Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

It was a little after six in the afternoon.

Qin Jingru returned to the house, put down her bag and lunchbox, and smiled slightly at Wang Feng: "Brother Wang Feng, have some tea for a while, I'll go cook now."

Wang Feng nodded: "Go ahead, there are two catties of pork in the kitchen. Cook more food and send some to Banxia. She can reheat it for lunch tomorrow. Remember to brew the Chinese medicine."

"Okay, I understand."

Qin Jingru agreed and went to the kitchen to cook.

She had to prepare meals for guests every day for the past few days, and by the time she got back it was already past six o'clock. After cooking and eating, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. She didn't have much time to chat with Wang Feng.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Qin Jingru quickly washed rice, cooked it, washed vegetables, chopped meat, and brewed traditional Chinese medicine.

The rice used for cooking dinner tonight is premium quality rice. Anyway, Banxia will come to their house for dinner in a couple of days when she's more available. They can't hide the fact that they use premium quality rice and flour, unless she and Wang Feng stop eating premium quality rice and flour altogether.

Qin Jingru cut a pound of meat that evening and made braised pork and hot and sour shredded potatoes.

Making braised pork takes a little longer, more than half an hour.

Qin Jingru finally brought two dishes to the table at seven o'clock in the evening.

"Brother Wang Feng, I'm going to deliver Banxia's food first. You eat first."

"Okay, go and come back quickly."

Qin Jingru nodded, took a larger bowl, filled it with braised pork and hot and sour shredded potatoes, and then filled a smaller bowl with rice. She opened the door and walked towards the backyard.

Because it was cooked with top-quality rice, she usually only ate a little over one bowl, while Wang Feng usually only ate two bowls. It's estimated that Banxia would be full after eating half a bowl.

By 7 p.m., it was completely dark, and there was no one outside in the courtyard. Qin Jingru didn't encounter anyone along the way.

Upon arriving at Lu Banxia's house, Qin Jingru knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Banxia, ​​I've brought you your food."

Lu Banxia, ​​who was lying in bed, heard Qin Jingru knocking on the door and quickly got up to open it for her.

The door opened, and Qin Jingru walked in, smiling as she asked, "Banxia, ​​are you feeling better today?"

Lu Banxia nodded gently: "I feel much better after resting for a day."

Qin Jingru placed the food on the table and said with a smile, "That's good. Banxia, ​​come and eat."

Looking at the delicious-looking braised pork, Lu Banxia swallowed hard and said speechlessly, "Sister Jingru, don't you even know what time it is? I've already cooked and eaten for myself."

"what?"

Qin Jingru asked in confusion, "Banxia, ​​didn't Brother Wang Feng tell you that I've been busy preparing banquets lately and won't be back until after six o'clock in the evening? By the time I got back and finished cooking, it's already this late. Why don't you eat some more? Let me tell you, the food I made tonight was really delicious."

Lu Banxia was taken aback: "Brother Feng didn't tell me."

"Banxia, ​​I've discussed it with Brother Wang Feng. Starting the day after tomorrow, you can come to our house for meals. If outsiders ask, just say you paid for our meals and are eating with us."

"Hehe, does that mean I can eat Sister Jingru's cooking every day? That's great!" Lu Banxia said happily.

Qin Jingru waved her hand: "Alright, eat a little bit. If you can't finish it, save it for lunch tomorrow. Brother Wang Feng usually doesn't eat lunch in the yard. I'll bring you breakfast tomorrow morning."

"Yes, thank you, Sister Jingru."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later. I'm going back now. I haven't eaten yet."

"Okay, take care, Sister Jingru."

After Qin Jingru left, Lu Banxia closed the door, sat down, and began to eat.

She ate two white steamed buns for dinner, leftovers from lunch. She didn't even cook any vegetables. She wasn't hungry, but Jingru's cooking was so delicious that she couldn't resist.

Lu Banxia picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth, her eyes widening immediately.

She felt that the food today was much tastier than the last time she had it.

It's normal for her to have this feeling. Qin Jingru had been wary of her before and only used 60% of her cooking skills, but today Qin Jingru used all her skills.

Lu Banxia took another bite of rice, and soon, she showed a look of shock.

She could understand if the dishes were delicious because of Qin Jingru's good cooking skills, but she really couldn't understand why the white rice was so delicious.

She's eaten all kinds of rice since she was a child, but even the best and most expensive rice can't taste ten times better than this white rice!

No wonder Sister Jingru said the food was delicious and asked her to have some more; it really was delicious!

Lu Banxia smiled slightly. It seems that Brother Feng has quite a few secrets. Even she, a capitalist's daughter, has never eaten such delicious rice. Yet Brother Feng, a deputy section chief, is eating such delicious rice. This is obviously a bit abnormal.

However, Wang Feng is now her man, and she would never reveal his secret.

Without thinking further, Lu Banxia ate her food in big mouthfuls, but she felt very full after eating less than half a bowl of rice and couldn't eat anymore, which puzzled her.

the other side.

Qin Jingru returned to the house, filled a bowl with rice, and said while eating, "Brother Wang Feng, didn't you tell Banxia that I've been entertaining guests every day lately and have been coming back late? I just brought the food over, but Banxia had already eaten."

Wang Feng swallowed the braised pork and gave an awkward laugh: "I forgot."

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes: "Fine, Brother Wang Feng, I saw Qin Huairu in the cafeteria today and she got another sucker, a cripple."

Wang Feng smiled slightly: "That's normal. The pockmarked man Qin Huairu dated before couldn't possibly let her take advantage of him forever. The key is that Qin Huairu is the kind of person who only thinks about taking advantage and doesn't want to give anything in return. I bet she didn't even let that pockmarked man touch her hand. Do you think that pockmarked man could keep letting her take advantage of him for a long time? After all, he's not stupid."

"Hehe, that's true, Brother Wang Feng. At noon, Qin Huairu was having lunch with that cripple when that pockmarked guy ran into them. The pockmarked guy immediately started fighting with the cripple, causing quite a scene in the cafeteria. The two of them were even punished by the factory," Qin Jingru said with a smile.

"The pockmarked guy suffered the most. He started the fight and was fined thirty yuan and banned from participating in the work grade assessment for three years. The other guy with the limp was also fined twenty yuan."

Wang Feng said speechlessly, "Jingru, this Qin Huairu is just that kind of person. What's the big deal? There will be many more things like this in the future, and maybe even more outrageous ones will follow."

"what?"

"Is there anything more outrageous? Isn't this outrageous enough? How much more outrageous can it get?" Qin Jingru asked in shock.

Wang Feng did not answer Qin Jingru. He was certain that when Qin Jingru's life became even more difficult, the exchange of steamed buns for steamed buns would definitely happen.
