Chapter 14 Factory Selling Grains

Li Zhenzhen came to the kitchen and started working swiftly.

Take a large basin, pour a little yeast powder from the space, add warm water to dissolve it, then pour in refined flour, add water to knead the dough until smooth, put it on the warm stove, cover it with gauze to let it ferment.

Take out the Chinese cabbage and space bacon, cut them into slices and set aside. Heat oil in a large iron pot, add garlic while it is hot and sauté it, and immediately a strong garlic aroma fills the whole kitchen.

At this time, pour the bacon and Chinese cabbage into the pot and stir-fry over high heat. For a while, the hot oil touches the moisture on the cabbage and makes a crackling sound.

It doesn't take long to stir-fry. This dish is all about the crisp taste of the cabbage. Add a little salt when it's almost out of the pot, and it's done.

This dish of Chinese cabbage fried with bacon looks great. Because there is enough oil, each cabbage leaf is covered with a thin layer of oil, shining.

The white cabbage, green cabbage leaves and red bacon have a strong color contrast, which makes the white, green and red look even more white, green and red, making people salivate at the first sight.

Cover the cooked dishes to keep them warm. The dough has risen. Divide them into ten small balls of equal size and knead them into smooth round shapes. Put them into the steamer and add water to steam. They can be served after ten minutes.

Thinking that Chen Jianguo is a soldier and might like spicy food, I took a small plate and put some chili sauce in it. I took it to the main room with the steamed buns and the dishes.

Chen Jianguo was sitting in the room. He was disturbed by the aroma. He opened the door without waiting for Li Zhenzhen to come in. He grabbed the dishes and rice with both hands and walked back to the room quickly.

"Zhenzhen, your cooking skills are amazing. I just smelled the fragrance. It's so delicious."

"Then eat more later. Dad, I'll help you up to eat."

Chen Jianguo was very happy to see the chili sauce, "Zhenzhen, how do you know I like it? When I was in the army, I loved this chili sauce. Without it, nothing tasted good."

"Hehe, I guessed."

"Zhenzhen, you are so smart. Mmm, delicious."

Chen Jianguo raised his thumb while eating. Since he came to Beijing alone, he had cold pot and cold stove at home. He hadn't eaten a decent home-cooked meal for a long time. He didn't care about anything else for a while and buried his head in eating.

Li Zhenzhen saw this and had the illusion of feeding pigs. She was so upset. How could it be so delicious? In the end, Chen Jianguo ate six of the ten steamed buns by himself!

Li Zhenzhen secretly made up her mind that she would never let Chen Jianguo come to her house for meals again. He was such a big eater.

Before she knew it, the clouds in the sky had quietly faded away, and the moon had risen. The night sky seemed to be washed by water. There was no cloud or mist. It looked like a piece of azure crystal, high and far away.

After seeing Chen Jianguo off, Li Zhenzhen took out the military coat and quilt he brought with him. They were very thick and perfect for winter. Especially the military blanket, which can be put on the newly made bed sheet, so there is no need to worry about using the quilt in the space, which increases the risk of exposure.

Li Zhenzhen took out new clothes and new bed sheets from the space and went to Li Bingwen's room.

"Dad, look, I made new clothes for you, try them on."

"Not bad, they look good."

"This is a replica of a military uniform, I think it looks good too, go try it on."

"Okay, wear it and show it to me, cough..."

The father and daughter changed their clothes and came out, both looking brand new, looking at each other and laughing happily.

Li Bingwen touched the new clothes on his body and felt that since he fell ill, Zhenzhen has grown up quickly. Compared with before, she is no longer a childish person, and she is getting more and more capable, even wearing new clothes herself.

Li Bingwen was very comforted.

Li Zhenzhen put on the military coat again and tried it on. It was very warm, but it was a little too long, reaching her ankles. But it was good this way. When winter comes, she can cover her whole body tightly and no longer have to worry about being cold.

She put the military blanket into the bed sheet and removed Li Bingwen's original bedding. These tattered old things were no longer needed and replaced with new ones.

After doing all this, Li Zhenzhen clapped her hands, looked at the brand new bed with satisfaction, and quickly let Li Bingwen lie down.

"Dad, come and lie down and try it. How is it? Is it warm?"

"Yeah, it's very warm."

"That's good. I made a new one too. It won't be cold this winter. That's great."

Li Zhenzhen has a new worry recently. Since she bought more than 60 yuan in bills, Li Zhenzhen has been spending lavishly on food, daily necessities, and clothes. It was soon used up. Even the more than 500 yuan in change that Li Bingwen gave her was only half left.

Li Zhenzhen was very anxious. Although the things in the space were good, most of them could not be brought out in public. She still needed to buy products that were in line with the characteristics of the times.

If we continue like this, we will end up eating up all the money. We must find a way to make money and buy more tickets. Moreover, the most important thing is not making money, but tickets. Without tickets, it is useless to have more money!

Li Zhenzhen did not plan to look for the shaved-headed ticket seller again. She decided to take action on her own.

Where did the most people get tickets? Of course, it was the workers in the state-owned factories. In this era, the status of workers was particularly high. They had no shortage of money and tickets, but they were short of materials and could not buy anything good. They should be in need.

Li Zhenzhen entered the space and carefully selected items that were available in this era and in short supply. In the end, she chose five items, all in bulk, namely refined white flour, rice, eggs, bacon and brown sugar. She weighed them one by one and packaged them separately according to the weight of 1 jin, except for eggs.

As for the price, Li Zhenzhen had also thought about it. She would refer to the price of the high-priced food specially supplied for the National Day.

Li Zhenzhen put on her battle robe, the worn-out cotton jacket, and a tattered large cloth bag slung across her body, intending to use it as a cover to take things from the space. She put on makeup on her face, and wrapped her head and face with the worn-out black scarf, and walked out confidently.

After finding a large machinery factory and arriving at the family area, Li Zhenzhen patiently waited for the workers to get off work. She calculated the time, so the factory got off work soon, and the workers walked out of the gate and headed home one after another.

Li Zhenzhen planned to look for female workers in their thirties and forties. Most of them were the housekeepers of a family, with old and young people at home, and they should be in great need of food.

Li Zhenzhen seized the opportunity, walked quickly to a female worker, approached her and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, do you need food?" Who knew that the female worker didn't even look at her and walked forward.

Could it be that she didn't hear me because I spoke too softly?

Well, that should be the case.

Li Zhenzhen found another female worker, this time in a louder voice, "Comrade, do you want to buy food?" Unexpectedly, the female worker ignored her, glanced at her, and walked away.

What's going on? Don't these people need to buy food?
