that seemed modest.

Because there is only one motor, the other fan has to wait for him to buy the motor another day before assembling.

Then he took out the sandpaper and began to polish the frame. When my sister-in-law saw it, she asked her eldest cousin to replace him, and asked, "Why did you bring back a frame?"

"Gun, I want to save a bicycle and come out."

"I'll give you your uncle's bicycle first, and then I'll find out who has a bicycle ticket, and I can exchange one for you to buy a new one." Zhang Guifang thought that his nephew is now working, and sometimes he needs to go shopping around, so it's time to give it to him. He bought a bicycle.

"Sister-in-law, no need, don't look at the rusty frame of this car, but I have seen that the frame is made of good materials, polish it, and then paint it to make sure it is the same as the new one." Zhang Yu hurriedly stopped Zhang Guifang and wanted to use it The new one exists in his system space, but he can't tell the way.

The current bicycle is a big piece, and each bicycle has a number, so you need to go to the police station to smash the stamp.

For bicycles purchased by individuals, the "bicycle license" and the license plate must be obtained with the invoice. Only with these two things can you prove that your bicycle was obtained through legitimate channels.

Don't know how to deal with the vehicles he assembled?
Just at this time Zhao Wenzhuo came home from get off work, "Uncle, you just came back."

Zhao Wenzhuo put the things in his hand on the table, turned to look at Zhang Yu and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I went to the scrap yard today, and I just saw a bike frame. I tried it, and it was filled with good materials, so I thought about saving a bike for myself."

As he said, scratching his head, he was a little embarrassed: "I don't think it's troublesome to find a bicycle ticket, and it's quite expensive. It can save a little bit of life. I have the most important frame. Chainsets for chains are also available. Wheels, chains, handlebars, etc. can also be bought at the repair shop.”

"Speaking of which, I took advantage of it this time. I guess the people in the scrap yard didn't realize that there was only a lot of rust on the outside of the car. After polishing, there was nothing wrong with the inside."

Taking a breath, he looked at Zhao Wenzhuo nervously and said, "I can assemble the car at night, but I don't know, can the car I assembled by myself be stamped?"

Zhao Wenzhuo waved his hand: "This is a small problem. You assemble it first today. After assembling it, take the receipt from the scrap yard and the purchase certificate from the car repair shop. I will arrange it for you when I go to work."

Hearing what he said, he and his cousin Zhao Feng went to several car repair shops one after another, and got two wheels together at home.

After returning home, several cousins ​​took turns to polish, and finally put the vehicle up before going to bed at night, and put on a layer of paint. It doesn't look brand new, but it is still seven or eight percent new.

After riding it for two laps, it was no different from a normal vehicle before putting it back.

The next day, before going to work, he checked in today.

"The system opens today's sign-in."

"Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in. You will get five yuan in cash and ten catties of suet."

For this sign-in, he feels very happy. Just yesterday, the family added a fan and a bicycle, and bought some meat to celebrate. His meat slices this month have not been used yet.

When buying meat, he happened to buy a small piece of fat meat, and he carried the fat meat into the kitchen openly under the envious eyes of others.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I was going to refine this piece of pork, plus the ten catties of lard that I signed in today, I could make a lot of it.

The kitchen window was opened a little, so everyone in the courtyard must know that I was refining lard today, so that I would have an excuse to eat lard in the future. After all, no one would check how much oil was in their tank and how much they would eat at a time.

He added a little water to the pot, which he learned from, um, a friend in his previous life, so that the lard produced would not burn easily and would be whiter.

The water gradually disappeared, and the smell of lard wafted in the courtyard, causing people who lacked water to swallow involuntarily.

When the refining is almost done, when the lard is scooped out, the remaining pork is not so dry.

Because there is more oil refined this time, there will naturally be more lard residue.With so much lard residue, taking it out at one time is obviously telling others that there is a ghost.

Divide the lard dregs into three parts, scoop a large part into a jar with some oil, and use it for cooking at that time, sprinkle some salt on the other part, take it out later, and serve it as a dish for uncle, and the last part , ready to pack some steamed stuffed buns.

I looked at the time, it was past 7 o'clock, not too late, and now it's just right to eat at night.

Scoop out five spoonfuls of noodles from the jar, add a little cornmeal, it looks a lot yellower, and the pot of noodles is full of life.

Then chop up the oil residue and put it into a chopped cabbage. Just in time to see a few catties of sea rice in the system space, I grabbed a handful and put it in the stuffing.

After looking at it, I always felt that there was still some lack of oil and water, so I scooped two spoonfuls of lard and put it in it.

Add scallions, ginger, pepper powder and other seasonings, and finally add salt. After adjusting the taste, I smelled it before calling my sister-in-law with satisfaction.

The sister-in-law was wrapping the steamed stuffed bun deftly, and said, "How come there are so many noodles in summer? If you can't finish it, it will taste bad the next day."

"Sister-in-law, it's all right. I have enough to eat. I have half of it for other purposes."

Zhang Guifang stopped nagging when she heard her nephew said it was useful, and she stopped asking about the specific role. When the child grows up, he has his own ideas and his own society, and the family can't control everything in his hands.

Moreover, since my nephew got well last time, he has changed a lot, and he can make up his own mind.

She has seen her nephew's behavior during this period of time, and she is very satisfied with it, so she gradually handed over the affairs of the Zhang family to her nephew.

Zhang Yu also noticed the change of my sister-in-law during this time, and kept it in my heart. During this time, my sister-in-law always casually brought up the past and handed it over to his family connections.

There are five big pots packed, but fortunately, when the kitchen was repaired some time ago, there was room for it.

Coupled with the kitchen utensils I bought for various reasons during this period, the kitchen is much easier to use.

Opening the steamer, the steaming steamed buns came into view. The white and fat buns made people very greedy.

For dinner, Zhang Yu dismissed his aunt's idea of ​​cooking, and brought three cages of steamed stuffed buns.

One steamer, 20 big buns, Zhang Yu thought there would be a lot of 60 buns left.

As a result, after a meal, seven people wiped out more than two and a half cages.

The eldest cousin ate eleven by himself, and even the cousin with the smallest appetite ate six at one go. You must know that these are not small buns, each bun is bigger than an adult's fist.

He once again saw the appetite of people in this era.

And Zhao Wenzhuo ate a mouthful of lard residue, drank a mouthful of wine, and watched the children play and fight, having a good time.

After they got married, they agreed to raise their little nephew. Many people pretended to fight for him, but actually tried to provoke him to make trouble.

It is said that he indulged his wife in raising his little nephew, and there will be troubles in the future. For so many years, Zhang Yu is another son to him and a part of the family.

The son is not in good health, how could he not be partial?
Now it turns out that Zhang Yu is a good boy. At this age, he has begun to enjoy the filial piety of his son.

Look at the courtyard, who doesn't envy him, the little nephew never forgets to bring him something every time he goes out.

Don't say things are good or bad, just this kind of heart makes people feel that everything is worthwhile and warms their hearts.

Whenever I cook, as long as I make some delicious food, my little nephew will send some over.
