Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

"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!"

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

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

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.

"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~"

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

"Oh, this thing can also sing!?"

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

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

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

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.

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."
