Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 93 Help Lei Jie solve his work

It was already noon when the two of them bought almost everything and went back.

From a distance, Liu Yue was seen standing under the eaves, looking around.

Jiang Chen said: "Hey, how long have you been here?"

Liu Yue said: "It's been a while. I originally wanted to help, but none of you were here."

Jiang Chen said: "When you come, just push the door and go in. It's not locked. It's so cold outside."

Liu Yue shook her head: "That's not good."

He Yuyu looked at Liu Yue: "Sister-in-law, have you changed into new clothes? You are so beautiful!"

Jiang Chen glanced at it. The thick cotton-padded jacket was indeed better than the previous one, but it had nothing to do with being beautiful.

Liu Yue chuckled: "After I got paid, I went to buy clothes."

"It's a pity that my salary last month was not high, so I can only buy this one."

Jiang Chen said: "Okay, come in quickly, have something to eat for lunch, and let's start making preparations."

Even if He Yuyu fried two dishes at will, they were still very delicious.

After eating, several people immediately started busy.

Wash and cut vegetables.

When the onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments were ready, Jiang Chen went outside to load a large handful of briquettes.

When taking the charcoal, Jiang Chen took a glance at it, and sure enough, the charcoal placed in the upper right corner was already missing.

It seems that he has already arrived.

Look carefully at the ground, there are still footprints that are not completely covered.

But the footprints were not big, so they were probably not adults, but children.

Well, the one who came to get the carbon should be Bangge.

In this way, if you are caught, you can prevaricate by saying that a child is ignorant.

But Jiang Chen had no intention of catching the current situation.

After lighting the briquettes in the stove, Jiang Chen said to He Yuyu: "Yuyu, let's stir up the ingredients!"

He Yuyu was stunned: "I can't."

Jiang Chen said: "I'll give the command, just do as I say."

He Yuyu snorted: "Brother Chen, you know everything and do nothing. You deserve to be a leader."

Jiang Chen chuckled: "There is a gap between being able to cook and doing it well. Your brother can also cook, but the fried food is not as delicious as yours. This is your ability."

He Yuyu said: "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense. Tell me, how to do it?"

Jiang Chen said: "After the water boils, put the dried chili peppers in and cook for three minutes and let them dry."

As he spoke, he scooped up the spices that had been soaked in water and drained them.

He Yuyu was stunned again: "Boiled chili peppers? These chili peppers will become soft as soon as they are touched by water!"

Jiang Chen said: "Just do as you are told."

Under Jiang Chen's command and cooperation, the two began to fry the hot pot base.

"After the peppers are dry, take out some of them and chop the rest."

"Put in butter, heat the oil to three levels, then add spices and green onions, and stir-fry over low heat until they turn brown."

"When stir-fried like minced garlic and ginger, the aroma will come out."

"Add Sichuan peppercorns and fry until they change color."

"Put in the bean paste and boil out the red oil."

"Put in the peppers, both minced and whole."

"After the water evaporates, add sugar, just a little bit, and stir-fry until the aroma comes out."

"Okay, that's it! Put it on a plate and set aside."

Liu Yue was quietly flipping duck intestines on the side, instead of getting up to check the progress in the pot.

The scene is very warm, this is what home should be like.

He Yuyu sniffed: "It seems to be really fragrant, and the fishy smell of butter is gone."

Jiang Chen chuckled: "That's necessary, and we don't care who is in charge."

While talking, Luo Xue and Lei Jie arrived.

Luo Xue opened the door directly and took Lei Jie to the kitchen: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Then, he saw Liu Yue standing aside, and his expression changed slightly.

Jiang Chen said: "You are here, find a place to sit by yourself."

Luo Xue said: "I'm here to help, where do you need me?"

Jiang Chen said: "Then you go to turn duck intestines with Liu Yue?"

Luo Xue looked at the duck intestines and frowned.

The thing looked sticky and dirty, and there was daddy inside, which made my stomach churn.

Jiang Chen saw this and said, "How about you cut the meat? Cut the beef into slices, don't make it too thin."

"Okay!" Liu Yue felt relieved and picked up the kitchen knife. Lei Jie said: "Brother, is there anything you need my help with?"

Jiang Chen said: "Let's go smoke a cigarette together!"

Arriving in the outer bedroom, Jiang Chen threw the cigarette to Lei Jie: "Are you busy recently?"

Lei Jie sighed: "What are you busy with? It's cold and we can't start work at all. My dad doesn't have any jobs anymore."

"The three of us were staring at each other at home all day long."

Jiang Chen said: "Our factory's security department is recruiting people, do you want to go?"

Lei Jie's eyes lit up, then dimmed: "The recruitment requirements for the Security Department are very high. I have never been a soldier and have no military knowledge, so they won't want me."

Jiang Chen said: "The chief of the security department owes me a favor. If you want to go, I can help you go there. It shouldn't be a big problem."

"Of course, the premise is that you want to go and then work there in a down-to-earth manner."

Lei Jie hesitated: "But in this case, I owe you a huge favor."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "I'm just asking you, are you going?"

"Go!" Lei Jie replied firmly.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Wait for me at the factory gate on Tuesday morning. Be early."

Qi Fei might not be available on Monday, so we made an appointment directly for Tuesday.

Lei Jie nodded: "Okay! Thank you, Brother Chen!"

Jiang Chen said: "Thank you. I see that you are practical and hard-working. If I introduce you, I will definitely be proud of you in the future."

"Go and do your best."

Lei Jie nodded: "Okay!"

After a long silence: "Brother Chen, I want to go home first and tell my father the news so that they can be prepared."

Jiang Chen said: "What a panic. Let's go back and talk after eating."

"Actually, there is nothing to prepare. Just go back and wash your hair and tidy yourself up a little."

Lei Jie said: "It's okay, I have fast feet and will be back soon. They have been waiting for me to have a job for a long time, so of course they have to tell them such good news as soon as possible."

Jiang Chen said: "Okay, go slow on the road and don't fall. If your leg becomes lame, it will be really difficult tomorrow."

Lei Jie said: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

After saying that, he opened the door furiously, turned around and left.

Along the way, I wanted to fly, but I was still thinking about Jiang Chen's words just now, so I took every step carefully for fear of falling.

Seeing her son open the door and come in, Lei's mother frowned and said, "Didn't you go to Jiang Chen's place with the elementary school to eat hot pot? Why did you come back so soon and be so fussy?"

Lei Jie said happily: "Mom, I found a job!"

Lei's mother was stunned: "Why have you found a job? You look down on the bad ones, and the good ones don't want you. Where can you find a job?"

Uncle Lei also came over with concern: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Lei Jie relayed what Jiang Chen had just said to his parents.

After hearing this, Uncle Lei sighed: "At that time, I said that Jiang Chen is a good kid and can be dealt with. As long as you do things beautifully, people will definitely think of us when something good happens to them."

"Look, I'm right! My Lao Lei's eye for judging people is spot on!"

Lei's mother said: "You're still bragging. If you could have spoken to Wen Wan earlier, Xiaojie wouldn't be able to find a job now?"

"Besides, is this reliable? The Security Department is not that easy to get into."

Uncle Lei said: "As a woman, if it is convenient for Wen Wan to help, it goes without saying that she will help. It's hard to say for other people, but this is what Xiao Jiang said. I think it is reliable. This work is inseparable. .”

"Speaking of which, I helped you. If you don't show off there, what are you doing here?"

Lei's mother said: "Look what you two are doing. I've helped you a lot, but in the end it's someone else who is treating Xiao Jiang to dinner. You guys are too kind."

Lei Jie said: "I rushed back in a hurry. In addition to telling you the good news, I just wanted to discuss with you how to thank Brother Chen."

As soon as this issue came up, the old couple was in trouble.

What can I thank you for?

There seems to be nothing that can be done at home.

You say take the money. If someone installs a house and adds furniture, it will cost more than 300 at any time. Besides, the family can't afford much money.

You said you should give me something, but there is nothing to give.

After a long while, Uncle Lei said: "The best way for you to repay me is to work hard and be able to help Xiao Jiang when he needs it in the future."

"From now on, you will treat Xiao Jiang as your biological brother. Be smart, walk around more when you have nothing to do, see what he has to do, and be smart with your hands and feet."

Lei Jie nodded: "I know this."

"It's just that when he and Xiaoxue get married in the future, should I call Xiaoxue sister-in-law or sister?"

Lei's mother reached out and tapped Lei Jie's forehead: "You kid, why don't you understand? You must call me sister-in-law."

Uncle Lei said to Mother Lei, "By the way, I've left a jar of good wine there. Go get it and bring it to Xiaojie."

Lei Jie was stunned: "Dad, your wine was a reward from the palace. It's been a few years, are you willing to part with it?"

Uncle Lei smiled and said: "There is nothing to be reluctant to give up to someone who is worthy of letting go."

Lei Mu nodded: "Okay, I'll get it!"
