Chapter 23 He Wants to Transfer His Hukou

The young man can eat a lot. He can eat a steamed bun in a few bites and finish a mouthful of porridge in a few gulps.

Gu Yuelin introduced them to each other. One of them was Lengchuan and the other was Weiguo. They were both friends that Gu Yuelin met in the army.

They joined the army at the same time and left the army at the same time.

Lengchuan's family used their connections to get him a job at the agricultural machinery station. Weiguo used to be in the kitchen and now works as a cook in a state-owned restaurant.

It's almost summer, they all have holidays, nothing to do.

During the chat with them, I also learned that originally Gu Yuelin did not need to retire from the army and still had a chance to be promoted. It was all because of his stepmother who always made trouble, asked for money every now and then, and always said unpleasant things.

Gu Yuelin couldn't bear it anymore and chose to retire from the army.

His superiors took a liking to him and wanted to give him a letter of introduction and arrange a job for him, but he declined and went home with his severance pay.

It was not difficult for Feng Mian to guess what Gu Yuelin was thinking. If he had a fixed unit, wouldn't he be supported by his stepmother for the rest of his life?

It would be better for him to hide his incompetence and make himself a loser so that his stepmother can sell him off, for example, to be someone's live-in son-in-law.

This era is not like the eleventh century, when household registration was very important and only those with household registration were eligible to go to the village to collect food and coupons.

Only by moving your household registration out can you save yourself a lot of trouble.

After understanding the situation, Leng Chuan said, "Sister-in-law, you are so amazing. If my sister encountered such a thing, she would probably be scared and cry."

Feng Mian smiled and said nothing.

He added: "Just hold on for a few more days, and when Brother Gu comes on the sixth day of the new year, you won't have to worry about being bullied by the gangsters."

Weiguo said, "That thug was arrested, right? He should be sentenced to two or three years in prison for attempted theft, right? I remember it was less than three years. Since he is not an imperial concubine, he should be punished more severely and sentenced to three years in prison."

Leng Chuan nodded, "Yes, he has to sit on the third leg."

As he said this, he started to worry again, "I don't think that guy is a good person. Don't let him come out and cause trouble for my sister-in-law again after three days."

"What are you afraid of? Brother Gu will be here when San Ge comes out."

Feng Mian smiled faintly and said nothing, thinking, I might not be in the village in three days, so there is no need to worry.

After dinner, the three of them got busy.

With two more people, the efficiency is more than doubled.

Changing the materials and leveling the bedroom was quick.

At noon, Fengmian stewed white radish and pork ribs, made a charcoal-grilled fish, some shredded green peppers and potatoes, and stir-fried cabbage, and cooked a big pot of white rice.

She is the only one who does all the work, and her family has hired a professional CEO to manage it, so she has an easy time.

When she has nothing to do, she watches food shows and cooking. She has learned a lot of cooking skills and a wide variety of recipes.

In the era of material scarcity, the delicious meals she cooked were the best in the world for them, with good color, aroma and taste.

After all, this guy is in a state-owned restaurant and can't even buy anything delicious even if he spends money.

The three young men ate with gusto. They ate the fish cleanly and even dipped the fish soup with steamed buns.

Weiguo is a chef in a state-owned restaurant, and everyone praises her cooking skills.

"Sister-in-law, even the chefs in our state-owned restaurant can't make such delicious fish. How did you do it?"

“This one is baked first and then boiled.”

She told him the detailed production method and Weiguo listened carefully.

However, he did not plan to cook the fish in the state-owned restaurant. He wanted to satisfy his own appetite and cook it for himself.

After all, he was getting a fixed salary, so why should he just cook the dishes on the restaurant menu? I won't give him a few more dollars.

"Sister-in-law, these vegetables are fried so fragrant and crispy. Is it hard to control the heat?"

Feng Mian said: "If you want vegetables to taste good, the cooking time is indeed very important." If you don't cook them well, they will taste like pig grass.

Leng Chuan was extremely envious and said to Gu Yuelin: "Brother, your sister-in-law is so virtuous, you are so lucky. Oh, I am envious too. When I marry in the future, I will look for a wife like your sister-in-law."
