174 Completely Impossible

Hearing Li Lang's words, Wang Jingru showed a look of rejoicing and contempt on her face. She was happy that she didn't have a blind date with Zhao Tiezhu, and she despised Xu Damao's timidity.

"Zhao Tiezhu is not really stupid, and Xu Damao is not really timid. Xu Damao is very violent at home. The last time he beat his wife, he beat his wife to the point of holding a general meeting."

"That guy named Xu Damao beat his wife. How could there be such a person, who would vent his anger on his wife when he was angry outside? It's not a thing."

"Who says no? People in this compound don't want to see the two of them. If you don't believe me, you can ask your cousin to see if what I said is true."

"Cousin, is what Li Lang said true?"

"Basically, Zhao Tiezhu was indeed punished for taking things from the back kitchen, but he wasn't punished alone, the whole cafeteria was fined."

"The people in the entire cafeteria? Was Li Lang also punished?"

"Li Lang did not. He and Xu Damao were both from the Propaganda Department of our factory. Xu Damao was a projectionist, and Li Lang was a document manager. He was transferred to the canteen after the people in the canteen were punished, but Li Lang's chef The art is very good, much better than Zhao Tiezhu, so Li Lang soon became the new chef in our factory, and his salary has increased from 22 yuan to 37 yuan per month."

"Jingru, you are here today to go on a blind date with Li Lang. Why are you two talking about Zhao Tiezhu and the others? Talk about yourself and see how you feel about each other, and see if you can get along with them."

"Sister, I know it's just me, I don't know what to say."

"Comrade Jingru, you haven't visited the city much, have you? How about I take you to see it today? Since we don't know what to say, let's talk while watching, and gradually understand."

"Yes, Jingru, I didn't think carefully. The two of you are on a blind date. What's the matter with a few light bulbs around? Since you can't let go of it at home, then you can go outside with Li Lang. The two of you below, try to get along for a while, take a look at the prosperity of the capital, and give yourself a lot of insight."

"Sister, then I will follow."

"Go, remember to go home for dinner at noon."

"Where is what Sister Wang is talking about? Although Comrade Wang Jingru and I have not established a relationship yet, if I go out with me, can I still make Comrade Jingru hungry? Sister Wang doesn't have to be Comrade Jingru at noon It's time for dinner, and I took Comrade Jingru to eat outside."

Hearing what Li Lang said, Widow Wang's face changed, but she recovered in an instant, and said to the two who were about to go out

"Li Lang, are you going to eat out? You're not cooking at home. You're the chef of our factory. Don't you plan to show off your skills to Jingru?"

Li Lang replied: "Sister Wang, I originally planned to do this, but it's already ten o'clock now, and it's time for dinner in a while, and I haven't prepared anything yet, the two of us are going outside for a chat , it was too late in time, so I had to take Comrade Jingru to eat outside."

"Comrade Jingru, it's getting late, let's go." Said that Li Lang should take Wang Jingru and leave the Wang family.

Watching Li Lang and Wang Jingru leave, the old woman Wang came out of the back room with a droopy face, and said to Widow Wang

"Huairu, didn't you say before that Li Lang and Jingru would definitely make a big table of delicious food on a blind date? Why do you go out to eat now? I didn't even eat breakfast for the noon meal, just to stay Eat that lunch with a full stomach, and they left, what should I have for lunch, this Li Lang is really not a thing, if you introduce his wife to him, he won’t even give you any favors, so you shouldn’t introduce him to his wife.”

Seeing the departure of Li Lang and Li Lang, although Widow Wang's expression was not good at this time, she still said to the old woman Wang: "Mom, what are you in a hurry for? Take a long-term view. I will introduce Li Lang's daughter-in-law, isn't it?" Just thinking about this meal, no matter how good this meal is, it's just one meal. When the two of them are done, they can eat as many meals as they want.

Do you know how powerful Li Lang is in the factory now? The director of the cafeteria has to laugh with him. Now in the factory, only leaders at the deputy factory manager level entertain others, and Li Lang will cook. Yes, he is not qualified to do it.

And Li Lang not only cooks, but the leaders also invite Li Lang to eat together. This is much better than Zhao Tiezhu. When Zhao Tiezhu is in the cafeteria, he only cooks. Wherever it is his turn to eat, he will eat with the leaders. left over leftovers.

You know what kind of person Li Lang is normally, is he the kind of person that his relatives don't recognize?After he and Jingru got married, we lived in the front yard and the back yard. We lived so close and were relatives. How could he ignore us orphans and widows? "

If Li Lang knew how Widow Wang looked at him, he would definitely tell Widow Wang
"Sister Wang, you've said so much, only what you said above is right, I'm really good in the factory, if I wasn't afraid of trouble, those people wouldn't be so simple to curry favor with me.

After all, as long as I think about it, I can use food as a drug. It may not be satisfactory for those with strong will and pure faith, but for this group of people who only know how to eat and drink all day long, it is easy to control them. The kitchen power is fully turned on, and after they are addicted to eating, they will run out of food if they are not obedient.
You are very wrong in the second half of the sentence, when facing your family, I am really the kind of person that my relatives do not recognize."

Li Lang took Wang Jingru out of the courtyard, and said as he walked
"Comrade Jingru, haven't you made your way around the capital?"

Wang Jingru lowered her head and sighed when she heard Li Lang's words, and said with a little inferiority

"No, although my home is only thirty or forty miles away from here, it belongs to the countryside and is not within the scope of the city. Because I have a rural household registration, factories in the city do not
I have to work in the fields every day, and I only earn a few work points a day. The money our family earns in a year may be equivalent to two or three months’ wages of your urban workers. After deducting daily consumption throughout the year, there may be only ten dollars,

If it wasn't for my age, my cousin told my family to take me on a blind date. I might not come here once in a few years. It would take me several days of work points just to do the bus trip. If it wasn't for the new year , the work points were settled in the commune, maybe I even have to borrow the same travel expenses as last time, borrowing from my cousin.

Hearing this, Li Lang fell silent. He had heard people say that when he didn't travel through time, the agricultural taxation was extremely high at this time, not a percentage but a quantitative one. It is not enough to hand in, and we have to borrow food to hand in.If you raise a few hundred catties of pigs yourself, you can keep ten catties at most, and you have to hand over the rest.

Li Lang knew that life in the countryside would not be good under the scissors gap, but he didn't expect this to be the case in places only tens of miles away from the capital. Now he hates himself for wearing it late. If it could be three years earlier, in the system's With the help, he may let the real yield per mu appear on this land in advance, so that the people living on this land will suffer less, but it is too late, the storm has already started, everything is too late, even if he does not give up If this life is given and the technology is handed over, nothing will be changed. Those people will not believe it, let alone carry it out.

"Comrade Li Lang, why don't you answer me? Do you think I'm from the countryside and look down on me?"

After hearing Wang Jingru's voice, Li Lang came back to his senses and said

"No, I never thought about it that way. Comrade Wang Jingru, can I just call you Jingru in the future?"

"Yes, yes." Hearing Li Lang's words, Wang Jingru said happily
"Then I'll just call you Jingru from now on, Jingru, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Wangfujing, I've always wanted to go to Wangfujing. I wanted to go when I came last time. It's a pity that my sister is too picky and won't take me there."

"Okay, let's go to Wangfujing, let's go, follow me to the bus station"

"Wangfujing shouldn't be far away. Let's walk there. It costs money to take the bus."

"Don't worry, let's go, I can afford this little money."

Wang Jingru and Li Lang, who came to Wangfujing and looked at the smiling face, also laughed.

An hour after arriving at Wangfujing, Li Lang asked Wang Jingru

"Are you hungry?"

"A little bit" Wang Jingru lowered her head and whispered to Li Lang.

"Then go eat, what do you want to eat, roast duck, hot pot or home cooking."

"I don't know, it's up to you to decide."

"Then let's go eat hot pot, it's fast, don't have to wait." Li Lang said, holding Wang Jingru's hand and walking towards the hot pot restaurant.

Wang Jingru struggled slightly, but she didn't break free, so she let Li Lang pull her with a blushing face and lowered her head.

Li Lang brought Wang Jingru to Donglaishun, and ordered four portions of mutton and two portions of seasonal vegetables. The food arrived, and it looked pretty good.

But Li Lang put down his chopsticks after just one bite. Although this hot pot restaurant is well-known in the capital, it is not very good for Li Lang. He is also so-so in his eyes.

Since Li Lang got the space and the cooking experience card of Xiaodangjia, his mouth has become more and more tricky. He is not even willing to eat the hospitality meals he made for the leaders in the factory. That's what he did, but he did it casually, and what he ate in the space was made with his best efforts.

"Li Lang, why don't you eat?" Widow Wang, who watched Li Lang not moving her chopsticks, asked

"It's too bad, it's tasteless, you can eat it, don't worry about me"

"It's not bad. I've grown up so much, and I've never eaten such a delicious thing. This is the best meal I've ever had."

"Delicious? This taste is generally not considered good. You will eat better ones in the future."

When the people around heard what Li Lang said, they all turned their heads to look at him, wanting to see who was an expert here, but when they saw Li Lang's age, they immediately showed contemptuous expressions, probably in their eyes, Li Lang is just a brat pretending to be x in front of his girlfriend.

An hour later, Li Lang asked

"Are you full?"

"I'm full, this is the fullest and best meal I've ever had in my life."

"Hehe, how old are you, you can spend your whole life at every turn, let's go, I'll take you to buy clothes."

Hearing Li Lang say this, Wang Jingru was startled and exclaimed, "Ah, Li Lang, do you still want to buy me clothes?"

"Why, can't you?"

"No, it's just that you spent so much money for me on the first day we met, I feel uneasy."

"What's there to worry about? Don't tell me you haven't taken a fancy to me?" Li Lang pretended to be fierce and said to Wang Jingru
"No, I don't." Wang Jingru explained to Li Lang in a panic
"Since you don't have one, don't refuse, let's go, I'll take you shopping, and then go shopping, it's getting late."

Li Lang went to pay the bill, took Wang Jingru's hand again, and walked towards the mall.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Lang took the brand new Wang Jingru to the courtyard.

On the way back, the two kept talking and laughing, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

Soon the two came to the gate of the courtyard, and Wang Jingru reluctantly said to Li Lang, "Li Lang, I don't want to go back to my cousin's house, I want to spend more time with you."

"Go back quickly. It's so late. It's not good for people to see us together. It's not like we won't see you tomorrow. Come to me again tomorrow morning. I'll show you my craftsmanship. It's better than you can eat at noon." The hot pot and the roast duck at night are much more delicious.”

Under Li Lang's persuasion, Wang Jingru walked towards Jia's house without turning her head.Li Lang watched Wang Jingru enter Widow Wang's house, turned around and returned to his own home, closed the doors and windows, and entered the Kongkong Farm and Ranch, where he was going to have a feast.

After shopping for a whole day, Li Lang basically didn't eat anything. Whether it was Donglaishun's boiled mutton or Quanjude's roast duck, it was difficult to get into Li Lang's mouth. One was because of cooking skills, and the other was because of the ingredients.

The prices of these two stores are much cheaper than before, but the taste is also quite different. Due to the shortage of supplies, the selection of ingredients has declined. It is estimated that there are not enough seasonings. Li Lang's space kitchen does not need to prepare seasonings , the requirement for complete materials is only limited to the main materials. As long as the main materials are complete, the kitchen space will automatically generate dishes. I have to say that sometimes it is a pain if the cooking skills are too high, and it is easy to spoil the mouth and stomach.

Widow Wang's home.

At this time, Widow Wang's family was having dinner. Seeing Wang Jingru who opened the door, the whole family was shocked. Is this the little rural girl in their impression? How come she has become so beautiful after seeing her for a day.

Widow Wang looked at the clothes on Wang Jingru, with a jealous look in her eyes, and asked in a sour tone.

"Your clothes, did Li Lang buy them?"

Wang Jingru looked at Widow Wang with a flash of disgust. During the conversation with Li Lang today, she knew that Li Lang gave her cousin fifty cents as travel expenses for herself, but Widow Wang never mentioned it to herself. He also said that she was doing things for herself and asked herself to pay for her travel expenses. It was too shameless. If it wasn't for the fact that she really had no place to live, she wouldn't come to their house.

However, when Wang Jingru heard Widow Wang talking about Li Lang, she immediately regained her spirits, walked around in front of Widow Wang, and said to Widow Wang with a smile.

"Of course Li Lang bought it for me. I don't have any money. Sister, look at me in this dress. Does Li Lang treat me very well?"
