Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang
Chapter 119 The Charm of Radio
Qin Dabao spent the whole morning sorting out materials. The work was so tedious that it made him dizzy.
In the afternoon, good news came from Shanxi: a total of 16 enemy spies were captured and two and a half tons of explosives were seized. Dang Jianjun and his men were finishing up the work.
After two days of busy work and overtime, the case was finally basically over. The subsequent interrogation and writing of materials were handled by a dedicated person, and Qin Dabao finally had some free time.
This major enemy spy case was like a grain of sand falling into a lake, without causing a single ripple. People immersed in the upcoming New Year had no idea what had happened, nor did they know how many unknown heroes were silently carrying the burden for the safety of the country and the people.
The task force's finishing work was handed over to the Secretariat's Preliminary Examination Section. Qin Dabao completely withdrew and returned to the section. The section chief gave him, Lao Qin, and Zhu Jun half a day off and they would return to work tomorrow.
Qin Dabao saw that it was already noon. He hadn't seen his brother and sister for two days, so he decided to make something delicious to comfort his sister. As for his brother? He was just bringing him along.
What delicious food should I make? Qin Dabao already had an idea in his mind. There were so many wild goats and fish in his space. It would be a waste if he didn't make a barbecue.
After he separated from Lao Qin and Zhu Jun, he went directly to the barbecue season and bought a large bag of marinade and a large bag of dipping sauce for the price of a box of Zhonghua cigarettes.
On the way, I found a bun shop and ate two trays of buns. The buns in this bun shop are very delicious, with thin skin and big fillings. There are eight buns in a tray.
Qin Dabao bought twenty boxes. If he hadn't been wearing official clothes, the store would have called the police. It wasn't until he said he was buying them for a colleague who was working overtime that the store manager sold them to him.
Qin Dabao bought the big basin from the bun shop and filled it up.
When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Qin Dabao remembered that he should buy a radio, otherwise his sisters would be too bored at home.
A radio costs 85 yuan, which is not a lot of money, but radio tickets are very rare. A radio ticket sells for at least yuan on the black market.
Now the Qin family's assets include two bicycles and a radio, and their family conditions exceed 90% of the families in the country.
When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, the steel-making blast furnace was still burning fiercely. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were wearing small jackets and working hard, sweating profusely. This was probably one of the reasons why they didn't move to Longxugou.
Qin Dabao glanced at them and walked straight over with the cart. He was no longer the goody-goody of his previous life, who would not turn the other cheek when slapped on the left cheek.
Yi Zhonghai didn't look at Qin Dabao. His eyes were always on the iron embryos in the blast furnace, but the veins on his hands holding the iron rods were bulging, revealing his mood at the moment.
. . . .
When I returned home and passed by the central courtyard, I saw that Sha Zhu's door was open. I peeked inside and saw Sha Zhu washing clothes. After asking, I found out that the factory had arranged for Sha Zhu to go to the leader's house to prepare a banquet. After finishing the meal, he did not return to the factory, but went straight home to take a break.
I told Sha Zhu that we should go to the backyard for barbecue later, and Sha Zhu happily agreed.
Arriving at the backyard, he drove the cart into the kitchen, took out a large basin, used his mind to cut ten pounds of lamb legs in space, poured one-third of the marinade into it, and evenly placed it aside.
I originally wanted to grill another fish, but unfortunately I didn't have the iron tongs to pick up the fish. Dabao remembered that he said he would treat Shazhu to roast duck last time, so he took out two and used his mind to put them in the space first to prevent them from getting cold when he took them out later.
After tidying up, he carried the radio into the house. When he reached the bedroom, he saw Cui Cui leading a few little ones playing with building blocks, but Bang Geng was not there.
When Cuicui came, her hair was dry and yellow, and her face was thin and sunken. After eating full meals for a few days, her face became rosy and her cheeks had some flesh on them.
Hearing the door open, several people turned around and saw Qin Dabao. Wenwen jumped off the kang and ran over barefoot.
"Brother, brother." There was crying in his voice. He hadn't seen his brother for two or three days and he really missed him.
Dabao quickly put the radio on the cabinet beside him, bent down and picked up Wenwen. Niu Niu also ran over and picked her up with her hands.
"Do you two miss your brother?"
"Yes, I miss my brother, very much." The two little girls nodded together. Qin Dabao was surprised to find that after just two days of not seeing him, little Niuniu could speak fluently and her stuttering was no longer a problem. It was said that the child changed every day.
"Tell me, brother, what did you eat for lunch?"
The two little girls thought for a moment and then rushed out, "Mantou." "Radish."
Cuicui hugged Erbao and said with a smile: "Brother, we had Erhe flour buns and stewed carrot soup for lunch."
Qin Dabao kissed the two little girls and said, "I'll make you something delicious later. Now I'll show you something fun."
He put the two little girls on the kang, turned around and picked up the radio. He had to hold it, because radios in that era were quite large.
"Brother, is it, is it a radio?" Cuicui was stunned.
"Yes, it's a radio, Cuicui, do you know it?"
Cuicui came over and touched it carefully: "The village chief's uncle bought one. I went there to listen to it."
Wenwen, Niuniu and Erbao had never seen a radio before. Wenwen touched it and asked, "Brother, what is a radio? Is there food in it?"
Qin Dabao laughed and said, "Why are you being so careful? It's not something you can break."
He placed the radio on the table under the mirror, inserted the batteries, turned on the switch, and tuned the station. The radio hissed and suddenly tuned to a station that was singing an opera, "The Execution of Su San."
Wenwen and Erbao seemed to have been acupunctured and could not move at all. Little Niuniu ran over, with her hands behind her back, looking for the people singing inside. She looked so adorable that Qin Dabao could not help but hug her and kiss her twice.
The three little ones and Cuicui were immediately captivated by the radio. They all sat obediently on the edge of the kang and listened to the sounds inside. After the Peking opera ended, the radio was replaced by the crosstalk "Selling Cloth" performed by Hou Baolin and Guo Qiru.
Seeing that the little one ignored him, Qin Dabao went to the outer room and lit the heater to burn some charcoal for the barbecue.
He picked up another piece of wood, washed it clean in the space, and used his mind to split the wood into more than a hundred bamboo sticks. He took the bamboo sticks and the marinated mutton to the eight-immortal table in the bedroom and skewered them.
For a moment, the room was very quiet, with only the sound from the radio, and the children were fascinated by it.
Qin Dabao was skewering meat while listening to crosstalk, which felt so good.
More than half an hour later, Sha Zhu lifted the door curtain and came in. When he saw the radio, his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to speak, Qin Dabao raised his index finger, made a "hush" sound, and pointed at the little guys.
Sha Zhu understood and sat down at the table, stringing the meat on skewers with Da Bao. They worked quickly and finished the skewers in no time. There was still a small half pot of meat left, which they put aside, waiting for more to be skewered when there wasn't enough meat left.
Qin Dabao looked at his watch and saw that it was past four o'clock. He couldn't eat barbecue in the house, so he had to go to the yard. He could barbecue outside the pavilion and took out the square kang table.
It was a bit cold, but if we dressed the children warmly and there was a charcoal fire, it wouldn't be that cold.
Sha Zhu has learned the craft at Kaorou Wan for more than a month, so the job of grilling skewers is his. It's really a blessing to have a chef as a neighbor.
Sha Zhu went outside to build a barbecue stove with bricks, and Qin Dabao washed his hands. At this time, the crosstalk was over, and the children were relieved. When they heard their brother say that he was going to eat barbecue skewers outside, Wenwen and Niuniu jumped up and clapped their hands, shouting that their brother was so nice.
Erbao put on his cotton-padded jacket and shoes and was about to run out, but Qin Dabao grabbed him and asked, "Where are you going?"
Erbao was so anxious that he kept struggling: "Brother, let go, I'll go call Banggen." The father and son even developed feelings for each other through their play.
Qin Dabao grabbed the rabbit fur hat on the kang and put it on him, then kicked him cheekily: "Run slower! Don't fall!"
Erbao responded and ran away...
