Hahahaha, this is definitely the most miserable anchor in history, no doubt about it. The guy in the primeval forest next door is now eating meat.

I searched 1960 on Baidu. Take care, host.

The corn buns look delicious, I really want to eat them!

I feel like this pork belly will be delicious.

Su Ye stared at the pork belly for a moment, then looked at the live broadcast room that appeared out of nowhere in his mind and accepted this fact.

It was already worn, so Su Ye could accept a live broadcast room popping up. Su Ye quickly decided on the fate of this piece of pork belly.

Thank you for the meat!

Su Ye took a quick look and found that simple kitchen items such as soy sauce and salt were available at home. They were used as seasonings for rice when there was no food to eat.

Fortunately, the pork belly can produce oil by itself, so no oil is needed. Otherwise, Su Ye really couldn't afford to buy oil. Although urban workers are supplied with two taels of oil per household per month, when Su Ye went to the supply and marketing cooperative today, the oil was sold out.

The only problem is that there is no knife at home.

Su Ye had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the neighbor grandma downstairs to borrow a knife again.

The neighbor's grandmother's family was well off, and they had a precious item like a knife. However, the knife had not been used for a long time and was too blunt to cut meat. Su Ye took the knife and went out to the yard to pick up a stone and sharpened it for half an hour.

Su Ye started cutting the pork carefully. The fat and lean pork belly was so delicious that Su Ye kept swallowing his saliva while cutting.

Snow-white and delicate fat and pink lean meat alternate with each other. The fat part next to the pig skin is about an inch thick, a very thick oil slab.

It is even fatter than the pork belly that is regarded as "gold" by the master chef in the supply and marketing cooperative today. Su Ye can use it to fry a lot of lard.

The pork had just been put into the pot and before it was stir-fried, a male neighbor with a keen sense of smell immediately poked his head out and shouted, "It smells so good, who's frying pork?"

His wife immediately closed the window, cursing, "Why open the window so wide? It's freezing cold. Are you possessed? Who can afford to fry pork in this non-holiday season?"

This nose is as sharp as a dog's.

Su Ye coughed lightly and tightened the window a little. Now she could no longer consider the problem of oil smoke. It was still unclear whether she could cook a second meal of meat in this house in the short term.

Su Ye is used to extract a little oil from the pork belly, and then soy sauce, ginger slices, cooking wine and salt are added to the pan and stir-fried with the meat to bring out the aroma.

The ceramic pot was filled with water and the pork belly was slowly stewed. Su Ye washed his hands, walked to the bookshelf, and took out a copy of "Marx" to read.

Yesterday, Su Ye only ate one black steamed bun all day, and the rest of the time he relied on these spiritual "spiritual food" to resist hunger. It's a pity that Su Ye's spiritual world is full, but his stomach is still hungry.

Now that Su Ye had a pound of pork belly, he was truly singing the song of a liberated serf.

The pork belly was stewing well in the pot, the water in the pot was boiling, and I was holding the yellowed old book in my hands, and the satisfaction in my heart reached its peak.

The aroma of stewed meat slowly overflowed from the pot. Su Ye was so excited that she even forgot the grievance of not being able to eat meat yesterday.

How can the burnt meat in the cafeteria be as delicious as the fresh and filling pork belly you make yourself

An hour later, Su Ye opened the lid of the pot. The sauce in the pot had become thick and was bubbling with bright red bubbles. The snow-white fat was a sticky yellow-brown color. When poked with chopsticks, the meat was so soft that it was rotten and oozing with golden oil.

This beautiful picture is enough to make hungry people willing to sacrifice their souls for this pot of meat.

High-end ingredients are often cooked in the simplest and plainest way. They don’t require any fancy ingredients; braised pork is enough to make a delicious stew.

Su Ye picked up a piece and tasted it. The braised pork was stewed very soft and tender, the fat was tender but not greasy, the meat was soft and delicious, and melted in the mouth.

The pleasant taste spread from the taste buds to the brain and every cell in the body. Su Ye was so moved by the delicious braised pork that she shed tears.

That's beautiful. Thank you.

Su Ye ate half of the pork belly and put the remaining half by the window to freeze for tomorrow's consumption.

Ding—Complete a dish of braised pork, reward 5g pork

The live broadcast room was suddenly filled with barrages of comments: Hahahahahahaha, only 5g, the anchor is so miserable.

Maybe it’s because this era is too far away from now, and the exchange of materials in the live broadcast room is limited. I feel sorry for the anchor for a second.

If I were suddenly thrown into this ancient era, I would be miserable without meat to eat.

The anchor's braised pork smells really good. The aroma wafts through the screen, slurping.

It turns out that there are rewards in this live broadcast room, and hope suddenly lit up in Su Ye’s eyes.

No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still pork. Su Ye clenched her fist. She believed that one day she would be able to collect a pound of pork.

On the other side, there’s Mr. Li’s house next door.

The man who hadn't tasted meat for two months paced back and forth in the house. He finally had a vacation at home, and the house was filled with the tempting smell of meat all afternoon. The key was that he couldn't eat it even after smelling it.

A good nap was ruined by the aroma. He even gave up his nap. No one could sleep peacefully in the presence of such delicious meat smell.

At dinner, he ate the tasteless cabbage as if he were chewing grass.

"It clearly smells like meat. If you smell it carefully, you can still smell it!" he said.

"What's with your nose? How can you smell it even though the cafeteria is so far away?" Li Maogang's wife was not very happy. She suspected that her husband was not happy with her secretly cooking at home.

He didn't even think about the fact that eating in the canteen for every meal would not be enough. Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to buy food and vegetables from the grain and oil store of the supply and marketing cooperative

She picked up a piece of potato for him and said, "You just want meat so badly. Save some money next month. When you have enough meat coupons by the New Year, we can enjoy a big meal of meat."

The other side.

When Su Ye returned the coal stove, he specially wrapped two pieces of braised pork in oil paper and gave them to Grandma Zhou downstairs.

Grandma Zhou smiled and put away the stove. "Won't you use it for a little longer? I still have to give you the money. We are neighbors, so don't be so polite. Xiang Qian was raised under my care."

Su Ye shook his head: "No, I might need to borrow the stove more often in the future, so Grandma Zhou can take it."

She took out a small package of braised pork from her pocket, stuffed it into Grandma Zhou's hand and whispered, "This is for Grandma. Heat it up in the stove and eat it quietly later."

Su Ye had read the novel and was quite confident about the character of Grandma Zhou. Her husband and children had died for the country, and she lived a hard and simple life, and she hardly got involved in the quarrels and fights in the novel.

Grandma Zhou handed Su Ye something and said, "This is a book for Xiang Qian. He was planning to borrow it from the library some time ago. You can take it back so he doesn't have to make an extra trip."

Su Ye said "oh" and took the book and took it home.

After Su Ye left, Zhou Honghan unfolded the oil paper, and never expected that there were two pieces of braised pork inside. She looked at the two pieces of meat with a serious expression for a long time, then she folded the oil paper to wrap the meat and put it by the window to freeze.

at night.

After Su Ye took a simple bath with water boiled in the stove, she had nothing to do so she opened the book given by Grandma Zhou.

Su Ye was a science and engineering major and could only roughly understand a few formulas.

Before she traveled through the book, Su Ye was very busy with work. She only flipped through the novel on a whim. She usually didn't read novels at all. She only read part of the novel and didn't finish it. Now she regrets it a little when she thinks about it.

In order to please female readers, the article begins with a description of Comrade Gu Xiangqian's deeds such as Tom Su. Almost all the unmarried women in the article admire him and want to marry him.

The heroine is outstanding and beautiful. The original wife who came from the countryside lost her marriage. She regretted it so much but got slapped in the face, which took up half of the book.

Yet there is no description of his interest in this area. How could he actually read such an obscure book

Su Ye turned to the cover, which was made of homemade kraft paper. Inside the title page was the title written in pen - "Scientific and Technological Numerical and Functional Relationships of Uranium Elements".

Su Ye turned to the back and a thin fifty-cent coin fell gently. She was stunned.

Su Ye didn't dare to take advantage of others. In such a poor era, life was not easy for everyone. Coal briquettes could only be purchased with coal coupons every month. The fifty cents was compensation for her. Otherwise, how could an old lady like her have enough coal coupons to spend

Su Ye picked up the money and put it into his pocket with mixed feelings.

The next morning.

Su Ye was awakened by the army's trumpet calls early in the morning. Su Ye ate the buns left over from yesterday.

The food would soon run out, so after breakfast Su Ye went out to look for a job.

In this era, it is impossible to find a job on your own. Even traveling far away requires a letter of introduction and shopping requires receipts. It is important to have a guaranteed job assignment.

The difficulty lies in the fact that many units and factories have set a threshold for academic qualifications when recruiting workers. Academic qualifications are like gold in this era, and they are very valuable. A technical secondary school degree is enough to stand out from the crowd.

Unfortunately, after the original owner graduated from elementary school, he was assigned to either menial or tiring work.

The original owner only wanted to have a stable job and eat the government's food, and was unwilling to go to the city but still do the same work as the country people. A month passed and the organization looked for him several times but still couldn't find a job, so he could only eat up his savings day by day.

Grandma Zhou got up early in the morning to clean the corridor. When she saw Su Ye leaving early, she was stunned.

Su Ye smiled warmly when she saw the person, "Good morning, Grandma Zhou."

"Why are you up so early today?" Zhou Honghan asked, holding a broom.

Su Ye touched her nose awkwardly, recalling the first day she woke up, when a rumor spread throughout the compound that "she slept like a pig, leaving her newlywed husband with nowhere to go when he returned to the team in the middle of the night."

Thinking of this, Su Ye must divorce Gu Xiangqian before the heroine comes back. Su Ye is not interested in being slapped in the face by others.

Su Ye coughed lightly: "I will go to the organization to solve the problem."

Grandma Zhou said, "That's great. We have to hurry up to find a job. Many companies are not hiring employees before the Chinese New Year. We can find a job before the New Year to get the food subsidy from the company."

The "food subsidy" Zhou Honghan mentioned refers to the subsidized supply of melon seeds, peanuts, and snacks that are rarely seen in the market. At the end of the year, urban employees can receive one pound of peanuts with skin and half a pound of melon seeds from their work units for free.

Units with good welfare benefits will also increase subsidies for refined grains, such as one pound of refined grains and half a pound of snacks.

In the eyes of Su Ye in later generations, this was not worth mentioning at all, but in the 1960s when people ate black flour and black steamed buns every day and famine was everywhere, this subsidy was a precious fortune.

Su Ye nodded and waved goodbye to her.

Grandma Zhou waved her broom and said nonchalantly, "When you go to the Women's Federation to look for a job, remember to tell your colleagues that you are Xiang Qian's daughter-in-law."

Originally, Zhou Honghan would never mention this to Su Ye, but she somehow added it.
