Chapter 78 Jia Dongxu's Irritation
At this time, there were actually guns in the civilian population, but most of them were old guns and muskets. It would take a few years for guns to become widespread. Anyway, in order to deal with the threat of Su Daqiang, we produced a large number of light weapons later, and it is said that they have not been sold out for many years.
This time, Liu Hai plans to go back to get some wild boars or something, on the one hand to kill the pests, and on the other hand to ask for leave to go back. When he comes back, he will bring some good things, and no one in the factory will say anything.
Although Liu Hai knows the attitude of the director and secretary to him, it is precisely because of this that he cannot go too far.
When the director heard that Liu Hai wanted to ask for leave to go home and wanted something for self-defense, he nodded: "Xiao Liu, you are very alert. Go to the security department to get a gun, and I will apply for a pistol for you."
Liu Hai just learned from Section Chief Hou that the management of long guns was not strict at this time, but the management of pistols was very strict, because pistols were not conspicuous.
"Director, I like long ones, and I don't want short ones." Liu Hai quickly refused. It was enough to have a long gun to cover people's eyes and ears.
"Be careful on the road. If you have any problems, call the factory first." The factory director nodded when he heard Liu Hai say this.
"Thank you, factory director. I will pick it up when I leave." Liu Hai thought about it. Since he was going to hunt wild boars, he would go back on Thursday night, stay all day on Friday, and come back on Saturday. It would be a good opportunity to send some pheasants and rabbits to Teacher Zhu. This time he had a gun, so he had to get more to show his favor.
With thermal imaging, those wild boars, pheasants, etc., are simply a piece of cake. Even leopards can be killed. There are many leopards in this era. Even tigers have to be surrounded and suppressed, let alone these little Karami.
In the evening, Liu Hai returned to the courtyard with two kilograms of loose wine, put the bicycle in the empty room next door, and then boiled some water.
There was no problem with the transplanted corn seedlings last night. While looking at the corn seedlings, he saw the first uncle and Jia Dongxu coming back. Jia Dongxu glanced at Liu Hai and said nothing.
The first uncle felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Liu Hai ignoring him. After all, he was a respected first uncle.
Then the second uncle came back. Liu Hai greeted him warmly when he saw him: "Second uncle."
"The corn has sprouted, not bad."
"Yeah, this is corn, this is tomato, this is chili, and these are some sweet potato vines I picked up. They looked dry, but I didn't expect them to be alive." Liu Hai introduced them one by one.
"Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, let's go."
"Okay."
Liu Hai took two kilograms of loose wine and went to the backyard.
Jia Dongxu returned home and sat on a stool. He felt a little scared and wanted to go out.
Qin Huairu took care of the children, washed clothes, cooked, etc. Without Grandma Jia, Qin Huairu felt much more relaxed.
"It's time to eat." Qin Huairu made noodles and served them to Jia Dongxu.
"You eat." Looking at the white noodles, Jia Dongxu thought of the delicious food and spicy drinks he had a while ago, and felt that he couldn't eat the white noodles in front of him.
"I need to buy rice and noodles tomorrow, and I don't have any soy sauce anymore." Qin Huairu said as he fed Banggan his noodles.
"Didn't I give you five yuan a few days ago?" Jia Dongxu asked when he heard this.
"It's only two days before half a month." Qin Huairu didn't dare to talk back to Jia Dongxu. This was what Old Lady Jia taught him before. She said to Qin Huairu that you are a country girl, and that made Qin Huairu feel so humble.
"Ask the uncle." Jia Dongxu was upset. He had no more than 200 yuan in his hand, and he still owed the uncle more than 100 yuan. There was an IOU outside, and the family needed to spend money again.
Qin Huairu suspected that he had heard it wrong. He looked at Jia Dongxu, and Jia Dongxu changed his words and said, "You borrow from the aunt first."
Jia Dongxu didn't even call him Master. Jia Dongxu still hated Yi Zhonghai because he heard someone win so much at work today. The card-playing skills of the winner were not as good as his. If he went, wouldn't he make a comeback?
On the second uncle's side, the second aunt had already wrapped the dumplings, and when the people arrived, they would start making dumplings.
"Second uncle, this emerald garlic is soaked authentically." Xu Damao looked at the green garlic in the plate and said.
"Your second aunt's craftsmanship." The second uncle replied with a smile.
Some northerners eat dumplings with vinegar, and the emerald garlic is soaked.
"Brother Liu Hai, this is a waste of money for you again." Xu Damao said to Liu Hai again.
"Let's not talk about it, we are not outsiders." Liu Hai shook his head and said.
While talking, the dumplings came up, with leeks, eggs, and lard residue. When Liu Hai was refining the oil, the lard residue was not too dry. If you bite it now, the lard residue will sizzle with oil.
The lard residue was chopped and mixed with the fried eggs and chopped leeks. The eggs should be cooled before mixing.
The leeks cooked in the dumplings are just cooked, and the taste is the best. If they are cooked for too long, the taste of the leeks will change.
Liu Hai still didn't drink, while the second uncle and Xu Damao drank, eating dumplings and drinking wine, and the more they drank, the more they had.
"Brother Liu Hai, don't get too close to the third uncle in the future, they are so stingy. Look, last time I took your fish, you didn't lend me a bicycle later, and the third aunt was still muttering about you behind your back." Xu Damao said while eating.
Liu Hai nodded: "There won't be a second time for such a person."
Liu Hai didn't care about the fish at first, and it was good enough to see a person clearly from a few fish.
"In our courtyard, the second uncle is honest. In the factory, the second uncle has more apprentices than the first uncle."
"The second uncle is not private, and the first uncle doesn't look at his beautiful words, but he actually has a lot of thoughts." Xu Damao said again.
The second uncle put down his chopsticks and picked up his wine glass and said, "I won't say anything, otherwise Lao Yi will be unhappy if he finds out."
"Haha, look at the apprentice he taught." Xu Damao also raised his wine glass.
Liu Hai said, "The second uncle is so good. I have troubled him recently."
"We are not outsiders. Let's not talk about this. Let's eat dumplings." The second uncle said.
Liu Hai ate and drank enough. The few people chatted for a while and then went home.
"Second uncle, I will go back to the countryside in the next two days. Please help me with Auntie to take care of the flower beds." Before leaving, Liu Hai said.
"No problem." The second uncle nodded with a blushing face, and he would not teach Liu Hai the benchwork skills tonight.
"Next week, let's make a honeycomb coal machine, and do both the manual and the machine together." When he returned home and saw that there was still fire in the coal briquette stove, he felt moved.
Liu Hai didn't have much time to cook, and coal briquettes were wasted, and the equipment of the coal briquette stove was very simple.
