Chapter 44: Jerky
Chen Xiangqin said that eating meat until she vomited was naturally a joke, she bought so much meat and ribs, part of it was for her own family, and the other part was to make these meats into jerky and send them to Zhang Chenyi.
She felt that the food in the army was definitely not very good, and now that she began to make money, the first step was naturally to feed her family's stomachs.
Zhang's mother was a little worried about her daughter-in-law's lavish spending, so she spent almost 20 yuan to buy meat to eat.
But as soon as she heard that the meat was going to be made into jerky and sent to her son, Zhang's mother smiled, but she couldn't say anything about spending less money.
No matter how the daughter-in-law spends the money, she earns the money by herself anyway, and it is still spent on her son, if she finds fault again, it will be too bad.
"Xiangqin, you go to make clothes, I heard that people want thirty clothes, don't delay. I'll get this meat, and I'll make you ribs to eat at night. Mother Zhang pushed her out of the kitchen and said.
"Mom, you can keep what we eat, cut the rest of the meat into long strips and put it in long strips, call me in a while, and I'll marinate it." After Chen Xiangqin told Zhang's mother, she ran to the hall to find her father-in-law.
"Dad, do you know who the electrician in our village is? I'd like to pull a few more electric ropes and a few more light bulbs. Xiaoru and I make clothes at night, and the wattage of this bulb is too low and dim, which hurts our eyes. Chen Xiangqin can't do it, after all, there is no incandescent light at this time, the lights are dim, and the warm artistic conception is there, but I can't see the line clearly!
Moreover, Chen Xiangqin still has a concern, it seems that it will be winter soon, when it is cold in winter, it is minus seven or eight degrees, and there is no heating at home when it is so cold, and when the cold hands are not taken out of their pockets, let alone making clothes.
Therefore, she has to work overtime to make more clothes out quickly, and after making money, she will quickly renovate the house, and then build a room where the sewing machine is used to make clothes, and then burn the stove in it, so that she will not be afraid of the cold in winter.
"Okay, I'll go find him and ask him to come over and see how to get it." After hearing this, Zhang's father immediately got up and went out.
"Dad, you take the money, and buy a bulb with a larger wattage. How much people want, you just look at it and give it, don't worry about money. Chen Xiangqin took out the money in her pocket and said to him.
Father Zhang's face was a little unsightly, and he didn't take the money, but frowned, "Take the money back, how can I use your money." ”
After that, he went out.
Chen Xiangqin was stunned, then smiled, thinking that after her daughter got married, her father would treat her like this.
My father-in-law is a very nice person.
It's just that they usually don't want their own money, just how much income comes from farming and pig raising.
Chen Xiangqin began to think hard about what her in-laws would do.
-
"Xiangqin, you look at the fire, I fed our pigs, it's time to give birth in the next two days, I'll feed them a few more times." Zhang's mother stewed pork ribs, and then took the basin to get pig food.
Chen Xiangqin's eyes lit up when she thought of the pigsty greenhouse, in fact, she could let her in-laws grow vegetables in the greenhouse!
It's just that I don't know if there is any free field at home to get, but Chen Xiangqin immediately denied the idea of growing vegetables in her own field.
Now the fields have just been distributed from the brigade, and they are all precious, and they are all planted with wheat, and it is impossible to get out the vacant land to get vegetables in this greenhouse.
The field can't be planted, so it can only be done at home, there is no one behind their house, push the wall behind them, move it outside, and there will be more enclosures, and there will be an acre of land, and then you can experiment.

After pulling the thread at home and installing more light bulbs, Chen Xiangqin and Xiaoru began to work overtime day and night to make clothes, both of them are hard-working and capable, and they can make six tops a day, and the pants can be made ten because they are simpler.
However, despite this, Chen Xiangqin found that the speed at which they did it could not catch up with the speed of ordering, not to mention the high-level orders from the third aunt, that is, the proprietress here, the original more than 30 pieces had already been sold out, and she now wants a batch of goods almost every two days, and she wants more than a dozen pieces at a time.
Because the proprietress also has a way, she not only sells in the town, but also sells to the outside, and even wants to do wholesale, but unfortunately, Chen Xiangqin and they can't do it at all.
Every time the proprietress came over, she had to sigh, "You guys are too slow, it's all money tickets!" We can't do more, don't you feel distressed when you see the money slipping away from your eyes? ”
Chen Xiangqin, who was so tired that she was about to collapse, just wanted to give her two words, hehe.

Military districts on the outskirts of Beijing.
"Deputy Platoon Commander Zhang, there is your package! Oh, this is heavy enough, there are more than a dozen pounds, what kind of good things did your hometown send you. A veteran in the mailroom lifted a heavy black package and handed it to Zhang Chenyi, and asked with a smile.
"I don't know." Zhang Chenyi lifted it, and the heavy package made his heart feel warm.
Carrying the package back to the dormitory, Zhang Chenyi couldn't wait to open the package, unwrap the layers of things, and saw a large amount of dried meat in a plastic box.
After Zhang Chenyi cleaned up everything, he was a little stunned by the amount of dried meat.
What a lot of meat!
In addition to the meat, there was also a letter, which Zhang Chenyi couldn't wait to tear open, because the action was too urgent, and the letter paper inside was torn by him.
After reading the letter, Zhang Chenyi looked at the jerky on the table again, and his eyes were a little sour.
"What does this smell like, so fragrant! It's meat, damn it, and so much! At this moment, the other comrades-in-arms in the same dormitory returned, and as soon as they entered the dormitory, they sniffled, and when they saw the jerky on the table, their eyes were green.
In the army, food stamps are also required for meals, of course, some food stamps will be issued to them in advance, but this is a large amount of training every day, and there is a lot of food, for most soldiers, the food stamps are not enough to eat, let alone meat, and occasionally you can find some minced meat in a pile of cabbage to eat.
"Deputy platoon leader, this, where did you get this jerky?!" Zhou Datong, the platoon leader of another platoon in the same dormitory, swallowed his saliva and tried not to be too embarrassed and asked.
"Your sister-in-law sent it from home, eat it, you're welcome." Zhang Chenyi properly received the letter in the pocket on his chest and placed it close to his heart.
"Wow! It's also so delicious! It smells so good! It's delicious! ”
"Deputy platoon commander, sister-in-law's skills are too good! You're blessed......"
Zhang Chenyi also picked up a jerky and put it in his mouth, chewing the fragrant and tenacious jerky, listening to the praise of his comrades-in-arms around him, this heart flew back home, and he really wanted to hold his capable daughter-in-law tightly into his arms.
