Chapter 72: Eating Dumplings 3
Zhao Xiulan respects talents, especially people like Jiang Cheng and Uncle Chen who have contributed to the country.
Knowing Jiang Cheng's identity, his image in Zhao Xiulan's heart suddenly improved by several points.
The two men in the room chatted enthusiastically, Zhao Xiulan and Aunt Chen also chatted with each other, the two worked together, and the dumplings were wrapped in a short time.
One pound of pork is about two pounds of shepherd's cabbage, and the ratio of meat to vegetables is a little higher, but in this year, it is good to be able to taste some meat foam.
Aunt Chen is like this, which is already considered a luxury, so she put two catties of camellia and can still taste a lot of meat.
In the end, a total of more than 110 dumplings were wrapped, and Zhao Xiulan could eat more than a dozen of such dumplings alone.
The original owner has a small appetite now, and if it is changed to before, Zhao Xiulan can eat more than 20 dumplings completely.
Aunt Chen's appetite is a little bigger, and she can eat about twenty of them.
As for Uncle Chen and Jiang Cheng, the two of them are men after all, and men's appetites are generally greater than women's, and it is estimated that they can eat thirty or forty.
Aunt Chen originally thought that she could keep some leftovers at noon, but now it seems that her thoughts are superfluous, such a few dumplings, she will definitely be able to eat them at noon.
Especially Jiangcheng, Aunt Chen can remember that this child can eat, she used to make dumplings, and she could eat forty at a time.
It's no wonder that Jiang Cheng has a big appetite, men, it's normal to eat a little more. Jiang Cheng's job is good, no matter how much he can eat, he also has that condition to eat.
Unlike ordinary people, they can eat but can't eat, so they can only go hungry.
Mrs. Chen lives in the county seat, which is different from the countryside, where things like wood, straw, and straw are used for fire, while in the city are coal, briquettes, and the like.
These are also supplied on a monthly basis, and when they run out, they are gone.
After the accident between Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen, although life was a little sad, in the end they were still urban household registration, and they could receive some supplies of grain, coal, and briquettes every month, but there were not many, otherwise Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen would not be so hungry that they would have to go to the black market to exchange food.
In other seasons, it was fine, but in the winter, when the weather cooled down and there was no other means of heating, the coal supply was not enough at all.
In the winter of the past few years, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen gritted their teeth and survived. When you are lucky, you can exchange some old items for coal, but in most cases you can't exchange it, although coal is not as scarce as food, but it is still not much, the supply is insufficient, and most families are not enough, let alone who takes it out to change.
The coal stove Chen Damiang burned early, when not in use, the lid of the vent was sealed, leaving only a small slit for warm water, if used, directly remove the lid of the vent, and the briquettes could burn vigorously.
Aunt Chen put the iron pot at home on the coal stove, and the iron pot was broken with a big hole, so she could only make do with it.
In these days, it is not easy to buy a pot, a kitchen knife or other iron things, they are all available in limited quantities, and you have to use money and industrial coupons to buy them.
After the accident at Mrs. Chen's house, no matter the money and tickets, there was no way to change the iron pot.
Fortunately, it can still be used reluctantly, which is better than nothing.
Zhao Xiulan watched from the sidelines, sighed, and next time she came to Aunt Chen's place, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy an iron pot, and it happened that she still had a lot of industrial coupons there.
Mrs. Chen added some water to the pot, boiled it for a few minutes, and then the water boiled, and then the dumplings were served.
