Fang Rong happened to gather some of Xia Ming's hot pot base and some butter. She also gave her a bucket of cooking oil and a small bucket of high-strength liquor.

Nowadays, edible oils are mainly rapeseed oil, peanut oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, etc. There are no blended oils, and there is very little corn oil. Rapeseed oil is used as the base for hot pot.

Xia Mingshuang's bean paste and black bean paste are not available in Mingcheng. These special foods from different places rarely circulate with each other. If you want them, you have to ask someone to buy them.

Fang Rong also knows that if you have a good meal, you are not afraid of being late. She would rather cook an authentic hot pot base together than deal with it casually.

If we were to deal with it, we wouldn't need so many ingredients. The hotpot that the locals eat in winter, the meat and vegetables cooked in bone soup, was also very fragrant, but didn't she want to try another kind?

She left Xia Mingshuang to have lunch.

Originally, Xia Mingshuang wanted to go to Zhao Huilan to ask her to help inquire about Zhan Jiayi, but Zhao Huilan had to give up when she went to the capital for a meeting to study recently. Zhao Huilan was also very busy before. Not only did the hospital have many patients, she also had a lot of favors as an expert. Many prominent people went to the hospital and asked her to see them. Most of them could not refuse and had to accept it.

As for Zhao Huilan's jam, Zhong Lian would deliver it to her home, and Zhao Huilan's husband would give it away.

Fang Rong and Xia Mingshuang agreed that they would like to invite her to come to the department store to make a cream cake when she is free, so that it can be on the counter next year.

Xia Mingshuang agreed.

Before leaving in the afternoon, Fang Rong gave Xia Mingshuang a paper bag, "Don't refuse me, this is a gift from me personally."

Inside is a woolen scarf!

Buying a wool and cashmere scarf from a department store these days can be a struggle.

At this time, cashmere was not sold domestically, and cashmere products basically had to be exported to earn foreign exchange, and the country was reluctant to sell them.

This wool scarf not only requires industrial coupons but also costs almost 30 yuan.

She and Fang Rong have a cooperative relationship, and she is embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift from someone.

Xia Mingshuang was neither flattered nor frightened, so he said openly: "Sister Fang, it's not that I don't want it, it's too precious."

Fang Rong still wanted to persuade her, but then she felt that she was indeed a bit abrupt. She had only known Xia Mingshuang not long ago. She was curious about her, but her relationship hadn't reached that level yet. She didn't think anything of sending such an expensive gift all of a sudden. Xia Mingshuang would think so. under pressure.

She smiled and said, "Then if you like it, just buy it? You can give it to me after you save up the money."

Xia Mingshuang was not polite and said: "Sister Fang, if it were me, I would buy a few kilograms of wool and knit it myself." She thought this method was good, but she hadn't thought of it before. The main reason was that she didn't know how to knit wool and was too busy to care about it. superior. She immediately asked Fang Rong to help her get yarn, and she wanted to buy more.

As for the wool scarf, it is a high-end product. Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Fang Rong to wear it herself or give it to her children and mother?

She doesn't want to.

She still asked Fang Rong to help buy wool. The current wool was also made of wool. The purchase was restricted and required industrial coupons. She asked Fang Rong to help buy it without industrial coupons, and she could buy a few more kilograms.

The third sister couldn't stay idle at home, so she asked her to learn how to knit sweaters and trousers for her children, which would be enough to wear next year.

Fang Rong laughed and said, "Sure."

Fang Rong asked her to wait for a while, and first went to buy five pounds of maroon wool thread for Xia Mingshuang. Most of the wool threads are now this color. The main reason is that clothes these days are basically dark colors, either navy blue or gray, blue and black. Everyone likes bright-colored sweaters and trousers, which look good with them.

Xia Mingshuang paid the money and happily thanked Fang Rong, "Sister Fang, I want to thank you on behalf of the children. In two days, I will ask Zhong Lian to bring you candied haws."

In winter, the boiled sugar will not melt when frozen, so it is a good time to eat candied haws.

After making jam, she picked a large, plump hawthorn, removed the seeds, and made it into candied haws, which both adults and children loved.

Fang Rong was already past the greedy age of a child when she was older, but she didn't know why her mouth secreted a bag of saliva when Xia Mingshuang said that.

Suck.

Fang Rong smiled sheepishly, "Oh, you really aroused my greed."

Xia Mingshuang: "Not just hawthorn, but also yam beans, pears, apples, and oranges. I'll make it for you if I see what's suitable."

As the deputy manager, Fang Rong naturally has to manage a lot of things and employees, and eat candied haws for the salespersons below. This is also Manager Fang's great love.

How expensive is sugar now?

After Xia Mingshuang left, Fang Rong pinched the wool scarf in her hand and smiled. In fact, she liked this scarf very much. After all, it was a high-end wool scarf that ordinary employees could not buy. This was her benefit as a deputy manager.

She saw that Xia Mingshuang was shivering from the cold, her cheeks were red, and she was wearing such a rustic towel that was not worthy of her delicate face and elegant temperament. The main reason was that Xia Mingshuang could not only make various snacks, but also write such good articles. , Fang Rong suddenly lifted her up a lot in her mind, placing Xia Mingshuang among the people she admired.

Fang Rong has admired those great writers since she was a child, but unfortunately she doesn't have the guts to write good articles.

Deputy Manager Liu kept paying attention and walked over with his hands behind his back, "Xiao Fang, what are you doing?"

Fang Rong: "I'm on patrol, busy."

Deputy Manager Liu: "Xiao Fang, you have to be honest. I look at her like she doesn't know how to write articles."

Hearing her eccentric look, Fang Rong felt angry. Others were afraid of her, but she was not afraid. "Then you will look at Zhou Shuren and Bing Xin to see if they can write it?"

Deputy Manager Liu: "What acquaintance Bing Xin is, it's a mess, I have to read it before writing an article..."

Fang Rong turned around and left, "I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

I don't know many words like Deputy Manager Liu. If I can't write an article myself, I naturally think that no one else can.

Over there, Manager Shao asked Fang Rong and the others, "At the end of the year, there will be a summary and commendation meeting in the city to select red flag bearers from all walks of life and units. We must hurry up. Each of you should collect what you have on hand and report back later."

Advanced workers must be selected at the end of every year. This is a routine operation, not just in the province, but across the country. Cities and counties must also keep up with the situation.

In addition to the government's collective selection of the top ten red flag bearers, each industry will also select industry red flag bearers, and each unit will also select red flag bearers from each unit.

Anyway, the end of the year is very busy.

Xia Mingshuang also heard about this after returning to the supply and marketing cooperative. The county must select advanced supply and marketing cooperatives, the supply and marketing cooperative must select advanced workers, and the commune must select advanced brigades, production teams, and then select advanced families.

The advanced families in the brigade are not called Red Flag Bearers, but are called Five Good Families, which originated from the selection activities that began in the 50s.

The five good families must first have harmony between husband and wife, and those who are divorced or widowed are not included in this category.

Xia Mingshuang didn't think about this at all. She was an "unfilial" daughter-in-law. If she was given a good family, Mrs. Gu would probably hang herself and jump into the river to deliberately make her pornographic.

She won't grab the advanced individual. She is just a temporary worker who comes here to make money and tickets. The advanced professional title can be given to other senior employees or Wang Jinling.

Xia Mingshuang is such a salty person.
