Going back to the past starts with grazing

Chapter 574
To say that it is really good to be a teacher, especially after the holidays, I can still earn wages with nothing to do, I am so happy.

"Hiss~ah, it smells so good!" Xu Lingjun lifted the lid of the casserole and said, taking a deep breath.

This one will enjoy it, it's freezing outside, and the house is warm, not only that, he also stewed a pot of lamb in a casserole, the soup has long been bubbling, and the taste of the lamb is straight On the forehead, the smell makes people swallow unconsciously.

This is the scene that Xu Lingjun had imagined countless times in his previous life. It was snowing heavily outside the house, and the house was warm as spring. Sitting cross-legged on the hot kang, he had a casserole of mutton, some small shochu, and made an appointment with a friend or two to chat. Not to mention the comfort of drinking while drinking.

"Smells so good! Dad, did you buy me soda?" Qing Qing rushed to Xu Lingjun like a small cannonball as soon as she came back, hugging his thigh and said.

"I bought it, I bought it, Qingqing, let me go first, I'll help mom bring your brother and sister in." Xu Lingjun hurriedly put down the lid of the casserole and asked Qingqing to let him go, while he went to the yard to help Xiuzhi hugs Dundun and Tongtong.

"Xiuzhi, didn't you agree that I'll pick you up when you come back? Why did you pick it up right away? What about the three children? It's not easy to travel in this world of ice and snow." Xu Lingjun hugged Tongtong and said.

"It's okay, how can you be so hypocritical, I was picked up just after I got off work, and when Qingqing grew up, she was able to walk on her own, and even played slippery all the way. The two of them were young and I wrapped them in my arms together. That's it. I'm back with it." Xiuzhi made a movement and said while taking off her sheepskin coat.

Winter is short and the days are short. Of course, Xiuzhi leaves work much earlier than before. It was originally agreed that Xiuzhi would come back from get off work and Xu Lingjun would pick up the children. Unexpectedly, Xiuzhi picked her up directly.

"Hehe~ Even if you can be brave, you won't fall." Xu Lingjun said with a smile, this daughter-in-law is really nice, she is not pretentious at all.

"Huh~ It smells so good! Old Xu, didn't you say that Brother Zhang is coming today?" Xiuzhi snorted and asked as she came to the stove and took a deep breath of the aroma.

"Well, it was agreed last night, and I think he will come soon." Xu Lingjun said.

Yesterday afternoon, after Xu Lingjun delivered tofu to Xu Wenchang and the others, he went to Zhang Guodong's house to deliver some to him as well.

Of course, it was not too early to send them over. Xu Lingjun had a drink at their house in the evening, and the two talked about the tofu.

The field department used to revolve around the ranch. Now that the pasture town has been established, the number of newly built and relocated factories and the population have increased a lot, so the original two tofu workshops in the field department are not enough.

In summer, people don't think so. After all, there are a lot of vegetables, and the supply and marketing cooperatives will also bring some tofu over when they come from the city.

But after winter, the demand for tofu increases, and the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county can't supply enough tofu, so there is no need to transport it here, and the tofu provided by the two tofu shops is even less. Now if you want to buy tofu, you have to buy it Line up early in the morning, or you have to find acquaintances.

Some people may say that there is no end to making more tofu, and more money can be made by making more!

Don’t be ridiculous, everyone earns wages, and tofu workshops don’t make as much as they want. What is a planned economy? Tofu workshops have a daily quota of soybeans, and as many pots as they are sold, they will be gone. .

"Brother Zhang, I heard that the cafeteria of our field department also makes tofu!" Xu Lingjun asked curiously after hearing what he said so seriously.

"Hey, don't mention it. The tofu they make is really bad. It can't be lifted up. It turns into rotten tofu once it is put in the pot. People in the cafeteria often complain." Zhang Guodong said helplessly.

It's not easy to learn a skill in this era. It's the same for making tofu. The masters are very arrogant. With this skill, everyone has to support their families. Therefore, there are many people who know the principle of making tofu, but you have to talk about it. Not many good ones.

To put it bluntly, he just covers everything he knows how to do, for fear that others will learn to compete with him for jobs.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you say that the tofu shop also processes tofu for others!" Xu Lingjun asked.

This is not a big secret. The people in the tofu shop are also very wicked. After the designated tofu is finished every day, the master who makes the tofu will take on some private work. To put it bluntly, the customers took the soybeans and they helped process some tofu. The good thing is that people can discuss it themselves.

"It's processed, but there are so many wolves and so little meat, they can't do it at all. Besides, they don't dare to be too blatant. After all, they are made for individuals, and it doesn't sound good on the bright side." Zhang Guodong said after eating a mouthful of tofu.

"Hey? Don't tell me, the tofu made by your seventh team is really good, even better than the tofu shop in the city." Zhang Guodong said casually.

"Brother Zhang, what do you think about setting up a tofu shop in our school? We can provide tofu to our field department and other units, and the field department can provide us with soybeans and so on. If there are too many, we can sell them to the employees." Xu Lingjun thought What Li Dapeng said that day about wanting to open a tofu shop was combined with the current matter and asked.

"Huh? That's a good idea! No wonder the seventh team is thinking of you. You think about them all the time. Okay, this is the craft of making tofu. Let alone a temporary worker, it's not bad for a regular worker." Ah!" Zhang Guodong immediately understood what Xu Lingjun meant.

To be honest, he really admired Xu Lingjun, and he would really seize the opportunity. The opening of this tofu shop not only solved the problem of eating tofu in the canteen of the unit, but also provided a few more job opportunities for the members of the seventh team.

What's more, in this way, Xu Lingjun can still establish a good relationship with other units.Really let the units in the field department read well, and let the folks in the seventh team read well. By the way, the teachers of the tofu workshop in other schools can also benefit from the unit. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, didn't we talk about this? I just thought that since there is a shortage of tofu, the seventh team has such talents, so it's a good thing not to use them." Xu Lingjun said with a smile.

"Okay, just rely on this tofu. I will talk to Director Xu tomorrow to see if it works." There is no harm in this matter. He can still take credit for solving the problem of eating tofu, so why not do it!

So Xu Lingjun made an appointment with Zhang Guodong yesterday, and he invited him to dinner tonight. By the way, he asked Zhang Guodong about the outcome of this matter. If it works out, it would be a win-win situation.

"Hey~ Lingjun, your craftsmanship is getting better and better! I can smell the fragrance on the street." Zhang Guodong said as he came in with two bottles of wine in his hand.

"Brother Zhang, hurry up and sit on the kang. It's warm on the kang. In winter, mutton is the most nourishing. Let's eat it first, and it will be almost the same later. It's not bad to get some cabbage and tofu in." Xu Lingjun took the wine and said with a smile.

"You guys go up and do it, I'll pour you a bowl of water and hot wine." Xiuzhi had already set the kang table at this time, and said with a plate of mutton.

"My brother and sister, get some of your sauerkraut, the one with ice crumbs, it's good to eat!" Zhang Guodong also said, taking off his coat and sitting on the kang.

"Okay, I'll get you some more." Xiuzhi was very happy when someone liked her crushed pickles. She picked up a big plate and put two extra foreign yams in it. They all liked this, it was crunchy and refreshing. .

"Okay, Xiuzhi, don't be too busy. Brother Zhang is not an outsider, you can eat at the table! Even look at these small ones." Xiuzhi brought everything over, and finally stewed tofu and cabbage in a casserole. Xu Lingjun Seeing that she was about to eat, she hurriedly said.

"Yes, brother and sister, let's eat together!" Zhang Guodong also said.

"Lingjun, do the same thing, your sister-in-law will be able to cook it well." After several people sat down, Zhang Guodong took a mouthful of mutton and said.

As the logistics captain, Zhang Guodong's living conditions are of course very good. Her daughter-in-law also learned to stew mutton in a casserole, but she just couldn't make such a good taste.

"Brother Zhang, eat more if it tastes good. It's also made by hand." Xu Lingjun said with a smile.

"That's right, just like this crushed pickles, hey? Speaking of which, you two are amazing, what are you doing so delicious!" Zhang Guodong said, taking another bite of crushed pickles.

"Haha~ tricks, all tricks~"
