Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

Soon it was time for Lin Xiangdong to collect his salary.

Although he had not officially changed his job as a projectionist for a full month, Lin Xiangdong still received 20 yuan this time.

In addition to receiving two large-denomination RMB notes, there were also some coupons.

After he made sure there were no problems, he signed the list to confirm receipt.

When Lin Xiangdong walked out of the Finance Department, Yi Zhonghai and Yu Zhizhu also came to collect their wages.

As an 8th-level technical fitter, Yi Zhonghai enjoys a salary of 99 yuan.

俞智柱是一名资深的厨房人员月薪35元5角，但是他还有一些额外福利可以多获得2元，总共为37元5角。

However, the redemption coupons obtained by Yi Zhonghai and Yu Zhizhu were not as rich in variety as those obtained by Lin Xiangdong, and there was not much difference.

As Xu Damao's salary was deducted, he could only watch others receive their salary with envy.

After receiving his salary, Lin Xiangdong took out 10 yuan to exchange for some necessary material tickets.

There are private transactions every month within the factory: buying exchange coupons with cash or buying cash with tickets, or exchanging tickets with each other.

However, the number of tickets purchased for only 10 yuan was not high. Ticket prices were getting higher and higher, especially meat tickets were in short supply.

In that era, people could only afford to buy meat during festivals.

Even though this steel plant was a very important unit, their monthly meat supply tickets were very limited.

Even if Lin Xiangdong spent all his salary, he could only buy about 15 kilograms of meat with food coupons.

......

After receiving the money, Yu Zhizhu came to Xu Damao to show off.

In this factory with more than 10,000 employees, there are only a handful of people who have been humiliated because of wage deductions, and Xu Damao is one of them.

When Yu Zhizhu came to show him his pay slip, he became furious.

If he couldn't beat the other party, he would really like to teach Yu Zhizhu a lesson.

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Xu Damao's face, Yu Zhizhu achieved his goal, but was stopped by Lin Xiangdong on the way back to the restaurant.

Riding the slightly mottled bicycle, Lin Xiangdong headed towards Lou's house.

Not only did he receive his salary today, he also exchanged some tickets. Together with the dining voucher for Lao Mo Restaurant given to him by the section chief a few days ago, he planned to invite Lou Xiao'e to share the wonderful time at Lao Mo.

As one of the most famous western restaurants in Beijing, Lao Mo not only symbolizes a certain social status, but also provides an untouchable luxury experience; even if you are rich, you cannot enter without a meal ticket or a meat ticket. There are even guards standing guard outside the door to protect this elegance and tranquility.

After arriving at the villa area where the Lou family lived, he saw not only the quaint little building, but also the kind old servant, Aunt Wu. These made Lin Xiangdong sigh inwardly - such a luxurious life is indeed easy to arouse the envy of many people.

When Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile where they were going to go for fun today, he answered: "Let's take a bike ride first, and then go to Lao Mo's for a good meal."

Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised to hear this. This was certainly not her first time visiting a famous store like Lao Mo, and she had visited it often in the past, but Lin Xiangdong's suggestion to go together still made her feel quite new.

However, if you think carefully about the other party's identity, after all, he is a person who often screens films for the leaders in the unit. It must not be a fantasy for him to get a precious meal ticket for Lao Mo.

However, considering that the cost of a meal is almost as much as his monthly income, even if he makes such a decision, Lin Xiangdong seems to need to make some mental preparation and financial considerations.

The dining ticket of Lao Mo's Restaurant represents the admission ticket to this high-end place, but even if you enter the inner world, in addition to money, certain specific materials such as meat tickets are also an indispensable part.

As the sun set, after wandering the streets with Lou Xiao'e, the two arrived outside the historic Lao Mo Restaurant.

After parking his bicycle and looking at this building with a strong Soviet atmosphere, Lin Xiangdong couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.

This majestic and elegant old Mo has a spacious, bright and airy lobby, and its decoration reflects a strong exotic style everywhere; its huge windows, velvet curtains and exquisite sofas will make you deeply attracted by the charming atmosphere as soon as you step into it.

There is a podium-like place on the second floor for guests to watch various performances, while the VIP room on one side is not open to the public on weekdays.

The Soviet-Russian decorative patterns on the walls and the human sculptures on the windowsills add a lot of mystery to the scene; in the ears, the melodious and pleasant song "Katyusha" echoed.

According to tradition, whenever you visit here, "Katyusha", "An Evening Outside Moscow" and "Red Berries" or Tchaikovsky's "June Barcarolle" and "Pathetique" always appear.

Being able to enjoy a sumptuous dinner at Lao Mo is often considered to represent a certain status.

Although Lin Xiangdong was a little nervous and excited when he stepped into Lao Mo for the first time, he remained calm on the surface. This attitude surprised Lou Xiaoe, because even she herself could not guarantee that she would remain as calm when she first visited.

At this moment, Lao Mo still had many seats to choose from, and Lin Xiangdong chose a seat by the window and sat down.

The metal utensils on the table look particularly elegant and noble.

The menu mainly offers traditional **-style court cuisine, but also includes international dishes such as Australian steak and Spanish air-dried ham for guests to try.

"Most of the dishes here are heavy in flavor and rich in protein, which is undoubtedly very suitable for meat eaters." Lin Xiangdong thought to himself.

So, he and Lou Xiao'e each chose a salad as an appetizer. This salad is one of the signature dishes here, mainly made with chicken breast and potatoes.

Put them both in your mouth, the soft potatoes and tender grilled chicken complement each other, and combined with the special salad dressing, the taste is surprisingly pleasant.

After browsing the menu, Lin Xiangdong ordered two Russian chicken and mushroom rolls with beetroot soup and braised beef, and two bowls of white rice as the main course.

The beef is carefully stewed for hours until it is extremely tender. The combination of the beef and the fresh and rich broth cooked slowly in a single pot and a bowl of rice is simply a blissful meal.

In addition, there are also pan-fried cod fillet, cream-baked sea bass and authentic Iberian ham...

"You ordered so much, it seems too much... We may not be able to finish it." Seeing that he ordered such a rich variety of dishes in one go, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but worry.

After all, the cost of dining here is even higher than that of Quanjude, a famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing.

The table of dishes ordered by Lin Xiangdong would cost at least 20 yuan, which was a considerable amount for Lou Xiaoe, who came from an ordinary family. And usually, it was not polite for a woman to pay the bill.

"It's okay. It's not easy to come here, so why bother about those small details." Lin Xiangdong responded with a smile.

Being in such a luxurious and comfortable environment, tasting a variety of delicious food, accompanied by beautiful music floating in your ears, can truly be called an incomparable experience.

Even though it is a little expensive, it is definitely worth it for Lin Xiangdong.

After all, he is about to be promoted to a stable position, and his salary is expected to reach more than 30 yuan after becoming a regular employee; what's more, there is the help of the creditor's rights system, so it is completely feasible to take time out every month to enjoy it;

While frequent visits may not be practical, it is fine to try it once a month.

As Lao Mo's dishes are quite generous in portion and varied in number, many of the dishes were not fully enjoyed during the tasting process by Lin Xiangdong and Lou Xiao'e.

Pack up leftover food to take away to avoid waste.

An hour passed before the meal was finished.

Before leaving, of course, you can’t miss the large and generous piece of bread. You can smell the full aroma of wheat as soon as you take a bite.

After sending Lou Xiao'e home safely, Lin Xiangdong also returned home.

On the way home, Lin Xiangdong stored the leftover food in his personal space.

If we bring the leftover food from Mr. Mo's place directly back to the courtyard, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.

When he arrived at the courtyard, he found that a meeting was taking place in the yard in front.

Recently, Mrs. Jia's savings have decreased, and Mr. Xu has also had some money stolen.

Whatever happened in Daizhu's house, Daizhu would definitely blame it on Bang Geng.

It is helpless. Although there is a mysterious system to assist, the system will take punitive measures whenever the loan cannot be recovered successfully.

Whether it was Mrs. Jia’s savings or Mr. Xu’s lost money, it was all because the borrowers failed to repay the loan on time.

In short, this is how the system is designed, and Lin Xiangdong himself is not involved in any part of it.

Even with the help of the system, Lin Xiangdong still lives an ordinary life.

He had some complaints about the system.

If the system could be more helpful, like providing tens of thousands of dollars in financial aid one day, delivering hundreds of kilograms of meat the next day, and supplying hundreds of eggs the day after that... wouldn't that be much better?

Unfortunately, that old, shabby system only knows how to collect payments.

It is tied to this courtyard house, so eventually all the residents will owe Lin Xiangdong money.

This is evident from the fact that even the deceased Jia Dongxi was able to incur debts for Lin Xiangdong.

It is indeed quite frustrating that we are only limited to signing in at the Siheyuan; if it were not limited to this place, everything would be more perfect.

Security personnel visited the courtyard twice this month but found no problems.

For example, an incident like the reduction of wealth in Xu Damao's home had to end without any result.

"Xiaodong, why are you coming home at this time?" Yan Bugui couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Xiangdong.

"I went out to play for a while." Lin Xiangdong replied.

Among the crowd, Xu Damao had a serious expression on his face, secretly guessing that Lin Xiangdong must have made an appointment with Lou Xiaoe to go out on a date.

You have to know that the two have known each other for some time and may be about to register their marriage.
