"Okay, Director."
Li Qinghe agreed with a smile. Although he didn't care about the food, he had to accept it since the other party gave him the honor.
People in later generations will never know what a meal of pork meant to people of that era. Life was so hard back then that just having a meal of stewed meat could make them happy for several days.
Director Liu was stunned when he saw Li Qinghe's calm look, but then he realized that Li Qinghe had the connections to get the unexpected things, and a meal of meat was not a rare thing for him.
However, whether others need something or not is their business, but my gratitude has been appreciated.
"Qinghe, I'm going to be busy first, remember to come later."
"I remember that."
After Director Liu left, Li Qinghe came to Nan Yi, who was washing his bloody hands, put his arm around his shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it? Did I lie to you? Should you thank me?"
Nan Yi was also happy and said with a smile: "Okay, I really thank you. Tell me how you want me to thank you."
Li Qinghe looked around and whispered, "I got some meat, chicken, and flour. How about you show me some cooking skills? And make some longevity noodles."
"Is it your birthday?" Nan Yi looked confused.
"It's not me, it's Liang Ladi's daughter, Xiu'er, her birthday is coming up soon. I live downstairs from Sister Liang, so I was thinking of preparing a table of birthday dishes for her daughter."
Nan Yi looked shocked, "You...you wouldn't have gotten involved with Liang Ladi..."
Li Qinghe rolled his eyes and interrupted, "You have such a dirty mind. I feel sorry for those kids. They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes all day. I've seen those kids picking up trash several times after get off work. I couldn't bear to see it, so I wanted to help them."
Nan Yi nodded in understanding, but still couldn't help but warn: "Even so, I still have to tell you that Liang Ladi is not an easy person to deal with. I heard that she often hooks up with people in the factory and pretends to be pitiful to trick people into giving her things. You have to be careful."
"Come on, it's not gentlemanly to speak ill of others behind their backs. As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Don't spread unfounded rumors. Besides, I'm helping her daughter, not her personally."
"That's good." Nan Yi laughed, as long as Li Qinghe was not deceived, "Tell me when, I will be ready."
Li Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it in the evening. I guess you'll be busy in the cafeteria during the day. When you get off work in the evening, I'll let you take the extra food home as a snack."
"Hey, you dare to say that. You even give me enough to use as food and wine. How much can you get? Liang Ladi has five mouths to feed at home, and there are six if you count you. How much can you get?" Nan Yi looked unconvinced.
It’s not easy to get enough food to feed six people these days, let alone to eat well.
You have to know that people in this period had huge appetites. If they ate until they were full, the food would have to be calculated by kilogram.
Li Qinghe smiled proudly, "Just wait and see, I promise you will have some snacks to go with the wine, ok, I will leave first. By the way, I advise you to take a shower first and change your clothes, otherwise this smell..."
Nan Yi hit him lightly and scolded him with a smile, "You have to tell me this, I'm a professional."
Although they had only known each other for a few days, he could feel that Li Qinghe was a good person and a kind person. He was polite to everyone and never got angry.
He actually didn't know that Li Qinghe just hadn't met anyone who could annoy him, otherwise he would have ended up as farm manure. Moreover, he was not a kind person, he was a black-hearted person at that time.
Just as Nan Yi was about to change his clothes, Li Qinghe suddenly came back and said, "Nan Yi, there is something I want to remind you. You have to pay attention to Cui Dake. This man is not someone you can trust. Don't let him into the kitchen."
"Hmm?" Nan Yi was puzzled.
In fact, he really admired Cui Dake in his heart and wanted to find an opportunity to get him into the kitchen.
Li Qinghe leaned close to Nan Yi's ear and whispered, "You were in the toilet before and didn't have the latest information. I've seen him. This guy is good at flattering people and can't do anything else. The reason he was able to stay in the factory was because he flattered the factory leaders and said he could kill pigs. Today, he was exposed and caused trouble.
"If the factory has quotas for temporary workers, don't take them."
"Is he such a person?" Nan Yi showed a hint of surprise.
He had no doubt that Li Qinghe had any purpose. Cui Dake had no conflict with him and they had never even spoken to each other.
He frowned and said, "Okay, I'll remember that. Thank you very much."
He is a straightforward person and hates flatterers the most, so he naturally took the warning to heart.
Besides, he wasn’t familiar with Cui Dake, so there was no need to care about a stranger.
"Okay, I'll go find the factory director." Seeing this, Li Qinghe waved his hand and walked away leisurely.
......
All the way to the factory director's office, Director Liu smiled and said, "Qinghe, come here, this is a meal ticket for you. It's a good opportunity to try how Nan Yi's cooking skills compare to He Yuzhu's."
He had also eaten at the steel rolling mill before. He Yuzhu's cooking skills were indeed good, but compared with Nan Yi, the gap was actually not that big. The two were about the same.
It means that the cuisines they specialize in are different and correspond to people with different tastes.
When it comes to Sichuan cuisine or Huaiyang cuisine, He Yuzhu is definitely better.
But when it comes to processing delicacies from land and sea, five kinds of animals and eight kinds of delicacies, Nan Yi is definitely more skilled.
"Okay, thank you Director Liu. I've heard that Nan Yi's cooking skills are amazing. I'm sure I'll try it this time."
Li Qinghe took the meal voucher directly. Being polite at this time would be disrespectful to others.
After that, he asked for a task and left. It’s a bit funny to think about it. No worker has ever chased after the factory manager to ask for work.
When I passed by the place where I got the meal coupons, it was a mess and crowded, with everyone trying hard to squeeze in.
The security staff tried hard to maintain order, but the results were not very good.
"Don't push, line up."
"We have both, we have both, don't worry!"
"Hurry up and get in line, or no one will get it!"
"......"
When the workers heard that they would not be given meal coupons if they did not queue up, they finally calmed down and started to queue up.
The line moved forward slowly, and those who signed their names and received the meal coupons left with excitement on their faces, while the people behind them kept urging them on.
Li Qinghe watched with interest. These people were the reflection of this era.
Some people just unbuckled their belts after receiving the meal coupons and stuffed the coupons into their underwear.
Some of them directly asked for leave to send the meal coupons back home. The leaders knew what they were thinking and agreed to their leave just because they were afraid that the coupons would be lost accidentally.
Liang Ladi was also in the crowd. When it was finally her turn, she signed her name and was about to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Master, wait a moment, I'll give you this one too."
Dayong handed over his meal coupon with a silly smile on his face.
Liang Ladi glared at him, "You meddlesome little brat, how can I take your things? Who do you think I am?
"Your family is well-off, so give me some food. Remember to take the food home, don't eat it all by yourself."
"Yes, thank you, Master." Dayong agreed and ran away happily.
