"Haha, how about making spicy boiled fish and braised fish cubes with this fish?"
Chen Weihong nodded happily, and the three of them walked inside together, chatting about what had happened recently.
Chen Weiguo said depressedly: "Brother Ye, I may not be good at studying. The teacher scolds me all the time. But I really worked hard to get into school, but I can't solve those questions. What can I do..."
Sixteen-year-old Chen Weiguo, who started school late, is facing exams this year! His family hopes he can get into a technical secondary school, so the pressure is really great!
Ye Zhiqiu comforted him, "Don't worry, learning is a matter of personal preference. If you really can't learn, it's not your fault, it's just that you're slower than others!
If that doesn't work out, we can just go to high school. If we get into university, wouldn't that be better than going to a technical secondary school?"
Consolation aside, it’s actually really hard to get into university! The entrance exam from junior high school to technical secondary school is the one opportunity where you need to fight the most!
Because it is different from later generations, technical secondary school graduates are assigned to public institutions, with a starting salary of 30 to 40 yuan a month. Moreover, technical secondary school jobs mean cadre status, and they can receive cadre allowances and benefits.
High school graduates can only be assigned to ordinary factories and work as ordinary workers. Most of them earn 25 to 30 yuan a month when they first start working.
It’s different for college students. They become cadres as soon as they graduate, and their starting salary is 50 or 60 yuan, plus various allowances and subsidies.
It can be said that after college students graduate, they start off with a great start!
But the interesting thing is that most ordinary people aim to get into a college. Those who fail to pass the exam basically use connections to find a job, and few people go to high school and fight to get into college.
Therefore, truly outstanding ordinary people go to technical secondary schools, while children from cadre families have more learning resources! They will choose to go to high school and then work hard to get into university. If they fail, they will use their connections to arrange jobs.
Chen Weiguo smiled bitterly and said, "If I can't get into technical secondary school, there's no need for me to keep struggling. I'll just have to decide whether to join the army or work!
Actually, I really want to join the army, but my mother doesn't agree. Otherwise, why would I even want to take the technical secondary school entrance exam? My head is about to explode looking at the questions every day..."
Chen Weihong made a face and said, "Brother is just stupid. Why don't I find studying so painful?"
"Wait until you get into technical secondary school before you tell me this. You're not even in the third year of junior high yet, so you definitely won't find it difficult..."
Amidst the quarrel, the two returned to the Chen family's yard. After Ye Zhiqiu parked his bicycle, he went to greet his master and mistress, and then ran to the kitchen to greet Sun Lai Di.
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Master's wife, my master is coming to dinner tonight and will probably bring my senior brother with him, so I have to cook more.
By the way, is there any shortage of food at home? If so, please let me know and I will buy some for you."
Sun Lai Di said happily, "Then I'll have to steam more buns. There won't be any shortage of food. But if you can get some millet, please help me get some. Your aunt has a bad stomach, so drinking more millet porridge is good for her stomach!"
Ye Zhiqiu has no shortage of millet. He has planted some in his space, although not a lot.
He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let me take a look. I have to go cook for someone tomorrow, so I can't bring it over. How about this, my uncle is going to host a reception at the factory on National Day, so I'll take it to the factory and ask him to bring it back?"
"That's great. There's no need to make you travel all the way here. Just ask your uncle to bring it back. Xiaoye, what are you going to do with this fish?"
At this time, Chen Renfu's voice was heard in the yard.
"My little disciple, have you killed the fish? Please spare the fish..."
Ye Zhiqiu and Sun Laidie looked at each other, not understanding what Chen Renfu was trying to say.
However, Ye Zhiqiu had just taken the knife in his hand when he quickly shouted back, "Master, the killing hasn't started yet. What are your instructions?"
Chen Renfu walked in quickly, and when he saw the big grass carp in the basin, his face was filled with joy!
He just picked up the fish and walked out of the yard. Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused and could only put down the kitchen knife and run to the yard.
In the end, I saw him in a state of confusion!
Because Chen Renfu was holding a long fishing rod, he hung the fish hook in the grass carp's mouth, used straw to pass the fish through the gills and mouth, and tied it to the fishing rod.
He put the fishing rod on his shoulder, adjusted it to the right position, and saw Ye Zhiqiu looking at him in dumbfoundedness.
He immediately said with a serious face: "My little disciple, I caught this fish. Do you understand?"
Ye Zhiqiu, jaw dropping, nodded mechanically and watched Chen Renfu walk out...
He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. How many times must the Air Force have been beaten to force this old man, the Master, to be so shameless as to dry fish!
Seeing that Ye Zhiqiu hadn't brought the fish back to kill it for a long time, Sun Lai Di walked out of the kitchen. She didn't see the fish or the old man, only Ye Zhiqiu squatting on the ground smoking.
She asked curiously, "Xiao Ye, where did your master go with the fish? Why is he gone?"
Ye Zhiqiu turned around and said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Master's wife, the fish tonight will be cooked later. Master has taken the fish out for shopping..."
Sun Lai Di was dumbfounded, but soon she burst into laughter, laughing until tears came out.
After laughing for a long time, she finally controlled herself and explained in a funny way, "Your master is seeking revenge! Yesterday, Mr. Mo, who often went fishing with him, caught a big carp weighing two catties and one ounce, and he came home to show off for a long time!
You didn't see the scene. After Mr. Mo left, your master was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet and smash things! This time you just happened to bring a big fish. He will definitely take this fish and go to all the houses of the uncles who usually go fishing before coming back! "
"And this... these uncles are really something. They are all elderly fishermen. Why do they bring fish to show off..."
Not long after, Ye Zhiqiu, who was washing vegetables, saw Wang Lei. He and Huang Dahe came over on a bicycle.
After saying hello, Wang Lei and his friends brought two pieces of tofu and a lunch box of braised pig ears.
When seeing this thing, Ye Zhiqiu remembered that he had not yet learned how to prepare brine!
He quickly asked Wang Lei, "Master, do we have a recipe for braised pig offal? I've been able to make a whole load of pig offal several times, but I didn't know how to make the braising sauce, so I never bought any!"
Wang Lei scolded him with a smile, "You little bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's such a waste to throw away a whole set of pig offal! I didn't teach you this before because you didn't bring these things with you!"
Forget it, let your senior brother prepare tonight's dishes. I'll take you to your master's warehouse and teach you how to make various brine mixtures."
Ye Zhiqiu said with a grin, "Alright, I can't cook tonight anyway. The big grass carp I caught was taken by my master as a catch to show off to the other fishermen!"
Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Your master really hasn't changed in all these years..."
