Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Jinsha Eggplant Crispy on the Outside and Tender on the Inside Dip...
A few days ago, Su Tianli asked Yao Meiyu to help inquire about the sale of houses or land.
At that time, Yao Meiyu asked Su Tianli, "Why did you buy this house? As a wedding house for you and Cheng Yu?"
Su Tianli glared at her and said, "I want to buy a piece of land for our company to build a restaurant!"
Yao Meiyu suddenly realized and was extremely excited. "Oh my God, am I going to be rich soon? Is Lizhi going to buy me land soon?"
Then she began to daydream, "When I have enough money in the future, I will go to Beijing at least! To see the Leader Gate, the Memorial Tower, and even better, to see the snow..."
Su Tianli understood.
——During a dinner a few days ago, Cheng Yu said, "In the future, everyone can go to the Northeast to see the snow." This sentence probably deeply hurt Yao Meiyu.
Because, among all the friends, only Yao Meiyu and Cheng Yu have never seen snow.
But Cheng Yu recently went to the Northwest. He didn't see the snowflakes falling from the sky with his own eyes, but the street corners and distant mountains were covered with a little snow.
Yao Meiyu felt very upset about this.
Su Tianli smiled and said to Yao Meiyu, "Please help me check the house too."
Yao Meiyu glared, "Do you really want to buy a wedding house?"
Su Tianli wants to buy a house, but not for marriage.
But it takes too much time to explain.
So Su Tianli said: "In short, my requirements for the land are that it must be close to the national highway. At least 500 square meters, and the terrain must be flat..."
"As for the house, it's what I want personally. The requirements are that the layout and orientation are good, preferably a single-family house in a nearby town, with a yard and land."
"Remember, our company didn't get any kickbacks for buying the land! But if I can buy the house myself, I will give your sister-in-law two big red envelopes... one for your sister-in-law and one for her friend!"
When Yao Meiyu heard this, she happily went back to report the news.
On this day, Yao Meiyu happily came to tell Su Tianli the news, "Lizhi! Last time you asked my sister-in-law to ask about buying land and a house, it's settled!"
When Su Tianli heard this, her eyes widened immediately, "What?" Yao Meiyu told Su Tianli that after her sister-in-law spread the news, several nearby villages expressed their desire to sell land to Su Tianli.
For no other reason than the new “reform and opening up” policy.
To be honest, everyone has carefully studied the relevant policies in the newspapers, but how should "reform and open up" be carried out? How should it be carried out?
This was not mentioned in the meeting minutes published in the newspaper.
Now, the first registered private joint-stock company, Shiqing Company, on Chemical Avenue has been established, and it has also announced that it wants to buy land and build a large hotel?
So all the village cadres were thinking, what benefits would they get if they sold the land in their village to Su Tianli?
All the nearby village committees held village cadres meetings to discuss the matter.
Finally, several relatively unified opinions were drawn:
First, there will be some income from selling the land, which the village can use to set up a relief fund for widows and orphans and children;
First, after Su Tianli's restaurant opened, the restaurant would definitely need to buy vegetables! Then the vegetables grown by the villagers could be sold to the restaurant. Even if the volume was small, it would still make money.
First, after Su Tianli's restaurant opens, she will definitely need waiters! Look, the surplus labor in the village will have a place to go, right?
Furthermore, if the restaurant business is good and attracts a large number of customers, maybe another Dadadi night market can be built in the village!
To put it another way, even if Su Tianli's restaurant business is not doing well, at least the village can still get some money from selling the land.
Of course, the village cadres of each village also have a little idea - if this matter can be negotiated, then they will become a link in driving the wheel of history forward!
Just like what the newspapers kept saying last year: "The household contract responsibility system in Xiaogang Village, Anhui Province, triggered the household contract responsibility system"!
If "Su Tianli buying land to build a restaurant" can boost the economy in the future, it can also be promoted as a typical deed!
Wouldn’t that mean a bright career?
Besides, the superiors didn’t actually list out rules and regulations to explain what can and cannot be done.
So the grassroots should act flexibly.
Anything that is conducive to "reform and opening up" should be boldly implemented!
After realizing this, the village cadres became excited.
So they asked Yao Meiyu's sister-in-law to pass on a message, saying that they hoped to have a face-to-face meeting with Su Tianli.
Su Tianli thought about it, then looked at the carp-embracing-lotus New Year's calendar on the wall, read it again and again, picked a date, and said to Yao Meiyu, "Let's go with this day! Your sister-in-law will help to contact them."
——She must lead the team to prepare well for this meeting!
First, it can boost the morale of our side.
Secondly, after the village cadres present at the meeting see the project plan she has carefully prepared, they will probably have confidence in her. Once the plan is spread out, it will be easier for her to get things done in the future.
But, it’s New Year’s Day soon.
In addition, it takes time to prepare a project proposal.
So the day Su Tianli was referring to was a day after the New Year.
Yao Meiyu laughed at her, "You still need to choose an auspicious day?"
Even so, Yao Meiyu was happier than Su Tianli, "We should be more formal to show that we take this matter seriously!"
Su Tianli smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Go tell your sister-in-law right away!"
Yao Meiyu sighed and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something. She slapped her head and said to Su Tianli, "Look at me, I'm so young, why do I have such a bad memory?"
"I obviously have another piece of news to tell you..."
"Don't you want to buy a house?"
Su Tianli nodded quickly.
Yao Meiyu explained in detail: "My sister-in-law's best friend said--"
Her sister-in-law's best friend works at the Housing Authority.
There is no such thing as buying and selling real estate in communism.
However, for comrades who have actual needs and difficult family circumstances, we can find ways to solve the problem.
Now Su Tianli has no job - after she moved here from the Northwest, she first worked at the Municipal Youth Educated Office, then was transferred to the Municipal People's Hospital, but was replaced by Su Youzi...
Now Su Tianli’s personnel file has been sent to the street office.
To put it bluntly, Su Tianli is now just a social idler.
If she wants to buy a house, it's not impossible, but she needs to write an application to the street office, explaining why she wants to buy a house. After the street office approves it, they will give her a note saying "approval to buy a house".
Then Su Tianli needed to write another housing application and take it to the Housing Authority together with the "approval for housing purchase" note issued by the street office.
After the Housing Authority approves it, they will provide some housing to Su Tianli, and Su Tianli can buy the house.
After listening to Yao Meiyu's retelling, Su Tianli frowned.
——Yes, it’s really hard to come up with a reason to buy a house.
Yao Meiyu also said this, "Anyway, my sister-in-law's best friend said that among so many people who want to buy a house, the most reliable reason is to buy a house for marriage! Generally, out of ten people who write this, three or four will be successful. Other reasons such as too many people in the family can't live in the house, children need to go to school, etc. will all be rejected and transferred to the Women's Federation, the street, and the neighborhood committee for follow-up, and then mediation!"
"Lizhi, if you want to buy a house, you must apply and say you want to get married... Otherwise, no other reason will work."
Yao Meiyu continued, "And my sister-in-law's best friend also told you to go to the street office to apply in the next two days. You must get the 'approval to buy a house' slip before the New Year, and then give her the application report and the slip."
"She said that their company has a limit on the number of houses they can sell. How can they have so many houses? So, the higher-ups have given us a quota, and they only approve about ten houses a year at most... and they reset it every year! But this 'every year' refers to the Gregorian calendar year."
"It's already the end of January, and she said she has over a hundred applications in her hands."
"What she meant was that you should quickly get the street ticket, and then she would help you cut in line!"
"As for whether you can buy a house, it depends on your luck."
Then Yao Meiyu sighed again, "However, she also said that if it was Lizhi and you wanted to buy a house, the success rate would be quite high!"
Su Tianli was flattered, "Really?"
Yao Meiyu rolled her eyes at Su Tianli and said, "You are still happy here!"
"Do you know why she said that your success rate in buying a house is high?"
"Because you are already an older woman!"
"Su Lizhi! It's already 1979, and you're already 25 years old!"
Su Tianli spat at her, "I'm still five months away from turning twenty-three!"
Yao Meiyu said with a bitter face, "I am four months younger than you, but my mother insisted that I am also 25 years old..."
"I argued with my mom, and she scolded me!"
"She asked me to tell you that we can say we are eighteen if we like, but we must write our age in the report as our lunar age!"
"These older young people need a wedding house when they get married... Not to mention in the eyes of the people in the Housing Authority, this is a real necessity. Even in the eyes of ordinary people like us, this is a top-notch matter! Why don't you try it? You say you are 22 years old and you want to get married and need a wedding house, but they won't approve your application at all! They will even say how many people are waiting in line in front of you, why is it your turn, a 22-year-old youngster!" Yao Meiyu spoke in the tone of her mother.
Su Tianli: ...
After Yao Meiyu relayed what her mother, sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law's best friend said, she excitedly went back to her sister-in-law to report the time for Su Tianli's meeting to buy land.
Su Tianli sat alone in front of the window, her mind full of thoughts about how to prepare the project plan for buying the land.
She is no stranger to this.
This is also thanks to her work experience at Farm 109 in the Northwest.
When Farm 109 was first established, it was poor and had no resources.
The biggest pressure for the person in charge, Wang Xuezhao, is to seek resources everywhere.
Therefore, Wang Xuezhao required everyone to prepare a detailed plan for each project, and to divide the work very carefully... Break down the responsibilities of a project in detail, and then assign the detailed responsibilities to everyone one by one. Individuals must complete the phased plans and must provide three to four or more backup plans.
In this way, at least the plan was a success.
Relying on this trick, Wang Xuezhao is almost invincible in attracting resources, especially when there are competitors.
Although Su Tianli worked as a nurse at Farm 109,
But she also participated in the planning of many projects.
Now, Su Tianli decided to replicate this trick.
She was just about to take out a pen and paper to capture some fragments of her thoughts...
"Lychee?" Cheng Yu's voice rang out.
Su Tianli looked up when she heard the voice and saw Cheng Yu.
He was wearing a white shirt and a short dark gray tweed British-style windbreaker, looking handsome and fashionable.
Yes, Guangzhou’s winter is warm.
Two pieces of clothing are enough.
Su Tianli looked at her handsome boyfriend and smiled with her eyes curved.
Yes,
Ever since Cheng Yu went to the Northwest, his fashion sense has changed.
This change doesn't mean that he has broadened his horizons or anything.
But——
On his way to the Northwest, he saw someone selling second-hand clothes. He thought the windbreaker was pretty nice, so he bought it.
Later, when he wore it for Lizhi to see, he realized the surprise in Lizhi's eyes.
From then on, Cheng Yu knew how to dress up.
At the same time, he would also observe Lizhi's outfit.
He noticed that there are actually only two ways to match lychee's clothes.
One is the depth of the color. For example, if you wear white, light blue, pink, or light green inside, and pair it with black, dark gray, or dark blue, the stronger the contrast, the better.
First, the complementarity of the three primary colors of red, green and blue;
First, it is best not to wear colorful clothes. Clothes, pants, shoes and socks should not exceed three colors.
After understanding this,
Cheng Yu started a face-saving project.
He has money anyway.
He bought several pairs of good quality black trousers.
As for clothes, there are two white shirts, one shirt with a white background and thin light blue stripes, and one shirt with a light gray background and thin light blue stripes. They are all made of good materials.
There are two winter inner wears: an apricot knitted micro fleece vest and a light grey round-neck long-sleeved sweater, both in solid colors.
There are three coats in total: the dark gray British-style short tweed windbreaker he is wearing now, a dark blue imitation pilot jacket, and a black suit.
He also bought a pair of black leather shoes and some black socks.
These clothes cost him nearly three hundred yuan...
It would be a lie to say I don't feel sad.
However, considering that his appearance is his only advantage, and Lizhi likes his appearance...
So he gritted his teeth and cleaned himself up.
Only in this way can he become obsessed with Litchi.
Let Lizhi only have eyes for him!
Of course, he didn't always wear these exquisite and expensive clothes.
When he works at home or goes out to work, he still wears his old clothes.
Look, Cheng Yu is now dressed handsomely, smiling at Litchi.
Then he was satisfied to find that the look in Lizhi's eyes when she looked at him was indeed a little sticky.
"Lizhi, come out and eat." As he said this, Cheng Yu raised the bag containing the lunch box in his hand.
Su Tianli stood up happily.
She took the heavy bag that Cheng Yu handed over to her.
However, before she opened the bundle, she couldn't help laughing - because a branch of frangipani with leaves appeared where the bundle was knotted!
The frangipani has white petals and yellow stamens with a strong fragrance, and is set against a few bright green leaves...
Su Tianli chuckled, and as she unwrapped the bundle, she asked Cheng Yu, "Where did you get the frangipani?"
Cheng Yu said nonchalantly, "I just picked them up when I saw them on the way."
No way!
He had noticed the frangipani growing by the river yesterday, so he ran to pick them early this morning and put them in a basin of water.
"Does it look good?" He asked, pretending to be completely indifferent.
In fact, he was extremely nervous, fearing that she would find him boring, and also fearing that she would find him useless and only capable of doing these things.
"Of course it looks good!"
Su Tianli carefully opened the bundle and saw a branch of frangipani flowers with about seven or eight flowers in full bloom. She immediately smiled with her eyes curved.
She looked around, picked up an empty glass injection bottle, ran to wash it, filled it with tap water, then ran back to put the frangipani in the bottle.
After thinking for a while, Su Tianli picked another blooming frangipani and pinned it on the ends of her hair.
Cheng Yu's face suddenly turned red.
——Lizhi used practical actions to tell him that she liked his gift very much!
Cheng Yu quietly turned his face to the side...
Because he was so happy!
He couldn't control his emotions at all...
He's already laughing silly!
It affects your appearance too much.
So he couldn't let Lizhi see him being so stupid.
Su Tianli left Yao Meiyu's lunch box on the table in the duty room.
Then, carrying the bag in one hand and holding Cheng Yu's hand in the other, the two went to the big banyan tree in the backyard.
After sitting down together, Su Tianli exclaimed "Wow" in surprise as soon as she opened the lid of the lunch box.
It turned out that there were a few dishes in the lunch box that looked like fried food, in chunks, some of which were covered with sauce.
Cheng Yu explained: "This is a dish that Ajuan tried to make. She called it Golden Sand Eggplant. You should try it."
Su Tianli picked up a piece of golden sand eggplant and ate it.
Well, this is actually just cutting the eggplant into strips, dipping it in flour paste, and frying it in a pan.
However, the eggplant itself has been coated with salt, which has a basic flavor, and the unique salty and fresh taste of salted egg yolk. The batter is seasoned, very crispy and delicious...
In addition, Ajuan also made a sweet and sour plum sauce and poured it on some of the fried eggplants.
Su Tianli nodded repeatedly, "Very good."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "But Juan asked me to tell you something, saying you are not allowed to praise me, you can only criticize me, and you must point out at least three shortcomings."
Su Tianli: ???
Isn’t her little cousin too serious?
But, that's a good thing.
Ajuan also wants to improve!
After thinking about it, Su Tianli actually proposed three suggestions for improvement:
"First of all, the eggplant is still a little astringent, so I suggest soaking it in salt water to remove the astringency."
"Secondly, the salted egg yolk is a bit redundant... not really, I think the salted egg yolk might go better with the milk flavor. Why don't you ask her to try adding some milk powder to the salted egg yolk flavored batter?"
"Finally, I think this plum sauce doesn't go well with salted egg yolk - salted egg yolk and milk flavor should be more harmonious, sweet noodle sauce and plum sauce may be more compatible... In addition, I would like to recommend an original garlic flavor, which can be used as a dipping sauce with vinegar water, which should also be good."
As she spoke, Cheng Yu nodded.
After a while, they both finished their meal.
Cheng Yu packed up his lunch box.
Su Tianli picked up the ends of her hair and played with the frangipani she had just pinned on.
The fragrance of frangipani is very strong.
Su Tianli couldn't help but grab the ends of her hair and put it under her nose, taking a deep sniff of the fragrance of the flowers.
She felt a little dizzy because of the strong fragrance of the flowers.
Then she mischievously put the ends of her hair under Cheng Yu's nose, wanting him to smell the fragrance of the flowers and feel dizzy too.
Just like that, Cheng Yu was caught off guard...
Su Tianli made such a fuss.
The frangipani was pressed against his nose, and even the ends of her soft hair were all brushed against his cheeks.
"Does it smell good? Are you dizzy?" Su Tianli laughed heartlessly.
Cheng Yu was stunned.
Even when he sat side by side with her, he was still taller than her.
If you want to peek at her but don't want to disturb her,
Then he would lower his head slightly, half-close his eyelids, and move his eyes to the side...
In order to avoid looking directly at her, yet still be able to see her clearly.
He saw her beautiful face and the smile in her eyes.
He couldn't help but smile back.
"fragrant."
Cheng Yu smiled.
Su Tianli was... even more dazzled by his faint dimples.
Anyway, there is no one around.
She stretched out her finger and poked the dimple at the corner of his lip.
Then--
He caught her hand.
He just kissed her fingers lightly and immediately let go, not daring to be rude.
So, Su Tianli's hand froze in mid-air.
Her expression also showed confusion.
Mainly, she felt dizzy because she had just finished a meal and felt dizzy due to carbohydrates;
Now?
She was kissed on the finger by him for no apparent reason!
he……
He laughed again?
Ah, those shallow dimples are really cute.
Su Tianli couldn't help it.
She leaned in and kissed him gently just below the corner of his lips.
To be honest, Su Tianli had already anticipated what was going to happen.
She and Cheng Yu are already boyfriend and girlfriend.
and--
This wasn't the first time they had kissed.
Su Tianli...
I'm even looking forward to it.
Sure enough, she just kissed him lightly.
Then--
Cheng Yu immediately began to fight back.
His lips,
It’s really soft...
So tender and tender.
Su Tianli couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Is this true? Is this true?
How could a boy's lips be so soft and tender...
And then——
Cheng Yu stopped.
His handsome face flushed, and he asked her with a heavy breath, "Lizhi, shall we buy a house?"
Su Tianli was stunned.
She suddenly understood that he must have heard her talking to Yao Meiyu about buying a house, and Yao Meiyu taught her to use the excuse of "wedding house" when applying for a house.
"We can't keep doing this outside," Cheng Yu said with a red face, "but when we get home... there are so many people at home. If we get married..."
He never dared to say the word "wedding house", so he could only vaguely say: "...Having a house will also be much more convenient, right?"
Cheng Yu was sweating in his heart.
To put it bluntly, he was still a little worried. He was afraid that Lizhi would not be willing to buy a house on the grounds of marriage, and he was even more afraid that Lizhi would scold him for trying to be a hooligan.
Finally, he lowered his head and said, "Lizhi, if I submit a report to apply for buying a house... do you think the street will approve it?"
Su Tianli chuckled.
House?
Just for her handsome, gentle, fair-skinned and easily shy boyfriend,
Of course!
As for the reason for buying a house...
A wedding house is just a wedding house!
After this year, she and he only had half a year left to be together.
There is really no time to delay.
After all, she wanted to see how he would become incontinent in tears when excited!
"I'll buy the house, but you'll be responsible for cleaning it up... huh?" Su Tianli asked with a smile.
The dimple at the corner of Cheng Yu's lips appeared again.
