"Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao, how about we kill a pig and eat the meat today?" Zhang Dabao asked the three children.
"I like to eat meat," said Sanmao.
"I like to eat meat, too. Master Nan will come over soon and kill a pig. You guys boil some water while I unload the pig from the car," Zhang Dabao said to Damao, got in the car and unloaded a smaller wild boar onto the ground.
Chapter 336 Asking Someone to Make a Straw Quilt
Although Nan Yi is also a bootlicker, his skills are very good and professional. He did not take the wild boar skin, but cut the meat from the inside and cleaned the internal organs in the pot where Damao had boiled water. The pig head and offal cannot be eaten at noon, and if they are cooked now, they will be very mushy by the evening.
After Nan Yi finished cutting the meat, he began to process the ingredients. He quickly made home-cooked dishes such as Four-Happiness Meatballs, Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce, Stir-fried Pork, and Twice-Cooked Pork. At twelve o'clock, Liu Feng, Jiao Min, and Liang Ladi came together, and Liu Feng also brought Zhang Dabao's two pigs.
"Mom, my uncle brought a pig and cooked a lot of dishes." Sanmao saw his mother and ran over to Liang Ladi and said.
"Brother Liu, Sister Jiao, please sit down and see if Master Nan's skills have become rusty." Zhang Dabao said to the two of them, then took out two bottles of Fenjiu from the cab.
"Master Nan, come here, the children are hungry," Zhang Dabao called Nan Yi. At this time, Nan Yi's last dish was ready. He washed his hands and sat down.
"Nan Yi, follow Da Biao and work hard. You know in the factory, there are some things I can't do anything about." Liu Feng toasted Nan Yi with a glass of wine.
"Director, I don't blame anyone. I know you are a good person, thank you." Nan Yi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
Brothers are there after going through all the hardships, and all grudges will be forgotten when they meet and smile.
The two drank a cup together and smiled at each other. Who can tell clearly what happened in the past? People always have to look forward. Liu Feng just adjusted Nan Yi's work. Among Nan Yi and others, he was considered a good person. Nan Yi also knew it.
To be honest, the three biggest bootlickers in the chef world should all have good skills. He Yuzhu is definitely not at the eighth level, and Nan Yi is one of the representatives of official cuisine, so his skills won't be bad either. As for the other one, Zhang Dabao has never seen him until now. I think Master Liu must have his strengths to have been able to run the state-owned canteen for so many years.
Nan Yi got drunk today, so Zhang Dabao and Liang Ladi sent Nan Yi to the dormitory. Liu Feng and his wife left after dinner. They still had to work in the afternoon, and Liang Ladi asked for a whole afternoon shift, saying that there was a pig's head stewing in the pot outside, and Jiao Min agreed.
"Sister Liang, did Cui Dake continue to harass you?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"A dog will never change its eating habits. He always comes to talk to me for no reason and always wants to gain something for himself. Now there is a Director Xu from the grain store who has asked people to propose marriage to him several times. He is also upset with the factory because of my matter and has not allocated grain to the factory on time," said Liang Ladi.
"The director of the commune's grain store?" Zhang Dabao asked Liang Ladi.
"It doesn't seem like it. She should be from the district. Our unit or commune has no control over her. She's in her forties, bald, and ugly, but she thinks she's beautiful." Liang Ladi kept complaining about Director Xu. It seemed that this person disgusted her.
"It's okay, just leave it to me. I'll transfer you to the city in a few days. I have a vacant courtyard, which you can directly put under your name, so you don't have to worry about anything," Zhang Dabao said to Liang Ladi.
He knew the mentality of people like Liang Ladi. They worked so hard in the unit, fearing that one day they would be laid off. They would have no house in the city and no home in the village. That would be truly homeless.
"Dabao, you are so nice." Liang Ladi snuggled into Zhang Dabao's arms.
"I will come to pick you up in four or five days. I will take care of Nan Yi's affairs first. His affairs are official matters." Zhang Dabao kissed Liang Ladi and patted her shoulder.
"I'm waiting for you." Liang Ladi hugged Zhang Dabao tightly.
"Mom, there's not much water left in the pot," Damao shouted from outside.
"Go ahead, don't be frugal. You can share some of the food in the pot with your neighbors, and give more to Nan Yi. You can only keep it for two or three days now, and then it will all be eaten. I won't leave any meat for you. When you move to your new home, I'll give you more." Zhang Dabao patted Liang Ladi's butt and asked her to go out to add water.
"Tell Nan Yi that I will come to see him in three or four days." Zhang Dabao said goodbye to his three children, drove back to Yard 95, moved the two small shanks of pork into the yard, and asked the masters to help put the grass in his own yard.
I went to the steel mill to return the car and sold two wild boars.
When I rode my motorcycle back home, the workers and the masters had already left, and the main frame of the greenhouse across the yard had been built.
"Seventh Uncle, did you bring back a pig?" Jia Dongxu was the first one to come back, and the master asked him this when he left.
"Are you blind? It's in the kitchen. If anyone in the yard can make straw ropes or something, use this yellow wheat straw to make a straw quilt for me that is one meter two wide and six meters long," Zhang Dacun said to Jia Dongxu unhappily.
"Aunt San can do it, Xiaozheng's mother can do it, Guo Kang's wife can do it, and I can do it too," said Jia Lexu.
"You know nothing!" Zhang Dabao cursed Jia Dongxu, then walked out of the house and came to the gate of the courtyard. The three people that Jia Dongxu had just mentioned were sewing shoe soles at the gate of the courtyard.
"Auntie, sister-in-law, I heard from Dongxu that you can weave straw quilts? Please help me, I want to weave a lot," said Zhang Dabao.
"Okay, no problem," Mrs. Guo agreed immediately.
"How about two cents a bed?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"Da Biao, why should we give money? We are all neighbors, just provide meals. I saw that you brought a lot of meat," said Guo's sister-in-law.
"No problem, there's plenty of meat and vegetables. Shall we start early tomorrow morning?" Zhang Dabao asked the three people, and of course they agreed.
In the backyard, since Zhang Dabao brought meat, Jia Dongxu made some home-cooked dishes. Now Jia Dongxu's cooking is quite decent, and even Bang Geng, who is always picky, didn't say anything.
"Old Yan, I have to go to the backyard to help tomorrow. Da Biao brought back two pieces of meat today. It seems that they have to eat them in the backyard for two days," Yang Ruihua said to Yan Bugui after dinner.
"What can you do? Da Biao can invite you to dinner, but if he invites you, can't he invite me first? I am the only manager in the courtyard now." Yan Bugui didn't believe it.
"Dad, Da Biao wanted to make grass quilts, and he brought back a whole cart of grass. I saw it today when I went to feed the geese. What does this have to do with whether you are the manager? Who in the yard still listens to the manager now?" Yan Jiedi said.
"I'll go, or I'll go too, I can do it too." Yan Bugui was angry at first, then he thought that his daughter was right, and now no one really listened to him.
"Aren't you going to work? There are three of us women going, Xiaozheng's mother, Xiaobao's mother, and me. It seems like it will take at least two days to finish this," Yang Ruihua said with a sigh.
"Old Yang, why are you like this? The kid goes away for two days, and you go away for two days, and I'm the only one eating at home?" Yan Bugui said.
"You can eat our steamed buns. We are not at home to eat them, so there will be no steamed buns left. You can eat one more every day," said Yang Ruihua.
His wife's words left Yan Bugui speechless. He stood up angrily, then thought for a while and sat down again.
Chapter 337: Thief Cui Dake
At this time, Zhang Dabao was discussing something with Qin Jingru, "Jingru, after the greenhouse is built, you can help with the management, and I will give you five dollars a month," Zhang Dabao asked Qin Jingru.
"Seventh Uncle, no need to give me money, I can take care of it by the way." Qin Jingru was a little embarrassed to ask for money.
"That won't work. This can't be done in just one or two days. We have to do it every day. We have to raise and lower the greenhouses, and weed inside. It's not an easy job," said Zhang Dabao.
Qin Jingru looked at her sister Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu nodded, indicating that Qin Jingru should agree. Only then did Qin Jingru agree to manage the greenhouse.
The next day, Zhang Dabao took a large piece of meat and gave it to Qin Jingru, asking her to cook for Yang Ruihua and the other two. He then went to the factory and found Li Huaide, saying that he wanted to arrange a transfer for Nan Yi to be a chef in the Hong Kong office. Li Huaide had no reason to object, so he agreed directly and notified Hu Kexue to help Nan Yi with the formalities.
"Da Biao, it seems that you want to do something big. I support you," Li Huaide said with a smile.
"Uncle, when we have time, the factory can send someone to take a look. The restaurant is definitely booming, don't worry," Zhang Dabao said to Li Huaide.
"Da Biao, when will those equipment arrive?" What Li Huaide is most concerned about now is the casting equipment that Zhang Da Biao mentioned.
"It will definitely arrive before the end of the month, so you don't have to worry. You still need to ask your uncle about leaving the port to see what everyone needs to do?" Zhang Dabao instructed Li Huaide again.
"Da Biao, I am also a small-minded person. I can't let these things go. I haven't had a good sleep these days," Li Huaide said with a wry smile.
"Uncle, is our unit cooperating with that grain station?" Zhang Dabao asked.
"Our main factory is directly managed by the Dongcheng District Grain Bureau. We are a large factory and not at the grain station level. The machine repair factory and the warehouse are connected to the district's Red Flag Grain Station. Is there anything you need?" Li Huaide asked.
"I want to ask about the proportion of fine grains. I always feel that there are less and less fine grains," Zhang Dabao made up an excuse.
"These are not formulated by them, and they have no say. The biggest problem now is insufficient grain production. If there is more grain, these problems will be solved," said Li Huaide.
"So that's how it is. You go ahead and do your work. I plan to go back to my hometown." Zhang Dabao found an excuse to leave the steel rolling mill, then changed his clothes, rode a bicycle, and called over two crows. He released one at the Hongqi Grain Station and took the other to the machine repair factory.
He knew Cui Dake, who liked to steal when he was in the village. Now that there was meat in the factory, it was impossible for him not to be tempted. Of course, even if he didn't do it, he would have meat on him.
The crows landed on the roof in front of the canteen of the machine repair factory. Lunch had passed, and the staff in the canteen cleaned up and went back to the dormitory to rest for a while. At this time, through the crows on the roof, Zhang Dabao saw Cui Dake coming out. His waist was a little bulging, and he was wearing a baggy piece of clothing that covered his waist.
Cui Dake came out the last one. He walked slowly towards the factory gate. Less than one meter away from the gate, he greeted the two security guards on duty. At this moment, there was a "click" and five or six pounds of meat fell from Cui Dake's body to the ground.
The two security guards looked at each other and felt it was a bit unbelievable that a temporary worker was so bold as to steal meat. So they stepped forward to control Cui Dake and called the security guards in the room.
"A thief was caught? Where is the thief?" The people in the house rushed out.
"Isn't this Cui Dake from the cafeteria? He stole such a big piece of meat, you bastard. There isn't much meat in such a big factory, and you still robbed it? Is he still a human being? " said a young man to him.
Then several people started to attack Cui Dake. It didn't matter that they beat him, the fat that Cui Dake had hidden around his waist fell out. "You bastard, you still have fat on your body, you're really screwed, you don't take people seriously," said Chief Wang of the Security Department.
"Beat him!" Chief Wang gave an order, and several team members beat him ruthlessly, making Brother Cui cry for his parents.
"Lock him up and report to the factory director after work. Check carefully to see if he still has the drug on him," said Section Chief Wang.
So Cui Dake was stripped of his clothes and locked up in the security department. As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Liu Feng received a report. "He caught the man red-handed. Good job. He will be handed over to the police for handling," said Liu Feng. He remembered that Zhang Dabao had mentioned that this person was not a good person before, but he didn't expect that he actually stole meat.
Cui Dake was sent to the police station by the security team and then locked up. From then on, he said goodbye to the machine repair factory.
As soon as Cui Dake was caught, Zhang Dabao left, because he knew what would happen to the thief now.
He rushed all the way back to the city, changed his clothes, and rode a motorcycle back to Compound 95. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw that Yang Ruihua and the other two were working very quickly and the straw blanket was half finished.
"Dongxu, show us your skills tonight." As soon as Jia Dongxu came back, he asked Zhang Dabao to call him over.
"No problem, what can I make?" Jia Dongxu now likes cooking very much. I remember someone once said that people who love food are good at cooking. I don't know whether it is true or not, but I have met many people who love food and their cooking is delicious.
"We have salted fish, meat, and spare ribs at home. Let's have steamed spare ribs with rice flour, shredded pork with fish flavor, steamed buns with salted fish, fried goose eggs with peppers, braised pork slices, and a stew. There are many of us," said Zhang Dabao.
"No problem, I'll get ready now." Jia Dongxu stopped his bike, changed his clothes, washed his hands, and started to get busy.
"Da Biao, there are many dishes you mentioned that I have never heard of. Can Dongxu cook them all?" Yang Ruihua asked.
"Dongxu has some talent when it comes to eating. He can learn it after a little study. Now what he is best at is not cooking, but making noodles. Dongxu is even better at making noodles." Zhang Dabao rarely praised his eldest nephew.
"I can't tell," said Niu Xiaozheng's mother.
"Wait, you'll know after you try it. When you meet someone after three days, you should look at him with new eyes," Zhang Dabao said to several women.
The goose trio of Yan Jiedi, Jia Geng and Niu Xiaozheng also came back. Now most of the grass was dry. Zhang Dabao provided sponsorship to the three and brought them some bran from the grain station. Eating this goose was much better than eating grass.
So after class, the three of them did not go out to cut grass, but boiled water, mixed bran, and then fed the geese. Yan Jiedi and Niu Xiaozheng went to pick up goose eggs. Bang Geng did not dare to go. It seemed as if the geese had a grudge against him. They would twist when they saw him, and he could not stand it at all.
"It's just right that you three are back. Let's put the wood up." Zhang Dabao stopped the goose-feeding trio and asked them to help him put the needed wood on the shed and secure it.
Chapter 338: Bicycle Hit Someone
It was dark, and dinner was ready. They were divided into two large tables. Zhang Dabiao, He Yuzhu, Jia Dongxu, and Xu Damao were at one small table. They served a few dishes and each of them poured a glass. The big table next door was the main force. The women and children were very strong. In the end, they didn't even need to rinse the dishes. They were all clean.
"Old Yan, you don't know, Dongxu's cooking is delicious now. The dishes for tonight are made by him. To be honest, they are almost the same as the ones we had at the beginning of the banquet, with steamed spare ribs, shredded pork and sliced meat. How come they have become so tender?" Yang Ruihua returned home, leaned back in his chair and asked Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui was eating steamed bread with his youngest son tonight. When he heard what his wife said about the dishes, he didn't want to say a word. He snorted and went out.
"Jie Di, what does your father mean?" Yang Ruihua asked his youngest daughter.
"What does he mean? He's unhappy. We two had the good food, but he didn't get to eat it. Just look at how tempting these dishes are. How can he be happy?" Yan Jiedi said.
"Let's go out for a walk. You're too full," Yang Ruihua said to his youngest daughter.
