Chapter 2 Lingquan Space is coming
Li Jiayi quickly ran into the house, took off his schoolbag and kettle, and then ran to the sink to wash his hands.
When I came back after washing my hands, my mother had already laid out the food. The food was very simple, and the staple food was steamed buns.
As for the dishes, there is a fried pepper, a fried eggplant, and a plate of pickles.
"Hey! Mom, what day is it today? Why is there still egg custard?" asked the second sister, pointing to a small bowl of egg custard on the table.
"You girl, today is your and your brother's tenth birthday." Mom Ye Xin said, hitting her second sister on the head with chopsticks.
"Ah! Today is my and Jiayi's birthday! I forgot about it." The second sister rubbed her head and said.
In fact, Li Jiayi is not his biological child, and he is not even from this era.
Yes, he came from the twenty-first century. Similarly, he had this name in his previous life.
Who dares to believe that he came into this world because of a pee.
In his previous life, Li Jiayi worked as a screwdriver in an electronics factory. He worked there until he was thirty-one years old, when he became a supervisor.
It was also at this time that he confessed his love to a girl, and she agreed to be his girlfriend. Because he was happy, he invited several colleagues out to drink.
This is what men are like. When I am not drinking, I belong to this world. After drinking, the world is mine.
A few people drank too much and peed directly against the green belt on the roadside, competing to see who could pee farther.
Li Jiayi was unlucky and fell directly onto the light pole on the green belt. He didn’t know whether the wires were not connected properly or there was a leakage.
Anyway, he came to this world as soon as his eyesight went dark and time-traveled into a baby.
This is not important. What is important is that he was abandoned and was picked up by Li Aimin and Ye Xin, who had just given birth and returned home from the health center.
It was 1948, but there was no one to help you find your biological parents. There was no other way, so the couple took Li Jiayi home.
It just so happened that Ye Xin had just given birth to twins, and Li Jiayi was actually one day younger than her second sister Li Jialin.
Tomorrow is really his birthday. As for how to name Li Jiayi, isn’t it just adding one?
"You two, hurry up and eat!" Mom Ye Xin pushed the egg custard in front of the two of them and said.
"Mom, since it's your birthday, it would be better to eat together." Li Jiayi said.
"No need, there are only two eggs in total, you two can eat it."
The eldest sister Li Jiaqi consciously picked up a steamed bun and started eating it with fried eggplant.
And Ye Xin picked up the only white-flour steamed bun and handed it to Li Jiayi.
It's said to be a white-flour steamed bun, but it's actually not white. There's nothing you can do about it, because it's made with eight-sided noodles that were unique to this era.
Bayiyi, as the name suggests, means that one hundred catties of wheat yields eighty-one catties of noodles. How does it compare with later generations who produced sixty-seven catties of noodles from one hundred catties.
But even so, it's not much, only 20% of the quota.
There were very few rations in this era. The food rations varied from person to person depending on their age. A baby was born with three pounds, a child was six pounds, and a child was eight pounds.
Twelve kilograms for those over twelve years old, fifteen kilograms for those over fourteen years old, eighteen kilograms for those over sixteen years old, and twenty-one kilograms for adults.
Of course, this is talking about ordinary residents without jobs.
It’s different when you have a job. For example, Li Aimin’s ration is forty-two kilograms, and Ye Xin’s ration is thirty-six kilograms.
However, no matter how much, flour supply accounts for 20% of the total supply, rice accounts for 10%, and the rest are coarse grains, such as cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes.
Sometimes miscellaneous grains are used, such as fresh white potatoes, sorghum noodles and stick noodles.
Li Jiayi reluctantly took the steamed bun, broke it in half and said, "Today is the second sister's birthday, so I will give half of this steamed bun to the second sister."
Hearing what he said, Ye Xin opened her mouth but did not say anything.
There is too little refined grain, just enough for one person, and of course this person is Li Jiayi, who is also the only one in the family who eats refined grain.
"Brother, you can eat it! I can just eat the steamed buns." Li Jialin said. "Take it! I'm not very hungry today, so I'll give you half." Li Jiayi said without any explanation, and stuffed half of the steamed bun into her hand.
Li Jialin looked at her mother and saw her nodding, then she smiled and said to him: "Thank you, brother."
"Hey, thank you, eat quickly!"
"Yeah!"
It got dark after dinner. My mother Ye Xin went to the kitchen to clean up, and my father Li Aimin was limping. I walked to the yard to fetch water.
No way, bathing is not that convenient in this era. For example, it is summer now, so I use a big wooden basin to dry the water in the yard.
It's just getting dark now, and the water is still hot, so I can take a bath if I take it inside and wipe myself.
"Dad, let me help you." Li Jiayi ran over and said.
"No, I can do it myself. Go get the towel!"
"Oh!"
At this time, the eldest sister and the second sister also went to carry another basin The water is gone.
After wiping his body and changing into clothes, Li Jiayi went back to his room to sleep.
Yes, he did not live in the main house, but lived alone in a wing room. There were two wing rooms in the east courtyard.
The one in the north is the kitchen, and the one in the south was originally a utility room, but now there is no utility room! I packed it up and used it as his bedroom.
Because he is already ten years old, it is not convenient for him to sleep with his parents or live with his two sisters.
But he did not fall asleep. It had been ten years since he came to this era and he didn't even have a golden finger, which made him very depressed.
The reason why I couldn't sleep was not only because of this, but also because it was too hot. Not to mention air conditioning, there was not even an electric fan.
In fact, even if there is an electric fan, it is useless, because there is no electricity at all, and there is no electricity nearby.
At this time, electricity was only supplied to government departments and institutions, and few households had electricity.
It was past twelve o'clock after tossing and turning, and his hand was sore from shaking the fan.
"Alas! Without a golden finger, it would be nice to have a space!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jia's eyes lit up and he entered a space.
"Damn, it's really here."
Ten years! A full ten years after he came to this era, space finally appeared.
In an instant, spatial information appeared in his mind, as if he could control everything in this space.
Lingquan Space.
A small courtyard is located in the center of the space, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the right.
There are three main rooms, the middle one is the living room, the left one is unlimited storage space, and time stands still.
On the right is the bedroom.
There are two partial rooms, one is an automatic processing room and the other is a manual processing room.
The automatic processing room can only do simple processing, such as processing wheat into flour.
The other manual processing room requires you to operate it yourself, such as making flour into steamed buns and cooking raw meat. In fact, it is a very large kitchen.
It can be said that in this small courtyard, except for the storage space, other places have the same time as the outside world.
