"Alright! I promise to complete the mission!"
After a few words, he left the office. Ye Zhiqiu rode his bicycle to the gate, handed in his pass, and left.
Being a worker is so boring! I'm better off being myself. I already have the snakes I need to purchase! I just need to wait for the day after tomorrow to send them back to the factory.
Ye Zhiqiu ran to Chongwenmen and searched for a long time in the bookstore before finding a book called "Common Life Skills Encyclopedia".
As soon as he opened the catalog, he knew it was exactly what he was looking for. It not only contained information on oil extraction and sugar making, but also on salt drying, which were not the most important things! It also taught how to make soap, gunpowder, and landmines...
Ye Zhiqiu was confused at first, but then he realized it was normal! There was a nationwide military training session later, and the children would shoot all kinds of guns to familiarize themselves with them!
We do love peace. Stop promoting people from other countries all day long. The Chinese are the real fighting nation!
After spending eighty cents to buy the book, Ye Zhiqiu got on his bicycle and rode towards the alley. A moment later, he rode out again, the book in his space, but he also put ten rabbits with their legs tied up in the basket.
The pigeon market at Chongwenmen is not as lively as the pigeon market at Tianqiao. When Ye Zhiqiu came here, he found that there were fewer people setting up stalls in a concealed manner.
Because whenever you put something out on display, you will easily be targeted by the red armbands, but Ye Zhiqiu is not afraid because he is a buyer!
It's true that the purchaser's purchases were not legal, but even if the red armbands arrested him and took him back to the police station, they wouldn't even fine him and would just let him go, so when they encountered the purchaser, they were too lazy to pay any attention.
Which system doesn't have buyers? Even the neighborhood offices have buyers, and the Public Security Bureau has unplanned buyers! And those red armbands are members of the joint defense team, who are also affiliated with the neighborhood office or the Public Security Bureau.
So Ye Zhiqiu found a place, took away the sack covering the saddle basket, stood aside lazily, put his left foot on top of his right, lit a cigarette and looked at the passers-by.
As soon as someone stopped looking at him, he pointed at the pannier and started making gestures for four dollars and a half.
Some people think it is too expensive, while others bargain. When there is no one else around, Ye Zhiqiu just says it weighs at least four kilograms, and he can basically sell one.
He would replenish one rabbit from the space after selling one, and he stopped selling rabbits at 11 o'clock. He put the rabbits back into the space, making these rabbits the lucky ones.
Ye Zhiqiu rode his bicycle and started back home. Half an hour later, he returned to the door.
I prepared a piece of pork belly, about one pound, the fattest part. I didn't bring the liver, but the intestines and this piece of meat were enough to satisfy my craving for dinner.
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the yard carrying the meat and pushing his bicycle. After parking the bicycle, he took the meat to the kitchen and handed it to Wang Xiaolan who was washing vegetables.
"Mom, this piece of meat isn't lean at all. If it's oily, it'll probably just be like dregs. How about making dumplings with it?"
Wang Xiaolan frowned and shook her head, saying, "It hasn't rained every day, so I'm afraid there's going to be a severe drought. Let's save the white flour! With white flour, there's no need to worry. When the time comes, we can mix it with other grains to make steamed buns, and we won't have to go hungry."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't force it. How could he explain this? Since she had such a sense of crisis when she brought up the drought, there was no need for him to object and dispel her vigilance.
But I have to find time and an excuse to get some food back! Eating coarse food is not the life I want. If it really comes to that, I might as well escape to Hong Kong Island!
"Okay, you decide! I'm going to go get some water first. I forgot to bring my kettle!"
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the living room and saw Ye Bailu sleeping on the table. He shook his head and smiled. He didn't know what this girl was dreaming about, she was drooling non-stop.
He poured himself a bowl of water and drank it in one gulp, then sat down and lit a cigarette. It was incredibly hot, with a cloudless sky. If the weather continued like this, it would be surprising if the grain production didn't decrease.
After finishing a cigarette, Ye Wubing came back with a bucket and ran straight into the living room.
"Brother, you're back! Look at these snails! I always pick the bigger ones! I need to drink some water! The sun is so strong! It's almost making me faint!"
Ye Zhiqiu walked over, bent down, and scooped up a handful of snails. They were indeed quite large. By this time, most of them had already laid their eggs. If they had just laid their babies, they would be impossible to eat.
The climate this year is abnormal, and it warmed up early. Otherwise, there would still be snails giving birth in Beijing in August.
"Second brother, you're strolling along the river all day. If you come across wild perilla, pick as much as you can! Remember not to pick the ones grown by others. That's stealing. If someone catches you, they'll break your legs and you'll be in trouble, okay?"
Ye Wubing nodded seriously and said, "I'm not stupid. Why would I pick them when there are people nearby? Besides, I've come across a lot of wild perilla. I'm tired of plucking wild ones. I don't bother plucking those grown by others!"
"Then I don't know about you. Anyway, if that day really comes and Big Brother isn't by your side, you deserve to be beaten to death!"
This second brother is a rebellious person. I hope he can do what he says! Otherwise, if he is a foreigner and gets caught stealing people's crops, he might even kill them!
This is not uncommon. Most people believe that if you steal a needle when you are young, you will steal gold when you grow up! So a severe education is definitely necessary!
Wang Xiaolan came over with a plate of chili peppers, Ye Zhiqiu woke up Ye Bailu, and Ye Wubing was very conscious and took a bowl to make porridge for everyone.
After drinking two bowls of corn porridge with chili peppers, Ye Zhiqiu returned to his room. He lay on the bed and took out the ordinary skill encyclopedia he had just bought and began to read it carefully.
The content is not very detailed, it just tells you the production method. If it involves proportions, it will be written down in full.
After reading for a while, Ye Zhiqiu felt sleepy. He put the book aside and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up again, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon! He got up, stretched, and flipped directly from the catalog to the content of oil extraction. After a look, he found that it was not difficult!
If one hundred kilograms of raw peanuts are squeezed, more than thirty kilograms of oil will be produced, while if ripe peanuts are squeezed, more than forty kilograms of oil can be produced.
Cooked pressing is not difficult. It is just crushing the peanuts and frying them. The oil squeezed out in this way will be more fragrant and can be stored for a longer time. Raw pressing will spoil more easily and cannot be stored for such a long time.
But what's the storage time for oil?
Ye Zhiqiu put his thoughts into the space, first selected a portion of five or six pounds of peanuts, removed the shells, and then used the power of space to press them until the oil began to flow into the lunch box below!
That’s how the raw oil was made!
At this time, Ye Wubing's voice came from outside.
"Brother, someone is looking for you!"
