Chapter 1198 The human touch of the large courtyard

Aunt Meng didn't come back after a long time. The other old men seemed to be used to it, and Gu Zi played mahjong and chatted about gossip.

"When did they fight with each other for a long time? Liyan was still worried when Lao Meng was there. Now Lao Meng is gone, and Aunt Meng can't suppress her. It will definitely make a big fuss!" An old man said with a clarity.

"Old Hu, you live in the same yard as the Meng family. You must know a lot of things. Lina really hooked up with a rich man?" Mr. Liu asked with interest.

"I don't know, but the Meng family's food has been up to standard recently. They made fried shrimps last night, which was delicious!" Mr. Hu licked his lips, looking salivating.

Tang Xiaonan became more and more funny when he heard it. Xijiangyue Alley is not all villas, there are many chaotic slums. More than a dozen families live together, and there are public toilets with good conditions. Those with poor conditions can only use toilets. When it is not dawn, they will come to collect the night fragrance regularly.

I only collect it once a day, and it is very early. Usually it is almost dawn. It is fine in summer and it is really tormenting in winter. If I forget to pour the night fragrance, I have to wait for the next day.

Although Songcheng was a first-class city in the country at this time, the housing conditions of many residents were really poor. It was quite good for a family of five or six to have a small house of about ten square meters. Many people dare not think about the luxury of a household toilet. It would be thankful for a public toilet.

Also, the kitchen is also public, usually four or five households, and seven or eight households. Many families are crowded in the same kitchen, and the stoves are separated. When cooking, they go to the public faucet to wash the vegetables and take them to the public kitchen to cook.

Although it is inconvenient, there are also different feelings.

For example, if a family cooks good dishes, such as braised pork, shrimp, fried hairtail fish, stewed pork ribs and other hard dishes, they will gain a lot of envy in the kitchen, because at this time every household is not rich, and they are usually light vegetarian dishes, so it is a luxury to be able to eat meat.

Although the housing conditions in the slums at this time were very poor, the human touch was also very human touch. In later generations, every household was a unique family, with its own bathroom and kitchen. The conditions improved a lot, but the human touch was really weak.

There may even be cases where you have lived face to face for several years but don’t know each other.

The kitchens of the Meng family and Hu family are shared, so Mr. Hu knows very well what dishes the Meng family eats for each meal, and the others are very greedy when they hear it. The scallions and shrimps are fried, this is a high-end dish.

Mr. Hu also compared his fingers, "Big shrimp, so long and so big, one is enough for me to drink two taels of old wine. Aunt Meng cooked six, six, that smelled... the whole building was smelled."

"Six shrimps of this size are not cheap, they cost about ten yuan. Lina has really caught a rich man this time, and Aunt Meng has made it through." The others enviously said.

"Don't say it too early. I'm not married yet. Who knows if it will end?" an old lady said disdainfully.

There was a vague crying sound from afar, with sharp and harsh sounds, and several old men shook their heads together.

"Every time Lina loses, Liyan is polite to outsiders, but she can't figure it out with her own sister. I don't know why she is quarreling this time."
