Chapter 33 Delicious
After getting off work at the supply and marketing cooperative, Deng Min returned home with a bright smile on her face.
As soon as I got home, I went into the kitchen, and soon bursts of delicious fragrance wafted out.
"What delicious food did you make at home? Why does it smell so good? It doesn't smell like meat."
The curious neighbor immediately came forward and asked.
"I don't know. I went into the kitchen as soon as I got off work."
Deng Min's mother-in-law shook her head.
Not long after, Deng Min came out with a large bowl of braised loaches and placed it on the dining table.
"This is the loach I told you about that tastes better than braised pork. Now try it."
Deng Min said this and looked at his family.
Everyone thought that Deng Min was just bragging, but they didn't expect that Deng Min really got the loach out. Although everyone was curious, they couldn't help but use their chopsticks to pick up the loach and took a small bite.
It instantly triggers joy and satisfaction deep in one's heart, immediately whets one's appetite and makes one want to have another bite.
Nowadays, supplies are scarce and we eat cabbage, radish and pickled mustard greens almost every day. If we are lucky, we can have fried tofu. We don’t know how long it takes to have meat. Of course, this does not apply to special positions such as state-owned restaurants and factory chefs, who can eat whatever they want.
Such explosive delicacies have a strong impact on people's taste buds. It's not that they don't have money to buy these things, but that there is no place to buy them.
"Try this and see if it tastes as good as the soda I mentioned. This will stop you from saying that I treat my dreams as reality all day long."
Deng Min took a cup for each of her parents-in-law, husband and two children, and each of them received five kilograms of the thirty kilograms of wine.
At the moment, no one was in the mood to care whether the soda tasted good or not. Instead, they were busy with the loaches in their hands. After a short while, four and a half kilograms of loaches were finished by the family, and everyone seemed a little unsatisfied.
Then he looked at the wine in the glass, picked it up, took a sip, and nodded.
"It tastes good, and is just as good as fat meat. By the way, Xiao Min, where did you get this loach? You can't wander around just for a little food, or you might lose your job."
Deng Min's mother-in-law looked at Deng Min and asked.
"Mom, I don't dare wander around. This is a product collected by our supply and marketing cooperative. However, we don't collect much each time, so we don't open it to the public and consume it internally."
Deng Min quickly explained.
There were so many things that happened in the city, and everyone was particularly scared.
"No wonder I never saw it every time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Deng Min's mother-in-law nodded.
"Is it too much? Next time you buy some, ask your man to take some to give to their leaders."
"That's all. This time, we divided it equally among the supply and marketing cooperative. We don't know when the next one will be. We'll have to ask our director."
Deng Min said quickly.
After the director issued the invoice, the money was collected through public accounts, so the supply and marketing cooperative was in compliance with the rules. As for whether Zhao Yi's case was in compliance with the rules, the supply and marketing cooperative didn't know. After all, there was no explicit regulation that the supply and marketing cooperative could not accept these things. If the investigation turns out, the worst that could happen is that they would not even accept eggs from their members' homes in the future.
She definitely wouldn't dare to go shopping with Zhao Yi alone because she was afraid.
It's not just Deng Min's family, it's the same in everyone else's family as well.
After Zhao Yi got the money from the supply and marketing cooperative, he went to the black market to exchange for a lot of bills. He went to the supply and marketing cooperative and went on a shopping spree, spending almost all the money he earned this time.
After returning home, Zhao Yi put the backpack in the main room, took out a gift from inside and rushed to Li Dequan's house.
When he pushed open the gate, he saw Li Dequan lying leisurely in the middle of the yard, smoking welding fumes. When he saw Zhao Yi come in, he sat up and pointed at the bench next to him.
"Xiao Yi has told you many times not to be so polite, why don't you listen to my advice?"
Wu Lan's eyes widened as she looked at the thing Zhao Yi handed over. It was bulging and it was obvious that there was a lot of it. She took the thing, opened it gently, and was slightly surprised.
"It's my duty. Thank you for the captain's tolerance and care for me. I only work 26 days a month. If I were in another brigade, I would probably be criticized every day."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"Then you have to be more diligent, and work more in the future."
Li Dequan immediately took over the conversation.
"Of course, of course. I'll go back first if the captain is fine."
After saying this, Zhao Yi left Li De's family without paying any attention to Wu Lan's attempts to keep him.
"What evidence do you have on the boss's kid? There's half a pound of brown sugar, two bottles of good wine, a bag of malted milk, and some cakes."
Wu Lan looked at Li Dequan and asked.
"What are you thinking about all day? He wants to ask me if I can help him get a place in the coal mine cafeteria. You know so many people want to go. I'm just a team leader. How can I have such great power?"
Li Dequan waved his hand.
"If you can't get it, just return it to the owner, so as to avoid giving people a reason to criticize you. If you accept the item but don't do the job, you will be criticized."
Wu Lan immediately tightened the bag.
"This kind of thing won't happen so quickly. Let's put it aside for now and let the boy go to work with peace of mind. I'll find a chance to tell him later that the job is full."
Li Dequan waved his hand and said.
As for why he didn't tell the truth to his wife, it was because he was afraid that she might accidentally let slip such a small matter. As for big things, she kept her mouth shut.
Zhao Yi going to the cowshed was originally a small matter, but if it fell into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it could become a big deal or a small matter.
There is no need to create any unnecessary trouble.
"How much money did the boss make today? Why did he buy so many things?"
Zhang Jing asked hurriedly when she saw Zhao Yi walk into the room.
"All the flowers are gone. I also bought a lot for the captain."
Zhao Yi immediately smiled embarrassedly.
Zhang Jing knew that Li Dequan saw Zhao Yi going to the cowshed, so it was only right for her to buy something to please him. In this small world, Li Dequan had the final say on all matters, big or small.
The other party will not hold on to trivial matters.
"Well, you can earn it back later. When it's completely dark, go deliver the fish. Oh, and there are some big shrimps too."
Zhang Jing said as if she remembered something.
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Did you go to the fields to get shrimp?"
"No, my eldest brother brought us eggs today and asked us why our piglets grew so fast. I told him they ate small fish and shrimps, so he went to the fields and got me a lot. I picked out the big ones, but we couldn't finish the rest, so we might as well send them over."
"Don't parents save eggs to sell for money? Why are they sending us eggs again?"
Zhao Yi was a little confused.
"You've helped them so much, and they can't help you in any way. So you can only send them eggs."
Zhang Jing said with a smile.
"We are all family, it would be awkward to say these things."
Zhao Yi quickly shook his head and said.
"I know you would say that. I told my brother not to send it next time. Our hens will lay eggs soon, so we won't be short of eggs in the future."
After saying that, Zhang Jing walked into the kitchen to help Zhao Yi heat up the food.
