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 168: Eat pickles to lose weight

For this kind of wood, as long as the damaged parts are removed, the rest of the wood can still be used.

Especially the huanghuali wood, which is the wood used for some old furniture.

There is no new wood at all, and it can only be obtained from old furniture.

Let Dashan find it himself and buy whatever furniture he likes.

Zhang Weiguo was mainly looking for wood.

Dashan found a mahogany table, four chairs, and a large cabinet.

Zhang Weiguo found four yellowwood table legs and a large board.

The boss looked at how many things were bought and didn't ask for any money for the scraps that Zhang Weiguo found. He just gave them to Zhang Weiguo directly.

Zhang Weiguo was very satisfied with the harvest, these were all sea yellow.

There are very few large pieces of wood in the yellowwood, and it is very rare to find these.

I don't know which table these were taken from.

This table was once a very important artifact.

I just don’t know how it got damaged, how the boss got it back, and where the rest of the wood is.

Zhang Weiguo and Dashan loaded the things on the tricycle and tied it up with ropes.

Zhang Weiguo paid the money and let Dashan ride the tricycle.

Zhang Weiguo was riding a bicycle. This kind of strenuous work should be done in the mountains.

These things were no problem at all for Dashan, as they were all for him to use, not to mention that they were bought with Zhang Weiguo's money.

The two men returned to the winery and put their things away.

"I looked at the brewing equipment last night and it's ready to brew wine," said Dashan.

That's great.

You can try brewing some first.

Don’t worry about other things for now, just make sure the quality of the wine is good.

I explained everything to Dashan.

Zhang Weiguo left and came to the tavern.

Zhang Weiguo ordered two taels of wine, a plate of pickles and a plate of peanuts.

Zhang Weiguo found a corner and sat down, observing the people in the tavern.

Some people drink alone, while others chat with a few others.

They keep talking and you don't know what they are talking about.

All the voices blend together and you can't hear what is being said.

From the looks on your faces, you can tell that what you said was very interesting.

That was spit flying everywhere.

If you want to find out information here, you have to come here often and get familiar with the people here.

If no one knows each other and you start to pry for information, others will think you have some special purpose.

Call the police and have you arrested immediately.

Everyone hates spies and remains highly vigilant.

If anything goes wrong, they will suspect you of being a spy.

There is also a cash reward for catching the spy.

Everyone wants to catch spies and gets excited when they hear about catching spies.

It is not so easy to catch a spy. Spies are especially good at hiding themselves. Without this skill, it would be difficult to become a spy.

Sometimes, your long-time friend may actually be a spy.

I don’t usually communicate with others. My life is very simple and I don’t do anything else except work.

It's been the same for several years. I live like this and have no sense of existence at all.

You could never imagine that such a person would be a spy.

Zhang Weiguo looked at the people in the tavern and watched them talking.

Zhang Weiguo also ate pickles and drank wine, and then ate peanuts and drank wine.

Just killing time like this.

Other people's side dishes are also a small piece of pickled vegetable.

Pickles are good.

Pickles can relieve hunger.

This is also the reason why so many people like to eat pickles.

If you want to lose weight, you will be very hungry if you don't eat.

This feeling of hunger is very uncomfortable.

You just want to eat.

At this time, you eat a piece of pickle.

Don't be in a hurry, just chew the pickles slowly.

Gradually you will feel that your hunger is gone and you haven't eaten any food.

This way you will be able to lose weight.

This effect is still very useful.

Tried it, it really works.

Pickles can reduce hunger and help with weight loss.

One person's appetizer caught Zhang Weiguo's attention.

Zhang Weiguo hasn't seen this thing for a long time.

Coriander root.

This is also a very famous dish to go with wine.

Cut the coriander roots and pickle them in a pickle jar.

Once pickled, the coriander roots will be a very good dish to go with wine.

Zhang Weiguo saw his grandfather do this in his previous life.

No one has done this in a long time.

One is that there are too many side dishes, and the other is that it is hard to find a jar for pickled vegetables.

In the past, every household had a pickle jar.

After that, you will hardly see pickle jars anymore.

Now that we all live in apartment buildings, who still has a pickle jar?

The pickle jar was very large and filled with pickles.

There are so many pickles that they can be produced for a very long time.

One serving can last for several years.

When he was young, Zhang Weiguo would also go to the fields to dig pickles.

Wash the pickles and put them in a pickle jar. In addition to the pickles, add ginger and coriander roots.

Pickled ginger is particularly delicious, so Zhang Weiguo ate some of it.

Pickles are the thing I hate to eat the most.

There is no taste other than salty.

A coriander root cannot be finished in one meal.

One coriander root can make you drink several meals of wine.

I didn’t meet anyone who ate a single peanut today.

I didn't meet any storytellers either.
