Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 616 Set a date for getting married

In the courtyard at the front door, Shazhu, Aiguo and Aimin, who came over after get off work as usual, saw two cars parked outside the courtyard before they entered the courtyard.

He immediately guessed that Chu Xiangqian might be back.

The patriots and the people were naturally overjoyed, and Shazhu was also a little excited.

It’s not that he has a deep friendship with Chu Xiangqian, but besides being a good neighbor with Chu Xiangqian and having Patriot who is about to become his brother-in-law, the fact that Chu Xiangqian is back means that he can get game.

During the previous food shortage, although the steel rolling mill had been trying its best to get more oil and water, to be honest, even Deputy Director Li did not dare to open a small stove in the canteen during such a difficult time.

So even if we get game, it basically goes to the big canteen to supplement the nutrition of our comrades.

But now that there has been no shortage of food in the capital for two months, and the 2 kilograms quota that was previously reduced for everyone has been restored, the leaders of the factory naturally dared to withhold part of the game they obtained and open a small stove in the name of entertainment.

But in this way, more meat was consumed all of a sudden.

Logistics director Xie Zhende has asked Shazhu, Aiguo and Aimin more than once when Chu Xiangqian will come back.

And since everyone is almost a relative, there really is no need to be so reserved.

The most difficult part of this dish is naturally four pheasants and about 4 pounds of chestnuts, but it is very simple for Chu Xiangqian.

As the saying goes, there is no matchmaking in the twelfth lunar month and no church visits in the first lunar month. The day a week after the Lantern Festival is an excellent day. The second uncle had already discussed this matter with the first uncle and the deaf old lady.

If it's like tonight, if there are 10 dishes on a table, 4 large meat dishes, 4 stir-fried dishes with meat, 2 green vegetables and 2 soup dishes, then it's really deliberately showing off and making people envious.

As for the age of rainwater, as long as the application is approved and approved by the neighborhood committee and the street, everything will be fine.

If you really want to eat well, then your close relatives can prepare two tables in the courtyard near the front door and eat with the door closed.

Silly Zhu didn't compete to be the chef this time, but said that since he married his sister, he should take a break from being a brother-in-law.

He even deliberately made others jealous.

Moreover, it is actually enough to help people who are patriotic and loving to wash dishes and tidy up.

After eating and drinking, the women went to clear away the dishes, but unfortunately the mistress did not let Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng, Feifei and Aiyuan do anything.

Chu Xiangqian first asked his master and the others about what happened in the past month or two. Seeing that there were no surprises, he had time to talk to Shazhu about the marriage between Patriot and Yuyu.

Chu Xiangqian simply took his wife, sister, and Shazhu to sit in the main room with his master, Yixiantian and Lao Jiang, drinking tea, smoking and chatting.

In addition, I have been cooking here for more than half a year, so I speak very casually.

When outsiders hear it, they won’t think it’s showing off.

So as long as the age difference is not too big, it doesn't matter whether you are 17 or 18, or under 18.
-
After finishing talking about the business, Aiguo, Aimin and the master's wife also put away and washed the dishes and went into the main room together to sit and chat.

After all, Chu Xiangqian used to be able to hunt wild boars, tigers, leopards and wolves in the mountains. To the neighbors around Luogu Lane, the four pheasants made Chu Xiangqian feel like he was not trying his best.

Now that Chu Xiangqian is back, of course he should ask him.

After a meal of 10 dishes and two soups, plus white rice and three bottles of Maotai, even Feifei, a rich lady who is accustomed to the craftsmanship of master chefs in Hong Kong Island, was full of praise for Shazhu's craftsmanship.

When the time comes, go to the neighborhood committee to get a marriage certificate, and you will be a legal couple.

If I could get a wild boar, there would be a bonus of thirty yuan at least.

But Chu Xiangqian is not stupid, he knows that everything must be done in a certain way.

Although they didn't explicitly say that they wanted to get wild boars from Chu Xiangqian, the three of them immediately knew what Xie Zhende meant.

Chicken giblets stir-fried with shredded radish, chicken rack stewed with cabbage vermicelli, a large pot of braised chicken with chestnuts, and finally a vegetarian dish.

Maybe some people would gossip that he, the eldest brother, didn't care about his cousin's marriage.

So after discussing the dishes for guests in Luogu Lane, Chu Xiangqian and Shazhu quickly decided to have one pheasant per table.

Not only have the second uncle and the second aunt been making preparations, but also for getting married these days, the most important thing to worry about is actually the dishes that need to be prepared for the wedding banquet.

When other people get married, they can get one or two meat dishes, three or four vegetarian dishes, and two two-faced steamed buns per person, which is considered an excellent wedding banquet dish.

However, the four of Xue Jinglan entered the main hall and sat on a row of chairs against the wall very discerningly.

In fact, Chu Xiangqian didn’t need to worry about this matter, and he didn’t even need to make any fuss about it.

As for Ehime, she all depends on what Chu Xiangqian wants.

By the way, he also asked his master Gong Changqing for his opinion, so Chu Xiangqian had no opinion at all.

Chu Xiangqian could guess what the superiors were thinking, which was that they wished all the men in the Chu family would marry girls from the mainland and work and live in the mainland.

Not to mention that the eldest brother in the Chu family, Chu Qianqian, could get everything. Just as a salesperson at the Second Aunt Supply and Marketing Cooperative, he could get more things than most ordinary people.

The official date is scheduled for March next year.

Shazhu was already engaged because of his patriotism and Yuyu, and was getting married after the Chinese New Year. Although he was still very respectful to his master and his wife in the Qianmen Courtyard, his mentality became somewhat casual.

As they talked, they started talking about how the family would have a meal at the front door in the evening after waiting for the guests in Luogu Lane.

Xue Jinglan, the sister-in-law, wanted to do something patriotic, and Feifei and Hong Kong Sheng even chattered a lot about how to do it in a lively manner.

Besides, it was not for him, the eldest brother, to make the decision in the first place. After all, his second uncle and third uncle were both here.

Everyone laughed, but this was actually true. After all, Chu Xiangqian couldn’t find other chefs. There was no need to marry the girl in the He family, and Silly Zhu, the elder brother, would cook for the Chu family. Cooking meals.

If you can really get game, according to Xie Zhende, you will be treated as a temporarily assigned buyer. You can get corresponding bonuses according to how many purchasing tasks you complete.

As for the erhe noodle steamed buns, it is indispensable for each guest to eat 2 taels of food stamps.

It doesn't sound good if you say it out loud.

So Chu Xiangqian said happily that he would spend some money to invite Nan Yi.

But before she could say anything, Feifei suddenly said, "When I came to the capital last time, didn't I meet the first-class chef of the capital hotel?

How about asking the master chef and his apprentices to prepare two Tan's dishes in advance? "

When Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong Sheng and Eyuan were in Hong Kong Island, they ate Tan's cuisine cooked by He Daqing.

What He Daqing cooks is so delicious, so what is cooked by a first-class chef and apprentice who has been cooking in the Beijing Hotel and has never left the kitchen will definitely be more delicious.

Chu Qianqian saw his three daughters-in-law and one biological sister all looking at him. He thought carefully that the old master knew that his family was not short of money last time, so he nodded.

"I'll call them tomorrow to see if they're free."

Silly Zhu said directly, "It's a simple matter. Anyway, there are still three months. I'll go over and tell you tomorrow. It's not a big problem. It's just the price."

Chu waved his hand forward. Silly Zhu went out to do private work, cooking for people and paying one or two yuan per table.

Chu Xiangqian wouldn't be surprised if a first-class chef like this costs one hundred yuan per table.

These days, some famous opera actors can earn three to five hundred yuan for a performance, and a monthly income of two to three thousand is normal.

Otherwise, during the storm, there wouldn’t be so many people staring at people in the cultural and entertainment circles.

Seeing Chu Qianqian saying that money was not an issue, Silly Zhu smiled and nodded, "40 per table, and if everyone is given a pack of good cigarettes, it should be no problem."

Chu Qianqian agreed directly without any counter-offer, and now Shazhu felt even more proud.

The teacher's wife and Gong Er took Xue Jinglan, Hong Kong students and others, laughing and joking about their embarrassing patriotism.

After the business conversation was over, the topic wandered off somewhere, and Silly Zhu took the opportunity to whisper to Chu Qianqian, "Qianqian, my director came to me several times and asked when you would be back.

If it's convenient for you, could you help the factory bring back one or two wild boars? "

After that, he talked about getting the wild boar back, and he, Aiguo, and Aimin would all get bonuses.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about tens of dollars, but for Shazhu, Aiguo, and Aimin, it was just one month's salary, and it was hard not to be active.

Not to mention that Shazhu is about to marry his sister and Aiguo is about to marry his wife. The two of them are now very interested in salary increases and bonuses.

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and then said with a smile, "I'm not sure about the wild boar. After all, I don't go hunting in the mountains by myself. I might not be able to meet a hunter and catch one by chance.

But I did get the exact information about Blind Bear, and I was able to get one or two from the mountains to the north. "

The bears in Novice Village, except for the white rice fish, are collected as usual, along with wild boars, foxes, and wolves, and sold to some related outdoorsmen in Hong Kong Island. There are now at least five or six thousand bears in stock.

So recently, when Chu Xiangqian was playing monsters in the game, he wanted to use only collection skills to collect animal skins, bear paws, tiger skins, tiger whips, etc. for bears, wolves, foxes, tigers, and sharks.

No other meat or bones are needed.

But with one collection technique, not only the fur, bones, meat, and internal organs are collected, but even the claws, teeth, etc. are automatically stored in the portable storage space.

As expected, Silly Zhu was not surprised but overjoyed.

Since they are both game, blind bears are naturally more rare than wild boars.

It's a pity that even though Silly Zhu knows how to make bear paws, he has never gotten started with it.

If you want to eat this stuff, you must go to a master chef in a state-owned restaurant.

But this was not a problem for Shazhu. He smiled and whispered, "Then it's agreed. If you have one end, you need one, and if there are two ends, the factory can definitely wrap them up."

After speaking, an inexplicable smile appeared in his eyes, he looked around, and whispered again, "Look, the factory will not exchange money for you this time."

Chu Qianqian was stunned, and then he heard Silly Zhu continue, "Nan Guangsheng is still young, and other buyers in the factory this year can get three to five kilograms of eggs every month, which is considered good.

But his boy can get several kilograms of meat every month. "

After saying this, Shazhu chuckled and said, "Although this boy is not like before, he can complete the purchase task of 20 kilograms of meat every month.

However, the few kilograms of meat obtained every month may not seem impressive, but it still attracted the attention of other buyers.

Although this kid is stubborn and refuses to say anything, a thoughtful person can still guess that he got the game from you.

Otherwise, this kid will definitely be beaten. "

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and then nodded. What Silly Zhu said was indeed reasonable. Then his heart moved, and he saw Silly Zhu smiling and saying, "My director has collected some good antiques recently.

If you have game in your hand, just move around more with our director. "

Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that Nan Guangsheng had been tricked into talking.

Or maybe he let something slip.

As for the antiques in the hands of Xie Zhende and Deputy Director Li, they might have gotten them without spending any money at all.

And the two of them may not necessarily exchange the really good things.

But think about it, this is normal. Some good things these days are not considered national treasures, but a few decades later, they are real treasures worth tens of millions or even over 100 million.

Besides, as long as they were not given away for free, Chu Qianqian wished he could buy more antiques and hide them in his hands.

He smiled and nodded, "Give me a day or two. After the blind bear arrives, I will let Aiguo tell you. If there are any good things over there, I will find a way to get them back together."

Silly Zhu was overjoyed and did not doubt the origin of Xiong Xiazi at all.

He's not a nerd who doesn't listen to what's going on outside the window. The mountains around the capital have been plundered by hungry and dizzy people.

Even the wild vegetables that appear in spring, summer and autumn before winter will be dug up by people whenever they grow, even if they are seedlings.

As long as the bark and grass roots in the mountains are edible, they have basically been plundered. In this case, all wild beasts can only hide in the mountains.

Otherwise, they will be beaten back and eaten by various communes, factories, even militiamen and villagers from mountainside villages carrying guns.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian said that Xiong Xiangzi was from the north, which was in line with outsiders' expectations.
-
At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Shazhu also returned to Luogu Lane with his love for his country and his people.

Only then did Old Man Gong call Chu Qianqian and lead him into the secret room of the courtyard carrying a lantern.

It seems that only half a year has passed, and dozens of pieces of porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, and jade have been placed on the hardwood shelves in the secret room.

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up to my master.

Old Man Gong was secretly proud. He picked up four sets of calligraphy and paintings and placed them on the long table in the secret room, opened them together, and then said with a smile, "I know you like calligraphy and paintings of celebrities. These four paintings of rivers, flowers, birds, insects and trees are Ju Lian's treasures.

Just buying these four paintings cost 2 yuan and 2 kilograms of dried fish. "

Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian had been giving all the money he earned from selling 7 kilograms of dried fish to the streets and steel rolling mills every month to Old Man Gong.

Otherwise, Gong Changqing might not be able to buy something really good if he encounters it.

Even if he has some wealth, after one or two attempts, he will basically lose all his money.

After hearing the quotation, Chu Xiangqian didn't care at all. Although Mr. Miraiju's paintings are not of the highest price, he is a master of his own school.

Of course, what Chu Xiangxiang cares about is not how much the painting is worth, but appreciating and learning the techniques and artistic conception in the painting.

After looking at it for half an hour, he smiled with satisfaction.
