I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 119 118. Bringing Food to the Home (6.3K)

  There are telephone poles stacked on the reef next to the pier, stacked in three layers, and a group of children is climbing up and down.

  Wang Yi went to see it curiously after getting on the pier.

  There are two types of telephone poles here, one is the cement concrete pole that he is familiar with, and the other is the wooden pole.

   Among them, the number of cement concrete telephone poles is small, including five poles that have been erected on the edge of the wharf, and the rest are all wooden poles.

  The wooden pole is made of wood and is divided into two parts in terms of color, the upper part is the original wood color, and the lower part is rough black.

  Wang Yi is familiar with wooden telephone poles, which he often saw in old alleys in Shanghai when he was a boy.

   I still remember that when they taught about charcoal in the physics class, their teacher showed them a wooden utility pole.

  Compared with wood, the chemical properties of charcoal at room temperature are much more stable, and it is more resistant to light, moisture, oxidation, etc., and it is not easy to rot when buried underground when used as a utility pole.

The man who was presiding over the tree poles ran to him happily and said: "The poles were delivered yesterday afternoon, and the secretary went to ask a technician to make plans for the erection of electric wires for our team. Today, we will start to bury the electric poles and erect the wires. Come on, it will be powered up soon."

   Wang Yi asked: "Why are there two types of telephone poles here? Charcoal poles are cheap?"

"Not only is it cheap," he explained boldly, "but because it is easy to buy, the electric power bureau in our city can produce it by itself. Cement concrete utility poles have to be transported from inland industrial cities, but it is difficult to buy them. The party secretary also found several people. Buy it for help."

  Cement concrete utility poles are used in seaside locations, seawater is too corrosive, and the carbonized wooden utility poles still cannot hold it.

   In fact, even cement concrete utility poles can't carry too many years. Wang Yi checked the information before and learned that in order to combat the brine substances in seawater, the concrete products used in the sea for 22 years are all specially made.

   There are not many telephone poles next to the wharf, so Wang Yi said, "Are these poles enough for our team to set up a circuit network? I'm afraid not enough?"

   "It's really not enough," nodded boldly, "Mr. Wang, you are really amazing, you are really literate, you can know it's not enough just by looking at the telephone pole."

   "This is called a scholar who knows the world's affairs without going out." Wang Dongfeng, who was busy with his work, raised his head and said, and then he scratched his head again, "No, it's not this sentence, how do you say that sentence?"

  Wang Yi asked, "Have you made up your mind? Do you have Qiuhe? As soon as the expert makes a move, will you know if you have it?"

  Wang Dongfeng shook his head again and again.

   And at the end, the big guy didn't know what he wanted to say...

   boldly kicked him and scolded: "You go to work, all to work, what does it have to do with your gang of soldiers when I have a high-level conversation with Teacher Wang here?"

   The others laughed immediately.

  Wang Yi also smiled and asked, "Is it because our team's finances are tight and we only have enough to buy these telephone poles?"

Boldly said: "No, it was the technician who came to our island to take a look and said that the production team on our outer islands has not been powered on on a large scale. He is inexperienced in this regard, and he has to go back and study with his colleagues before he can guide the work in our team. ."

"In addition, there will definitely be a lot of utility poles to be used at that time, and wooden utility poles are not cheap. They cost 14 to 15 yuan a piece, so if we want to use it on a large scale, the Electric Power Bureau will support the construction of an asphalt pot on our island. , and then produce the poles themselves."

  Wang Yi asked suspiciously: "Do you still have to use asphalt to produce utility poles?"

   "Yeah, don't you see that the part of the utility pole that is buried in the ground is covered with a layer of asphalt?" Boldly kicked the wooden utility pole next to him.

   At this time, Zhang Youxin asked, "Mr. Wang, do you want to unload the food?"

   Hearing this, the militia members who were burying the telephone poles all stopped and looked at the motor boat with bright eyes.

   Food!

  I heard the grain!

  Wang Yi nodded to him and asked him to wait a moment, then said to Da Da, "The digging of the telephone pole is not in a hurry. Let the big guy unload the grain first. I went to Shanghai this time to bring back the grain."

   He told Wang Xianghong about this, but Wang Xianghong did not inform all the members.

   After all, the food has not been brought to the island, he is afraid that there will be an accident that will not bring it back, how disappointed the members will be? He can't explain it well.

  It was only at this moment that Bold knew that Wang Yi had brought food back.

   He exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Wang, are you going to buy cheap food again? Then why didn't you shout to us? We'll wait for you at the city dock."

  Wang Yi said: "This time there is a boat from the post and telecommunications office that can be used, so we don't need to shake the oar by ourselves. Okay, you can lead the team to start moving food."

The members of the    militia team took off their jackets to reveal a singlet or vest, and went to the boat with their shirtless to pick up their grain bags and start working.

   Boldly shouted: "Run with small steps, let me speed up, hurry up, hurry up and unload the food so that postman Zhang can go home early."

   Zhang Youxin teased them: "I don't care about food?"

  Wang Yi said: "Of course you have to take care of the meal..."

   "I'm joking." Zhang Youxin waved his hands again and again, "I have to go back quickly, sailing at night is very dangerous, I can't take risks by myself."

   This makes sense, but Wang Xianghong quickly walked down the mountain after seeing the arrival of the motor boat from the Post and Telecommunications Office. He held Zhang Youxin to prevent him from leaving:

   "Comrade Zhang, you have done a lot for our team. What are you doing in such a hurry to go back? Stay, be sure to stay, and have a drink here tonight."

   Zhang Youxin couldn't move his feet when he heard that he was going to drink.

   He said embarrassedly: "No, it's really dangerous to sail at night, you see that the wind and waves are not small today..."

   "Of course it's dangerous, so you drink more at night and stay at my house." Wang Xianghong said in an unquestionable tone.

   Zhang Youxin shook his head: "This is even worse. I have to go to work tomorrow. How can I go to work tomorrow if I live tonight?"

  Wang Xianghong said: "What a simple matter, you get up half an hour early tomorrow and go back to the boat. Anyway, you are driving an oil tanker. This thing runs fast and effortlessly. You only need to get up earlier than usual!"

   Thinking that as long as you get up half an hour earlier than usual, you can change a big drink, Zhang Youxin is decisively moved.

  Wang Yi said to him again: "Didn't you just get a set of alarm clocks from your relative's house? Just try this set of alarm clocks tomorrow morning."

   Zhang Youxin was completely moved: "That's right, just try the alarm clock."

   He got on the boat to take down the alarm clock. Wang Xianghong saw it and said, "Good thing, what relative of yours actually has a set of general's bell?"

  Wang Yi asked: "Zhishu, do you know this set of clocks?"

Wang Xianghong said, "What about the general's bell? The Far East Watch Factory in Hudu produced a batch of bells in 1963 or 1962. These bells are amazing. At that time, they had to be purchased with an officer's certificate. In our army, only cadres at or above the regiment level can afford it. Buying it and calling it the General Bell is related to this purchase qualification.”

   Zhang Youxin said: "Yes, the secretary is right."

  Wang Yi heard this and felt that the clock in his hand was precious. It was made of expensive materials, and the status of supplying customers was honorable, so it was definitely worth collecting.

  Wang Xianghong dragged Zhang Youxin away, and then asked Wang Dongfang to call Xiufang home to prepare dinner.

   The militia team is in full swing carrying food.

  The grain bag was heavy, and when Wang Yi was carrying it before, it was a heavy step.

   And the members of the militia team walked like flying.

   While talking and laughing, a boatload of food was empty.

  Wang Dongxi came to Dazao with a book in his hand. Now all the food was stored in the Dazao. He opened it one by one, and then set the price and set a share for the team.

  As the sun sets in the west and the tired birds return to their nests, the sea breeze begins to cool down, and the sea rang out with shouts and horns, and the fishermen who went out to sea came back from work.

  The female members got off work earlier and went home for dinner. With a touch of sunset light sprinkled on the sea, the smoke from the cooking on Tianya Island began to curl up.

  In such a quiet and peaceful place, the top of the mountain suddenly became noisy, and people began to run up to Wang Yi calling for friends and friends:

   "Mr. Wang, you brought food back from Shanghai?"

   "Is it still cheap food? Is it also sold to our members at a fair price this time?"

   "Where's the food? Great, I've been eating rice and noodles at home, and I'm still worried about it for the past two days. The men at home eat a lot during the Spring Festival, so I'm afraid of running out of cooking!"

  Wang Dongxi quickly locked the door of the big stove.

   He said angrily: "It must be Fengzi who leaked the news, his big mouth!"

  Wang Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, the food is prepared for our team anyway. It's better for the members to know, lest you go to the loudspeaker to shout."

  Wang Dongxi deeply regrets this.

   He likes to speak through loudspeakers, and he has the passion and heroism to command the whole island.

   Soon he has no regrets.

   There were too many people asking about food, and Wang Yi couldn't entertain them. He asked Wang Dongxi to apply to Wang Xianghong to broadcast it over a loudspeaker.

   So a few minutes later, his voice sounded on the island: "Hey, cough, hey, can you hear Hang? That I am a clerk in our team. I have something to say. I am here to say something."

"That our teacher Wang brought back a batch of food from the city, um, a batch of food, it's still cheap food, and every household can get a share, so I hope the members don't worry, don't come to harass Teacher Wang, After the food is counted, it will be sold to everyone."

   "Cough, I repeat..."

   As soon as the broadcast sounded, the island became lively, and the voices on the entire island were several decibels higher.

   Food is what fishermen care about most these days.

  The sun enters the sea and night falls.

   As time goes by, the spring on the sea becomes more and more beautiful, and the spring colors become more and more beautiful.

   At this time, the sunset slowly fell into the sea sleep, half of the ocean turned black and half of the sea water was orange-red, but the moon that just appeared was as white as snow as always.

   At this time, the rich night was pouring in from all directions, and the tide was even more turbulent in the night, hitting Tianya Island with a crisp sound of 'crashing'.

  The night is immersed in the green hills on Tianya Island, the stars appear vaguely, and the waves hit the reefs and jump, like saying hello to the stars that have just appeared.

  The moon gradually brightened, Wang Yi looked up, the thin crescent moon, the stars in the sky, and the gentle evening wind came over the face, which warmed the hearts of the people.

  This is my hometown, and this scene is reassuring.

  Wang Yi had white noodles in his room. He packed two bags, each of 50 jin. When the night fell, Da Dumbled was carried on his back and followed him to Wang Xianggao's house, an old carpenter.

  Wang Xianggao mixed some cold dishes with shredded kelp, small chili peppers and rice vinegar. For fishermen, this is an appetizer.

   is even more drinkable than seafood.

   Seaweed is stronger than seafood. It is really hard to eat seafood every day, and seaweed is much stronger.

   He poured out two bottles of the wine that Wang Yi had given him, and sealed the rest of the jars for Wang Modou's wedding.

   Nothing else is required at the fisher's wedding banquet, as long as there is wine.

   Like the big bucket of grain and wine that Wang Yi gave him to move out at that time, it is definitely a face.

   He was sipping his wine happily when Wang Modou said, "Mr. Wang is here."

  Wang Xiang stood up subconsciously, he watched Wang Yi enter the door and smiled: "Ah, really Teacher Wang is here, come over to make a living together?"

  Wang Yi waved his hand: "Secretary of the Communist Party of China invites the comrades of the post and telecommunications office to dinner tonight, and I will come to accompany you."

  He let Dazhuo put down a noodle bag.

  Wang Xiang turned pale in shock: "What is this for? The reclining chair I made for you is worthless, and it's made of wood from the team..."

   "It's not about the reclining chair, it's the gavel last time. I gave it to my classmate. My classmate liked it very much. I said it was given by you, and he asked me to thank you." After Wang Yi finished speaking, he left.

  Wang Xianggao is a stubborn man, and I can't tell you anything about him.

   He took the big confused to the captain's house again. The captain gave him so many first edition renminbi. Although he still couldn't get a set together, the total value was also very considerable. He had to reciprocate.

   The meal at the captain's house is simple, a pot of sea rainbow with juice and a big pancake with a lid.

  The five children scrambled on the table, and the seven people stretched out their hands together, and the full padding suddenly became empty.

   One bowl of sea rainbow soup for each person, which they use to make pancakes.

   When Wang Yi entered the door, he saw the whole family holding up bowls and pulling rice into their mouths. The sound was muffled. To be honest, it was like the five little pigs in the school rushing for food.

   He was only discovered by Haowa when he entered the door of the inner room, Haowa shouted, "Hello, Teacher Wang!"

Wang Yi smiled: "Hello, classmates, how about you eat? Go ahead and eat. I brought some food back from the city. I know your family is in difficulty, so I will send a bag of noodles to your family first. Don't eat coarse grains all day long, and occasionally eat fine grains. Improve and improve lives.”

   In fact, people on the outer islands prefer to eat rice.

   But white noodles are more popular than rice, and the weight is also 50 pounds. White noodles can be eaten more than rice.

   The captain quickly wiped his mouth with a slap and stood up, he nodded and said, "Mr. Wang, you are so kind, so kind to my family..."

"Don't say anything, don't let the good baby give me another knock." Wang Yi smiled and waved his hand, "You guys can continue to eat, I'll just come over to deliver the food, there is a dinner party waiting for me at the branch secretary, I I'm leaving."

   He nodded to Dazed, and the two turned away.

  Captain wanted to greet him, but Keren had already left.

   asked my brother to open the rope on the bag to see, and then said in surprise: "Dad and mother, white noodles, the top-notch white noodles, this is a special powder!"

   The other four children clattered around.

  Huang Xiaohua pulled them away, she opened the bag and took a look, her face showed genuine joy.

   She sighed: "Mr. Wang is really a good person. In the old society, people said that a bodhisattva has a heart, isn't Teacher Wang a bodhisattva? He always cares about poor families like us."

   Good baby said: "Mother, I want to eat white flour buns, I don't want to eat pancakes..."

   "If you don't eat me, I will." The second brother hurried to grab his bowl.

  The good girl burst into tears: "I want white-flour buns! Mother, the second sister robbed me, mother, I want to eat buns, eat big buns!"

  Huang Xiaohua pinched the ear of the second daughter: "What are you teasing your brother for? Go back and sit down and eat your meal! You also have a good baby, there are big steamed buns, and they will be available during the Dragon Boat Festival!"

  Good baby refused, and went to the captain again: "Dad, Daddy, I want to eat steamed buns, I want to eat steamed buns!"

   The four daughters also shouted.

  Huang Xiaohua was angry: "You all die from gluttony, all of them are ghosts of gluttony, die from gluttony!"

   Looking at the thin faces of the five children and their extremely large eyes because of their thinness, the captain couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

  Thinking of the dozen great unity under the cabinet, he suddenly felt confident, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Eat the big steamed buns! Tomorrow we will eat steamed white flour steamed buns at the RM home!"

"Damn, before work tomorrow morning, take two lump heads to wash, wash and dry. Didn't Mr. Wang also send us some oil? When steaming steamed buns in the evening, bring a bowl of steamed pickles with oil and eat a solid meal tomorrow night. of!"

  Huang Xiaohua was reluctant and called out, "Are you going to live too long?"

   "It's not enough," the captain slapped the table. "Let's make a meal first. We still have some air-dried spare ribs at home, right? Let's stew it together, make a pot of soup, and make a meal for the whole family!"

   The five children jumped for joy when they heard this.

  The old man's scolding sounded from the next door: "What nonsense? The spare ribs will be sent to Hua's parents, and we don't need to eat them. What about white-noodled steamed buns and steamed pickles? No eating..."

   "Father, you don't want to eat us." The captain shouted.

   There was no sound from the next door.

  Wang Yi recalled that Tingtao lived in the time-space house and took two bottles of wine, knocking down the No. 1 sample wine of the Jing family.

   Pulling the Well is also a Luxiang wine, but it is the younger brother of the Luxiang family. The No. 1 sample wine is a relatively high-end series of their family. The reputation is very good. He thinks it is the most suitable for entertaining old drunkards like Zhang Youxin.

   The taste is moderate and the price is moderate.

After he got the wine, he hesitated: the last time the captain came to ask him to give him the first edition of RMB, he seemed to have promised the captain that he would bring two bottles of wine from Shanghai as gifts, but this time he was in a hurry to send food. forget.

   But don't worry about it, Wang Yi took the wine to Wang Xianghong's house.

  A wire passed through the branch and went over the wall to enter Wang Xianghong's house. A lamp was turned on, and the light inside the house was dim.

   Not bright enough but warm enough.

  Wang Xianghong's house was one of the first to turn on the electricity, because his house often entertains foreign guests and really needs a lamp to illuminate.

   After all, this represents the face of Tianya Island.

   This time, Wang Xianghong didn't call too many people. When Wang Yi arrived, there were only Bold and Shou Xing Ye. Bold came to accompany the wine, and Shou Xing Ye was highly respected.

   Seeing Wang Yi coming in, Lord Shou Xing gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Wang, this is your college student!"

  Wang Yi wondered what he was doing?

As a result, Shouxing Ye continued: "I have heard people say that college students are all in the sky, but in any case, I didn't expect that the Feng Shui of our Wang family could also attract a Wenqu star. College students really know everything, and they also understand medical skills. very nice!"

  Wang Yi explained: "Oh, Lord Shouxing, I didn't prescribe the medicine you took, I bought it in the city."

   Lord Shou Xing said, "That same disease has hundreds of doctors. It's amazing that you know what medicine can cure it. You ask the whole team to find another one to try. Can you find someone who can go to the city to buy the right medicine?"

   Zhang Youxin said: "Yes, it is also a skill to be able to prescribe medicines. Doctors don't know how to produce medicines. They just prescribe medicines for people."

   Wang Xianghong looked at Wang Yi thoughtfully.

  Wang Yi's heart skipped a beat.

   Sure enough.

   Wang Xianghong said: "Mr. Wang, there used to be a clinic in our team. It was your grandfather who worked as a doctor, but he was gone in 1971. There has been no doctor in our team in the past ten years. Look at you..."

The words behind    are not spoken, but everyone understands the meaning!

Wang Yi had no choice but to wave his hand: "Secretary, you see that I'm not polite, I'm not humble, and it's not that I don't want to take responsibility. You understand my temper. If I can help our team members, I will definitely be willing, but I really can't do this doctor. , I haven't learned it!"

   He also wanted to help the elders and fellow villagers as much as possible, but he didn't have the ability.

  If you let him be a chef, he will not be polite, no matter how tired he is.

  The doctor is different.

   This is a job that concerns people's lives, even if he is given a Baidu, he will not dare to take the heavy responsibility in vain.

   Wang Xianghong didn't say much, but beckoned and said, "We'll talk about this later, it's getting late, the dishes are almost ready, we're going to have dinner."

   He said to Zhang Youxin again: "Comrade Zhang, you understand the conditions of our outer islands. There are no good or hard dishes today, so let's have a snack."

   Zhang Youxin said, "I just like snacks!"

  Wang Yi took out the first sample wine from two bottles, and the people at the wine table nodded: "Hey, this is a good wine!"

   In the 22-year-old liquor packaging, the Toppling Well is relatively shabby and not high-end, but it is just right for Wang Yi to bring it to 1982.

  The liquor of 1982 is generally finished with wine in a glass bottle, and this style is exactly the style of overturning the well.

   In comparison, the packaging of Jiannanchun and Gujing tribute is much more beautiful, especially Gujing tribute, there is a dragon on the wine jar at every turn!

   In addition, there is another advantage of overturning the well. The label paper attached to the bottle is easy to peel off, but it is not easy to peel off the one like Jiannanchun.

   Zhang Youxin took the wine bottle and looked at it suspiciously: "What kind of wine is this? Oh, bring down the well, I know this wine, it's a good wine in Lu Province."

Wang Yi said: "This is not an ordinary well. You can't buy it in a supply and marketing company, or even if you go to a winery, it's hard to buy it. This is an internal supply of wine, so only the bottle cap has a name on it. No information was left."

   He unscrewed the bottle cap and poured the wine for Zhang Youxin, and the rich aroma of wine quickly spread out.

   Then several gentlemen praised: "Good wine, good wine."

   And all Wang Yi could smell was the pungent smell of alcohol!

   The dishes on the table taste much better in comparison.

  As Wang Xianghong said, it’s all appetizers.

   Choke crab, tender and delicious. Crab paste, this tastes very dense, a local specialty appetizer. Boiled shrimp, steamed scallops, fresh and delicious. There are also salted mussels, a mouthful of salty shellfish and a mouthful of spicy wine, a perfect match!

   Jellyfish skin mixed with choy sum, fish and scallop platter, steamed egg with clams, razor clams in scallion oil…

   The hardest are two fish, braised octopus and braised pomfret.

   The braised pomfret is very big, and it took a big plate to fit it, at least four or five catties. I have seen this kind of fish in the market.

   In addition, the people in the outer islands are really ready to serve the main food. Xiufang ordered a pot of seafood noodles: drinking on an empty stomach hurts the stomach.

  Wang Yi divided the noodles for the big guy, and the hand-rolled noodles were covered with soup.

  Because Xiufang has great strength, the noodles she pulls out are full of strength. There is no seafood in it, only the soup made from seafood, so each mouthful of noodles and soup is delicious and satisfying!
