Chapter 36: Autumn Harvest and Winter Collection

Regarding this trademark, Dou Qiu and Zhang Zhao argued for a long time, because Master Ma Sanli's cross talk is called "Teasing You". He felt that it was a bit cheesy to take this name, but Zhang Zhao sent him back in a few words. The cheesy name is easy to remember, and if it uses homophony, there is no need to consider the issue of infringement. There is also a Dou character in Dou Qiu's name, which is also homophonic, which is simply a good name that kills three birds with one stone.

In the end, Zhang Zhao won, the name of the trademark has been reported to the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and the rest is to go through the procedure. Zhang Zhao originally thought about whether to consider doing something that traversers often do - preemptively registering trademarks. Later, I found out that I had to fill out a list again, and I had to run around to stamp a dozen stamps, and I had to be asked this and that curiously, and the trouble was going to die, so I just gave up.

It's almost the same thing, if it's thankless to do it. The brand name is just that, it is called KFC or gnawed German chicken, as long as it is a foreign brand, everyone will feel fresh and tall, and it will be more recognizable if it is not good to contact Texas grilled chicken. People think these names are good just because they are used to hearing them. If you really even register the appearance of other people's trademarks, it is estimated that you will have to file a lawsuit......

In the end, Zhang Zhao only registered his own trademark, and as for the trademarks that may be preemptively registered by foreigners in the future, let those arrogant state-owned enterprises continue to pay tuition, anyway, they are not bad for money.

After finishing the trademark, it was already late October. Every household began to do one of the most important things - winter storage! To say that life in this era is good and bad, but the most intoxicating thing is the price of the cheating food in winter. After the first snow, as long as it is a little green, the vegetable seller dares to ask you for a pound of eight cents, and the vegetables in the state-run store are cheap, but the only ones that can be stably supplied for a long time are potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the rest of the dishes will depend on the mood when they will be available.

Therefore, it is the best choice to prepare all the vegetables for the winter when the vegetables are harvested in autumn. Some people think that the winter storage vegetables are just Chinese cabbage, but in fact it is not, of course, the Chinese cabbage for 3 cents a pound is the bulk of it, but the fairy can't stand it when he eats cabbage. So white radish, green radish, mustard gnocchi, and snow red are on the menu, dried and pickled, and can be eaten directly or put into stews.

"Let's go, the food has been delivered to the west alley, let's move it together!" Grandpa came home and gave an order, and the whole family went out to move the cabbage, leaving Grandma alone at home to clean up the vacant land. The food was delivered by a large carriage drawn by two horses, with stacks of cabbage more than one person high. Because it was so heavy, the two tall horses were trembling with their tired legs.

At this time, there are no electronic scales to use, and even the floor-mounted platform scales in the state-run stores are not something that these small vegetable vendors can buy, they use the same old-style rod scale called lifting scales, the hook in front of the scale is hung with bundled cabbage, and a wooden bar is passed through a ring near the hook, two people lift the scale with their shoulders, and the remaining one person weighs it with a scale behind the scale: "150 pounds!" The weighed cabbage was put aside, and Zhang Zhao, his parents and his aunt began to carry them home one by one.

The newly bought cabbage has too much water, and it is easy to rot whether it is stored or pickled, so the vegetables bought back must be processed and dried. Grandma put the wooden pier of chopping vegetables in the yard, and each vegetable that was brought back was first cut off and most of the leaves at the end were piled up in a large pot on the side, and then some old vegetables were also broken, and then on the courtyard wall of the Zhang family, there were neat rows of cabbage on the roof.

Drying vegetables and harvesting them on rainy days are the two most important things for adults in every household before winter. But for the bear kids, there's a lot to do this season. With the autumn wind, the leaves begin to turn yellow and fall. Pick up some fallen leaves, mainly poplar leaves, pick those with tough petioles, and use a variety of your own recipes to make them, including but not limited to soaking them in water, baking them over the fire, burying them in the mud, stuffing them into shoes, and finally this one is full of flavor and is not recommended.

At this time, when the two bear children meet, they will show their fierce fighting intentions to each other, and then take out their own carefully made treasure roots in the pocket of their clothes, intersect with the opponent's cross, and the two pull back together, and the winner rejoices, as if he has a great advantage, and the side of the broken petiole is not relenting, take out the new root and ask to continue the competition, never die!

If there is a god root who has won 10 games in a row, there will even be people who are willing to exchange toys and snacks, which can be regarded as another kind of currency among children.

In addition, the fallen leaves and hay everywhere activate the gene in the bear child's chest that has been inherited from primitive humans - ignition. Although the 5 cents a pack of Bakou matches fell out of favor for a while because the match guns were sold out, they took advantage of the east wind to regain their position.

Use a few bricks to build a stove pit, light a fire, and let a few bear children play happily for half a day. It would be even better if you could catch a few grasshoppers or praying mantis after autumn and put them on and roast. Of course, most of the roasted bugs were tossed aside, and only a few dared to feast on them. There are even grasshoppers thrown directly into the fire to see them jumping around with the flames, and most of the children in the residential area of the sixth factory do not lack this protein intake.

In addition to being busy, Dou Qiu also made a pocket-sized small stove with an iron medicine box and gave it to Zhang Zhao, and put two pieces of charcoal in it to slowly smolder, which could warm up for half a day. But this thing doesn't produce carbon monoxide, Zhang Zhao threw the furnace to Lin Zhiguang with such a question. This kid has a big mouth, so he guesses his respiratory function will be strong, right?

In the kindergarten, Ren Feifei began to ask for leave again, this time it was not half a day, but almost a week. Facing Xu Xiaofei's stinky face every day, Zhang Zhao was affected even by reading novels. Tian Yuhong was fooled into the pit of natural science by Zhang Zhao, but she was not interested in the astronomy and physics proposed by Zhang Zhao - in fact, if you think about it, it is normal for a girl to be not interested in these overly rational things. I'm very interested in electronic things, and with a few electronic components given by Zhang Zhao, plus a discarded headphone, I actually made a simple ore radio, and the sound effect is actually okay.

"Zhang Zhao, can you give me this radio?" Tian Yuhong asked cautiously.

Zhang Zhao said: "This was originally done by you, and it is naturally yours." ”

Tian Yuhong thanked him, carefully wrapped the radio with old newspapers, and put it in his canvas bag. After class in the evening, she hurried home. In autumn, the slums are even more dirty, the dried cabbage and radish are just a little bit of a place to be returned, and the pungent stench of dried fish and shrimp skin stored in winter has attracted countless flies. However, the dirtiest thing is the coal pile that every household prepares for winter heating, most of these people are reluctant to buy good lump coal, they are scattered cinders, coal foam, piled up into a small mountain, pay attention to the point of the cover with rags, sloppy directly pile in the open air. A gust of wind blows, kicking up black soot, which can directly turn a white shirt into a black shirt.

Grandma is making coal billets at the door, mixing and mud with loess and coal foam, and then using bamboo boards to make molds into rectangular coal billets, and then using them, and when the coal billets are dried, they can be taken out and sold. A billet of coal can earn about 3 cents after removing the cost, which is the most important source of income for this three-generation family.

"Little Red is back? Are you tired of going to school? There are steamed buns in the pot that grandma specially left for you, you go and eat them, be careful not to be heard by your father. Grandma smoothed the billet with a spatula and threw the extra slime into the next mold.

"No need grandma, I ate quite much in kindergarten...... "Today is fried celery, Zhang Zhao didn't eat a bite, and poured it all to her. Tian Yuhong thought of the boy who was often stunned in a daze, but was actually extremely smart and kind, and a soft smile appeared on his face: "By the way, grandma, I made a radio, and we can listen to radio programs at night in the future!" ”

Grandma said, "Xiaohong, you didn't steal someone else's things, did you?" The radio can also be made by itself? ”

Tian Yuhong did not explain to her grandmother what the simplest ore radio was, but took out the finished radio in her bag, and then brought the headphones to her grandmother.

"Oh, this can really be heard!" Grandma heard the sound from inside: "Children, the little horn has started broadcasting, tick......." The voice came from inside, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

Tian Yuhong also smiled and said: "Of course, this radio doesn't need batteries!" ”

Grandma said: "Oh, this cultured is different, and your mother spends money to let you go to school every month." ”

Tian Yuhong bowed her head and said, "Grandma, don't mention her, okay?" ”

Grandma sighed: "Alas, it's all fate......"

Is it fate? Tian Yuhong lowered her head and thought, originally she felt that fate was so unfair to her, her father was broken in the martial arts, and her mother remarried and no longer wanted her, the first few years of her life were like a dirty ball that everyone was tired of being kicked around, if it weren't for a kind grandmother, maybe she would have starved to death, right?

But fortunately, when she hadn't lost confidence in life, she met Zhang Zhao. This is the only one who doesn't dislike her and can make friends with her. She still remembers the conversation on the first day of meeting, when the other party still gave her cookies after being sued by herself: "I sued the teacher, aren't you angry?" "I'm so angry, so I'm going to choke you with cookies!"

Tian Yuhong hugged the schoolbag in his hand and smiled. She found that she had been laughing a lot more recently, so she walked into her broken bed, took out the book "Introduction to Radio" that Zhang Zhao had "lent" her, and flipped through the pages. I can't understand a lot of words, but she still has to try to remember, she remembers a small talk with Zhang Zhao, he mentioned that everyone can't do without mobile phones and computers in the future, these should be electronic products, right? If he learns this, will he become a useful person?
