It had been two months since Hua Ma officially joined the Fifth Cafeteria, and it was now early spring.
Beijing in April was still plagued by the occasional sandstorm!
The originally bare branches were also sprouting tender green leaves in places that people could not see.
Pedestrians on the streets took off their bloated cotton coats and did not have the timid attitude of winter. They happily changed into thin clothes.
However, it was enough to resist the corrosion of the external environment.
Ma Hua slept until late in the morning.
Today was Sunday, so he didn't have to go to work!
Two months of cooking made Ma Hua look much more capable.
At this moment, Ma Hua didn't choose to secretly eat the steamed buns made in the space like he usually did.
Even though time had stopped in the warehouse, the big white steamed buns still smelled as if they had just come out of the pot.
But to say something that deserved a beating:
Ma Hua was a little tired of eating the steamed buns!
Therefore, he was ready to go out and look for some money.
Ma Hua still hadn't touched the salary that he had just received yesterday afternoon!
Ma Hua opened the door and stretched his body.
The sun hanging high in the sky made Ma Hua squint!
Then, he strode out of the courtyard.
Just as they turned the corner, a group of old men and women had already started their leisure life.
The old men gathered in groups and played chess under the big tree.
If one ignored the heated debate, it would be a beautiful painting.
Meanwhile, the old ladies found a sunny spot and sat on the curb, seriously burning matchboxes. They would tilt their heads and exchange information with their companions beside them!
"Yes, spring is here. It's the season for all things to recover!”Ma Hua couldn't help but imagine Teacher Zhao's voice.
After passing through the alley, Ma Hua arrived at a small restaurant with a good reputation.
The slogan on the wall made Hua Ma understand that this was a state-owned restaurant:
"You're not allowed to beat customers for no reason!"
"Good fellow, if you have a reason, you can really press the customer to the ground and hammer him!”Ma Hua smacked his lips, somewhat speechless.
"Comrade! Give me a plate of braised pork and stewed mutton. Oh right, and two bowls of rice!”
Ma Hua began to order and said to the waiter nervously.
"Wait!" The young waitress said concisely. She lowered her head and wrote a few words on the paper before entering the kitchen.
"Hey! It's not dangerous!"
Ma Hua finally calmed down and waited for the food to be served.
"This era is still interesting. The proles are the masters of the country.”Ma Hua, who had been infertile for two lifetimes, sighed.
A few minutes later, the waiter brought the plates over, neatly arranged the plates, and turned around to leave!
Ma Hua didn't mind. He was the same in the factory.
Looking at the oily fat, Ma Hua's saliva flowed and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"The heavens have mercy! A few months of vegetarian food had forced Hua Ma to change his diet.
In the past, Ma Hua didn't even look at fat meat, but now he only wanted fat meat to be free!”
Ma Hua picked up a piece of red braised pork with fat and lean meat and put it in his mouth. The huge piece of meat was fat but not greasy. It sizzled with oil when he took a bite!
"Oh!" Ma Hua heaved a sigh of relief.
"It feels good! Satisfied! How blissful."
Ma Hua couldn't be bothered to comment on his colleague's cooking skills at the moment. He only wanted to eat the two plates of meat in front of him.
……
After eating and drinking his fill, Ma Hua left the restaurant with a bulging stomach.
This meal was not cheap. It cost more than five yuan, which was enough for an ordinary person's monthly living expenses.
Ma Hua slowly paced around and looked around to digest his food!
When he returned to the courtyard, he didn't see anyone. He lay on the brick bed and rested for a while. Ma Hua had something to do at night!
Near evening, Ma Hua heard Yan Fugui's proud laughter."
"Mother, come out quickly! Look at my harvest today!"
After a few seconds, Third Aunt shouted happily,
"Old Yan, you're really amazing. You caught four fish.”
Yan Fugui was unhappy.
"Six or seven catties? Let me tell you, according to my many years of fishing experience, it's at least nine catties.”
"I'll look for He Daqing tomorrow. He's the kitchen storer, so he definitely needs this. When the time comes, I'll exchange it for some money to subsidize the family!”
Yan Fugui was scheming.
"As the old saying goes,'You won't be poor if you don't eat, you won't be poor if you don't wear, you won't be poor if you can't calculate!'You should learn well!"
Third Aunt had been taught by his words and deeds, so she naturally agreed with her husband's point of view and nodded deeply.
Hearing the conversation between Yan Fugui and his wife in the courtyard, the other residents in the front yard also came out to watch the commotion.
Yan Fugui was extremely happy as he listened to the compliments. He kept buying his fishing experience points.
Ma Hua lay on the bed and didn't intend to watch the show. Anyway, Old Yan wouldn't even give others a mouthful of fish soup, so there was no need to go up!
As night fell, the courtyard returned to silence. Ma Hua looked at the time on his panel and waited quietly…
It was midnight, and the night was dark and windy.
Ma Hua wrapped his face with a scarf in the house, changed into clothes he rarely wore, and quietly left the courtyard house.
The courtyard house was unguarded most of the time at night.
Ma Hua did not stop along the way. After walking for half an hour, he saw a guarded alley in the distance.
After paying 10 cents, Ma Hua successfully passed through the alley.
Yes, it was obvious that this was a medium-sized " pigeon market."
Actually, Pigeon City didn't sell pigeons. This was a trading point for small amounts of unexpected materials.
Now that there was a shortage of resources, as long as the amount of resources traded was not large, the officials would turn a blind eye to it.
Of course, the premise was that he would not be reported or caught.
When he was caught red-handed, he would naturally be charged with "speculation".
Many villagers from the surrounding villages came here to exchange for some local specialties. The city people who came here were here for these supplies.
Ma Hua walked and stopped along the way, asking the price of the poultry he saw.
After a few rounds of comparison, Hua Ma chose a stall.
"I want two chickens and two ducks, one male and one female.”
The stall owner with rough skin on his hands immediately quoted a price.
"Two chickens and two ducks, a total of five yuan.”
Ma Hua didn't bargain. The price was fair and didn't cheat anyone.
"Do you have pigs and sheep?" Ma Hua asked again.
The man lowered his voice and answered yes.
Ma Hua was a little surprised. He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect there to really be one.
"What's the price?"
The stall owner secretly made a gesture.
Ma Hua didn't say anything else. He paid the money, picked up the chicken and duck, and turned around to leave.
Tears streamed down her face in her heart.
"I'm still too poor! If the heavens could give me a chance, I definitely wouldn't say anything!”
Ma Hua, who understood his own economic situation, had no choice but to shelve the idea of buying large livestock.
However, Ma Hua did not intend to use the space to make a huge profit. He was quite satisfied with his current life.
He put the chickens and ducks into a gunny sack, picked an empty area, put them into the space, and then left Pigeon City.
On the way, Ma Hua changed his clothes and kept changing directions. He took a detour back to the courtyard house.
After closing the door, Ma Hua entered the space.
At this moment, the chickens and ducks had already run out of the sacks and scattered to the half acre pasture, looking for food heartlessly.
Ma Hua looked at this scene and imagined the scene of " lowering his head to see cows and sheep ". He couldn't help but be happy.
The wheat field beside him was already bearing fruit. The green wheat had begun to head. It was estimated that the second harvest would be in another month.
The fruit forest there had also undergone a huge change. Small fruits hung under the layers of tree crowns, and those that did not bear fruit had colorful fruit flowers.
It seemed that he was not far from realizing his dream of fruit freedom!
Ma Hua didn't stay in the space.
Ever since the temperature in the outside world rose, Ma Hua began to sleep in the outside world. This way, it was more stable!
Ma Hua hung the scarf that he had used to cover up on the wardrobe and prepared to go to sleep.
Moonlight shone on the ground outside the house. The water tank in the middle of the courtyard was gently touched by the breeze, and the surface of the water rippled and glistened…
The entire courtyard fell into a deep sleep in the night, and the bright moon hung in the sky.
Ma Hua's breathing gradually stabilized, and his body began to repair itself.
