Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 284 Roast Whole Lamb

Back at the rolling mill, Wang Weidong went to the infirmary to report to Ding Qiunan on a routine basis. After talking about you and me for a while, he transferred to the back kitchen of the cafeteria.

Nan Yi is instructing the people in the canteen class to clean up. He was born in a wealthy family, and he attaches great importance to hygiene.

Unlike He Yuzhu, as long as there is no rat droppings on the chopping board, it is considered clean and hygienic.

For example, Nanyi's seriousness in doing things will take decades at night, and it is unreasonable not to become a food tycoon.

When he heard that Wang Weidong asked him to cook the roast sheep, he agreed without thinking about it.

But he also made a small request, let him try something new.

The reason why Nanyi can become a chef is because he has a greedy mouth.

In this era, supplies are scarce, and pork is hard to find, let alone mutton.

As the saying goes, "eat mutton in winter to compete with ginseng".

When encountering such a good thing, Nanyi will naturally not let it go.

Wang Weidong agreed without hesitation, asking others to help, and giving some compensation is also appropriate.

After listening to Nanyi talk about the 9 ways to roast whole lamb, he returned to the workshop.

Then he went straight into the laboratory.

That batch of hydraulic boosters has been completed and is now being tested.

The eighth-level workers who were transferred to help hadn't left yet, so Wang Weidong had to take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze out their remaining value.

There are a lot of ideas in his mind, and Jiang Gong, a second-hand inventor, is far from enough.

There is such a good opportunity now, of course not to be missed.

Time is busy, and it passes unconsciously.

Except for having a meal with Ding Qiunan at noon, Wang Weidong spent the rest of his time in the laboratory discussing new product design ideas.

It wasn't until close of get off work that Secretary Chen found the workshop and pulled Wang Weidong out of the new research.

"Brother Chen, is the factory manager looking for me again?" Wang Weidong asked Secretary Chen while wiping his hands.

After looking around, Secretary Chen leaned into Wang Weidong's ear and said, "The big leader is here, and he is in the conference room. He wants to talk to you over there. Weidong, you have to be prepared. It's a burden for you."

"What?"

Wang Weidong was taken aback. It took him only two months to be promoted to supervisor.

Now we have to add more burdens to him, isn't this speed a bit fast?

According to this trend, he will be promoted to factory manager in less than a year.

"Don't get excited, this is a good thing. You have to perform well in front of the leader later, and don't leave a bad impression on others." Secretary Chen warned.

Although he was a little envious of Wang Weidong's climbing speed, he was quite happy in his heart.

Wang Weidong is not a white-eyed wolf, he has helped Wang Weidong a lot in the past.

These favors are all real. Wang Weidong is going to be promoted, which is also good for him.

Wang Weidong nodded vigorously, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

"Brother Chen, please tell me about this leader."

If you want to make a good impression on people, you have to prescribe the right medicine.

Secretary Chen didn't hide it either, and immediately explained the habits and hobbies of the great leader to Wang Weidong.

This trip is more than three hours.

By the time Wang Weidong came out of the conference room, the sky had completely darkened, and the workers in the rolling mill had already left work.

Stepping on the motorcycle, Wang Weidong saw Nanyi as soon as he left the factory.

Nanyi squatted in the cold wind, his nose was almost freezing, and a box was tied to the bicycle next to him.

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Nanyi stood up and walked towards Wang Weidong.

"You finally finished the meeting? I've been waiting for a long time!"

Wang Weidong looked a little embarrassed, how could he know that Nanyi would be waiting for him all the time.

"I was called to a meeting temporarily, and I forgot to tell you, why don't you come to my place, how many drinks should we brothers have?"

Nanyi shook his head when he heard the words, and said: "I still don't want it. Didn't you say that you are going to the old man's house? It doesn't matter if you let me go. If you want to let your old man go, be careful that he will wear shoes for you in the future."

Only then did Wang Weidong remember that he had agreed with Ding Qiunan to go to Ding's house for dinner.

"Then let's meet again another day!"

"Yeah!" Nanyi nodded, and said, "I've prepared the roasted whole lamb for you. It's placed in a wooden box and wrapped in steamed buns. It's still hot. I'll put it on the shelf later, and use a knife to roast it." Just cut and eat."

"Okay, did you keep your share?" Wang Weidong asked.

"Is it up to you to say that? I'm sure I'll keep it! All right, stop talking nonsense with me, and hurry to Ding's house!"

Nan Yi urged Wang Weidong, feeling that he was more anxious than Wang Weidong, the client.

Wang Weidong smiled and didn't say much. Together with Nanyi, he unloaded the simple incubator he made from the bicycle and tied it to the back seat of the motorcycle.

Then straddled it, stomped on it a few times, lit the fire, and left with a whistling of the accelerator.

Ding family.

Ding Qiunan's family was sitting at the dinner table talking.

Mother Ding looked outside the house, then at the dishes on the table, and asked Ding Qiunan, "Qiu Nan, is Wei Dong still coming? The dishes are getting cold."

Ding Qiunan replied hesitantly: "Should come, he was called to a meeting by the leader, and I don't know when it will be, why don't we eat first!"

At this time, Ding Boren said: "Let's wait a little longer, he is doing something serious, and he didn't mean to release our pigeons, just wait a little longer!"

Ding Qiushan and his wife on the side also nodded.

Thanks to Wang Weidong's arrangement of jobs for them, both of them are very satisfied with this sister-in-law.

Not to mention waiting for two hours, even waiting for one night is not a problem.

beep beep~
A crisp horn sound came from outside the house.

Ding Qiunan stood up abruptly and ran outside.

Ding Boren and the others followed closely behind.

When the son-in-law comes to the door in the future, they have to greet him. This is the most basic etiquette.

Opening the door, Ding Qiunan and the others saw Wang Weidong as expected.

At this time, he was unloading boxes from the car, seeing this, Ding Qiushan quickly stepped forward to help.

Ding Qiushan asked curiously: "Weidong, what are you doing?"

"Roast the whole lamb, I asked someone to get a lamb, and I asked Nan Yi from the cafeteria class to prepare it." Wang Weidong replied.

"We're all on our own, so why spend so much money? If you have money, save it. You're going to get engaged soon. There will be plenty of places to spend your money in the future!"

This was said by Ding's mother, but it can be seen from the smiling expression on her face that she is very satisfied with Wang Weidong's actions.

Just kidding, these days, when a young son-in-law goes to his father-in-law's house, it is considered a great gift to carry two taels of meat.

This is roast lamb.

Even Minister Wang's family at the entrance of the alley is not so rich.

"Didn't I hear from Qiu Nan that my sister-in-law has been greedy recently and wants to eat meat? It just so happens that I have resources, and now my sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, so I have to take care of her as a key object!"

When Ding Qiunan heard this, he was just about to say that he hadn't said it when he received Wang Weidong's look.

She suddenly came to her senses, and immediately swallowed back the words that had come to her lips.

It's like drinking honey in my heart, Brother Wei Dong is trying to save face for her.

Shouldn't it be rewarded tonight?

And Ding Boren began to direct his son.

"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and help Weidong move things in! Could it be that you still want to wait for me to do it?"

Ding Qiushan was not angry when he heard this, and stepped forward to help Wang Weidong carry the incubator into the room with a smile.

When they got inside and opened the box, they saw the lamb meat that was still emitting heat, but everyone had a hard time.

"How do I eat this sheep? Why don't I take it into the kitchen and chop it up first?" Mother Ding suggested.

"No, no, no." Wang Weidong shook his head, and said to Ding Qiushan, "Brother Qiushan, you can find a rack and get a roasting pot. Let's just cut and eat. People on the grassland are like this."

"Okay, I'll go now!"

Without saying a word, Ding Qiushan turned around and went to look for a shelf and a brazier.

Not long after, Ding Qiushan came back.

Wang Weidong stepped forward to help light the fire on the brazier, and put the lamb on the rack.

Nanyi’s culinary skills are undeniable. The mutton is golden on the outside, crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, and fragrant.

The cold wind was howling outside, and the wintersweet tree was shivering with cold.

A large family gathered around the brazier, chatting while eating mutton.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

After drinking and eating, the women were responsible for cleaning the tableware, while the three men drank tea and chatted.

Chatting and chatting, inevitably talked about work.

Ding Qiushan is now a member of the eleventh workshop, but Ding Boren is expected to be transferred back to the machinery factory in the next year.

With such an eighth-level worker, and his own father-in-law, Wang Weidong felt that it would be unreasonable if he didn't dig into the wall.

"Uncle, you see Brother Qiushan and sister-in-law are already in the eleventh workshop, why don't you come over too."

Ding Boren frowned when he heard the words, and said hesitantly: "Is this not good? A family is crowded in a workshop, and it is easy to be gossiped, especially when you are still at a critical moment. It is not good to be labeled as a public servant. .”

Wang Weidong shook his head with a smile, and said: "Uncle, you are different from Brother Qiushan and the others. You are an eighth-level worker, and you are a favorite no matter where you are, and our workshop happens to be short of an eighth-level worker to sit in the town. Instead of begging others outside, I might as well invite you!"

Wang Weidong also has his own little plan in mind.

The rare existence of an eighth-level worker, not to mention the present, is still a very sought-after talent even in later generations.

This kind of talent, you have to hold on to it and not talk about it. Whether you will work or not, and what kind of work you will do, depends on the mood of the person.

This is not something that can be cultivated with hard work, it depends on personal talent.

Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter, and if he doesn't risk his life, he can live a comfortable life.

But he didn't have any clues in his heart, so he made himself like a street mouse.

Ding Boren is different from other eighth-level workers.

It's not that his technique is better, but that his relationship with Wang Weidong is different.

They are all a family, so in the future, if his son-in-law entrusts his father-in-law to do something, does he dare not care?
In case the equipment is ruined and I lose face, my daughter will not be able to get tough at her husband's house in the future!

Hearing Wang Weidong's words, Ding Boren began to think seriously.

His son-in-law, son and daughter-in-law worked under him again.

If you don't want to help him, who will?

In addition, he has seen Wang Weidong's performance during this period of time.

Such a son-in-law is really impossible to find with a lantern.

After thinking for a long time, Ding Boren finally said, "This job transfer is not something I can decide. It still needs to be approved by the factory."

Wang Weidong laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said: "You only need to agree to it. The machinery factory still owes me a favor. I will ask Director Yang to help intercede. Uncle, you just need to be prepared."

Ding Boren nodded and didn't say much.

People in this age are also relatively simple-minded, they don't think about pampering and being coquettish, but they think that since they have a relationship with Wang Weidong, they must not embarrass him, otherwise how will he convince the public in the future?

After finalizing the matter, the three chatted about engagement and decoration.

It was only a few days away from the set date, and all the invitations that should be sent out had already been sent out.

The Ding family still didn't mention the dowry, they didn't want the money.

But if people don't say it, it doesn't mean that Wang Weidong can pretend to be stupid.

This is related to Ding Qiunan's face, naturally the more the better.

Of course, you can't play a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

This chat lasted for several hours, and finally even the three women from Ding's family joined in.

It wasn't until the clock in the main room rang that everyone realized that it was getting late.

Ding Qiunan glanced at Wang Weidong, and then at Ding Boren.

It was so late, and it was freezing outside, she definitely didn't want Wang Weidong to go back.

However, it was difficult to ask him to stay overnight.

Ding Boren noticed his daughter's expectant eyes and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

He took the initiative to say to Wang Weidong: "It's so late, don't go back, just stay for one night!"

Wang Weidong was startled for a while, and then nodded immediately after realizing it.

This is the first time the father-in-law has kept him overnight.

Cough, how can I not give face.

Of course, it is impossible to share the same bed with Ding Qiunan.

Ding's house happened to have an empty room with a wooden bed in it.

The gifts Wang Weidong sent over last time included cotton quilts, so they just took them out and used them.

Seeing that his father had left Wang Weidong behind, Ding Qiunan also had a bright smile on his face.

This means that Ding Boren has completely accepted Wang Weidong as his son-in-law.

After a peaceful night.

Coming out of the room, Wang Weidong saw Ding Boren doing Tai Chi in the yard.

It doesn't seem to be the same as the Taijiquan played by the old man and the old lady in the park in the memory of his previous life.

Out of curiosity, he imitated it from the sidelines.

After Ding Boren noticed Wang Weidong's movements, he simply called him forward and patiently explained some tricks to him.

I don't know if I don't hear it, I'm startled when I hear it.

Only then did Wang Weidong know that Lao Ding was the direct heir of a certain Tai Chi school.

Taijiquan seems to be weak and weak, but in fact it implies inner strength.

I don't know if it can kill people, but it is more than enough for self-defense against a few hooligans.

However, Ding Qiunan, as a daughter, was excluded because of the ancient bad habit of passing on sons but not daughters in the Ding family.

Otherwise, Cui Dake would have been beaten down by Ding Qiunan.

Wang Weidong was immediately taken aback.

After deciding to learn something from the old man, he passed it on to Ding Qiunan.

It's not bad to be able to strengthen your body without seeking to defeat the enemy.

The military boxing he practiced is too domineering and not suitable for Ding Qiunan to learn.
