Chapter 159: The Foolish Brother Agrees to Help
This situation was within Sha Zhu's expectations and would naturally be foreseen by Lin Xiangdong.
Then, Lin Xiangdong and Sha Zhu discussed some matters further.
In addition, he also wanted to buy a few pounds of pork with the help of Sha Zhu, slaughter the old hen at home, and buy some fish and vegetables.
Of course, tobacco and alcohol are also indispensable items. The quality must be top-notch but it must not be shabby either.
……
When he woke up in the morning, the alarm clock had already rung. "Check in!" When Lin Xiangdong shouted this, he also woke up and completed the task of today.
【IOU*3.】
At this time, Lou Xiao'e also woke up.
When Lin Xiangdong got up, he also began to think that maybe it would be a good idea to improve his cooking skills to the mid-level.
At present, he has mastered basic cooking skills.
The skill points required to progress from beginner to intermediate are not many;
As for Shazhu's cooking skills, it is likely that they have reached a relatively high level;
Lou Xiao'e has not yet mastered basic cooking skills.
In the system's division, the foundation is the first step to enter this skill threshold, and the entry requirements are also different - the standards set by the system are themselves quite strict.
The so-called mid-term means that the key points of the skill have been mastered. Although the threshold is relatively low, it is more difficult to achieve mastery; and the advanced level means proficiency in the skill.
It is very difficult to master any skill to a high level.
As for the peak stage, it is about superb skills, and if we talk about the top god-level, it is about transcendence.
This is an extraordinary system, so it is not surprising that the definition of the skill levels includes the extraordinary.
I got up, washed, and used my free time to observe the contents of the three IOUs issued by the system today.
It says:
Xu Damao owes three yuan.
Xu Damao owed five pounds worth of food stamps.
Xu Damao owes seven cents.
If both the borrower and the lender are Xu Damao, they can be merged.
Then Lin Xiangdong started to prepare breakfast, with help from Lou Xiaoe.
……
Also in the atrium, Sha Zhu was busy preparing his breakfast, when Qin Huairu suddenly appeared.
Faced with her sudden visit, "Sister Qin, is there anything wrong?" Sha Zhu felt quite confused.
"What did Lin Xiangdong want to talk to you about last night?" Qin Huairu asked without answering.
Qin Huairu was also quite worried. If Lin Xiangdong advised He Zhu (Silly Zhu) to distance himself from the Jia family, and if He Zhu listened to him, the situation would not be ideal.
Because He Zhu is as important as her job and she can't let go easily.
"Xiangdong said he was planning to hold a banquet and needed my help in preparing ten kilograms of pork. I have already agreed." He Zhu said casually.
If someone else had asked the question, He Zhu might not have been so direct, but the person asking was Qin Huairu, so he did not hide anything.
"Ten pounds of pork?" Qin Huairu was a little surprised by this statement, but her heart became active.
Since Lin Xiangdong was going to hold a party in the courtyard, the neighbors only needed to do a little favor to get a delicious meal.
Qin Huairu also hopes that Lin Xiangdong's wedding will be as dignified as possible.
If He Zhu needs to help prepare ten kilograms of pork, it means that the wedding banquet will definitely be good.
"We are neighbors, and Dongzi has helped you a lot. You should lend a helping hand when he is in trouble."
"How about this, prepare a few more pounds of pork for him?"
"People need to be more open-minded in dealing with the world."
Having said this, He Zhu felt that this made a lot of sense.
When he heard this, Qin Huairu laughed out loud with satisfaction.
Not long after Qin Huairu left, Yi Zhonghai also came to visit.
Yi Zhonghai also hopes that He Zhu can help Lin Xiangdong prepare a few extra pounds of pork.
Although pork supply is tight, the steel mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees and will have a large amount (hundreds of pounds) of meat quotas in each cycle.
Every month, the food factory or the Red Star Commune would supply a certain amount of meat to the steel plant.
Canteen No. 2, where Ho Chu serves, always has the largest share.
Considering that Lin Xiangdong was a film projectionist with a good background, and He Zhu's status in the canteen, Yi Zhonghai was very willing to lend a hand and prepare more than ten pounds of pork for them.
If Lou Zhenhua's channels are used, it will be easier to handle such matters.
However, it would be more ideal to avoid directly using Lou Zhenhua's resources as much as possible.
"Zhu Zi, I will help you introduce a blind date in the near future." Yi Zhonghai said to He Zhu.
The deaf old lady had asked Yi Zhonghai many times to introduce a suitable partner to He Zhu, because after all, he was not young.
He Zhu is attracted by Qin Huairu's appearance, but the latter only regards him as a financial support. Such a situation is not a wise choice for a fool.
So the old lady meant that Ho Chu should start his own family as soon as possible.
As long as Sha Zhu finds a wife, grandma will feel at ease.
As for Yi Zhonghai, he had hoped to bring He Zhu and Qin Huairu together, but given the current situation this is unlikely.
"Thank you for your help, old man."
"The most ideal partner should be someone with a clean background, urban hukou and a degree."
The fool replied with a smile.
"The standards are quite high?" Yi Zhonghai smiled.
After he left, the fool had already begun to imagine the girl he would be introduced to: she must be very beautiful, and if possible, she could be as beautiful as Qin Huairu. In terms of her family background, three generations of poverty would be enough; if she also had a city household and at least attended middle school, that would be great, and high school would be even more ideal.
As for college students, forget about it.
In this era, most college graduates can find jobs in management positions.
And "Silly Zhu" also felt very urgent about this. Compared with him, the younger Lin Xiang** had already started a family, while he himself was still single.
Xu Damao is also unmarried, but he is younger than Sha Zhu.
Hearing this, "Rain Water" happened to hear some of the content nearby and was surprised.
"Dad actually wants to help you find a girlfriend?" He Yushui asked.
"It seems that the old man really cares about me!" Sha Zhu said with a smile.
Yu Shui said nothing more. If Yi Zhonghai was willing to find a partner for his brother, that would be great.
If she had a new sister-in-law in the future, perhaps her dear silly brother would not help the Jia family as often as before. Then her life would be better.
For example, He Yushui can now occasionally taste the leftovers from the cafeteria that his brother brings home every day.
Especially considering that "Shazhu" spared no expense to buy her a bicycle as a gift, so at least for now, He Yushui did not want to cause trouble for her brother.
If it weren't for this car, she would have probably already informed Qin Huairu.
Knowing that Yi Zhonghai promised to introduce him to a girlfriend after a while, "Shazhu" felt extremely happy.
After he finished preparing breakfast, he hummed a ballad.
Seeing this, Yu Shui said, "Sister Huairu, my brother seems very happy."
However, when Qin Huairu asked the reason, He Yushui just shook his head.
When Qin Huairu asked, Sha Zhu refused to say anything.
—— —— ——
He arrived at the steel mill early this morning. At this time, "Sha Zhu" came much earlier than usual, and even his apprentice Ma Hua also arrived early.
"Hey, teacher, why are you here so early today?" Ma Hua was very surprised.
Since he entered the factory, this was the first time he saw his master arrive at work so early.
The teacher looked very happy and was obviously in a good mood - indeed, Yi Zhonghai had said that he would introduce him to a girlfriend in the near future, so he was naturally in a good mood.
At this time, when walking into the restaurant, "Shazhu" recalled what he had promised Lin Xiangdong before.
At the beginning, Qin Huairu asked "Sha Zhu" to help Lin Xiangdong get more pork, and Sha Zhu also remembered it firmly in his heart.
So he immediately checked all the raw materials.
There were big bags of potatoes, a bunch of cabbage, some leeks, long eggplants, etc. Among the meats, there was 31 kilograms of pork, 17 kilograms of eggs, about 10 kilograms of fresh crucian carp, and two pufferfish.
This is the largest batch of raw materials among the four canteens.
Thinking "Just leave 13 more kilograms of pork for Xiangdong", "Silly Zhu" looked around secretly.
They had agreed to buy and sell at a price of RMB 1 per catty. Therefore, Lin Xiangdong had to pay "Shazhu" 13 yuan in exchange for the meat.
According to the regulations, individuals are not allowed to purchase company property privately. "But sometimes the rules need to be flexible," Shazhu thought of using the regulations flexibly.
"Come, Ma Hua, come here." He called to "Ma Hua".
Thereupon the latter stopped working and walked quickly to his side.
"Ma Hua, help me get this done. Secretly put away the thirteen kilograms of pork..." "Sha Zhu" whispered in his ear.
After hearing what he was going to do, Ma Hua was shocked.
Although it wasn't stealing, it was clearly against the rules. If it happened, it would be no laughing matter.
Sha Zhu comforted him: "Don't worry, even if there is any trouble, I will definitely take responsibility for you."
Some relationships have been properly handled, and with Yi Zhonghai's support, even if problems do arise, it will not have much impact.
He Yuzhu has already made up his mind that even if he cannot change MCA's attitude, he can only do his best to help him.
......
Xu Damao was cleaning the public toilet in the factory listlessly.
After a while, he gradually adapted to the job, although it took time to relearn projection techniques.
Knowing that Lin Xiangqian was preparing a banquet, Xu Damao wanted to find fault, but he still thought carefully.
It is undoubted that when Lin Xiangqian hosted banquets, neighbors would attend, and some workers and management would also be invited. Therefore, it would be easy to ignite public anger if someone found fault with him.
Xu Damao would not act rashly unless there was prior guarantee that he would not be dragged into the dispute.
Soon, it was time to get off work at the factory.
Today, the work was not too strenuous for Lin Xiangqian, as he only had to arrange a screening inside the factory.
Lin Xiangqian and He Yuzhu both finished their work for the day early.
