Chapter 247 Ma Kangri, Sha Zhu gets married!
Time passed quickly and it was early August. Cao Dongfang was on a plane to Niu Niu, of course in the "virtual world" and outsiders could not see him.
In the past few months, Cao Dongfang only went home for one or two days in the middle of the month to arrange matters at home and at Chen Xueru's home.
Go to Niu Ye to get wine, and help Ma Hua and a few others trade once a month to increase the income of the three of them!
Supplies were becoming increasingly scarce, so Cao Dongfang also sent some supplies to Uncle Guan, Uncle Xie, and Ma Hua!
It's basically canned meat and canned fruit, some eggs, not much fresh meat, because they don't have time to hunt.
These canned foods and eggs made Uncle Xie and other department-level cadres happy!
Imagine ordinary people...
In recent years, only Uncle Li's family has a worse living environment, while other families are not too bad!
Even so, problems have arisen. The country’s grain and other material production has decreased significantly!
More and more supplies are dwindling!
Even the families of the ministerial level cannot eat meat and eggs!
Can you believe it!
Basically, all kinds of supplies are out of stock, and the food ration is decreasing from the standard of 7.4 taels a day!
The country did not announce it, but Cao Dongfang knew it because——
He transported grain, salt, and soy sauce. The population of each place did not change, but these materials became less!
If a city had a total population of 300 million before, 45 million jin could feed people for 9000 days, now 45 million jin can also feed people for days.
The shortage of 1000 million kilograms of grain is not a small number. Now there is not enough food in the southwest, northwest and central regions!
This means that on the same day, everyone eats less every day, which is not enough to begin with!
Now it’s not enough!
But basically people won’t starve to death!
same--
Only by eating these grains in this way can we wait until the autumn harvest. This year's autumn harvest is relatively better than last year.
But it does not mean we will go back directly to the peak of grain production in 57!
One year!
......
The common people have to endure another year of hardship, because -
The country's external environment is getting worse and worse, and the possibility of war is getting greater and greater. There is a possibility of war on the plateau, in the north, and across the river. The Monkey Kingdom is also fighting.
No matter how ungrateful the Monkey Kingdom is in the future, we must help it. If the Eagle Sauce wins the war and the army reaches the national border, that would be a lot of fun.
It can be said bluntly that the country may be attacked from any of the four directions: east, west, south, and north.
How many troops does the country need...how much supplies does it need...
I dare not calculate!
Luckily, Asan started the fight first and was quickly defeated!
In the Monkey Kingdom, the Eagle Sauce people have also been trapped. Otherwise, with the addition of Bald Brother and the Russian Bear, the country will really suffer.
These senior officials didn’t know, they just thought these places were dangerous and there might be a war!
Even a big battle!
If we want to go to war, we may need to stockpile military rations. We are discussing this matter!
If the fighting breaks out and the scale becomes a large-scale war, the army’s current food reserves will not be enough!
If they really start stockpiling grain on a large scale, Cao Dongfang will have a way to oppose it!
This is not a difficult matter for Cao Dongfang!
Cao Dongfang still sends some supplies to Yue Shanhe's home once or twice a month, almost the same as before. There is enough food for the family, not much more!
There aren’t many that can be given to outsiders!
......
At the end of March, Ma Kangri and Sha Zhu got married on the same day, Sunday.
Everyone basically has a day off on Sunday, so they have time to attend the wedding. Although it can’t be a big one, we still have to invite a few important people!
Let’s all have some fun together and wish the bride and groom the best!
Ma Kangri hosted four tables, Sha Zhu hosted three tables, all at home. I want to hold the wedding banquet in a hotel!
Haha, do you have a meat ticket?
Ma Kangri and Sha Zhu both took some supplies from Cao Dongfang's house.
Ma Kangri took 30 kilograms of frozen fresh meat, 15 kilograms of beef, and 15 kilograms of mutton!
Four chickens, four large carps weighing four or five pounds, four plates of frozen shrimps, ten pounds of eggs, ten pounds of cooking oil and fifty pounds of flour!
We can’t let the guests eat too poorly, so we won’t serve steamed buns made of three-grain flour.
Shazhu, fifteen pounds of pork, three chickens, three big carps, no frozen shrimps, ten pounds of beef, ten pounds of mutton, five pounds of cooking oil, and thirty pounds of white flour.
All the meat is frozen fresh meat, which can be used to make at least six main dishes and steamed buns for everyone. The oil used is very good.
not to mention--
And Cao Jiajia is here!
Seeing that He Yushui was happy, she called He Yushui and Sha Zhu over, opened the cellar door, and asked Sha Zhu and He Yushui to get the cans.
“These were put out by my brother before the Chinese New Year and nobody ate them, Brother Zhuzi, take a box for your wedding!
Get another box of canned fruit, one bottle for each of us tomorrow."
Sha Zhu didn't want to take it. It was different from the ones Aunt Cao gave him. This was left by Cao Dongfang for Aunt Cao and Cao Jiajia as a spare.
Can’t take it!
Shazhu is not smart and has many shortcomings!
But before he fell into Qin Huairu's trap, Sha Zhu still had some brains and some male chauvinism!
I also know that there are some things that cannot be taken!
A fool who was not sucked blood by Qin Huairu and only had Qin Huairu in his eyes.
Know some things!
"Thank you, Jiajia. There is enough food for Brother Zhuzi's wedding, so I won't take it away. Leave it for Jiajia!" said Sha Zhu.
"Jia Jia, my silly brother has enough food for his wedding tomorrow, so I won't take any more." He Yushui also said.
"Zhu Zi, take a box like rainwater. Jia Jia and I won't eat these canned foods. They'll be just right for our wedding tomorrow.
You’re welcome! "Cao's mother also came in and said.
In the end, he took a box like a fool, feeling very grateful to Cao's mother and Cao Dongfang. The things from Cao's family alone were enough for eight dishes and one soup, all of which were pure main dishes.
Use the bacon at home to stir-fry a dish or make a vegetarian dish, and you will have ten dishes and one soup.
There were eleven dishes including soup, ten of which were meat dishes. Even the factory director’s son couldn’t make this at his wedding!
I have them all!
The head chef is Nan Yi. No matter how unsophisticated he is, he would never let Sha Zhu and He Daqing cook.
Then-
What a shame!
......
Nan Yi didn't ask for money, he just cooked a meal and went to eat! We are all neighbors, and we are all chefs in the factory!
We also did big business together!
It’s normal to attend Shazhu’s wedding!
What is the cost of preparing the banquet?
Finally, I gave one dollar each and some leftovers to the two apprentices that Nan Yi brought with him.
Sha Zhu had three tables for his wedding, half a table for people from the compound plus Sha Zhu's family, one table for the bride, and one table for He Daqing and Sha Zhu's colleagues and friends.
There weren't many people at the three tables, a total of twenty-eight people came, and there were no less firecrackers and wedding candies, but there were fewer people -
The wedding banquet was grand!
Not many people were invited from the compound, including Cao's mother, Cao Jiajia, Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, Zhao Jie and Grandma Wang. No one else was invited.
He Daqing and Sha Zhu stayed in the compound for a short time, so they didn't know or have good relationships with many people!
As for Jia Zhang and the people in the backyard, Sha Zhu only wants to say -
Go ahead and eat your shit!
There were eight people from the bride's side, including the bride's younger brother and sister and her uncle's family of four.
There were ten colleagues and friends. When they arrived, they realized that they didn’t need to pay any gift money, and they didn’t charge much. No one cared about He Daqing and Sha Zhu!
Let's just get together and have some fun, don't worry about it.
But once the dishes were cooked and put on the table, most people were dumbfounded. Among ten dishes and one soup, only one was a vegetarian dish, and it was also seasoned.
There are ten meat dishes, and I don’t believe that I can’t find a few more pieces of meat to stir-fry!
Another meat dish!
Braised pork, braised beef, mutton soup, braised pork elbow, and sweet and sour carp weigh four or five pounds.
There are three stir-fried dishes, one with bacon, and the other with chopped chicken pieces.
One steamed meat and one stew, both made from one-kilogram canned meat.
Each of them weighs two or three pounds of vegetables, so solid!
There was one stir-fried cabbage left and no one cared, only a little bit.
The other dishes and soup are enough!
No one at the table had ever eaten such delicious food before. Only Cao's mother, Cao Jiajia, and He Yushui were eating slowly.
These dishes are nothing to the Cao family. They basically don’t eat them, except for——
Sweet and sour carp!
.......
Sha Zhu's wedding was over and everyone was very satisfied, including Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.
Yi Zhonghai was satisfied with He Daqing's attitude towards him. The food was good, which was one thing, but the key was that he was invited. Yi Zhonghai understood as soon as several people sat down in the compound!
It was right to use 500 yuan to reconcile with He Daqing. There was nothing wrong between He Daqing and me now. It was not important that I still owed him yuan.
Pay one hundred yuan in two years, I can afford it!
As for Yan Bugui, he had eaten so well that he was so embarrassed. His eating manners were so ugly that half of the people at the table recognized him.
He eats as fast as he can, as if he is snatching food from the table. There are so many dishes on the table that he can’t finish them all!
I couldn’t finish it!
You, Yan Bugui, are more like him. You are a teacher after all. Your mouth is full of food, with food on your chopsticks, and your small eyes behind glasses are staring at the food on the table. That image—
What a shame!
It’s like you haven’t eaten meat in your entire life. How can you still be my teacher?
Yi Zhonghai coughed and bumped into Yan Bugui twice. When Yan Bugui saw the contemptuous looks of the people at the table, he realized that he was at Sha Zhu's wedding banquet!
Because of the way they eat!
Despised by everyone!
What a shame!
