Chapter 5: Xu Damao's overtures
The rest of the fish was sent to the factory's canteen, exchanged for a dozen yuan in cash, and only the silver carp was brought home.
"Xiao Wang, is this going fishing?"
"Follow the three masters of our hospital to try it!"
The silver carp was placed in a bucket with a ball of hay tucked into it, tied to the back seat, but it was not very eye-catching.
The original body has lived in the courtyard for half a year, and most of the neighbors live in the rolling mill workers, and the original body is also a celebrity in the factory, especially in the first two staff meetings, and has been commended twice in public, Wang Chong may not recognize the surrounding neighbors, but most of the neighbors know this new college student.
Along the way, many people took the initiative to greet Wang Chong.
I got out of the car at the gate of No. 95 courtyard, pushed the car and just entered the door, just saw the three mothers washing clothes in the courtyard, and saw Wang Zhong come in, the three mothers hurriedly asked: "Xiao Wang, why did you come back?" Where's my old Yan? β
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "I'll go back first, the three masters haven't finished their fun!" β
Park the car under the eaves, untie the bucket tied to the back table, and listen to the three mothers: "Come back so early, how much fish?" β
"Luckily, I got a silver carp!" While speaking, Wang Zhong took out the hay, walked to the edge of the faucet and changed the water, and the three mothers came over curiously, and saw the seven or eight pounds of silver carp in the bucket, and suddenly showed surprise on their faces.
"Xiao Wang is so capable, this fish has to be seven or eight catties!" There was still a bit of disbelief in the tone of the three mothers, Yan Fugui would go fishing outside the city every Monday when he was free, although he often had a harvest, but such a big fish had never been caught.
The envy in the eyes of the three mothers was about to overflow, and those eyes were the same as those that grew on the silver carp.
"I was just lucky, just in time!"
But after a while, the news that Wang Chong had caught a big fish spread throughout the courtyard, and the women and children came over curiously, just to get a glimpse of the big fish.
Wang Zhong had already brought the fish into the house and was ready to clean up.
The head of the fish was cut off with the small half of the fish's body, and the internal organs were cleaned out, and Wang Zhong went out with the cut fish to the edge of the pool to clean, and a few half-grown children came over.
"Uncle Wang, your fish is so big!"
It was none other than the only boy in the Jia family in the middle courtyard, next to her sister Xiaodang, wearing an old gray cotton jacket, with patches and two braids, as for the youngest Huaihua, she is only two years old this year, and it is not yet time to go out and play crazy.
"It's okay, it's small in silver carp!" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Such a big fish must be delicious!" The eyes of the brother and sister were almost on the silver carp in Wang Chong's hand.
"This fish is not easy to make!" Wang Chong said: "The silver carp smells heavy, there are many seasonings, and it costs oil, and there are many small thorns, if you are not careful, it is easy to get stuck in your throat!" Do you know what it's like to be stuck in your throat when you're assassinated? β
Both siblings shook their heads.
Wang Chongdao: "It's like a needle prick, and the throat is fragile, but it hurts a lot more than pricking other places on the body, if you are not careful, you will die!" β
"Huh?"
The stick terrier was okay, but Xiaodang was frightened, and subconsciously took a few steps back, showing a little fear in her eyes.
"You don't deceive people, it's not like my family hasn't eaten fish!" Stick terriers are not so easy to fool.
Wang Zhong laughed, ignored the stick terrier, and went back to the house with the basin, but the internal organs of those fish were 'accidentally' left by him on the edge of the pool.
The fish head is marinated with salt and ginger cooking wine, and the rest of the fish body is smeared with salt, rolled into hemp rope with hay, and hung under the eaves to wait for air drying.
When Wang Zhong returned to the edge of the pool, the bowl of entrails was still in place.
Thinking of the many jokes about stick terriers on the Internet, Wang Chong couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know if the 'thief saint' looked down on this little viscera or what.
The offal is simply processed to remove the smelly parts, and the rest is marinated with salt and green onion and ginger.
Taking advantage of the pickling of the fish head, Wang Chong began to clean up the house, and I don't know if he stayed in the copy of "Know" for too long, even though the memory ball has been generated by the system, he still misses the comfortable days when the clothes came to reach out and the food came to open his mouth.
But now I can only think about it, unless I find a particularly virtuous daughter-in-law.
Looking at the simple furniture in the house, Wang Chong began to think about how to put it in the house, when a person is used to being clean, he suddenly comes to a dirty environment, and he may not be able to adapt to it.
Although Wang Chong's adaptability is very strong, he can live cleanly, who wants to live in those dirty and messy places.
Fortunately, the house is not big, just a three-bay wing, and the total is only sixty or seventy square meters, and it is almost cleaned up after more than ten minutes of busy work.
After crossing over, Wang Chong didn't clean up the house, but he didn't have much time and didn't clean up thoroughly.
It is worth mentioning that although Wang Chong lived in the east wing of the front yard, he had lived in the princes and nobles, the quality and layout of the house was still good, the ground was paved with green bricks, and Wang Chong did not mean to change it, but the toilet and bathroom still had to be cleaned up.
It's not that Wang Chong is hypocritical, just the conditions of the public toilet, it's really not good, and if you catch up with the crowds, you have to queue up.
However, every household has a night pot, and it is not impossible to solve it in the night pot.
Although Wang Chong did not use the night pot in the copy of "Know", but now that he has reached the modern society, there is naturally no need to wronged himself.
and the wood that I got back from the suspected old and young man last time, which is now piled up under the bed, this time I took advantage of cleaning up the house, and I just used it together.
Wang Chong has always been a vigorous and resolute character, just do what he says, and when he cleaned up the house, the layout of the whole house was already presented in his mind, and he had made a decision, and he began to conceive in his mind.
Half of the south side is separated, and the toilet and bathroom are used inside, and the kitchen is still outside.
In an instant, Wang Chong's mind had already appeared after the renovation of the house.
After tidying up the house, Wang Chong began to prepare dinner, and the white noodles were distributed before going out in the morning, kneaded into steamed buns, and put them on the stove to steam.
The kind of cast iron stove that is very popular in the north used by Wang Chong's family burns honeycomb coal, and a white iron pipe extends out of the house to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
I didn't see anyone burning the kang, maybe it was because he was in the city.
After the white flour steamed buns on the pot are steamed, Wang Chong began to make chopped pepper fish head, silver carp is commonly known as fat head fish, although there is more meat, but there are many fine thorns, the smell is quite heavy, but the taste of the fish head is good.
Take out a few jars of chopped peppers that have been prepared long ago from the space, put them in the corner of the wall, scoop out a bowl, spread them evenly on the fish head after frying, garnish with green onions and ginger, and then steam them in the pot.
Taking advantage of the gap between the steamed fish, Wang Chong made about half a catty of hand-rolled noodles.
After steaming, boil a spoonful of hot oil and pour it on top, and the fragrance will come out immediately.
Putting the casserole with the fish head on the stove, Wang Zhong was about to start eating, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Brother Wang Chong, it's me!" Xu Damao's voice sounded outside.
Wang Zhong got up and opened the door, only to see Xu Damao carrying a two-tied oil-paper bag in one hand and two bottles of Erguotou in the other, with a smile on his face.
"Yo, my brother has eaten everything?" Now that the room is full of the smell of chopped pepper fish heads, Xu Damao was instantly hooked by his appetite.
"I just made it, and I was about to move the chopsticks, did Brother Da Mao eat it, didn't you eat a piece?"
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, and now that Xu Damao didn't mess with him, Wang Chong naturally wouldn't give him a good face.
"That's a good feeling!" Xu Damao entered the house with a smile on his face, carrying the things in his hand: "I have prepared all the food and drinks, and I am planning to find you to have a few drinks!" β
"It's better to meet by chance!" Wang Zhong smiled and said, "I caught this fish from the river outside the city today, Brother Da Mao, you are blessed!" β
"Brother, this is your craft!" Smelling the pungent fragrance, Xu Damao only felt his appetite move, and smiled and gave Wang Zhong a thumbs up.
Wang Chongdao: "My wife used to be a cook in a big family, and I don't have any other hobbies, I like to eat some good things, and I learned to cook with my mother when I was a child, and I have been working hard for more than ten years!" β
While speaking, Wang Chong had already helped Xu Damao get a pair of chopsticks.
"But this fish may be a little spicy today, but I don't know if Brother Da Mao is used to eating it."
Xu Damao, who had long had a great appetite, looked at the layer of red and bright chili peppers on the fish head in the casserole, and couldn't help but feel a little difficult.
Fortunately, he himself has made sufficient preparations, a package of marinated pork head meat and a package of fried peanuts are not bargains.
"Brother Da Mao try this fish head first?" Wang Zhong said as he poured his wine.
Xu Damao hesitated, picked up the chopsticks and opened the red and bright chopped pepper, picked up a piece of fish, and glanced at Wang Zhong again before putting it in his mouth.
As soon as the fish meat was eaten, Xu Damao's expression immediately changed, his eyes were round, revealing a look of consternation.
"How?" Wang Zhong asked with a smile.
Xu Damao immediately gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely!" β
"Come!" Wang Zhong picked up his wine glass: "Let's have a drink first!" β
Xu Damao also hurriedly picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with Wang.
"Brother, try this, it's a good thing to drink!" Xu Damao opened the two oiled paper packets, revealing the red pig's head meat and peanuts wrapped in salt grains.
Three cups and two pots of head into the stomach, Xu Damao was eating white flour steamed buns, while eating chopped pepper fish head slowly, looking at Wang Zhong curiously: "Brother, you have a really moist life!" β
"Do you have to be happy in life?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Worthy of a reader!" Xu Damao gave a thumbs up again: "Brother, don't say it, with your skills, the stupid bastard can't catch up with you even if he pits a horse, because he brags about his cooking skills outside every day, or the heir of the Tan family's cuisine, and gives him to the Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·."
"Brother Da Mao has won the prize!"
Wang Chongdao: "By the way, why did Brother Da Mao suddenly want to ask me for a drink?" β
Seeing that Wang Chong finally asked about this topic, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped scolding He Yuzhu, and hurriedly got to the point: "Brother, my brother doesn't hide it from you, a while ago, Silly Zhu invited you to drink and was courteous, and sent you something, because of Yushui's work, right?" β
Wang nodded and said: "It's really because of the rain work, doesn't our section chief have a good relationship with the Qian section chief of the personnel administration department, Brother Zhu asked me to draw a line and build a bridge for him, and introduce our section chief to him, saying that he was looking for our section chief to help, and wanted to go through the door of the section chief and arrange a job for the rainwater."
Not to mention, Brother Zhu still has some ability, I don't know how to persuade Section Chief Qian, and I really arranged the work of rainwater. β
"I see!" Xu Damao suddenly realized, there is no doubt about Wang Chong's words, Wang Chong has only been in the factory for half a year, although he has made some contributions, but in the end he has not been here for a long time, and he should not have the ability to directly arrange work for the rainwater.
"Stupid pillar, this bastard still has this ability?" Xu Damao scolded and scolded.
"Brother Da Mao, what are you and Brother Zhu?" Wang Zhong asked curiously.
Hui Tai Mao Road; "Brother, don't be deceived by that stupid bastard, that guy is yin, and he likes to beat peopleΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Wang Chong, the nickname of He Yuzhu's "God of War in the Courtyard", naturally heard it, and Xu Damao almost confided in tears to Wang Chong about the tragic experience of being oppressed by He Yuzhu for so many years.
"I didn't expect He Yuzhu to be this kind of person, Brother Mao, don't be too sad!" Wang Chong comforted Xu Damao while pulling Xu Damao to continue drinking.
At first, Xu Damao was just pretending, but as he spoke, the indignation and unwillingness to be oppressed by He Yuzhu for so many years all poured out, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and the wine was also drunk cup by cup, and it didn't take long for the two bottles of Erguotou to be drunk by the two.
After drinking the two bottles of two pots, Xu Damao almost didn't lie under the stove.
Looking at Xu Damao, who had been broken, Wang Chong decisively carried it up, and walked out quickly to the backyard, otherwise if he vomited at home later, Wang Chong would not bother to clean it up.
"Yo! Xu Damao: What's wrong? When passing by the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was washing Huaihua's pants on the edge of the pool, looking like she had just been wet.
"It's broken!"
"Sister Qin, I won't tell you yet, I'll send Brother Da Mao back first!"
"Let's go!"
After saying hello, Wang Chong went straight to the backyard and knocked on Xu Damao's door.
"Who!" A crisp female voice came from inside the room.
"Sister-in-law, I'm Wang Chong, Brother Da Mao is drunk, I'll send him back!"
Footsteps were heard in the room, and a moment later, with a creak, the door was opened, and the curtain was lifted, revealing a young woman with good features, short hair, and a bit of bookish air.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Lou Xiao'e frowned, shrunk back, and stretched out her hand to fan her nose gently: "Why do you drink so much wine?" β
seemed to realize that she was rude, and before Wang Zhong could say anything, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly put down her hand and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Wang, come in!" β
Wang Chong was not polite, and walked inside with Xu Damao on his shoulder.
Lou Xiao'e led Wang Chong all the way to the back room and helped Wang Chong put Xu Damao on the bed, Lou Xiao'e said apologetically: "Trouble you, Xiao Wang!" β
"Sister-in-law, they are all neighbors, and if you say this, you will see the outside!" Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Besides, Brother Da Mao is drunk at my house, I have to send someone back to you with all the beards and tails!" β
Lou Xiao'e hurriedly went to the table and poured a glass of water, and brought it to Wang Chong: "Drink saliva!" β
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Wang Chong didn't refuse, he just drank a bottle of Erguotou, nearly a catty, this mouth was really dry, took the water handed over by Lou Xiao'e, raised his head and drank it clean after a few times.
"Sister-in-law, then I'll withdraw first, Brother Da Mao will work hard for you!"
After saying goodbye to Lou Xiao'e, Wang Chong left the Xu family.
As soon as he walked to the middle courtyard, Wang Chong was stopped by He Yuzhu.
"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?" Wang Zhong looked at He Yuzhu, who was standing against the door frame, and asked.
He Yuzhu came up and said, "Brother, why did you get together with that guy Xu Damao?" β
Wang Chongdao: "Brother Da Mao is looking for me to drink!" It's not that he's drunk, I'm going to send him back! β
"I mean, such a big smell of alcohol!"
"But brother, buddy will tell you the truth, buddy grew up with this Xu Damao when he was a child, he is not a good bird, you can be careful, don't be used by him!"
He Yuzhu reminded with a cautious face, and his dislike for Xu Damao was undisguised between his words.
Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, thank you for reminding me, but you don't have to worry, do you think I look like the kind of person who is fooled by someone in a few words?" β
When He Yuzhu heard this, he looked at the smile on Wang Chong's face, and a smile also appeared on his extremely old face: "Okay, you can do it if you have a few in your heart!" β
Wang looked around, leaned over to He Yuzhu and whispered, "Brother Zhu, you can help me keep this matter secret." β
"Don't worry, buddy, keep your mouth tight!" He Yuzhu almost patted his chest to give Wang Chong a guarantee.
"Brother Zhu, I'm relieved to have what you say, it's not too early, then I'll go back first!"
"Slow down! Don't stumble! He Yuzhu kindly reminded.
"Don't worry, you can't knock!"
In the following days, it was not alarming, Wang Chong slowly cleaned up the house by himself, and at the same time prepared to complete the tasks given by the system.
[Main Quest: Experience a Different Courtyard House]
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Wang Zhong checked the main quest, and the task was very general, but it also meant that there was no limit, and there was no need to be a nanny.
Wang Chong also formulated his general direction in this copy world, first of all, the major must be metallurgy, as for the extent to which it can be done, it depends on his own ability.
As for the courtyard, just let it be, anyway, I live in the courtyard, and it's not impossible to mix it properly, but the main energy must be on work.
As for women, it was also natural, Wang Chongke didn't have the idea of picking up widows, especially widows with several oil bottles.
As for the previous thing about helping He Yushui find a job, he was just pushing the boat down the river, and by the way, he got the first pot of gold from the stupid pillar, so that it became logical for him to improve his life.
