Chapter 161: What's in the City Is Good
On the day of Shangliang, you have to eat a good meal, the flower rolls with white bread crusts, the meat in the dishes, and a few catties of loose wine, each person drinks two taels.
In addition, each person has a pack of cigarettes a day, usually a box of red light brand cigarettes in nine minutes, and a box of Dajin Zhong has to be used for two cents on the day of the beam.
Under the cover of his grandmother, Youyou put two large wooden boxes in the house, which contained all kinds of vegetables, two barrels of ten catties of soybean oil, and fifty catties of pork. There were also ten bags of flour, each fifty pounds, all of which were white flour. Anyway, it was dark when the truck was unloaded yesterday, and there were so many people who came that no one could remember what they had unloaded.
"Little Old Mother" is a good hand at cooking, the steamed buns are kneaded quickly and well, and the size of the meat slices is the same. She fried all the fifty catties of meat in a large pot, and a lot of oil was roasted out of the fatty meat, and the meat was soaked in oil and isolated from the air, so that it could be left for several days without spoiling.
Almost all the male laborers in the village came to help, and the Yoyo family built many houses, and everyone did it separately. The trumpets alone were divided into two shifts, the trumpets were loud and loud, and the two leaders asked and answered, and everyone shouted in harmony.
Listen to it, it's different from the trumpet shouted when the embankment was restored.

Every time the leader sings to the flower, everyone echoes with the sound of the trumpet, and the stone rammer flies up and down with the sound of the trumpet.
The carpenter took a few people to make doors and windows in the yard, and they were even more amazed when they could see the wood clearly during the day. Not only is the thickness of the board consistent, but the appearance is also polished, saving the effort of sawing and planing.
The Yoyo family was preparing to use new doors and windows with steel bars and glass, and Grandma handed them the drawings of the doors and windows. Seeing the glass and steel bars that match the doors and windows, everyone is amazed: everything in the city is matched, and it is much more convenient to do work.
The gates of the courtyard and the hall are made of large materials and labor, and Yoyo directly ordered the finished product in the mall, which is also made of pine wood, and the outside is painted with primary color paint. Everyone watched around, from the style of materials, paint to workmanship, carefully studied, everyone was full of praise, in short, that is good.
The final conclusion is that what is in town is good. It reminds you of a saying at the beginning of the 21st century: the moon in foreign countries is round.
The eldest uncle and the "Gao Gaosan" used a tractor to pull cooked soil on the edge of the pond pit in front of the village, and used it as a mud plaster to build a house. In order to be strong and moisture-proof, mix some lime paste with mud.
Lime paste is generally bought in advance to process quicklime by itself, and processed hydrated lime is also sold in the city, and then prepared when used. Because the Youyou family built a house in advance, it was too late, so my uncle and grandfather ordered it to buy it in the city.
What Yoyo took out from the mall was a prepared lime paste, the quality was absolutely good, and it was packed in a bag. Even the sand was in bags, and when we unloaded the truck last night, we unloaded the bags one by one, not knowing what was inside. Now that I see it, they all say that the people in the city even use bags of sand, but we don't have cloth bags for grain.
The bags of lime were plastic woven bags, and the two aunts washed them clean and prepared them for later grain.
Some people say, "If only it were a nylon bag, how many pants could be made?" Then everyone joked about urea bag pants, and a group of people laughed back and forth.
There is a legend that at the end of the sixties, a certain place was very poor and had no clothes to wear. The imported urea bag is thin nylon, and many people use it to sew it into pants to wear. A couple of newlyweds went into the cave room to rest at night after drinking the wedding wine. The groom saw four big words printed on the bride's shorts: "It is not advisable to hide it for a long time." "He was very happy. And when the bride saw the words on the groom's shorts, she fainted with fright. It turned out to read: "Net weight 25"!
There is also a legend: "Big cadres, small cadres, one person and one fertilizer pants, the front is Japan, the back is urea, and the nitrogen content is written in the crotch, and the percentage is faintly visible." "This is a popular nursery rhyme in the countryside in the early seventies, and children at that time would sing it.
It is said that in the countryside, many women with face, such as captains, accountants, and daughters-in-law of custodians, take home the Japanese urea bags used in the production team and make them into pants. Therefore, sometimes just to ask for a bag, I don't hesitate to sprinkle the urea of the white flowers.
The fertilizer bag imported from Japan is strong, wrapped in a transparent plastic bag inside, and woven with chemical fibers on the outside, which is exceptionally soft and delicate, much stronger than the black coarse cloth. Made into pants, it is wear-resistant and looks good. So the fertilizer came to the village, and the remaining fertilizer bags became a treasure, and the cadres secretly shared it.
Fertilizer bags are all white, with many and conspicuous trademark words on them, and they must be dyed brown or black to cover the text when used to make pants. There are also some people who use it to make pants without dyeing, and the front and back of the crotch have eye-catching words such as "net weight 50 kg" and "nitrogen content 45", which become a joke. But the indigo dye, washed more times, the color slowly faded, and the two big words "urea" on the buttocks and eggs will slowly appear, becoming the same as sung in the nursery rhyme. In those years, as long as the word urea was clearly seen on the buttocks, there was no need to ask, it must be a village cadre.
There are also a few paragraphs: In that era of scarcity of materials, our country did not have this kind of foreign goods, and if anyone had a fertilizer bag made of clothes, it could be regarded as a symbol of status, and it would show the scenery when you wore it. As a result, the majority of members who can't buy fertilizer bags can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, and make up jokes to sarcastically satirize cadres who have a bit of a way. 11
