Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 127 Bamboo Shoots Stir-fried with Bacon

The bamboo shoots are very fresh and perfect for this dish.

Zhang Weiguo really likes fried bamboo shoots with meat.

The life of the people in this village is still very hard, and the main food is sweet potatoes.

Cornmeal is also a staple food in daily life. The most common food they eat is sweet potato, and they eat cornmeal every other day.

Their favorite is white flour buns, but there is not much white flour, so they only eat it once a month.

It is mixed with corn flour, not pure white flour steamed buns.

White flour is their best food.

They were close to the mountains and could get some food from them.

But they had no food coupons and no place to buy flour.

In this era, everything requires a ticket, even matches require a ticket.

The situation in the old city is better, as there is no limit on the supply of matches. But in many villages below, the supply of matches is limited.

Many relatives in the countryside asked relatives in the city to help buy matches and then send them to the countryside.

Zhang Weiguo saw some families breaking matches together.

A matchbox is only that big, so in order to save money and give out more matches, I broke the matches in half and kept half.

This way you can put two boxes of matches into one box.

Zhang Weiguo often sees others doing this.

Such things are very common in this era.

Ran Qiuye often does this.

He had relatives in the country who asked him to help mail the matches.

This is an era where we cook with fire, how can we do without matches?

They would find some familiar people and ask them to help buy matches.

Zhang Weiguo has also broken matches.

If it is broken into such short pieces, won’t it burn my hands when I use it?

This is what Zhang Weiguo thought.

If someone asks us to do this, there must be a solution.

Nowadays, everyone is frugal with everything, no one is wasting anything, and there is no food for you to waste at this time.

It was dark when Zhang Weiguo left the village.

Fortunately, the motorcycle had lights.

I could see the road clearly and the moon was particularly bright.

You can see the stars when you look up, unlike decades later when you can't see anything clearly when you look up, all is haze.

Under the moonlight, it is no problem to see the road clearly.

Wait until Zhang Weiguo returns home.

Ran Qiuye has already prepared the meal.

"It's time to wash your hands and have dinner. Why do you come back so late today?" Ran Qiuye asked.

"I went to the countryside today."

"Wait a moment. I have some fresh bamboo shoots that I just harvested. You can stir-fry them with some bacon."

"I'm going to wash my face first."

Zhang Weiguo gave the bamboo shoots to Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye went to fry bamboo shoots, and Zhang Weiguo went to wash his face.

Take out the ginseng received today and put it in a box.

I left a few ginseng roots outside and put the rest in the space.

There are hundred-year-old ginseng in Zhang Weiguo’s space.

Hundred-year-old ginseng is extremely rare, and it is said that Hundred-year-old ginseng can save lives.

Hundred-year-old ginseng can save a person's life.

As for the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng, no one has ever seen it.

It’s hard to say whether there is or not.

Probably not.

Ginseng grows too slowly and cannot be accelerated.

As for the thousand-year-old ginseng, that is people's imagination. There is no such thing at all.

The history of China is only more than 5,000 years old, and you got a ginseng that is tens of thousands of years old.

Isn't this a slap in the face?

Even if there is, can you discover it?

Ginseng is not only good for humans, but also for animals.

Animals also often eat ginseng.

Some ginseng is eaten by animals and never reaches humans.

Time flies and the earth's crust changes frequently.

You see it is the sea now, but who knows how many years it will turn into a mountain.

You see it is a mountain now, but you don’t know when it will become the sea in the future.

Things on the earth's crust are not static.

By the time Zhang Weiguo had finished preparing the food, Ran Qiuye had also finished cooking.

"Here are some ten-year-old ginseng roots. We'll use them to make soup later."

Zhang Weiguo gave Ran Qiuye some ginseng.

Ran Qiuye collected the ginseng.

Let’s start eating.

Zhang Weiguo took a bite of the bamboo shoots fried with bacon, which was very good, with the fragrance of bamboo shoots.

“This bamboo shoot is fried well.”

"Eat them quickly while the bamboo shoots are still fresh."

The two little girls also like to eat it.

"Bring some bamboo shoots to send to mom and dad tomorrow."

"You can take the two little girls and stay at your parents' house for one night."

"I have to go to the countryside tomorrow, and I don't know when I will be back."

Zhang Weiguo said.

"Sure, it just so happens that mom and dad miss the two little girls too."

"Then you can pack more bamboo shoots and take two ginseng roots."

"Give mom and dad some more money. Food is expensive now."

"I haven't spent your salary yet. I've kept it all and saved several hundred dollars." Ran Qiuye said.

"You can spend the money as you wish."

"If there are any clothes you like, go buy them. If you have nothing to do on the weekend, take the two little girls to buy some clothes."

"Buy some snacks if you like them."

"Don't let the child down, buy whatever he likes."

"Okay, got it."

After dinner, it’s time for the two little ones to do their homework.

Zhang Weiguo would not take on such an important task as tutoring his children with their homework.

Zhang Weiguo took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Watching Ran Qiuye tutoring two children with their homework.

Zhang Weiguo packed the bamboo shoots again.

I cut two more apples and gave them to them.

The service is quite good.
