MTL - Attack Stream of Life-Chapter 15
Qingchuan, who was reshaped with three views, woke up from a dream. He did nothing else all night except massage the big head fish. Once there is a mistake in the technique, the half-human big head fish will mercilessly give him a tail, which is simply sour.
For the first time, I thought fish was such a hateful creature.
Qingchuan got up and boiled rice porridge and boiled an egg. There was an old pumpkin in the kitchen. He cut a circle and steamed it. It was the lunchtime dish. The rice was multigrain rice mixed with brown rice and sweet potatoes. He observed yesterday that most people's lunch boxes have no meat dishes and few eggs. Qingchuan felt that being a rural person should be low-key, there is no need to eat too well for lunch, and he can make up for it with breakfast and dinner.
After dinner, it was still early, Qing Chuan played a set of old lady health boxing in the yard.
Although the system does not think that this set of special recipes from the martial arts world is useful here, Qingchuan does not give up, and it does not stop it. In case it is useful, it is always good to have a little more strength, and nothing else is required, just let this terrible heart disease patient live longer.
Greeted.
However, the shack where the reformers live below is a must-see every day. Qingchuan sometimes sees the former big landlord and the wife of the landlord, as well as their little grandson, the little doll looks like Smart and cute, Qingchuan likes him very much. But neither side would say hello and avoid suspicion.
He went to the slaughterhouse. Today's work is no different from yesterday's, and the kitchen dishes are no different from yesterday. Qingchuan still received a bag of duck down, bought milk with Tang Yu after get off work, and returned the cleaned jar.
One point is three pounds of meat, Qingchuan chops it up, and boils it with diced bamboo shoots and diced mushrooms to make a salty and delicious mushroom meat sauce, which is divided into five glass jars. The jar is scalded with boiling water, filled with sauce and sealed, and it is not a problem to keep it for a month or two in such weather.
Five jars of meat sauce, one spoon a day, can last for two months. The six hens in the front yard provide an average of three or four eggs per day, and two vegetable gardens provide vegetables. Fish and shrimp can also be caught in the fish pond to supplement protein, so that there is no need to purchase additional ingredients from the system every day.
Qingchuan, who has six-digit remaining points, finally learned to be thrifty under the strict limit system, which is really gratifying.
The days of work always pass without knowing it, and soon it will be December, and Qingchuan has been working for two months. He had written down the musculoskeletal position of the fish's body, and the teacher in the virtual classroom finally stopped asking him to massage the big fish. The second lesson was to cut the fish, and he could start taking revenge.
of light.
What did the face do wrong, to be in close contact with the fish tail over and over again?
Qingchuan is already thinking about what to do when it comes to unraveling the cow in the future, how can it be good with a hoof kick? Afraid not to waste?
In the first month, the system provided a rabbit for him to dissect, and then he got a piece of tattered rabbit skin and a meal of braised rabbit meat. In the second month, the system provided a black fish. I want to make fish fillet with pickled cabbage... Well, I made fish fillet with pickled cabbage later, and the taste is still ok. As for the meat, how can it not be delicious?
He has to give the old lady a monthly payment every month. Although the old lady lives with her eldest brother, it does not mean that Qingchuan does not need pension. According to the agreement, he will give the old lady five yuan per month , can also be replaced with 30 catties of grain, regardless of thickness. Qingchuan used to give the old lady five yuan a month, as well as some pork livers, pig trotters, pig tails and other meats, which were all bought cheaply from the slaughterhouse, and the weight was only about half a catty.
The old lady was reluctant to eat it herself, and most of them would end up in the mouth of her eldest brother.
Eating meat once a month is already a very good treatment. Every time you see Qingchuan delivering meat, they say he is filial. For Qingchuan, just a little meat for a month can stop the mouth of the old lady and the eldest brother's family, which is really an affordable business. He was actually quite impatient with the so-called shortness of parents, no matter if they were well-meaning or malicious. This is a common problem among young people living in the city in modern times.
After entering December, the slaughterhouse was obviously busy, and even the master could not stop Qingchuan's sight. They started to work overtime, the lights above their heads were on, and they didn't leave until eight or nine o'clock.
Every day the large cafeteria provides a supper, which is basically meat dishes, including soybean roasted pig feet, braised fat intestines, cold pig ears, stewed chestnuts with cheese bones, roasted pig head meat... The portion is full .
Qingchuan brought steamed multi-grain cakes from home, and they couldn't finish eating the fragrant dishes, so they could save it for lunch tomorrow. Qingchuan was forced by the barren living environment to not be picky, as long as it was meat, he could eat any flavor. Unless he encounters Yang Dandan, who really can't overcome the obstacles, that's fine. He will give it to his eldest brother. Well, let's nourish the kidneys for a comrade who has a daughter-in-law.
The village is also lively. The largest fish pond has to be released to catch fish, and every household can get a weight of twenty or thirty pounds. Of course, when it comes to eating a big pot of rice, only Qingchuan and a few others who don't get work points can get some of this fish, and the rest are still handled in the big dining hall.
The three hills near the village are collective, with orange forests, chestnut forests, and other miscellaneous fruit trees. There is also the collective bamboo forest on the mountain. There are also a group of laborers looking for winter bamboo shoots. After selling them to the supply and marketing cooperatives, they still have some leftovers, so they keep them for themselves.
Qingchuan has no time to go, at this time the elder brother will send his share on his behalf. The so-called harmony of brothers is reflected here.
After the countdown to the Spring Festival, the slaughterhouse was finally not so busy. Everyone had nothing to do for a while, but they had to come to work, so everyone found a bench to chat. Everyone had melon seeds and fried beans in their pockets, and while they were eating, they said that Qingchuan was afraid of getting angry, so he burned a little flower tea every day and everyone shared it. It is the wild chrysanthemum and honeysuckle on the back mountain, and the villagers will pick some and dry them to make tea.
The county has already started 'no closing for the Chinese New Year, no holiday for the Spring Festival', but the slaughterhouse will still be open for three days, New Year's Eve, the first and second days of the new year. On New Year's Eve, the last day of work this year, the slaughterhouse gave benefits to every employee. Each regular employee has six cans of canned yellow peaches and ten pounds of meat. There are slightly fewer temporary workers, and there are also three cans of canned food and five pounds of meat. In addition, there are several kinds of tickets. Everyone has cloth tickets and food tickets. Other tickets depend on luck and what is drawn. Qingchuan was lucky, he drew an industrial ticket.
The eldest sister who gives welfare rubs Qingchuan's scented tea every day, and specially reserved a plump pork belly for him. Sunbathing is delicious, and braised pork is also delicious.
Meat.
Theoretically, the pork should also be handed over to the large canteen, but many people are reluctant, especially those with a lot of pork, and they talk about the problem of drying the meat as a gift, and finally the pork is distributed to each household. . So Qingchuan gave the big brother a can of canned yellow peaches. This is also a rarity in the countryside, and no one thinks a can is too stingy, they want to buy it, but they can't buy it.
This year's grain output is slightly lower than last year, and more public grain is handed in, so the remaining grain is less, but everyone seems to be immersed in the country's dream of providing food and clothing, no one Don't take it seriously. The newspapers didn't say that there was a disaster over there, but there was still news spreading here, saying that there was a drought this year, and grain production was reduced.
This is all said in private. On the bright side, there are thousands of kilograms per mu, and everyone is full of joy and expectation. If Qingchuan wants to explain the famine next year, he will probably be beaten into meat sauce by the Red Legion. So he didn't say anything. It is close to the mountains and the sea. There are wild kudzu and yam on the mountains, and small seafood on the beach. If some high-yield crops are grown in the fields, if the public grain is not harvested, most people can survive, but it is inevitable that they will not live well.
But he was worried about the old lady's side. The old lady lives with her eldest brother again, and it is impossible for her to remain indifferent to the disaster at her eldest brother's house. Also, he has a sister. The elder sister is always a special creature. Qingchuan grew up under the protection of her elder sister. This is the softest part of my heart. As long as it is an elder sister, even if it is an unfamiliar elder sister from someone else's family, it is always a little different.
He put some food in his store, there are more than 200 catties of sweet potatoes, a sack of dry corn kernels, and nothing else. The local harvest is twice a year. It is not easy for Qingchuan to survive until the summer harvest, not to mention subsidizing others. He had to look at the system.
There is a big promotion for the New Year in the system, sweet potatoes are also cheap, and there are prepared dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato powder and the like. The price of the prepared sweet potato flour and the good Wuchang rice is the same, and the manual fee is particularly expensive. Qingchuan was impatient to make it himself, and it was too late, but it was not cost-effective to buy it directly. If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, he would have bought all the rice and noodles. It was a good deal and could be stored for a long time.
Fortunately, dried sweet potatoes are not so expensive. He specially found a defective product. The description above said that this batch of dried sweet potatoes is not sweet enough, has more fiber, and has a harder taste, so one point can be used for Buy 120 catties of dried sweet potatoes, 13 points can be rounded, almost 1,600 catties. This is not a small number, as emergency food is enough.
There are two cellars in Qingchuan's house, one is the cellar on the bright side, which opens into the courtyard, and the other is the hidden cellar, which opens in the kitchen. He went to the cellar of the kitchen and bought more than 1,000 catties of dried sweet potatoes, which were folded in sacks. All corners of the cellar were dusted with worm-repelling powder. He also bought several bags of unhulled millet, which survived.
After all, in this case, if it is not good, you have to use high-priced goods.
Of course, he is not the one who wronged himself. Taking advantage of the discount, he bought 200 catties of good rice, some thick navy blue and army green fabrics, which are wear-resistant for coats, and some white poplins. To make shirts, some soft fine cotton materials can be used to make underwear. Two kilograms of gray wool and one kilogram of navy blue can make two replacement wool vests. There are all kinds of candy, wine and nutritional products. And daily medicines that may not be used on weekdays, but are definitely useful.
Qingchuan has a slight heart palpitation problem. He spends 30 points every month to buy pills, which is discounted during the New Year.
"Hey, I don't think I bought a lot of things? Why are they gone?" Qingchuan clasped his fingers and counted them one by one. many.
In ancient times, he could have the luxury of using charcoal in winter and ice in summer, but in modern times he can't afford anything.
The villagers gave the villagers food and fish dishes according to their hair, so that they could cook New Year's Eve at home. But without an iron pot, every household can only cook some stewed vegetables and steamed vegetables. Qingchuan didn't have too much luxury at this time. He made braised fish, hand-caught chicken, two plates of vegetarian dishes and a plate of kumquats, even if it was very rich.
There are two rattan food bowls on the table in the main room, with dried peanuts, red dates, pumpkin seeds, dried persimmons and cheap loose sugar from the supply and marketing cooperatives. of. Even the most difficult families have to prepare something for those children. We believe that children on the first day of the new year can bring joy and happiness. Especially newly married families without children are looking forward to these children coming over to please.
Because the family has been separated, so I have to spend New Year's Eve by myself, but the next day I need to go to my elders to pay New Year's Eve.
According to the rules, as long as the old lady is still alive, they will go to New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. He was ready, a five-foot roll of dark gray cotton, enough for an adult's clothing, and more for a child. And a can of wheat milk powder, in a glass bottle, because the previous container didn't quite fit. There is also a box of crispy cookies, wrapped in greased paper and packed in a tin box.
"Why did you buy so many things?" The old lady was really pleasantly surprised. Although she said disgusting words, her emotions couldn't lie. "After a while, mother asked your aunt to find a good one for you. You have a job, you have a salary, you are a worker, what kind of girl can't you find? Even the girls in the county town are worthy."
Qingchuan has no interest in marriage at all, "I won't talk about it if I'm a new year old. I just want to be alone now."
Seeing that the old lady was very resistant to him, she thought that Qingchuan was only eighteen. He stopped mentioning this matter, and turned the topic to another place, "Your eldest sister will come over tomorrow, and the two children in front of her will also come. We still have to do a good job in face, you prepare two New Year's bags."
"I know." Qing Chuan nodded.
Qingchuan went out of the old lady's house and saw the elder sister-in-law playing in the yard with the child, "sister-in-law, elder sister." Most of the red envelopes are this number. In addition, there is a pack of rice flour cakes made of finely ground japonica rice. One piece is soaked in hot water, which is a bowl of rice batter. It is specially bought for children. It is based on three meals a day for one month.
"What is this?" Sister-in-law put the child in the bamboo basket on the side, and hurriedly took the big paper bag, "Eh? Rice noodles?"
My sister-in-law was very surprised. The elder sister is one year old and needs some soft food. This white rice noodle is polished with the best part of the rice. It is very expensive in the supply and marketing agency. Sister-in-law I was reluctant to buy it, and I was fooled by a little soup on the side of the big canteen pot on weekdays. Now Qingchuan sends so much, save some, and eat one piece a day for a long time.
"You have a heart. Come, eldest sister, thank you uncle."
The eldest sister was standing in the bamboo basket, biting her fingers and watching dumbly, not understanding what her mother was excited about.
Qing Chuan returned home, opened the yard door, and waited for the child to come. However, this place is really remote. There are many children in Mingming Village, but not many children came in the end. Qingchuan stuffed each of them with a pocket of candy, and also took out condensed milk and gave each child a cup of sweet milk. Children like such a generous host, and they chatted and stayed at Qingchuan's house for a long time.
These three days are rare rest days. Qingchuan doesn't want to do anything. After sending the child away, he lay lazily on the bed.
The quilt has been replaced with a thick eiderdown. After the duck down was cleaned and deodorized, it was sewn into two layers of chemical fiber fabric to make a quilt. After being flattened, it was sewn into small lattices, and a patched cotton coat was put on. It felt soft and light, but it was very warm on the body. There is also extra to make a button vest.
The cotton quilt will not be warm after sleeping for a long time, but as long as the duck down quilt is taken out and patted, it will be the same as before.
In fact, he even wanted to change the padded jacket. This is an old padded jacket that has been worn for three or four years. Wear it in one winter, and then continue to wear it next year after drying it. Let alone the smell, it is still hard. Yes, not warm at all. But suddenly changing the padded jacket at this moment is too eye-catching, and the cotton ticket is not good. Everyone only changes one in five or six years, so he just added a vest inside it, and it can be slightly better.
"Here's some good news that may make you happy," said the system.
"What?" Qing Chuan was still lying on the bed lazily, he didn't expect any good news.
But this time it's good news.
"Because of the requirements of many taskers, the original body is now open to travel. From the next world, taskers can use their own bodies. It is no longer someone else's identity, and the master brain will set a new The identity card is inserted into the plot, and the corpse is used as the body. The corpse is the body equipped after extracting the original genes of the tasker. It will be adjusted in shape and function according to the different task worlds, and it has the most outstanding physique and perception. Well... you can be It is a piece of clothing. The exchange price is 100 diamonds, and it can only be used in one world. Among them, 10 diamonds are the production cost of the corpse, and 90 diamonds are the service fee. From now on, you can buy diamonds. I am very optimistic about you. ~”
I don't want to be a vulnerable heart patient, but Qing Chuan, who said it was too late, just rolled his eyes. One hundred diamonds for a one-time body, super expensive, can't afford it.
"Well, this month you have drawn a fat sheep to practice your skills, which may be good news?"
Qingchuan sat up on the bed in a second, "Lamb?"
