Chapter 236

You carry eggs home from time to time.

The hens at home also lay eggs every day.

You two can almost use eggs as meals!

Qin Huairu says with a resentful expression: "Weiguo, can't you help your sister, sister is really too bitter."

Cao Weiguo says: "Sister Qin, didn't the courtyard help you yesterday? Isn't fifty-some yuan enough?"

You know, fifty-some yuan is enough for an ordinary family's living expenses for half a year.

Qin Huairu is slightly stunned by this, but immediately wipes her tears.

"The money is for Bang Geng to see a doctor."

"Bang Geng isn't fully recovered, how dare I take the medical money to buy grain."

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

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

But no matter how Qin Huairu performs, Cao Weiguo's heart is as clear as a mirror.

He just stands there motionless, quietly watching the performance.

This makes Qin Huairu feel annoyed; this Cao Weiguo's heart is too hard.

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 Weiguo thinks for a moment and says: "Borrowing is fine, but you have to write an IOU."

This makes Qin Huairu a bit troubled; once an IOU is written, it won't be easy to default on the debt.

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

But since the words have already been said, she can't bear to give up.

Write an IOU then!

Take the things back first and talk about it later.

Qin Huairu says: "I'll write an IOU."

He goes back to the room and asks Song Yulan to take out the cornmeal.

Then he goes to the study to take out an old steelyard, weighing it in front of Qin Huairu.

"Fifteen jin and three liang, let's count it as fifteen jin, and that three liang is my kindness."

This makes Qin Huairu feel a sense of disgust.

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

"This is the IOU, sign it."

Skillfully writing an IOU, Cao Weiguo hands it to Qin Huairu with a smile.

"Thank you, Weiguo."

Qin Huairu signs her name and takes the cornmeal away, full of unhappiness.

Steel Rolling Mill

Workers walk into the factory like a tide, and the loudspeakers play impassioned broadcasts.

Cao Weiguo arrives at the entrance on his bicycle.

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

"Thank you, Director Cao!"

"Thank you, Director Cao!"

The officer holding the cigarette beams with joy: "Director Cao, what are we eating today."

Cao Weiguo smiles: "Go early today, lunch will have a basin of pickled vegetable fish."

"Pickled vegetable fish!"

"That's great!"

Thinking of the taste of pickled vegetable fish, the two swallow their saliva.

"Director Cao, good morning!"

"Director Cao, hello!"

"Master, have some tea!"

Arriving at the canteen, the kitchen is already busy.

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

Cao Weiguo takes the thermos cup, looking at the radish slices on the cutting board: "How many radishes are left in the warehouse?"

Li Dong, who has returned to work in the kitchen, answers immediately: "There are over one hundred and thirty jin left."

Cao Weiguo says: "Use forty jin today, and pickle the rest."

Li Dong: "Understood."

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

Chu Jinshui smiles: "Alright!"

Ever since Chu Jinshui replaced Shazhu's job, Cao Weiguo's work in the kitchen has become much easier.

Chu Jinshui can already independently handle the daily work meals.

When Cao Weiguo is out, Chu Jinshui takes charge of the big pot of food.

Around 10 AM, Director Jiang calls and asks Cao Weiguo to come over to cook.

Ten minutes later, Wu Chunshan drives over to pick up Cao Weiguo.

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

This Cao Weiguo is not only doing well in the factory, but he is also doing well outside.

Can someone with a small car be an ordinary person?

Workers in the workshop surround Shen Gong: "Shen Gong, Director Cao is out in a small car again."

Shen Gong smiles: "Nine times out of ten, he's going to cook for the leaders."

An old fitter says enviously: "Old Shen, your eye for people is still good, finding a good son-in-law for your niece."

Shen Gong smiles and says: "What eye for people, it's just that fate has arrived."

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

This 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 morality is not good, he will suffer sooner or later.

Arriving at Director Jiang's house, Cao Weiguo makes 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 makes the guests praise them endlessly, earning enough face for Director Jiang.

After finishing the dishes, Cao Weiguo says goodbye and leaves.

Mrs. Chen personally sends him out of the family building and also gives Cao Weiguo a genuine leather belt.

Sitting in the car leaving the family courtyard, Cao Weiguo doesn't intend to return to the factory.

He gets off the car at Beixinqiao and strolls leisurely through the streets.

The first stop is naturally the trust store.

After strolling for over half an hour, he buys a bamboo-carved brush pot and a rosewood box.

The bamboo-carved brush pot is a work of the Jiading school from the Ming Dynasty, with superb carving skills, ancient and elegant.

The rosewood box has a caliber of 27.5 cm in length and 22 cm in width, rectangular with rounded corners, made entirely of gold-star rosewood, with a "Year After Year Fish" picture carved on the box surface, the specific era is unknown.

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

He flips through books in the bookstore for over twenty minutes.

Finally, he buys five books: "Red Crag", "Railway Guerrillas", "Pucao Collection"... ===== CHAPTER 238 =====
