Chapter 306 The Year (35)

That year and month 35

This year's autumn harvest, everyone seemed very active. Finally, there was no need to look for food everywhere because the food was cooked.

First, I scattered sweet potatoes. I don’t need to wash them, put them in a pot and steam them. I can eat them.

Today, the whole company is eating in the cafeteria, and it is enough to keep sweet potatoes.

Each person got two sweet potatoes, and Lin Yutong was about to call the Fourth Master back. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stuff this. Who knew that the company commander called the Fourth Master and went over and didn't know what to mutter. Then, she could only accompany everyone in the cafeteria to eat.

"This year's sweet potatoes are particularly fragrant, what do you think?" Xu Juxiang asked.

Lin Yutong nodded. But she said in her heart that she was very hungry. Everything she ate was delicious.

After eating too much sweet potato, the chief clerk brought a large basin of washed green peppers and a plate of coarse salt.

I don’t know when it started, but people think that eating this combination will relieve the discomfort in the stomach.

Dip the green peppers in some salt, and then eat them with sweet potatoes.

Anyway, Lin Yutong has never heard of any theoretical basis for this.

Xu Juxiang took a chili pepper for Lin Yutong, the dark green peppers with bitter salt, and then took a bite of the watery and sweet new sweet potato. I don’t want to eat this taste again.

After finishing the autumn harvest, Lin Yutong and Bai Xiaomei sat on the kang and found such diapers for Bai Xiaomei's children. They all found such clothes that educated youth don't want. It would be even better if they had old autumn clothes and pants. It would be better if they made diapers for children to absorb water and softly.

"After you dismantling it, you have to cook it first and expose it to the sun. Otherwise, it will be bad for the child." Lin Yutong helped her dismantle it, saying while working hard.

"Remember. I'll ask Cheng Hao to cook in the evening." Bai Xiaomei responded, "It's cold this day. I don't know if there will be any work this year."

"I'm afraid I'm still busy." Lin Yutong said casually.

Unexpectedly, it really made people talk.

This year's task is to strengthen the river embankment.

In the middle of winter, the river has frozen, so how can I build the river bank?

Lin Yutong didn't want to call the Fourth Master, "I think of a way, don't do this job."

"No!" The Fourth Master shook his head, "Everyone mobilized, even Bai Xiaomei had to go. However, Bai Xiaomei was like burning the fire on the side. I told the Chief of Staff that he would ask you to help him. The river bank is far away and the food cannot be delivered. Otherwise, it will become a lump of ice. You have to cook it outside. Go there and guard the stove. Warm."

OK! This should be a zheng management task. No one can escape.

Before dawn, the whole company gathered. Except for the elderly, children, everyone went into battle.

The chief clerk asked the young men to join a simple stove and then assigned tasks.

Lin Yutong and Bai Xiaomei and the company's wife were assigned to a group. We must ensure that everyone has a bowl of hot soup to drink when they eat.

Soup? What soup? Either radish or cabbage, it is considered soup.

Bai Xiaomei sat by the side watching the fire, and added some firewood from time to time.

The company commander's wife held a basin and kept looking for some clean snow, put it in the pot, and melted it first. "My cooking skills are not good. Big girl, come on. I'll help you. I'll wash, wash, pick up and cut vegetables."

Before Lin Yutong could do something, cheers came from over there. It turned out that he accidentally pried open the ice surface and a few fish popped out.

A kid sent it here happily.

This is good, and it can make two large pots of spicy and sour fish soup.

Clean the fish, use a little oil, then put the fish in the pan and fry it to a brownish color. Then cut the red pepper and pour half a bowl into it and stir-fry. After a while, the spicy taste spread. Pour water before burning it. The water is the snow water that has been melted and filtered. Then cut the ginger slices into it.

"Sister-in-law, cut sauerkraut." Lin Yutong greeted the company commander's wife.

The two cut the sauerkraut into fine pieces, and waited for the soup in the pot to turn into a milky shape with chili red, and then put the sauerkraut in.

During the meal, three large steamed buns per person and a bowl of hot and sour soup.

"It's satisfying!" the instructor shouted and whispered to the Fourth Master, "No wonder you are so tight to see people. With just this skill, you will not lose."

The Fourth Master actually didn't do much work in the morning. He knew very well how to build the river embankment. The current approach is also manpower to resist. How much does a person do a day? What are the requirements for building the river embankment? He has been studying this for a long time. Although it may not be scientific after getting it now, it is definitely not considered a reckless work.

So, I mentioned two precautions, and this became the supervisor.

The chief officer blew out of his body with a meal. He joked about Lin Yutong and said that he had to give in.

The job is very heavy, but the food is good. They are all steamed buns with Erhe noodles.

After a while, Cheng Hao came over. Lin Yutong saw him stuffing a steamed bun to Bai Xiaomei, "I can't eat so much, you can take it first."

Bai Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red. How could she be full if she did such a heavy work? She just had a bite left and gave it to herself.

There are many people like Cheng Hao who save a bite of food for his wife and children.

Lin Yutong felt sour and soft in her heart.

What is love? In this way, you would rather lose yourself than lose your lover's behavior, it is love.

Therefore, when cooking in the future, Lin Yutong doesn’t care whether it’s delicious or not. As long as she eats it, she will feel it’s good. She chops the cabbage and radish and throws it into the pot. Add several layers of cages on the top of the pot. Use dried sweet potato leaves and cooked with the thickest cornmeal and steamed in the cage. What can you eat without taking up space in your stomach? At least you’ll talk about it when you’re full.

The red flags fluttered around, and the people working were all excited, making people unable to stop their blood.

She remembered her hometown, and the canals and drainage ditches used for irrigation in the county of her hometown were built by people of this era, one by one, one by one. It was still in use until more than 40 years later, and it will continue to be used. I believe there are many such examples in the country. They used their youth and passion to create glory on this land, benefiting future generations.

So, we should pay tribute to this generation!

This busyness was not over until the twelfth lunar month.

Even if he only made two meals of soup a day, Lin Yutong felt that his arms were not his.

Finally I can lie down and no longer have to work. I may be so tired this year, but I don’t think many people are going home.

The young people in the company started to take a bath and go shopping in the county town.

Lin Yutong is also busy. Since she is going to get married, she has to make a new outfit for the two of them.

The materials in the space cannot be used, "We have to go to the county town to see what materials are there?"

Getting married is a big deal. Although the old couple is old, the Fourth Master does not want to be careless at all during the wedding. New clothes must be included.

Crowded in the carriage in the company and headed all the way to the county town.

Department stores are still the same, but at this time, there are more people. Most of them use the tickets in their hands to exchange for daily use.

There are a few more types of fabrics, and there is a corduroy type, which is suitable for making a coat in winter. Lin Yutong chose a black top for the Fourth Master, and asked for a few more feet, hoping to make a shorter windbreaker. The camel-colored pants look young and calm compared to the combination.

When I got to myself, I was in trouble. There was no pure red fabric, only black and red plaid, "I can only choose it." I also asked for a few more feet of black ones, enough to make a pair of pants for myself.

That's all.

When I came back, I looked like I and the Fourth Master had grown a little bit.

"What? It's not enough." The Fourth Master asked as he looked at Lin Yutong with a ruler and gestured.

Lin Yutong calculated, "It's enough, it's barely enough to use other cloth for the pocket."

"We are not short of this, you are always nervous when you go back." The Fourth Master was a little funny when he saw her careful calculations.

"I've been used to it for a long time. If there is a little extra waste, I feel sorry for you." Lin Yutong folded the fabric and said.

The two of them were talking when they heard the knocking sound outside.

The Fourth Master went to open the door and saw that it was a few boys who were scratching their heads and laughing. Everyone was holding clothes in their hands. It looked new.

"Are you guys?" Lin Yutong wondered. If this were fabric, she would have thought she was asking her to make clothes for her. But these were all new clothes, so she should have never worn them. Why do she ask her for her?

One of them said with a smile, "Everyone said that Sister Yutong is good at craftsmanship, so we came."

But this is a new clothes. Lin Yutong picked it up and took a look, "What? Isn't it suitable? Where to change it? You go to that house to change it, and I will find out where to change it?"

"No!" Another person took out a few pairs of old pants from behind, "just sew a few pieces of old cloth on the new clothes."

Patch new clothes?

What kind of trick is this? Sorry, we are old and don’t understand it.

So, Lin Yutong asked for a long time before she understood it. It turned out that a kind of clothing was popular in big cities now, which was the simple dress with patches.

Patch the shoulders, elbows, butts, and knees of the new clothes with similar colors but obviously old cloths. Put them on this for a while and wait for the new clothes to wear old clothes, the patch will not be obvious. What should we do? They just need to remove the patches again. Then, the original patches are brand new, while other places are still old. There are still poor colors. It looks like patching them. It is the same as patching them with new cloths. One piece of clothing can produce two effects.

Lin Yutong was stunned when she heard this. She remembered the nostalgic jeans that were all over the streets in later generations. Isn’t that just intentionally aging?

Is this different from the patching now?

Who said that people in the 1970s didn’t love beauty?

Others also have their own fashions, which are not out of date at all.

Lin Yutong left these clothes and said that she understood what they meant.

After the others left, Lin Yutong asked the fourth master, "Do you want to be fashionable?"
