332 Generals (43)
After buying a TV set, the two went to the grain and oil station and the non-staple food station to buy a bag of rice, half a pocket of millet, plus soy sauce and vinegar, sesame oil, chili pepper, Sichuan pepper, star anise, longan, red dates and other things.
The family has had a good year this year, and the things are abundant, but it is relative, because the things are delicious, and a few small ones have eaten more.
No, in less than a month, the rice and noodles sent by Xiaoding and the three of them a year ago have almost been eaten.
If you only eat rice and noodles, you can't eat them so quickly, but don't you still have to make rice noodles, make pots, fry sesame leaves, and fry twist seeds?
There are also soy sauce and vinegar condiments, pepper star anise bay leaves, these big spices, consume very fast, now there is no stock at home, if the stewed meat is not saved, without these spices to enhance the taste, the stewed meat is not delicious.
Therefore, taking precautions, Ning Xiguang bought everything he could use.
In the end, the rice noodles included these miscellaneous items, which happened to fill a back basket and hung on the side of the back seat of the bicycle, while Ning Xiguang sat on the back seat of the bicycle holding a box containing a color TV.
Today's color TVs are not those of later generations, LCD, thin screens, and the current TVs are all stone-hearted, a boxy box, with dozens of pounds, and it is heavy to move.
If it's an ordinary woman, let alone holding a box and a color TV, I'm afraid it's difficult to hold a color TV alone. It's not just a matter of weight, it's a big size, and it's not easy to hold.
But Ning Xiguang is not, she has a lot of strength, and she is not difficult at all to hold a fifteen-inch color TV as if she is playing.
And Fu Siyan, carrying so many things, is also fast on a bicycle.
Both of them were fine, Ning Xiguang suddenly worried about the bicycle, not knowing if this bicycle in the mortal world could bear the weight of the items in the backpack and the color TV that the two of them were carrying.
After thinking about it, I soon got home.
At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and every house in the village was smoking.
And because it was cloudy today, the weather was gray, and the cold wind was howling, they didn't meet anyone at all along the way.
The two arrived home smoothly, Fu Siyan went to install the TV, and Ning Xiguang went to the kitchen to cook.
There is still a lot of mutton and mutton soup at home, so Ning Xiguang decided to eat mutton steamed buns today.
This is easy to make, the mutton and mutton soup are ready-made, and you only need to make cakes.
Of course, in case a few little guys don't like to eat like this, Ning Xiguang also quickly made a few braised noodles out, and whoever wants to eat steamed buns will eat steamed buns, otherwise they will eat mutton stewed noodles.
No matter how you eat it, you can't go wrong with eating mutton in winter, it's nutritious, it's full, and it's warm.
Ning Xi's hands and feet were nimble, and when everything was ready, it was time for several children to leave school.
However, it will take more than ten minutes to get home, and I don't panic to put the stewed noodles or steamed buns into the pot.
Ning Xiguang walked out of the kitchen and went to Mingguang and Xiaoyi's bedroom.
After the discussion between Ning Xiguang and Fu Siyan, the color TV was finally installed in Mingguang and Xiaoyi's bedroom.
In fact, it stands to reason that it should be placed in the living room of the suite where the two of them live, but both of them have a strong sense of territory and don't like outsiders to enter the place where the two live and move. And after the news of the color TV at home spreads, the seven aunts and eight aunts in the village will inevitably come to watch TV, so will they let them play in their living room when the time comes?
Think about that scene, when the house is constantly crowded from morning to night, it is really devastating.
It's not good to put it in their house, and it can't be placed in a moonlit room.
After all, she is a girl's family, and the people in the village do not shy away from this concept, if a group of big men all enter the moonlight room to watch TV, thinking about that scene Ning Xiguang feels unbearable.
So, thinking about it, the TV still has to be installed in the little brother's room.
A few minutes is enough time for the marshal. When Ning Xiguang walked over, he saw that he was twisting the button on the TV back and forth to search for the TV station.
At this time, there were really not many TV stations, and only one was found when I searched around. And what was broadcast on TV was really a TV series that swept the entire sixties and seventies, called "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic".
This is an American film, and it is said that when it was broadcast in the city, it almost reached the effect of thousands of empty alleys.
It was also this TV series that made the backward Chinese people realize that foreigners and us looked different. They have blue eyes, blond hair, and look weird.
They also saw the sea, and it turned out that the sea was like this, and it turned out that there were so many crises hidden under the sea.
Ning Xiguang has really seen this TV, and from the perspective of this era, the shooting is really good.
Now the plot is playing just as the US Secretary of Defense decides to use Mike's special function to explore the undersea, and Mike refuses to obey, and Ning Xi sees it in a daze.
Fu Siyan suddenly spoke at this time, "Xiguang, eat first." ”
"Oh. Eat and eat. …… But a few of the little ones haven't come back yet. She reacted suddenly.
"I'm back, I'm at the entrance of the village. ”
Ning's house is in the east end of the village, and a few small ones come from the west end of the village after school, and it takes less than two minutes to run from the west to the east end.
A few children can get home with a few words, and it's really time to cook.
The two walked out hand in hand, and Ning Xiguang asked the marshal on the side, "Eat mutton steamed buns or stewed noodles?"
"Let's make steamed buns. ”
"Okay. Ning Xiguang said, "Actually, I think it's best to eat mutton with baked cakes, but unfortunately at this time, no one makes baked cakes at all, and there is no oven, even if I want to bake it myself, I can't do it, so I can only change the way to eat." ”
Fu Siyan said, "I'll build you an oven in the afternoon." ”
"Hey, really? You still know how to make a barbecue, and when did you learn the skill, I don't know?"
The chatter, and the three little ones entered the door.
The younger one is worried about eating, but the two big ones are worried about the TV.
They originally thought that the eldest sister and brother-in-law would not come back so soon, and they were ready to go home to watch TV in the afternoon, but who expected that the eldest sister and brother-in-law would come back one step ahead of them.
Yueguang ran over and grabbed Ning Xiguang's wrist, "Sister, did you get the TV?"
"When I came, I put it in the house where Mingguang and Xiaoqi lived. Stop, stop, Mingguang, you come back, you sit down in the moonlight, you can watch TV if you want, and then go after dinner. ”
The two responded sheepishly, but they were not polite during the meal. Ning Xiguang thought that he was in a bad mood, he should have no appetite, so he would eat less, who knew that he would eat half a cake more than usual.
This meal is really big enough, and it is almost catching up with the average adult man. If this is a different family, who will raise it?
Besides, it's okay for a boy to eat so much, moonlight, you are a little girl, don't compare who has a lot of food with your brother?
If you eat it every day, you will become a Yang Guifei sooner or later.
Although such a daughter-in-law is festive and rich and has a good birth, the future mother-in-law will definitely like it, but many beautiful clothes can't be worn.
So, moonlight you wake up!!
……
Moonlight had already gone to watch TV with Mingguang.
Xiao Qi didn't have the concept of TV in his heart, but seeing his brothers and sisters running away like joy, he couldn't sit still, and drank the mutton soup in the bowl in a few sips, and followed him.
After Ning Xiguang cleaned up, he and Fu Siyan entered Mingguang's room, and saw the three young brothers sitting on the bed watching TV in a row.
Xiao Qi was the least interested in TV before, but now the little guy is excited, and his whole person is almost posted on TV. ADHD also seems to be touching and poking at the TV, as if testing whether the people inside are real or fake, and whether they will suddenly jump out of the TV.
Ning Xiguang said, "Don't poke it, the screen will let you poke the flowers in a while." And a few of you should sit back, away from the TV, otherwise your eyes will be short-sighted, and you will have to wear glasses when the time comes, which will not look good. ”
Mingguang said, "Is it like the kind of glasses that Wei Zhiqing wore on his face?"
"yes. ”
"That's not bad either. Yueguang said, "After Wei Zhiqing put on his glasses, he looked at Sven and delicate, which was easy for people to get close to. ”
Mingguang also nodded, "I think that kind of image looks like an intellectual and a cultural person." ”
Xiguang: "......"
"But it costs money to buy glasses, so forget it. Mingguang said and pulled Xiaoqi and Yueguang, "Sit back, save myopia and have to spend the family's money on glasses." ”
Xiguang: "......"
Next, Ning Xiguang discussed with the three little ones again, the time to watch TV every day, and how to keep it secret.
The three little ones heard the eldest sister say that their TV was the first in the village, and if anyone knew that they had a TV, the big guys would come over day and night to watch it, and they suddenly felt bitter.
This time, the three of them thought together: If there were many people in the house, would the eldest sister still make food for them? Even if they made delicious food and had no share with others, would they still have enough to eat? In addition, watching TV day and night would delay their homework and sleep, and they would waste a lot of electricity bills. Electricity is money, and this is absolutely not allowed!!
So the three little ones solemnly promised that they would not say anything about TV to anyone. Even the best friends, they won't take the initiative to mention it.
Xiguang was satisfied with this posture as soon as he saw it.
It's good that these three have such a sense of secrecy, but no one can say how long they can keep it secret in the end, it depends on the will of God.
After saying this, "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic" was also played. Snowflakes floated on the TV, and then another station was played, but there was no more.
Mingguang turned off the TV in a daze, and Xiguang said, "It's time for you to go to school, so let's go, otherwise you'll be late." ”
He also said, "The eldest sister and your brother-in-law will go to the army tonight, and it is estimated that they will come back as early as the afternoon after tomorrow, can you three be at home in the past two or three days?"
"Okay, it's okay, eldest sister, you and your brother-in-law are busy, I'll watch the two of them." Moonlight said.
Mingguang also said, "Eldest sister, don't worry about us. My second sister and I are both older, and we can all set up a household. Sister, you go and get busy, anyway, there is food and drink at home, and there is TV, we are not hungry or thirsty, and we will not be afraid, it's okay. ”
Ning Xiguang was satisfied.
After the three little ones left, she and Fu Siyan first built a mud stove.
The oven is built right in the kitchen.
The kitchen area is very large, twenty or thirty square meters. However, the things put are simple, except for the three stoves that are built, that is, a row of cabinets, there is nothing else.
In the past, a few small ones were used to stacking a pile of firewood in the corner, so that they didn't have to run back and forth to the next door to hug it, but now that the oven was about to be built, Ning Xiguang looked at it, but found that only the corner of the firewood was the most suitable.
So the two of them made two more trips, sent the pile of firewood back to the thatched hut next door, cleaned up the wall, and then began to get busy.
All the remaining dozens of bricks from the new house were moved, and the lime clay mixed alive - in fact, it is best to use red clay for the oven, because the red clay is sticky, and the finished oven can be used for a long time. However, Liushutun does not have laterite, so it can only be replaced by local alkaline soil.
The oven is big, because Ning Xiguang thought of roast pig, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose and many other delicacies, and he only wanted to bake baked cakes.
Since you are still thinking about roasting pigs, this oven must be big enough.
Fortunately, there are many bricks, and she just wants a bigger oven, and the marshal can satisfy her.
The oven was built more than a meter high, and a small doorway with a turn high was left in the direction of the door, from which charcoal could be stuffed.
And more than half a meter high place put a few thick iron rods horizontally, if you roast chickens, ducks and geese, etc., things can be placed directly on the iron rods.
If you want to bake the pancakes, you can stick them on the inner wall of the bricks that are half a meter high.
When the mud is dry, you can paste the dough directly on the top, and then cover the big lid on the top, and when the dough turns golden brown, you can pry it off with an iron rod.
This is the traditional way of making yakiniku cakes.
And if you don't like this kind of baked cake is not delicious, you can also add filling to the dough, which will be more delicious when baked.
It's not good to build an oven like this, and it has to leave a small opening for ventilation.
Then the marshal found another pipe, and made a small hole in the wall, and then connected the oven and the hole with the pipe.
That's when it's really done.
It was still early the day after the oven was ready, so they simply got firewood and burned the oven first.
The oven should be dried before it can be used. It is definitely not possible to burn it once, and it must be burned five or six times intermittently before it can be put into use.
But this is not in a hurry, it is not too late to burn slowly when there is time, they are still preparing to go to the army in the afternoon, it is almost four o'clock now, it is time to pack up and set off.
Ning Xiguang simply packed a few clothes, and it was also at this time that she found out that the marshal came back this time, in addition to bringing her two coats, he also brought her a lot of cosmetics.
Among the military backpacks he brought yesterday, in addition to the tweed coat he bought for her and his two sets of clothes, the rest contained the most cosmetics of various brands.
There are the earliest invincible brand alabaster in Huaguo, as well as Pechoin, Kong Fengchun, Xie Fuchun, and of course, the twin sisters who have been popular until later generations of high-end skin care products for celebrities and ladies.
In addition, there are many European and American cosmetics.
Such as Max Factor in the United States, Charlesian in Unilever, Night Paris in France, Chanel and so on.
Ning Xiguang was excited.
