Qian Wenqing followed behind Xu Xiangyang like a wronged little wife.
The two returned home one after the other, and Xu Xiangyang went back first to change his clothes.
Qian Wenqing stayed inside, chatting with Xu Guangtian.
"Uncle, you don't know, the new director and deputy director here are said to be very capable people. The deputy director was transferred from Beiping."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guangtian was terrified!
"What?! Beiping? That's the capital! People from the capital have come!" His jaw nearly dropped in surprise; forgive him for being so naive.
That's amazing! Although he's never been to Beiping, it doesn't stop him from knowing that it's where leaders live, so it must be very powerful.
Qian Wenqing had a smug look on his face, as if he were the new deputy director.
"Uncle, let me tell you, our grain bureau is going to be interesting from now on. I wonder what those two directors will do. If they don't get along, they'll have to take sides!"
Xu Xiangyang came in at this moment and heard what he said. He rolled his eyes and then said to Xu Guangtian, "Dad, don't believe him. What's with all this talk about taking sides? We're just ordinary workers, we don't need that."
He originally didn't want to say anything, but seeing Xu Guangtian's convinced expression, he decided to say something anyway.
Xu Guangtian didn't know who to listen to, but he figured his son was always right.
"Alright then." He nodded.
Qian Wenqing smiled and shut up, then looked at Xu Xiangyang.
He was afraid that if he spoke again he would be beaten. Today he had truly experienced Xu Xiangyang's ruthless iron fist. It was terrifying.
Xu Xiangyang ignored him and turned to go out to check on the beef bone soup.
It's almost done stewing. Because I added a lot of white wine, the gamey smell isn't too strong.
The stewing time is not long yet, so the bones are not completely mushy.
"I'm going out for a bit," he said, and then left.
Qian Wenqing heard him go out and wanted to follow, but when he got to the gate, he didn't see anyone.
"It flew away? How could it run so fast!" He was speechless. Was this on purpose? Did it not want to take him along?
Xu Xiangyang really hadn't planned to bring anyone along. After all, he needed to find a place to enter his spatial dimension to retrieve something. What would be the point of bringing people along? To perform a magic trick of turning people into real beings? Don't be ridiculous.
After carrying the basket back, Qian Wenqing and Xu Guangtian were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting.
Wang Zhongshan saw that Qian Wenqing was a good-for-nothing, so he stayed in the house with Granny Wang to help look after the children.
When Xu Xiangyang returned, Qian Wenqing was very perceptive and immediately went over to help carry the basket.
Let's see what delicious food is inside...
"What are you doing?" Xu Xiangyang was both amused and exasperated by his spineless behavior.
Qian Wenqing's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the large piece of beef.
"My goodness! Where did you buy such good beef? Brother Xu, what news did you hear? Why didn't you tell me?" He said with a hint of regret.
Why not let him come along? Look at this bright red beef, it must be good meat.
I haven't heard of any beef being supplied recently!
Xu Xiangyang had already prepared his explanation: "This was brought to me by a fellow villager I met a few days ago. Their brigade's cattle were injured, and if they die in the next few days, they will give me the beef they allocated, and I will give him money and coupons."
Because the autumn harvest has been over for a long time now, most rural people rarely come to the city.
So even though he wanted to get certified, he couldn't find anyone to help him.
Qian Wenqing couldn't help but sigh at Xu Xiangyang's good luck in encountering this event, wondering why he himself couldn't.
After Xu Xiangyang finished speaking, he took the basket and went to the kitchen, set up the iron stove, and started burning charcoal.
You need help cutting and skewering the meat; otherwise, why should you just sit there and eat what's served to you?
These past few days, I've often gone to the space area in the evenings, and as soon as I arrive, I can smell the aroma of the night market.
However, due to his heavy responsibilities, Xu Xiangyang had not yet indulged in any sensual pleasures.
There's only half an hour in total, not enough time to eat, so it's better to cook here ourselves. They all taste pretty much the same, but he uses better ingredients.
Qian Wenqing had eaten barbecue before, but here they all use their own home-fired stoves to grill, so it's not very authentic.
"Brother Xu, you can even make this kind of thing? That's amazing!" He wiped the drool from his mouth.
The cured meat already smells delicious enough, it will definitely taste even better!
Xu Xiangyang said with a smile, "Eat less later, this stuff is bad for you, it can easily give you diarrhea."
That's right. These days, eating too much meat will give you diarrhea because people don't eat meat often, so their stomachs can't handle it.
But Xu Xiangyang's family is different; they eat meat at least once a day, and sometimes twice a day.
In the morning, Xu Xiangyang insisted that the family eat porridge and steamed buns, mainly light meals, while lunch and dinner were optional.
This is also to protect the stomach and intestines; it's not good to eat this for a long time.
So now, no matter how much meat you eat, you won't get diarrhea anymore.
People in this day and age probably envy them.
That's great, I can eat meat without getting diarrhea!
Once the barbecue was placed on the grill, a delicious aroma of meat began to waft through the air.
Of course, the stewed beef bones had been smelling delicious all along, but not as strong as the barbecue.
"Mom, I want to eat meat!" The neighbor's kid started acting like a donkey.
"Eat my ass! You look more like meat to me!"
The family sat around the stove, completely oblivious to the sounds of their neighbors beating their children.
If a child wants something to eat, buy it for him; if you don't, beat him up.
We don't even have enough to eat at home, so we can't very well generously give the meat to our neighbors, can we?
This isn't some cornbread; you can just give me two, this is meat!
"Wow, this smells amazing!" Qian Wenqing took the meat skewer Xu Xiangyang gave him and took a bite. It was simply delicious.
What divine food!
Everyone else thought it was delicious, but Wang Xiumin sighed, drank the beef soup, and then ate a couple of bites of beef bone.
She has to breastfeed, so she absolutely cannot eat this kind of barbecue.
Xu Xiangyang said that, but who knows if it's true?
Seeing that she was unhappy, Grandma Wang said, "Xiumin, you really can't eat this beef skewer. It's spicy and greasy."
She thought her eldest grandson was right; this stuff shouldn't be given to her daughter. How could a breastfeeding baby eat something so greasy?
Wang Xiumin still trusted her mother, so she nodded and said, "I don't want to eat it. This beef bone is delicious too. Mom, you should have some too."
Grandma Wang took the beef soup she was handed over, "This is fine. I get tired of those beef skewers, I don't like them!"
At this moment, Wang Xiumin really wanted to change her appetite; she wanted to eat!
That looks delicious!
Tonight's dinner was the best meal Qian Wenqing had ever had. Even the meat coupons he had spent during the day didn't seem so bad to him now.
This is amazing! It's grilled meat and beef bone soup, it's so satisfying, and there's even some cheap liquor. It's like living in paradise.
Qian Wenqing left after a satisfying meal, saying he would come again next time.
I smell so good today!
