Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

buzzing...

A surge of heat spread throughout Liu Aiguo's entire body.

In the blink of an eye, he had learned how to cook all the different cuisines.

This……

It felt like a dream.

unreal.

So that's how I learned it? I've become the world's top chef?

I can't believe it.

Let's make a dish and try it first!

With nothing to do that evening, Liu Aiguo retrieved an old hen from the system.

Slaughter, scald, and remove feathers from the chicken, then clean it.

All in one go.

It was all over in less than ten minutes.

The best way to enjoy an old hen is to make chicken soup.

Liu Aiguo turned on the coal stove and began to simmer chicken soup.

At the same time, the earthen stove was also lit to stir-fry vegetables.

It's still scrambled eggs with scallions.

Unfortunately, the system was only activated a few days ago, and many things haven't had time to be planted yet.

It's good enough if we can have scrambled eggs with scallions.

Half an hour later, the rich and flavorful chicken soup was ready.

On the small square table, there is a bowl of chicken soup, a stir-fried dish, two steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and water, and a small glass of wine.

It's incredibly moisturizing.

Outside, the beasts in the courtyard were practically drooling with envy.

"It smells so good... What is Liu Aiguo eating again? Stewed chicken, is this?"

Aunt Er next door looked at Liu Aiguo's house with envy.

Even in the middle of summer, the doors are all wide open.

The light bulbs in Liu Aiguo's house have a high wattage, so you can see what's going on in Liu Aiguo's house from a long distance.

A pot of chicken soup, and a scrambled egg.

It was right there in front of me.

Aunt Er was so envious she was practically drooling.

The two sons craned their necks to look into Liu Aiguo's room.

Every half day!

Although Old Liu's family earned a high salary, without meat and egg coupons, it was impossible for them to eat meat or eggs.

“Dad…” Liu Guangtian said, “Being a purchasing agent is such a good job. When I grow up, I want to be a purchasing agent too…”

"Snapped……"

Liu Haizhong slapped Liu Guangtian on the head: "You think being a purchasing agent is so easy?"

Xu Damao, who lived next door, glanced longingly at Liu Aiguo's room.

At this time, Xu Damao was not yet married, and his family's living conditions were very difficult.

The Jia family not only envied them, but also felt jealousy and hatred!

……

Early the next morning!

After Liu Aiguo finished setting up the system, he went to his workplace to hand in the eggs.

No more, no less, a thousand.

This stunned the logistics director.

To say you caught a thousand a day is pure luck.

A thousand in two days, that takes real skill.

“Aiguo…” Director Huang looked at Liu Aiguo nervously and said, “Tell me honestly, where did you get this stuff from? You didn’t get it from farmers, did you… You must have some other connections…”

"Hehehe..." Liu Aiguo chuckled: "You don't need to worry about that. Let each do their own thing. If Director Huang thinks this stuff is of dubious origin, I'll stop working on it starting tomorrow!"

"It's...it's...how could it not be correct!" Upon hearing this, Director Huang quickly said, "Never mind, never mind, I won't ask next time...By the way, Director Li from the Women's Federation wants to see you. Go over there, it's good news!"

good thing?

Liu Aiguo scratched his head: What good news is it?

But since the Women's Federation has come to my door, they're probably here to play matchmaker for me.

Liu Aiguo went to the Women's Federation.

Director Li is a father and daughter in their forties. She is a very warm-hearted person and takes great care of the factory's employees' affairs.

"Director Li... Hello..." Liu Aiguo walked into Director Li's office with a smile, his hand trembling slightly as he took out two jin of peanuts and tossed them onto her desk: "I brought some small things from my trip to the countryside, just for you. Take them home for your children to try..."

Peanuts are also a good thing at this time.

"Oh..." Director Li was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Patriotism... I knew you were a good young man!"

"Come, come, sit down..."

"I've arranged a marriage for you. The girl's father is a retired, long-time employee of our company... Don't worry, I've seen the girl, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. She's beautiful, virtuous, and efficient!"

"It's Friday today... How about you two meet up tomorrow at our house?"

Director Li was very enthusiastic.

Liu Aiguo nodded and said, "Okay... thank you very much, Director Li..."

"Okay, that's settled then, you can get back to work!"

Liu Aiguo left the factory and rode his bicycle towards the countryside.

It's Friday, but I still need to go to the countryside to do some cleaning.

Although we no longer have to worry about eggs.

However, his ten acres of grassland in the system are still empty... there isn't a single wool in them.

We need to find a way to get some cattle and sheep from the villagers.

Chapter 011 There are cows, sheep, and pigs.

Jingle Bell……

Amidst the envious gazes of countless people, Liu Aiguo rode his bicycle, with a carrying basket tied to each side of the back seat, and sped out of the steel rolling mill.

The security guard at the gate saw it from afar and hurriedly opened the gate for him.

These days, not many people own bicycles, and there aren't many people in the factory who don't know Liu Aiguo.

Head west along Hongxing Road!

Before long, the city's prosperity disappeared. What would later become a place where land was incredibly valuable was now a desolate wasteland, with vast stretches of barren land and farmland.

Apart from the city of Beijing, the outer area was entirely rural.

The people of Beijing at this time naturally did not have the arrogance of later generations.

Jingle Bell……

Liu Aiguo visited each household.

Business is particularly bad early in the morning and forenoon because people are all out working in the fields at that time, and very few people are at home.

The busiest time is around lunchtime.

Liu Aiguo simply found a shady spot, set up his bicycle, took out a water bottle from the system, drank water and smoked at the same time, while watching the busy farmers in the fields.

Soon, several grown men came over and struck up a conversation with Liu Aiguo.

There's no other reason than that bicycles, which were a rare sight even in Beijing at that time, were even rarer in the countryside.

Everyone's here to see the peep show!

"This must be a bicycle... I saw it when I came to town..."

"Hey hey hey... Young man, I know you. You're a purchasing agent from our city, right?"

"Yes, yes, he's the purchasing agent, Purchasing Agent Liu!"

Four or five people greeted Liu Aiguo.
