When Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e came out again, the aunties in the courtyard had all gone home to cook. Even the third uncle, Yan Bugui, felt that it was cold and went back to the house to warm himself.
Furthermore, the winter in Beijing was extremely cold.
"Wife, it's so cold outside now. Why don't you stay at home and I'll go buy it myself?”Xu Damao said.
"No, I want to go with you because I haven't sat on our bicycle yet.”Lou Xiao'e blinked her eyes and said.
Hearing this, Xu Damao could only bring her along.
The first place they went to was the Chaoyang vegetable market, which was the closest to Tongluogu Alley. Most of the food here was potatoes. As for the meat market, there were people from the government watching it. They had to make sure that you had a ticket before they could sell you meat.
If one did not have a ticket and wanted to buy meat just by spending money, it would definitely not work in this formal meat market.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e wanted to buy mutton, and Xu Damao also had meat tickets. Moreover, this meat ticket could buy mutton, pork, chicken, duck, and fish meat, but not beef.
This was because cows were the foundation of farming. In addition, the various communities now treated their cows well and even had specialized people taking turns to take care of them.
Therefore, it was almost impossible to eat beef in this day and age. Moreover, compared to beef, at this time, everyone preferred to eat pork.
This allowed Da Mao to easily buy three catties of mutton with a ticket. He also brought one and a half catties of mutton bones and half a catty of mutton hooves. He spent a total of five yuan and a five catty meat ticket.
On the way back, Xu Damao bought some seasonings for mutton from the supply and marketing cooperative.
By the time they returned to the courtyard house, the couple was already carrying many bags.
However, there were not many people in the courtyard now because everyone had gone back to cook. At this time, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys of every household in the courtyard.
He had to admit that it was troublesome to deal with the smell of mutton. In addition, it would take several hours to stew the meat. After he processed the mutton, he put it directly in the pot to stew. Then, Xu Damao made some noodles for himself and Lou Xiao'e to fill their stomachs.
Because Lou Xiao'e hadn't eaten anything since lunch, she was really hungry now. At this time, seeing Xu Damao being so considerate and thoughtful, and Xu Damao was also busy stewing the mutton just now, she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart.
Congratulations to the host for successfully obtaining Lou Xiao'e's favorable impression: 5 points, Lou Xiao'e's favorable impression points were 55 points, which had been converted into 50 achievement points.
Seeing this, Xu Damao used the 50 achievement points to exchange for feed.
On the other side, the clay pot was slowly stewing mutton over a medium heat. On the other side, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were discussing the renovation of the house. Of course, in this day and age, the renovation could not be so magnificent and magnificent. As long as it was simple and warm enough, it would be fine.
Xu Damao's house now had two middle rooms, and Lou Xiao'e was thinking that if the rooms were made smaller, they could be divided into three small rooms. After all, the two of them would have children in the future, and they would definitely have to divide the rooms. Moreover, it was impossible for anyone to have only one child now, so they had to prepare two rooms.
In addition, all the houses could not be bought or sold now. They only had the right to use them, and they were still waiting to be allocated.
Xu Damao's idea was to expand it directly because there was still some space behind his house, and there was a dilapidated small house next to it. It was not only dilapidated, but it also had no windows. If he wanted to integrate it into his own house, he had to pass it in the courtyard first, and then he would apply to the neighborhood committee.
Moreover, the neighborhood committee would have to inform the streets, and the streets would have to inform the housing construction bureau. Anyway, there would be layers of approval. This would probably take a long time.
Moreover, even if he had a cheat, he could not do whatever he wanted in this era. Because in this era, he had to abide by some of the rules of this era.
They would probably go to Harbor City before the children grew up.
In the end, Xu Damao did as Lou Xiao'e said and directly renovated his house. Then, he scraped the walls with putty-paint and remade the furniture.
While Xu Damao and his wife were discussing how to renovate the house, the mutton in the pot also made bubbling sounds.
At this moment, Xu Damao's house and courtyard were filled with the fragrance of mutton. Moreover, this smell made people salivate.
The other people in the courtyard could only smell it. Only Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e ate with relish.
At this moment, in the middle court.
In the Jia family's house.
Jia Zhang-shi and her grandson naturally smelled this delicious aroma. At this time, both of them could not sit still.
"Grandma, I also want to eat that fragrant meat, fragrant meat.”The stick said to Jia Zhangshi, and then he pulled Jia Zhangshi along with the smell of the mutton.
Hearing this, Jia Zhangshi immediately guessed that the fragrance came from Xu Damao's family. She really didn't expect that after Xu Damao became the director of the canteen of the rolling mill, he would eat mutton.
"Good grandson, wait a moment. We'll call your mother over later and ask her to bring some back for us.”After Jia Zhangshi finished speaking, she was even more determined about the idea she had in the afternoon. She had to get Qin Huairu to look for Xu Damao today. She had to get Xu Damao to help the Jia family more in the future. It would be best if they could give all the good food and money they had to the Jia family.
At this moment, Qin Huairu was carrying cornbread and gruel out. Although she had also smelled the fragrance, she knew that it was coming from Xu Damao's family. Just now, she couldn't help but swallow a few times. She couldn't even remember when was the last time she had eaten meat.
She heard that this thing was mutton, but she was so old that she didn't even know what mutton tasted like.
"Mom, there's still a good meme. Let's eat.”Qin Huairu said as she thought of this. Then, she put down the cornbread and gruel.
