Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 12
Deputy Factory Manager Li looked at the plate of braised pork carefully, and thought the color was good, but he didn't know how the taste was.

With a skeptical attitude, Deputy Director Li took a piece and put it in his mouth.

In the end, Deputy Director Li said with slightly bright eyes

"I don't eat less braised pork.

But this is the first time I’ve seen someone who can cook braised pork to this extent.”

Deputy Factory Manager Li took another piece and ate it, but felt unsatisfactory and ate another piece.

After eating thoroughly, Deputy Director Li touched his belly and said

"Yes, very good. Now I believe that your sea cucumber roasted with green onion must be trustworthy.

Do you remember to go to the leader's house with me the day after tomorrow to cook for the leader to taste?"

Li Lin heard this and said

"Good Le"

Li Lin was very happy to have successfully won the opportunity to meet the leader.

Because it means that Li Lin can get on the line of the big leader.

Li Lin hummed a ditty and rode his bicycle away from the factory, because Deputy Factory Manager Li thought he had given him half a day off.

He happened to be able to go to Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Erhu to play.

By the way, I will make up for the celebration meal I told them before.

Li Lin came to the door of the second uncle's house and knocked on the door.

The second aunt opened the door and saw Li Lindao
"Li Lin, are you here to see Guangtian and Guangfu?"

The reason why the second aunt asked such words was because Li Lin used to come to see Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu often, but since he started working, he seldom came to look for them.

Li Lin said
"Yes, Second Aunt, I wonder if you can help me call them out."

The second aunt turned around and yelled into the house

"Guangtian Guangfu come out quickly, Li Lin is looking for you guys"

Footsteps could be heard coming from inside the house.

After a while, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu appeared in front of Li Lin.

"I thought you had forgotten us brothers. You haven't come to play with us for so long."

Liu Guangtian joked.

Li Lin said

"It's not like you don't know how busy I am recently.

I still have time today so I was able to ask you to come and play.

Now there are only two tigers left, let’s go find the two tigers.”

Liu Guangfu said

"Er Hu is not at home, he is helping the street office move things.

I don’t know when the move will be over”

Li Lin heard this and said

"Then when will he finish moving?"

Liu Guangfu shook his head and said
"I'm not sure about this, it should have something to do with the quantity of goods"

Li Lin thought for a while and said
"Then do you know where he moved? Let's go there and wait for him"

Liu Guangtian said

"Nature knows"

After that, the group came to the place where Erhu moved his things.

After Erhu saw them and greeted them, he continued to move things.

Li Lin and the others did not disturb Er Hu, they just sat aside and waited.

It took a while for Erhu to finish moving the things.

After receiving the salary, Erhu came to Li Lin and said

"Brother Lin, why do you have time recently, can you invite your brothers to play?"

Li Lin said

“It’s true that I’ve been a little busy lately.

Alright, enough gossip, let’s treat me to a restaurant to celebrate my finding a job.”

Li Lin and his party came to the restaurant.

The waiter watched as a young man came into the restaurant.

But some don't believe that they are here to order food, and some suspect that they are here to make trouble.

After all, their clothes don't look like they are rich people coming to the restaurant.

So he said with a very bad attitude

"I wonder what you want to order?"

Li Lin sat down and said
“A plate of fried pork with chili, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of fried vegetables and tomato and egg soup.

Afterwards, it can be served with a catty of rice.”

The waiter recorded these things and said

"Pay first and then eat, a total of two yuan and three, and then two catties and three taels of food stamps"

Li Lin didn't have any ideas. After all, waiters in this era have such bad attitudes.

After all, the current waiter is one of the eight members, and those who eat public meals are different.

After the waiter left, Liu Guangtian said with some displeasure

“We spend money to enjoy ourselves, why do we feel that we have suffered a little bit?”

Li Lin said

"Okay, all the waiters are like this now, don't take it too seriously.

Anyway, we’re just here for dinner and nothing else.”

After a while the food was served.

After Li Lin clamped a piece, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Erhu started.

Because they were too short of oil and water, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Erhu ate with their mouths full of oil.

Li Lin's eating appearance seemed much normal. After all, the food at home was often improved.

Satisfied, Liu Guangtian walked out of the restaurant and said

“Finally experienced the feeling of eating meat to the fullest”

When Erhu heard this, he touched his belly and smiled contentedly.

He was even more miserable than Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu could at least have enough to eat, but he couldn't even eat enough.

Li Lin and his party came to the teahouse here in Shichahai to enjoy the scenery.

They used to lie on the grass and enjoy the scenery, but since Li Lin became rich, they all enjoyed the scenery in the teahouse.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and the two tigers like to enjoy the scenery is also because of Li Lin.

Because Li Lin often took them to enjoy the scenery, after all, Li Lin was a person in his 20s in his previous life.

He didn't want to play games with those little kids anymore, and Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Erhu were pestering him again, so he took them to enjoy the scenery.

After coming and going, they fell in love with admiring the scenery.

After going to the skating rink to play around, they went home separately.

As soon as Li Lin came to the door, he met a man who was off work.

Grandpa said

"Li Lin, have you done what Brother Dongxu asked you to do?"

Li Lin heard this and said
"Isn't there something to do today? And I can't rush to find nutritional supplements."

Grandpa continued to speak

"Dongxu's family is in trouble, you can help as much as you can."

At this time, of course Li Lin would not refute but could only agree.

Li Lin returned home and saw Li's mother putting dishes on the table.

Cornmeal steamed buns, a plate of fried cabbage and shredded potatoes, and a plate of pickles.

Li Lin didn't have any idea, after all, this was their usual meal.

This food is pretty good.

After eating and drinking, Li Lin continued to admire the starry sky.

He actually feels that life is very good now, he doesn't have to worry about food, and he doesn't have too much impetuousness in this era.

Because everyone lives in the same way in this era, and there is not so much to compare with.

In this era, spiritual needs are greater than material needs.

Second day

Li Lin went to Qinjiagou to purchase, but unfortunately he could only purchase twenty eggs and nothing else.

He bought these twenty eggs with his own money.

He didn't use the money from the factory, because he was going to give it to Jia Dongxu.

The leaders in the factory do not care about eggs when they run small stoves.

Li Lin carried the eggs back to the courtyard, and then came to the door of Jia's house.

There was a knock on the door of Jia's house, and it was Qin Huairu who opened the door.

Qin Huairu looked at Li Lin who was carrying the egg and said

"Li Lin, what are you doing here?"

Li Lin lifted the egg and said
"Didn't Brother Dongxu ask me to find some nutritional supplements for my sister-in-law?
It just so happened that I found some eggs and brought them to you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly said

"How much did you pay for it? My sister will make up for you."

Li Lin said

"It's not much, only fifty cents."

Qin Huairu took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to Li Lin, then took the egg from Li Lin's hand.

Qin Huairu said
"Sorry to trouble you, Li Lin."

Li Lin shook his hand to express that he was not troublesome, and then left.

Qin Huairu returned to the house and put the eggs on the table.

Jia Zhang looked at so many eggs and couldn't help being surprised and said

"Where did you get so many chickens?"

Qin Huairu explained
"It was Dongxu who asked Li Lin to find me some nutritional supplements."

When Jia Zhang saw this scene, she said

"This kid from the Li family is quite capable, able to get so many eggs.

But it would be nice if you could get an old hen, then you won't be short of nutrition."

Qin Huairu didn't say a word when he heard this, of course he knew that Jia Zhang was greedy for those two old hens of Li Lin's family.

But they definitely won't give it, because there are also pregnant women in their family.

Li Lin rode his bicycle back to the factory, and continued to sit in the procurement department to continue fishing.

He is a person who owns the system and only needs to take things out of the system to complete the monthly performance.

So he is very relaxed every day.

You don't have to work hard like other buyers to win relationships and buy supplies.

In the eyes of others, it was because of his deep relationship and wide connections that he was able to obtain so many supplies.

"Li Lin, Deputy Director Li is looking for you."

Secretary Wang came to the purchasing department and said.

Li Lin closed the book when he heard this, and followed Secretary Wang to Deputy Director Li's office.

Li Lin said

"I don't know if Manager Li has something to ask me for."

Deputy Director Li looked at Li Lin in front of him and said with satisfaction.
"Li Lin, how many dishes can you cook?"

There was nothing to hide, so Li Lin said

"The five dishes are braised pork in brown sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, sea cucumber with scallions, Sixi meatballs, and mapo tofu"

Deputy Factory Manager Li felt that there were few dishes when he heard this, but he couldn't help but said when he thought of the taste that day

“Slowly, people from other factories will come to our factory to talk about work issues.

So slow down and you can make braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, Sixi meatballs and mapo tofu"

Li Lin was stunned when he heard this, I'm not a cook.

The reason why I said that I can cook sea cucumbers with scallions is just to get on the ship of the big leader.

I'm not here to help you open a small stove.

But his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so Li Lin had no choice but to go down and get ready.

But before going down, Deputy Factory Director Li said another sentence

"Remember to make a larger portion for each dish, I'm afraid that there will be not enough to eat"

When Li Lin heard it, he could only say thank you, thank you for recognizing my cooking skills.

Li Lin came to the kitchen and happened to meet the canteen director.

The canteen director was very happy to see Li Lin's arrival and said
“Everything is ready, just waiting for you to cook.

Come with me and get what materials you need yourself."

Li Lin looked at the director of the cafeteria smiling so happily, and thought that this guy must also have to eat Xiaozao.

But it was hard for him. He was obviously a buyer but he was doing the job of a chef.

Silly Zhu's eyes were almost green when he saw Li Lin's arrival.

You must know that Xiaozao usually relies on him to do the job, but Li Lin came to take his place.

How could he not be angry?

After finishing cooking, he would take some home to eat.

But at this time, he didn't bring it to Qin Huairu, because Jia Dongxu didn't die.

He's not that interested in supporting other people's wives.

But he is interested in raising other people's children.

Looking at Silly Zhu's appearance, Li Lin didn't care much.

Because this is not his decision, it is the leader's decision.

Silly Zhu also knew this, so he did not vent his anger on Li Lin.

But no matter what, Li Lin robbed him of his job after all, so he was still very upset with Li Lin.

But when he thought of Li Lin's braised pork, his anger miraculously subsided again.

Because he realized that he might never be able to make such delicious braised pork.

As a craftsman, what you pay attention to is strength.

Li Lin is really good at braised pork.

However, he believes that other dishes should not reach the level of braised pork.

What if it really reaches the level of braised pork?
Then how can people live.

Every chef should have his or her own special skills.

Silly Zhu thinks that Li Lin's unique skill is braised pork.

Thinking of this, he became confident again. After all, he can cook many dishes, and he can handle every dish well.

Li Lin couldn't help being a little frightened seeing Sha Zhu's expression changing again and again.

This guy won't become stupid just because of this little stimulation.

But this can't affect Li Lin's cooking.

Li Lin prepared every dish and brought it to the private room by the canteen director himself.

Deputy Factory Manager Li sat in the private room and said with a smile
“I can guarantee that every one of you will be satisfied with the dishes this time.

If you are not satisfied, you can slap me."

When they heard this, the people sitting in the private room suddenly became interested.

It is obvious that Deputy Director Li is 100% sure.

"Okay, I just want to see what kind of food it is.

To be able to make you, Deputy Factory Manager Li, say such words."

"Me too, don't blame me if it doesn't taste good, we really slap you."

After hearing this, Deputy Factory Manager Li boasted again and said

"Don't worry, I will never break my promise"

"The dishes are here, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs"

The canteen director put the two dishes on the table.

"No way, it's just the most common home-cooked food, you actually told us that it will make us feel satisfied"

"Yeah, we usually eat this stuff a lot, how fresh can it be?"

Deputy Director Li said with a smile
"I can assure you that you have never tried this braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs.

Because this kind of braised pork and sweet and sour pork ribs are only available in our factory.”

"You blow so loudly, I have to taste it"

"Director Li, if we are really not satisfied with what we eat, you have to fulfill your promise."
