I messed up the Siheyuan

"Nothing evil, nothing crooked... Where did Wang Ping get so much meat?"

Yi Zhonghai pressed on, "Didn't you just say that?"

"Our deputy factory director Li went out to make connections and only managed to get a few pounds of meat."

"Ah, uncle!... It's hard to get meat through the formal channels... But this..." Sha Zhu smiled bitterly and explained: "Isn't there something else?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the east.

After Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, a look of realization appeared on his face.

"Zhu Zi, you mean... the black market in East City?"

"No doubt about it! If Wang Ping's meat wasn't bought through connections, then it must have been bought from the black market."

"Black market?..." Yi Zhonghai shook his head. "At this time, can there be meat for sale on the black market? If that's the case, Dongxu's matter will be easy to handle!"

"Tomorrow!... No!... Tonight... Dongxu and I will go buy two kilograms of it..."

"Hehe!" Sha Zhu interrupted Yi Zhonghai with a sly smile, "Uncle, let me tell you this, you and Brother Dongxu won't be able to buy meat tonight."

"I can't buy it... What do you mean?... There's no meat for sale in the black market today?"

"No!" Sha Zhu shook his head, "I don't know if there is any meat for sale in the black market today.

But even if there is meat for sale, you can’t buy it.”

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhu Zi, what do you mean? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hide it."

"Ah, uncle!... Don't you understand?" Sha Zhu explained: "In the current market, even if there is meat to sell, some people with connections will have divided it up. Why put it out for sale?"

"Uh!..." Yi Zhonghai nodded, and said a little dejectedly: "That's true! But..." As he said that, he looked at Sha Zhu with a puzzled look, "Zhu Zi, how do you know so much about these things in the black market?"

"Uncle!... What do I do?... A cook!" Sha Zhu said with a little pride: "What does a cook do? Dealing with food every day!

What’s more, we have so many masters, senior brothers and junior brothers!

In this city, I dare not say anything else, but as long as we talk about food... hehe... we should know something, right? "

"Yeah!..." Yi Zhonghai nodded, agreeing with Sha Zhu's words.

But then, he raised his eyebrows again and said in a slightly surprised tone: "Zhu Zi, what do you mean...?...Wang Ping knows someone in the black market?"

"As long as he bought the meat on the black market, it can't be wrong! And..." As he spoke, Sha Zhu looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "I suspect... the 15 kilograms of meat given to the factory was definitely not the first time Wang Ping bought meat on the black market."

"Wang Ping also bought meat on the black market before?" Yi Zhonghai asked in surprise.

"Not only meat, but also White Rabbit milk candy!" Sha Zhu replied with a smile.

"Uh!..." Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, and a trace of realization flashed across his face, "The candy that was given to the children in the alley some time ago was also bought by him from the black market. During that period, his family also ate meat several times..."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "After all, he is still a child! Once the adults in this family are gone, he starts to spend money recklessly."

"Hehe!" Sha Zhu laughed a few more times in a frivolous way, "Grandpa! Although Wang Ping is a little younger, don't underestimate him."

“Just this fifteen kilograms of meat! If he bought it on the black market, it would only cost a few dozen dollars at most!

But after spending these tens of dollars, I got myself a regular job ahead of schedule!

Once you become a regular employee, your benefits and salary will be raised immediately."

"Hmm!" Yi Zhonghai nodded, "It seems that although Wang Ping is a little young, he still has some serious business."

"It's more than just a matter of business!" Sha Zhu said, "Uncle, the few dozen dollars Wang Ping spent on buying meat flowers will be returned to him within half a year after he becomes a regular employee."

"Half a year? How is that possible?" Yi Zhonghai asked puzzledly.

"Uncle, do you know how much Wang Ping earns a month after he becomes a regular employee?"

"How much do you earn?" Yi Zhonghai curled his lips, "A first-class worker in our factory only makes twenty-two dollars a month, right?

Wang Ping has just been promoted to a regular employee, can he still be rated as a second-class worker?"

"He definitely can't be rated as a second-level worker, but the purchasing department has a lot of subsidies!" Sha Zhu said, "The purchasing staff in our factory get a five-yuan position allowance and a five-yuan meal allowance every month.

Oh! By the way... their meal allowance also includes five kilograms of food coupons..." At this point, he spit out a mouthful of "Pooh" fiercely, and said with a little jealousy: "Damn! Wang Ping's salary is almost catching up with mine as soon as he started working..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu next to them were stunned.

After a long time, Yi Zhonghai said sullenly: "The treatment in the purchasing department is so good!"

"Who says it isn't?"

At this time, Jia Dongxu, who had been silent, suddenly remembered something, his eyes suddenly brightened, and then he hesitantly interrupted: "Shazhu, after Wang Ping becomes a regular employee, does his food relationship have to leave our factory?"

"Of course!" Sha Zhu replied, "The food supply of our regular workers must be kept in the factory. Wang Ping can't break this rule, right?"

“That…that means…” Jia Dongxu said with a chuckle, “After Wang Ping becomes a regular employee, he will receive a salary of 32 yuan and a food quota of 50 kilograms per month.

this...

With so much money and food, can he spend and eat it all by himself?"

"Hehe!...Who knows?" Sha Zhu said perfunctorily and didn't say anything else.

However, his meaning was clear.

That is, as long as Wang Ping is willing to lend a hand, the Jia family’s problems can be at least half solved.

This also made Jia Dongxu's eyes brighter.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai expectantly, "Master, this..., Wang Ping's..."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and interrupted Jia Dongxu.

He frowned and pondered for a long time before he coughed and said, "Dongxu, let's talk about your family's affairs at the whole hospital meeting tonight."

"Hey! Hey!..." Jia Dongxu agreed again and again: "Master, I will listen to you."

.....

On the rest of the journey, the three people, each with their own thoughts, fell silent.

Even when they were entering Yard No. 95, when Yan Fugui was chattering about "Wang Ping being promoted ahead of schedule, and the steel mill gave him a bicycle," the three of them didn't pay much attention to it.

At most, the three of them glanced at the bicycle outside Wang Ping's window, and then walked inside silently.

This also made Yan Fugui behind him look confused.

However, having lived in the courtyard for more than ten or twenty years, he still has a very keen sense of smell.

The state of the three people immediately made him realize that something was going to happen in the courtyard again, and this matter was related to Wang Ping.
