Volume 1 Chapter 32 A Trip to the Scrapyard
After hearing what she said, Sheng Wanze quickly washed his hands and rubbed them several times before he was satisfied.
"By the way, how do you know about bacteria?"
Sheng Wanyan was confused by his questions, but she quickly calmed down.
"At least I'm a high school graduate. I read about it in a book before."
Sheng Wanze nodded when he heard this. After all, his sister had good grades before, so he believed this.
“It’s good to read more books, but don’t take some books home.”
Sheng Wanze reminded her and Sheng Wanyan nodded. She knew what was important.
"I know I'm not going to take that home."
In this era when labor is the most glorious, having a medical book or a foreign book in your home can be fatal.
If it is discovered, your whole family will be sent down with you.
Sheng Wanze gave her the chopped meat, and Sheng Wanyan asked him to leave and she could do it herself.
Everyone was listening to the radio in the living room, and Sheng Wanyan secretly added fish sauce and honey to it.
These things were not available at home, so she could only take them out from the space.
Add light soy sauce and cooking wine, start stirring clockwise for five minutes, then add sugar, salt and pepper.
There were no ovens back then, so we could only use the frying pan at home to cook it. It just had to taste the same, as long as it was cooked.
After the Sheng Wanyan was made, I cut it into small pieces and tasted one piece myself.
It was quite successful and very chewy. It was all meat anyway, so Sheng Wanze wouldn't dislike it.
When the family saw that she had finished making it, everyone tried a piece and said it was delicious.
"Put it in a can. Xiaoze takes two cans away and keeps the remaining one at home."
Sheng's mother distributed it skillfully. Sheng Wanze felt that with this meat jerky, he could replenish his energy when he was tired from training.
His sister is becoming more and more dexterous, and who knows which wolf cub will steal her things in the future.
You know what, his sister is getting more and more beautiful, and she looks very pretty.
But when she thought about getting married in the future and if her husband treated her badly, she would feel angry.
After all, his sister was raised by him before he joined the army. He raised her until Sheng Wanyan graduated from elementary school at the age of 13 and he went to join the army.
Her parents were busy at work and her grandparents had to take care of the family, so she would play behind her own butt every day with two snot bubbles in her nose.
The family went to bed early. There was nowhere good to go in those days, so in order to save oil lamps, everyone chose to go to bed early.
Sheng Wanyan happened to have a day off the next day, so she thought of going to the supply and marketing cooperative to use her ticket which was about to expire.
She said goodbye to her family and went out. Sheng's mother asked her to buy a bag of salt.
"good."
Sheng Wanyan was riding her bicycle when she suddenly thought of a good place to go, which was the scrap yard.
She read the heroines of those period novels and knew that they could always find a lot of good things every time they went to the scrap yard.
It was a good opportunity for her to go and take a look. Even if she didn't find anything good, she could at least make herself familiar with the place, which would be convenient for the future.
According to the original owner's memory, Sheng Wanyan rode a bicycle to the scrap yard.
But she stopped nearby, found a place where there was no one around, and put the bicycle in the space.
I put 5 fruit candies in my pocket and walked to the scrap yard.
The scrap yard was guarded by an auntie. When she saw Sheng Wanyan coming in, she immediately stopped her and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Auntie, I'm here to buy some waste paper and wood to start the fire."
Sheng Wanyan stuffed five fruit candies into her hand. The aunt guarding the gate took a look and waved her hand to let her in.
"Don't take what you shouldn't take."
"Okay."
Sheng Wanyan said that they entered the scrap yard, which was filled with all kinds of mess.
The burnt table and the stools with missing arms and legs, when Sheng Wanyan saw those expensive tables and chairs, she felt so wasteful and even more distressed.
Any one of these would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in later times, but now they are destroyed.
He sighed, squatted down and rummaged through the pile of waste paper on the ground. It was obvious that the things here were some paintings, medical books, and foreign books.
Moreover, the painting was so lifelike that even though half of it was burned, it was still not difficult to see its beauty.
But there are not many good ones left. There is no complete one. Some are torn into several pieces or burnt.
After searching for a long time among the waste papers, I found a set of mathematics, physics and chemistry books.
This is the review material for the resumed college entrance examination. When the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, those people went crazy just to get a copy of the study material.
After putting this set of review materials into the space, she no longer had any hope in the pile of waste paper that had been burned, and could only start with the destroyed furniture.
Sheng Wanyan looked at the door and saw that no one was passing by, so she opened every drawer and looked.
Some of the drawers had boxes in them, but the contents were gone.
Sheng Wanyan saw several intact jewelry boxes made of sandalwood and immediately put them all into the space.
These are all antiques and valuable things. Sheng Wanyan knocked on the table legs and even the stool legs.
There are also some wooden sticks, which were cut from the tables and stools.
Sheng Wanyan knocked on it and found that the stool legs really did have hollow legs. Sheng Wanyan turned the stool over and took a closer look. She then noticed that the bottom of the stool legs was blocked with a piece of black wooden board.
Sheng Wanyan pulled out the black wooden board and shook out everything inside the stool legs.
A black handkerchief fell out, and when Sheng Wanyan opened it, she found two gold bars, a jade ring and a pair of ruby earrings.
Sheng Wanyan quickly put the black wooden board into the space and put it back to its original place.
I went through the rest, but didn't get much out of it.
Fearing that it would take too long, the aunt at the door noticed and took out a pile of waste paper.
The aunt checked it and made sure there was no problem before letting her take it: "Here's a nickel."
Sheng Wanyan gave her the money and then left the scrap yard. The feeling of treasure hunting was quite exciting.
Sheng Wanyan found a deserted place, put the waste paper into the space, and took out the bicycle.
Waste paper can be used to cook in the space. There is a stove in the space, which is just right for starting a fire.
I rode my bike to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought the salt that Sheng's mother wanted, as well as a pound of white sugar and a pound of brown sugar.
She still had four kilograms of ordinary food coupons in her hand, so she bought two kilograms of pastries. When she saw there was rice, she also bought two kilograms.
I just used up my expiring tickets and bought so many things for less than 3 dollars.
But she didn't expect to see Sheng Xiuying as soon as she left the supply and marketing cooperative.
This time, Sheng Xiuying was not as glorious as last time, with new clothes and a new hairband. Instead, the clothes she wore were patched.
Sheng Xiuying hurried over when she saw her. She thought Sheng Wanyan would come to coax her with good things in a few days like she did before.
As a result, she waited for more than half a month but didn't see anyone, and she also heard that Sheng Wanyan had become a worker!
