Chapter 20 20. Uncle Wang
Uncle Shi San drove the ox cart with a face full of envy, and said to Shi Liu: "Shi Liu, if there is such a good thing in the future, you should also think of your cousins. Your cousins have nothing but great strength, so they can definitely handle this kind of physical work."
Shi Liu laughed and replied, "Who knows when this opportunity will come. If there are many people who want it, I will definitely look for Uncle San."
Uncle Shi also knew that this kind of good thing would definitely be related to her brother, but what if there were many people in need one day? People always have to have hope.
The eldest and second brothers Shi on the ox cart became more and more grateful to their sister. Although they were only temporary workers, there were only a few people in the village who could work as temporary workers in the city. Although they were not the first, they were also outstanding.
Shi Liu was a little worried about her two brothers, so she reminded them on the way, "Big brother, second brother, when you get to the brick factory, you'd better get along well with them. Be sweet-talking, be diligent, and be sure to have a clear vision. Although your job won't last long, it's considered a high-risk occupation at the brick factory. Who knows, someone might need your replacement in the future."
Brother Shi nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister. The second brother and I know what we are doing and we will definitely do our best."
Second Brother Shi also nodded. He knew that he was a good person, and his eldest sister must have something to do with this matter.
Both brothers were sensible, and Shi Liu felt that her concern for them was worth it. If she could find them permanent temporary or permanent jobs, she would be happy. In fact, she really wanted them to become truck drivers. These days, truck drivers offer a lot of lucrative opportunities, but the risks are also high. Shi Liu hadn't made up her mind yet.
Worried that the two brothers would be intimidated by their leader, Shi Liu simply took them into the brick factory and expertly handed them two Red Star cigarettes. "Leader, these are my two brothers. They're here to relieve Brother Wang Dayou. Please take care of them."
"You two comrades look strong. I'll take them to work right away, but we don't provide meals here."
Shi Liu knew that the leader was telling the truth, so she didn't make any unreasonable demands. "I understand. I'll bring food to the two brothers." Then she turned to Shi Da Ge and the other brother and said, "You guys go back to work. I'll come over to bring you food at noon."
There was a lot of work waiting for them at the brick factory, so Brother Shi and his friend didn't hesitate and could only nod at their sister.
Although the family had vegetables brought from their hometown, they had no meat. Lifting bricks was physically demanding, and Shi Liu didn't want her two brothers to return home emaciated after a month. Many people work hard to make money in their youth, only to suffer severe health problems in old age, leaving them with nothing but money. Shi Liu didn't want her two brothers to end up like that.
Standing at the door of the meat processing plant again, Shi Liu lightly clicked to sign in, and got another 100 kilograms of pork.
The guard looked at the girl and thought she looked familiar. "Little girl, I've seen you walking around here several times. What's going on?"
Shi Liu was suddenly embarrassed. She just wanted to get some pork for free at the door, but she couldn't say that: "I want to buy some pork, but I don't have a meat ticket--" What she meant was that she couldn't afford it and was just looking.
Seeing this, the guard sighed inwardly. This girl had come back and forth countless times but never got in once. It was too pitiful. "Little girl, everyone in our meat processing plant gets some meat without a ticket. My son probably doesn't have much good meat left right now. If you don't mind, you can use my portion."
Shi Liu didn't expect such a good thing to happen. She took out two handfuls of Chinese cabbage from her backpack and said, "Uncle, my family is from Nong Village. These Chinese cabbages are grown by my mother. If you don't mind, you can eat them." Fortunately, she was afraid that the vegetables would go bad if left outside, so she put most of them in the system space.
The guard was immediately delighted. His family had plenty of meat to eat, and his son was away from home. He had sold most of his quota. Today, he had simply felt the girl was pitiful and wanted to help her. He hadn't expected to receive such an unexpected reward. His expression became even more amiable. "Little girl, what's your name?"
"My name is Pomegranate. What's your name, sir?"
"My name is Wang Qianjin, you can just call me Grandpa Wang."
"Okay, Grandpa Wang."
When the security guard, Uncle Wang, heard the little girl's clear voice, he felt envious. When he was young, he always wanted a delicate and soft little girl. Unfortunately, his wife passed away early and only gave birth to a son for him. He was worried that his son would be bullied by his stepmother, so he never looked for another one.
The old man, in a very good mood, brought Shi Liu into the meat processing plant and said, "Da Jun, this is my niece from my hometown. I won't let her take my share today. Girl, take a look and see what you want."
"Uncle, I want pig liver, pig heart and pig stomach." Shi Liu did not ask for pork fat. After all, she was an outsider, and it would be too rude to ask for pork fat.
Sure enough, the man named Da Jun's expression brightened immediately after hearing this. After all, the things Shi Liu wanted were not worth much. "Little girl, Uncle Wang still has 20 kilograms of quota left. If you want these, you can buy 50 kilograms."
Pomegranate: "Then give me 50 kilograms. Do you count the big bones separately?"
"If you want big bones, two for ten cents."
"Then I want ten big bones."
Uncle Wang didn't expect the girl to buy so much: "Dajun, give her some pig offal and pomegranates. Don't think they are smelly, these are all meat."
"I don't mind. Uncle Dajun, can you help me tie up the pig intestines?" Nowadays, people dislike pig intestines, mainly because most people don't know how to prepare them. But pig intestines are actually quite delicious when prepared properly. Dishes like "Nine-Turn Large Intestine" and "Dry-Stir-fried Pig Intestines" are all very famous delicacies. Although Shi Liu didn't cook much in her past life, she was a devoted fan of the show "A Bite of China," memorizing countless recipes.
"No problem." Da Jun deftly tied up a pair of pig intestines with a hemp rope.
Shi Liu put the pig liver and other things into the backpack, held the hemp rope in his left hand, and said to Uncle Wang with a smile: "Uncle, I will come to see you next time. I wonder if you have any vegetables you like to eat? I will bring them over when I go."
A gleam of light flashed in Uncle Wang's eyes. This girl is interesting. "Uncle, except for bitter melon, I have no taboos on vegetables. I'll just bring whatever I have at home."
"Okay." Shi Liu understood. Uncle Wang was planning to continue trading with her. For rural people, vegetables were really nothing. She had plenty at home. "I'll bring a whole basket next time."
"Okay, okay, okay." Uncle Wang said "Okay" three times happily.
Shi Liu also smiled happily. As long as she had this thread, she would be able to eat meat openly in the future...
