Ye Zhiqiu was stunned. Now is a difficult time!
But he soon realized that the harder the times, the more alcohol was needed! And beer didn't require receipts. In the past, you needed a receipt to buy it, but now anyone can just get a beer!
He smiled bitterly and said, "This is really... speechless..."
Wang Fugui knocked on the table and said, "Grandson, eat! There are some things we can't control, just live your own life. You can take a look at this matter when the time comes. If it's possible, help get your aunt into work."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Yes, let's just live our own lives. We can't control other things. I will pay attention to this matter. As long as there is a vacancy, my master uncle will definitely let me know. Aunt Liu, just wait and see!"
Liu Cuihua expressed her gratitude repeatedly. It is really hard to describe her career journey in a few words!
They had discussed this matter before Ye Zhiqiu joined the army. Who would have thought that two years had passed and there was no progress at all.
The main reason is that the price of work has skyrocketed. At the Second Textile Factory, a full-shift job costs 800 yuan!
Qian Dafu didn't dare to buy this expensive job, and Liu Cuihua also felt that her family's savings were too little, and it would be inappropriate to ask the Ye family to borrow too much money, so she never got a job.
The last time the brewery increased production, it only added more equipment, but there was no recruitment. It was only when he heard that the brewery's current increase in production was to expand a production line that Qian Dafu dared to ask.
Recruitment quotas and buying a job are two different things. At least for a cadre like Ye Zhiqiu, if the brewery is really recruiting, he can get a quota for a few hundred yuan. This is a huge difference from buying a job for more than 800 yuan!
After finishing the meal, Ye Zhiqiu and the others smoked a cigarette, and then he said he was going out. He went to the kitchen first and saw that Wang Xiaolan had already taken the food away to send to Director Gao, so he pushed his bicycle out.
It was still early, so Ye Zhiqiu found a deserted place and put two hundred preserved dead rabbits. After they were frozen solid, he put sixty of them into two sacks, tied them to the back seat of his bicycle, and rode towards the pigeon market at Chongfu Temple.
With scarves covering their faces, everyone looks the same now, so it is generally difficult to recognize each other, and no one with nothing to do comes to check.
In this cold weather, if you make things difficult for others, you will only make things difficult for yourself. So when Ye Zhiqiu arrived at Pigeon City, he found it very lively!
However, most people wanted to buy things, not sell them. This cold snap brought so many days of snow, and those who were dealing in supplies really didn't have much to sell.
Ye Zhiqiu put a rabbit on the surface, and then people rushed over crazily!
It looked like he packed sixty rabbits and sold a hundred. Anyway, no one suspected this. The people around were waving money, hoping that Ye Zhiqiu would take the money and get the rabbits!
"No more, no more, stop crowding around, go look at other stalls!"
Although I was disappointed, everything was sold out and the crowded crowd had to slowly disperse.
During this time, some people wanted to ask Ye Zhiqiu when he would come to sell rabbits again, but he waved his hand and sent them away without saying a word.
Can this be scheduled? Who knows what will happen if the news gets out! He's not a fool, he definitely won't do such a blatant thing.
After going to the Tianqiao Pigeon Market and selling another hundred pigeons, Ye Zhiqiu got on his bicycle and rode towards Li Xingwu's house.
It was already 3:30 in the afternoon. Ye Zhiqiu came here without any nonsense. He gave the things to Li Xingwu, took 78 yuan from him, and hurried home.
After returning to Sanlitun, he released two ducks from the space and started to get busy when he got home.
It’s not that difficult to make roast duck. Almost all the chefs in Beijing know how to make it, because sometimes roast duck is a dish that is served at banquets.
Of course, that was in the past when supplies were plentiful; nowadays, we can't be so particular. For example, at Li Xingwu's brother's wedding banquet, there was a sour radish and old duck soup, and the duck had to be divided into three portions.
But his banquet was not bad either, with chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs, and not to mention the quantity, at least the five meat dishes were pretty good!
Because Li Xingwu's younger brother was a technical secondary school student and became a cadre after graduation, so they really couldn't afford to make the wedding banquet too bad. If the wedding banquet dishes for cadres were too bad, it would be too embarrassing.
The Li family paid the money willingly. It was a matter of honor for a cadre of the Li family to get married.
Liu Cuihua and her husband helped to prepare the ducks, as Ye Zhiqiu had brought them back so they could stay for dinner. While he was mixing the crispy water, Ye Tianya fiddled with the charcoal and the stove.
Qian Dafu exclaimed, "Nephew, this duck is really... too fat! It feels like it weighs at least six or seven pounds!"
Liu Cuihua agreed: "I feel that it must be more than six pounds. This duck will be so delicious when roasted!"
Ye Zhiqiu replied with a smile, "I guarantee your mouth will be full of oil after one bite! These are two old ducks, so the meat may not be as tender, but it's thicker in fat."
It must be said that people at that time were not afraid of being greasy at all! People in later generations, who had no shortage of oil and water, would be greasy.
Ye Tianya asked cheerfully, "Son, it would be a shame not to drink with such a good duck. How about bringing a bottle of your good wine tonight and having a couple of drinks?"
Ye Zhiqiu laughed and said, "What the hell? I have to pay for the duck, roast it and serve it to everyone, and I have to contribute the good wine my wife gave me, right?"
"Hehe, maybe that was the wine my daughter-in-law gave me as a gift, but you just took it away!"
It's no wonder that Feng Xiaomei always said she would bring wine to them every time, but Ye Zhiqiu never remembered it. Good wine is useful to keep.
The large amount of cigarettes and alcohol in his space were half given to him by Feng Xiaomei before he joined the army, and the other half were brought in with the help of Ma Banghua and others.
But after two years, there really wasn't much left. At least there were only eight packs of cigarettes left, but there were still more than a dozen bottles of wine.
"Okay, okay, if you want to drink, let's drink. It's not like I'm not letting you drink!"
Liu Cuihua laughed heartily and said, "Nephew, you don't know, but in the two years since you were away, your mother would scold them every time they drank! Because your mother always said that the good wine would be saved for you when you came back, so big brother really didn't dare to drink the good wine carelessly!"
Ye Tianya was anxious. He said unhappily, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I just don't want to argue with your sister-in-law..."
Doesn't Ye Zhiqiu know who he is? When Wang Xiaolan is around, he is tough all over! When Wang Xiaolan is not around, he is especially tough in every way!
After the duck is processed, it is boiled in water. In this kind of weather, the duck will dry quickly, and then the crispy skin water is added. It is kept cooking until six o'clock in the evening before it is started to be roasted.
