It's considered lucky to be able to eat these buns and other things. Those who came late and missed the opportunity can only have black-flour steamed buns or cornmeal steamed cakes. We have cornmeal steamed buns, which are hard and sore to the throat.
So the sense of happiness comes from comparison.
Thinking of this, how could Yi Xiaoqiu not be in a good mood? Anyone would be secretly happy.
After just one day of work, the new female educated youth at the educated youth center are going to build houses to live in!
This news shocked everyone in the Seventh Company.
This is building a house, not making clothes. They actually built five rooms, one for each person. These new female educated youth are really rich!
The Great Northern Wilderness is a vast area, and every household has a large front and back yard, but this does not mean that the house is big enough for a family to live in.
Who wouldn't want to build two more houses? It takes manpower, material resources, and financial resources.
Although the mud bricks used to build the house were all made by ourselves, it still costs money to hire someone, right?
You mean exchanging labor? Well, some people come to help build houses, so that's reasonable.
It’s not good to be stingy if some people don’t build houses!
Not only do you invite people, you also have to prepare meals for them, which is a huge expense at this time.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, building a house is a major event in life, and it cannot be built without some strength.
The few female educated youth who had just arrived at the educated youth point are already busy building houses. What else could it be except that they have too much money?
For a moment, the people in the Seventh Company were talking about it and were full of envy.
The Seventh Company is managed by Fang Qingshan, and the overall atmosphere is still good, but there are still a few bad apples.
For example, Lai Cuihua and her five sons.
At this time, they were discussing how to deal with the new educated youth who were building houses.
"Da Li, those newly arrived educated youth are so rich, why don't we target someone else?" Lai Cuihua looked greedy.
He shook his head vigorously. He was worried that Yi Xiaoqiu had broken her arm, and he still sent some things to her from time to time. He had given so much, and now he was unwilling to give up! "Mom, Yi Zhiqing has a bicycle and a watch. When I marry her, these are all yours."
Lai Cuihua nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll give those new educated youth to you as your brothers."
Dashan looked puzzled. "Mom, I'm happy with what you said, but the key is what to do with people?"
Lai Cuihua sneered, "You five brothers have already chosen your partners. I, your mother, have plenty of ways to get those educated youth to marry into our family."
Her five sons are growing older every year. If she doesn't put some effort into their development, they will probably remain single for the rest of their lives.
The five brothers, Lu Dali, looked at each other and simultaneously revealed a sinister smile.
Not only Lai Cuihua and her son had this idea, but others who couldn't find wives also started to make plans.
At Boss Chen's house, a woman in her fifties with triangular eyes and a stern face looked at her son Chen Zhiwen with shining eyes.
This person is Chen’s eldest sister-in-law, Zhang Xiaohua.
"Son, how are things going between you and that Su Zhiqing?"
Chen Zhiwen lowered his head, a smile flashed across his face, but he said nothing.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhang thought the two of them had a chance, but her son was too embarrassed to speak up. "The same thing about Su Zhiqing. We don't have a house, and she'll be moving in sooner or later. Why are we still building one? Isn't it just that she has too much money and nowhere to spend it? You have to keep a close eye on her."
Chen Zhiwen nodded without saying anything. In fact, he didn't feel confident at all.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang nodded with satisfaction.
After three or four days of rain, the muddy dirt dried up in one day, and construction on the house could finally begin.
Construction of Shen Ruofei and her friends' house is also about to begin, but it will have to wait until the workers get off work in the afternoon before it can officially start.
Today's farm work is to pick up the half-stubbled wheat stalks left in the field, and then make some base fertilizer for the field. In a few days, we will replant corn, soybeans, sesame, cotton, peanuts and other crops. In short, we will plant a little bit of everything.
After work in the afternoon, Gao Dazhuang and his group went straight to the educated youth site, where they built houses while waiting for meals.
In order to build the house, the relationship between the new and old educated youth was actually eased a little. Old educated youth like Lin Dongyan also came to help, especially Gao Xiaowen and Liu Xiaoping.
As for why they came to help, it was of course because they hoped that Lu Rongrong and the others would move out as soon as possible!
After they moved out, Gao Xiaowen, Liu Xiaoping and Zhao Shuhong lived in the same room, and it became more spacious.
Gao Xiaowen also spent a lot of money this time. She picked a lot of vegetables from the vegetable garden and prepared a meal for everyone. She also helped to prepare it.
The dishes provided by the cafeteria are definitely not enough.
Gu Chengfeng got some pork from somewhere, not much, just a little over five pounds.
Five catties of pork was a lot at that time, but there were so many people. There were more than thirty educated youth and people building houses, so five catties of pork was not considered a lot.
"Leave this meat to me. I'll make you a pot of braised lion's head."
Yi Xiaoqiu suddenly thought of the braised lion's head that he had eaten in the state-owned restaurant last time. It tasted quite good. He happened to have pork now, so he asked the housekeeper to make it.
Gu Chengfeng was a little hesitant, but didn't know how to refuse for a moment. After all, in his opinion, Yi Xiaoqiu also meant well.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care about that and reached out to take the pork.
Not to mention, although wild rabbits and pheasants taste fresh, they have a strong flavor and the meat is not as fragrant as the pork we have today.
Yi Xiaoqiu also felt a little craving for pork.
Gu Chengfeng extended his hand to Erkang, "Hey! Is this too much trouble?"
He followed and was about to chase into the door.
"It's not a bother, it's not a bother." Yi Xiaoqiu walked in and was about to close the door. "Let me tell you, this braised lion's head is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. It's not something that can be passed on to anyone else. So don't come in."
After saying that, the door closed with a bang.
Gu Chengfeng was standing outside the door. When he turned around, he saw Xie Xingyi and Lu Huaian looking at him as if he were a fool.
Doesn’t he know what Yi Xiaoqiu’s craft is?
The food she cooked was just barely edible, and last time, it even caused Xie Xingyu to get poisoned and go to the clinic.
In the past, whenever there was any wild game, Luo Zhiqing would cook it, and she would just contribute her mouth.
Gu Chengfeng actually listened to her nonsense. They were thankful that the braised lion's head was cooked. Alas! Such a big piece of meat was wasted like this. It hurts!
As for why they didn't step forward to stop her, wasn't it because Yi Xiaoqiu would find trouble every day, and she hadn't caused any trouble today! They didn't want to get close and be personally attacked.
Lu Huaian: "You, ah!"
Xie Xingyi: "Fine pork, ah!"
The two looked very sad. They loved to eat the most among the new educated youth, but they also hated to see food wasted the most.
Five pounds of pork! That's five pounds of top-quality pork, with both fat and lean meat.
The construction of the house next door was in full swing, and here, Gu Chengfeng and several other male educated youth were waiting eagerly.
