After getting Su Ye's approval, the gang of hooligans were very happy. They even went to school diligently. They couldn't even invite anyone to come when Lu Yuyuan invited them to dinner at the state-owned restaurant.
Lu Xinyuan was wondering, so he grabbed a person and asked, "Where is the person?"
A younger brother scratched his head awkwardly and said, "They were called back to class by Teacher Su. Everyone wanted to learn some skills from her."
Although Lu Yuyuan's father is the factory director, there is no guarantee that they will have a job in the future if they follow him. But they have heard that the students brought up by Su Ye can now take on private jobs on their own. If they also learn this skill, won't they also be able to live a good life
He looked at the clock on the wall, thinking about going back to school. His innocent heart was clearly written on his face, and he couldn't hide it at all.
Lu Yuyuan kicked him in the buttocks, "What kind of skill do you want to learn?"
Seeing his younger brother's expression of being in Cao's camp but with his heart in Han, he cursed, "Get lost."
The younger brother ran and begged for mercy, saying, "Okay, okay, big brother, when you have time, go back and listen to Teacher Su's class! I think it's very useful, maybe I can get a diploma!"
He felt that Lu Yuyuan should also go back to attend the class. Apart from anything else, Su Ye was right in saying that he could survive for the rest of his life. When he got the skills from Su Ye, he might be able to teach his elder brother and they could help him make money together.
Lu Xun looked around and found that Xu Le, with whom he had a close relationship, was not there. Even Tan Lan, whom he had helped before, was nowhere to be seen. For a moment, he felt complicated.
…
Military compound, weekend.
Ning Xingdou took a Chinese sausage from Su Ye and went home. Ning's mother carefully cut a small section and made Chinese sausage rice. This frugal mother took a handful of white rice and steamed it in a clay pot, repeatedly steaming it seven times to make the rice absorb as much water as possible and expand it, so as to save food. This is the method of steaming and cooking food that has been promoted recently in C City.
Unexpectedly, not long after the sausages were put in and steamed, a rich and tempting aroma wafted through the house.
Father Ning was reading a newspaper in the house. The smell of meat was like tickling one's hand, making one feel itchy and uneasy.
Mother Ning endured and endured. Under the urging of the whole family, she didn't have time to steam it for the seventh time, because when she added water for the third time, Father Ning shouted impatiently: "Don't steam it anymore, eat now."
Fortunately, he stopped his wife from steaming rice in time, otherwise everyone in the building would be unable to sit still! The aroma of meat had already drifted out through the window, and the neighbors who passed by after get off work would ask, "Professor Ning, do you eat meat at home?"
"Professor Ning, what are you doing that smells so good!"
"Hey, are there any extra dishes today?"
Mother Ning had no choice but to close the magnesium coal stove and take out the rice pot. She opened the lid and saw a small porcelain bowl lying steadily on the rice. The sausage slices in the bowl were soaked in golden oil during the steaming process. The oil flowed onto the rice, making the rice grains slightly soaked in oil and smelling tempting.
She was astonished. The sausage was so fat that it produced a small bowl of oil. The oil was thick and had not much water in it!
Of course she didn't know that the meat that Su Ye used to make sausages was taken from the wild boars rewarded in the live broadcast room. It was not the ordinary wild boars we have today, but a superior breed that had undergone thousands of years of genetic evolution. The meat was tender and plump, with a higher fat content than ordinary pork, and was easier to fill the stomach.
Ning's mother couldn't wait to fill a bowl of rice. The rice grains soaked up the essence of Chinese sausage and tasted smooth and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness, making people think about the second million after eating a bowl of Chinese sausage. She picked up a piece of Chinese sausage slice, which was cut so thin that it was as thin as a cicada's wing. It was soaked in oil and tasted delicious. It made people's mouths full of oil and the fragrance lingered on their cheeks.
Ning's mother has never eaten such delicious sausages!
She kept praising it and said with a smile, "Is this the sausage made by Su Ye? It's delicious. I didn't expect her cooking skills to be so good. You are so lucky, Brother Xiang Qian."
Ning Xingdou coughed violently and corrected, "This was done by Brother Xiang Qian."
Mother Ning said contemptuously, "Xiang Qian didn't know how to cook before. Before he got married, we always brought him meals. This cooking skill must have been brought by your sister-in-law from the countryside."
What he said was true, Ning Xingdou did not refute it.
The skill of making sausage must be Su Ye's. After Gu Xiangqian got married, the quality of the food has risen sharply. Su Ye's skill in braised pork is probably better than that of the chef in the canteen. Ning Xingdou has eaten the braised pork made by Su Ye, but he has never eaten braised pork in the army canteen.
Is marriage so happy? Ning Xingdou was so envious that he began to consider the possibility of marriage.
After the meal, Ning's mother carefully packed up the oil and water from the steamed sausage, took out a bottle of wine from the family collection from the cupboard and handed it to Ning Xingdou.
"I'll give this to you and Brother Xiang tomorrow."
Although the wine was good, it would have been a treasure worth hundreds of dollars in the past, but now no matter how good the wine was, it was no more expensive than pork. However, there was nothing more valuable than this at home to thank Su Ye, so Ning's mother shamelessly stuffed the wine into her son's hand.
"Brother Xiang and his wife often invite you to dinner. You must remember this kindness and help your brother do more work when you are free. Do you understand?"
Ning's mother had little contact with Gu Xiangqian's wife. She heard that she was a daughter-in-law from the countryside, not very good at managing life, and not very considerate of others, so she was often laughed at by people in the family compound. But Ning's mother realized the delicate thoughts of Gu Xiangqian and his wife. Look at the sausage-making skills, she is definitely a person who knows how to manage life.
Those who made fun of Su Ye for coming from the countryside and being uneducated and ignorant were the ones who were truly blinded by one thing. How could a rural wife be stingy? This gift was a full pound of sausage. In this day and age, even biological parents might not be so kind!
…
In the afternoon, Su Ye was shocked when he received the wine Ning Xingdou brought over, and asked, "What... what is this?"
Ning Xingdou said cheerfully, "My mother asked me to bring it. She said thank you to Brother Xiang and Sister-in-law for sending the sausages. She likes them very much."
What kind of wine is this? Su Ye has no other hobbies, and wine tasting is one of them. She carefully examined the outer packaging, and after confirming that it is unlikely to be fake wine these days, her pores stood up.
This is the predecessor of the "Mao x Liquor" which is known as the gold among liquors - Lai Mao Liquor. Two thousand years later, a bottle was sold at a famous liquor auction for 10.7 million yuan and was collected by a wealthy businessman. At that time, friends in the circle joked that "a drop is worth a million gold" and that workers could never afford it. Although the auction price may be inflated, even if it is cut in half, it is still more than 5 million yuan.
Such an expensive wine is lying in her hand right now, and she wants to exchange it for a pound of sausage? Su Ye suddenly rubbed her hands together, took a deep breath and handed the wine to Ning Xingdou.
"Auntie, you are too polite. I dare not accept such a valuable thing."
Ning Xingdou responded with an indescribable expression. When Ning's mother stuffed the wine into his hands, she kept muttering "I am shamelessly exchanging wine for meat". What's so expensive about this wine
In difficult times, food is the most precious thing. You can choose not to drink alcohol, but you cannot be without any oil or water in your stomach.
Pork is more precious than gold to ordinary people, but not to Su Ye. She knows how precious this bottle of wine is, but Ning Xingdou's family doesn't know, and she is embarrassed to take advantage of others for nothing.
However, how could Ning Xingdou be easily influenced by others? Since he had brought the things out, there was no reason for him to bring them back in the same condition. Did he have any shame
Ning Xingdou said, "It's okay, it's not worth much. My father has a lot of wine collection, and I still have a bottle of this kind of wine at home. You can take this bottle and drink it."
Su Ye thought about the wine from 1953, which was very close to the present year, and there were still a lot of wines from the same batch left. She felt relieved, but she took the bacon off the shelf and said sweetly:
"Xingdou, take some bacon back and try it. Your parents will definitely like it. You tried it last time, it was delicious, right?"
Thinking of the taste of the cured meat rice last time, Ning Xing was about to say no, but couldn't bring himself to say it. Gu Xiangqian's cured meat was very good.
The taste goes well with rice. One piece of meat can make a person eat several bowls of rice. This kind of delicacy is hard to find even in the delicious state-owned restaurants in City C.
Su Ye wrapped the bacon in paper with a smile and handed it to Ning Xingdou. "I heard that Professor Ning is very knowledgeable and is particularly good at mathematics. If you feel embarrassed to take it, then go home and ask Professor Ning for me. I have a few questions I would like to ask Professor Ning. Is he willing to teach me?"
Professor Ning is a scientist listed in textbooks and an idol in the eyes of countless students. Just for this reason, how could Su Ye let his idol go hungry
Ning Xingdou was struggling fiercely in his heart.
He understood that Su Ye was clearly fooling him. Although his father was indeed very accomplished in mathematics and physics, he was not to the point where everyone admired him. She specially saved meat for him to eat, and he felt an indescribable excitement in his heart!
Gu Xiangqian saw this scene and couldn't help but smile: "Take the star back, or your sister-in-law might not be able to sleep tonight."
Although he knew that Su Ye liked to drink, he didn't know that Su Ye would sacrifice her favorite bacon for a bottle of wine. It seemed that he needed to buy more good wine to cater to her preferences.
Since their marriage, Gu Xiangqian seemed to have never given Su Ye anything decent. Although he didn't remember it, it was quite shabby according to their previous living standards.
After Su Ye saw Ning Xingdou off with a smile, the soldier from the message room personally delivered a package to the door.
"Is Teacher Su here? There is a farmer outside the family compound who has something for you."
Su Ye couldn't help but feel happy, and praised Comrade Ma Gensheng for his quick actions. Not only did he get the pass issued by the leader of the Revolutionary Committee, he also persuaded the members to decide where the tea should go. He was so helpful, and Su Ye certainly couldn't let him down.
After the tea eggs that Su Ye mailed last time arrived in the countryside, there were a few kilograms of rice in the background of the live broadcast room. This realization opened the door to a new world for Su Ye. Although it was just a small crack, it was enough for Su Ye to use it to shine and heat up.
The definition of "labor" is very broad, and Su Ye had read many books and checked the information earlier. Labor is not just teaching. Any activity that can create material and spiritual wealth can create valuable labor.
As a teacher, teaching and educating people is not enough to satisfy Su Ye. If she wants to make a fortune, she needs to open up more roads.
Helping Shanggou Village sell tea and solve the villagers' food problem should be a very meaningful thing in this era. Earning food can save a few people from starving to death, and it should be able to create some labor value. Some people say that even if there is no food reward, Su Ye will help if he encounters it.
Teaching life is too boring, it's nice to do something else occasionally to change your mood.
"Is he still here?" Su Ye asked hurriedly.
The young soldier said, "The man had left long ago, and he brought back a donkey loaded with things."
