Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Chapter 28 Billions of Supplies in Hand

Gu Qingqing hasn't recovered from her illness yet and has been lying in the house without coming out. Gu Qingshi doesn't know how to cook and Lin Shaoyang doesn't have time, so Zhao Lanlan has been cooking for them these past two days.

It's impossible to expect Gu Qingqing to help.

As for Lin Xiaomei and Qiao Lei, Jiang Yanqiu really didn't want to have any contact with them.

Lin Xiaomei can't be hired unless there is any benefit.

Qiao Lei is very arrogant, and she acts like you have to be nice to her if you invite her to dinner, otherwise she won't come to eat.

Thinking of the many times Qiao Lei had disrespected the original owner, Jiang Yanqiu decisively skipped her.

Although Zhao Lanlan is meticulous, she is also very considerate of her appearance.

Just as the three of them finished washing the vegetables, Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi came back.

After trying their luck, the two encountered a wild boar weighing about 100 kilograms. They killed the wild boar and returned.

In addition to wild boars, there are six pheasants and three rabbits. Their strength is really good.

Lin Shaoyang placed the wild boar in front of the team leader and said, "Captain, should we divide this wild boar or send it to a purchasing station?"

The team leader yelled at him, "It's so small, it's barely enough to fill your stomach. Why share it? You won't get much money if you take it to the purchasing station. You guys cook it in one pot, and everyone who helps out can take a bowl home to feed the children at home."

Almost everyone who came to help came from one family, and most of the people in the village came, so this can be considered a division of labor.

"Okay." This is what Lin Shaoyang was waiting for.

With this wild boar here, everyone who came to work today had no energy to work and their minds were all on the wild boar.

Wang Dazhu suggested, "Why don't we take it back and eat it?"

"We think it's okay." Others also expressed their agreement. With so much meat, the whole family can eat it when they take it home. Here, only they can eat it and the rest of the family can't have a bite.

The captain thought about it and agreed: "Okay, I'll ask my family to bring bowls over in advance."

This disrupted Jiang Yanqiu and the others' plans. They had originally planned to cook several dishes separately, but in the end, all the food they took back was mixed together and it was no different from a stew.

So I made a pork stew, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, and a braised rabbit, without even frying the eggs.

The stew was made by Aunt Chen. She kept some good pork belly and lard from the whole pig, washed the rest of the offal bones and stewed them in a pot, and also added vegetables such as beans, eggplants, and cucumbers.

The stewed chicken with mushrooms and the braised rabbit were made by Jiang Yanqiu.

Zhao Lanlan was responsible for helping the two of them.

After the courtyard wall was built in the afternoon, everyone went back to get bowls to serve the dishes, and Aunt Chen distributed the dishes after they were ready.

Jiang Yanqiu was unsure about how to divide the big pot of rice. If she were to divide it, either there would be too much at the beginning and not enough at the end, or there would be a lot left at the end, so it would be better to give it to Aunt Chen.

Since they bought too many vegetables, Aunt Chen asked everyone to take two bowls, one bowl of stew, one bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms and braised rabbit meat, and three steamed buns.

After dividing the food, they added scrambled eggs with persimmons and braised pork before calling the village cadres and educated youth to come and eat.

Jiang Yanqiu thought Qiao Lei would not come. After all, she didn't even help when Gu Qingqing was sick during this period. She didn't expect him to come to dinner.

If it was Jiang Yanqiu, Qiao Lei would definitely not come.

However, with Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi, their family backgrounds are there, and they can't help build the house. It would be too disrespectful to not even go to dinner when they are invited.

Who knows, one day you might need to ask someone for help when you encounter something.

Because the village cadres were present, Lin Xiaomei didn't dare to say anything sarcastic, and the meal was quite harmonious.

After dinner, several village cadres took the male educated youth to build the wall in the middle of their yard.

After the work was finished, the village cadres were about to go back. Lin Shaoyang shared the wild boar meat he had saved with the village cadres, about two pounds each, and gave each of them a pack of cigarettes. They had really put in a lot of effort on this house.

After seeing them off, Jiang Yanqiu and the others didn't care about anything else and just moved into the new house.

Jiang Yanqiu had a lot of stuff. When the original owner went to the countryside, he carried bedding, a suitcase, a luggage bag and a bag of miscellaneous items.

After going to the countryside, they bought a kang cabinet, a wooden tub for bathing, and a wooden basin for washing feet.

After Jiang Yanqiu came, she bought a lot of things, all kinds of things. Zhao Lanlan and she had to run four or five times to move them all.

Lin Xiaomei sat on the kang and stared, as if she was afraid that they would take her things away.

The male educated youth were also moving things for Lin Yiyang and the others. These two people had even more stuff, including several boxes of books alone.

In addition, Lin Shaoyang has been here for several years and has bought quite a few things.

However, he and Gu Qingshi bought a new set of pots, pans, and utensils, and did not share the set they had bought together with others.

By the time they moved, it was already dark and Jiang Yanqiu remembered that she didn't have an oil lamp.

The village does have electricity. It was connected shortly after the establishment of the people's commune, but it only reached the village office. None of the villagers' homes had electricity lines.

There are families who can afford electric lights, but Shanshui Village cannot afford to buy a transformer on its own, so it borrows power from other brigades.

They only used thin aluminum-core wires, which would break when there was a strong wind. The voltage was only enough for the village's lights, telephones and radio. Even so, there were occasional power outages.

Seeing that Jiang Yanqiu didn't have an oil lamp, Lin Shaoyang said, "I'll make one for you."

He went back to the house, took out an ink bottle, drilled a small hole in the bottle cap, stuffed the wick paper in, added some kerosene, and a simple kerosene lamp was made.

Previously, kerosene and seasonings were bought together. Jiang Yanqiu did not go to the front yard to distribute them, but asked Lin Shaoyang to share a pound of kerosene.

After taking a shower, Jiang Yanqiu originally wanted to go into the space, but after thinking about it, she decided to go to sleep.

Although her bedroom was separated from Lin Shaoyang and the others by a kitchen and they shared the same beam, with many gaps in between, the room was not very soundproof, so it was better to be careful.

Jiang Yanqiu was always thinking about the supplies in the space, and also remembered what the old turtle said about Gu Qingqing that those supplies might involve human lives.

As a result, she kept having vague dreams while sleeping, waking up and falling asleep again. She felt like she was asleep, but also like she was not asleep.

I didn’t sleep well later, so I just got up and went into the space.

As soon as she saw the neatly arranged supplies in the space, she instantly became clear-headed.

Starting from the middle well, two-thirds of the area is filled with supplies.

Many packaging bags are written in foreign languages. In addition to the foreign languages ​​commonly used in later generations, there are also many words that Jiang Yanqiu has never seen.

Fortunately, many supplies had Chinese character descriptions, so Jiang Yanqiu could tell what was inside, but she didn't recognize most of them.

As for how many there are, there is no specific number, they are just in piles.

Seeing the various foreign languages, Jiang Yanqiu's first reaction was that Gu Qingqing's family had a very big business in her previous life, and they had businesses in several countries.

However, when Jiang Yanqiu walked to the place where poultry and livestock were piled, she felt something was wrong. She found that the cows were particularly big, and the small ones were actually newborn calves.

She ran to the area where the pigs were piled up and saw the same situation. The big pigs weighed four or five hundred pounds, and the small ones were just born.

The same goes for other edible animals, all piled together in the same mess.
