Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 40 Satisfaction
"Lao Yi, I just saw Li Lin carrying a piece of bacon weighing two kilograms. Otherwise, let's exchange the bacon with him."

The eldest mother said to the eldest uncle.

The uncle shook his head and said, "What can we exchange with him, meat is much more expensive than many things these days."

The aunt was speechless when she heard this. It seemed that they really had nothing to offer in exchange.

The uncle continued to say, "Slow down, I'll ask Shang Dongxu and I to go to Pigeon Market"

The aunt didn't refute when she heard this. After all, this was the only way they could do it now.

The third aunt was a little surprised and said at the dinner table, "I saw Li Lin bring back a piece of bacon just now, and the portion was quite large."

Yan Jiecheng was a little puzzled when he heard this and said, "Where did he get this bacon? It's difficult to eat enough now."

The third master said, "Li Lin is doing so well now, why can't he get a piece of bacon?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't find it easy to refute when he heard this.

The third uncle continued, "Jiecheng, I have been thinking about it recently. You can divide it up, as long as you give the family a sum of money every month."

Yan Jiecheng heard this and said in disbelief, "Dad, you are too realistic. Are you afraid that I will drag you down?"

It's no wonder that Yan Jiecheng has such an idea. In this era, people are basically huddling together to keep warm. If Yan Jiecheng had ever gone out, he would definitely not live as well as he does now.

Some people have doubts. If Yan Jiecheng went out to live alone, wouldn't it be better than living in partnership with the third uncle?

But don't forget that he still has to give the third uncle a sum of money. Although he is still giving money to the third uncle now, at least he has given him money so that he can eat at home.

If they break up, the pressure on him will increase.

For the third uncle, this is the best thing to do, because there is less food for two people in the family.

The third master will not admit it, "It's not that your job has been stabilized, you already have the ability to stand alone, so I have such an idea"

Yan Jiecheng obviously wouldn't believe this.

"Dad, what time period are you in now? It's better if we don't divide the households first."

The third uncle has already thought about this matter, so he will not give up easily.

"Let me settle an account with you. Is our food barely enough for our family now?"

Yan Jiecheng said "Yes"

Although it was indeed enough for their family to eat, they were still starving every day.

The third uncle continued, "If you are separated, will your rations cause you to starve to death?"

Yan Jiecheng said "No"

The third uncle heard this and said, "If I go out, my family will be slightly richer than before.

Your interests will not suffer any losses, and your family will gain benefits. What's wrong with this?"

Yan Jiecheng immediately quit his job after hearing this: "My family will definitely benefit, because if I am divided, I will have to hand over a sum of money and food to my family.

Doesn't this mean that the food expenses I originally paid to the family have become the pension money I gave to your elders, and I still have to bear the food expenses of me and my wife, which is my loss anyway."

The third master and Yan Jiecheng quarreled over this matter.

And Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law Yu Li looked at her father-in-law with dissatisfaction in her heart.

She really couldn't imagine how there could be such a person in this world, who even plotted against her own son.

Since the day when Yi Zhonghai was taken care of for the elderly, the Jia family's living standard has risen linearly.

Mrs. Jia Zhang finished a bowl of porridge and said, "When I was in the yard just now, I saw Li Lin took a piece of bacon. Dongxu, do you know how that piece of bacon came from?"

Jia Dongxu said, "Maybe it was rewarded by the leader. After all, Li Lin is highly valued by the leader now."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she said, "Dongxu, if you said that Li Lin has such a good relationship with the leader, can you ask him to change his position for you?"

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he looked at his hands with some unwillingness.

When Jia Zhang saw her son's appearance, she didn't know that she had hit his sore spot.

"Dongxu, don't think too much, I just want you to do an easy job"

Jia Dongxu heard this and said, "Mom, don't worry, I don't think about it in any direction, I'm just a little unwilling."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she said, "It's good that you can figure it out, but what do you think of my proposal?"

Jia Dongxu thought for a while when he heard this and said, "In my current situation, this is also a good way.

But how can we ask Li Lin to help us change positions?this is a problem"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang said, "We are all in the same yard, and we can't see each other without looking up. He should still help with this kind of help."

Jia Dongxu shook his head and said, "Although we are indeed in the same compound, brothers still have to settle accounts. If he helped me, he will definitely owe the leader people a favor. How can we repay this?"

Jia Zhang didn't have Jia Dongxu's idea, she would whoring for free if she could.

"As long as there is something going on at home in the future, we can just go and help."

Jia Dongxu said, "But how are you sure that Li Lin can help our family?
Just because we are from the same courtyard? "

In Jia Zhang's view, this is enough.

"Isn't it possible?"

Qin Huairu said at this time

"But our relationship with the Li family in this yard can only be said to be average, and we are not related to the Li family, why should they help us?"

Jia Zhang said, "Whether things will work out or not, you have to speak up to find out."

From Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu's point of view, this matter probably cannot be accomplished, after all, no one would owe others favors for no reason.

"In other words, this piece of bacon is in exchange for cooking for the workers in the factory tomorrow."

Mother Li said at the dinner table.

Li Lin said, "It's almost like this, but I only cook twice a week."

Li He heard this and said, "Wouldn't it be a good thing to have a good meal in the factory in the future?"

Li He has long been salivating for Li Lin's craftsmanship, but Li Lin doesn't cook much at home, and this is his only big regret.

Seeing Li He's appearance, Li's father immediately became angry, "I only know how to eat every day, have you studied what I teach you seriously?

Your two cousins ​​are already at the level of a first-class worker. I think if you give them some time, they will surpass you."

Li He heard this and continued to eat in silence.

Li Lin said, "Father, are you sure about tomorrow's seventh-level assessment?"

Father Li heard this and said, "Don't worry, I know what I know."

Mother Li said, "Your father has been working as a sixth-level fitter for many years. It's time for him to advance."

Li Lin said, "Is the eldest brother sure to become a fifth-level fitter?"

Li Shan shook his head and said, "Although dad taught me all the skills, I still haven't understood the essence."

Father Li said, "Don't worry, as long as you are given two or three years, you will definitely be able to reach the fifth-level fitter, after all, you are still very talented in this area.

Unlike some people who are neither talented nor willing to learn”

Li He heard this and continued to eat in silence.

At this time, He Yuyu was a little confused about his brother's appearance, because he could feel that his brother was a little different from usual.

Second day

The director of the canteen came to the technical department and called Li Lin out.

"The materials are now ready and waiting for you."

Li Lin didn't hesitate when he heard this and went to the kitchen with the canteen director.

Many people in the kitchen were curious about Li Lin's arrival.

Li Lin has a great reputation in the factory, especially in the area of ​​cooking, so people in the kitchen put down their work to watch Li Lin cook. Of course, they also have the intention to learn.

After Li Lin finished cooking, everyone looked at the canteen director.

The canteen director picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up Li Lin's stir-fried spicy and sour potato shreds.

In fact, at this time, he had no bottom in his heart. He knew that Li Lin's stir-fry was indeed delicious, but he didn't know how good Li Lin was at stir-frying in a big pot.

It wasn't until the moment of the entrance that his heart completely stabilized.

Although the quality is not as good as the stir-fry, it is still amazing. It is a rare delicacy.

"Yes, I believe the workers will be very satisfied. Everyone should try it."

Silly Zhu also picked up a pair of chopsticks, and put the hot and sour potato shreds in his mouth.

Silly Zhu also had to sigh that Li Lin's cooking was indeed more delicious than his own.

“Delicious, this is definitely the best spicy and sour potato shreds I have ever tasted.”

An aunt in the kitchen said full of praise.

"Yeah, why do I feel like I can't stop?"

The director of the canteen stopped the attempts of the people in the kitchen, "Don't taste it, and do what you have in hand first."

The canteen director continued, "Li Lin, can you cook other dishes?"

At this moment, the canteen director wished Li Lin could tell himself that he would also cook other dishes.

Li Lin shook his head and said, "No, you also know my situation."

The canteen director didn't force it when he heard this.

After Shazhu and the other chefs finished frying the vegetables, it was almost time for lunch.

The workers are now discussing matters about assessment.

"Master Li, you will be a seventh-level fitter from today on."

Many workers congratulated Father Li, and Father Li responded one by one.

Liu Haizhong looked a little disdainful at Father Li who was being surrounded by workers, as if he was not a seventh-level worker.

In Liu Haizhong's opinion, the reason why the workers were so ingratiated with Li's father was not because his son Li Linsheng was valued by the leaders in the factory.

Yi Zhonghai also had the same idea as him.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu vaguely. As for what kind of thoughts he had in his heart, no one knew.

"Today is really weird. Why is the director of the cafeteria personally preparing our meals?"

"If you don't ask, you will know"

A worker asked the canteen director
"Director, why are you the one cooking today? Is there anything delicious?"

How did the canteen director happily reply, "Don't you always complain about the poor food in the canteen? Although I can't change the food, I can still change the taste."

The worker was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Is there something new in the factory?"

The director of the cafeteria said, "Li Lin, you know, he made these spicy and sour potato shreds."

When the worker heard this, he immediately became interested, "Then I have to try these spicy and sour potato shreds. I have long heard that his craftsmanship is excellent."

The canteen director took the worker's lunch box and filled a big spoonful of spicy and sour potato shreds and said, "I believe if you eat it, you will definitely fall in love with the taste."

A worker who had just finished his meal looked at his co-worker devouring shredded potatoes.

"Is it really so fragrant? Why do you gobble it up?"

“This spicy and sour potato shreds is so delicious, I just can’t stop eating.”

Seeing how delicious his coworker's food was, the worker couldn't help but pick up shredded potatoes with his first chopsticks. The moment he entered his mouth, he couldn't stop.

The director of the cafeteria looked at the workers in the cafeteria immersed in the hot and sour potato shreds and couldn't help but said, "Now they probably won't report food problems to the factory anymore."

Everyone who is preparing the meal is worried whether the spicy and sour potato shreds have been prepared too much?Will it be gone by the time they get there?
But they didn't dare to beat less because the canteen director was watching.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu who stopped eating shredded potatoes and said, "Dongxu, why don't you eat?"

Jia Dongxu said, "I don't want to take it home and give it to my family to taste."

There are not a few people who think like Jia Dongxu.

Liu Haizhong ate hot and sour potato shreds and couldn't help but said with emotion, "No wonder Li Lin is so popular with the factory leaders. If I have this cooking skill, the factory leaders may have to confess me."

This was the first time Liu Haizhong had eaten food cooked by Li Lin. People in the factory had been spreading rumors about how delicious Li Lin's food was, but he never believed it.

Now he is completely convinced after eating it.

“Is my cousin’s cooking so delicious?”

Li Shugong and Li Shuwei ate hot and sour shredded potatoes with big mouthfuls.

Li He said with some pride, "How else could my brother be so popular with the leaders? Isn't it just because of his cooking skills?"

Father Li didn't sit with Li He and the others, but with the senior masters in the factory.

"The dishes made by your Li Lin are rumored to be amazing in the factory. When we ate them today, we discovered that the rumors in the factory were indeed not exaggerated."

Father Li said modestly when he heard this, "After all, it's just a dish."

"You can't say that. To be able to make such a delicious dish, you need to be very capable. Your Li Lin seems to be a very capable person."

"Yes, and your Li Lin is still a technician. There will be times when we need his help in the future. At that time, you have to give him a good talk."

When Li's father heard this, he said, "This is because my child is lucky to meet Mr. Yue, otherwise he would not have become a technician."
