"The house is in there."

The old lady took out the key, opened the wooden door full of quaint atmosphere, and walked in with Liu Xiaping.

It is a four-storey pavilion surrounded on three sides, with an empty field in front of it, growing some seasonal vegetables, and stone tables and chairs next to it, but it is crooked, stumbling, and has been abandoned for a long time.

Liu Xiaping looked at this place in surprise, "Mother-in-law, this yard ......"

"Don't worry, it's okay to live in this yard, it was taken in before, and it was returned to our house last year, but it was empty, so I cleaned it up and planned to rent it out." The old lady hurriedly explained, "There are so many rooms, you can choose one to rent at will, two yuan a month, and if you have food stamps, you can also give you a cheaper." ”

Liu Xiaping looked at the old lady's face and immediately understood what was going on.

The people who lived in this courtyard before were obviously not rich or expensive, and they must have been criticized in the past few years, but now that the reform and opening up, many persecuted people have been able to show their fortune, so this house has naturally been returned.

It's just that for the owner of this house, the suffering in those years is too deep, and it is estimated that he has palpitations, so he does not dare to live in it again, and would rather rent out the house first.

Picking a slightly spacious house, Liu Xiaping nodded, quite satisfied with this place, and then said to the old lady with a smile, "Mother-in-law, let's just this one, I still have a sister waiting for me outside, I'll go and pick her up, can I give you rent when the time comes?" ”

Seeing that she was willing to rent a house, the old lady also loosened her eyebrows, smiled and waved her hand, "Yes, I'll go with you, otherwise you won't remember the way after a while." ”

Liu Xiaping nodded, and did not refuse the old lady's kindness.

Soon, the two of them found He Xiang, Liu Xiaping hurriedly said where to rent, He Xiang didn't know whether the rent was expensive or cheap, but two yuan a month was still acceptable, at least cheaper than the place he rented before.

After looking for a house for such an afternoon, she is really tired and doesn't want to move now.

After paying the rent, the two began to clean up the house.

In the evening, the two of them realized that they were not the only people living here, and that there was another single woman who lived here, but that woman lived on the second floor, and the room they had chosen was on the first floor.

There was a large kitchen in the pavilion, with four stoves alone, but for them, firewood was a problem.

After all, if you burn a coal stove, you also need a coal ticket, and neither of them has a single thing.

After thinking about it, I can only use the earthen stove temporarily.

Liu Xiaping found the old lady and asked about firewood, "Mother-in-law, do you know where you can buy firewood?" Or where there is a mountain where you can chop wood. ”

The old lady rubbed her hands a little embarrassed, "If you want to sell firewood, you can ask my son to chop firewood for you, can you have two bundles for one dollar?" ”

One dollar is almost the price of ten catties of rice, and they can save this money if they go to collect firewood themselves, but it is not wise for them to waste their time on chopping and collecting firewood if they want to do business now.

It can be seen that the old lady is obviously short of money, and she is also stubborn when she says this.

Sighing lightly, Liu Xiaping looked at the old lady's embarrassed appearance and nodded, "Okay, then please trouble your son-in-law to get me two bundles of firewood today, and I will use them early tomorrow morning." ”

As she spoke, Liu Xiaping took out a piece of money and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady accepted the money and hurriedly responded with a smile, "Okay, I'll let him send it over immediately." ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I also want to ask you if there is any extra kettle here, where can I get meat and bones." Liu Xiaping hurriedly asked.

"Do you want to eat the meat and bones yourself?" The old lady asked a little strangely, after all, no one had anything to eat at this time.

Liu Xiaping nodded, a little embarrassed, "I don't have any meat tickets in my hand, so I want to get some meat bones." ”

"Oh, that's right, no one usually buys those bones, if you want them, I can find a way to get you some, but it's definitely going to cost you." The old lady thought of her nephew, and she didn't know if she could get the bones out.

"Really, thank you so much if you can get it." Liu Xiaping said happily, if you want to eat something privately at every relative at the food station these days, if you don't know that Aunt Lin's character is too bad before, she will have to continue to live there because her nephew sells meat at the food station.

After all, it's really hard to meet a landlord who can meet a relative who works at a food station.

If she really can't get the bones, she can only make a vegetable soup and sell it, but the price is definitely not as high as the broth.

asked the old lady to rent an extra kettle, and Liu Xiaping went back to the house.

He Xiang had already reorganized the house, cleaned it cleanly, and the strange smell in the house slowly dissipated a lot.

"Today we still have some bones left to cook a pot, tomorrow we will make do with it, there is still a lot of rice left, you can make more meat porridge, there are not a few catties of flour, it is estimated that we will sell it again tomorrow, we will buy it again."

He Xiang counted the rest of the things, and originally thought that the remaining more than 200 catties of food stamps in his hand were enough, but at present, it seems that it is estimated that it will be used for a month.

"We can try to make some vegetable dumplings, and we can't use all the rice to cook porridge." Liu Xiaping thought for a while, "We can also make cold noodles, if it's summer, this thing is easy to sell." ”

Cold noodles are the special snacks of GY City, which is ground into rice milk with rice, and then spread a layer of oilcloth on the steamer, and then steamed out, and then cut into strips after cooking, hot can be eaten, cold can also be eaten, after a few years, she still remembers that cold noodles basically replaced the breakfast of people in GY City, because of the difference in water quality, this kind of cold noodles can not be eaten outside at all, and it can only be regarded as cold skin made in other provinces and cities, but there is no taste of rice.

"Cold noodles? Will you do it? "Although He Xiang is also from Sichuan Province, he is from CD City, and there is no such thing as cold noodles there.

"Try it, it should be possible." Liu Xiaping didn't say anything, although she made cold noodles in the Han family in her previous life, she had only made them twice, and she didn't know if she could make them.

"Then try it." He Xiang smiled, took out the money she earned today, and shook a stack of gross tickets in front of her, smiling very proudly, "Guess how much money we earned at noon?" ”

Liu Xiaping's eyes lit up when she saw the large pile of gross tickets, "Is it enough for a big unity?" ”
