Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

The two of them went to a small restaurant nearby, ordered a few side dishes and two bottles of beer, and sat down to eat and drink slowly. Jia Dongxu raised his glass and said, "Zhou Dong, cheers to our cooperation."

Zhou Dong also raised his glass and said with a smile: "Cheers, cheers to our friendship."

After taking a sip of wine, he said, "Zhou Dong, you are such a good partner. Since we started working together, the performance of the factory has obviously improved a lot."

"Dongxu, you are also a good partner. Without your coordination and arrangement, I can't do this alone.

"By the way, Zhou Dong, I heard that you like carpentry very much. Take me to see your works when you have time. Come to my house some other day and I will show you." Jia Dongxu came to Zhou Dong's courtyard. Zhou Dong warmly invited him into the house and took him to visit his carpentry workshop. Jia Dongxu looked at the exquisite woodworking products and exclaimed, "Zhou Dong, your craftsmanship is really amazing, and these things are so beautiful. Dongxu, these are all made when I have nothing to do. There is nothing special.

"You are too modest. These works are all works of art. If we can hold an exhibition, it will definitely attract a lot of people," Jia Dongxu suggested.

Zhou Dong shook his head. "There's no need for an exhibition. I do this just for my own enjoyment." "You are such a sentimental person."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Dong suddenly asked: "Dongxu, do you have any new plans recently?" "Yes, I am thinking of taking a few more big orders to improve the performance of the factory to a higher level. Zhou Dong, I will need your help when the time comes."

"Of course, I'm always ready. Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu continued to work together in the factory, taking on several big orders, and the factory's production tasks became more and more. They were very busy every day, but both of them enjoyed it.

One day, the factory held a staff meeting to commend several outstanding employees. Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu were both named outstanding employees, and the factory director personally awarded them certificates and bonuses.

"Zhou Dong, Dong Xu, you two are really the backbone of our factory," the factory director praised at the meeting. We will definitely live up to your expectations.

After the meeting, Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard together. The neighbors in the courtyard gathered around to congratulate them.

"Zhou Dong, Brother Jia, congratulations to you. We have such outstanding employees like you in our hospital," Yan Bugui said with a smile.

“Thank you everyone, it is because of your support and help that we have achieved today’s results.

Qin Huairu also came over with Xiaoyaner and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, Dongxu, you are really amazing. We are lucky to have such good neighbors like you."

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, please don't say that."

At this time, Liu Haizhong also came over and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, Dongxu, I really admire you, you are our role models." "Haizhong, the people in our courtyard will get better and better."

In the evening, Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu talked about their future plans in the yard. "Zhou Dong, with a good partner like you, I am full of confidence in the future. We will definitely be able to take the factory's performance to a higher level." Dongxu, I feel the same way. As long as we work together, we will definitely achieve greater results. The factory received a particularly important order, requiring a batch of high-precision parts to be produced in a short period of time. Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu were once again assigned as the leaders of this task. They led the team, worked overtime, day and night, and finally completed the task within the specified time.

The leaders were very satisfied with their performance and held a celebration banquet for them. Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu felt everyone's enthusiasm and support at the banquet. They sat on a stone bench in the yard and talked about their work during this period. "Zhou Dong, it has been really hard during this period, but seeing everyone's support and recognition, I feel that everything is worth it. Dongxu, I feel that I have more motivation.

Jia Dongxu raised his glass, "Zhou Dong, cheers to our cooperation and friendship!"

"Cheers!" Zhou Dong also raised his glass, and the two drank it all. Zhou Dong and Jia Dongxu's cooperation became more and more tacit, and the performance of the factory was getting better and better. They were not only good partners at work,

One day, Zhou Dong received a notice from the factory saying that there was an important training opportunity and hoped that he could participate. He didn't know whether he should go.

After Jia Dongxu knew about it, he encouraged him and said, "Zhou Dong, this is a good opportunity, you must go. Our factory needs technical backbones like you." "Okay, I will go to attend the training."

After the training, Zhou Dong brought back a lot of new technologies and concepts. He and Jia Dongxu promoted these new technologies in the factory, greatly improving the factory's production efficiency.

"Zhou Dong, Dong Xu, you two are really the treasures of our factory.

Jia Dongxu also smiled and said: "Yes, Zhou Dong is our technical core. Without him, we can't do this."

In the evening, Zhou Dong sighed: "Dongxu," Zhou Dong,

Bang Geng often steals Zhou Dong's food.

Zhou Dong's life in the courtyard is always full of warmth and trivial busyness. He likes to cook some small dishes in the yard after get off work, and cook delicious meals with simple ingredients. On this day, Zhou Dong had just finished a plate of braised pork and was about to take it to the yard for some fresh air, when he suddenly found that Banggeng was staring at him furtively not far away.

Zhou Dong's heart moved, pretending he didn't see it, he put the plate on the table, turned around and went back to the house to get chopsticks. When he came out again, he found that a large piece of braised pork was missing, and Banggeng was standing by with a guilty look on his face, with sauce on the corner of his mouth. He asked gently: "Banggeng, are you hungry?" He didn't dare to look at Zhou Dong, and hesitantly said: "Uncle Zhou Dong, I'm sorry, I... I just smelled the fragrance and couldn't help it... He squatted down and patted Banggeng's shoulder, "It's okay, tell me if you're hungry, uncle has more, you sit down,"

Bang Geng raised his head, with some gratitude and guilt in his eyes, "Uncle Zhou Dong, I didn't mean it." "I know, you are still young, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly, don't do it secretly. So, are you free tomorrow? You can do it yourself in the future."

Banggeng's eyes lit up, "Really, Uncle Zhou Dong? Can I learn to cook? Tomorrow morning, come to my house and we'll cook together." Zhou Dong said gently. Banggeng couldn't wait to come to Zhou Dong's house. Zhou Dong had already prepared some simple ingredients. When he saw Banggeng coming, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's start with the simplest today and learn how to make scrambled eggs first."

"Uncle Zhou Dong, I'm afraid I can't do it well." Bang Geng said nervously.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhou Dong comforted.

Zhou Dong patiently taught Banggeng step by step how to beat eggs, stir them and put them into the wok. Although Banggeng was a little clumsy, he successfully fried a dish of delicious eggs under Zhou Dong's guidance.

"Uncle Zhou Dong, it turns out cooking is so interesting!" Bang Geng said happily.

"Yes, as long as you put your heart into it, every dish can be cooked well. Zhou Dong would take time out every day to teach Banggeng how to cook, from the simplest stir-fry to the slightly more complicated stew. Banggeng learned very seriously and gradually fell in love with cooking.

One day, Zhou Dong was busy repairing an old chair in the yard, and said excitedly: "Uncle Zhou Dong, I made a dish myself today, would you like to try it?"

Zhou Dong looked up at Bang Geng and said with a smile, "Okay, I'm just hungry."

Banggeng brought Zhou Dong to his home. There was a plate of brightly colored braised eggplant on the table. Zhou Dong took a bite and found it tasted very good.

“Bang Geng, you cooked this dish very well, better than the first time I made it.” Zhou Dong praised.

Bang Geng smiled proudly, "Uncle Zhou Dong, this is all thanks to you."

Zhou Dong patted his shoulder and said, "You are also very talented. Keep working hard and cook more delicious food." Banggeng no longer steals Zhou Dong's food, but often makes some simple dishes by himself. He feels very relieved. Zhou Dong was chatting with his neighbors in the yard. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhou Dong, Banggeng now cooks a dish for me every day, and he is getting better and better."

"This is as it should be, Sister Huairu. Banggeng is very talented, and you will be blessed in the future.

Liu Guangtian also chimed in: "Zhou Dong, not only does he cook delicious dishes, he also taught Bang Geng. He is really a good neighbor in our yard."

Zhou Dong waved his hands, "Don't say that, I'm glad to help Bang Geng." The factory held a family gathering for employees, and Zhou Dong brought Bang Geng to attend. Everyone showed off their specialties at the gathering, and Bang Geng also made a braised eggplant dish, which received unanimous praise from everyone.

“Zhou Dong, if you hadn’t taught me, I wouldn’t know I could cook such delicious dishes.” Bang Geng said gratefully.

“Bang Geng, you are very talented, keep working hard and make more delicious dishes.

After the party, Zhou Dong and Bang Geng returned to the courtyard together. The lights in the courtyard were warm and soft, and Zhou Dong felt that although such a life was simple, it was full of warmth and satisfaction.

A few days later, it was said that Banggeng encountered some trouble at school, so Zhou Dong put down his work and hurried to school.

When he arrived at school, Zhou Dong found Bang Geng sitting in the classroom, looking a little uneasy. Zhou Dong walked over and asked gently, "Bang Geng, what happened?" Hesitantly, he said, "Uncle Zhou Dong, I had a quarrel with my classmates at school. They said that the food I cooked was not delicious, and that I..." "Don't worry, Uncle Zhou Dong believes that your cooking is delicious. If you have anything to say, tell me, don't be afraid." His eyes were full of grievances, "They always laugh at me, and I'm really sad."

Zhou Dong felt a pain in his heart. He knew that Banggeng was young and would inevitably feel frustrated when encountering such things. "Banggeng, don't doubt yourself because of what others say. The dishes you cook are delicious, this is a fact. Everyone has their own specialties. Don't give up your interests just because others don't understand. "Uncle Zhou Dong, I understand. I won't give up cooking."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, “Yes, you have to stick to your hobbies, make more delicious dishes, and prove yourself.
