Chapter 60 Ideas for Improving Living Conditions
"I'll see if the chicken is stewed."
Su Ge's face flushed, and he made an excuse to go to the kitchen.
The chicken was already simmered and soft, so Su Ge poked it with his chopsticks, then poured the soaked vermicelli into the pot, and when the noodles were cooked, he sprinkled the chopped coriander and green onion into it.
A delicious pot of chicken stewed vermicelli is ready.
Su Ge's craftsmanship is not as good as Du Qiumei's, but the better thing is that the ingredients are good, just make it simply, and the chicken tastes very good.
Through the lid of the pot, Su Ge smelled the rich aroma of chicken.
Sheng Rui and Sheng Jia played with the children in the compound for an afternoon, and when they came back, they were both sweating profusely, and as soon as they entered the house, they picked up the enamel jar and poured a stomach full of water.
Having drunk their fill of water, the two children sniffed and at the same time smelled the fragrant smell coming from the kitchen.
"What did Auntie do? It smells so good! ”
Sheng Jia said to her brother.
Sheng Rui sucked it twice, the smell was so fragrant, his already hungry stomach gurgled out.
Su Ge heard the movement and came out of the kitchen, just when he heard the sound, he couldn't help laughing.
"Go wash your hands, there's chicken stew and vermicelli to eat tonight."
Hearing that there was chicken to eat, Sheng Rui and Sheng Jia cheered, and their eyes lit up with excitement.
When the children went to wash their hands, Sheng Qihui came over and said to Su Ge: "Bring a bowl of chicken to the first uncle's house, the first uncle and the first aunt usually take care of us, and they also think about what is delicious, and also send them a bowl of beating teeth." ”
"Okay, I'll take a bowl out and let Xiao Rui send it over."
When Sheng Rui came back after washing his hands, he was assigned to deliver chicken.
In order to prevent other people in the compound from seeing the chicken in the bowl, Su Ge deliberately took a plate and covered the bowl to cover the fragrance of the nose.
Ten minutes later, Sheng Rui came back from an uncle's house, the chicken in the bowl was gone, and an extra bowl of chestnut soup came out.
The chestnut soup was freshly made by an aunt, and it was still steaming.
It just so happened that when Sheng Rui went over to deliver chicken, the chestnut soup had just come out of the pot, and an uncle and an aunt were not good enough to accept such a good thing from others, so they hurriedly sent a bowl of chestnut soup as a gift.
"They're too polite, too."
Su Ge looked at the bowl full of chestnut soup and sighed.
"Today we have a mouthful, a big aunt makes chestnut soup is a must, it tastes better when it is hot."
Sheng Qihui said.
So this night, a family of four sat around the table and ate a pot of chicken stewed vermicelli and a bowl of chestnut soup.
At noon, Sheng Qihui and Su Ge ate a lot of vegetables under Du Qiumei's constant greetings, and they were not hungry at night, neither of them ate much.
Almost all of the chicken stewed vermicelli were eaten by Sheng Rui and Sheng Jia, especially Sheng Rui, when the half-sized child could eat it, he sighed and snorted for a bowl, and then served a second bowl.
The bowl of chestnut soup, Su Ge and Sheng Qihui shared half a bowl, and the rest was given to the two children.
Sheng Qihui is really right, an aunt is indeed a must when making chestnut soup, the entrance is sweet and soft, rich chestnut flavor, the sweetness is appropriate, and it is so delicious.
After eating one spoonful, it makes people want to eat another spoonful.
Seeing that Su Ge liked to eat, Sheng Qihui poured the small half bowl that he hadn't touched much into her bowl.
"Give it to me, you can eat it too."
Sheng Qihui smiled, "I used to eat a lot, if you like to eat, eat more." ”
The words fell, and Sheng Qihui's gaze stopped at a point on the corner of Su Ge's lips.
There was a small piece of hazel chestnut soup there, Sheng Qihui couldn't help it, reached over and pressed it on the corner of her lips, erasing the chestnut soup.
"Glued a little, wipe it off for you."
He is calm and breezy on the surface, but in fact his heart is beating fast.
The touch of the corners of Su Ge's lips reminded him of the beautiful kiss in the afternoon.
Somewhere is about to move again, Sheng Qihui opened his eyes, and said to it in his heart, you can't do it, what are you excited about every day.
You're idle, aren't you?
The happiest people at this meal were Sheng Rui and Sheng Jia, and the two children both had round bellies and were satisfied.
After eating, Sheng Rui helped clean up the table and washed the dishes, and Sheng Jia went to help his brother.
Su Ge wanted to stop them, but Sheng Qihui didn't let them.
"If they want to go, let them go, we don't raise idlers. Within the scope of his ability, let them do some work, otherwise they will be pampered. ”
Su Ge thought about it, Sheng Qihui was also reasonable.
In these years, the children are precocious.
In the countryside, 10-year-old children have gone to work in the fields, and children in the city can help the adults in the family to take care of their younger siblings, help with cooking and laundry.
It's that she herself is always looking at today's children with the concept of later generations, and she always thinks that they are still young.
In fact, Sheng Rui was able to cook the family's meals before she came.
However, the small appearance of the children eating contentedly tonight touched Su Ge a lot.
Lying in bed at night, she didn't sleep for half a day, thinking about whether to go to the black market to have a look.
Although the turbulent years have not passed, there is also a black market at this time, but the current black market is more hidden and more dangerous.
Su Ge thought that it would be good if he could sell some space goods, exchange them for rice, white flour, meat, etc., on the black market, and replenish some oil and water for the children from time to time.
But after thinking about it, she always felt that the risk was too great.
There is less than half a year, and the turbulent years are coming to an end, if I go to the black market at this time and am caught, I always feel that I have the feeling of joining the country/army in forty-nine years.
Why don't you go the other way and make a little money first.
The other way that Su Ge thought of was reminded by Du Qiumei at noon.
At lunch, Du Qiumei said that the chicken was raised by a farmer, and some rural villages were far away from the emperor, and no one cared about raising chickens secretly.
Su Ge thought that this was a good way to make money.
Her space has fabrics, daily necessities, and snacks that can be exchanged for food and poultry in the countryside.
Especially for fabrics and daily necessities, because the countryside earns a share of work, at the end of the year, money will be distributed according to work, but there is only money and no tickets, so it is difficult for rural people to buy fabrics and daily necessities.
Some skilled rural women can weave homespun cloth, but the homespun cloth is far from the quality of the cloth produced by the textile mills, both in terms of color and fabric quality.
And to buy daily necessities, you can't do it without a ticket.
Therefore, Su Ge felt that his idea should be feasible.
exchanging materials for supplies, and those who are exchanged for them are eaten by themselves, even if they are really found out, they are not speculation.
Su Ge thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this method was good and could improve the living conditions of his family.
At least once in a while, you can give the children a meal of meat.
It's just that Shigong's place is too far away from the riverside, and the distant water can't save the thirst.
If you want to change things in the village, you still have to start near Binjiang City.
But she was born in the city since she was a child, and she didn't know anything about the countryside around Binjiang City.
You have to find someone familiar with it and inquire about the current situation in the countryside.
Su Ge walked around among the people he knew, and quickly found the most suitable candidate.
Su Zhisheng's youngest sister, her sister-in-law.
