Chapter 14: The Pork Feast

The main reason is that a person only has three taels of oil tickets a month, which is not enough to eat, so in order to ensure that there is oil and water for stir-frying at home, it is necessary to buy pig fat and consume oil, and the remaining 'oil shuttle' can be used for stir-frying.

But for Duan Yun, it is obvious that lean pork ribs are his favorite.

In addition, the price of foreign meat is also cheap, which makes Duan Yun smack: the grade meat costs nine cents a catty, and the small chops of foreign meat only cost five cents and four pounds!

Without saying a word, Duan Yun directly bought two catties of lean meat.

In fact, Duan Yun still wants to buy more meat, but there is no refrigerator these days, and there is nowhere to put it when he buys it, so sometimes he can only eat and buy it now.

Seeing that there were still a dime and a half pound of bones on the stall, Duan Yun planned to buy stewed soup to drink, but was told by the stall owner that buying bones must have a certificate issued by an orthopedic surgeon from a local hospital, and this thing is a nutritious dish like pork liver, so in desperation, Duan Yun had to give up.

Coming out of the butcher shop, Duan Yun went to the shop next to him and bought some spices such as Sichuan pepper star anise and cinnamon for stewed meat.

Duan Yun plans to improve his life by himself at night.

Although Duan Yun in his previous life has always been rough in life, he is a little particular about food.

The lack of meat on the dinner table a few days after his rebirth has already made him feel a little broken, so now that he is rich, he must replenish some oil and water for himself and his family.

After shopping, Duan Yun returned home.

In fact, Duan Yun originally wanted to make a meal of braised pork, but he couldn't buy that kind of pork belly with belt fat without a meat ticket, so he had to retreat and make some ordinary meat dishes.

But when Duan Yun took the whole two catties of meat to the water room to wash the blood foam, it still surprised the seven or eight neighbors who had already come home from work and started cooking.

You must know that in the past, the mother and daughter of the Duan family basically rarely cooked meat, and they didn't even see each other once a month.

The old ladies in the neighborhood also like to compare with each other, who eats fish today and who eats meat tomorrow, but in any case, they can always find some superiority from the food of the Duan family......

And today, Duan Yun is going to start to reverse the consistent contempt of his neighbors for his family.

"Buying so much meat, is it too much for the Duan family?"

"It's such a loser, all the lean meat bought, this kid of the Duan family is really a fool!"

"It's only been less than half a month since I entered the factory, and the salary hasn't been opened yet, so it's starting to be squealing......"

......

Several old ladies who were washing vegetables together were talking softly with their backs to Duan Yun, their faces full of disdain and disdain.

It is said that the people in the 80s were simple, but Duan Yun's family was a little 'unlucky', and the surrounding were some 'superb' neighbors.

Duan Yun didn't hear the discussion behind these people, but even if he did, he shouldn't be the same.

The whole two catties of meat were all cut into slices, and then completely ignored the poor meat oil at home, and made all the meat slices into semi-finished products.

Of course, it is impossible for Duan Yun's family of three to eat more than two catties of meat in one meal, and semi-finished products are easy to preserve.

In fact, it didn't use much oil, although the meat Duan Yun bought was lean meat, there was still some fat on it, so it was not enough for Duan Yun to consume all the 'family money' in one meal.

"Brother, you're crazy......"

My sister, who had just come home from school, was stunned in surprise when she saw the whole half pot of meat slices that Duan Yun had just made.

Although Duan Fang had told his brother before that he wanted to eat meat, he also knew that he had a little spare money on hand now, so he originally thought that his brother would buy two or three taels of meat to open meat, but he didn't expect him to buy so much at one time.

"Just in time, help me wash the dishes. Duan Yun said after glancing back at his sister.

"When did you learn to cook?" Duan Fang saw his brother cook for the first time, and then said, "You won't go to the countryside to learn again, right?"

"You know, you still ask!?"

"Brother, you bought too much meat, the weather is hot, and you can't leave it for long. Duan Fang said with a frown.

"If it doesn't last long, then let's eat more in the evening. Duan Yun pursed his lips when he heard this, and then said: "You see that you are thin now, it is the time to grow your body, if you are too short, you can't get married!"

"Worry about it!" Duan Fang's face turned red when she heard this, and she raised her small fist angrily and gently hammered her brother's back.

But the next moment, Duan Fang hooked a smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and went home to help his brother wash vegetables.

In his previous life, although Duan Yun was 'raised' by his girlfriend Xiao Luo most of the time, he rarely went to the kitchen by himself, but occasionally when his girlfriend worked overtime, Duan Yun would cook by himself.

Duan Yun's cooking skills are not as good as his girlfriend Xiao Luo in his previous life, but his level is actually better than that of ordinary people.

Green onions, ginger and garlic boiling pot, Duan Yun turned the fire to the maximum, and the billowing oil smoke instantly rose in the corridor.

Okra stir-fried meat, green pepper stir-fried meat, mustard shredded pork, oily pork...... Almost all meat dishes.

The aroma of meat and vegetables in the corridor almost made the children in the entire corridor cry, and the children of two families cried and shouted to eat meat after seeing Duan Yun making meat, and the scene once seemed very funny.

And when his mother got home from work, the Duan Yun brothers and sisters had already prepared a whole table of sumptuous dishes.

"This is ......" Duan Yun's mother, Gao Xiuzhi, immediately frowned after seeing the sumptuous dishes on the table.

"Mom, sit down and eat. Duan Yun said with a smile.

"What's going on with this meal?" Gao Xiuzhi has always been diligent and thrifty, even during the New Year's holidays, the dinner table at home has never been so rich.

And so many meat dishes cost a lot of money and oil, which is too luxurious for Gao Xiuzhi, who has always been eager to break a penny in half!

"Mom, brother is starting to make a lot of money now. At this time, Fang very obediently served her mother a bowl of steaming rice, and said with a smile.

"Isn't your brother just half a month old, what kind of money can he make?" Gao Xiuzhi said with a sigh.

"Wages are wages. After Duan Yun sat down, he first sandwiched a piece of meat into his mother's bowl and said, "Mom, I have recently started a small business......

"Do business, what kind of business?" Gao Xiuzhi's face suddenly sank when she heard this.

Speculation in the past two years is a felony, although by 82 the state has allowed the existence of self-employed, but in fact, many of the relevant policies at that time were in a stage of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and the attitude towards small traders and self-employed people in various places is also ambiguous, but in the city of Daxing, it has always been the target of the public security.

In addition, the reputation of self-employed small traders is not very good, and even many people scare children who don't work hard and often say: "If you don't study hard, let you practice on the street and become self-employed!"

There is also a popular saying: "If the big girl wants to experience life and practice shouting, hurry up and marry a self-employed person!"

The small business in the Red Star Gear Factory is basically some unemployed young people who have been released from prison or in the society, and they are usually treated with the white eyes and contempt of the factory workers, and the workers of state-owned enterprises have a natural sense of superiority over this kind of small traders, but they do not know that these small traders may earn more than they make a month.

Gao Xiuzhi knew that his son was not smart enough before, and it was okay to say that if he was caught by the public security as a speculator, it would definitely be a big disaster for their family!

"Mom, brother, he's in the whole electrical repair business, not speculation. Duan Fang saw her mother's concern and interjected on the side.

"Electrical repair?" Gao Xiuzhi was stunned when she heard this.

"That's the ......," Duan Fang began to talk to his mother about Duan Yun's maintenance in the past two days.

In addition, Duan Fang also told her mother about the things that the school teachers helped promote, as well as the more than 100 yuan that Duan Yun had earned in the past two days.

"Xiaoyun, do you really know how to repair electrical appliances?" Gao Xiuzhi asked in disbelief after listening to her daughter's story.

What made Gao Xiuzhi feel even more incredible was that Duan Yun had earned more than 100 yuan in just a few days, which was almost equivalent to her salary for several months!

"Mom, my brother's modified radio is good, there is no noise, and he can search for more than a dozen channels. Duan Fang said on the side.

"I went to the countryside in the past few years in the brigade to meet a radio master, the ability is to learn others, although the technology is average, but the small problems of ordinary household appliances can still be fixed. Duan Yun said with a smile.

"If you really have the ability to do this, it's a great thing, and it's really worth celebrating. Gao Xiuzhi's face finally softened at this moment.

"Let's eat, it's cold and it's going to be hot. Duan Yun motioned for dinner.

"Brother, I wish you a prosperous business, you can eat this piece of meat first. Duan Fang said, and sandwiched a piece of oily meat into Duan Yun's bowl.

"Okay, the family is still so polite when they eat. Duan Yun smiled when he saw this.

"I'm dying of hunger......" When her sister Duan Fang heard this, she couldn't resist the temptation of a table full of meat slices, and put a piece of oily meat in her mouth.

The tender slices of meat seemed to melt on the tip of his tongue, and the rich aroma instantly occupied all her taste buds, feeling a little hot, Duan Fang took a breath, and couldn't wait to put another piece in her mouth, the strong aroma of meat made her eyes glow with some tears, and there was a little more surprise and happiness in her eyes when she looked at her brother.

Duan Yun also tasted the dishes he had cooked, and he was pleasantly surprised by the deliciousness of the meat slices.

The pork of the 80s was basically farm-raised pigs, which were completely different from the feed pigs of later generations.

In addition, there was no refrigeration and freezing equipment in this era, and the pork was all freshly killed and sold, so in terms of taste and freshness, it was also better than the pork of later generations.

"Brother, it turns out that your cooking skills are so good......" Duan Fang was full of praise for his brother's cooking.

Maybe it's because she hasn't seen meat for a while, Duan Fang eats very happily, her greasy mouth is full, and she keeps pulling food into her mouth, completely lacking the reserve that a little girl should have.

The mother's face also showed a long-lost smile, and from time to time she served vegetables to the brother and sister, and the atmosphere seemed warm.

Duan Yun was also very happy to see this scene, and he was quite satisfied with this meal, and he wiped out three entire bowls of rice in one go.

After the meal, after the three of them cleaned up the table, their mother Gao Xiuzhi motioned for Duan Fang to go out, and she wanted to talk to Duan Yun about some things alone.

"Mom has something big to talk to you about. After Gao Xiuzhi saw Duan Fang leave, she took out a large suitcase from under her bed.
