Chapter 67: Soybean Oil Pressing Workshop
Bai Xiumei was not willing to be left behind and reached for the plate of small river shrimps.
Small river shrimps of this size are hard to buy in Beijing.
Small river shrimps fried with leeks are fresh, fragrant and crispy.
There are also some small miscellaneous fish on the side. Take a bite, garnished with green and red peppers and served with garlic, and it has a different taste.
Bai Xiumei is not a good cook but she is a foodie and pays special attention to food.
This lunch at the Gu family captured her directly.
Whether it is small river shrimps, small miscellaneous fish, boiled fish fillets, or even simply stir-fried water spinach, Bai Xiumei thinks they are exceptionally delicious.
"I just seemed to hear someone asking you to arrange a job for her?" Bai Xiumei raised her head from the bowl with difficulty and looked at Su Mingmei.
Xiao Tuan picked up a piece of fish and ate it, then looked over as well.
Su Mingmei is now the principal of a kindergarten, so it is normal for someone to ask her for help.
"Stop talking about it. I'm having a headache because of this matter lately!" Su Mingmei smiled helplessly.
Not only Qiaomai, but also other military wives in the compound.
They all want to use her connections to get the qualifications to be kindergarten teachers.
"You handle this matter yourself, but I believe your sister-in-law can definitely handle it!" Xiao Tuan couldn't help but remind her.
It is best not to use a back door for this kind of thing!
It will have a bad impact on yourself and may easily lead to criticism.
"Don't worry, Xiao Tuan, I know what I'm doing!" Su Mingmei nodded.
To her, everyone is the same!
If you want to become a teacher in a kindergarten, just follow the process and follow the normal selection specifications.
"I think Qiaomai will not compromise easily. Why is she meddling in other people's affairs as she is a pregnant woman? I don't even dare to open the gate of the courtyard casually, for fear that she will target me again!" Dong Yulan muttered.
Xiao Tuan had also heard of Zhang Rui's mother and his wife.
Zhang Rui's mother caused trouble as soon as she came to the compound, and she was targeting Qibao's milk powder. This made him have a bad impression of Zhang Rui's family.
Now that Zhang Rui's wife has done this again, Xiao Yi feels that this family is really noisy.
"You deal with this matter first. If you encounter any trouble, come to me!" Xiao Tuan said to Su Mingmei.
As the team leader, he always plays a role!
"Let me thank the captain on behalf of my wife. With your words, Mingmei can do it with confidence and boldness!" Gu Jianguo quickly agreed.
"I'm not just doing this to help my sister-in-law. The sooner the teachers for the kindergarten are confirmed, the sooner the kindergarten can open. After all, everyone is looking forward to it!" Xiao Yi said.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
When Xiao Tuan and his wife left, Dong Yulan gave them a lot of fried small fish and river shrimps.
"These have been salted. They are best eaten today and tomorrow. If you need any side dishes, just pick some from our yard and bring them back!" Dong Yulan said as she instructed the old man to pick vegetables for Xiao Tuan and his wife.
Su Qingshan didn't hesitate and just picked up the basket and picked some of everything.
Finally I picked a full basket of vegetables!
Green and red peppers, loofah, eggplant, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers...
"If it's not enough, come back and pick more. The vegetables we grow ourselves will taste better!" Su Qingshan promised solemnly.
He was not bragging. The vegetables in the yard not only grew beautifully, but also tasted delicious.
Things like cucumbers and tomatoes are delicious when eaten raw.
Xiao Tuan took a basket of vegetables, and Bai Xiumei took the fried fish and shrimp, and they returned with a full load.
There are still a lot of small fish and river shrimps left.
Hearing that Su Qingshan was going out tomorrow to bring food to his younger brother Su Mingyuan, Su Mingmei nodded repeatedly.
"Pack more small fish and shrimps, and pick some cucumbers and tomatoes from the vegetable garden. If there is anything else you can take, please prepare it. Also, ask Mingyuan to come to our house for dinner when he is resting!" Su Mingmei reminded.
She is busy with kindergarten affairs every day and has no time to deal with these things, so she has to trouble her mother to come herself.
"Okay, but your dad said that Qibao has rarely gone out to play since he was a child. He wanted to visit Mingyuan tomorrow and take Qibao with him." Dong Yulan said.
What my daughter didn't tell her was that my husband was planning to take her to the oil press to make oil.
The next morning, Su Qingshan took the fish, shrimp, vegetables and chili sauce that his wife had prepared in advance and set off in the army's purchasing vehicle.
The last time Gu Qiqi went out was when Gu Jianguo was injured and went to the military hospital.
The purchased military trucks sped along the road.
It wasn't long before we arrived in the city.
Su Qingshan got out of the car holding Qibao.
The drop-off point is not far from the cotton textile factory, and it takes about half an hour to walk there.
"Walk by yourself!" Gu Qiqi was afraid of tiring out grandpa, so she insisted on getting down and walking by herself.
"Okay, hold grandpa's hand and don't get lost!" Su Qingshan put Qibao down and reminded him.
All the things Su Qingshan brought were packed in the backpack.
The top layer of the backpack was covered with a layer of snakeskin bag, so it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
When they arrived at the cotton mill and stood at the gate, Su Qingshan handed a cigarette to the gatekeeper and explained his purpose.
"Okay, wait here, I'll go call someone for you!" The old man held a cigarette and happily helped to call Su Mingyuan.
Hearing his family calling him, Su Mingyuan dropped the work in his hands and walked quickly towards the factory gate.
Soon, he saw Su Qingshan and his niece Gu Qiqi waiting outside.
"Dad, Qibao, why are you here? It's so hot, why don't you find a shady place to wait?" Su Mingyuan felt so distressed when he saw the two of them, especially his little niece whose face was sunburned.
"Okay, I brought you some food. We'll be leaving soon!" Su Qingshan handed the backpack to Su Mingyuan.
Su Mingyuan stretched out his hand to take it, and it was quite heavy!
"What is this filled with? Why is it so heavy?" Su Mingyuan looked puzzled.
"Take care of it yourself. If you can't finish it, share some with your colleagues. Okay, let's go!" After Su Qingshan finished speaking, he took Xiao Qibao's hand and walked towards the oil press without looking back.
It was a small oil press workshop, about twenty minutes' walk from the cotton mill.
He happened to know Lao Deng who worked in the workshop.
With this relationship, even without a letter of introduction, it should be no problem to help out privately.
Su Mingyuan was dumbfounded when he saw his father leaving like this!
He hasn't even said a few words yet, is there any need to be so anxious?
Su Qingshan and his friends came out early, so there were not many pedestrians on the road. In addition, the oil press workshop was quite remote, so there were basically no passers-by.
When they got outside the workshop, Su Qingshan signaled Qibao to produce the beans.
The next second, four baskets of beans appeared out of thin air and landed steadily on the ground.
Originally there were five baskets, but he kept one basket at home. When he asked the stonemason to build a millstone, he would grind some soy milk for the children to drink every day, or make some delicious bean paste.
"My dear, can you stay here and guard it?" Su Qingshan looked around and saw that there was no one around. He felt uneasy just leaving the beans there, so he looked at Qibao and asked.
Shippo nodded.
Su Qingshan entered the oil press workshop and called out to Lao Deng.
