Chapter 1649 So poor that he only had two eggs
Zhou Zhi remembered that this boy was an official fan. During the endless lonely nights, the two of them would sit by the fire, roasting potatoes, dipping them in salty chili noodles, and talking about life. Planning, discussing career promotion channels, of course, Zhou Zhi had to return to his own company in the end, and he was still very decadent at the time, so Wu Renzhong was mainly the one pouring out his depression, while Zhou Zhi was responsible for roasting potatoes and quietly listening.
When they broke up later, Wu Renzhong hugged Zhou Zhi and cried once, saying that he was extremely grateful to him. If it hadn't been for those patient nights of listening and baking potatoes, he might not have been able to persevere.
After this pass, this guy was transferred from the Light Industry Bureau to the office, and soon went to the prefecture. His official career was clear in no time. Every time he went to the capital on a business trip, he would find Zhou Zhi to drink. I stayed up late complaining like I did many years ago, but this time I complained about countless things, including my incompetent subordinates and picky bosses.
Of course, there is also a long career that is far from the ceiling.
Zhou Zhi could not remember the first time the two met. When he came back to the next life, he couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard Wang Renzhong introduce himself like this. The old-fashioned saying is that you are an accountant. You said that you are an assistant and accountant. You are a fan of officials. His character can actually be seen from now on.
“Let’s go, follow me to the car to get something.” Zhou Zhi was also polite: “With your name, I won’t be able to work in any profession in the future.”
“Which profession?” Wu Renzhong asked.
"The lottery shop cannot be opened. The boss's name is no one! Who dares to buy it?"
"Hahahaha..." Wu Renzhong suddenly became happy: "Things that violate disciplines If we don’t do it, we’ve been told repeatedly that people of our status can’t do business anymore.”
A Qinggouzi baby who just joined the light industry bureau of a poor county, and now has an identity. Zhou Zhi was reborn and understood many things. Only then did he realize that Wu Renzhong had a lot of problems at this period.
Of course he would not be stupid enough to say it. He took Wu Renzhong to the outside of the grain station and opened the trunk to get something.
Knowing that the conditions here are difficult, Zhou Zhi brought a lot of things, even the trailer, various other seasonings, and dozens of kilograms of lard, butter, and vegetable oil.
This is a hard lesson. The nutrients that the human body needs in this place, the carbohydrates can be satisfied by potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins. For protein, you can use tofu and tofu curd to make dried tofu, but you really have nowhere to find fat. Everyone is frugal, and don't expect anything from meat. To buy meat, you have to drive six hours to the county.
You can usually buy chickens and sheep locally. Chickens can be eaten once a month, and sheep can only be eaten in two or three months.
Zhou Zhi was a cadre sent under the counterpart support of the central enterprise, and he was the most generous among all the people in the township. However, he could not abandon the small children in the township and eat alone behind closed doors, so every time he opened meat, he would open more than a dozen mouths at once, and he would eat meat alone. They are all tuberculosis ghosts, the kind who can't get enough meat no matter how much they eat.
So this time we directly learn from the lessons of the past. As long as there is enough oil, dried tofu can also taste like meat!
"Brother, are you... planning to settle down?" Wu Renzhong looked at the things Zhou Zhi pulled out of the car and was dumbfounded: "What kind of car is this? Why is there a camel painted on it?"
"This is called Land Rover Defender. It's a good car for running on mountain roads."
"Is it provided by your school?" Wu Renzhong looked envious.
Zhou Zhi thought about how to explain it so as not to be abrupt: "My current project is sponsored by an academic institution, and this car is provided by that sponsoring institution. The school is very stingy, so it will not provide a car."
"Is the academic salary so good now?" Wu Renzhong said doubtfully: "You guys are really in a good time."
The two were talking and laughing. When the things came in, Tu Liangzhi was startled when he saw them: "Xiao Zhou, why did you bring so many things?"
"Anyway, I have a car, so it's easy to bring." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "There are a few bags of braised pork and Cured meat, and two bottles of wine. ""I'm not very good at drinking," Tu Liangzhi said, "But I have someone to accompany you, so why did you bring so much oil?"
"For cooking, the babies have to grow and the oil and water have to keep up." Zhou Zhi said.
"How do you know we have dolls here?"
"Which town doesn't have dolls?" Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then naturally explained the reason why he made up the dolls.
"Hey, that's true!" Tu Liangzhi reacted: "But many rural children don't care about lunch. The children eat it in the morning but not at noon, or they eat one or two cooked potatoes in the afternoon. Let’s go home and have dinner.”
“We’ve got a meal here.”
"Then I'll fry some cabbage for you and crisp some beans." The hostess was very happy. The eggs she left for her daughter could be considered safe.
“Women’s families lack knowledge!” Tu Liangzhi said, but after looking at what Zhou Zhi brought, he felt that there was really nothing he could do with two more eggs, so he might as well just accept Zhou Zhi’s personal favor: “Let’s go Let's go and sit by the fire pit. Let’s drink first!”
This place is located in a relatively large valley with a small slope. There is a cross-flowing stream and a road leading to the outside. There are about dozens of families on the slope, all living in the lowlands. In a short dilapidated house.
There is some cultivated land around, but it is still a real slash-and-burn farming. In the spring, the grass on the hillside is burned, and then pumpkins, corns and potatoes are planted. After that, it depends on God's will.
One area is located between two large mountains. There is a large area of rare pine forest in the valley, which has some output. In addition, there is a large area of mountainous land between the pine forest and the cultivated land, where sheep can be grazed.
A kind of goat is produced here that is all black. The meat is tender and nutritious. Compared with the sheep in the north, it still has a bit of odor, but it is much lighter than other varieties. It is considered a very good specialty.
The potatoes here are also very distinctive. The locals call them "flower potatoes" or "purple potatoes". When you cut them open, there are some purple patterns like marble patterns inside. They taste like chestnuts. Although they are not big, But it was the most delicious potato Zhou Zhi had ever eaten.
Back then, he and Wu Renzhong survived long and lonely nights relying on the delicious potato wine and corn wine.
The main house of Tu Liangzhi's family is still the same as the main house of the Yi people. There is a fire pit in the middle of the house, and there are doors on both sides leading to side rooms. In the past, there was no furniture in such a house, and it was usually in the fire pit. People sit on the ground on straw mats or futons, surrounded by low scaffoldings where production and daily supplies are placed.
Now there are many "new things" in this home. For example, there is a circle of low stools around the firepit, an Eight Immortals table and four benches on the other side, and a Han farmer's table in the corner. That kind of stove, there is a water tank and cupboards behind the stove.
There are also a few large vats that should contain grain, and a pile of potatoes is piled in the cooler place at the bottom of the vat.
The top of the stove is empty, unlike in the Jiachuan countryside now, where there are absolutely large and small sausages and bacon hanging on the stove.
Both the Han and Yi people of this generation like to cook "jar meat" and generally do not hang meat on the stove, but it will be many years later in Lianhe Township.
Nowadays, Tu Liangzhi's family is a relatively well-off family in this area. They have enough potatoes, but they probably don't have a jar of oily meat. Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked my mother-in-law to scramble eggs, and she would not be happy.
“I’m stuck with Xiao Zhou’s light today, I’m really embarrassed to say it.” Tu Liangzhi said: “But I have to drink this wine no matter what, and our Baogu wine is still very good. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhi and Wu Renzhong couldn't help but look at each other.
