Soon to the twenty-eighth of the lunar month, the New Year is about to come, this year because of the farm harvest, so the rolling mill of the New Year's goods are also relatively rich, there are pork white flour gabu and then come to a handful of watery vegetables, vegetables at this time can be rare, this is the farm itself

The enthusiasm of the workers in the rolling mill is a little higher than before, or the same as before, receiving wages in the afternoon, this year the finance office also deliberately set up a point on the farm, the farm is indeed far away from the finance department, and it takes more than half an hour to walk

Silly Zhu didn't receive wages with everyone this year, he was still busy cleaning up in the farm warehouse, distributing vegetables to various departments and making a mess in the warehouse, and everyone else went to collect wages, so Silly Zhu led Ma Feiyan and the people in the canteen to clean up

Ma Feiyan's administrative rank was submitted to the factory leaders, and the personnel department agreed to apply for an upgrade of one level to 23, but it needed to wait until the beginning of spring to officially take effect

This year, the farm canteen was managed by Ma Feiyan in an orderly manner, and Silly Zhu also saw it, Silly Zhu felt that he could throw the canteen to Ma Feiyan after another 2 years, and the third canteen also needed to find a suitable candidate, but there was no one at present

Silly Zhu is now slowly learning to let go and let the people below manage themselves, they are growing and they are growing

After everyone cleaned up the warehouse together, Silly Zhu asked everyone to go to collect their wages together, and by the time a few people arrived, there were not many people

"Section Chief He, you're here, this is your salary"

"Thank you, that's so polite" Silly Zhu took the salary handed over from the other side and said thank you to the other party

It's okay to count 870,000, 800,000 is your own salary, 20,000 of the 70,000 is overtime pay, and 50,000 is a subsidy

Look at the number, yes, the stupid pillar put the money in his pocket, and the subsidy he paid for his part-time job after his promotion was gone, and now there is only a salary plus subsidy every month, and if there is overtime, there will be overtime pay

As for those who say that they don't count the money when they receive their salary, this money is also earned by their own hard work, and you sign it after receiving your salary

After a few people in the canteen received their salaries, everyone walked towards the canteen together, not to give additional benefits to the canteen people, but the New Year's goods of the stupid pillar were also placed in the canteen

Get your own New Year's goods silly pillar and everyone said a good New Year and plan to get off work early, the rest is to clean up and stay there is no need, silly pillar has to go back to buy New Year's dishes, a few days before the New Year is a little busy, silly Zhu didn't care to go up to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy vegetables

Silly Zhu went to the supply and marketing cooperatives in December to buy a watch, the sewing machine himself can't use it, and the rain fart is a child, and he buys it with raw ashes. Silly Zhu also bought an additional camera, and he regretted that he didn't take a photo with Master before, and he decided to buy one when he saw the camera

Silly Zhu walked towards the carport with his things in his hand, greeting familiar people along the way. Riding towards the supply and marketing cooperative, some meat still needs to be bought, vegetables do not need to bring some from the farm enough for their own Chinese New Year's Eve meal, just beef those

I don't know if it's because it's going to be released in limited quantities next year or because of the New Year, the price of meat is 2% more expensive than before, but Silly Zhu doesn't care very much. I don't buy much and it doesn't cost much

"Three masters, it's going to be the New Year soon, why don't you go home to prepare New Year's goods and still wander around the door?"

When I walked to the courtyard, I saw that the three masters were guarding the gate again

"Pillar, isn't this the three masters thinking about writing Spring Festival couplets for the big guy this year, ready to ask which one needs it, do you want it?"

"Three masters, don't worry, there are elders in the old rules of Sijiu City who have passed away for three years and don't post Spring Festival couplets, and my master is also my elder."

"Yes, that's okay" Hearing that the stupid pillar doesn't need the Spring Festival couplet, the three masters can't force others to post it, he's afraid that if he says something, the stupid pillar really dares to beat him

After saying goodbye to the three masters, Silly Zhu returned home and took out the tablets of the master and mother, ready to wipe them with water, and the portraits of the masters and ancestors were also offered

Silly Zhu was cleaning at home, and suddenly heard someone shouting to himself, opened the door and saw that this was not Lou Bancheng

"Dong Lou, why are you here, please come in"

"Zhuzi, Happy New Year, we haven't seen each other for 1 year", Lou Bancheng walked into Silly Zhu's room and sat on a chair and said

"It's been more than 1 year, it's almost 2 years, and I haven't seen you again after the 53 years of the Chinese New Year, but I know that you have been to the rolling mill, but you haven't seen it", Silly Zhu handed Lou Bancheng a glass of water

"You kid, I haven't seen too much change in 2 years, I heard that you have become a section chief now", Lou Bancheng was also a little embarrassed after speaking, the kid who once took the initiative to ask for a job has now become a hot figure in the rolling mill

"You are smiling, it is all appreciated by the leader, you have been in good health recently", said with a smile

"I really can't believe it, that year, your kid didn't take the initiative to ask for a job in the rolling mill before I was tall, just to support my sister, and now you have become so tall and strong in a blink of an eye"

"Hey! Isn't it also helpless, if I don't go to work, my sister will starve to death, and my father will leave my sister to me, so I have to take care of her."

"Okay, I'm not talking nonsense, I'm here today to ask you to help me cook a meal at noon tomorrow, I don't know if you can give me face for this old guy now", Lou Bancheng looked at the stupid pillar with his eyes

"Don't say this, you didn't take me in at the beginning, I may still be working as a coolie at that dock, let alone a meal, it's not a matter to cook for you for ten days and a half months, or your house, I'll go over by myself tomorrow morning" Silly Zhu is indeed a little grateful to Lou Bancheng, although Lou Bancheng said that he was very utilitarian, but he did pull himself at that time, and he was also a person who knew how to repay his kindness

"No, I'll let someone pick you up tomorrow, cook the Tan family's dishes tomorrow, I'll prepare everything, that's it, I'll go first, you continue to be busy", Lou Bancheng got up and walked out of the room

Silly Zhu hurriedly got up to send Lou Bancheng, the gate is still Lou's car, although Lou Bancheng has no assets now, but the dividends of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars every year are still very nourishing

Silly Zhu is very complicated for the Lou family, Lou Xiao'e has a special feeling for herself in her memory, she saved the Lou family, she gave birth to a son for herself, and also let her son's surname He, and did not let the He family cut off children and grandchildren, which is a great credit to the He family

However, the current stupid pillar does not want to follow the old path, if he really marries Lou Xiao'e, with his own understanding of the people in the courtyard, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong will definitely report the Lou family in 66 years, Lou Xiao'e still needs to run away, it is better to be an ordinary friend, wait a few years to prevent the marriage between the Xu family and the Lou family and not let Lou Xiao'e enter the courtyard, and see if you can solve the problem of the Lou family, if you can't let the Lou family run away in advance

At 8 o'clock the next day, Lou's car arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and the stupid pillar did not delay much

The Lou family's villa is still the same as in previous years, but it is a little depressed. It was Xu Damao's mother who opened the door, and in her memory she seemed to have been dismissed by the Lou family in 55, and the situation in the country began to change dramatically in 55 years, and the Lou family naturally saw this and dismissed many servants in the family

Mother Xu led the stupid pillar to the kitchen, and the kitchen was really placed with the ingredients that the Lou family had prepared a long time ago, looking at the sea cucumber, abalone and shark fin in front of him, the stupid pillar also sighed a little, the Lou family has come to this point and only cares about enjoyment, no wonder they will fight these capitalists in the future, ordinary people can't afford to eat

"Master He, hello"

Hearing the voice, the stupid pillar turned his head to look, it was Lou Xiao'e who spoke, she hadn't grown up a lot in a few years, and the first time she saw Lou Xiao'e was the first time she came to Lou's house to cook during the Spring Festival in 52, when Lou Xiao'e was in her teens, she hadn't grown up a lot in a few years, and she looked more and more plump in the future

"Miss Lou, hello, long time no see"

"Master He, I haven't seen you for several years, I didn't expect you to grow so much taller", Lou Xiao'e should be thirteen or fourteen now, and he remembers that he and Xu Damao got married about 62 years ago, when Lou Xiao'e was just in her early 20s

"Lou Xiao'e has become more and more beautiful after not seeing her for a few years" In terms of appearance, the most beautiful in the courtyard must be Qin Huairu, if you say that the temperament is the best, it must be Lou Xiao'e, Qin Huairu is a pity that she married into the Jia family, and it is indeed a pity that Jia Dongxu became black after his death

Lou Xiao'e may be the reason for her tutor, even if she enters the courtyard for a few years, she still maintains that simple heart, but this kind of person is destined to be the object of blood sucking in the courtyard, including the stupid pillar

"Master He, I have eaten your dishes before, and I still want your father to ask you to come over to cook, but my father said that you are busy with work and have no time, can you come to my house a few more times in the future, I especially like the dishes you make."

"Miss Lou likes it, if you want to eat that day, you can ask your father to go to our courtyard or the rolling mill and call me", Silly Zhu looked at Lou Xiao'e's simple face

"Then thank you, Master He, you are busy first, and I will chat with you later", Silly Zhu nodded

The Lou family must be inviting some important people to the banquet today, otherwise they will not suddenly make Tan family dishes, now the situation is becoming more and more rigorous, and the Tan family dishes are estimated to be only seen in the BJ restaurant in the future, Peng Changhai is his uncle, and his father is a sworn friend, this year just moved from Guozi Lane to Xidan "Enchengju", and when he moved over some time ago, he also went to participate in the housewarming banquet

Tanjia cuisine pays attention to the slow cooking, the cooking of bird's nest and shark fin is the most famous, shark fin needs to be soaked in warm water, penetrating, the process is very long, often takes a week, and then use the "hanging" soup to cook, the production of the soup is more complicated, with the whole chicken, whole duck, dried scallops, ham corresponding proportions, but also need to boil the chicken and duck, this time takes at least two to three days

Tan family cuisine is too expensive materials, one is too time-consuming, some people say that Tan family cuisine is not an ordinary dish, there are a few people who go to eat Tan family cuisine are for those green vegetables and radishes, all to enjoy this high-end ingredients, Tan family cuisine is sought after This is this kind of high-end market

In addition, the Lou family also prepared bird's nest, mandarin fish, sea cucumber, etc., and the silly pillar looked at the menu, which was basically the main dish of Tan's cuisine - braised shark's fin, bird's nest in clear soup, purple abalone with oyster sauce, grilled black cucumber, steamed chicken with straw mushrooms, white fungus vegetarian stew and several other vegetarian dishes

In the past, He Daqing told Silly Zhu that the rule was that the Tan family cuisine needs to serve 6 dishes before the banquet, including barbecued pork, braised duck liver, fried soft chicken, spiced fish, grilled sausages, etc., with good Shaoxing rice wine, and wait for the guests to eat and drink about 20% to start serving the main dish, Tan family cuisine has a rule, there must be a vacant seat next to the main seat

However, since I came to Lou's house to cook in the 52nd year, I have never asked Silly Zhu to cook 6 dishes before the banquet, and I don't know the reason, including today's total of 8 dishes and two kinds of snacks fresh and sweet after the meal

Silly Zhu saw that the time was not early, dressed and ready to cook, and there were servants in the kitchen of Lou's house, so he didn't have to worry about manpower

At 11 o'clock, the dishes were formed in the hands of the stupid pillar, and after the people brought the dishes out, the stupid pillar was ready to say goodbye, and asked the maid to call Lou Bancheng or Mrs. Lou. After waiting for about 5 minutes, I saw Mrs. Lou walk into the kitchen

"Master He, why did you hear the maid say that you are ready to leave?"

"Hello Mrs. Lou, this is not Chinese New Year's Eve, there are still many things in the house that have not been prepared, I think that the dishes have been finished and I am ready to go back and clean up first"

"Since that's the case, I won't keep you, come here, bring the things prepared for Master He to the door, Master He, let's go to the door first"

Silly Zhu nodded and walked to the door with Mrs. Lou, Silly Zhu also had some guesses about the identity of Lou Xiao'e's mother, but he didn't confirm it, first, his father He Daqing didn't know her, and he didn't hear what his teacher Peng Changhai said, but it can be confirmed that she is the Tan family, as for whether it is the current daughter of the main family, Tan Lingrou, it is not clear

The Lou family sent the stupid pillar two large bags of things, and the stupid pillar was not easy to open on the spot, so he could only go back to the courtyard first, and Mrs. Lou asked the driver to wait at the door, and then Lou Xiao'e ran out of the door

"Master He, are you going to go back?"

"Miss Lou, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and there is still something at home, so I will take my leave first"

"After that, I want to eat the dishes you cooked, but people will call you, this is what you promised me", Lou Xiao'e looked at the stupid pillar innocently

"Of course no problem, your father knows the address of my house, if you are not at home, you can find me in the rolling mill, Miss Lou goodbye, Mrs. Lou go back, it's cold"

"Goodbye Master Ho"

After saying goodbye to the mother and daughter, Silly Zhu also got into the car. The driver was not the one who picked him up in the morning, and there was more than one driver in the Lou family

When I got home, I opened the things sent by Lou's family, and sure enough, it was some food, which was almost the same as the previous delivery, all of which were the materials of Tan's dishes, and the bird's nest sent this time was a little more than 3 boxes, and there were 4 in one box, and now it needs to be soaked for a few hours

Silly Zhu is going to soak it first, and send some to Mu Xue later for her to taste it too, although I heard that the living conditions of the people are good. But I guess I haven't eaten this thing before. The rain doesn't know who to run out with to play and is not at home, the stupid pillar first soaked the bird's nest, shark fin and sea cucumber are processed, no need to soak for a few days

It turned out that Silly Zhu wanted to take it over, but he found that his lunch box was not very convenient, and it was cold when he arrived, so he could only call Mu Xue over to eat, and after looking at the time, it was almost half past eleven, and after thinking about it, he sent it over and let them make it themselves

Silly Zhu rode towards Mu Xue's house with two boxes of bird's nest and a box of abalone and some vegetables, and when he encountered rain at the door, he told him that the meal was ready, eat it first, don't wait for himself, he has to go out

The one who opened the door was Wenren Mingxue, and in October, Wenren Mingxue returned to Sijiu City to know that the little cook was in love with his sister, and she didn't agree with the two at first, but then she learned that her grandmother was also silent

"Why did you come here today on Chinese New Year's Eve, my sister is in the room, I'll call her"
