Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 154 Cui Mingliang’s request
"Uncle, aunt, come in quickly. This room is the one assigned to the terminal in the slaughterhouse. It has a side room and a side room. How about it? It looks spacious, right?"

Siheyuan.

Silly Zhu took Xiang Chuanzong and Liang Honghua into Xiang Yunduan's house.

The couple entered the house and took a look. They were not too surprised. Liang Honghua even said: "It's okay, it's not too big. It's okay to live alone, but if you get married and have children in the future, this place will be a bit tense." !”

Xiang Chuanzong next to him also nodded and said: "It's a little smaller than our house in the countryside, but this electric lamp is really good. It's so bright. It's much easier to use than candles. With this electric lamp here at night, you can If you want to sew or mend, you don’t have to worry about not being able to see the eye of the needle or threading the thread!”

There are no power lines in the rural villages yet. It is said that after a while, the village chief will install a loudspeaker, and then the electricity will probably be available.

However, for rural people, the electricity bill is not cheap. Even if electricity is available, no one may be willing to install electric lights.

"Oh, I said you two can't compare the houses in the countryside. You don't even look at how tense the houses in this city are. As for the house where the terminal lives, he has a higher level. Plus You are more valued in their factory, so you can live in such a big house. Do you know how many people are envious of this house?" Seeing that the old couple did not understand the situation, Shazhu explained again.

When they heard that many families had five or six people crowded into one room, the old couple finally understood.

"Hey, pillar, what is this? A trumpet? It looks like a morning glory!"

"Oh, this thing can also sing!?"

Among other things, he took a lot of photos at the police dog training base, including Huzi, Hua Niu and the Four King Kongs. This can be regarded as a record of his work. When he gets old, he will take these photos. It must be a very beautiful thing to take out all the collected things and reminisce about youth.

Silly Zhu turned down the volume of the record, and then turned on the radio. The news was playing inside.

However, after listening to it for some time, I don’t know why, but I really fell in love with listening to the opera. The more I listened to it, the more charming it became, so that now he is almost at the level of a fan, and gradually he has his own standards of appreciation.

He also has a notebook specially used to record collection items, and sometimes writes some interesting things that happened.

"Auntie, this is called a gramophone, also called a record player. It's used to listen to music!"

Take "Empty City Strategy" as an example. He has listened to several versions by famous artists, but his favorite is the one sung by Boss Tan Xinpei Tan.

Although the Forty-Nine City TV Station (later the Zhan'er TV Station) was established last year, it is still an experimental thing until now. Apart from anything else, there are not many TVs in the entire Forty-Nine City, so , the main media are actually newspapers and radio stations.

Although the TV station basically has no programs, the program content of the radio station is relatively rich, including news, music and arts.

Liang Honghua was startled by the sound of the record player. She had never seen this thing in her half-life.

If this thing had passed a few decades, it would have been considered an antique. Of course, Xiang Yunduan just liked it, not to sell it for money in the future, but more of a record of this era.

"I stood on the city tower and looked at the mountain scenery. I heard commotion outside the city, and flags fluttering in the air, but it turned out to be soldiers sent by Sima~"

After wandering around the room for a while, Liang Honghua pointed at a brass-colored metal and said.

There are so few entertainment activities these days. Xiang Yunduan has been listening to it a lot since he bought this record player, and he has collected a lot of records, including songs, operas, dramas, storytelling, cross talk, etc.

Silly Zhu came to the cabinet. While explaining, he reached out and grabbed the crank of the gramophone and cranked it up. Then he moved the metal probe to the record and put it gently. Then the big horn that looked like a morning glory sounded. stand up.

Because of this, he also collected many other Peking Opera records by Boss Tan, as well as many stills. The most famous of them is naturally the stills of "Dingjun Mountain", which was said to be the first Chinese-produced movie.

"Uncle and aunt, look at this. This is a radio. You can listen to many radio stations!"

Most of the photos were taken by himself. After all, he had a camera and a lot of film. In addition, Tao Xiao could also help him develop the photos at the newspaper office, which was very convenient.

He collected many things unique to this era, including stamps, newspapers, photos, old objects, etc.

This album is an excerpt from the Peking Opera "The Empty City".

He also has an ambition to film a documentary or TV series for himself when he gets old, so he consciously records the more meaningful things that happen in his life.

Because he has a good relationship with Xiang Yunduan, Shazhu often comes over to listen to the radio and record player. This guy feels like he is at home at the moment and seems to be very familiar with the situation.

Seeing Xiang Chuanzong and Liang Honghua immersed in the shock of the radio and record player, Shazhu smiled, placed the lunch box originally brought to Qin Huairu, and said to the two elders: "Uncle and aunt, tonight Let's eat together. It happens to be what I brought back from the factory. I'll make some soup later... Let's take a look. There's some duck eggs here... Oh, there's also some pork. Just right. I'll show you my skills. I'm Chef, let’s make some Fujian snacks and fill them with eggs!”

This is the second time that Shazhu has been praised by Director Yang for his cooking today. He is very happy. It is estimated that it will not be long before he can go to Xiaozao. Of course, he knows that all this is inseparable from Xiang Yunduan. After all, his Many of the specialty dishes were taught by Xiang Yunduan.

In order to learn more dishes, he must find a way to serve Xiang's father and mother Xiang well. If these two elders are happy and give Xiang Yunduan a few kind words, won't they be able to learn new dishes again?
Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family have been very peaceful since Xiang Yunduan became a guard, and they have not taken any actions against Xiang Yunduan. He cannot be a "dog spy" now, so if he wants to learn new skills, he must find other ways.

Seeing Sha Zhu starting to prepare the egg soup, Xiang Chuanzong and Liang Honghua, who slowly recovered from the shock, looked at each other and saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

The eldest son seems to be doing well, which puts them at ease, and he also seems to have a good relationship with the neighbors. Judging from the behavior of this child named Zhuzi, they know that the people in this yard are very kind. Genial.

The only regret is that this house seems a bit deserted for one person to live in. It would be great if I could have a daughter-in-law!
"When I meet the boss tomorrow, I have to tell him carefully. If he can't find him in the city, he can find one from the countryside!" Liang Honghua whispered to Xiang Chuanzong.

"The egg soup is good!"

Not long after, Silly Zhu brought a large basin of soup to the table: "This soup was taught to me by Duanzi. Duanzi said that this soup also has a name, called meat, egg, onion and chicken, because it has meat and Eggs, chicken soup, and a handful of chopped green onion when it comes out of the pot. Ouch, it's so delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to make chicken soup today, so I can only make do with it. You two, try it quickly."

As Silly Zhu explained, he made a bowl for each of the two elders first, and then made some for Yu Yu, the younger sister who came back from school!
"Hmm~ It smells so delicious. This soup alone is so fragrant. I haven't used chicken soup yet. If I used chicken soup, it would be so delicious that I would bite my tongue off. It seems like you, the chef, are not lying at all!"

Xiang Chuanzong took a small taste, and his taste buds almost exploded. It was so impactful. He had never eaten anything so delicious!
"Hey hey hey~"

Silly Zhu giggled, and then began to introduce the stir-fried dishes on the table. On the other side, the hospital.

Just when Xiang Chuanzong and Liang Honghua were enjoying their meal, Xiang Yunduan just put his sister to sleep.

He was about to go out to see if he could find another stool and sleep overnight. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw a figure sneaking outside the ward.

"What are you doing... Hey, Uncle Cui, why are you here?"

Xiang Yunduan rushed out and took a look, but he didn't expect it was Cui Mingliang.

"Yunzuan, I'm here to find you. I heard Wu Changwei said that your sister is sick. I came to take a look!"

Cui Mingliang said, the two of them entered the ward together, and then put down the snacks they were carrying.

"Uncle Cui, you are so outspoken. What else do you bring with you?" Xiang Yunduan was a little surprised.

If he himself was sick and hospitalized, it would be reasonable for Cui Mingliang to come to see her. However, when his sister was sick, Cui Mingliang came to visit and bring gifts, which was a bit too much.

If you have nothing to do to show courtesy, you have to ask for help!
"It's for children... By the way, what's the disease? Is it serious?" Cui Mingliang asked.

He originally came out of the factory in the afternoon. When he heard the news that the police dog base was going to be taken away, he was very anxious and decided to try to get involved with the old leader.

Maybe I was too anxious. When I came out, I accidentally drove my car and collided with a donkey cart at an intersection. Fortunately, no serious accident happened.

However, I was still called to the police station. I was busy for a while and didn't come out until just now.

He was also afraid that Xiang Yunduan would not be in the hospital at the moment.

Xiang Yunduan guessed that Cui Mingliang might have something going on, but Cui Mingliang didn't speak, and he didn't ask too many questions.

In this way, the two chatted for a while, and Cui Mingliang asked tentatively: "Yunduan, I heard that last time you helped the steel rolling mill and the district bureau solve the case, you were very popular with Director Yuan and Director Fang. Appreciation, have they ever said that you will be transferred to work with them? "

"what?"

Xiang Yunduan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that Cui Mingliang had gotten the news. He made up his mind and said, "Director Fang really said he wanted me to work in the district bureau, but I refused. The factory is doing a great job. I have put a lot of energy into this police dog training base, and I can’t bear to leave!”

Seeing that Xiang Yunduan's expression didn't look fake, Cui Mingliang sighed and said, "Well, I'm afraid this matter is not up to you. I got news that Director Fang has reported to the city bureau and wants to transfer you." In the past, the steel rolling mill seemed to be very optimistic about you and wanted to transfer you, and now the two parties are arguing! "

"Is there still such a thing?"

Xiang Yunduan really doesn't know, but considering Fang Jinglin's performance after the commendation meeting that day, this situation is not impossible.

"It seems that my ability in training police dogs has been recognized by many people. This is a good thing for me!" Xiang Yunduan thought in his mind.

Since the city bureau has already participated, it shows that the above-mentioned people attach great importance to this matter, which is more conducive to him showing off his skills.

The reluctance to part with the slaughterhouse is true, but if you compare it with the weight of the city bureau, no matter how reluctant you are to part with it, you have to give it up. This is an excellent opportunity.

"By the way, Yun Duan, the wine you gave me last time was the health-preserving medicinal wine. Do you have any more? Get me another box!"

Seeing the change of expression on Xiang Yunduan's face, Cui Mingliang also knew about this opportunity. Xiang Yunduan naturally had no reason not to seize it. There was an order from the municipal bureau and Xiang Yunduan's own willingness to leave. In this way, Slaughter It is almost impossible for the factory to keep this police dog training base.

So he also had to make some preparations.

"Medicine?"

Xiang Yunduan quickly understood that Cui Mingliang had made great efforts last time when he was appointed to the administrative level 21 and became deputy director. He specially used white luck to strengthen a bottle of health-preserving medicinal wine and gave it to Cui Mingliang. This is probably what he was talking about.

"This...Uncle Cui, I said last time that grandpa made this medicinal wine by himself. It is a secret recipe passed down from our ancestors. Of course, I have nothing to be stingy with you, but this wine requires too many precious medicinal materials. , I only soaked a little at home, this box is really..." Xiang Yunduan said with a confused expression.

"No? How many can there be? Don't worry, I don't want it in vain!"

As Cui Mingliang said, he took out the prepared banknotes from his pocket and slapped them directly in front of Xiang Yunduan, which was a full two hundred yuan.

"Uncle Cui, put the money away quickly. What are you doing? Do you still need this for your care for me?
In this way, when my sister recovers from her illness in two days, I will go home and try to get two bottles by then! Xiang Yunduan said, patting his chest.

"Two bottles? That's okay too!"

Cui Mingliang nodded, but he did not put the money away. Instead, he stuffed it into Xiang Yunduan's hand and said, "Take this money and buy whatever medicinal materials you need to make wine. Please ask your grandpa to make some for me." Just bring it to me when it’s ready!”

Cui Mingliang is going to visit his old leader on the weekend. The old leader suffered many injuries during the war and has never been in good health. Moreover, he has an old disease that cannot be cured.

It just so happened that the medicinal wine Xiang Yunduan gave him last time, he drank it this time, and felt that the effect was very good. He himself also suffered from the ailments left over from the war years, and now he has obviously improved.

So this time, when he was going to see the old leader, he brought some of this medicinal wine to see if he could get the old leader to exercise for him.

While the police dog training base is still in the slaughterhouse, his achievements can still be seen by others, so hurry up and get moving, otherwise, when the police dog training base is gone, and after a while, nothing will happen to him.
