Chapter 250: Pork and Cabbage Stewed with Vermicelli

Liu Mingcheng really thinks this is a good job.

His job is simple, just buying ingredients for the store every day. There is someone to teach him in the beginning, so it is not too difficult for him. The most important thing is... this job can be converted to a full-time job in the future.

After becoming a regular employee, the salary and benefits will be better.

Liu Mingcheng never dreamed that one day he would have a formal job like the people in the city.

Liu Yinyin saw him talking and looked very happy.

After thinking for a while, she took out twenty yuan and a few bills from her bag and handed them to him: "Brother, I don't know what you need. I'll give you the money and bills. You can buy whatever you want. The supply and marketing cooperative is not far away."

Each branch of the Liu family has some private money. Liu Yinyin is not worried about the second brother Liu, but it is very likely that sister-in-law Liu did not give eldest brother Liu any money during his visit this time.

It's good to go out without some money.

She rushed to see Brother Liu because of this matter.

Brother Liu's eyes were filled with tears: "Little sister, how can I take your money..."

Liu Yinyin stuffed the money and bills into his hands: "Take it, my mother gave me the money when I left."

Brother Liu grabbed the money in his hand and said, "I'll pay you back next time when I get paid."

They had taken a sleeper berth when they arrived, so how could they have any money left over from the little money Jiang Cuihua had given them?

It was getting late, so Liu Yinyin didn't want to delay him from going to work. She hugged Gu Yanyan and stood up: "Brother, I'm going back first. If you have anything, come to the army to find us."

Brother Liu hurriedly said, "Little sister, wait for me."

He turned and went to the hotel kitchen, and after a while, he brought out an oil paper bag for Liu Yinyin.

The oil paper package was bulging, and there must be something wrapped inside.

Liu Yinyin sniffed it and found a faint smell of meat. She whispered, "Brother, is it meat?"

Brother Liu nodded and said, "This is a small piece of pork left over from this morning. I spent a ticket to buy this piece of pork from the master chef. You can take it back and eat it, little sister."

One good thing about working in a hotel is that there are always some leftover ingredients or scraps in the store every day. These things......

The big portion goes to the chef in the kitchen, and the small portion will be distributed to the employees in the store.

Brother Liu is here alone and doesn't need to light a fire to cook.

"Little sister, if there are any extra ingredients left, I will send them to you." Brother Liu said excitedly.

Liu Yinyin was a little amused: "Okay, you can't grow vegetables here, and pork is hard to buy, so I won't be polite to you, big brother."

State-owned hotels are different from supply and marketing cooperatives. They are in the catering business and have many channels.

Not just every day, the store would supply pork every now and then to attract business.

Liu Yinyin never thought that one day she would be able to eat the food given by Brother Liu.

After leaving the state-owned hotel, Liu Yinyin went to the supply and marketing cooperative on the way.

Although the weather is not hot now, pork should still be eaten while it is fresh.

Liu Yinyin thought about it and bought a handful of vermicelli at the supply and marketing cooperative, planning to go back and make some pork stewed with vermicelli, as Gu Cheng loved this dish.

We bought oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, but we didn’t have any pots, bowls, pans or anything else.

Liu Yinyin discussed with Ma Guilan whether she could lend her the pot.

If Ma Guilan is willing to lend it, Liu Yinyin doesn't plan to buy the pot for the time being.

I don’t know yet what the layout of the house I’m going to get will be, and I’m worried that the pot I buy may not be the right size.

Ma Guilan agreed without thinking: "You can use it as you like."

What Brother Liu gave Liu Yinyin was a piece of pork belly, not much, just about 200 to 300 taels.

There was not enough meat, so Liu Yinyin took advantage of the fact that no one was around and smuggled another two taels of pork belly out of the system.

I soaked a handful of vermicelli and asked Ma Guilan for a few cabbage leaves.

Liu Yinyin cooked a pot of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew, and the portion was a bit too much.

Liu Yinyin filled a bowl and gave it to Ma Guilan.

The rest can be put in a lunch box and used as an additional dish in the evening.

Gu Cheng came back with Tian Pinggui, and there was another young soldier...the young soldier who delivered the jeep to Gu Cheng at the dock yesterday.

The two men helped Gu Cheng carry a lot of things back, including a few boards and a bag of food.

Just like at noon, Gu Cheng came back sweating all over, holding several lunch boxes in his hands.

Tian Pinggui and Liu Yinyin didn't say anything. Thinking that there were enough food at home, Liu Yinyin wanted to invite the young soldiers who helped to have dinner at home.

Unexpectedly, he just put the things down and ran away.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Gu Cheng turned to Liu Yinyin and said, "It's okay. Next time we move, we'll invite him to our house for dinner."

Liu Yinyin had to stop thinking: "Go wash your hands quickly, I've made your favorite dish."

Gu Cheng was slightly stunned: "Cooking?"

Liu Yinyin shook her head: "No, I just cooked a dish."

Liu Yinyin didn't know in advance that Brother Liu would give her pork, so she didn't ask Gu Cheng to buy less food in the evening.

Just like at noon, Gu Cheng ordered three more dishes from the cafeteria.

Steamed cod, abalone slices with scallions and ginger, and stir-fried radish shreds, all of which were quite generous in portion.

The staple food is six cornmeal dumplings, each about the size of a fist.

Misstep. Misstep.

There is a bit too much food tonight, and I guess I can’t finish it. It’s not good to eat seafood overnight.

It's not fashionable to waste food these days.

Liu Yinyin calculated carefully and said, "What you can't finish will be given to you as a midnight snack?"

Gu Cheng said, "Okay, I'll eat after I finish my work."

After dinner, he will open another cabinet.

Seeing the pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew in the lunch box, Gu Cheng looked up and asked Liu Yinyin: "...Did your elder brother give it to you?"

At this time, it is impossible for the supply and marketing cooperative to sell pork. I thought about Liu Yinyin visiting Brother Liu in the afternoon.

Gu Cheng guessed that the pork was sent by Brother Liu.

Liu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, big brother is doing a good job there, and he even said that he would send me food in the future."

The seafood here is really fat, the abalone fillet is almost as big as her palm.

It is not easy to gain weight by eating fish and shrimp. Liu Yinyin has eaten more in the past two days.

Gu Cheng was originally worried that she would not be used to the food here, but now it seems... he was overthinking it.

This is also good, I will definitely be able to adapt to life here quickly in the future.

After dinner, Gu Cheng took a break and went to tinker with his cabinet.

Liu Yinyin asked him to make the cabinet look like a cupboard so that it would not be wasted when they moved to a new home in the future.

You can move the cabinet to the kitchen and use it as a cupboard.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Liu Yinyin has adapted quite well here, but she has too much free time and her life is a bit boring.

Gu Cheng had to go to the army every day, and he could come back on time in the first one or two days.

Last night, he was busy until around eight or nine before he got home. After washing up, he fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, when Liu Yinyin woke up, she had already gone to the army.

Liu Yinyin knew that he worked hard, but she didn't expect him to be so busy.
