Chapter 133: Eating Meat

Sihe Academy

Qin Qin Huairu couldn't do anything about Jia Jia Zhangshi, so she had to leave the room and head to the back courtyard.

She found Cao Cao Weiguo pitifully to borrow jujube cake.

Cao Cao Weiguo said straightforwardly: "It’s all eaten."

This sentence blocked Qin Qin Huairu, making her chest tight: "Then can you lend me two eggs."

She had already come!

How could she return empty-handed!

Since she had already thickened her skin to open her mouth, she had to bring something back.

Cao Cao Weiguo blocked the door and shook his head: "Sister Qin, the eggs in my house are also eaten."

Lying with his eyes open.

Who doesn't know that your house’s eggs are almost filling the rice jar.

You carry eggs home from time to time.

The hens at home also lay eggs every day.

You two are almost able to use eggs as a meal!

Qin Qin Huairu said with a resentful expression: "Cao Weiguo, can’t you help your sister? Sister is really too bitter."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Sister Qin, didn't the courtyard help you yesterday? Is fifty-some Brother Yuan not enough?"

You know, fifty-some Brother Yuan is enough for an ordinary family’s living expenses for half a year.

Qin Qin Huairu was slightly stunned by these words, but then she wiped her tears.

"The money is for Bang Geng’s medical treatment."

"Bang Geng’s illness hasn't fully recovered, how dare I take the medical money to buy grain."

"Since yesterday, our family has run out of grain; there isn't even a spoonful of mixed flour to scrape out."

Qin Qin Huairu’s tears come whenever she wants; it’s a pity she isn't an actress.

But no matter how Qin Qin Huairu performed, Cao Cao Weiguo’s heart was as clear as a mirror.

He just stood there motionless, watching the performance quietly.

This made Qin Qin Huairu feel annoyed; Cao Cao Weiguo’s heart was too hard.

Qin Qin Huairu: "I’m not asking for it for free; I’m borrowing it. I’ll pay you back when I get my salary."

Cao Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Borrowing is fine, but you have to write an IOU."

This made Qin Qin Huairu a bit embarrassed; if she wrote an IOU, it wouldn't be easy to default on the debt.

She said she was borrowing, but she didn't intend to pay it back.

But since things had already reached this point, she couldn't bear to give up.

If she has to write an IOU, she’ll write an IOU!

Get the things back first and talk later.

Qin Qin Huairu said: "I’ll write an IOU."

He went back to the room and asked Song Song Yulan to take out the cornmeal.

Then he went to the study and took out an old steelyard, weighing it in front of Qin Qin Huairu.

"Fifteen pounds and three ounces, let’s count it as fifteen pounds; those three ounces are my kindness."

This made Qin Qin Huairu feel a sense of disgust in her heart.

Three ounces of cornmeal as kindness, you have the nerve to say it.

"This is the IOU, sign it."

Cao Cao Weiguo wrote an IOU skillfully and handed it to Qin Qin Huairu with a smile.

"Thank you, Cao Weiguo."

Qin Qin Huairu signed her name and took the cornmeal away, full of unhappiness.

Steel Rolling Mill.

Workers walked into the factory like a tide, and the loudspeakers played impassioned broadcasts.

Cao Cao Weiguo arrived at the entrance on his bicycle.

He casually handed out cigarettes to the two security officers on duty.

"Thank you, Section Chief Cao!"

"Thank you, Section Chief Cao!"

The officers holding the cigarettes beamed: "Section Chief Cao, what are we eating today?"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled: "Going early today, lunch will have a basin of fish with pickled vegetables."

"Fish with pickled vegetables!"

"Great!"

Remembering the taste of fish with pickled vegetables, the two swallowed their saliva.

"Morning, Section Chief Cao!"

"Hello, Section Chief Cao!"

"Master, have some tea!"

When he arrived at the cafeteria, the kitchen was already busy.

Some were kneading dough, some were moving vegetables, some were washing vegetables, some were cutting vegetables...

Cao Cao Weiguo took the thermos cup and looked at the radish slices on the cutting board: "How many radishes are left in the warehouse?"

Li Dong, who had returned to work in the kitchen, answered immediately: "There are over one hundred and thirty pounds left."

Cao Cao Weiguo said: "Use forty pounds today, and pickle the rest."

Li Dong: "Understood."

Cao Cao Weiguo walked to Chu Jinshui’s side: "Senior Brother, make more vegetable buns today; the workers like to eat them."

Chu Jinshui smiled: "Okay!"

Since Chu Jinshui replaced Seeing Shazhu’s job, Cao Cao Weiguo’s work in the kitchen had become much easier.

For the daily work meals, Chu Jinshui could already be independently responsible.

When Cao Cao Weiguo was away, Chu Jinshui would be in charge of the big pot of food.

After 10 AM, Section Chief Director Jiang called and asked Cao Cao Weiguo to come over to cook.

Ten-some minutes later, Wu Wu Chunshan drove over to pick up Cao Cao Weiguo.

Seeing Cao Cao Weiguo being picked up by a car again, the workers were envious.

This Cao Cao Weiguo not only mixed well in the factory but was also doing well outside.

Can a person with a car be an ordinary person?

Workers in the workshop surrounded Shen Gong: "Shen Gong, Section Chief Cao went out in a car again."

Shen Gong smiled: "It’s ten-to-one that he went to cook for a leader."

An old machinist said enviously: "Old Shen, your eye for people is still good; you found a good son-in-law for your niece."

Shen Gong smiled and said: "What eye for people? It’s just that fate arrived."

Not far away, Yi Yi Zhonghai was processing parts with an unhappy mood.

This Cao Cao Weiguo has ability, but his character is not good!

Disrespectful to elders!

Selfish!

Such a person is only glorious for a while; if his character is not good, he will suffer sooner or later.

Arriving at Section Chief Director Jiang’s house, Cao Cao Weiguo cooked six dishes and one soup with flowing movements.

First dish: Vinegar-braised potato shreds.

Second dish: Tomato tea eggs.

Third dish: Minced meat braised tofu.

Fourth dish: Sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

Fifth dish: Dongpo pork.

Sixth dish: Braised grass carp.

Seventh dish: Dough drop soup.

This table of dishes made the guests praise it endlessly, earning enough face for Section Chief Director Jiang.

After finishing the dishes, Cao Cao Weiguo said goodbye and left.

Madam Chen personally sent him out of the family building and also gave Cao Cao Weiguo a genuine leather belt.

Sitting in the car and leaving the family courtyard, Cao Cao Weiguo didn't plan to return to the factory.

He got off the car at Beixinqiao and strolled leisurely through the streets.

The first stop was naturally the trust store.

After browsing for over half an hour, he bought a bamboo-carved pen holder and a sandalwood box.

The bamboo-carved pen holder was a work of the Jiading school from the Ming Dynasty, with superb carving skills, simple and elegant.

The sandalwood box was 27.5 cm long and 22 cm wide, rectangular with rounded corners, made entirely of gold-star sandalwood, with a picture of "Year after Year with Fish" carved on the lid; the specific era is unknown.

Coming out of the trust store, Cao Cao Weiguo went to the Xinhua Bookstore again.

He flipped through books in the bookstore for twenty-some minutes.

Finally, he bought five books: "Red Crag," "Railway Guerrillas," "Pu Cao Ji"...
