You know, if this is sold on the black market, they will just give some soap, soap coupons and toilet paper coupons. Like sugar and food coupons, it would be good if they could give one, it is impossible to give all, not to mention that the food coupons are only for 5 jin!
Aunt Wang Er was very satisfied. Not only did she agree immediately, she also took the initiative to say:
"You city kids don't know how to kill or clean up. I'll kill it for you later, pluck out all the fur, and send it back to you when I'm done!"
"I'll clean up all the internal organs for you. When the time comes, you can stir-fry them with some chili peppers. It will be delicious!"
Lin Manman just didn't want to clean up. It would take a long time to clean up a big goose, so it would be a good thing to have someone to help!
However, Lin Manman still wanted the fine down from the big goose, so she specifically asked:
"Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Wang Er, but I want the small fine fluff on the goose's neck and belly. Can you put it in a small basin for me?"
Although Aunt Wang was puzzled as to what Lin Manman was asking for, she agreed without hesitation, as it was not a big deal. She just picked out some goose feathers when she was picking them.
"That's fine. It won't take much effort. I'll go catch the goose now, and when I'm done, I'll send it to you!"
Aunt Wang Er has ordered a goose, so Aunt Wang San doesn’t need to go. Just wait until she has finished eating and then go and ask!
Besides, Second Aunt Wang and Third Aunt Wang are sisters-in-law. If she bought from Second Aunt Wang's, Third Aunt Wang would soon find out. She gave more tickets than the black market. If Third Aunt Wang wanted to sell the goose, she would definitely ask her first!
The goose has been bought and the main dish has been decided. As for the other dishes, the meat is readily available in Lin Manman’s thatched cottage. As for potatoes and cabbage, Aunt Wang also sent a basket in advance, which is enough!
Lin Manman and Aunt Wang's family started to move Lin Manman's things.
Because Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing will be watching over them in the future, and Lin Shouwang is especially meticulous, so Lin Manman specially filled every place in the thatched house with things, waiting to deliver them when the time comes to move!
Aunt Wang sighed as she moved things:
"Lin Zhiqing, you have so many things. They are more complete than what our whole family has. There are only two big iron pots. You won't have to worry about cooking and boiling water in the future!"
Lin Manman nodded and said:
"That's right, I bought these specially two days ago. My eldest brother saved the tickets for me. Now I can use them a lot!"
Aunt Wang didn't doubt it. After all, Lin Guoping was a big boy and didn't need many tickets in the army, so he saved the rest and gave them to his younger brothers and sisters!
Besides, when Lin Manman came, her luggage was particularly large. Every time she came back these two times, she also brought large and small bags, so it is normal to have a lot of things!
After moving, Aunt Wang helped to clean up the house. Wang Qingmiao and Lin Manman, Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing started to paste newspapers on the walls. Aunt Wang and Grandma Bai started cooking!
Pasting newspapers is a delicate job. Both of them have to check every piece of newspaper carefully to see if there is any important speech. Such newspapers cannot be posted on the wall. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives sees them, it will be a big deal!
Aunt Wang and Grandma Bai don’t know many words, so they didn’t help with this and only left it to Lin Manman and Wang Qingmiao, Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing!
The four people cooperated very well. Lin Manman and Lin Shouwang were responsible for reading the newspapers, Wang Qingmiao was responsible for applying paste, and Lin Shangjing was specifically responsible for pasting!
Six people worked for an entire afternoon and the walls were pasted and the dishes were cooked.
The team leader, Uncle Zhang and his two sons, Uncle Zhuzi and his son and son-in-law, all came!
When everyone is here, we can serve the food. Looking at the neatly cleaned house, Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhuzi are very proud. The team leader also praised Uncle Zhang:
"Lao Zhang, you built this house very well, and you put a lot of thought into it. These kangs are also well made. I've watched Xiaolin light the kang these past two days, and it's very easy to light, heats up quickly, and doesn't emit any smoke. When my kang is torn down later, you should make a good one for me!"
Uncle Zhang said proudly:
"I can't accept that. The house was built well because I supervised it. But I didn't make the kang. That was done by my eldest brother!"
"My eldest brother, don't be fooled by his quietness. He can get nothing out of a fart even with three sticks. He has decent skills and likes to think about things. Now he is better than me at making a kang and building a stove!"
"In the past two years, all the tasks of building the stove or setting up the kang have been assigned to him. Now everyone recognizes him as the one who does it, and no one asks me for help anymore!"
When the captain heard this, he exaggerated to the eldest son of the master:
"Wei Min is a good worker. This kid is really talented. With this skill, what else can I say? He won't have to worry about his life in the future!"
After talking about Uncle Zhang, the captain praised Uncle Zhuzi again:
"Your furniture looks solid and will not break in 30 years. It's just the paint. Why is it so special..."
The captain wanted to say it was ugly, but he was afraid of affecting the mood of Lin Manman and the other two, so he deliberately changed it to special!
Uncle Zhuzi pointed at Lin Manman and said:
"There's no paint here. I just added a few coats of tung oil. This wasn't my idea. It was specifically requested by Lin Zhiqing!"
"All the cabinets at home are made this way. Lin Zhiqing said it looks good this way!"
Uncle Zhuzi was full of complaints about this. It was a pretty good piece of furniture and he had mixed the black paint well, but Lin Zhiqing didn't allow him to use it and told him to just paint it with tung oil and apply two more coats of tung oil!
This saves a lot of money, after all, the cost of black paint is much higher than tung oil!
He was afraid that Lin Manman was trying to save money, so he specifically emphasized that the price he quoted was for the black paint and he would not charge me extra!
As a result, Lin Manman told him firmly that she wanted tung oil because she thought it looked good!
What a beautiful grandma's legs! The wood grain is clearly visible, it's so ugly. I really don't understand the taste of the educated youth in the city!
Uncle Zhuzi, who felt he had gotten a good deal by not painting the table black, even made two small kang tables for Lin Manman so that she could do needlework on the kang more conveniently!
Later, Lin Manman asked Uncle Zhuzi to help make more wooden racks for drying clothes and vegetables. Uncle Zhuzi also specially made a few more, a total of twelve, and Uncle Zhuzi didn't ask for any money!
However, Uncle Zhuzi still had a lot of complaints about not painting the cabinet black. He would rather put things together and then paint them than build the cabinet like this!
If someone came to Lin Zhiqing's house and saw this, and asked him, he would find out that he was the one who beat him. How embarrassing it would be!
In fact, the reason why Lin Manman used tung oil instead of painting was not only because she liked the color and texture of the wood itself, but there was another important reason.
That's how environmentally friendly it is. She paints the cabinets in the middle of winter and leaves them all indoors. Doesn't she want to live anymore?
But people at that time didn’t understand this. The main reason was that they didn’t make a cabinet for ten or eight years, and each time they made it was only 1-2, so it was no big deal!
But Lin Manman couldn't accept this. She even painted all the furniture in the house. She felt that she, Lin Shouwang and Lin Shangjing were not dying fast enough!
