Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

This child always brings up things that are hard to say.

However, given Liu Aiguo's current prestige and status, Jia Zhangshi dared not retaliate.

Look at Grandpa Yi's house, the door is tightly closed.

Liu Aiguo pushed the cart to the backyard.

"Congratulations..." Lou Xiao'e said from afar, "Brother Aiguo, you've become a high-ranking official! I didn't hear you mention it when you came back at noon... You kept it a secret for a long time!"

Liu Aiguo laughed and said, "Well... what's the big deal... otherwise, wouldn't you say I'm showing off?"

Xu Damao also said, "Brother Aiguo...you'll have to carry my shoes more often from now on..."

"Okay!" Liu Aiguo smiled and went inside.

Uncle Liu Haizhong, carrying a plate of freshly fried eggs, came straight into Liu Aiguo's house without saying a word.

"Patriotism... no, no, no... Director Liu... to celebrate your promotion to Logistics Director of our steel rolling mill, and concurrently Deputy Director of the Revolutionary Committee... I've come to celebrate with you... come, have some food and drinks..."

As they were talking, Liu Haizhong placed the dishes on Liu Aiguo's table.

He also brought a bottle of Fenjiu liquor.

Liu Aiguo's forehead was also covered in black marks: This guy... damn, he really knows how to lick his bangs.

But Liu Aiguo knew that this guy definitely had something to ask for.

"Speak!" Liu Aiguo sat down and said calmly, "Second Uncle... what exactly do you want to see me about?"

“What could possibly be wrong!” Uncle Er said, “Director Liu, that’s not right of you… You’re the leader of our steel rolling mill now, and I’m just an ordinary employee. How can you call me Uncle Er…”

"From today onwards, you are Director Liu... and I am Old Liu!"

"Just call me Lao Liu, we can't mess up the hierarchy!"

puff……

Liu Aiguo almost spat out blood: This guy Liu Haizhong is such a huge simp!

I wonder what Uncle Yi and Uncle San would think if they heard these words?

"However... I do have a small request!"

A fawning smile spread across Liu Haizhong's fat face. He stood up, bowed, and looked at Liu Aiguo with a humble and ingratiating expression, saying softly, "Director Liu... I have a small request!"

"You're the head of logistics now, a big shot in our steel rolling mill... There's a vacancy for the head of the kitchen... What do you think of me...? Am I suitable?"

"If you could recommend me for the position of head chef, I promise I'll never forget you..."

"I'll serve you like a slave..."

"No, no, no..." It was getting more and more cheesy, and Liu Aiguo couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly interrupted Liu Haizhong, saying, "This... Second Uncle..."

"Old Liu...you must call me Old Liu!" Liu Haizhong quickly corrected.

"Alright, alright, Lao Liu..." Liu Aiguo said, "Lao Liu... something's not right... you're a level seven fitter now, you should be making over ninety yuan a month at the factory!"

"Don't be fooled by your position as the head of the kitchen; the salary is far less. Even with your seniority pay, it'll only amount to a little over sixty yuan at most... Why bother!"

What Liu Aiguo said is true.

But who can blame him when Liu Haizhong is obsessed with officialdom?

In order to become an official, he would accept losing 300 yuan, let alone 300 yuan; he would even accept losing 40 yuan.

"Director Liu... everyone has their own ambitions!" Liu Haizhong waved his sleeve and began to boast: "Speaking of which, I've had a talent for cooking since I was a child... Why don't you try this egg dish I made... Actually, what I like most is working in the kitchen..."

"How about this... if you recommend me... I'll give you an extra ten yuan from my monthly salary!"

Liu Haizhong spoke very sincerely.

Of course, he didn't care about the ten yuan.

Once I become a leader, and the kitchen is such a lucrative position, I'll be able to get ten yuan anywhere.

In this respect, he is quite similar to Qin Huairu.

He hadn't even taken office yet, and he was already thinking about embezzlement.

Liu Aiguo smiled coldly: "No... Old Liu... I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this... Now that Director Huang has taken office, the factory is lacking experienced technicians like you... If you leave, who will help Director Huang out?"

"If I dared to suggest transferring you to the kitchen... Director Huang would be the first to fire me..."

"Please... take this egg... go back and enjoy it slowly... I still need to eat... I won't see you out..."

Liu Aiguo kicked Liu Haizhong out of the house.

Want to become an official?

Screw you!

What kind of person is he? Doesn't he have any self-awareness about whether he's reliable or not?

Chapter 096 Xu Damao, you're infertile!

After seeing Liu Haizhong off, Liu Aiguo began cooking.

That's right!

I'm not planning to go back to Hong Kong for dinner today; I'll just make something at home.

However, Liu Aiguo did not intend to settle for less.

Take a few squid out of the system, fry them on the outside, and then braise them in a pot.

Adding a large chili pepper makes it absolutely delicious.

Then get a super big lobster.

Last year, during the system upgrade, an ocean was added, and the ocean was incredibly abundant with all sorts of things. In addition to the usual abalone, sea cucumber, and squid, there were also giant lobsters weighing over ten kilograms.

This stuff shouldn't be given to children in large quantities, so Liu Aiguo made it for himself in Beijing.

Braised squid is easy to make.

However, getting this shrimp, which weighs over ten kilograms, is a bit difficult.

First, brush the prawns, then stir-fry the seasonings with salt, and then coat the entire prawn with salt and pepper to form a salt crust.

Finally, bake it in a pot.

quickly!

The aroma immediately filled the air.

A delicious dinner is ready.

I can't finish it all by myself, so I'll take it to Yu Li for a late-night snack after the kids go to sleep.

After the late-night snack, let Yu Li brush her teeth...hehehe...

Liu Aiguo indulged in some lewd fantasies for a while.

……

Across the street, at Lou Xiaohe's house.

"Liu Aiguo left his sewing machine at our house?" Xu Damao's face darkened. "My relationship with him isn't that good... E'zi, are you...?"

"You're kidding me!" Lou Xiao'e said angrily, slapping Xu Damao on the head with a chopstick.

Xu Damao said with a wry smile, "That's not what I meant."

Lou Xiao'e, hands on her hips, asked, "What does that mean?"

Xu Damao smiled and said, "What I mean is, instead of putting a sewing machine here, why not put a radio here for us!"

"Hehehe..."

Unfortunately, Liu Aiguo's radio was given to Liu Guangtian.

The two finished their meal!

Lou Xiao'e tidied herself up a bit and then said, "Xu Damao... I need to discuss something with you."

"okay!"

The two sat down at the square table.

Lou Xiao'e said, "We've been married for several years now... Look at Liu Aiguo, he already has two lively kids, and Yu Li is pregnant again, she'll be three in a few months... Tell me about us, aren't you worried?"

"Sigh..." Xu Damao said, "How can I not be anxious? Of course I am... But what's the use of being anxious? This is all about fate... You're here today... You can't have it!"

"no!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "Da Mao... what I mean is, could it be that there's something wrong with either of us... it's embarrassing to go to the hospital for a checkup, I was thinking, why don't we go to Liu Aiguo's place and have him take a look!"

"Him?" Xu Damao's face darkened. "He can treat illnesses... He can treat illnesses? Don't talk nonsense!"

Lou Xiao'e said, "Who's talking nonsense... Last time Dongxu almost died, wasn't it Liu Aiguo who saved him?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao frowned: Hmm... it seems there really is such a thing!

"That won't do!" Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "This thing is too embarrassing... I can't afford to lose face like that!"

Xu Damao isn't doing as well as Liu Aiguo, but he's not doing badly either.
