Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Chen Xueru didn't think much about it. Her husband had relatively positive values ​​and had never made any mistakes in principle since they got married. She also believed in her abilities and squeezed sugarcane every now and then. Even if there was excess water, her husband would not have any thoughts in that regard.

He stood up, took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to Zhao Shanhe and said.

"Let's have dinner. I have to go to the store early today. Uncle Niu said he has some antiques at home that he wants to sell, so he asked Huizhen and I to go take a look. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Uncle Niu selling things from his home since liberation.

How come the food shortage has become so severe now?"

Zhao Shanhe recalled in his mind and remembered who the Niu Ye the other party was talking about. That person was a very extraordinary person, a genuine bannerman. If it were a few decades ago, he might have had to bow to him when they met him.

"Xue Ru, the Mr. Niu you are talking about is the only one in the tavern who can buy on credit, right?

He is not an ordinary person, he is very wealthy. If he wants to sell something good, just buy it if you like it. I guarantee you won’t lose money.”

"Really? I didn't expect that Master Niu is so famous that even you have heard of him. It seems that I really need to go take a good look today. If there is anything good, I will definitely buy it.

Keep it for Hou Kui as a betrothal gift."

"You're thinking too early. Hou Kui is only a little old."

The two of them chatted while eating, leaving Hou Kui, who was eating with them, completely confused.

"Mom, what is a betrothal gift?"

Chen Xueru laughed a few times and replied.

"You are young now, you don't need to know yet. Mom will tell you when you are ready to know."

After Zhao Shanhe finished his meal, he went to work. He went to the security department and asked for some bullets from the armory. As for where the original bullets went, they were of course consumed in target practice. He would never say what he did in the middle of the night.

The collection of bullets during that period was not as strict as it is now, and the various departments of the Security Department took turns to conduct target practice every week, so Zhao Shanhe easily got 30 bullets.

Although there are still a lot of bullets in the static space, they were bought by myself. The work I did last night was for the government, so of course I have to ask the government for reimbursement, not to mention the cost of wear and tear on the gun.

I slept on the table in the Public Security Department until noon, and when the bell rang, I took my lunch box and went to the cafeteria to eat. This month's wild boar had just been brought back by the motorcade, and it was the time for stir-fried meat dishes once a month, so it would be a big loss if I didn't eat it.

When I arrived at the cafeteria, I heard many people talking about how delicious the dishes cooked by Sha Zhu were. When it was his turn, I saw that they were indeed delicious. It was stir-fried meat with three shreds. The kitchen staff was so busy just cutting this dish that they cursed their mothers.

Sha Zhu is in a very happy mood today. Li Huaide hosted a banquet for the leaders of the brother factories at noon for the first time and prepared a lot of good things during this difficult period.

Seeing that Sister Qin had been eating steamed bread and cornmeal every day, her face had become a little thinner. Sha Zhu looked at the chicken and meat specially prepared for the reception, and before they were even cooked, he had already started thinking about how to cut down on the food.

The chicken is stewed with mushrooms. You can put more mushrooms and leave one chicken leg. The meat is obviously wild boar meat, but it should be the best part of wild boar meat. We won’t be greedy and just cut one third of it.

If this had been last year or in 65, when the TV series began, it wouldn't have been a big deal. After all, the leaders back then didn't need this little bit of money. But what's the current situation? The meat processing plant can't even buy meat. Let alone a missing chicken leg, even if there's one chicken claw missing, people can tell by eating it.

The result is self-evident. When Li Huaide was having dinner with the leaders of two brother factories, one of the leaders became upset when he saw the chicken that was obviously lacking something.

"Hey, Huaide, this chicken is quite interesting. They say it's hard to find a two-legged frog, but your chicken has only one leg. This is the first time I've seen one in my life."

The other leader seemed to have taken the lead and continued without giving Li Huaide any face.

"Forget about your chicken. Look at this dish. It's really green. Huaide, you came to our factory to eat. We never treated you badly. Why are you letting us eat this?"

Li Huaide was also wondering, is there really something wrong with today's dish? However, as the deputy factory director, it is impossible for him to go to the canteen to deliver ingredients, and everything is handled by Li Lianjie.

After finally apologizing and sending the two leaders away, and promising to treat them to a drink later, I went to the Logistics Department to inquire about what went wrong.

"Lian Jie, when you delivered the ingredients to the kitchen today, how many legs did the chicken have?"

This question left Li Lianjie confused. Is it even necessary to ask?

"Director, chickens have always had two legs, right? If they had one or three legs, we probably wouldn't have gotten them, right?"

Li Huaide realized that he had asked a 2B question, but he could let the topic go for now and asked another question.

"How much meat did you deliver to the cafeteria this morning? Why is there obviously not enough meat in the stir-fried dishes?"

"No, Director, you told me that the two leaders who came today must not be offended. I went to the warehouse and took two kilograms of the best wild boar meat to the canteen director. Isn't two kilograms of pork enough for the three of you?"

Li Huaide understood as soon as he heard it. This matter had nothing to do with Li Lianjie. It must be a problem with the cafeteria. However, he did not want to ask the cafeteria director, but asked Li Lianjie to find Liu Lan.

Liu Lan is his young wife whom he had just hooked up with. As mentioned before, this girl originally wanted to find Sha Zhu as her backer, but unfortunately Sha Zhu didn't like her. The difficult life at home forced Liu Lan to bow to reality, and in the end she was taken away by Li Huaide.

However, with the support of the deputy factory director, the result is very obvious. At least now Liu Lan no longer has to do endless work in the cafeteria, nor does she have to endure the anger she suffered in the past. She has gradually developed into a figure who can compete with Sha Zhu in the cafeteria.

When Liu Lan arrived at Li Huaide's office, she thought that this lecherous factory manager would ask her to help him relieve his sexual desire again, but she didn't expect that he was looking for her today because of another matter.

"Go and help me keep an eye on Shazhu. It would be best if you could sneak a peek at what's in his lunch box. I was embarrassed when two friends came over for lunch at noon. I want to see who is stealing the ingredients from the factory."

In fact, Li Huaide had heard about Sha Zhu stealing and taking vegetables, but in the past, like Director Yang, he did not care about such trivial matters. Since Sha Zhu was the only chef in the factory, he deserved some reward.

However, this time, Sha Zhu's behavior disgusted Li Huaide. He thought, "Don't tell me it was you, Sha Zhu, who did it. If it was you, you will be in big trouble."

When Liu Lan returned to the cafeteria, it was already past lunch time and everyone in the cafeteria had gone to find a place to rest. She secretly found Sha Zhu's lunch box and opened it. She saw a whole chicken leg and more than half a pound of wild boar meat, both in two lunch boxes.

Liu Lan felt happy when she saw these things.

"Silly Zhu, you always show off your power, but this time I'll show you how you die."
