Chapter 24: Deciding to Hold on to Your Legs



There are actually many kinds of soap formulas. By adding milk or spices, it can become a perfumed soap.

Supplies are in short supply now, so Yu You chose to do the simplest thing.

First, pour the oil into a small bowl and heat it in a large pot. Then pour half a bag of alkaline noodles into a bowl and add water to dissolve it.

When the oil and lye water are slightly hot, slowly pour the lye water into the oil, stirring constantly.

Finally, add some salt and continue stirring to increase the hardness.

Without a mold, Yu You simply used this small basin and placed the basin of soap liquid in the corner of the kitchen.

If nothing goes wrong, it will basically take shape in one day, and the soap will be dry and ready to use after a week.

Yu You took advantage of the time difference. When he went out to buy alkaline noodles in the morning, he entered the space and took out a piece of pork belly and put it in the backpack.

By the time I came back, it had been about four hours, and the pork belly that had been lost in the space had automatically replenished. So I was able to take out another one.

When she went to buy alkaline noodles, she saw tofu and bought two pieces at the same time.

This way, she and her mother could each get two pounds of pork belly and a piece of tofu.

There are nine people in the family, and two pounds of pork belly is obviously not enough, so Yu You asked Qin Zhiya to cut a bowl of potatoes.

Wang Yuerong made the fire, and Yu You cut the pork belly into pieces and fried it with sugar color, then added water and stewed it. When it was half cooked, he added potatoes and then cut in tofu cubes.

Then stick a circle of cornmeal cakes on the edge of the pot.

A big pot of pancakes is cooked by stewing them all together.

Qin Zhiya sniffed the aroma and secretly swallowed her saliva. Meat? I can't even eat it during Chinese New Year!

Yu Yousheng came out with a bowl and called out to Qin Zhidong, "Zhidong, take a bowl to Uncle Zhou and the others."

Qin Zhiya said enthusiastically: "Sister-in-law, can you give a bowl to Grandpa Zheng and the others as well? I'll deliver this bowl."

Deliver it quickly, dinner will be ready when you come back!

Yu You asked, "I've always wanted to ask you, what were the identities of Uncle Zhou and Grandpa Zheng's family members who were sent down?"

"Uncle Zhou turned out to be a senior engineer at the Public Works Center of the Kyoto Municipal Government."

Wow, a big shot! Yu You silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.

"Grandpa Zheng was the Minister of Justice in Kyoto before he was demoted."

Wow, another big guy!

"What about our home?" Yu You continued to ask.

"My dad used to be the Minister of Commerce, and my mom is a university professor."

"What about your brother?" Yu You asked the key question.

"My brother? My brother has been a legend among the kids in our compound since he was young!"

"He graduated from university at the age of seventeen, made numerous technological breakthroughs, and within three years became the youngest Secretary-General of the Ministry of Science and Technology!"

Yu You...the three families together are the three kings!

She decided that she would work hard to gain favor with these "towering trees" and strive to enjoy the shade under them in the future!

"Come, come, come, give us more. We are neighbors, like family!"

"Don't go and serve them. Just scoop out the pancakes and the dishes and eat first. I'll serve them, I'll serve them!"

"By the way, don't forget to leave some in the pot for your brother. If he's not back by this time, it's probably going to be night again."

After hearing a series of instructions from their sister-in-law, Qin Zhiya and Qin Zhidong carried two large bowls and went to deliver meat and vegetables to the Zhou and Zheng families.

"Zhidong, why do I feel that my sister-in-law is more gentle to me?"

"Second sister, stop talking and hurry up to fill your bowl and eat!" Nothing else matters when delicious food is in front of you!

The two of them immediately got busy.

Yu You had dealt with the Zhou family before, but this was his first time visiting the Zheng family.

The main reason is that the original owner is very arrogant in his daily life. He pretends not to see others when he meets them, let alone trying to understand them.

The Zheng family is relatively simple, including Grandpa Zheng Hong, Uncle Zheng Guangyuan and Aunt Zheng Tang Lan.

Perhaps because of their original occupations, the Zheng family members looked a little serious.

What’s strange is that I didn’t see the third generation of the Zheng family.

Yu You went back and asked Qin Zhiya and found out that Zheng Guangyuan's son Zheng Minglang had joined the army in his early years and was already a soldier, so the demotion did not affect him.

Yu You sighed at the man's good luck and stopped thinking about it. The big guys in front of him were the most important!

After the people in the cowshed had a meal of meat, their originally dull life suddenly became fresh and their energy and spirits seemed to have improved a lot.

A few days later.

The wheat in the field has sprouted, and it's time to water the winter wheat. The members of the cooperative are all going to work in the fields.

A few years ago, the team bought several hand-cranked water trucks, so people no longer have to carry water from the river one bucket at a time for watering, which saves a lot of effort.

To water the winter wheat, only a few strong laborers are needed to crank the waterwheel, letting the water flow into the fields along the ditches beside the ridges.

The rest of the people were given a few acres of land each. They would repair the broken dam and then divert the water to the next house after watering their own.

This job is not tiring, but it is laborious and you have to keep an eye on everything.

People walked around the fields, and if any ridges broke, they would rush over to block them.

Almost every family came out, and the children also came to join in the fun.

The land allocated to the Qin family and Yu Weimin's family was in the back and had not been watered yet, so the two families gathered together to chat.

Cao Xiu and Yu You explained, "After we finish watering the winter wheat, there won't be much work left in the fields. I plan to go to the city with your father in a couple of days."

The temperature during the day is still okay, but the temperature at night is getting lower and lower. The twenty greenhouse racks have been set up long ago.

It's time to buy some plastic sheeting and some nylon rope to wrap around the rack as part of the skeleton.

Yu You felt that his own private plot of land couldn't just sit there idle. As for the Zhou and Zheng families, this was also an opportunity to improve their favorability!

Discuss it with her dad.

"Dad, the families in our cowshed also have their own plots of land. It's not much, but each family can probably build two or three greenhouses. Can you bring us some plastic sheeting and nylon ropes?"
