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 400: Boiling Lard

Zhang Weiguo plans to plant more corn in the space.

Anyway, these things can be kept for a long time.

Zhang Weiguo planned to send them some raw corn, and they would just grind it themselves.

There's no problem even if you leave it for a year or two.

This way, even if they run out of food, they can use it to help in an emergency.

You don’t have to worry about food all day long.

Life is already very difficult for them, and they still have to find ways to get food. It's really not something a human can do.

Zhang Weiguo harvested the corn and planted another crop.

Zhang Weiguo also wanted to give them some lard.

You can’t boil lard in a courtyard house because the smell is too strong.

If Zhang Weiguo were to boil lard in his courtyard, someone would definitely come with a bowl to ask for it.

Zhang Weiguo planned to go to the old winery to boil lard. There was a lot of space there, so he didn't have to worry about the smell spreading.

Zhang Weiguo got a lot of fat just to make lard.

When we arrived at the old winery, we saw a few old men playing with two little kids.

The old men all smiled more often, it seems that this child has picked the right one.

In the past, although life was good, there was no smile on their faces.

It’s different now, they have constant smiles on their faces.

This is really raising the two little guys as grandchildren.

"Old man, you smile more often, and you seem to be in a good mood."

"That's not the case. I'm so happy."

Zhang Weiguo greeted the two little guys.

Give them each a handful of White Rabbit milk candy.

This made them very happy, and they immediately shared the food with their grandfathers.

The old men will definitely be eaten, but they are still very happy to see their children being so filial.

With so many people teaching him, Zhang Weiguo doesn't worry about being taught badly.

Zhang Weiguo took the things and went to the back, where there was a special kitchen that Zhang Weiguo had built himself.

I cook for him and Dashan. Sometimes when they come, I cook for myself.

I don’t always eat with the old men, sometimes I eat alone.

The old men also have kitchens, which are all in front.

They seldom go there because that place is where wine is brewed.

They can drink alcohol, but they don’t know how to make wine.

They had no shortage of wine; the mountains would bring it to them when it was brewed.

Zhang Weiguo cleaned the pot and poured some water into it.

Zhang Weiguo planned to boil lard with water so that the lard would be white.

Zhang Weiguo cut the pork into small pieces, then poured it into the pot and began to stir.

In this way, the lard will slowly come out, and it's done when the oil residue turns golden yellow.

Pour the oil into the jar.

Zhang Weiguo cooked another pot. He had prepared a lot of pork, which could not fit in one pot.

Zhang Weiguo boiled another pot of lard.

The oil residue is also very delicious and tastes very fragrant.

It is very good to use this to cook cabbage.

Zhang Weiguo looked at the oil in the pot.

Let’s cook a pot of mutton soup for the children.

Zhang Weiguo took out a barrel of wine, each of which held 100 kilograms.

Zhang Weiguo took out the mutton from the space and put it in the pot to cook.

After the meat was cooked, Zhang Weiguo took it out.

Pour the soup into the bucket and then boil another pot of water.

Zhang Weiguo began to cut the mutton into slices.

Pour the chopped mutton into the bucket as well.

Pour the boiled water into the bucket again.

The 100-jin bucket is now considered full.

With these two jars of lard and a bucket of mutton soup, the children can have a good meal.

Zhang Weiguo didn’t know whether these children had ever had mutton soup.

It took Zhang Weiguo several hours to get these things done.

After Zhang Weiguo said goodbye to the old men, he left. He wanted to go back to sleep and wait until night to visit the orphanage.

Zhang Weiguo slept until the second half of the night.

Get up, put on your clothes, go out directly through the window, and climb over the wall to get out.

After arriving at the orphanage, Zhang Weiguo became familiar with the place.

After waiting for a while and making sure that everyone was asleep, Zhang Weiguo climbed over the wall and went in.

Still came to the dean's room.

Zhang Weiguo put the corn at the door.

He then took out another bucket of mutton soup and two jars of lard. The two jars of white lard looked delicious.

Zhang Weiguo confirmed that everything was ready and took them out.

Knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Zhang Weiguo went straight to the room, but still did not see the dean.

The dean came out and saw what was outside.

First he looked at the two jars of lard, then opened the mutton soup.

Finally I saw corn.

The dean looked around but couldn't find anyone.

Then he went and knocked on other people's doors, asking them to come out and move their things.

They were very happy to come out and see so many things.

First, the two jars and the bucket were moved to the dean's room.

Then the corn is moved into the warehouse.

These are corn kernels and can be stored for a long time.

During this period, they ate sweet potatoes, which were the most abundant food.

After the move was completed, everyone looked at the mutton soup and wondered what to do.

The smell made them salivate.

They want to eat too.

"First find a pot and pour out the soup."

Someone found a few pots and poured the soup into them.

Pour out the meat again.

So he told them to bring the children's bowls.

Zhang Weiguo looked at the bowls they were using and found that many of them had cracks on them.

Zhang Weiguo thought that since he didn’t buy bowls, he should have bought some bowls and plates for them earlier.
