Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 388 Chapter 387 Stand up and kick
In order to meet the material needs of hundreds of millions or even billions of people in this large country, most of them have been groping forward on the road of variety improvement, whether it is grain, vegetables or fruits.

Tang Zhitong felt that the pineapple in front of him had not gone through this step yet, and the sour taste was very obvious.

"Sister-in-law, it's not as delicious as canned food." Fengzhi took a bite, wrinkled her face, and said to classmate Xiao Wang.

"The canned food is soaked in sugar water. This is the original flavor. It's sour and sweet. Doesn't it taste different?" Xiao Wang couldn't decide the flavor of the pineapple, so he could only coax his sister-in-law.

"You have something to eat, but you are still picky and don't eat it." These rare fruits were given by her mother-in-law. Although they are indeed a bit sour, she does not dislike them. Even if her daughter-in-law does not mind, Zhang Guifang is not willing to I'm used to Fengzhi's behavior of talking more than thinking.

"Just be satisfied. This is soaked in salt water. If it were not soaked, it would be even more sour." Tang Zhitong helped.

"How do you know it will be sour if you don't soak it?" When he was doing shuttlecock just now, classmate Xiao Wang watched his husband peeling a pineapple a few times, especially the action of inserting chopsticks. He was very skillful. If he hadn't said that he had heard of how to eat pineapple, I thought I had been in contact with it before.

"I'm a cook. From a chef's point of view, appropriate saltiness can enhance the sweetness of pineapple." What kind of enzyme does pineapple contain, which can stimulate taste buds and even cause allergies? Although this is true, there is no way to judge from someone who has never eaten it. "Pineapple" came out of someone's mouth, so Tang Zhitong had no choice but to find another way.

"Really?" Xiao Wang asked suspiciously. She had never heard of this theory.

"Is this still false? There was a Li Shishi in the Song Dynasty, did you know? She had a... friend named Zhou Yanbang, who wrote a poem. There is this sentence in it: The sword is like water, Wu Yan beats the snow, and the delicate hand breaks the new Oranges. Use scissors to cut the oranges. If they are too sour to eat, what should you do? People are so famous for eating them like this, which shows that the way to eat them is very popular. , citing scriptures.

"I've been to many places, but pineapples hadn't been introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, so of course he couldn't eat them." When was pineapple introduced to China? Tang Zhitong didn’t remember it either. He had the impression that it was the result of promoting species exchanges during the Age of Discovery.

"Brother, what is Yangmei? Is it delicious?" Fengzhi's focus is very different from that of Xiao Wang.

"Look, I'm getting goosebumps. It's getting colder and colder. It will be easier to take a bath after having a boiler." Tang Zhitong persuaded hard.

Since I promised my brother-in-law, I have to take revenge, the kind of standing up and kicking.

"Do you think we should buy a boiler?" The cold winter is coming. Faced with the ice-snow and smart classmate Xiao Wang, little tricks like boiling water in earthen stoves and substituting pillars may not be able to hide the truth, so while rubbing his back, Tang Zhitong asked .

"Have Li Bai ever eaten pineapple?" Fengzhi nodded and asked again.

"Has Li Bai ever written such a poem?" Although classmate Xiao Wang asked this, the little stars in his eyes could no longer be covered and flew out. Classmate Xiao Tang was right!

"Yangmei, it's sour. When I went to the ancient capital, they said it can be used to make bayberry soup. It's probably similar to the sour plum soup in Sijiu City." Tang Zhitong knew what bayberry was and what it tasted like. He couldn't pretend to be so. , which is very uncomfortable.

"The boiler...is too expensive...?" The cost is too high, and classmate Xiao Wang doesn't agree with it.

Friends who have bought a new variable-speed bicycle at home will have this experience. They always want to try to see how high the top speed can be. However, when the gear is pulled to the minimum and the legs are weak, they can only stand up and put the entire weight of the body on their feet. Dengzi went up to test.

"You know quite a lot." Xiao Wang wrinkled his nose and said.

"Li Bai has never eaten it. You are happier than him. Eat it quickly." Tang Zhitong fooled Fengzhi into eating two more pieces. He stopped and just tasted the taste. It was too sour and I didn't like it.

"Li Bai wrote a lot of poems. It is said that there are more than 3,000 poems. One poem a day would take more than ten years to write. This may be the only wine man in history who can make friends and travel all over the world just by writing poems. Son." Tang Zhitong's words were full of envy. Life is for this girl. In an era when travel costs are high, relying on talent to go to prostitutes for nothing is a sense of accomplishment. But Li Bai couldn't think of it and had to be an official. .

Compared with European sailors, Tang Zhitong is still very conservative. The most he would do is drag his classmate Xiao Wang into the bathroom together and rub each other's backs.

When these words reached Tang Zhitong's ears, which had been suppressed for half a month, they were no different from the horn before charging, so he naturally sped up.

"Bah! The water is almost cold. Wash it quickly." Xiao Wang pushed her husband away, rinsed briefly, packed up, and prepared to go back to the wing.

"Ahem, in fact, it was not only the Song Dynasty that people dipped fruits in salt, but also the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai wrote a poem like this: The jade plate of bayberry is set for the king, and the salt is as bright as the white snow. The host prepared a plate of bayberry for the guests, and Tell the guests to eat it with salt if it feels sour." Looking at Xiao Wang's expression, Tang Zhitong knew that he had given the wrong example, so he could only search for another one.

Well, that's how much fun it is...

"Hasn't Li Bai been to many places?" Xiao Wang asked, following Fengzhi's train of thought.

The great voyage was very difficult. The Chinese brought soybeans and the Europeans brought a flock of ewes.

Of course she knew who Li Shishi was, and she also knew her relationship with Zhou Yanbang, and her relationship with Song Huizong. In Water Margin, her relationship with the prodigal Yan Qing was also unclear. In short, she was busy with her business and the main character was a mess.

Some people did not try it for various reasons. At this time, someone may borrow or steal to complete the test.

Tang Zhitong will not steal other people's cars, nor will he lend his own car. It is better to complete his own tasks.

"Wenwen, do you know? My love for you is growing day by day." After some hard work, Tang Zhitong lay down and whispered loving words in the ear of classmate Xiao Wang.

"Me too." Xiao Wang took off the towel he was biting and replied.

"Then let us deepen and sublime our pure revolutionary friendship!"

Classmate Xiao Wang sighed silently in his heart, and put the corner of the towel in his mouth tacitly...

In this regard, Gu Yong and Liu Yue did a better job. In order to have a child, they rented a house and moved out to live in a private house. They did not have to worry about the sound of their bicycles being heard by their parents.

Tang Zhitong regretted not making the door and window glass of the wing room double-layered. That way the sound insulation effect would be better, so Xiao Wang wouldn't have to bite the towel, right?

During the sage's time, Tang Zhitong listened to classmate Xiao Wang's talk about his old family.

"They are also your relatives over there. Our mother must have her own considerations. As juniors, we can just listen." Naturally, Tang Zhitong couldn't provoke him. Since he couldn't influence Ye Zhijuan's behavior, he could only unilaterally appease classmate Xiao Wang. "Well, I just feel it's a bit much." It's up to everyone to persuade others. Xiao Wang obviously listened to her husband's words.

"My mother's salary is high. Even if she sends fifty dollars, she can still live a decent life. Besides, aren't we here? I went to Anton this time and got a lot of pine nuts." Tang Zhitong patted Xiao Wang in his arms and said He kissed her on the forehead and used physical movements to smooth over the remaining dissatisfaction she had.

"Have you released it to the unit? I didn't see you bring it back." Student Xiao Wang's attention was indeed diverted.

"Well, it's been released to the work unit. It's too eye-catching to transport it here all of a sudden. Let's take it home slowly." Tang Zhitong said, stroking Xiao Wang's black hair.

"How much did you buy in total? Is it okay to put it in your unit?" Xiao Wang asked worriedly.

"It costs 100 yuan, so it can weigh about 300 kilograms. The work unit is fine. I haven't finished the pumpkins I distributed last time." Tang Zhitong fooled classmate Xiao Wang. It must be fine, because everything is there. own space.

"Oh, that's fine. I'll send some to our mother later." Xiao Wang lay lazily in her husband's arms. He was almost falling apart just now. At this moment, he didn't want to move anywhere except his mouth.

"Yes, but not so fast. You have to bring it back to dry in the sun first, and then send it over after frying it." Ye Zhijuan asked classmate Xiao Wang to bring the money back. It is proper to send some over, but Tang Zhitong gathered the pine nuts into the space. They are all freshly harvested from the trees. Although they are edible, the hard shell on the outside is quite difficult to eat.

"Okay, let me tell our mother first." Xiao Wang has no doubts and is not in a hurry. There are still many dates at the bottom of Chunshu Alley.

"Tomorrow I will go to the work to bring some back. Today I just brought back the wild fruits and neglected the pine nuts." Tang Zhitong arranged an itinerary for himself.

"Yeah, okay. Thank you for bringing me wild fruits. I didn't touch them. It must have taken a lot of trouble, right? I like them very much." Xiao Wang raised his head and lightly touched his husband's cheek with his lips.

"As long as you like it, I'll pick it for you next time you go out." Tang Zhitong kissed his cheek again. He liked the little game between the young couple very much.

"No, I'm afraid you'll be tired. Let's go to sleep, I'm so sleepy." Classmate Xiao Wang was tired, yawned and said vaguely.

"Well, go to sleep, go to sleep." Tang Zhitong felt the attachment of classmate Xiao Wang to him, and gently patted her back, as if coaxing a child.

This night, Tang Zhitong did not pull out his arm.

The next day, Thursday, October 1959, 10, the third day of the ninth lunar month, it was a good time to meet relatives and friends.

Tang Zhitong was numb, his whole arm was numb.

"Why didn't you push me away?" Xiao Wang took a nap and recovered well. He was half complaining and half blaming himself, rubbing Tang Zhitong's arms.

"Looking at you sleeping soundly, you are reluctant to give up." Anyone who has experienced numbness knows that this process of removing numbness is very sour and refreshing. Tang Zhitong's eyes were wrinkled to the point of leaving no cracks.

"We can't do this next time." Xiao Wang lowered his strength slightly and said while rubbing.

"It's okay, I will always be your support. If you get used to it, maybe it will be fine." Tang Zhitong kept his mouth closed and endured the numbness while pouring love words into the ears of classmate Xiao Wang.

"What a fool!" Classmate Xiao Wang rubbed it a few times and then ordered: "Stretch your arms and make a fist."

"Okay!" Tang Zhitong tried to follow the instructions. He himself also knew that the fastest way to recover from this kind of soreness and numbness was to move. However, it must be a little uncomfortable at first. It was like standing up and pedaling a bicycle. The first few times were quite strenuous. , but once the vehicle speed increases, pedaling will save effort.

Tang Zhitong moved his arms, put on his clothes, washed briefly, handed over Lu Jian's money and the money for the three hundred kilograms of pine nuts mentioned last night, and returned the rest to Xiao Wang again.

"You can't be short of money." Xiao Wang took the money, took out another ten yuan and handed it back.

"It's not needed for the moment. I just paid my salary yesterday. After I gave it to our mother, I still have some left over. I won't give it to you this time." Tang Zhitong said generously.

"Okay, you can ask for it from me when you need it." Xiao Wang put the money away, opened the drawer and put it in, then took out a letter and handed it to Tang Zhitong, "I didn't even bother to read it last night. See if there's an emergency."

"I probably know who the letter is from." Out of professional habit, after receiving the letter, Tang Zhitong looked at the sender's address and postmark, and he probably knew it.

"Who?" Classmate Xiao Wang was curious, but did not come over to take a look.

"Wan Xiangyang, Brother Yang, is the guy who didn't come over on a business trip when we got married." Tang Zhitong had already opened the letter while he was talking. After glancing at the content of the letter, he knew it was Wan Xiangyang, because he mentioned that he was with Shu Qing gets married.

"Oh, him, I only heard his name, but never met him. How did you two know each other?" Xiao Wang asked curiously.

"Sheep froze to death in June. It's a long story. I came back from the construction site last year and took the post and telecommunications exam. When the results came out, I didn't see my name on the escort list. I thought I didn't pass the exam because I was Yang. Brother grabbed me and saw my name in the delivery column. If it weren't for Brother Yang, I might have missed the confirmation, and I wouldn't have met you in the heavy rain. "Tang Zhitong scanned the letter at a glance. Wan Xiangyang is married. I want to invite myself to come and sit down.

"That will help you a lot. What do I need from you?" Xiao Wang said with emotion. She was relatively clear about this kind of recruitment process. If someone is confirmed on the spot, if they are not confirmed, it will be assumed that they don't want to come.

"It just helped me a lot. Brother Yang got married. He didn't know that I asked for leave, so he wrote a letter in advance and wanted to invite me over." After finishing speaking, Tang Zhitong handed the letter to Xiao Wang, feeling filled with emotions. , Wan Xiangyang not only helped him, he didn't even dare to ask for the mortgage deed back.

"Then are you going?" Xiao Wang took the letter, read it again, and handed it back.

"Go ahead and make another appointment with Brother Yang later. Are you going?" Tang Zhitong took the letter, folded it, and put it into the envelope.

"Okay, since you invited me, I will give you a favor. But, is it appropriate for me to go?" Xiao Wang winked at her husband, looking naughty and showing the youthful demeanor of an eighteen-year-old.

"What's inappropriate about this? Didn't Brother Yang also write in the letter, let me take my lover with me." Although Tang Zhitong said so, in his heart he wished he could give himself a false pretense and take Xiao Wang with him, just in case What should I do if I get involved in the mortgage of my house?
