Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 14 Oops, I'm a Cook

Li Lin returned home.

Li's mother heard a little about the movement outside and said,

"What did you go with Deputy Factory Manager Li today? Why did he drive you back?"

Li Lin took a sip of water and said
"Aren't you going to cook for a leader with Deputy Factory Director Li?

Then the leader is very satisfied, the leader is satisfied, and the deputy factory manager Li is naturally very satisfied, so he sent me back."

Mother Li said something unbelievable when she heard this.

"You have such a talent, you can actually cook for the leaders.

Why didn't I know you had this skill?"

Li Lin said

"To be honest, I have a master who taught me how to cook.

Every dish he teaches me is to make it perfect before he teaches me the next dish. Now I can only cook five dishes."

Mother Li said

"Five dishes are also fine, after all, each dish is made to the extreme, and each dish is unique"

Father Li obviously doesn't care about cooking, he only cares about the leadership, so he said

"What's the leader's impression of you?"

Li Lin said

"It should be considered very good, after all, he also asked me to make a new dish next time, so let him try it."

Father Li said hello several times, and then said

"Our family has also established a relationship with the leader, which will make it easier to do things in the future."

Li He never cares about these, he only cares about food
"That third brother, your brother, I also want to try dishes that can satisfy the leader."

Before Li Lin could refuse, Li's father refused.

"If you want me to cook for you, just go ahead and eat your shit.

Let me improve your work and then talk about it.

You said how long you stayed at Level [-] Worker, it should be two years."

Li He can only mumble softly
"I'm not as talented in this area as my elder brother."

It's a pity that Father Li heard about it
"I see that you put all your energy into eating"

Li Lin said
"By the way, deputy factory manager Li promised me a bicycle ticket tomorrow.

What should I do with this bicycle ticket? "

Li Lin didn't really need it, after all, he had a bicycle equipped in the factory.

Although the bicycles equipped in the factory are not big brands, they are enough to ride.

Li He and Li Shan didn't speak, they knew that they definitely had no part in it, after all, it was Li Lin who took it out.

Although Li's father is also greedy for bicycles.

I was thinking about riding a bicycle to see the scenery inside the factory, but finally I spoke.

"You can use this bicycle ticket yourself, you don't need it at home.

The family pays for you to buy a bicycle, but I’m afraid you’ll have to hand in all your monthly wages for a while.”

Li Lin thought for a while and said
"also"

He planned to give the bicycle to Xiao Ruoyan. After all, she was his wife and he couldn't treat her badly.

Men just want to spoil their wives.

Li Lin took the money from Mother Li's hand, washed up and went back to sleep.

"This is what Director Li asked me to give you."

Secretary Wang came to the procurement department and handed over the bicycle ticket to Li Lin.

After Li Lin took the bicycle ticket and thanked him, Secretary Wang left.

Everyone in the purchasing department was very curious. What did Secretary Wang give Li Lin?
However, they didn't ask any more questions. After all, Li Lin had only been in this purchasing department for a long time and was not very familiar with the people in the department.

Li Lin put the bicycle ticket in his wallet and continued reading to pass the time.

Soon it was time to get off work, and Li Lin did not choose to ride a bicycle.

Instead, I walked to the place where bicycles were sold.

Li Lin walked into the supply and marketing cooperative and came to the place where bicycles were sold and said
"Buy a bike"

Looking at such a young young man, the salesperson said in disbelief

"Do you have the money to buy a bicycle? But if you have money, you also need a ticket. Do you have both?"

Li Lin took out the ticket from his pocket and said

“How much does a Feige bicycle cost?”

The salesperson saw that Li Lin really had a ticket, so he said

"Feige brand two hundred yuan"

Li Lin handed the prepared money to the salesperson.

After checking that everything was correct, the salesperson took Li Lin to the place where the bicycles were sold.

"Choose one yourself, by the way, young man, are you married yet?

Why don’t you introduce one to you, it’s guaranteed to be pretty.”

Li Lin said

"I already have a fiancée, and I'll get married in two weeks."

The salesperson didn't speak when he heard this, but his attitude had dropped visibly to the naked eye.

Li Lin didn't pay much attention to it, he chose the one he liked and left.

Li Lin came out of the supply and marketing cooperative on a bicycle, and immediately became the most handsome boy on the street.

After all, the bicycles of the 60s are not as scary as the number of bicycles in the future.

Li Lin enjoyed the praises of people on the street and the caress of the wind, and soon returned home.

But before that, he went to the Public Security Bureau to back up his bicycle, stamped it with steel, and then received a bicycle notebook.

In this era, bicycles are equivalent to future cars, so they need to be backed up at the Public Security Bureau.

The third uncle couldn't help but said in surprise when he saw Li Lin riding a new bicycle.

"How long have you been working for? You just got a brand new bicycle, and it's a Feige brand. It must have cost a lot of money.

And don’t you have a factory-equipped bicycle at home?Why buy an extra bike?”

Li Lin got off the bicycle and said

"Didn't I go out with the leader yesterday and the leader was very satisfied?

Just reward me with a bicycle ticket.

And the family is not short of money, so I bought it.”

Hearing the last sentence, the corner of Third Master's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

I'm afraid only the Li Lin family, which has five employees, can say such arrogant words.

Li Lin carried the bicycle into the yard, which immediately aroused the surprise of the aunts in the yard.

The second aunt saw Li Lin coming in carrying a bicycle and said

“This bike shouldn’t be the one equipped in the factory, right?”

Li Lin replied

"No, I bought this bicycle because the leader in the factory gave me a bicycle ticket"

In this way, Li Lin told everyone where his car came from.

Just to avoid trouble in the future, after all, he doesn't want anyone in the yard to report that his bicycle is of unknown origin.

After all, there are already two bicycles in his house and in the factory, which inevitably arouses the jealousy of the people in the yard.

The third aunt watched reluctantly as Li Lin carried the bicycle back to Li Lin's home.

When will their family be able to have their own bicycle?

Li Lin's second sister-in-law and elder sister-in-law also came out to have a look when they heard the movement outside.

The sister-in-law was very surprised and stroked the bicycle lane
“Brand new, and it’s Feige brand”

The second sister-in-law also looked at the bicycle in surprise.

Li Lin parked his bicycle and said:

"Sister-in-law and sister-in-law, if you want to use a bicycle, just let me know.

After all, I often ride the bicycles in the factory.”

The elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law were overjoyed when they heard this, what a sight it would be to go out by bicycle.

And it would be even more beautiful to ride a bicycle when going back to her mother's house, so the two thanked Li Lin one after another.

When Father Li got home, he happened to see the Feige bicycle parked at the door, so he entered the house and said
"Did the third child come back from buying a bicycle?"

The sister-in-law said

"He wasn't home, he went out to play"

The second uncle was sitting in the room, really confused.

Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and Li Lin grew up playing together, so why are they not as promising as Li Lin?

"My wife, I just want to ask a question, why is there such a big gap between our son and Li Meng's son?

All the sons of Li Meng's family have jobs and are promising.

Especially the youngest son is more promising, able to get in touch with the leader

And the leader can also give him a bicycle ticket.

If I had such a son, why would I not be able to be a small leader?"

The second aunt said

"Everyone has their own destiny, we can't envy you"

The second uncle heard this and said again

"By the way, where is Guangtian Guangfu?"

The second aunt explained
"I went out to play with Li Lin"

The second uncle said excitedly at this time,
"These two boys have finally done a good thing, as long as they have a good relationship with Li Lin.

Let him say a few good words for me in front of the leader, so I can become a leader."

If you let Li Lin know, I'm afraid he will say that you want to fart.

At this time, Jia Dongxu dragged his tired body back home.

He is not only physically tired but also mentally tired.

He married Qin Huairu before the planned economy was implemented.

If he knew that such a day would come, he probably wouldn't have married Qin Huairu.

After all, now I have to worry about food every day.

And Qin Huairu has a rural household registration, and according to the promulgated regulations, the child born to him and Qin Huairu can only follow his mother's household registration.

As a result, almost all of his children have rural hukou, which undoubtedly increases his burden.

Fortunately, he has the help of a grandpa, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.

Although he complained a little in his heart, it was his wife after all, and he still didn't show it.

Jia Dongxu sat down and said

"Mom, when Huairu is pregnant, you want him to do less work, understand?"

Looking at Qin Huairu Jia Dongxu who was cooking, he said.

When Jia Zhang heard this, he could only nod reluctantly.

"understood"

Jia Dongxu said

"By the way, why is it so lively in the yard today, why are there so many people discussing there?"

Jia Zhang said

“It’s not like the youngest son of the Li family bought a Feige brand bicycle.”

Jia Dongxu also spoke after hearing this.

"Li Lin is quite promising, and he was able to get a Feige brand bicycle."

Jia Dongxu still has a good impression of Li Lin. After all, he bought twenty eggs for himself to supplement nutrition for his daughter-in-law.

But he was also very envious, thinking about it with his head, he knew where Li Lin got his bicycle ticket, it must be from the leader.

On the second day, what made Li Lin speechless was that although Li Lin's father didn't let Li Lin deliver the bicycle to his family.

But he actually rode the bicycle into the factory, and then received a burst of surprise and envy from the people in the factory.

Very Versailles

"Isn't this the relationship between the third child in my family and the leader?

So the leader rewarded the third child with a bicycle ticket.

Then my children saw how hard I was working in the factory, so they bought me a bicycle as a tribute, and it was a Feige brand."

By the time Li Lin knew the news, it was already time for lunch.

Li Lin's eldest brother told him.

The eldest brother said that he was too embarrassed to expose Father Li.

Just as Li Lin continued to fish, an unexpected person came in, and that was Director Yang's secretary.

"Who is Li Lin?"

Director Yang's secretary said.

Li Lin stood up and replied
"it's me"

Director Yang’s secretary came over and said
"Director Yang asked you to help cook a table of vegetables"

Li Lin was almost speechless. When did I become a cook?

Li Lin said

"May I ask if this is He Yuzhu's job? How could it fall on me?"

All he wants is an easy life.

Director Yang’s secretary said
“This is not the day when the people who eat your food go out and hype that our factory’s braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, Sixi meatballs, and Mapo tofu are the best.

This caught the attention of the factory manager, who happened to have a reception today.

So I asked you to make a table of dishes to try.”

Li Lin immediately understood that he was probably going to be miserable in the future.

Li Lin came to the kitchen and the canteen director happened to be here.

But it can be seen that Shazhu's expression on his face is even worse.

After all, this is the second time he has robbed Silly Zhu’s Xiaozao.

The fool looked at Li Lin in front of him and couldn't help saying

"When did you become a master?

And what weird rules that master set for you.

Only when one dish is cooked to the extreme, will the next dish be taught to you.”

Li Lin didn't have time to pay attention to Si Zhu, so he went straight to the kitchen to cook.

After finishing all the dishes, Li Lin rested in place, because he knew that if he slowed down, he would definitely be called in.

The canteen director carried the dishes in one by one.

Silly Zhu came in and said
"Boy, I was convinced by your braised pork that day, but I haven't tasted your other dishes yet, so I'm not convinced."

Li Lin said

"I don't want to come, silly Zhu, but the leader asked me to come, and you also know that the first rank of officials crushes people to death."

Shazhu heard this and thought it was a provocation. Isn't this saying that the leaders in the factory recognize Li Lin's craftsmanship?Don't you approve of his silly skills?

"Boy, when will we compete in cooking?"

Li Lin didn't have time to accompany the crazy Silly Zhu. Fortunately, at this time, Director Yang's secretary asked him to go to the private room to meet the leaders.

Director Yang said to Li Lin

“At first I thought the rumors were false.

But after I tasted it today, I found out that it is true, and it is more delicious than the rumors.

I heard that you can only cook five dishes. Is this true?"

Li Lin said
“Yes, I can only cook five dishes.

Because my master asked me to cook a dish to the extreme before I can learn the next dish."

Director Yang praised Li Lin again.

After a few more pleasantries, they left.
