Chapter 2: The Agricultural Machinery Factory in Yaowa Village

Why didn't you greet Zhang Feng and offer him a steamed bun, just a bowl of soup for each person, and then have the buns filled with pork cracklings, scallions, and wood ear mushrooms

As for gold, tens of thousands of yuan worth of gold is one thing, but with millions of gold in the market, believe it or not, someone will be watching you. What is hard currency? You say there is no regulation on hard currency worldwide?

After finishing his meal, he washed his own bowl, but then neglected everything else, including the pots, pans, and dishes

Zhang Feng watched He Gui squatting on the ground eating, not caring at all, with a round belly from the meal

Replace with a frying pan, put some lard in an enamel jar, wait until the lard is heated, add some ginger and garlic granules to sauté until fragrant, then add tofu and wood ear mushrooms, and stir-fry with salt

Kneading the dough requires three types of cleanliness: clean hands, clean dough, and a clean bowl

After waking up from a good sleep, I felt extremely comfortable. I went out to the public restroom for convenience and then returned to continue sleeping

He spends every day at home except for going to the bathroom, and aside from cooking, he is just eating

Then, as he rolled the dough, his technique was fluid and graceful, leaving Aunt Liu in a state of astonishment. After all, the young man was strong, and He Gui had learned to make hand-pulled noodles, knife-cut noodles, and other types of noodles for 8,000.

A pot of brown soy sauce, black wood ear mushrooms, and white tofu braise is ready.

Zhang Feng waited in the alley for three hours, trying to see if He Gui would come out for something. When he returned home at noon, he saw steaming buns.

The house is not large, only about a dozen square meters. Inside, there is a kang and a honeycomb coal stove. It is unclear what month it is now, but according to He Gui's estimation, it should be early spring

Zhang Fengshun casually handed He Gui a towel, then took He Gui to the bathhouse to wash up. After changing into a fresh set of clothes and returning to the courtyard, He Gui began to wash his own clothes, appearing somewhat foolish.

Warm congratulations to Comrade Gorbachev on his election as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union ... ... ." While kneading the dough, I listened to the broadcast

Turning around, Zhang Feng was surprised to see He Gui snoring on the kang. He then took out a book and began to read. Zhang Feng had joined the army right after graduating from middle school, and now he was taking the time to study cultural knowledge.

Upon getting up, I saw the youtiao and soy milk on the table, and without hesitation, I took a few bites

Boss, should we apply for a replacement? Zhang Feng was somewhat unable to bear it, knowing that in this era, salaries are not high, but how severe has inflation been since the reform and opening up?

Yu Jun shook his head and said, "I will first find him a place to eat"

Hearing the snoring, Zhang Feng had no choice but to sleep. This courtyard belongs to the police station, and many of the rooms are empty. However, on the roster, they are all listed as occupied, because if you do not occupy them, others will. Housing in Beijing is in high demand.

However, do not seek the limelight; remain hidden in the shadows

In the era of big data, it is quite simple to look you up

He got up and scratched his head, first going to the small kitchen to open the fire door of the honeycomb coal, then checking the ingredients, grabbing a small handful of dried black fungus and soaking it in water

He took a seat on the back of the bicycle, and then was alternately carried by two people for half an hour. Soon, he saw farmland and arrived at a place with a red brick wall, in front of a gate made of reinforced steel, where several large characters read: "Yaowa Village Agricultural Machinery Repair Factory"

The loudspeaker outside is broadcasting, and He Gui is interested in it, but cannot show it. Upon seeing a piece of old dough hanging, he prepares to make lunch

Yu Jun shook his head: "The psychiatric hospital needs to go to the hospital for examination, but there is no identity information. What should I do?"

Future generations face significant life pressures, making it difficult to find such time for rest. Zhang Feng, however, continued his studies, having already wasted a whole morning.

"The rice is cooked, didn't you say you could cook?" Zhang Feng picked up a piece of tofu and kicked the fool lying on the kang, whose legs were dangling over the edge of the kang.

Not long after having dinner, Yu Jun and Zhang Feng arrived together. Zhang Feng said to He Gui, "Come with us for a trip"

Aunt Liu saw the noodles below and left, while He Gui squatted under the eaves. The small siheyuan did not have eaves; only the larger siheyuan had them.

"A distant relative, Aunt Liu, are you off work now?" Zhang Feng pointed to his head and replied with a smile.

Zhang Feng was also at a loss for words; after sitting for a while, he got up to clean up the mess

You might estimate that you should be within the city, in your original time and space, and do not have the qualifications to be part of the Beijing drifters. However, you also know that beyond the Third Ring Road in Beijing, it is essentially farmland now, and you are unsure whether the Third Ring Road even exists.

As for stamps, the market has long been saturated. Of course, it is still possible for the new world to bring some items over here. It is now the 1980s, and the era of big data has not yet arrived.

After finishing his meal, He Gui moved a chair and found a suitable spot in the yard, leaning against the wall, and dozed off in a daze

He used to work as a car mechanic. After graduating from high school, he became an apprentice. Later, he ventured into running a restaurant, which resulted in a significant financial loss. Subsequently, he worked in a factory and eventually became a delivery driver

Why not speak up? Wait until the tofu and wood ear mushrooms have been stir-fried for a while before adding boiling water from the kettle. Once the boiling water is added, bring it to a boil again, then add diluted flour water and soy sauce

It feels somewhat foolish, just knowing to eat and sleep all day, sleep and eat. Should we send them to a mental hospital? Zhang Feng made a suggestion

Of course, there is one more point: the trading of antiques involves both the political and business sectors, forming a large syndicate. What if the antiques that are brought out happen to clash with each other?

After conducting considerable research, it has become evident that the most profitable method over time is to invest in ... Moutai

"Is this for making the noodle dish with sauce?" Aunt Liu, with a round face and a slightly plump figure, stood about 1.6 meters tall, dressed in a gray cotton work uniform

"Xiao Zhang, who is this?" A middle-aged woman, drawn by the aroma, walked in, peered at the tall He Gui, and asked.

The old dough requires a relatively long time, and it also needs alkali

The noodles were ready in no time. Zhang Feng looked at the bowl of noodles topped with shredded green onions, mixed them thoroughly, took a bite, and went to the library. The taste was indeed different

The reason for being an improper mechanic is due to skin allergies, as constant exposure to engine oil and similar substances has led to skin ulceration

Indeed, this is the only relatively safe option. Do not mention antiques; the prices of most antiques are inflated by those who launder money, not by people within the circle. From which channel did you acquire an antique valued at several tens of millions?

Once the dough is prepared, sprinkle some warm water on the surface to prevent it from forming a crust, then cover it with a lid. Next, soak the wood ear mushrooms, chop some green onions, and also finely chop half a bowl of pork lard residue.

Zhang Feng has started work. Yu Jun saw that Zhang Feng had arrived and asked, "How is it going?"

The restaurant is being run with great integrity, as others use frozen meat while they procure fresh ingredients. Take ducks as an example; fresh ducks in the market cost at least over ten yuan per jin, while in the cold storage, after removing the tongue and internal organs, the price for a white duck with its feet can drop to just a few yuan each.

Without a word throughout the night, Zhang Feng got up early in the morning to exercise, while He Gui slept until the sun shone into the courtyard, enjoying a comfort of sleep that had been absent for many days

Then begin to knead the dough, and once the dough is well-kneaded, place it in an enamel basin to rest for a while. Next, start peeling the garlic, cut the tofu into small pieces, slice the wood ear mushrooms, and also slice the green onions, setting them aside for later use.
