National Beer

"I'll introduce this young man," Mei Yuxiu smiled gently, "Qin Dong, Qinwan Rongya Brewery, am I correct?"

Qin Dong held the old man's hand and nodded excitedly.

"He has an understanding of the beer industry and has a broad vision." Mei Yuxiu held his hand and did not let go. "The Japanese wanted to sell us a can production line, but Xiao Qin voted to veto..."

"Oh, where are so many carrots and cabbage?"

When Du Yuan walked to the entrance of Zhongjiawa’s Hutong, he saw piles of cabbage, radishes and green onions on the ground. In winter, the cabbage was really not enough to eat. The cabbage was broken and the good leaves had to be picked out. It's not just Du Yuan's family, but every family is like this.

"Qin Dong was given it by someone." Liu Zhi looked at the vegetables on the floor, and felt very ironed in his heart. If you are not in charge, you don't know that firewood is expensive, and there is no food to worry about her cooking.

Du Yuan murmured, but the willow branches let the north wind blow away before he heard clearly...

"Lao Du, look at this radish crispy," the neighbors gathered around. One neighbor rubbed the mud on the radish with his hands, broke a radish, handed it half of it to Du Yuan, and took a bite by himself. It's crispy and delicious."

"Eat radish in winter and ginger in summer. You don't need a doctor to prescribe a prescription." Du Yuan also took a bite. It was indeed crispy and spicy. "Come on, I will pickle some pickles, hey, willow branches, who is this for?"

"Dadong said, let everyone divide, take whatever is lacking in the house," Liu Zhi said gently, "Don't dislike the big guy, take it home by yourself!"

"Willow branches, really let us take it? Then I'll take it seriously..." The neighbor who bit the radish immediately smiled.

"I'm so sorry..." An aunt said, already holding four Chinese cabbage in her hand.

"You are here, I will go home to push the car..." A man yelled to his wife and ran towards his home.

Liu Zhi smiled. The vegetables from the three large carriages were unloaded at the entrance of the alley. The young and old in Zhong Jiawa's house were all alarmed. In this way, everyone can get some vegetables in every household.

"Hey, run... go home and get the sack!" Du Yuan smiled and patted a child's ass, watching everyone live in full swing with joy.

Those who carry sacks, those who push bicycles, those who push wheelbarrows... the dishes are all good dishes, don't have to pick and pick, just make them at home!

"Thank you, Willow Zhi. We have many families. Now we can solve the big problem in our family." An old lady took Willow Zhi's hand and said with gratitude.

"It's okay, grandma, they are all neighbors. Dadong used to wear your clothes." The children in this family are older than Qin Dong, and they wear the rest of the clothes to Qin Dong.

"Dadong, this kid is really promising, who would have thought...so promising." A neighbor wanted to say that Qin Dong was also a gangster before, but he swallowed again.

"Then we will follow Dadong. From now on, no one is allowed to tell me that Dadong is not good..." The grandmother waved a stick and said majesticly.

"Then we will say that he is good from now on. It's all compliments, okay, grandma?" Someone teased the old lady, and Du Yuan looked at him.

Eating the radish, he thought of the key, he prepared pickled radish, where is this radish?

"Brother Du." Liu Zhi smiled and stopped Du Yuan who was going to pick up the radish. "Dadong has already sent someone to his home."

Oh?

Du Yuan was taken aback, then grinned openly, "This kid..."

...

The darker the sky, the stronger the north wind.

Du Xiaoju entered the yard, set off his bicycle and ran into the house, and saw the neatly piled cabbage under the eaves. "Mom, did you buy so many cabbage?" The stove in the house was warm, and Du Xiaoju took off his scarf. , I saw Du Yuan cutting carrot sticks on the chopping board by the fire.

His knife skills are very good, the radishes are cut very evenly, one by one is crystal clear and transparent, neatly stacked on the cutting board

"The cabbage is distributed in the Dadong factory, and Dadong let Daguang pull three large carriages for Zhongjiawa alone," Xiaojuma smiled and walked over, "Our two families are separate carts."

Xiaojuma opened the door, and in the east wing, there was no longer enough food, there were cabbage, radishes, green onions, spinach and leeks...and a bunch of sweet potatoes...

"So many!" Du Xiaoju exclaimed, rubbing his cold hands.

"It's so much," Xiaoju Ma looked very relieved, "This winter, don't save money, we can have food to eat..."

"Then I'll go to Sister Zhi's house." Du Xiaoju walked into the room, put on his hat and gloves again, and Qin Dong stamped a stamp on her face in that dark movie theater. Now when I mention Qin Dong, I feel the same as before. Different.

She said she was visiting Sister Zhi's house, but it was actually to see if Qin Dong was back.

Xiaoju's mother didn't reveal it. After Du Xiaoju walked to the courtyard, she shouted in the house, "Will you come back for dinner tonight?"

"I see where the little tree eats." Du Xiaoju answered ambiguously.

...

In the winter in Qinwan, it is called a cold. The frozen thieves on the ground are strong, and the sea water near the shore is also frozen into various shapes. Walking in the alley, you will not be able to snot and tears, and your face will be pierced by the north wind. pain.

But the winter in Qinwan was warm and warm, and when I came into the house, there was a hot stove. As long as it was not cloudy, the warm sun shone into the house, and people would breathe hot when they entered the house.

In the past few days, Du Xiaoshu and Zhong Xiaoyong, regardless of the wind and snow, followed the Americans’ buttocks. The Americans went to the carpet factory, and the Americans went to the national cotton factory. They also went to the national cotton factory. The Americans played basketball games. , They just guarded the door.

When they returned to Zhongjiawa, their cheeks were blushing from the cold, and they rushed towards the stove before they got off the cotton monkey.

"Sister Zhi, roast sweet potatoes?"

There were several red sweet potatoes lying on the burning stove cover, and the room was full of sweetness. Zhong Xiaoyong couldn't wait to pick up a sweet potato and blew his breath. The sweet potato was too hot, and his left and right hands were alternately surging.

Du Xiaoshu also took the sweet potato in his hand, endured the scalding and peeled the skin and took a bite. It was fragrant and sweet. After a day of freezing outside, it was really comfortable to eat a bite of the roasted sweet potato!

"Brother Dong."

As soon as Qin Dong and Qin Nan entered the hospital, Du Xiaoshu greeted them with sweet potatoes, "I made the most today, and the lighters are almost gone."

"How much?" Qin Dong looked at the kitchen. Willow branches were cooking. "Go, come in and say."

Du Xiaoshu untied his schoolbag and poured the money on the bed, "Hua La", "The renminbi is less than 1,000 yuan, and the US dollar is more than 200."

Oh, Qin Dong picked up the dark green paper ticket. This time, it was unexpected for him to earn so many dollars.Seeing that the faces of the two little guys were red with cold, but their spirits were more vigorous than before. In Du Yuan's words, "This is the right way."

The paper banknotes felt very different when twisted in his hand, "Brother Dong, tomorrow, the Americans are leaving." Du Xiaoshu's tone is very regrettable, and the feeling of making money these days is really cool.

"Then I will go with you tomorrow." Qin Dong smiled, "Bring all the lighters, regardless of whether the cigarettes or alcohol are separated. Tomorrow we will sell the lighters and beer together."

Tomorrow is the day when the citizens of Qinwan will board the ships to visit. Although some people can't get there, it is good to see these big ships from a distance. Although the weather is cold, it must be crowded.

"Xiaoshu and Xiaoyong don't leave tonight, I'll give it to your sister, "Sister, Dongge will make us stir-fried prawns with cabbage in the evening."

"Xiaoshu, Xiaoyong, Xiaonan, come and peel me a few cloves of garlic." Du Xiaoju didn't speak, but Liu Zhi first shouted.
