Ye Xia Zhi doesn't like other people's touches very much, but it's not easy to push Aunt Tian away.

"The second uncle is Anzi's second uncle...... Can't be honest, though.

In the village, the sesame seeds are exaggerated to the size of watermelons. ”

"I understand, thank you, auntie!"

"Do you want to buy a cabinet to hold food?

There's an old ...... at home Just use it and don't spend money indiscriminately. ”

"No need! There is something else to put in it...... Besides, you can't do special treatment! ”

"That's right...... Anyway, in addition to boxes and cabinets, you can also buy a wooden basin and wooden barrel, a grate for steaming the nest or something. ”

Aunt Tian once attended a literacy class for more than a year, and she can't be said to be educated, but in the end she is more knowledgeable than those village women in the village who can't read a single big word.

Knowing that people in the city are exquisite, they may dislike that their cabinets have been used!

It was not mentioned again.

As they spoke, they walked to the center of the village and stood by the earthen wall of a courtyard.

"Second uncle, is the second uncle at home?"

"Who? Grandma Zhuang said! A middle-aged woman about the same age as Aunt Tian came out of the house and opened the courtyard door.

"He Miao, this is a new educated youth.

Ye Zhiqing wanted a cabinet that could hold hundreds of catties of grain. Ye Zhiqing, this is Aunt He Miao, she is very warm-hearted......"

Aunt Tian said as she led Ye Xia Zhi into the courtyard

The courtyard looks quite large, not like everyone else grows vegetables, but there are some open wooden planks.

In addition, there are made kang qins, boxes, cabinets, and so on. None of them were painted, painted or carved.

Ye Xia Zhi took a look, and finally chose a wooden cabinet that could be stuck in the corner relatively speaking.

"This cabinet isn't big, huh? It's not as much as that box! ”

"Auntie, I choose to live in the kang tip, this cabinet should be placed just on the side of the kang, and the counter can also put a washbasin and the like." Ye Xia Zhi chose the kind that is similar to the old-fashioned without glass, with a height of about one meter and a half.

The sealed bookcase, which does not have a rhombic lattice, is also divided into two compartments, and the outside is also nailed with a lock.

She planned to use two locks to put several kinds of grain in the lower cupboard, and in the upper cabinet to put thick clothes and cotton jackets and so on.

The cabinet board looks quite thick, about a finger thick. It is inlaid with a whole wooden board, and there is a process of "wearing belts" in the middle.

The belt is mainly used in "cabinet hoarding, desktop board, chair seat board, desk panel".

The significance of wearing the belt is to prevent the deformation of the board surface, enhance the firmness and strength of the board and save wood.

Ye Xia Zhi understands these things because when he was a child, there was an old carpentry workshop in the yard next door.

She went there to play when she had nothing to do, and once saw a real old carpenter make furniture.

Not furniture that was quickly assembled with plywood, nail guns. It is a solid wood furniture that is really made of mortise and tenon joints chiseled out little by little with planers and chisels.

It's a pity that she was later taken to study in the city by her mother, and no one told her what a belt is and what a dovetail is.

I didn't expect to see it again when I returned to this era!

"My old man has been doing this for three years...... Girl, you're the first to know something. Aunt He Miao felt a little funny when she saw Ye Xia Zhi's love for it.

Nowadays, people can't eat enough, who still has the heart to buy a bookcase.

"Auntie, how do you change this?" Ye Xia Zhi remembered to say change, not business.

"This one! It may be a bit expensive, my old man asked for thirty yuan...... Or three hundred pounds of corn. ”

"What, thirty bucks?"

As a result, before Ye Xia Zhi could speak, Aunt Tian exclaimed first.

Thirty yuan in this era of purchasing power is one hundred and fifty catties of rice, or three hundred catties of cornmeal.

If Ye Xia Zhi really buys it, it is equivalent to spending nearly half a year's grain.

"Auntie, I really want to buy this cabinet...... Twenty bars!

The main thing is that I like the craftsmanship of this belt too much, as well as the dovetail technique of splicing the plates. ”

Ye Xia Zhi dares to guarantee that this will be put in future generations, and it is the inheritance of the skills of the craftsmen of the great country, which is no less valuable than the precious wood of red sandalwood and huanghuali.

Because this wood should be the same rare yellow pineapple in later generations, and the same yellow cedar wood that cannot be cut at will.

The wood of yellow cedar wood has the advantages of good luster, straight texture, coarse structure, obvious uniform annual rings, soft material, easy drying, and good processing performance.

The color and pattern of the material are very beautiful, the paint and gluing performance are good, and it is not easy to split.

Good corrosion resistance.

The hardness of yellow cedar wood is neutral, not easy to deform, and it is mainly used for military manufacturing of gun stocks, medium and high-grade furniture.

Ye Xia Zhi felt that thirty yuan was not expensive at all. However, bargaining has become a habit, otherwise I am afraid that I will be regarded as a wronged leader.

"This ......"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem, strong...... Is this the person you brought here? ”

With a heart-wrenching cough, the door was pushed open, and a dry old man of sixty or seventy years old came out.

"Second Uncle ......"

Aunt Tian greeted the old man respectfully, and pulled Ye Xia Zhi at the same time.

"Grandpa is so ......"

"Got this cabinet? The little girl has good eyesight. cough cough, cough ......"

The old man coughed several times, sounding like a dry cough without phlegm, which should have been caused by working in an environment prone to colds and allergies for a long time.

"The second uncle has been a carpenter all his life, and only retired from the factory a few years ago.

Now it is the Lilin brothers who go to work in the factory. Brother Lilin is the man of Aunt He Miao, the cousin of my family. ”

Aunt Tian whispered to Ye Xia Zhi.

"I'm not old enough to be ear-backed...... This cabinet is calm!

Let the dog call someone over to help carry it later! ”

"Second Uncle ......"

"It's not good to call your ancestors...... Give ten dollars and you'll get it, meaning! ”

Old Man Tian waved at Ye Xiazhi, signaling her to quickly take the cabinet and leave.

"It's not a business to take care of your family...... In addition, a basin and a barrel are required. The little girl loves to be clean. ”

"I'm going to call Brother Liye to move this cabinet......" Aunt He Miao was not angry at all, and left with a secret smile.

Aunt Tian saw that Ye Xia Zhi looked confused, and only said something after a while.

"The head of my family is Tian Liye, and the name of Hemiao's family is Tian Lilin, you have to call uncle."

Ye Xia Zhi immediately understood

Hurriedly took twenty yuan, a few catties of national food stamps and put them in front of Old Man Tian, and then took a wooden basin and a wooden barrel.

She's going to have to go back to making dinner!

said goodbye to Aunt Tian at the fork in the road, and Aunt Tian went to pick vegetables in her own field.

Ye Xia Zhi was planning in his heart what he was going to eat tonight.

When Ye Xia Zhi returned to the educated youth point, the educated youths basically came back.

Liu Caixia consciously carried the firewood to the stove room, which is not called the kitchen, but the stove room or the stove.

"Ye Zhiqing, you're back! These are the food ...... that everyone has taken out."

Liu Caixia was a little excited, it was strange if she wasn't excited, it was the first time she had so much food.

"It's too late, sir!"

Ye Xia Zhi glanced at the ingredients for tonight, there were beans and cucumbers bought at noon, and tomatoes that the locals shouted persimmons.

On the stove there were several bowls and tea pots, some more, some less, nothing more than corn flour or sorghum rice.

"Where's everyone?"

"Now they may all go to the mill to grind noodles, it turns out that soybeans are to be ground into flour, mixed with cornmeal and eaten in nests." In Liu Caixia's memory, soybeans were soaked and ground into a pulp, and tofu bean curd was ordered.

"Soybeans are highly nutritious, and eating them regularly is good for the human body.

Let's eat mush tonight! ”

Ye Xia Zhi is ready to make a quick meal, cornmeal and vegetable mush.

This time, instead of adding beans to the pot, she cut seven or eight fist-sized persimmons, and slapped a few cucumbers, which she sprinkled with a little salt.

After the persimmon soup in the pot boiled, Ye Xia Zhi added some lard to it.

Scooped out a small half bowl of soup and threw a small piece of solid soy sauce into it.

asked Liu Caixia to wash a few green onions and chop them.

At this time, the male intellectuals also came back with a gossip, and they were very excited.

They have already ground their grain into all kinds of powder, but they have not ground all of them, but have picked and picked them and ground them for more than ten catties.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you go to your home in a large courtyard in the middle of the village, you can exchange for boxes, cabinets, basins, and barrels...... In half an hour, the meal will be served! ”

Ye Xia Zhi put the cornmeal, sorghum flour and bean flour into the new enamel basin, mixed it with some water, moistened it, and stirred it carefully with chopsticks.

After seeing that there were no ash lumps inside, he poured the paste into the boiling water along the edge of the pot.

Then stir it quickly with a spoon, and soon the cornmeal batter solidifies into a porridge shape.

When it was time to start the pot, Ye Xia Zhi sprinkled a handful of chopped sprouts and a handful of chopped green onions inside, which was fragrant!

"Scoop a scoop of water and ......"

Ye Xiazhi beckoned Liu Caixia to scoop water, but he began to use a big spoon to add cornmeal batter to the container prepared by each educated youth.

Maybe I didn't grasp the dosage well, tonight's mushy porridge was a little thick, and finally the embers in the pot baked the mush at the bottom of the pot into gaba.

Ye Xia Zhi also shoveled it out, and asked Liu Caixia to pour water into the pot.

"Wash the pot, boil the pot with hot water for a while, everyone, wash your face, wash your feet, and scrub it."

Ye Xia Zhi brought out the cucumbers pickled in salt, sprinkled some chili noodles, and finally put some chopped green onions to make a simple cold salad with rice.

Liu Caixia swallowed her saliva hard, this is really fragrant!

"Liu Zhiqing, why don't you buy a box and come back to load food?"

"I ......"

"You've got to think about it...... It depends on whether you are willing to spend a few pounds of grain to come back in a box, or whether you are willing to be quietly taken away from time to time. ”

Ye Xia Zhi didn't want to lend money to others, so he said it casually.

Zhou Ying threw the firewood she picked up to the place where the firewood was placed, and heard the second half of Ye Xiazhi's words.

"The surname is Ye, who are you talking about when Sang scolds Huai!"

"It's strange, I've seen someone pick up gold and silver, and I've never seen anyone rush to pick up and scold. I didn't mean that Sang scolded Huaishui, I was generous and reminded Liu Zhiqing.

Why, I'm not convinced! Want to fight? ”

Ye Xia Zhi threw the spoon aside and glared at Zhou Ying angrily.

Ye Xia Zhi has not lacked food since he was a child, and his nutrition can keep up.

So although she is only seventeen years old, she is not short at all, on the other hand, Zhou Ying's height is not shorter than Ye Xiazhi, but she is too thin.

If she was in Rongcheng, she would be ridiculed for calling her dry shrimp or hemp stick.

"I ......"

Zhou Ying lost in momentum.

Because I doubt that Ye Xia Zhi will beat himself into the pot with a fist.

"I ...... Didn't say anything. ”

"It's better not to say anything, otherwise I'll unload some people's arms and legs, let's speak with strength."

Ye Xia Zhi was too lazy to go online.

Anyway, so far, I haven't suffered a loss, so I haven't taken it to heart.
