Siheyuan: a hole in the sky

Chapter 6 Fragrance
"Huairu, did something happen just now?" The first mother asked when she heard the voice and went out.

"It's not a big deal." Qin Huairu shook his head, indicating that there was nothing wrong.

"No, I just heard Jianguo's voice. He's back?" The first mother looked around, but didn't find Zhou Jianguo.

"Why, Big Mom, you have something to do with Jianguo?" Qin Huairu looked curious.

"Yu Lin told the old lady that Jianguo's health was much better before, and he wanted to treat him tonight, so the old lady really wanted to see if it was true. No, tell me to find Jianguo." The aunt replied.

"Auntie, Jianguo's health is indeed much better. His face looks rosy and he speaks with strength. I believe he is better." Qin Huairu introduced Zhou Jianguo's current complexion.

"That's good, that's good, Jianguo is also a poor child!" The first mother said with a smile.

The first mother is a good person, she is very kind to others, and because of her inability to have children, she is very concerned about the children in the hospital. For example, Zhou Jianguo, whether he was a child or now, is still often taken care of by her.

Such as washing clothes, cooking, and helping to boil medicine (60s are all traditional Chinese medicine), etc., these things are often done by Da Ma.

In the past, when Zhou Jianguo's parents went out to work, the first mother often took care of him. It can be said that the first mother has regarded Zhou Jianguo as her own child, so she is very concerned about Zhou Jianguo's health.

"Big Mom, Huai Ru, are you all here, have you had lunch yet?" Second Mom also walked out, ready to come over to join in the fun.

"No, I just came back." Qin Huairu waved the two lunch boxes in his hand.

"Oops, I'm still lighting the fire. Let's not talk about it. I have to go back, otherwise the pot will be burned dry." The big mother hurried back.

"Huairu, what did you say to Zhou Jianguo just now?" The second aunt stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Qin Huairu said perfunctorily, but seeing the disbelieving expression on the second aunt's face, she could only continue to explain: "Just now Zhou Jianguo brought back a fish that weighed four or five catties. I didn't think he was young. I don’t know how to kill or burn fish, so I want to help him.”

"He has a heart disease and is very weak. Killing fish is very tiring, and cooking is not easy, so I originally thought of helping him with it. In this way, he can save some energy. It’s also good for your body, but I didn’t expect someone to reject it directly, hey.”

The second aunt believed it this time. She didn't hear it completely before, but she still heard some corners.

"It's Huairu who has a kind heart." The second aunt praised Qin Huairu, then looked at the backyard, and said, "This Zhou Jianguo really doesn't know good people today."

The words of "I" the second aunt almost broke Zhou Jianguo's defense. He had left before, but his mental power remained where he was.

"No, I just don't want Qin Huairu to help, why don't I know good people." Zhou Jianguo was anxious.

"This Qin Huairu is not only a vampire, but also an actor. She has the same appearance in front of the person and the same appearance in the back of the person. She is really skilled." Zhou Jianguo also had to admire Qin Huairu's acting skills.

When he was talking to himself just now, he looked one way, but now when he was talking to Da Ma, he looked another way. Zhou Jianguo could only say one word in his heart.

"It's no wonder that Qin Huairu can hold He Yuzhu to death. This acting skill alone is extraordinary. It seems that I underestimated this Qin Huairu before. However, you, Qin Huairu, can suck He Yuzhu or other people's blood. , as long as you don't provoke me, I don't care, but if you provoke me, hehe, then don't blame me for doing the tricks, Jia Zhang in the morning is the best example."

Zhou Jianguo smiled coldly in his heart. He was not the previous Zhou Jianguo. The previous Zhou Jianguo did not dare to resist some things because of his illness. Now that he is healed, he has the ability to deal with anyone who provokes him.

It doesn't matter whether this person is Qin Huairu or someone else, it's the same!
It was already [-]:[-], it was getting late, Zhou Jianguo started cooking lunch when he got home.

The home he lives in now has two and a half rooms, two of which are bedrooms, one is [-] square meters, and the other is [-] square meters. It's the kitchen and storage.

As for the toilet and the place to take a shower, hehe. This is the 60s, or a courtyard house. Where did the toilet and bathroom come from?

Even thirty years later, in the 90s, there were very few modern toilets and washrooms in courtyard houses.

In the 60s, if you want to go to the toilet, you can do it casually in the countryside. If you are in the city, you have to go to the public toilet outside. For example, you have to queue in the morning when there are many people.
Just think about it, when you get up early in the morning, when you come to the toilet, you will see dozens of people queuing up to go to the toilet, and the most terrible thing is that there is a hot smell coming from it.
Ugh, Zhou Jianguo can't imagine it, it's disgusting, it's disgusting.

Therefore, in order to prevent this disgusting thing from happening, Zhou Jianguo decided to build a toilet as soon as possible.

After entering the kitchen, Zhou Jianguo took a look and found that the area here was not small, about seventeen or eighteen square meters, so he had an idea in his heart.

"The space here is large enough to separate a kitchen and a bathroom." Zhou Jianguo quickly decided to renovate the kitchen.

He is used to modern life, but now he has to go to the toilet, queue up in public places outside, take a bath and wash himself with boiling water. Zhou Jianguo really can't adapt to it, or he doesn't want to adapt to it.

If he came to the 60s without a golden finger, Zhou Jianguo had no choice but to adapt, but now that he has a golden finger, he naturally wants to live better because he has the conditions and ability.

Everything else was fine and easy to get right, but toilet flushing was a big problem.

Someone here said, use a flush toilet.

Yes, you can indeed use a flush toilet, but don't forget, it's 60s now.

There are no modern flush toilets in this era. Even in foreign countries, flush toilets were only promoted in the late 60s and early 80s. The time when they really became popular was after the early [-]s.

When it comes to us, modern flush toilets were only used in some luxury hotels in Kyoto in the mid-80s. As for the promotion to ordinary people’s homes, it is already after the new century, and it is a full forty years since the 60s.

(In fact, even now, in many cities in the Northwest, there are still a lot of squat stools. People don’t believe that you can check it casually. As long as it is an old-fashioned floor with seven or eight floors, most of the toilets still use squat stools.)
Therefore, if Zhou Jianguo wanted a modern flush toilet, it would be very difficult.

"It seems that if you want to flush the toilet, you have to try to make one yourself. If it really doesn't work, you have to use the squatting urinal." Zhou Jianguo thought helplessly.

Coming to the kitchen, Zhou Jianguo was ready to make lunch.

Zhou Jianguo originally decided to cook boiled fish. Such a large grass carp is the most suitable for boiled fish, but when he came to the kitchen, he realized that the most critical thing was missing, which was oil.

It takes a lot of oil to make boiled fish, but now in the kitchen, there is only very little oil, and it is impossible to cook boiled fish at all.

In the 60s, there was a shortage of all materials, especially oil and other materials.

At that time, a person's oil for a month was only three or five taels, not even enough for cooking.

Just like now, the oil bottle in front of Zhou Jianguo only has one or two taels of base oil in it. With such a little oil, how to cook fish.

"There is nothing in this house. It seems that I have to go to the black market tonight, otherwise, even food will be a problem." Zhou Jianguo shook his head helplessly, the reality forced him to decide to go to the black market at night .

"With so little oil, it seems that it can only be used for pan-fried fish."

Zhou Jianguo picked up the grass carp on one side and took it into the cave world.

"Scrape the scales, remove the internal organs!"

Following his order, an invisible force surrounded the grass carp, and then scraped the scales, disemboweled, gutted, and cut into sections. In just two seconds, a clean grass carp was picked up.

"Hey, it's convenient to have a cave world!" Seeing the cleaned grass carp in front of him, Zhou Jianguo smiled smugly.

"Start cooking the fish!"

Zhou Jianguo picked up the pot and lit the fire.

"Earth stove, I haven't used it for a long time!" Looking at the earthen stove in front of him, Zhou Jianguo had a trace of nostalgia on his face.

This kind of earthen stove was used in the orphanage when I was a child, and he and some other children often burned it at that time, so after seeing this earthen stove now, I really miss it in my heart.

"Wipe!" With a sound, Zhou Jianguo struck a match and ignited the thatch. Soon, the fire started.

"Zi la la!!"

The fish pieces are put into the pan, and under the stimulation of hot oil, the aroma of the fish pieces quickly dissipates.

I don't know if it's because he puts a lot of oil, or because his fish are bred with life spirit liquid. After cooking the pot, good guy, the entire courtyard, not only the back yard, but also the middle and front yards, are full of fish. The smell of fried fish.

What's more terrible is that this fragrance seems to be poisonous, and it crazily attracts the minds of everyone in the courtyard.

"This fish smells so good, it must be fried fish!" Qin Huairu looked towards the backyard, and began to saliva involuntarily.

Smelling the smell of fried fish coming from outside, Qin Huairu didn't even have much appetite for the fried cabbage with oil residue in front of him.

It's not just her, Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, Jia Zhang and others stopped their chopsticks now, and they didn't even look at the fried cabbage with oily residue in front of them. Their noses kept wriggling, smelling the smell of fish coming from outside.
