The conditions at the County Economic Office were good, and Sheng Qingyang helped them apply for three single rooms.
Each single room is more than 20 square meters in size and has a small inner room that can be used as a storage room or kitchen. There is a bathroom on each floor.
This is not a tube-shaped building. There are only six households on each floor, and the single rooms occupied by the three of them are connected.
There is a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a cabinet inside. Although it is relatively simple, it can be used for the time being.
Song Chu was still satisfied with this. After Zhang Chunhua left, he took out some things and arranged them.
Song Ping and Gu Yue also packed up their things.
When it was almost 12 o'clock, the three of them cleaned and tidied up, made the beds, put daily necessities on them, and it looked presentable.
Sheng Qingyang came over by himself.
"Are you done packing?" He asked with a smile, standing at Song Chu's door.
Song Chu smiled and said, "It's all ready. Deputy County Chief Sheng, come in and sit down."
Gu Yue and Song Ping were both sitting inside at this time. When they saw Sheng Qingyang come in, they greeted him.
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Sheng Qingyang asked again.
It took him some effort to help Song Chu and the others apply for these three single rooms, as housing is in short supply right now.
Song Chu smiled and replied: "I am quite satisfied. Thank you for helping us apply."
Sheng Qingyang chuckled: "We are all in the same boat from now on. It is my duty to help you solve your living problems first."
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Let's go. I have agreed with the five of them to have lunch together at noon."
Song Chu stood up and picked up a bag on the table. "Okay, it's a good opportunity to give you some fermented bean curd and chili oil."
Sheng Qingyang smiled and said, "This is a good relationship."
He was just waiting to taste the food before deciding on the follow-up matters of the food factory.
Going out together, Sheng Qingyang and Gu Yue walked and talked side by side.
Gu Yue said, "Brother Sheng, I plan to bring my nephew over to live with me in a few days. Is that ok?"
Sheng Qingyang was stunned for a moment, "Nephew? Brother Gu Yan's son?"
Gu Yan is a few years older than him and used to have good connections in Kyoto.
"Well, my ex-sister-in-law abandoned the child to a renovated farm a year ago, and I went to pick him up some time ago." Gu Yue nodded.
"This is too much." Sheng Qingyang knew that Gu Yan had divorced his wife before he was sent down to the countryside, but he didn't expect that woman to be so cruel as to throw a few-year-old child into a reformed farm.
Gu Yue said with some sarcasm: "She was able to distance herself from the relationship and not be implicated at the first opportunity, and immediately attached herself to other people. What's the big deal about abandoning her husband and children?"
Sheng Qingyang sighed, "That's right. Although they say women are made of water, some women can be much more cruel than men when they become cruel."
After the Gu family got into trouble, everyone from the old man to Gu Yan was demoted because they had been in office before.
Gu Yue and Gu Yan's son, who still don't have a job, don't need to be demoted.
If you don't want to be implicated, one way is to simply publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever the relationship or divorce.
Many people did this.
If immediate family members want to stay in Kyoto, they must publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever ties, otherwise they will be severely suppressed.
Gu Yue did not choose to sever the relationship, but took the initiative to apply to work as an educated youth in a remote rural area. This was an action allowed within the scope of the organization and was also a choice that valued affection.
In order to avoid being implicated, Gu Yue's mother and sister-in-law divorced and severed ties one after another as soon as the incident happened in the Gu family, and some even remarried.
He reached out and patted Gu Yue's shoulder to comfort him, "No problem, this is the single room assigned to you, you can bring anyone you want to live with you."
"How old is your nephew?" he asked again.
Gu Yue said: "He's almost six years old, and I'm just about to send him to elementary school."
Sheng Qingyang nodded, "Have you found a school? We have a place in the county's No. 1 primary school. Do you want me to help you get one?"
Gu Yue was originally planning to ask the director of the steel plant for help to go to the mining primary school. Hearing what he said, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Sheng."
The county's No. 1 primary school is just on the street behind, less than ten minutes' walk away, making it more convenient for him to pick up and drop off Gu Jin.
Sheng Qingyang smiled and said, "It's just a small matter."
Several people went to the cafeteria together, and Wei Ran and the other four also came over and sat together.
Sheng Qingyang asked Zhang Chunhua to get some food to eat together, and then bought a steamed bun for everyone.
"It would be delicious to add fermented bean curd and chili peppers to steamed buns," he said with a smile.
Song Chu took out two glass bottles, unscrewed them, picked out some with an empty bowl and put them on the table, "Mm, it's delicious with steamed buns."
She looked at them and said, "This is the fermented bean curd and chili oil that I asked someone to make. You can try it and if it's okay, use it for production in the food factory."
A few people had heard from Wei Ran before that Song Chu had specially hired someone to make fermented bean curd and chili oil in advance for the food factory.
"Okay, let's all try it." Several people nodded with a smile.
No one ate the dishes first, but instead took a steamed bun and ate it with fermented bean curd and chili oil.
Sheng Qingyang took a bite of the one with oily fermented bean curd first, and then his eyes lit up, "Delicious."
It was much more delicious than the fermented bean curd he had eaten before, not only because of the oil, but also because it tasted much more authentic and had just the right amount of saltiness.
He couldn't eat spicy food very well, so in order to taste it, he picked up some chili oil and took a bite of the steamed bun.
"Well, this is delicious too, but it's a bit spicy." After swallowing it, he immediately took a few more bites of the steamed bun.
Even though he doesn't really eat chili peppers, he thinks it tastes very strong. You can imagine how people who eat chili peppers will like it.
Sure enough, Wei Ran and his friends all liked spicy oil more, as they all could eat spicy food.
"It's delicious. This is the most delicious chili oil I have ever eaten." Ding Peng praised it while eating.
I originally thought that no matter how delicious fermented bean curd and chili oil were, there was no way I could eat them.
But who would have thought that there was no comparison at all, one was as far apart as heaven and earth.
Zhou Xiaoping likes to eat fermented bean curd with oil. "It must be delicious when eaten with rice porridge. I think the taste alone is amazing and it will definitely sell well. If it were me, I would definitely buy it."
Her family often puts fermented bean curd and pickles in porridge, but it is far inferior to today's fermented bean curd with oil.
"Director Song knows some very capable people. This flavor will definitely be popular once it's processed." Shen An said as he put a piece of fermented bean curd on the steamed bun.
Even the more serious Hong Jianjun nodded and said, "It's delicious. I think it's totally fine to use this formula to produce it."
Song Chu has always believed in Lao Zhao's cooking skills. Now that he has tasted it himself, he finds that it is even better than he imagined.
"Have we decided on fermented bean curd and chili sauce? Launch them as the main products first. Ordinary fermented bean curd and chili sauce can be processed and produced together, and the taste will not be much different." She said to the few people.
Sheng Qingyang nodded: "It's settled."
