Chapter 127 Mingche Treats Meal
Fang Mingche asked Zheng Xing further and found out that everyone in the dormitory had gone to the counselor with the people from the two dormitories next door for this matter.
Everyone looked down on such a person who pretended to be someone else and mixed into the ranks of college students. They wanted him and the student who was originally admitted to have their own fate.
As for Zheng Xing, he had just returned from taking a bath in the bathhouse with a basin. As soon as he walked to the dormitory building, he saw a group of people coming downstairs together, and then he heard a few words.
The boys went to three dormitories, that is, all the boys in the class except the two of them went.
Fang Mingche was shocked and said, "English Department, you dare to pretend to be someone else to study without any foundation?"
He felt that his admission notice was sent to his home safely, and there was no chance that some cadre's child would intercept it halfway. It was because the English Department couldn't pretend to be someone else. No matter how capable you are, without any foundation, you can't catch up with someone who could score more than 90 points in the college entrance examination English test in a short time.
He thought about it, and the person Zheng Xing was talking about was usually more "lone ranger" than him. Originally, we were all college students, and we could tolerate each other's idiosyncrasies. If he was just a little withdrawn, that would be fine. Now it seems that he was afraid of being exposed.
Zheng Xing said, "That's right. You pretended to be someone else's major, politics, history, Chinese, mathematics, etc., so at least you wouldn't be exposed so quickly. I heard that people in their dormitory had been suspicious of him for a long time. How could this kind of thing not be exposed?"
Fang Mingche thought for a while and said, "Maybe the admission letters for people who were admitted to other majors and had no background in their place were gone. It's so difficult to get into college nowadays! Just like that, you took away other people's chances to go to college. Fortunately, it's our department, because other departments really wouldn't be exposed so quickly."
Nowadays, universities have strict admissions and lenient graduations. As long as he can keep pretending, he will be assigned to a good unit in four years, and his life will be stable.
Zheng Xing nodded, obviously feeling sympathetic. He also muttered, "It's a disgrace to the children of cadres. This is also the scum among the children of cadres! Really, in February this year, many children of cadres went to the front line in southern Xinjiang, and even shed blood in southern Xinjiang." Zheng Xing became a little excited when he said the last part.
Fang Mingche nodded, "I know about this."
Today, these old generals are all soldiers of Chairman Mao. Inspired by his deeds of sending his eldest son to the front line of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, many of them indeed sent their sons of the right age to serve in the army.
For example, Commander Liu Bin of Baoshan District, Yunnan, sacrificed his eldest son (Liu Guang) to take his second son, and his second son (Liu Ming) to take his son-in-law. Such deeds are still very touching!
Zheng Xing nodded vigorously after listening to what Fang Mingche said.
Fang Mingche said, "Don't worry, the people still have a scale in their hearts to judge right from wrong."
It is lunchtime now, and there are classes in the first and second periods in the afternoon. Fang Mingche closed his eyes and rested for a while on the chair, then picked up his book.
"How about we go and take a seat?"
Fang Mingche was not supposed to be there today, and the time slots allocated to him were relatively convenient. Knowing that his family has three people, the current situation is special.
From the head of the department Cheng Guangzhi down, everyone basically takes care of Fang Mingche. If there is a dormitory inspection, they will do everything possible to help him cover it up. So when Fang Mingche comes, he will take the initiative to clean the public areas of the dormitory. He is planning to invite everyone in the dormitory to his home for a meal one day. By the way, he will invite everyone to visit Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Tickets are very cheap nowadays compared to later times! He is considering whether to go this Sunday or next Sunday.
He talked about it with Zheng Xing on the way to the classroom. Zheng Xing said happily: "How about this Sunday. There is an elder's birthday celebration in my family next Sunday, and I can't leave."
He didn't like collective life at first, and was criticized by the old man at home. The old man said that if he didn't like collective life when he was a soldier, would he have left the team and become a deserter? So Zheng Xing could only try to get used to getting along with everyone.
Fortunately, he wore earplugs, and his sleep condition has been greatly improved. Some other minor details can be overcome. He gets along well with everyone. Everyone thinks that although he is young and has a good family background, he has some problems of a young master. But he is indeed not arrogant!
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to Lao Cheng and the others later."
It seems that the old man in Wang Dexian's family is about to celebrate his birthday. I heard his mother mention it to others before.
Zheng Xing said, "It's not easy for Lao Cheng and the others who are from other places to stay in the dormitory every Sunday. They must miss their families very much." And in order to save money, they didn't dare to go out to play.
Fang Mingche thought about it. Others didn't talk about it much, but Lao Cheng often said that he missed his little girl. Of course, Chinese people are more reserved. He wouldn't say it even if he missed his wife.
Fang Mingche touched his chin. Lao Cheng seemed to have said that his wife was very fierce. But fierce wives also have their good points! If he was really fierce all the time, or was also fierce to Lao Cheng, would he have married his wife as soon as he went to the countryside, and had two children for so many years?
The two had just arrived in the classroom, and the other six roommates and people from the other two dormitories also arrived. The only person who scored more than ten points in the exam was not seen! They should have come directly from the office.
Fang Mingche hurriedly asked, "Old Cheng, what's the result?"
He was still chatting with Zheng Xing on the way, asking why that person didn't pretend to be sick to avoid the exam or something like that?
I heard that he had originally planned to do that. His roommates revealed that he was not sick, and that he had forged a sick leave certificate.
(Even the fact that the other party tried to bribe the doctor but failed was revealed.)
Cheng Guangzhi said, "The counselor took the three of us roommates to meet the leader and asked the other students to wait outside. The security department is now involved in the investigation. Let's wait for the results later."
Nowadays, larger units have security departments, and they have great power. They are basically retired lower-level officers in charge, and they can even carry guns when necessary.
In other words, it has not yet been handed over to the public security organs for investigation.
But if a professional officer wants to investigate you, he will find out the truth. With certain evidence, he will report the case to the police.
Fang Mingche nodded, "Then there should be a fair solution."
The security department has been involved, and this matter is ready to be investigated thoroughly.
The other female classmates obviously knew about this and came to ask.
Then he said, "Sooner or later, this fake guy will be exposed."
"The real Qi Zheng should have a chance to study with us, right?"
Everyone was talking about it, and they all had a sense of justice. College students, the pride of heaven, have a strong sense of responsibility! Naturally, they are extremely dissatisfied with those who sneak into their team.
Fang Mingche opened the book. It was not easy to pretend to be a student of the English department. But it was not that difficult for students of other majors. According to the reports he had read in his previous life, some people found out that their good life was snatched away by others thirty years later. Would paying compensation to others at that time help them get back the life that should have been theirs?
By then, the impostors would often be very successful in the system, while the impostors would have to work many times harder outside the system to live the same life.
After class, Fang Mingche told his roommates about inviting everyone to his home for dinner on Sunday and visiting the Forbidden City.
The four people from other places readily agreed. The two locals other than Zheng Xing also said that they would go together at that time. The matter was settled.
Fang Mingche thought about it and invited the two older sisters to go with them, and asked them to bring companions. This way it would not seem abrupt. It would be classmates going to his home for dinner together. Then he would invite Gu Zhiguang and Gao Xiang, his two college neighbors, to come along.
Gu Zhiguang had found a job and was working in the library of his alma mater. He also taught a public course for freshmen.
So, it is relative to say that it is difficult to find a job nowadays. It is not difficult for a highly educated person like him to find a job.
He arranged it without leaving any trace and did not care about the rest. At that time, those who have cars can ride their cars and bring someone with them. Those who don’t have cars can see if they can borrow one, and if not, they can just hitchhike.
Fang Mingche returned home and told Lin Yan about the dinner and the fact that a classmate was found to have impersonated someone to go to college.
Lin Yan was shocked, "I've only heard of it, but it has never happened around me."
She is from the capital, so it is impossible for someone to impersonate her. They are all relatively remote places, and no one knew this person. This is possible!
Fang Mingche said: "The possibility of someone impersonating someone who majors in English is actually the lowest. For a subject that has never been studied, it is really unlikely to impersonate someone who scored above 90 points!"
Lin Yan said: "I am going to weigh some wool yarn and knit wool sweaters for you and Yanyan."
It is November now, and it is almost time to wear them.
The most popular thing now is to wear red sweaters, so she plans to buy red yarn.
Fang Mingche said: "Let's buy black." Black is really versatile! Bright red is more suitable for special occasions such as the National Day singing competition.
Lin Yan said, "You want black, right? But Yanyan is a girl."
Yanyan, who was playing with building blocks at the side, immediately said, "I want to wear the same thing as dad."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Let's just wear black, father-daughter outfit. If you like red, you can buy one for yourself."
Lin Yan thought for a while, "Then I'll get a black one too. When I was a kid, my mother bought things that could be worn by both men and women. This way, I can wear it, and Lin Yi can also wear it. I think I can wear black too."
Since both father and son want black, she will buy black. Weigh three pounds of thread, and if there is any extra, we can knit a woolen long skirt for Yanyan.
Okay, let's do it! When she grows up and can't wear it anymore, we can tear it apart and knit it into a sweater.
As for the one in her belly, we'll wait until he can wear sweaters. In the future, it shouldn't always be the case that the older one wears the younger one. We can give both of them new clothes.
Fang Mingche said, "I'll go tell the Gu family father and son, in case Gu Zhiguang isn't here."
When he went over to tell them, Grandpa Gu readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll ask him to come over when the time comes."
Just at this moment, someone called from the public phone outside, "Fang Mingche, answer the phone..."
Fang Mingche ran out to answer it. It was his cousin calling.
His cousin's scrap business and vegetable business were also gradually getting on track. In any case, this was a stable income. It was definitely better than living off his savings.
"Mingche, I'm going back to my hometown. When you're free, come and help me keep an eye on the scrap yard business."
He definitely couldn't just trust the hired person with all his heart.
"Okay! Is your video parlor going to open?"
"The color TV, VCR, and the first batch of videotapes are on the way. I'll listen to you and only import TVB and Rediffusion videotapes."
Fang Mingche said, "Yes, you have to be careful everywhere. Otherwise, people who want to steal your business will accuse you of corrupting teenagers with violent and obscene videotapes, and your reputation will be hard to wash away. Oh, by the way, don't take Shaw Brothers' erotic films. Although they are fake, our screens are so clean now. Ordinary people can't stand that stimulation."
Now the movies in the mainland are really clean. The "first screen kiss" in the upcoming "Lush Mountain Love" is actually the heroine kissing the hero on the cheek. Just this, it even caused a sensation across the country. Shaw Brothers' erotic films are also Category III films!
Fang Mingfeng said, "You even know about Shaw Brothers' erotic films. Okay, I don't dare to risk the world's disapproval for this matter. TVB and ATV's feature films should be attractive enough."
"When are you leaving? Do I need to see you off?"
"No, no. How can you be free? I have no one to entrust my work to, so I can only entrust it to you. Do you have anything to bring back home?"
Fang Mingche thought for a while, "Please bring me 50 yuan back. 40 yuan for my dad, 10 yuan for my mom's pocket money."
Bringing anything is more practical than bringing money.
"Okay."
Fang Mingfeng felt that his cousin's low profile was actually very good. In this way, no one would think of looking for his family and borrowing money from him when something happened. Brothers and sisters would not think of relying on him.
However, others don't know that his cousin makes money by setting up a tea stall and now running a scrap yard, but they know that he makes money as a long-distance train driver. That's why his family and his wife's family came to him in the past few years. As a result, when he got into trouble, only Mingche could help him.
It felt like Mingche was much more experienced than himself in handling things! This time when he went back, he shouldn't mention the fact that he was working as a vegetable vendor to make money while working at the scrap yard. It
still didn't work, he went back to open a video hall. He still couldn't hide it!
The school security department quickly responded: It was indeed an impostor! This person will be sent back to his hometown to be punished, and the real Qi Zheng will be found. Further investigations will be conducted throughout the school.
Fang Mingche and Cheng Guangzhi looked at each other. They both have rich life experience. This time he has returned to his hometown, and this person's family is likely to have people with connections. The punishment he will receive will be limited. However, it's a good thing that he can be found out.
Old Cheng said, "This kind of thing should be strictly investigated by all universities."
Fang Mingche thought about the strictness of Yanyan's college entrance examination, "Society will become more and more advanced. No one will be able to impersonate others as easily as it is now."
On Saturday, Fang Mingche rode his famous bike with a child seat, "I'll go back and prepare first. Everyone come early tomorrow."
"Don't worry, don't worry, we will definitely be active in this matter."
With so many people, and also taking the opportunity to let the two big sisters and Gu Zhiguang have a blind date, Fang Mingche finally decided to purchase from Lao Cui and hire Lao Cui's two apprentices to come to the house to hold a barbecue party. It will be held in the small side courtyard.
The courtyard of the small side courtyard is more than 30 square meters in total, which is enough for more than a dozen people to do it themselves.
Everyone can apply the seasoning by themselves, or ask Lao Cui's two apprentices to apply it. For more than a dozen people, he bought a few pounds of various meats and vegetables and used his own. It shouldn't cost much. After eating, he invited everyone to visit the Forbidden City. Tickets are really not expensive nowadays.
Well, to be on the safe side, he would fill the water tanks of both families with water in advance and prepare a few more buckets. When he got home, Fang Mingche started to fetch water. He fetched his own water first and told Gu Zhiguang.
Gu Zhiguang was not good at working, but he could still carry two large buckets. After all, he was a grown man!
"Oh, I'll fill it up now. And fill up all the water containers."
Fang Mingche looked at him, "Go get a haircut tomorrow morning and let the master clean your face. Then change into new clothes later."
Grandpa Gu said on the side, "That's right, what Xiao Fang said makes sense."
While fetching water, he told Teacher Gao again. Teacher Gao agreed, "I will definitely not refuse such a thing."
Fang Mingche introduced him to take over the accounting work of his cousin. He just took the accountant qualification certificate exam this year, and it has only been less than two years since the exam was resumed. Waiting for the results!
In the evening, Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan drove back in a tractor borrowed from the next village. Because, with the increase in the number of downstream customers, two tricycles are usually needed to bring back vegetables and eggs. Tomorrow, Fang Mingche will entertain more than a dozen classmates, so it will not be enough. Today, the amount of goods received has been increased to meet the needs.
Zhu Dahai has never had such a good business. His vegetable business is one step behind Lin Yan, and now it does not even reach half of her volume. At this moment, he was envious as he watched the tractor covered with tarpaulin driving into the small side yard.
Uncle Gu looked at the side door opened by Fang Mingche, "Is this tractor also yours?"
"No, I borrowed it from the next village. The villagers in their village are also supplying my family."
A tractor costs nearly three thousand. His total net worth is less than five thousand now, how can he be willing to spend this money? Moreover, it is not very practical.
If it were in his hometown, driving a tractor to the town or county would also be a good means of transportation. But driving a tractor in the capital is not the same.
Fang Mingche said to Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Liu Qingfeng smiled, "Teacher Fang, it would be convenient if we had a tractor."
"Give up, I won't buy a tractor." He still thought that the current wealth accumulation was too slow and it was difficult to use his hands and feet. How could he spend 3,000 to buy a tractor that was not very practical?
Alas, starting from scratch is really too difficult! What he wants to do now is not enough to add another zero to the existing assets. Moreover, the most important thing is not money. It's a backer!
Just like my cousin, I bought TV tickets to watch TV together before. In fact, I thought of a great way to make money. However, without a strong backer, ordinary people can't keep such a profitable business.
It's okay to just steal business, but if you want to make people look bad, how can ordinary people resist?
Therefore, he only dared to return to the small county town to open a video hall business, and he could only do it in places where he could find a backer.
But the profitable business that Fang Mingche wants to do must be in the capital and in big cities. Alas, it's difficult!
Liu Qingfeng and Geng Shan actually knew that buying a tractor was a luxury, so forget it!
Fang Mingche had become accustomed to giving them big cakes.
He said, "When we have money, we won't buy a tractor. We'll buy a pickup truck that can carry one ton at a time. That way, you won't have to ride a truck when you go to deliver goods."
As he was talking, Mrs. Cui came in with an empty cart to buy vegetables.
"Xiao Fang, the meat is being cut and marinated. Bring it in tomorrow!"
She helped buy a lot of chicken, beef, mutton, pork and various offal today. She bought a lot of mutton especially. In addition to eating mutton skewers tomorrow, she also wants to stew mutton soup.
Fang Mingche nodded, "Okay. Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Cui!"
"It's not a problem. You paid the processing fee." The Cui family really likes guests like Fang Mingche.
As for the barbecue racks, they were simple. Fang Mingche asked someone to make four for him at a nearby iron factory. He just paid for it. It would be enough for tomorrow!
There were more than a dozen male and female classmates, and they also invited counselor Wang Shan. Together with the four college students in their compound, there were about twenty people in total.
He, the landlord, Grandpa Gu, and the aunt in charge of the compound, all reported it. When Aunt Yuan learned that the people coming would be students from Beijing Normal University, she naturally said that there was no problem at all.
The next morning, the apprentices of the Cui family pushed in all kinds of meat in a small cart. After two trips, they brought in large basins, covered with gauze to prevent dust and mosquito bites. There was no need to hide it, just say that Fang Mingche invited his classmates to have a barbecue today.
Everyone couldn't help but drool when they saw so much meat. I'm afraid it must be at least ten pounds!
The two apprentices built a stove with red bricks in the open space of the small side yard, and then put a pot on it! There were nine honeycomb coals burning underneath.
First boil the water, then put four pounds of mutton, mutton offal and mutton bones in to stew. Chop some ginger and throw it in.
Soon it starts to smell good.
Grandpa Gu whispered to Fang Mingche, "We, father and son, will bear a quarter of today's expenses."
They will also come to eat in a while, and both father and son are not very good at working. The key is that today we also arranged a blind date for Zhiguang.
Fang Mingche was not polite, "Okay!"
Teacher Gao and Xiao Xie also came over quickly to help Lin Yan pick vegetables.
With so many people, a lot of vegetables will be blanched in the mutton soup later. After picking one, Xiao Xie took it to the water pressure well to find it.
The two apprentices of the Cui family were stringing the mutton skewers with iron skewers.
"Teacher Fang, you have prepared these barbecue skewers and iron skewers so well. Are you going to sell lamb skewers?"
Fang Mingche smiled, "Your master wants to ask, right? If he wants to buy my iron racks and iron skewers, fine. But I can't sell them to him at the original price or even at a discount. I asked for favors to do this."
Yanyan sat by and watched, staring at the meat with shining eyes.
Oh, and fruits. In addition to vegetables, Lin Yan also asked Sister Wei to help collect a lot of edible fruits yesterday.
Fang Mingche handed Yanyan a washed apple and sent her to the entrance of the alley to watch.
"Go and see if Uncle Cheng, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Zheng have arrived. When they arrive, bring them in."
"Oh." Yanyan took the apple, carried her own small stool and went.
She walked up a few steps and sat under the eaves of the house at the entrance of the alley, looking down from above, so she could see farther.
It is rare to raise a child as white and plump as Yanyan these days, and she is also dressed cleanly and neatly.
The styles of her clothes often follow those of the Overseas Chinese Store and the Friendship Store. The clothes there are too expensive, and Lin Yan is reluctant to spend money to buy them. But she can use her intelligence and come back to do the same. Therefore, Yanyan often wears quite fashionable styles.
Sitting under the eaves of other slums, there are New Year dolls pasted on her head. She sits below, which is not inferior at all.
After a while, Yanyan's apples were almost finished. Eight bicycles came. They were Cheng Guangzhi and his group, both men and women.
"Old Cheng, Little Xu, didn't you go to Fang Mingche's house? Is it here?"
"I only went there once. But this alley looks the same!"
Yanyan stood up and saw them turning into the alley next to them, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Cheng, Uncle Xu, this way-"
Someone in the two cars behind recognized her, "Old Cheng, this way, Yanyan is here-"
The cars in front that went in the wrong direction heard that Fang Mingche's daughter was here, so they turned back.
Soon, Yanyan came with her short legs, leading eight bicycles and more than a dozen people to her small side yard. They entered through the side door. After the tractor drove away from here this morning, Fang Mingche did not close the door.
"Uncles and aunts, come this way."
"Okay, thank you Yanyan."
Fang Mingche washed his hands and was skewering meat with Teacher Gao and an apprentice. Another apprentice went to help cut the vegetables. Lin Yan and Xiao Xie cut the vegetables.
It must be both meat and vegetables to be delicious, otherwise it would be too greasy to eat only meat. Fortunately, Fang Mingche made enough iron skewers.
At this moment, he saw Yanyan welcoming all the guests back and smiled, "Classmates, come on! Wash your hands and do it yourself to have enough food and clothing!"
With so many people, they must do it themselves. Otherwise, when will the skewering end?
Everyone parked their bicycles next to each other and came over to see that Fang Mingche had prepared more than ten pounds of various meats and ten pounds of various vegetables. Everyone saw his sincerity.
"Xiao Fang|Mingche, this is such a generous treat!"
Everyone was so excited. These pickled meats looked delicious!
Even Zheng Xing, who had no shortage of food, liked to act in groups.
Fang Mingche and Lin Yan had previously borrowed stools and tables from various families in the compound, and now they were all placed in the small courtyard.
Old Cheng, Xiao Xu, Zheng Xing and others saw a bucket next to them and asked, "Can we wash our hands in it?"
Fang Mingche said, "Yes, yes. Just wash your hands and come over to skewer the meat and vegetables. Let me introduce you, um, my wife and daughter, some classmates have not seen them. And this one, Gao Xiang, a freshman in the Department of Politics of Capital Normal University this year, next to him is his wife Xiao Xie. This one, Brother Gu Zhiguang, is the last batch of college students before the cancellation of the college entrance examination, from the University of Science and Technology. Next to him is his father, Uncle Gu. The two who are helping with the work are Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang, who I invited from the restaurant."
When he heard that Gao Xiang and Gu Zhiguang were both college students, his classmates also greeted them politely. Especially to Gu Zhiguang.
The value of their knowledge is higher than theirs. It was even harder to get into university back then! They were also very polite to their families.
Only Lao Cheng and a few others who came from the countryside greeted Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang.
Fang Mingche said, "It's troublesome for me to wash my hands now. There are big bowls of tea over there, and the bowls are also stacked there. Whoever is thirsty can help themselves! If you don't want to drink tea, you can eat fruit. They were all picked from the orchard last night."
Grandpa Gu said to Gu Zhiguang, "Xiao Fang and Xiao Lin are busy, you go and help mix the tea for the classmates, especially the female classmates."
Gu Zhiguang was originally grading homework in the room, but was called out by his father to help.
Grandpa Gu looked at the two oldest female classmates, these two, right? They are both very good! It depends on which of them can get along with Zhiguang. The other younger ones should be here to keep each other company. Grandpa
Gu saw that the girls were mainly eating fruits, so he asked his son to help them get a fruit knife.
"It's okay, uncle, we can just wash and eat. Fang Mingche, why did you put so many buckets of water in the yard?"
Fang Mingche said, "It's for fire prevention! Four ovens will be turned on at the same time in a while, and there is a big stove over there stewing mutton soup. I was afraid that something might happen, so I got a few big buckets of water. You will know when you go to the Forbidden City. There are several big water tanks at the door of each hall. It's for fire prevention!"
Everyone worked together, and the action was much faster. The mutton soup was stewed early in the morning, and it was getting more and more fragrant.
Fang Mingche washed his hands, wiped them clean, and made a bowl first. He scooped some of the already stewed meat and intestines, livers and tripes into the soup.
"Xiao Xie, send a bowl back to your mother-in-law so she can eat it."
Xiao Xie stood up, "Thank you."
Fang Mingche said, "Why are you being so polite? Uncle Gu, bring your bowl. You will only be able to taste the barbecue later, so you should drink more mutton soup."
Uncle Gu said, "How about you blanch some vermicelli in it for me? I'll give it to you after I've soaked it. Xiao Xie, how about adding some vermicelli to your mother-in-law's? You can eat it after adding some salt, which is much better than boiled vegetarian vermicelli."
Fang Mingche nodded, "Yes, Xiao Xie, bring yours and add some vermicelli. I missed the vermicelli."
Uncle Gu said happily, "I saw you missed it, so I soaked a lot of it. My classmates will have some later."
There was an older sister named Zhu Wenjuan, who obviously had a good impression of the shy and gentle Gu Zhiguang who wore glasses. She came over and said, "Xiao Fang, leave the scalding of the vermicelli to me. You go and do your own thing! You are the commander-in-chief today."
Fang Mingche looked at the other elder sister, who seemed to have no reaction. It's up to you!
"Okay, then you scald some for my daughter as well."
Yanyan said, "Dad, I want to eat grilled skewers."
"You eat some soup and vermicelli first."
Zhu Wenjuan followed Uncle Gu into the house to get vermicelli and the tools for scalding vermicelli. When the vermicelli was almost scalded, some vegetables were added.
This big bowl was enough for Xiao Xie to take back, and there was still some left over for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Lin Yan said, "Xiao Xie, we need help here. You take it back, scoop out a bowl for your mother-in-law to drink, and come back."
"Okay."
Xiao Xie really wanted to see more of what female college students other than Lin Yan were like from a close distance. Knowing yourself and the enemy will lead to victory in every battle!
The fire for the grilled skewers has been lit, and Zheng Xing and several younger classmates are excited to go over and grill.
Fang Mingche went over to cut the vegetables and gave Xiao Ma to let them control the heat.
"You don't know how to control the heat, wait for Xiao Ma to show you first."
The other students also said, "Yes, yes, yes, don't burn them."
Nowadays, grain is precious, and vegetables and meat are even more precious. We must not let these people play around and waste the ingredients. These people are not very good at working.
Zheng Xing said, "Okay, we got it."
There are four stoves, one for Xiao Ma, and one for Zheng Xing and the other three.
Whatever Xiao Ma brushes, they brush it. When Xiao Ma turns the skewers of meat in his hand, they also turn them over. In short, they just follow the gourd.
Fortunately, the marinating has been completed, and the last thing to brush is oil, honey, etc. Whether it is delicious or not will not be affected.
Yanyan and Grandpa Gu ate together at the stone table, and Zhu Wenjuan took care of them with a smile.
When the first skewers of various meats in Xiao Ma's hand were grilled, Yanyan looked at them eagerly.
Lin Yan said, "Wait for it to cool down before you eat it, or your mouth will blister today."
"Oh."
The taste was really good, all kinds of meat skewers were delicious. It can be said that everyone ate a lot.
As they ate, they all felt that Fang Mingche had prepared a really rich meal! After eating too much meat skewers, they changed to vegetarian skewers and drank mutton soup. Everyone was eating enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was very good.
There were six girls in total, in addition to the two main guests, there were four who came to accompany them. Everyone was mainly chatting with Lin Yan and Xiao Xie, as they were of similar age.
As for Lin Yan, they mainly thanked her and asked her about her feelings about being pregnant. Lin Yan naturally smiled and said that everyone was welcome. My Mingche often comes home, thanks to everyone for taking care of him. As for Xiao Xie, she mainly talked about how delicious her grilled skewers were.
Xiao Xie's cooking skills were good, and she was indeed invited to help today. She was also carefully observing what these female college students were like. Intuitively, Gao Xiang actually liked these female college students more. Fortunately, his ex-girlfriend was just a textile worker with a high school education. Otherwise, it will put more pressure on yourself.
Fang Mingche, Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang said: "I think you can add this skewers business, it should be very good."
The two nodded, they also thought so. But such a skewer is not cheap! Only rich people can afford it.
Yanyan ate a little more and sat on the small chair to lean back. She still had hawthorn slices in her hand, eating them slowly one by one.
Fang Mingche looked at her with amusement, "Even if it tastes good, you can't just eat as you please. As soon as your mother and I turned our backs on you, you secretly went to get another skewer to eat. Wait, it will be ready soon, and we'll go visit the Forbidden City and climb Jingshan Mountain. It will help you digest it, digest it!"
Wang Shan sat next to Yanyan, "Well, it's okay, I'll be fine after a walk."
He said to Fang Mingche, "The person you asked me to inquire for you has found out. He is now burning the boiler in the boiler room of the department. However, he has not been rehabilitated yet, what do you want to ask him for?"
"I want him to teach English."
"There are so many teachers in the department, aren't they enough for you to ask?"
Fang Mingche said, "No, I want him to teach outside."
Wang Shan raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid he can't do it yet. Why, you want to open an English cram school?"
He knew that Fang Mingche had been doing business, so it was not surprising that he had such an idea.
The teachers and students in the school had no time to do this. Then the old man Qiu, who could only burn the boiler because of the fight, was really a good teacher. But, can he go out now?
Fang Mingche said, "Well, let's think of a way."
No, he didn't want to open an English cram school. He had thought about it before. He was transferred to the English department, so it was normal to have this idea. This is the path that Yu Minhong of New Oriental has taken!
However, English is not valued enough at present. Even on December 11, 1981, when China took the first TOEFL test, English was still only valued among the elite. Everyone took the TOEFL in order to study abroad at public expense. It is still
a long way from the point where English is valued crazily and if you don't learn English well, you can't even get a university degree or get into university. Moreover, Fang Mingche still felt a little uncomfortable to snatch other people's opportunities and walk the path that others have walked.
However, Wang Shan mentioned the first batch of government-funded overseas students on the night of the start of school. He remembered the report he read in "Zhiyin" in his previous life, about 52 people and only 50 US dollars in foreign exchange. The country is now in urgent need of foreign exchange!
If he is just a businessman and his family has no overseas connections, he will not be taken seriously. It was only 1979, and there were not many people going into business. They all went to practice business out of necessity! But in another two or three years, there will be more people going into business. The number will increase year by year, more and more!
Later, there were 900 million businessmen out of 1 billion people, and even state cadres took unpaid leave and went into business. With so many people, it is not rare! Unless there is something that cannot be replaced by others.
Fang Mingche thought about it based on his own experience and thought of a career that is very suitable for him now.
However, although he has the right time and place now, he lacks everything. Lack of money, very much! Just as he said, now all his assets, even five thousand cash plus a zero, are not enough.
Lack of people, even more lacking! Now the whole country lacks the kind of people he needs. Because, he wants to open a foreign travel agency.
To open such a travel agency, all treatment must be the best. Foreigners and foreign friends are the best treatment in China. He can't even afford a car now, how can he open a foreign travel agency?
In addition, he lacks English tour guides. Nowadays, people who are more proficient in English either work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or in the English Department of major universities. Who has the energy and willingness to be his tour guide?
But if it is not the case, it will not be difficult to open a foreign travel agency in a few years. It will not be his turn.
Therefore, Fang Mingche felt that he could not cook like a chef, waiting for the fire to be right, the oil pan to splash, and all the seasonings to come before doing it. He was going to create conditions and start it first.
Well, he still lacked a backer. Such a business is very profitable and has political significance. The last time he worked as a translator for the handicraft cooperative was actually something that was not only profitable but also politically significant.
However, he couldn't even keep such a credit. Fortunately, Lao Wang was not the kind of person who didn't care about anything. So this time, he had to find a reliable backer.
But this kind of thing depends on chance. So, he had to gather some English tour guides first.
The person who asked Wang Shan to find out heard the chat of the administrators in the school library. Now, only the gentleman who is still burning the boiler knows English and has free time.
Moreover, even if he implements the policy, he probably won't want to work in the school too much. He is already 50 years old and can retire early. He can directly get 80% of the retirement salary!
