Chapter 35 Is this kind of life accessible to ordinary people?
And the 1960s were no different than the New World, with a wide variety of gift options.
In the 1960s, giving gifts to others was much simpler and cruder.
The high-end ones will give you "little yellow croaker", bus tickets, piano, and TV.
However, ordinary people cannot afford to give away the above things. Although Xu Weiguo now owns the Mysterious Farm, he only has less than three yuan in his hands, so naturally he cannot afford to give away these things.
Ordinary gifts are mainly crops.
Flour, eggs, peanuts, melon seeds...these are also in short supply. If you are just asking for help, giving these is enough!
The Mystery Farm is not only able to mature crops in a short period of time, but also can process these crops for secondary processing. The current premise is that the level of the farm must meet the conditions.
Now Mystery Farm has been upgraded to lv2!
Wheat is made into flour, rapeseed is pressed into oil, and Sichuan peppercorns are ground into Sichuan peppercorn powder.... There is no problem with these at all.
When Mystery Farm is upgraded again, it will be able to make peanut butter, tomato sauce, chili sauce and more things that require further processing.
If you regard these as gifts, in this era of scarce supplies, whether you are visiting relatives and friends, or asking for help, giving these is definitely a very honorable thing.
Back in the courtyard, Xu Weiguo began to be busy in the kitchen.
First, I cooked ten pounds of peanuts and fried ten pounds of melon seeds.
Soon Xu Xiaoya sat on the threshold with a bowl of peanuts and melon seeds and began to eat.
Then it’s time to make lunch....
Street Director Wang came to the courtyard with a solemn expression and went straight to the deaf old lady's room in the back room.
As soon as she went to work today, she heard that the deaf old lady had actually changed her partner. This made her very anxious. As a government five-guaranteed household, the deaf old lady must not have any problems with her life. If something goes wrong, that is
As the director of the sub-district office, she did not do a good job, not to mention that the deaf old lady was an elderly person who had been personally instructed by the senior leaders to take good care of her, so she did not dare to neglect her in the slightest.
"Xiao Wang, what happened to you today?"
The deaf old lady was sitting outside the house basking in the sun when she saw Director Wang from the street office walking over and asked with a smile.
"Old lady, I just came to see you."
Director Wang, who was familiar with the road, sat next to the deaf old lady.
"Look at me? I think you came here after hearing some news, right?" The deaf old lady could see Director Wang's purpose at a glance, but this time she was not angry, but said with a smile: "You came just in time.
, Old lady, I just have something to ask you."
"Did you say it first? Or did the old woman say it first?"
Hearing this, Director Wang was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course you should say it first if you have something to say, and I will talk about it after you finish."
The deaf old lady nodded and said, "This time I have something to ask you, the director."
"Old lady, please don't ever use the word beg, I can't bear it!" Director Wang said quickly.
Director Wang was very surprised because this deaf old lady had lived in the courtyard for so long, and this was the first time she had asked her for help!
"If you have anything to do, just say it. If I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"
"This sounds pleasant to my ears!"
The deaf old lady nodded, and just when she opened her mouth, Xu Weiguo came over with Xu Xiaoya in his arms.
The deaf old lady pointed at Xu Weiguo and said with a smile: "What I ask of you is very simple, that is, find a job for this kid."
Director Wang was even more surprised. She never expected that the first time the deaf old lady asked her for help, it was to find a job for a fool. This...
Xu Weiguo also saw Director Wang next to the deaf old lady, and he also heard what the deaf old lady said to Director Wang.
"Xiaoya, this is Grandma Wang, call someone quickly!"
Xu Weiguo said to Xu Xiaoya in his arms.
Xu Xiaoya shouted in a sweet voice: "Hello, Grandma Wang!"
"Hey!" Director Wang was about the same age as the third uncle. When he saw the cute and well-behaved Xu Xiaoya, he immediately smiled and said, "Xiaoya is so good, come and give me a hug!"
Xu Weiguo carefully handed Xu Xiaoya to Director Wang, and then said to the deaf old lady: "Grandma, I have already prepared the meal. You and Director Wang can come with me to eat!"
When Director Wang heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "I won't go. I'll just wait until I go back to the street to set up a canteen to eat."
She is a government worker or the director of the sub-district office, so she cannot eat at the homes of residents in her jurisdiction.
The deaf old lady saw through Director Wang's thoughts and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang, don't you just come here to see if it is reliable for me to partner up with Xu Fool? If you don't see it with your own eyes, can you rest assured?"
Hearing what the deaf old lady said, Director Wang suddenly felt that she had to eat this meal. She would really not feel at ease if she didn't see how the food was with her own eyes.
"Since the old lady has spoken, I will have a meal at your house in Weiguo today, and I will give you the money for the meal then!"
Director Wang nodded and said.
The group returned to the penthouse.
Hot meals are placed on a square wooden table.
Cold cucumber.
Tomato and egg soup.
Fried potato slices.
Chicken soup.
White rice and white flour steamed buns!
Although there are only two dishes and two soups, the portions are sufficient. Even with Director Wang, it is enough for the four of them.
Xu Weiguo said with a smile: "Grandma, Director Wang, the meal prepared today is a little simpler, just two dishes and two soups, you two can make it together."
The first time I saw the food on the table.
Director Wang stood stunned on the spot.
The deaf old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over!
"Xu Weiguo...Fool Xu, you are such a prodigal! Do you have food like this?"
"Including Xiaoya, there are only four of us in total. How can we eat so much?"
Xu Weiguo was very aggrieved. He was worried about being scolded by the deaf old lady, so he didn't dare to cook too much. He didn't expect that even if it was streamlined like this, he still couldn't escape the fate of being scolded.
"My good grandma, look at this, it's such a simple meal. Except for the chicken soup that I didn't finish yesterday and there is some meat in it, there is no meat in it! They are all vegetarian!"
"And don't look too much, there is just enough for the four of us!"
Facing Xu Weiguo's defense, the deaf old lady gave him a blank look.
Nonsense!
She used to have dinner with Grandpa Yi Zhongtian's family. Her lunch consisted of radishes, cabbage and some pickles, and her staple food was usually sweet potatoes and steamed buns.
Rice and white flour steamed buns are only eaten during the holidays.
But here in Xu Weiguo, rice and white flour steamed buns have become the easiest meals to make do with.
The deaf old lady had already eaten three meals at Xu Weiguo's place, including the lunch one. Yesterday it was chicken soup, steamed fish, shredded potatoes, and tomato scrambled eggs. Today it was white flour steamed buns, rice, and two vegetables and two soups. Even in the morning, it was
