After lunch, Zhang Xuelan asked Pan Shiyun to wash the pot and dishes.

Afraid that the neighbors would suddenly come to Lao Pan's house to visit the door, Zhang Xuelan kicked a few children out to play, and plugged in the gate, so that the meat brought back by Pan Yang was brought to the pressure well.

They ate about half a catty of pork at noon, and there were two and a half catties left, Zhang Xuelan washed it with water first, and put it on the big stone that is usually used to wash clothes to control the water, as for the pig's trotters and pig water, it is more troublesome to deal with, especially the pig water, if it is not clean, there is a smell of pig.

Zhang Xuelan shouted at Pan Shiyun and asked her to boil a large pot of boiling water. First, the pig's trotters are scalded and plucked, the pig's large intestine is turned over, the food residues inside are washed off with cold water, and then blanched with hot water.

Pan Shiyun sighed, ran into the kitchen, opened the lid of the bucket, there was no water, and brought the bucket to press the water on the side of the well, she was small, the bucket was big, and she couldn't carry the water at all after fetching.

When their mother was busy, Pan Yang was not idle, whether it was pork or pig's trotters, there must be a storage place after pickling, Zhang Xuelan asked him to move the large vat of pickled dried radish at home out and clean it.

Pan Yang was busy working, Pan Shiyun rubbed beside him, pulled his little coat and scarf, and whispered, "Ada, I'll help bring the water in." ”

If it was normal, Pan Shiyun might have called Zhang Xuelan directly, but her mother had only trained her at noon, she was angry at this time, and she didn't want to call her mother, but she was a big girl, and she felt very good talking recently, and she also responded to their needs.

Pan Yang had yellow pickle water in his hands, scooped the water and washed it down, carried the bucket to the kitchen with one hand, and intimately poured water directly into the pot for Pan Shiyun.

Pan Shiyun whispered in the kitchen, "Ada, I see that my mother is still angry." ”

Pan Yang comforted her, "Don't worry about your mother, she has that temperament, and she will forget about it later." ”

"Pan Zhaoke, the salt is gone, you go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some salt and come back."

The father and daughter were muttering quietly, and Zhang Xuelan's shouting came in. There wasn't much salt left in the salt shaker at home, and just marinating the meat used up all the coarse salt.

Pan Yang answered, he had a few dollars in his pocket for spare, and was about to go out, when Zhang Xuelan called her, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the salt ticket for you." ”

Pan Yang was surprised, "Do you want salt tickets?" ”

In fact, at this time, when I go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things, in addition to a few special kinds of rice, flour, grain and oil, most of the daily necessities can be bought directly with money, such as salt, you can buy a pack for a dime, but Zhang Xuelan will live, usually save it, and there are still two salt tickets left at home, thinking that it will have to be used before the year, otherwise it will expire if you want to use it next year.

Pan Yang carried two salt tickets and went out to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Their village is divided into two brigades, the east and the west of the village, Panyang belongs to the west of the village, and there is a supply and marketing cooperative in the village, which is located in the middle of the east and west of the village. On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, Pan Yang met several acquaintances in the village.

"Zhaoke, I haven't seen you lately."

"Zhaoke, I heard that you went to the county seat, what are you doing in the county seat?"

"Zhaoke, where did you get rich?"

Pan Zhaoke smiled on his face, and his mouth was nonsense, "Where can I get rich, where am I going to ask for food, and where can I get rich." ”

Stopping all the way, I finally arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. This is the first time Pan Yang has entered the supply and marketing cooperatives in their village, I have to say that the supply and marketing cooperatives in their village are much smaller than those in the county, as soon as they enter the door, there is the bluestone platform, and behind the bluestone platform is the shelf, and the shelves are the daily necessities often used in the village, such as fire, toilet paper, shampoo, alabaster, etc., and then there is cloth, cotton and the like.

The supply and marketing staff in the supply and marketing cooperatives are also from their village, and the attitude is much better than that in the county, and the supply and marketing staff is the village party secretary Wang Youtian and his lover, with a round face combed with braids, and a dimple on his face when he laughs, which is particularly polite.

"Serve the people. Zhaoke brothers, what do you want to buy? What about your family, how did you become an errand runner? ”

Pan Yang smiled, "I'm busy, let me buy some salt and go back." ”

Hearing this, Wang Youtian and his lover weighed a pound of coarse salt, wrapped it in oiled paper, and handed it to Pan Yang, "Do you want anything else?" ”

Pan Yang really has a lot to buy, looking around the shelves, Pan Yang said, "Bring me eight toothbrushes, a toothpaste, a piece of soap, and a stack of toilet paper." ”

Pan Yang has wanted to buy these things for a long time, but she was shy in her pocket and couldn't afford to buy them, but now that she has money, the personal hygiene problem of family members must be solved.

And then there is the making of clothes.

Pan Yang glanced at a few pieces of cloth placed on the bluestone platform, the color was single, only black, gray, dark blue three colors, the material has polyester and cotton.

Pan Yang doesn't know much about making materials for clothes, but according to her personal dressing experience, cotton fabrics are suitable for summer clothes, absorbing sweat and not sticking to wear, as for polyester, they are relatively strong, relatively suitable for autumn and winter clothes, friction resistant and dirt resistant.

There was cloth and cotton, but Pan Yang didn't see the wool, so he asked Wang Youtian his lover, "Isn't there any wool?" ”

If she had wool, she wanted to knit some sweaters for the children, which she could wear in the current climate.

Wang Youtian smiled at his lover, "Which thing can we afford in rural areas, not to mention whether we can afford it, the key is to buy it and get an industrial ticket, you see which one in our village has an industrial ticket?" ”

Pan Yang suddenly understood, the ancestors of their village were all old farmers for several generations, who could have a proper job like a city man who could get an industrial ticket?

Wang Youtian and his lover pointed to a few pieces of cloth on the bluestone platform, and said with a smile, "We can't wear sweaters, we can make cloth and tailor our own clothes, it's cold when we see it this day, if you want to make cotton jackets and cotton pants, you can do it, this cloth and cotton can be done without a ticket, as long as you have money in your pocket, it will save you trouble to buy!" ”

Cloth and cotton must be bought, but not now, she has to let Zhang Xuelan come and pick it in person, what color to buy, how much cloth to buy, she has the bottom in her heart, and she, a layman, will not participate.

I bought what I needed, Pan Yang paid the money, and I didn't even spend a dollar to buy these things, thinking of saving nearly three hundred yuan in her space, Pan Yang sighed for a while, the money in this era is really durable, if it is converted according to the consumption level of the era in which she lives, the three hundred yuan in her hand at present is at least equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan in her era, although it can't be said that she has more money, at least she can be emergency, and she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing!

Pan Yang picked up his things and walked back quickly, handing the salt to Zhang Xuelan.

Zhang Xuelan saw that she had bought a lot of 'unnecessary' things, and she had to worry about her wasting money, but Pan Yang didn't care, let her mutter, what should she do.

Pan Hengchun's grandfather and grandson came back from the dam in the evening, their legs were full of mud, the grandfather and grandson did not come back empty-handed, there were rattans along the dam, and the two of them took advantage of the fact that they were gone, and cut two bundles of rattan, and threw them all back in the yard.

The two saw that Pan Yang was back, and they were naturally surprised, they worked hard all day, and earned two jobs, although the dam was in charge of the rice, but the food was extremely poor, and the supply was small, the grandfather and grandson were not full at all, Zhang Xuelan burned the meat pieces left at noon at night, and the small intestine and large intestine were stir-fried, and a large pot of steamed buns was steamed, and it was swept away by everyone when it was served on the table.

After dinner, everyone was idle.

Pan Hengchun saw the two pheasants tied under the window, and it happened that he came back from cutting rattan today, and he was fine at this time, sitting on the second-story stone steps, preparing to make a chicken coop with rattan.

Pan Yang sat next to Pan Hengchun, cut the barbs on the rattan with a machete and handed it to Pan Hengchun.

Pan Hengchun has a lot of things to ask Pan Yang, but when the words come to his lips, he doesn't know where to start, he can't help his father, Pan Hengchun is most at ease with his eldest son, he believes that Pan Zhaoke will not do anything like a traitor when he goes out, as for the rest, Pan Hengchun doesn't want to care, what speculation, what to cut the tail, they can't even eat, what do you care about so much? Let's live one day at a time.

"You've been out there all these days, how's it going? Can you do some work? Pan Hengchun took a puff of dry cigarette and asked Pan Yang.

Pan Yang said to Pan Hengchun selectively, "It's much better than doing that little farm work at home, Ada, you can enjoy happiness in the future, and there is no shortage of earning one or two jobs at home." ”

Thinking of the dinner that night, Pan Hengchun sighed with satisfaction, "I wish you were out of breath, it's good to be out of breath." ”

The two of them chatted for a while, and the work on their hands did not stop, but after a while, the chicken coop was made up, with a small bite and a big belly, and the chicken was directly covered with a sieve, which was simple and trouble-free!

Pan Yang stared at the two pheasants with satisfaction, "Raise them for a few days, and when the eggs are laid, you will keep them for the children to eat." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pan Shisong came back from outside, grabbed a handful of weeds in his hand, and said, "Ada, I got some food for the two chickens." ”

Pan Shisong carefully opened the chicken coop, threw the weeds in his hand, and squatted on the side of the chicken coop to carefully stare at the two pheasants in the cage.

"Ada, do you think there will be chickens like this on Jingshan?" Pan Shisong asked Pan Yang.

Their village is close to Jingshan, and there are usually many people in the village who go up the mountain, whether anyone has hit pheasants and hares, Pan Yang doesn't know very well, but even if others hit it, they won't publicize it to the outside world, right? There must be game or something, Pan Yang thought that in two days, she would go to the mountains to see if she could find something to take to the county seat and sell it secretly.
