Chapter 173 Welfare
"My Lord, it's so hot, I have no appetite to eat."
Wang Yuanchao went into the house, took out an enamel jar, poured half a cup of spiritual spring water, handed it to Zhang Yuanyuan and said, "Come, wife, drink some water first.
If you have no appetite, how about we have some Hunan dishes to go with the rice today?"
Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Wang Yuanchao curiously and asked, "How about pepper-pounded preserved eggs, pan-fried crucian carp, salad cucumber, stir-fried water spinach, and vegetable and lean meat porridge for you?"
Zhang Yuanyuan squinted her eyes happily, smiling so hard that her eyes were cracked, and said:
"Yes, sir, I'll listen to you."
Widow Du said, "Yuan Chao, you should teach me and I will do it.
Now other people's families can't even get enough to eat, and you are still picky about food. I really don't know what to say to you."
Wang Yuanchao didn't think it was a big deal. He had no appetite in the hot weather, which was just his body's instinct. So he said, "Mom, it's okay. Other people's homes are other people's homes. Our home is our home. Fortunately, there is only Liu Qianqian next to our home. Other homes are far away from our home.
We eat whatever we want, and no one else knows.
By the way, are there enough eggs at home?
Now the poultry breeding base produces thousands of eggs every day, and several units in the city cannot purchase so many eggs every day.
The warehouse of the poultry breeding base has accumulated tens of thousands of eggs. I plan to talk to Secretary Zeng about it and let the villagers of the brigade buy some eggs without tickets, as a benefit for the poultry breeding base to the brigade. "
After the spring ploughing, Widow Du stayed at home every day to accompany Zhang Yuanyuan and do housework. She knew the dishes at home very well. "The eggs at home are only enough for Yuanyuan to eat. If there is a chance, it would be good to buy some eggs to supplement the nutrition for everyone."
"Okay, mother, but we don't lack nutrition at home, right?"
Widow Du responded and said with a smile: "Hey, look at my mouth, I'm used to it. By the way, Yuan Chao, are you familiar with the educated youth next door named Liu Qianqian?"
"A girl with a lot of ideas, mother, what's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing, it's just that this girl has been coming to our house recently to bring food and play with Yuanyuan.
I don’t know her very well, and I’m worried that Yuanyuan will suffer.”
Wang Yuanchao thought about it and felt a little unhappy. After all, his family had a lot of secrets and he didn't like outsiders coming home. So he looked at Zhang Yuanyuan and asked, "Yuanyuan, do you like Liu Qianqian to come and chat with you?"
Zhang Yuanyuan covered her stomach with both hands and smiled foolishly, "My dear, I don't care. Anyway, she basically talks to me when she comes. I have little experience and can't say anything."
Wang Yuanchao said:
"Mom, from now on, when I'm not home during the day, we should keep the door closed.
We have a lot of secrets in our home, and if outsiders come in frequently, problems may arise.
If you and Yuanyuan are bored at home, you can go to the village more often. There is no need to bring people home. What do you think?"
"Well, Yuan Chao, I'll listen to you. I'll pay attention next time."
"Okay, I'll go pick some vegetables from the vegetable garden and prepare to cook."
After that, Wang Yuanchao came to the vegetable garden in the yard and picked some hot peppers, some basil, some onions, some chili peppers, some water spinach, and a few Chinese cabbages.
Then he fished out three crucian carps weighing six or seven taels each from the fish pond in the yard.
Ask my mother-in-law to put some rice, shredded meat, and water in a pot and start cooking porridge. Prepare the Chinese cabbage leaves and put them in after the porridge is boiled.
Then I asked my mother-in-law to take the cleaned peppers, put them in the bathtub, and roast them one by one. After washing them,
Wang Yuanchao took out the preserved eggs and garlic seeds he had made himself, cut the garlic seeds into grains, and
asked his mother-in-law to use the preserved eggs, garlic seeds, and pounded chili peppers, add a little salt and soy sauce, and then mash the chili peppers and preserved eggs, and it was done.
His mother-in-law could cook the other dishes, so Wang Yuanchao simply came out of the kitchen to accompany his young wife, and left the rest of the dishes to his mother-in-law.
After a while, the food was ready and the family of three started to eat.
"Wow, sir, this spicy preserved egg is so delicious, soft and sticky, and spicy. It tastes really good and goes well with rice."
Wang Yuanchao looked at his young wife lovingly and said with a smile:
"Wife, mother, if you think it tastes good, eat more. We still have a lot of preserved eggs at home. Now I know how to cook them. You can eat them anytime you want. This dish is easy to make."
"Yes, it is delicious. The more you eat it, the tastier it becomes. It is indeed easy to make. We can eat it often in the future."
After dinner, Wang Yuanchao came to the educated youth site and heard Fan Zhaodi's weak voice, "Really, what I said is true. There are so many chicken, duck and goose eggs in the warehouse of the breeding farm now. We can't eat them all. We can't eat them all at all. I didn't lie to you."
"Zhao Wei, it seems that you can't enter the warehouse. How did you know?"
"The statistician is not here today. He seems to have gone to the old breeding farm. When I was shipping the goods, Director Wang saw me and gave me the temporary and notebook and asked me to ship the goods.
That’s how I knew.”
When Wang Yuanchao heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the warehouse inventory. This was not confidential information. However, Wang Yuanchao felt that Fan Zhaodi was a little unreliable. Although this information was not confidential, she was too talkative. She sold the information when she returned to the educated youth center. After entering the yard, he said:
"Fan Zhiqing didn't lie. It was indeed me who asked her to go to the warehouse to ship out the goods today.
As for chicken, duck and goose eggs, there are indeed a large number of them stored in the warehouse.
And I plan to discuss this with the village officials tomorrow.
We have too many eggs in our warehouse now, so we can consider selling a batch to the villagers without tickets as a benefit for everyone."
All the educated youth became slightly excited when they heard Wang Yuanchao's words. Hu Meng asked in a daze, "Captain, can we educated youth enjoy this welfare of the villagers and buy some eggs without tickets to improve our food?"
Wang Yuanchao answered directly:
"If the village cadres agree with my opinion and provide welfare to the villagers, you can also buy eggs without tickets to improve your meals.
You will have to wait until I discuss the details with the village cadres tomorrow before you can find out."
"Captain, what is the price of eggs?"
"If we can sell it to villagers, we will definitely sell it to them at the purchase price of the buyers, about 4 cents each.
If you want to know more, please wait for my news, okay?"
All the educated youth cheered. God knows what they eat every day now.
Every day they cooked wild vegetables and green vegetables in water, and ate corn porridge and steamed buns. No one knew how to hunt, so it was difficult for them to eat any meat . Eggs are nutritious and are a good thing for all the educated youth.
Moreover, it was so cheap at only 4 cents each that all the educated youth were filled with happy fantasies.
Alas, another chapter has been reviewed. I am worried every time I update it now. This chapter will probably not be released until tomorrow morning. I am sorry, fellow book friends.
