Ma Banghua said happily: "Then I have to thank you. If you can find any extra money from me, then I will make a lot of money!"
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at him and went to get his food. After all, he would be his cousin in the future. It wouldn't be a big deal to be a man who could bend and stretch himself!
After handing the lunch box and ticket to Huang Dahe, Ye Zhiqiu came to Wang Lei who was sitting on a recliner and respectfully handed him a cigarette and lit it.
"Master, Master Uncle asked me to get the big turtle and the big black fish, so I slipped away after dinner. I probably won't be able to bring anything back until tomorrow afternoon."
Wang Lei perked up. He urged, "Can you bring fresh big black fish? If you can, I'll process it and put it in the cold storage right away. That way, it'll taste even better when you cook it tomorrow."
Ye Zhiqiu laughed and said, "Hehe, then they must be fresh. Actually, I only have to go downstairs to buy soft-shelled turtles. People raise big black fish in the city, and they just ask for a high price to bring them back!"
Wang Lei had witnessed the extraordinary abilities of this young disciple. During his apprenticeship, he brought ingredients to him every day, and he used them to make about 60% of the common dishes he knew how to cook.
After all, he had been cooking for many years, so he knew a lot of dishes. However, he couldn't teach dishes that required precious ingredients, even if he knew how.
All I can do is copy my notes for him in the future, and then follow the recipe when I come across these ingredients.
Others had to eat on time, but Ye Zhiqiu had a great chef father. So when he came back with three lunch boxes, others started to line up for food.
Once Ye Zhiqiu put the two people's lunch boxes aside, they would naturally take their own according to the numbers.
He took the chopsticks and opened the lunch box while smiling and saying, "Today we have tofu. It tastes really good, and it even has some oil residue in it. My senior brother didn't skimp on it for me! I filled out a ten-cent meal ticket and gave it to you all."
Upon hearing this, He Yongjun wanted to reach into his pocket and take out the factory's meal ticket to give to Ye Zhiqiu, but he was rejected by Ye Zhiqiu with a wave of his hand.
"What? Do I need your meal tickets? I don't have to sit in the factory for lunch every day like you guys. I have plenty of meal tickets!"
Ma Banghua said happily: "Give me what I want, we are just giving him face as he is our rich husband!
Even though our salaries are higher than his, my brother doesn't have to subsidize his poor relatives and can also make extra money by selling things!
We're both pretty useless, we're not even as well off as he is! Just eat what you can and drink what you can. Don't be so polite to him.
At most, when he marries my cousin, we brothers will just put in more effort and help him with the work!"
Ye Zhiqiu laughed so hard that his teeth were exposed, and his frivolous look made He Yongjun laugh for a long time.
I have to say that Ma Banghua is good at talking, just based on this sentence about marrying his cousin. Ye Zhiqiu felt that today's dish was not wasted if he added more to them!
The meal was eaten with laughter. The tofu was indeed delicious. Ye Zhiqiu took a spoon, put the tofu on the two-grain steamed bun, and took a bite.
This way of eating tasted better and more flavorful, so Ma Banghua and the other two followed suit. In this way, the three of them used spoons to eat up the tofu and steamed buns, and slowly ate the remaining shredded potatoes.
Ye Zhiqiu took Ma Banghua's cigarette. After the three of them lit it up together, he exhaled the smoke and said jokingly, "Hey, I have some purchasing work to do. If you guys do more work this afternoon, it will be like helping me!"
Ma Banghua was speechless and said, "What's wrong with you? You're running away when the whole factory is working together?"
He Yongjun put his arm around Ye Zhiqiu's neck and said, "Brother, you're betraying our revolutionary friendship! You're running off to enjoy yourself, leaving the two of us to work in the factory. Check your conscience, doesn't it hurt?"
Ye Zhiqiu patted his chest and said proudly, "Do I have a conscience? Hahaha, I won't tease you anymore. My master uncle asked me to buy a big turtle to add a delicious dish to the banquet the day after tomorrow!"
It’s easy to find small ones in the city, but if they’re big, you have to go far away to get them.”
Hearing they were going to get soft-shelled turtles, He Yongjun asked curiously, "Brother, they say soft-shelled turtles are very nutritious. Is that true?"
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the two of them with a strange expression. Seeing that they both looked very curious, he teased them, "You two are really useless! You've only been married for a few days, and you're already looking for something to replenish your body..."
"Hey, brother, please don't slander me. I'm just curious, but I didn't say I want to make up for it!"
"That's right, does my body need to be replenished? Are you kidding me?"
How could Ye Zhiqiu not know? These cattle, having just started plowing the fields, were both excited and curious about this unfamiliar work!
So some cows don’t know how to work hard and can plow a lot of fields in a day, while some cows don’t know how to control themselves and can easily get exhausted.
He just watched with a smile, watching how the two of them argued. In the end, they felt it was too awkward and started chatting with each other about the weather.
Ye Zhiqiu put out his cigarette, put his things away, said goodbye, and prepared to ride away on his bike.
Who knew Qiu Xiaoshan ran out in a hurry and shouted loudly: "Xiao Ye, wait a minute!"
Ye Zhiqiu had just mounted his bicycle and hadn't even had time to pedal when he turned and looked back to see Qiu Xiaoshan running out. Bewildered, he quickly dismounted and parked his bike.
"Brother Qiu, what's going on? I'm just about to go get some soft-shelled turtles."
Qiu Xiaoshan supported the reader with both hands, took a long breath before recovering and explaining, "Finally, we made it. Our people over there suddenly informed the factory that the superiors would come for a surprise inspection tomorrow.
"My boss asked me to ask you if there's any way to get the ingredients tomorrow morning? If not, let's discuss changing the menu for the banquet..."
It turned out that the raiders arrived early, and all the things were in the space, so there was naturally no problem!
However, Ye Zhiqiu knew this was the time to take credit, so he patted his chest and said, "The situation is so urgent, I'll go home and tell my uncle and rush over to get the ingredients right away! Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly and will definitely not hold him back!"
"Okay, then Xiaoye, remember to keep your gun with you at all times and be sure to pay attention to safety issues. I'll go and reply to the leader like this."
"Okay, Brother Qiu, don't worry, just go back and tell me when you're ready. I won't waste any more time talking. We have to hurry to get the things back, so I'm going home first!"
Ye Zhiqiu said, then he got on his bike and left the brewery. He didn't know what was going on, but they were conducting a surprise inspection!
Ye Zhiqiu had originally thought that he could sleep in naturally tomorrow, but now all his plans were ruined! He had to go to work as usual tomorrow to deliver the soft-shelled turtles and snakehead fish to the factory.
Ye Zhiqiu returned to Alley No. 3, muttering inwardly. He saw Wang Fugui at the door. He was protecting Ye Bailu and arguing fiercely with an old man who was leading a child of about the same age.
