Chapter 42 New Year and Hoop Rolling (Part ) Seeking investment and follow-up reading
After the five catties of eggs in the previous chapter were published, I changed it to three catties. It still shows five catties. It should be that the chapter content has not been refreshed. Open the directory and drag down to refresh it. The text is as follows:

"It's really great!"

He Yushui shouted happily while holding a half-eaten bun in her hand.

He Yuzhu looked at the two remaining buns on Yu Shui's table and smiled bitterly.

He Yuzhu took a total of four big buns from the steamer.

Each bun is the size of an adult's fist.

Unexpectedly, he was outside cooking for a while.

Yu Shui actually ate two in one breath.

"Brother, am I dreaming?!"

"There are big meat buns to eat and millet soup to drink!"

He Yushui asked He Yuzhu.

There weren't many people who could live like this, even when their father He Daqing was alive? !
He Yuzhu touched He Yushui's little head lovingly and spoke gently.

"How could it be Mengna!"

"Pinch yourself and see if it hurts!"

"Okay!" Yu Shui agreed.

Then he stretched out his little hand, pinched He Yuzhu's arm, and asked curiously.

"Brother, tell me, does it hurt?"

"..."

He Yuzhu was speechless for a while.

But he still smiled and said, "In that case, let me pinch you and you will know if it hurts!"

"I don't want that!" He Yushui said and quickly dodged.

He Yuzhu looked at He Yuzhu's lively appearance and felt very relieved.

Yu Shui finally revealed the nature that she should have at her age.

Come to think of it, Shazhu in the drama is such a bastard.

I can't even protect such a lovely sister.

The two of them finished their dinner quickly while chatting and joking.

He Yushui ate two big buns in one breath and drank a big bowl of millet soup.

Her little belly was bulging.

Even He Yuzhu was afraid that she would break her stomach.

He Yuzhu eats big meat buns and drinks millet soup at home, while at Yi Zhonghai's house, it is the classic boiled sweet potato leaves, paired with a bowl of dumpling soup. This is the old couple's dinner.

Aunt Yi, who was busy cooking, didn't know that her spendthrift husband had given away the only few pounds of eggs in the house.

........................

The next day.

He Yuzhu and his sister did not eat the big meat buns, but fried two eggs, which they paired with steamed bread and the millet soup that they did not finish last night. They quickly ate them up because they did not want to waste them.

He Yuzhu didn't close the door when he was frying the eggs. Even if the aroma drifted out, the residents in the compound would just think that it was Fatty Liu's family frying eggs again.

Nowadays, even if a grain of rice falls on the ground, it is considered a sin, and wasting food is shameful.

After eating, He Yuzhu went out to work.

He Yushui didn't go with them because the weather was too cold. After the little girl finished eating, she lay down in bed.

It was freezing cold and everything outside was frozen, even the water pipes in the front yard were frozen tightly.

He Yuzhu put his hands in his sleeves. He estimated that the temperature was about minus 7 or 8 degrees Celsius.

If a water pipe is frozen, even if someone uses boiling water or coal briquettes to warm it, it will be of no help and will not be of much use.

Some residents had a sudden inspiration. The water pipes were frozen, but there was still snow, right?
Isn’t it hot water if it is heated and melted?
As a result, residents of each household dug snow, of course, the layer on the surface that looked relatively clean, and filled several basins with it. They went home and heated it up to melt it. Although it was not drinkable, it was definitely enough for washing their faces and brushing their teeth in the morning.

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu started to get busy as usual.

Washing and cutting vegetables, and feeling the increasing proficiency in my mind, is also a very fulfilling life, but the rate of increase is now slower and slower.

Life in the factory is actually quite boring. Every day I am either cooking or on my way to cooking.

In addition, the steel plant is a large factory with nearly 10,000 employees. He Yuzhu heard that they would add another canteen recently to ease the pressure here.

He Yuzhu naturally had no objection. He just had to cook his own meals honestly, go home with a lunch box in the evening, and live a happy life.

Every day, I go back and forth between two points.

Back in the courtyard, nothing big happened, but all kinds of trivial matters did pop up one after another.

Some people fight over trivial matters, while others fight over differences of opinion.

Uncle Yi, Fatty Liu and others played their role in time and stopped them.

He Yuzhu touched his chin. It seemed that once the street office was established after the new year, the person in charge would probably be determined. That person would be Yi Zhonghai and the other three. There were few families in the compound whose prestige could compare to theirs.

The end of the year is getting closer.

Before we knew it, it was New Year’s Eve.

The steel rolling mill announced a holiday from the first to the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, and officially resumed work on the sixth day.

On the morning of New Year's Eve.

After dinner, I had nothing to do.

He Yuzhu simply took his sister Yushui out.

The street was busy and crowded with people, including children running around, holding a hook and rolling a round iron ring.

He Yuzhu watched with great interest. Is this the legendary iron ring rolling?

However, there don’t seem to be many people playing, which is normal, after all, it’s freezing cold at this time.

Hoop rolling is a popular game among boys in the 1940s and 1950s. The hoop is an iron ring with a circumference of about one foot, about one centimeter thick, and a hook more than one foot long.

You can choose a flat field, and the player holds the iron hook and hooks the iron ring, and runs from one end of the field while pushing it, so that the iron ring does not fall and keeps rolling forward, all the way to the end of the field. Two or three people can also play the iron ring rolling game together, and the one who does not fall in the middle and reaches the end quickly wins.

This game requires certain skills when rolling, and you need to master the balance of force. Playing this game allows children to exercise their perseverance and arm strength while running, which is a very suitable fitness exercise for children.

He Yuzhu watched with the rain for a while, and then went to an early market.

I bought three strings of candied haws for Yu Shui. He ate one string and left two, which he said he wanted to take home.

And so we played until noon.

When He Yuzhu returned home, he saw that it was almost time.

He plunged into the kitchen.

He took the pork out of the space, washed it, put the whole piece into boiling water and started to cook it.

After blanching for 30 seconds, it was taken out again.

[Ding! [Cooking skills] proficiency +1! ]

[Ding! [Cooking Skills] Proficiency +1!]...

The system prompt sound in my mind sounded randomly.

He Yuzhu then took out the pork and rinsed it in cold water.

After it cools down completely, start cutting it into cubes.

Swipe...

I saw that the kitchen knife was in his hand, and he was using it very skillfully.

The kitchen knife, which was originally a bit blunt, now seemed to have turned into a magical weapon.

Just a few "swishes".

The whole strip of pork became a 2.5 cm square cube.

The movements throughout the whole process were very graceful.

Just like a knight.

……

The reminder sound in his mind kept ringing like popping beans.

After cutting the meat, He Yuzhu started to stir-fry.

After putting oil in the pot, add spices such as cinnamon, bay leaves and star anise in turn.

Fry over low heat until fragrant.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"Brother, you stir-fry it so deliciously!"

He Yushui, who was playing in the house, ran over when he smelled the fragrance.

His little nose was twitching, which looked very funny.

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "This is just frying the spices. It will become even more fragrant soon!"

As He Yuzhu spoke, he poured the cut meat into the pot and began to stir-fry.

The chewy and tender pieces of meat jumped into the oil pan, making a slight crackling sound.

At the same time, the fat on the pork began to flow out during stir-frying.

For a moment, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of oil mixed with spices.

"Wow! It smells so good, so good!"

"Brother, brother, can you let me eat one piece first?"

"A small piece will do!"

When He Yushui smelled the fragrance, her saliva couldn't help but flow out.

Especially the way he begs for food from He Yuzhu is so adorable.

He Yuzhu smiled helplessly.

“Not yet!”

"Be good, Yushui, be patient. The meat is not cooked yet and cannot be eaten."

"When it's cooked in a while, I'll make sure you have a delicious meal."

goodong...

He Yushui couldn't help swallowing.

Since her brother had said so, there was nothing she could do.

I had no choice but to go back to the house, pick up the remaining two candied haws, and swallow them in one gulp.

He Yuzhu looked at his sister's greedy look with some helplessness.

But what he didn't know was that the glutton next door couldn't help it either.

The food stir-fried by He Yuzhu is really delicious.

And this unique meaty aroma has a very strong penetrating effect.

In less than a few minutes, the fragrance had drifted into the courtyard.

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Jia Zhang sniffed the fragrance in the air greedily.

She had never smelled such a delicious meat before.

She was smelling good, dragging her chubby body around the room.

However, she knew that it must be the He family who was eating the meat, and it should not be ready yet.

It’s not the best time to go to his house to “borrow meat” yet.

So, I can only bear it.

At the same time, it continued to approach the He family and finally stuck to the wall of the He family.

All he was short of was sticking out his tongue and licking the wall.

[Ding! [Cooking skills] proficiency +1! ]

……

At this moment, He Yuzhu had already fried all the meat pieces in the pan until both sides were golden brown.

At the same time, seasonings such as rock sugar, sauce and salt are added.

The originally whitish piece of meat was instantly covered with a red sauce.

And probably because of the rock sugar, the meat is crystal clear.

"Wow! This piece of meat is so beautiful!"

“I really want to eat it right now!”

"Hoo-hoo...Brother, when do you think we can eat?"

“The rain can’t wait!”

At some point, Yu Shui ran into the kitchen again, staring at the braised pork in the pot.

And she also finished up the only two candied haws she had left.

He Yuzhu looked at his sister like this and smiled bitterly with helplessness.
