Era: Life's Big Winner

Chapter 40 The First Pot of Gold

"Let's call Sister Junling to come with us tonight! Let's go to my mom's house and have a good meal."

On the way, Liu Hongchang suggested: "Brother Dunzi often doesn't come back, and Sister Junling is all alone."

"I really didn't think of this. Okay, I'll invite her when I get to the factory." He Wenhui said with a smile.

"Speaking of Senior Sister, she also taught me a lot about how to get along with my spouse!"

Liu Hongchang asked curiously, "Oh? What did he tell you?"

"This is a private conversation between women, I won't tell you!" He Wenhui said shyly.

Liu Hongchang didn't ask any more questions, and said, "I'll be the chef tonight, you guys go directly over, I'll be back later."

"When you get there, don't confront Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying head-on. If you have any problems, just ask mom to handle it."

He Wenhui listened quietly, and when he finished, she asked curiously, "Speaking of the chef, did you go out to collect your wages last night?"

"Yes. There is work this week and all the wages have been paid in advance." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenhui's eyes lit up and she asked happily, "How much did you earn?"

"There are seven families in total, five dollars each, and one family has a big job at the end of the month." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenhui was overjoyed and said, "Great! If there is work every day, you can earn more in a month than I do in a year."

"Haha, now you know how comfortable it is to marry me?" Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

He Wenhui curled her lips and said, "I didn't marry you for money, I just wanted to thank you for helping me all the time."

"Of course, I do have selfish motives. I am the only one earning money in the family, and the pressure is too great. I need a man to help me."

Liu Hongchang said leisurely: "Then just marrying someone without consummating the marriage?"

"Oh, why are you talking about this again? Am I not very obedient now?" He Wenhui said ashamedly.

Liu Hongchang sneered: "If I keep accommodating you, who knows when I will get what I want."

"I was wrong. You can do whatever you want from now on. Is that okay?" He Wenhui begged for mercy with a blushing face.

She was indeed in the wrong in this matter, and Liu Hongchang would probably talk about it for the rest of her life, but she couldn't refute it.

Liu Hongchang stopped by the roadside, turned back and whispered a few words.

The more He Wenhui listened, the redder she became. She felt very shy. She looked at him with seductive eyes and nodded silently.

"That's almost right. I'll go get some suitable oil and we'll use it tonight." Liu Hongchang chuckled twice and continued on his way.

He Wenhui leaned on his back, pursed her lips, and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid it will get too big and I won't be able to go to work tomorrow."

"Don't worry, I know my limits. If you really can't go to work, I'll ask Sister Junling to ask for leave for you." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

"I have walked all your other paths, except this one. If I don't walk this path, it will always feel incomplete. You have to support me."

He Wenhui hummed softly, blushing and saying, "I am your woman, isn't it my duty to cooperate with you in doing these things?"

Although she said that, she felt a little scared and expectant at the same time. In just a few days after getting married, she had gained a lot of experience.

After a while, we arrived at the garment factory.

Liu Hongchang watched He Wenhui enter the factory before turning around and heading to the second canteen.

From a distance, he saw He Guixiang standing at the back door of the cafeteria, looking bored, probably waiting for him.

"Guixiang!" Liu Hongchang rode his bike forward and shouted with a smile.

He Guixiang was delighted when she heard the shout. She looked around and saw that no one was around. Then she whispered:
"I followed your advice and used my connections to buy a small courtyard house right here. You can come find me there in the future."

After Liu Hongchang wrote down the address, he nodded and smiled, "I'm free from 8 to 10 a.m. and from 1 to p.m.."

"That's great. You can go this morning. I miss you so much. Two hours will be enough." He Guixiang said impatiently.

She was still wearing the orange sweater, which made her skin look rosy and her figure look particularly plump. Liu Hongchang looked at her for a few times and nodded, "I will definitely go. I'm envious of you too!"

"Then it's settled. I'm yours, and you can do whatever you want with me later." He Guixiang said affectionately.

The deal was settled, and she left reluctantly.

"This woman is so charming. It's a pity to leave her alone. I have to have sex with her every day." Liu Hongchang pressed his trousers and entered the cafeteria.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Liuzi said that Director Yao wanted to see him about something, so Liu Hongchang went to the director's office.

"As soon as I got here, Lao Zhao called and said that he would like you to be the chef in the evening." Director Yao handed a cigarette to Liu Hongchang and said.

Liu Hongchang took the cigarette, sat down opposite him, and asked in confusion: "Something happened?"

"Nothing has happened. I'm just reminding you not to stand me up." Director Yao shook his head and smiled.

Liu Hongchang laughed and said, "How is that possible? As long as the sky doesn't fall, I won't break my promise."

"That's great. Reputation is very important. Once you lose it, it will be difficult to get back on your feet." Director Yao said with relief.

"I have something else to tell you in advance. I will be transferred to the street level by the end of the year at the latest."

Liu Hongchang could see this, and he naturally knew that the future development of the canteen unit was difficult to predict, so he had to plan early.

"Congratulations!" Liu Hongchang said with a smile, and then he was curious: "Did those two jars of wine yesterday work?"

"Well, I thought it was something uncertain, but I didn't expect it to be done so easily." Director Yao said happily with a beaming face.

After a pause, he restrained his smile and reminded: "I only told you this, and I didn't tell anyone else."

"I understand. Everything is uncertain until the last moment. I will forget everything once I walk out of this door." Liu Hongchang nodded.

"The reason you told me this is that I should want to continue buying wine?"

Director Yao nodded and said, "That's what I mean. So you need to think of a way to deal with the wine."

"And Lao Zhao and the others will probably talk to you about this tonight, so you should be aware of it."

Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "I have inquired this time. It is hard to buy old wine, but new wine is widely available."

"But the other party also said that using ordinary liquor to make medicinal wine has an effect, but it is not very obvious."

"After years of fermentation, the medicinal properties of the old wine have been fully stimulated. It is absorbed quickly and the effect is immediate."

"New wine doesn't have this benefit. Many of its medicinal properties haven't been stimulated, and people absorb it slowly. Drinking too much is harmful to your health."

Director Yao frowned and said, "Of course you should buy old wine. New wine is sold everywhere. Why bother with so much effort?"

"That's the thing, but the amount of old wine is limited!" Liu Hongchang sighed.

Due to the time acceleration limit, even he dared not say that he could supply the old wine freely, but the current stock was enough for him to consume for a long time.

Director Yao thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy it first! Buy as much as we can. If there's nothing left, we'll see what happens next."

"That's right. Life has become different since I last drank old wine, right?" Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

Director Yao laughed and scolded, "It's because you've drunk it that you can't forget it. If you haven't drunk it, you won't think about it so often."

Then he took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Liu Hongchang, saying:
"I'll give you a thousand dollars first, just in case. Don't wait until you can buy some wine but don't have the money, and miss the opportunity."

"We haven't signed any written receipt, aren't you afraid that I'll take the money and deny it?" Liu Hongchang asked with a smile.

Director Yao chuckled and said, "It's not a bad idea to spend a thousand dollars to get a clear view of a person's character. I believe you are not so short-sighted."

"Just kidding. Although one thousand yuan is a huge sum of money, it is not difficult for me to earn it." Liu Hongchang said with a smile.

Originally, I wanted to make connections by giving people medicinal wine, but I didn't expect that my first pot of gold would come from this. It was an unintentional act.
