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 175: Gratitude and Resentment

This thing still looks ugly, it is a bug after all.

The two little girls had never seen this thing and were very unfamiliar with it.

They may not necessarily accept eating this.

It depends on how it tastes?

Can I attract the attention of the two little girls?

If someone else made this, it would definitely not taste good, but it would be a different story if Zhang Weiguo made it.

It’s not that Zhang Weiguo’s skills are high and the food he makes is delicious.

The main reason is that this thing needs to be fried.

At that time, every household had limited oil, and people were reluctant to use oil for cooking, let alone deep-frying.

Without frying, this thing would not taste good at all.

It tastes like boiled water, even dogs won't eat it.

There is also a strange smell.

Only by frying can this thing be delicious.

Everything fried is delicious, there is nothing bad.

Zhang Weiguo was carrying the bucket and walking home, thinking about how to make delicious food.

Zhang Weiguo has no shortage of oil.

Even if you can’t eat meat, you can still add more oil.

It is normal to add oil when cooking.

Some people put less, some people put more.

Zhang Weiguo is one of those who released a lot, and he released the most.

Ran Qiuye and Zhang Weiguo have improved, but they are still not very generous at heart.

Zhang Weiguo is different. He eats food with a lot of oil and salt.

This is not the way people eat in this era.

There is nothing we can do about it. It's a long-standing habit that cannot be changed. Besides, the food really doesn't taste good if there is not enough oil.

Just like boiled water, no taste.

Zhang Weiguo is rich and doesn't need this little bit of oil.

If he can't get the oil, Zhang Weiguo might be able to make some changes.

He doesn't need it, so why is he being so hard on himself?

Zhang Weiguo wanted to keep a low profile, but he didn't want to go to the extent of eating coarse food.

Why keep good things if you don’t eat them?

Give it to others to eat?

No one will show you any gratitude.

No matter how much you give, others will never be satisfied.

A little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge.

Others will not be grateful, but will only become more and more greedy.

That's human nature.

Greed is real.

Zhang Weiguo took the things and returned home.

Seeing that there were still two hours until dawn, Zhang Weiguo lay on the bed and took a nap.

When he opened his eyes, it was Ran Qiuye who woke up Zhang Weiguo.

"Where did you get this?" Ran Qiuye asked.

When she woke up in the morning, she saw the gibbon in the bucket.

She knows this thing.

After molting, it becomes a cicada.

Every summer, this thing barks.

Sometimes, even during nap time, I can’t sleep well because of the noise.

I would also use something to drive them away, but they would start chirping again within two minutes of being quiet.

There's nothing you can do with this thing.

Luckily this thing had a short life.

It will be fine after a while.

She knew this thing, but she didn't know it was edible.

When she saw this thing, she was very curious.

What is Zhang Weiguo doing this for? Where did he get so much of this stuff?

"I caught it last night."

"This is a good thing. It can nourish your skin."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye was no longer sleepy.

It is every girl's nature to love beauty.

She was very curious about whether this thing had this kinetic energy?

"How are you going to do this?"

"Of course I ate it."

"Is this still edible?"

"Of course, it tastes good."

Everyone's living environment is different, and their cognition is also different.

Living habits vary from place to place.

Things that are very common in other places may not be familiar to you here.

Ran Qiuye had lived in the old city since he was a child, and had not seen much of this thing.

These things are all in the woods. Where there are more woods, there are more of these things.

How could she know that this thing was edible when she had barely seen it a few times?

Even if someone catches it, it will be made into a specimen.

I won't eat it at all.

Zhang Weiguo was lucky to come across that forest.

Being able to catch so many gibbon macaques is a big harvest.

"You'll know when I'm done."

After Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, he got up and started cooking.

Breakfast is usually very simple, just porridge and pickles.

Families with better conditions will go out and buy some buns.

What about soy milk and fried dough sticks?

The most common food is porridge.

Zhang Weiguo got up and cooked porridge.

Then, start making this thing.

The best way to make this is to fry it.

No special skills are required.

Zhang Weiguo poured oil into the pot and heated it up.

When the oil starts to smoke slightly and small bubbles appear, pour the silkie in.

Cover with a pot lid.

When you fry this thing, the oil will splatter everywhere.

It hurts to be jumped on.

Cover the pot for one minute and then take the lid off.

At this time, all the moisture has been blown dry.

There will be no oil collapse.

Stir the chickpeas with a spoon.

Continue frying until it is dry and fried through and the surface turns yellow, which means it is done.

Zhang Weiguo fished the things out.

While still hot, sprinkle some salt on top.

These can’t be wasted, they can be used for cooking.

When the oil cools down, the residue inside sinks to the bottom.

Just pour out the oil.

Ran Qiuye has already woken up the two little girls.
