Chapter 112 Helping in the Kitchen
Wang Shunming, Zhao Yi and Li Baoguo walked into the main room together.
Zhao Yi came to the fireplace and started cooking. Soon he had prepared three side dishes.
Wang Shunming opened the wine bottle and poured a glass for each person. Then he picked up a peanut and put it in his mouth.
"It's been so long since I had a good drink with you, brother. You have to finish this drink today."
Wang Shunming smiled.
"I must drink with Brother Wang."
Zhao Yi and Li Baoguo responded quickly.
Although neither of them can drink much, a bottle of wine only weighs one kilogram, so a little over three ounces per person is enough for them to handle.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, the three of them started talking.
"Brother Wang, I heard that the logistics department of the food factory collects eggs from the countryside. Is this true?"
Zhao Yi looked at Wang Shunming and said.
Wang Shunming is a custodian at the food factory and should be clear about these things.
"This is true, but it was not publicized. You know if the food factory publicized it, who would send eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative? Six cents an egg is equivalent to raising prices in disguise, which would increase the cost of buying eggs for workers. That's why it was not publicized.
But if you want to do this, that's fine. I can help you put in a few words with the logistics department. ”
When Wang Shunming heard what Zhao Yi said, he immediately nodded and explained.
Zhao Yi turned and looked at his cousin Li Baoguo.
Li Baoguo immediately understood what Zhao Yi meant.
"Brother Wang, my cousin can't do this. He doesn't have that much energy to do it. In fact, he asked for me."
Li Baoguo raised his glass and looked at Wang Shunming and said.
"That's fine. You two are brothers anyway. It doesn't matter who does it. As long as you deliver the eggs, it'll be fine."
Wang Shunming and Li Baoguo clinked their glasses and then took a sip before saying.
Li Baoguo was very happy at this time. This way, his father would have something to do in the village. He could deliver hundreds of eggs at a time and earn a few dollars after deducting the round-trip fare.
Adding my own salary, it won’t take long to pay off my cousin Zhao Yi’s debt.
Originally, he came here to pay back some of his salary after receiving it, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing. His cousin has really tried his best to make his family live a good life. Li Baoguo doesn't know how to repay this kindness.
"I will talk about this tomorrow, and you should make arrangements as soon as possible."
After drinking, the three of them discussed the matter in detail. Wang Shunming patted his chest and promised to help go to the logistics department to discuss the matter tomorrow.
Zhao Yi and Li Baoguo saw Wang Shunming off.
The two returned to Zhao Yi's home.
"Xiao Yi, I was going to pay you back ten dollars first, but you see this happened so suddenly, I want to take this money back to my dad as capital, and try to make up the money I owe you as soon as possible."
Li Baoguo looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"There's no rush for this. You should just live your life well first. The connection has already been made for you, but you also have to understand that some people won't help you for no reason.
No matter how valuable the gift is, just move around if you can. ”
Zhao Yi reminded.
"Don't worry, I understand these things."
Li Baoguo nodded.
When he came to Zhao Yi's house, he bought a bottle of wine and went to Zheng Bo's house, leaving some money for himself and preparing to give the rest to Zhao Yi.
"Why didn't you see Xiao Jing?"
Li Baoguo then realized that he had been at Zhao Yi's house for quite some time and had not seen Zhang Jing.
"She went to help Li Fang warm up the house. She will probably be back soon."
While the two were talking, Li Fang had already walked into Zhao Yi's house holding Zhang Jing's arm.
"I've sent the person back to you, Brother Yi. I'll go back first."
After Li Fang finished speaking, she disappeared in a flash.
"Then cousin, I will go back first, and ask for leave to go back to the village tomorrow."
Li Baoguo also tendered his resignation.
Zhao Yi saw Li Baoguo out the door, and Zhang Jing cleaned up the mess left behind by the three men.
"Who else is in charge besides my cousin? How come all the wine is gone?"
Zhang Jing said as she looked at the empty wine bottle on the table.
"Master Wang Shunming came to me specially to have a drink. My cousin got his salary and wanted to pay his debt. After meeting Master Wang, we discussed the egg collection. I plan to go back to the village tomorrow to talk to my uncle and his family about it."
Zhao Yi smiled.
“That’s a good thing.”
Zhang Jing nodded.
After they finished cleaning up, Zhang Jing continued to make the fake collar she got from the department store, while Zhao Yi boiled some water to prepare for washing.
"By the way, my second brother sent you a jar of honey, saying that he would boil eggs for you to eat."
Zhao Yi said as he recalled the honey he received when he went to Zhangjia Village today.
"I must have been stung again and turned into a pig head, too embarrassed to see people."
Zhang Jing covered her mouth and smiled.
Zhao Yi thought about it and realized that he really hadn't seen his second brother today. Thinking about it carefully, without any protective measures, getting honey would just be asking for stings.
After preparing the hot water, Zhao Yi looked at the dying fish in the basin and found that it was still alive. It seemed that it could wait until tomorrow before Li Fang's family's business.
early morning.
Zhao Yi came to the repair shop. When he opened the door, he saw three radios that had been delivered to the repair cabinet. He started today's work without saying much.
The salary increased by ten yuan, but there was not much more work. Nowadays, most counties no longer send radios to the region.
Most of these were sent from neighboring areas.
It was unknown how much time had passed before the three radios were repaired. Zhao Yi looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that only more than two hours had passed.
Put the repaired radio away and take the newspaper.
I had just rested for two minutes when I was called to go to Park Hutong for maintenance.
The people who went out to repair the radio were the elderly at home with limited mobility, and their family members were worried about taking the radio out. Zhao Yi also had to go to work and had no time to help with the repairs, so they could only go to the finance window of the department store to pay and tell the address clearly, and Zhao Yi would go over to repair it when he was free.
Zhao Yi placed the repair kit in the bicycle basket, locked the door, and rode his bicycle towards Park Hutong.
I went there according to the address given by the Finance Department.
There are only a few such things in a month.
It was almost time to get off work when Zhao Yi finished repairing the radio for the old lady in the alley. He rode his bicycle quickly back to the repair shop, put away the repair bag, and then went home, took the fish and rushed to the garment factory staff building.
Li Dequan always heard Peng Yiju and Li Fang say that Zhao Yi is a good cook, so today when entertaining Wang Jianguo's family, Li Dequan asked Zhao Yi to help with the cooking.
The parents of both sides met to get to know each other and discuss the marriage.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the family building, the workers were just going home after get off work.
Seeing the big fish in Zhao Yi's bicycle basket, they all looked over here frequently.
The small kitchen in the corridor was ready, waiting for Zhao Yi to come and start cooking. The vegetables prepared by Li Dequan and Wu Lan had already been washed and cut.
Seeing that Zhao Yi was still holding a fish in his hand, Li Dequan and Wu Lan felt grateful again. Zhao Yi was doing this to help them save face.
Just started cooking here.
Wang Jianguo brought his parents here.
