The people of the old capital attach great importance to the New Year.

"Sugar melon sacrifice stove, the New Year is coming, the girl wants flowers, the young man wants cannons, the old lady wants a new cloth shirt, and the old man wants a new felt hat."

The people of Beijing celebrate the New Year, and there is a saying that Laba is followed by the New Year, and it has continued until the Lantern Festival.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month is the "small order festival", also known as the "handover year", on this day the sacrificial stove ceremony is held, and the stove prince is sent back to the heavenly court to "report on his work".

In order to let him go to heaven to say good deeds, and wait for the thirty nights to come back, and then "keep the peace in the lower realm".

sent away the stove king, and people became more "presumptuous" for the New Year.

The twenty-seventh day of the lunar month is the busiest day.

Twenty-seven, kill the New Year's chicken.

XXVII. Wash malaria.

Twenty-seven, shaved finely.

Twenty-seven, catch up with the big set......

It's all arranged on the 27th day.

Early in the morning, Wei Ping'an and Zhou Wen were "picked" by the busy Mrs. Zhang.

The old lady never used to make a sound when she got up, she just went in and out of the north room, and the door was slammed.

If Wei Ping'an and Zhou Wenxiao are still bedridden, she will stay in the house to "pick up".

Ding-jingle non-stop.

Until the two of them got up sleepily.

Compared with Wei Ping'an, Zhou Wen is relatively more adaptable, after all, she works from 9 to 5, and getting up an hour early is nothing.

And Wei Ping'an is busy every day, and his biological clock has long been disordered, although his biological clock is normal, it is easy to come back, and he is very inert.

Seeing his man's misty sleepy eyes and a chicken nest on his head, Zhou Wen laughed out loud.

"It's almost 5 o'clock, hurry up and clean up, you have to line up to catch the market......"

Mrs. Zhang's voice sounded at this time.

Then the cotton curtain was lifted, and he went out again.

The little couple couldn't get tired anymore, so they got up tightly to wash and dress.

Zhou Wen wore a pink Nanji warm underwear, velvet, which Wei Ping'an took out when he entered the winter, a slim autumn coat, which was easy to wear and easy to move, and was deeply loved by Zhou Wen.

It's much sharper than a bloated padded jacket and cotton pants.

may be due to the fact that he was born with a good foundation, or it may be due to the nature of Zhou Wen's work, after giving birth, his figure is not only not out of shape, but better than in the past.

Maybe it has something to do with the times.

With less oil and water and a lot of exercise, going to work every day is like aerobic fitness.

The women carried the work on their shoulders, both young and old.

"Uh......"

Wei Ping'an hugged Zhou Wen from behind, put his chin on her shoulder, sniffed, and kissed her neck.

"Oh, don't make a fuss, it's broad daylight."

"Daughter-in-law, you are so charming."

If he said this outside, he would definitely be a hooligan, but in his own home, Zhou Wen heard it as if he had eaten honey.

"I'll have to queue up for a while, don't mess with me, I didn't ...... last night."

"How can this be enough, when you wake up, you will be alive again."

Wei Ping'an hurriedly ran inside to pee.

This little girl is very tiger now, if she really goes off the rails, it won't be over in an hour.

After the delay, the old lady was not allowed to jump her feet.

When Wei Ping'an came home last night, he caught up with the old lady arranging today's process.

The old lady attaches great importance to this day, as if the extent to which she has achieved today represents how comfortable she can live this year, and how happy she will be in life in the coming year.

The Spring Festival of 1963 was a significant year.

This year, the factory was restored, and people's mental outlook was different from before.

A week before the holiday, the Beijing government issued a document to fully restore all kinds of supplies.

On the 27th, the New Year's goods of the Dongdan vegetable market opened.

Today, there are local specialties and fresh fruits and vegetables brought from all over the country for the common people to purchase.

The first thing Mrs. Zhang arranged yesterday was to buy vegetables.

In winter, if you can eat cucumbers with thorns on the top, it is a very happy thing.

This time you have to go ahead and pick the freshest.

"Have you taken it all? Grain, non-staple food......"

Zhou Zimo has a book, which is considered the Zhou family, Wei Ping'an and Zhou Wen have a book, which belongs to the Wei family.

The two have been mixed together, but the amount that can be purchased is sufficient.

When he got home last night, Wei Ping'an also took a rest, was arrested and not only contributed a lot of bills, but was also entrusted with the task of carrying vegetables and grabbing vegetables.

What did it look like at half past five in the winter of the capital in 1963?

Wei Ping'an can pat his chest and tell you, eight words to describe.

Red men and green women, crowded with people.

At a glance, they are all human heads.

A large piece of black pressing, there is a buzzing sound of ear-to-ear, and the occasional laughter through the clouds, in short, queuing here, sniffing with your eyes closed, you can also smell a happy New Year.

Dabao sat in a sleigh, wrapped in an army-green coat, like a green snowman.

Wei Dabao was still sleeping.

Inside the military coat was a big padded jacket that Wei Ping'an didn't wear much, which was the one he used for the first sleigh ride before.

And then there are Dabao's own cotton jackets and pants.

It can be regarded as three layers inside and three layers outside.

In Grandma's cognition, you are not afraid of being hot, and you must not freeze.

Wei Dabao was wrapped and couldn't move, squinting his eyes and falling asleep.

Rifle sat there sticking out his tongue, like a fake dog if it weren't for the fog.

There is also auspiciousness lying next to Laifu.

Today is a double-wheel car, because if there are too many things to buy for a while, let Dabao help pull some.

This is all thought of by the old lady.

Wei Dabao felt that he was very happy to be involved, otherwise how could he be carried by his grandmother at 5 o'clock and not make a fuss.

The vegetable market opened at 6 o'clock, or it may be that you feel the eagerness of the people and want to extend the day.

But even so, by the time Wei Ping'an's family went in, it was already past seven o'clock.

The old lady next to her was chattering vigorously, she got up late, she should get up at four o'clock, and come over at five o'clock.

She was afraid of not having too fresh vegetables.

But apparently she underestimated the importance the government placed on the year.

There are a lot of varieties of dishes, and the quantity is large, so it is not a problem to sell them all morning.

"Old Wei, Old Wei ......"

Wei Ping'an was bending down to "grab" the mushrooms by the side of the stall, and a faint voice came from the distance.

When I looked up, I saw a person waving frantically at the door of the butcher shop.

"You guys line up here, I'll go to Lao Lin and take a look."

Lin Dong's shop is in the vegetable market, a unique location, at this time shouting Wei Ping'an, there must be "greasy".

Someone outside looked at the board to sell meat, and Lao Lin pulled Wei Ping'an into the backyard.

"Hey, how many pigs are there today?"

"Today, no matter how much you buy, you can sell it out, and I'm still too little. Guess your family has to come today, what are you going to order, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes? Do you want Jinhua ham? And the ditch gang roast chicken, come two? ”

"What's going on?"

Wei Ping'an took out a cigarette and lit it, and Lao Lin also lit it.

"Let's smoke one with a filter, too."

"Here, this bag is all for you, take it back for the New Year......"

"Those fruits, vegetables and local specialties outside, there are a lot of them left over there, if you want me to take you there."

Lin Dong pointed to the northwest corner and said.

"What's going on? There's still a back door, huh? ”

"Such old things, designated can't be sold out in one day, a lot of units and duty units that can't be idle to buy New Year's goods, must not stay in advance to prepare, but how much to prepare, then hehe......"

"Really."

Wei Ping'an's mouth suddenly opened.

Supply and marketing cooperatives have some best-selling goods that outsiders can't buy all year round, and only can be bought from the inside, isn't that the reason used?

It's just that one is long-term, and the other is only convenient for "operation" during the Chinese New Year.

"Then let's get over here?"

"Walking."

Wei Ping'an has 356 letters of introduction, and according to his level and the nature of his job, he can open letters of introduction to people in his team.

In other words, whether it is an individual or a representative of a research group in the unit, it all depends on Wei Ping'an's liking.

As long as the tickets and money are in place, it will do.

Is Wei Ping'an short of the tickets and money?

It's funny to ask this kind of question.

Wei Ping'an said hello to the old lady and daughter-in-law, and left the family behind.

There are two men in the family who accompany these two young and old women.

One is Zhou Zimo, who came here with a sack as a belt in full armor, and now he has a small half bag and buys it from stall to stall.

The family has money and tickets, and the old lady is willing to spend lavishly.

In the past few years, she can see that her grandson-in-law is so capable, and she doesn't dare to ask how much her salary is.

I'm afraid I'll float if I hear it.

The other man is Wei Dabao, although he is wrapped so thickly that he can't even wave his hands with his father, but the two dogs who can't stand the sleigh are powerful, and they pile up a lot of fresh vegetables, and they can easily pull it.

The key is that fresh vegetables can also be covered by the corners of the coat, so they are not afraid of freezing directly.

It was just perfect.

Wei Ping'an followed Lin Dong out from the back of his shop, and after turning around in the small alley, he came to a large warehouse full of goods.

It must be as high as two or three floors, and in the warehouse dozens of meters deep, two-thirds of the area is piled up, and the items are also built high.

There were already a dozen people inside, and it was obvious that someone had brought them over.

These people have a common characteristic, that is, they are dressed decently, and they seem to be either rich or expensive, and they are all masters who are a little powerful or not bad at "supply".

Looking at the scene in front of him, if it weren't for the fact that these people were dressed very distinctively, Wei Ping'an would have thought that he had arrived at the big warehouse of "expiring food" that was piled up during the pandemic.

Wei Ping'an turned his head and looked at Lin Dong playfully.

Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, and scratched the back of his head a little embarrassed.

"Lao Wei, you look at and buy, it doesn't matter how much you buy or how little, the pig's trotters and the next goods are all prepared for you, and then you will give you two pigs' heads."

This is simply the little cat in the market management part.

Someone brings it, sells a part of it privately, and then a small group of people get some benefits......

Those who bring in can also get a piece of the pie.

"Okay, Lao Lin, I'm also hiding, you can get it if you say no......"

Lin Dong brought the big household, from the beginning Lin Dong and a force followed, and then four or five force workers followed, and they were called by Wei Ping'an.

"Six boxes of apples of these varieties and two boxes of green bananas are the same......

"How much can you give bacon? …… Okay, then let's go with the maximum amount......"

"I can't put down the fruits in the south, just come to a box of the same, more cantaloupe and watermelon, especially watermelon, Lao Lin knows that I love to eat this ......"

"All sugar cane should be red-skinned...... The green-skinned ones can come with two bundles......"

Wei Ping'an procured New Year's goods and materials under the banner of 356 metallurgical research teams.

Wherever you go, you go.

Lin Dong felt that Wei Ping'an was not bad, so he brought him over as a big master, thinking that he would buy a lot of things, but he never expected to buy so much.

"Pile it up at the back door, and when the market closes at night, I arrange for a truck to come and pull it."

"Okay, Master Wei, don't worry, I'll find someone to help you keep an eye on it, if there is less goods, I'll strip naked and run on the street for a while......"

A white special supply of China will take care of the person in charge of this warehouse.

A thin and thin young man who is not short, with a mole on his right eyebrow and a hairy child on it.

The only thing that made Wei Ping'an unhappy was that Jinhua ham bought too little.

Only six were given.

It's not that Wei Ping'an is reluctant to buy it, but the other party really doesn't dare to sell it anymore, and there will be a lot of pressure after too many shipments.

Jinhua ham is a luxury product, and there are not many people who buy it, otherwise two is the limit.

However, the portions are actually good.

Each one was longer and thicker than Wei Ping'an's arm.

In the store, they are all cut and sold.

"Lao Wei, you are really good, this purchase volume, the unit has to be young and old."

"Shhhhh Anyway, I didn't disgrace you, let's go, go to your house and get the pig's head. ”

……

Wei Ping'an was waiting outside the Dongdan vegetable market with a sack. Two bikes are parked here, and it's also where the big guys make an appointment.

In the sack was a bag of pig's trotters and a pig's head, and the rest of Wei Ping'an were stored in the space.

In fact, there are a lot of things in Wei Ping'an's space, but his mentality of being prepared for danger in times of peace is still the same.

In four or five years, there will be another situation, and the food and drink will be even more tense than it is now.

Because even if it was difficult in the first three years, the "ghost market" was there, and there was hope to get what you needed.

And at that stage four or five years later, the "ghost market" will be forced to "close down".

There are also those who will be raided and criticized.

Wei Ping'an not only eats by himself, but in his planning, there are many people he has to feed.

Far away, the crowd diverted a pathway, and Jixiang and Laifu trotted out with their heads held high.

Followed by the sleigh, Wei Dabao was able to wave his hand, because the outermost military coat was spread on the sleigh, and he successfully reduced the weight on his body.

"Daddy, Daddy......"

Behind the sleigh were Zhou Wen and the old lady, both carrying the things they had purchased.

Finally, Zhou Zimo.

Holding the sack mouth on his right shoulder with both hands, he followed behind step by step, the sack was bulging and sinking, and Zhou Zimo's entire upper body was stretched forward, obviously a little difficult to carry.

"After the New Year, I started to exercise, but the young man can't be bored."

"Yes, brother-in-law."

Zhou Zimo saw Wei Ping'an take the sack with one hand, and his eyes were straight.

At this moment, his admiration and admiration for his brother-in-law unconsciously rose to a higher level.

As long as the monthly pass is put here, the two chapters of the daily update will not be discounted......
