Chapter 63 First-class Worker (Seeking to Read)
After becoming a regular employee, Du Shaojie became a first-class worker with a basic salary of 28 yuan per month. Then with allowances and subsidies, the total is 30.88 yuan, 11 yuan more than when he was an apprentice.
This is a big happy event for the family. The family of four depends on his salary to survive. With this extra money, life will be easier.
"Alas, it's all my fault that I'm useless. Fortunately, I have you."
Wang Yuxiu shed tears while talking, but she was very happy in her heart.
This family has made obvious progress since this year. Her son is capable, and her face is also bright.
"It's fine, why are you crying? Don't cry, our family's life will definitely get better and better in the future."
Du Shaojie quickly comforted his mother. He was not used to such a scene and felt a little blocked in his heart.
"Well, don't cry, I'm happy."
Wang Yuxiu wiped her tears and then laughed.
After the two sisters finished washing the dishes, Du Shaojie was pestered by them and insisted on listening to stories.
So he racked his brains and thought of a very popular story, "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes". Nowadays, there is almost no entertainment life. It is better in the city, but in the corners of the farm, there is nothing to do after dark.
Privately, people will pass on some stories by word of mouth, including "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" and "Room 303".
The plots of these stories are fascinating and ups and downs, and at the same time, they do not involve sensitive issues. Instead, they have become a pastime for people after dinner.
He just told an introduction when he heard someone outside shouting: "Master Du, are you home?"
Du Shaojie ran to open the door and saw that it turned out to be Qin Xiaomei, Chu Xiaowei and Wang Liwen.
They heard that Du Shaojie's family had come to the farm, so they made an appointment to come and see Wang Yuxiu.
After the three of them entered the house and sat down, Qin Xiaomei, Wang Liwen and Wang Yuxiu started chatting, and Chu Xiaowei and Du Shaojie chatted casually, which made Xiaomei and Xiaoya very anxious.
But they were all very sensible and would not urge their brother in front of the guests. They just seemed a little restless.
"Master Du, did we come at the wrong time?"
Wang Liwen noticed the strangeness of the two little girls and asked.
"What are you talking about? I welcome you whenever you come. I was just telling a story to my two sisters, but you are here and they are waiting to hear the rest."
Du Shaojie glared at Xiaomei and Xiaoya, and then hurriedly explained.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya smiled embarrassedly and no longer wanted to hear the story.
"What story? Go on and let us listen too."
Qin Xiaomei immediately became interested and urged Du Shaojie to continue.
Wang Liwen and Chu Xiaowei also echoed on the side. Du Shaojie sorted out his thoughts and continued to tell the story.
This story originated from a novel written by a writer in 1958, "Behind the Vast Night", which reflects the struggle against "enemy spies" during the newly established period of the country. Although it has not been published publicly, its handwritten copies have been circulated in many places.
Later, it was passed on by word of mouth among the people and renamed "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes".
The book was published publicly in 1979 and was put on the big screen in 1980 (title: Foggy City), which was a huge success.
Therefore, although Du Shaojie only talked about the beginning, he had already captured everyone's heart.
Time passed by, and no one felt sleepy. But Du Shaojie couldn't stand it anymore, so he said, "Let's stop here today, and continue tomorrow if we have time."
Chu Xiaowei and his wife, and Wang Liwen realized that it was already very late, so they got up and said goodbye with reluctance.
Xiaomei and Xiaoya were fascinated by the story before, but now they were very scared and insisted on sleeping with Wang Yuxiu. Wang Yuxiu had to agree to her two daughters, and then the mother and daughter hurried to wash up.
Du Shaojie went into the room and lay on the bed, and opened the light curtain.
[Bound Chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: First-class Worker]
[Current work: Beef stew] [Overall evaluation: medium to low]
[Current work: Mapo tofu] [Overall evaluation: medium to low]
[Bonus: Food identification encyclopedia (six) (seven)]
[Rewards: Hairtail (3 kg), bacon (3 kg), simulation training time (60 hours)]
[Special reward: none]
As expected, [Beef stew] and [Mapo tofu] both received a "medium to low" overall evaluation.
Du Shaojie has long been familiar with the simulation training. His experience and muscle memory can be brought into reality, and there is almost no chance of failure in making these two dishes.
[Duration: 160 hours\330 hours]
There are still 160 hours left in the simulation training. He plans to work hard recently and strive to complete the next stage of achievement.
As long as 10 dishes receive a comprehensive evaluation of "medium to low" or above, a special reward will be triggered. At that time, the [Simulation Training (Intermediate)] function will be enabled, and there will be on-site guidance from a top chef during training.
At present, 8 dishes have received a "medium to low" overall evaluation.
They are: [Spicy and Sour Potato Shreds], [Big Plate Chicken], [Braised Pork], [Kung Pao Chicken], [Mapo Tofu], [Shredded Potato (Apple)], [Dry-fried Carp], [Beef Stew].
Next, find an opportunity to complete the last two dishes, and you'll be done.
The next day.
Du Shaojie was busy all morning, and after cooking the dishes, he made some steamed buns and returned to his residence.
Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei had already prepared the ingredients and small condiments, and he could start eating as soon as he came back.
There were only three dishes for lunch, braised eggplant, stir-fried green bamboo shoots, and stir-fried bacon with green peppers. The bacon was placed in the kitchen by Du Shaojie, and he only took out a small part of the 3 kilograms of bacon, and he would talk about it after eating.
"It's time to eat."
Du Shaojie quickly finished the three dishes, and then the family sat together and started lunch.
Halfway through the meal, he heard someone knocking on the door.
He went out and saw that Chu Xiaowei and his wife, as well as Wang Liwen, had come again.
"Are you still eating? Master Du, you guys eat first, we'll sit in the yard
for a while." Chu Xiaowei laughed. They wanted to listen to Du Shaojie continue to tell "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" during the lunch break.
Du Shaojie didn't care about them. After returning to the house, he finished his meal in two or three bites, and then boiled a pot of brick tea and brought it to the yard. It's a little cool in the morning and evening, but it's still very hot at noon. It's actually very comfortable to sit in the yard.
There is a stone table and stools under the grape trellis. Du Shaojie chatted with them for a while. Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei cleaned up the mess and brought Xiaoya over.
Du Shaojie was a little amused. If it weren't for his two sisters yesterday, he wouldn't have told any stories.
Now, even Chu Xiaowei, Qin Xiaomei and Dr. Wang are fascinated by it. Even if he wants to be lazy, he can't do it.
"Then let's continue with what we told last night."
Du Shaojie didn't perfunctorily tell the story, but told it with emotion.
The courtyard door was open, and everyone was listening attentively. No one noticed that Zhao Dajun walked in quietly.
Zhao Dajun had actually been here for quite a while. He heard Du Shaojie telling a story outside the door. He listened quietly for a while, and unexpectedly, he was also deeply attracted by the plot.
When it was almost time for work in the afternoon, Du Shaojie stopped talking: "Let's stop here first, and continue in the evening."
Chu Xiaowei sighed with a little regret, stood up and looked up, and saw Zhao Dajun standing not far away.
"Director, when did you come?"
