That night, there was a new dish on the Cheng family’s dinner table - Ms. Jia Chunhua’s secret recipe of pork head.
At first no one cared, and everyone thought that Cheng Biaozi bought it from a state-owned restaurant.
After retiring, Manager Cheng liked to drink a few sips of wine with every meal. He just took a sip of wine, the spicy taste went down his throat, it was really refreshing, and then he picked up a piece of chopped pork head with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
Um? Oh my god, this taste is amazing!
I picked up another piece of meat with chopsticks and tasted it carefully. The meat was soft and chewy, with a moderate salty taste. The strong meat aroma combined with the aroma of the seasoning made the meat flavor stronger and without the fishy smell. It was simply delicious!
"Has the state-owned restaurant changed its chef? The previous Mr. Zhou didn't have such good cooking skills." Old Director Cheng likes to eat some side dishes like pork head, and he is very familiar with the skills of these chefs.
Cheng Biaozi chuckled and said, "How can a state-owned restaurant make this kind of food? This was made by Chu Minghai's mother-in-law. I went to give his child a full-month gift today. This is a return gift from her!"
When Gangzi’s grandmother heard this, she became excited. It turned out that it was made by an old sister of the same age. Her desire to win also came up. She took a bite as well. Well, you know what, it tasted really good!
"This old sister has good cooking skills. I'll go ask her for advice some other day." Grandma Gangzi likes to study food. She is excited to see the prey and has become interested in Ms. Jia Chunhua.
In her mind, anyone who can cook delicious food can’t be a bad person.
As soon as Cheng Biaozi saw his mother, he knew what she was thinking and ate a bite of food helplessly.
Old Manager Cheng was not as happy as before. "This dish belongs to Chu Minghai. How could you take such a good thing from someone else? It's not easy to eat meat these days. Did you do something bad to steal it?"
"Dad, who do you think I am? We have a cooperation, so don't interfere." Cheng Biaozi was unhappy. Couldn't his dad think well of him?
At this time, Cheng Biaozi's second brother Cheng Hu happened to have returned home. He was the secretary of the county party committee and was very busy at work.
Gangzi's grandmother hurried to the kitchen and got a set of bowls and chopsticks.
Cheng Hu also heard what his father said just now, so he had to explain for his brother: "Dad, Biaozi has been doing a good job recently. He and Chu Minghai have some cooperation. I know about this."
"That's right." Cheng Biaozi quickly followed suit, "Today is Chu Minghai's daughter's full moon. I gave him a gift, and Gangzi also gave him one. That's why he gave me a heavier gift in return."
Old Director Cheng looked around at his two sons suspiciously, wondering what these two brats were up to lately. They always whispered to each other recently.
Cheng Biaozi buried his head in his food and did not tell his father about the forest farm. In addition to Chu Minghai and Xu Hongqiang, he also asked his second brother for help.
His father always said that he was not doing his job properly and was not as good as his two older brothers, so he wanted to do something to show his father.
——
The next day, Chu Minghai got up very early.
Before his wife and daughter woke up, he had already washed up and was ready to return to the forest farm.
He kissed his wife and daughter on the forehead, put on his coat and left.
It's not that he favors girls over boys. It's mainly because Lin Zheng and Lin Feng sleep on the big kang in the west room with Jia Chunhua and her husband, and it's not convenient for him to go in.
It was not yet fully light and the moon was still hanging in the sky. Chu Minghai stepped on the snow, making a crunching sound. The road was not easy to walk on, but his heart was determined.
It took him more than an hour to reach the forest farm. When he reached the gate, there were already a few workers rushing to work early.
Chu Minghai followed behind and could still hear their conversation.
"Hey, have you heard? Today, a senior leader from the province is coming to inspect our Jiachun. It's almost the New Year, so why don't the leaders take a break?"
"You don't understand. The more it's a New Year or a holiday, the more we have to come. Jiachun is doing well, and now is the time to test the results. If the leaders are happy, they will naturally give us good policies next year."
