Chapter 61: Wealth and Fascinating Eyes
After hearing what his brother said, Fu Zhengze felt happy to be praised by others, and his head started to feel dizzy, and he fantasized about his future wife.
Family background is the most important thing, followed by a gentle personality, taking good care of him and the family. It would be even better if she has a fair complexion.
Director Wang came into his house carrying a heavy wine box. His fat face, swollen from drinking too much, kept shaking with his anxious steps. He grunted as he tore open the gift box.
Director Wang saw at a glance the pile of gold hidden underneath, which was so dazzling that it dazzled his eyes.
It is true that wealth and luxury are dazzling.
"This kid is really willing to spend money. Hahahaha, all this gold is mine!"
Director Wang was breathing rapidly, and the fat man's face turned red with anxiety. He held a gold brick in his hand and took a bite excitedly.
"Ah—my teeth—"
When I took a bite, it was unexpectedly hard and almost broke my lower teeth.
"What's going on?"
No matter how stupid Director Wang was, he knew that gold was soft when bitten. He sobered up immediately and looked carefully at this big golden treasure.
"It really looks like gold. Would Fu Zhengze dare to lie to me?"
Director Wang stared at the gold with his eyes wide open, and smelled it closely, and there was a strange smell.
I took out a piece and weighed it in my palm, and realized something was wrong.
"That's not right? Is this gold so light?"
Director Wang was afraid that there was something wrong with his feeling, so he got up and went home to find a piece of gold that he had secretly stolen when he raided the capitalists.
It was slightly smaller than the one Fu Zhengze had given him, but it was obviously much heavier in his hand than the one he had just received.
"Fuck you, Fu Zhengze, you bastard, how dare you lie to me?"
So what Fu Zhengze handed over was not gold, but brass. They looked similar, but the difference between the two could be distinguished by their softness, hardness and weight.
"Perhaps you think I'm as dumb as a pig and are deliberately using fake goods to deceive people?"
Director Wang's blood pressure soared again. He quickly stabilized it and thought fiercely about how to deal with Fu Zhengze.
When he saw the gold, he also thought of taking out half of it and handing it to his superiors so that he could take it up a bit.
He never expected that he would be tricked by Fu Zhengze, a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet.
"Hmph! I'll make sure your plans come to nothing!"
…
In the afternoon, Qian Baozhu hurried back. When he entered the door, he found out that people from the Revolutionary Committee had come today.
When he thought that there were only two women at home this morning, he ran into the house with his round body like a ball.
"Afen, Xiaoyu, how are you today? Are you hurt?"
As soon as Qian Baozhu entered the room, he looked for Yu Afen with worried eyes.
"Dad, you're finally back. Mom and I were scared to death today."
Qian Yu was helping to clean up in the kitchen and complained when she heard Qian Baozhu's voice.
"Old Qian, why are you back at this time today?"
Yu Afen also came out of the room, wondering why Qian Baozhu came back so late in the afternoon today, as he usually didn't come home until after dinner.
"Ah Fen, I was called in this morning to cook for a big shot. The requirements were very high, and I wasn't allowed to leave until the work was done."
It was the first time for him to take on such a difficult job. His apprentices were of no help at all. The food had to be exquisite and delicious and presented on the plate, which made him very tired.
Qian Baozhu had been busy all day and his wrists were sore from flipping the wok. He suddenly remembered to take out two lunch boxes from his bag.
"Afen, you've worked hard today. I packed some delicious food for you to try."
"Old Qian, you didn't know that Fu Zhenggang brought people to our house today and wanted to make a move on Qian Yu..."
"What? That little jerk Fu Zhenggang dared to show off in my house! I'll chop his restless hands off with a kitchen knife!"
Qian Baozhu's bulging belly made him even angrier.
"Luckily, Xiulan and Lao Xie arrived in time, as Lao Xie injured his waist and is now lying at home."
Yu Afen was afraid that Lao Qian would act impulsively, so she quickly said something.
After hearing this, Qian Baozhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Afen, Old Xie has injured his waist. Go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow and buy some things for the Xie family."
"You don't even need to tell me that. I've already thought about it."
Yu Afen glanced at Qian Baozhu with an angry look.
"Dad, please give a portion of this delicious dish to Aunt Gao tonight."
Qian Yu looked at the lunch boxes on the dining table. They were still hot when he opened them. There were two large lunch boxes full of delicious dishes, including stir-fried lamb with green onions and fried fish fillets.
"Okay, Xiaoyu, you go and send it off."
Qian Yu responded and went to the kitchen to get a large bowl. He used clean chopsticks to divide the food into half. This was for his family to eat.
There was still half of the two dishes in the lunch box. Qian Yu closed the lid and carried it to the Xie family in the east wing.
It was still afternoon, and Diao Yulian was washing and drying clothes by the water collection pool in the yard.
Someone with sharp eyes saw Qian Yu carrying two lunch boxes and walking towards the Xie family. Qian Baozhu was the chef, so it was obvious that these were good things to be sent to the Xie family.
"Hey, isn't this Xiaoyu? What good stuff are you carrying?"
Diao Yulian asked softly in a pinched voice, her eyes looking at Qian Yu's hand like hooks.
Qian Yu's body trembled for a moment, he held the lunch box tightly in his hand, and said something in a choked tone.
"What's it to you?"
Qian Yu didn't care about Diao Yulian's pale face. He walked around Diao Yulian and quickly went to Xie's house.
"Hmph! Look how arrogant you are! You deserve it that the Qian family doesn't have a male heir to support the family."
Diao Yulian was so angry that her teeth were itching. She hammered her clothes loudly and cursed under her breath.
"Auntie, are you home?"
Lin Xiaotong went to work in the afternoon. Xie Da Jiao rested in the house. Gao Xiulan made a soft cushion for Xie Da Jiao in the main room with small pieces of cloth and cotton.
"Is that Xiaoyu? Do you have something to ask Auntie? What are you doing?"
Gao Xiulan saw the two lunch boxes in Qian Yu's hands and smelled the aroma of meat and vegetables.
"Aunt, my dad asked me to bring some delicious food over. You and uncle can try it. I'm leaving now."
Qian Yu was afraid that Gao Xiulan would quarrel with her, so she put down her lunch box and ran away, saying something before leaving.
"Auntie, I'll come get the lunch box tomorrow!"
"Hey—why are you running so fast, kid?"
"Slow down!"
Before Gao Xiulan had time to open the lid to see what was inside, Qian Yu ran back home.
"Wow! This meat must be Lao Qian's cooking."
When Lin Xiaotong came back in the evening, she saw two meat dishes on the dining table.
"Mom, is the food so good tonight?"
Lin Xiaotong helped put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, looked at the sumptuous dinner and asked Gao Xiulan hesitantly.
"It was sent by the Qian family. Your Uncle Qian is the master chef of a state-owned restaurant!"
Gao Xiulan pushed Xie Da Jiao out of the house and replied.
Lin Xiaotong went back to the kitchen to help serve the food, and the three of them gathered around to start eating.
Lin Xiaotong first picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks. This is a Shandong cuisine dish, stir-frying mutton with green onions.
The mutton is tender and juicy, without any fishy smell, and it is not salty at all when eaten with rice.
Another dish, fried fish fillets, is a famous imperial delicacy. The fried carp fillets are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The golden fish fillets are coated with a sweet and sour sauce, which is very fresh and fragrant in one bite.
The food tonight was so delicious that Lin Xiaotong drank two small bowls of rice.
Uncle Qian’s skills will allow him to open a private restaurant in the future, and he won’t have to worry about lack of customers.
