Siheyuan: Selling antiques? Only making 28,000 RMB from 30,000 RMB

One day, the factory received an urgent task to complete a batch of difficult products in a short time. The factory director Xu Damao found Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui.

"Zhou Dong, Yan Bugui, this mission is time-sensitive and difficult, I can only place my hopes on you." Xu Damao's tone was full of expectation. They said in unison: "Director Xu, don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission."

So, the two led the workers to work overtime and day and night. Although the task was arduous, everyone was full of energy and the atmosphere was extremely high.

"Zhou Dong, this mission is really a big test." Yan Bugui said while operating the machine.

Zhou Dong wiped the sweat off his face and said with a smile: "Master Yan, I feel at ease with you here." We supported each other and the task was finally completed. Xu Damao came to the workshop in person, checked the products, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhou Dong, Yan Bugui, you guys are doing a great job." Xu Damao praised, "The factory wouldn't be able to survive without you guys."

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui smiled for the first time in a long time: "Director Xu, this is the result of everyone's hard work. When the neighbors learned that the task was successfully completed, they came to congratulate us. The deaf old lady also smiled and said: "Zhou Dong, Yan Bugui, you are really great."

"Thank you, old lady." Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui said in unison. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui sat in the yard chatting and looking at the starry sky.

"Zhou Dong, you know what? In the beginning, I was worried that the competition between us would affect our relationship." "Master Yan, I have the same worry. But I think it is precisely because of the competition that we work harder and deepen our friendship."

Yan Bugui said with emotion: "Yes, Zhou Dong, I am so lucky." "Master Yan, we are also comrades-in-arms. We will face it together."

At this time, he held two bottles of wine in his hand: "Zhou Dong, Master Yan, are you free tonight? Let's have a few drinks together."

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui smiled at each other and nodded: "Okay, Haizhong, let's drink together."

The three of them sat together in the yard, drinking, and their laughter echoed in the night sky.

"Zhou Dong, Master Yan, you are truly the pride of our courtyard." Liu Haizhong said with admiration.

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui smiled modestly: "In Haizhong, life in the Siheyuan will get better and better. Not only have they made continuous progress in technology, they have also led the workers to complete many difficult tasks and have become the backbone of the factory.

One day, Qin Huairu came to Zhou Dong's house again, with a helpless look on her face: "Zhou Dong, "Sister Qin, you're welcome. She whispered: "Sister Qin, open the rice jar, "Zhou Dong, if it weren't for you, "Sister Qin, don't worry, take the rice bag,

One day, Zhou Dong learned about it and said, "Yes," Master Yan said, "Zhou Dong, thank you all." "Master Yan, you're welcome." Yan Jiecheng was full of

Zhou Dong loves rice cakes and rides his bike to buy them every week.

Zhou Dong is a native southerner who has loved rice cakes since he was a child. Since moving to the Siheyuan, he has been riding his bike to the nearby market to buy rice cakes every week. It has become a habit. The neighbors in the Siheyuan also know his hobby and often tease him.

"Zhou Dong, did you go to buy rice cakes again today?" Liu Haizhong asked with a smile. He was sitting in the yard repairing his bicycle.

"Yes, Brother Haizhong, you also know that I'm greedy." Zhou Dong got out of the car with a bag of rice cakes in his hand.

Qin Huairu came out of the house and came over when she heard the voice: "Zhou Dong, have you bought the rice cakes? Let me try some."

Zhou Dong smiled and handed over the rice cake: "Sister Qin, here you go, this is the freshest and still hot."

Qin Huairu took the rice cake, tasted it, and praised: "Zhou Dong, your rice cake is really delicious. You buy so much every time, aren't you afraid of getting fat?"

Zhou Dong laughed: "Sister Qin, I work in the factory every day, and I consume a lot of energy, so I'm not afraid of getting fat."

At this time, Yan Bugui also came over: "Zhou Dong, you bought rice cakes again? Can I have a taste this time, Master Yan?" Zhou Dong took out a piece of rice cake and handed it over, "This is my favorite, you can try it."

Yan Bugui took the rice cake, took a bite, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it tastes good, Zhou Dong, you have a really picky taste."

"As long as you like it, Master Yan." "If there is a chance in the future, I can take you to buy it together."

A hint of joy flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes: "That's great, Zhou Dong, you are in for a treat this time."

Everyone sat together in the yard, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

"Zhou Dong, you go to buy rice cakes every week. Aren't you tired of riding a bike?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

"It's a bit tiring, but it's worth it for this rice cake." "Besides, this is also my little pleasure every week. I couldn't help but say: "Zhou Dong, you like rice cake so much, why don't we learn to make it together?"

"Good idea, Sister Qin." Zhou Dong's eyes lit up, "I was just thinking about learning how to make rice cakes. It would be even better if you could teach me."

Qin Huairu nodded: "Then it's settled, let's find a time to learn together." Qin Huairu prepared the ingredients and invited Zhou Dong to her home to learn how to make rice cakes. Zhou Dong came to Qin Huairu's house with great expectations and saw that she had already prepared glutinous rice flour, red bean paste and other ingredients.

"Zhou Dong, today we are going to make red bean rice cake." Qin Huairu said with a smile, "This is what I am best at, watch carefully." "Okay, Sister Qin, I will definitely learn it seriously."

Qin Huairu explained as she operated: "First, mix the glutinous rice flour and water evenly to make rice paste. Then spread a layer of rice paste in the steamer, then a layer of red bean paste, and finally cover it with another layer of rice paste."

Zhou Dong watched carefully, and secretly noted down every step in his mind: "Sister Qin, your craftsmanship is really good. Seeing you do it so skillfully, I want to learn it too."

"If you practice more, you can do it well." Qin Huairu encouraged, "The key is to master the proportions and timing."

After a busy period, the red bean rice cake was finally steamed. Zhou Dong couldn't wait to taste it and praised it highly: "Sister Qin, this rice cake is so delicious, even better than the ones sold outside!"

Qin Huairu smiled: "I'm glad you like it. You can make it yourself next time." "Sister Qin, I learned a lot today."

"It's nothing, as long as you like it." Qin Huairu smiled. In addition to buying rice cakes at the market every week, Zhou Dong also started making rice cakes by himself. He shared the rice cakes he made with his neighbors, and everyone praised him highly.

One day, Yan Jiecheng came home from the factory and saw Zhou Dong making rice cakes in the yard. He couldn't help but walk over and said, "Zhou Dong, are you making rice cakes again?" "Yes, Master Yan,"

Yan Jiecheng took the rice cake and tasted it. "Hmm, it tastes good. Zhou Dong, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"Thank you, Master Yan." Zhou Dong said gratefully, "It's all thanks to Sister Qin's good teaching."

Yan Jiecheng smiled: "It seems that you two, master and disciple, have a good cooperation."

At this time, Jia Dongxu also came over with a small basket in his hand: "Zhou Dong, I heard that the rice cakes you make are good, can you give me some too? Brother Dongxu." "Try it, don't blame me if it doesn't taste good."

Jia Dongxu took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "Zhou Dong, your cooking skills are really good. I want to learn from you next time." "Okay, Brother Dongxu, you are welcome anytime."

One evening, his face was filled with anxiety.

"Zhou Dong, you're back!" Qin Huairu saw him and hurried forward.

"Sister Qin, what's wrong?

"I'm out of rice at home again, and the children are hungry. Can you lend me some more rice?" Qin Huairu said helplessly.

Zhou Dong felt a pang in his heart and nodded: "Sister Qin, open the rice jar."

Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with tears, and she said gratefully: "Zhou Dong, if it weren't for you, "Sister Qin, don't worry, take the rice bag,

One day, Zhou Dong was making rice cakes in the yard. Liu Guangfu came over and said with a smile: "Zhou Dong, you make rice cakes every week. You are really diligent." "Brother Guangfu, making rice cakes is my hobby. It tastes better when I make them myself."

Liu Guangfu nodded: "Your cooking skills are really good, Brother Guangfu, you are welcome anytime." Zhou Dong said cheerfully.

Liu Guangfu looked at the rice cake and suddenly remembered something: "Zhou Dong, do you know? The factory is going to select outstanding employees recently. You have to work hard." Thanks to Brother Guangfu for reminding me. The factory officially announced the selection of outstanding employees, and everyone has devoted themselves to the intense work. Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui, as technical backbones, naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

"Zhou Dong, this time the selection, but still said:" Hai Zhong, smiled and said: "Zhou Dong, don't be modest, "Master Yan, you are not bad,"

On the day when the selection results were announced, Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui lived up to everyone's expectations and were both named outstanding employees. Everyone congratulated them.

"Zhou Dong, Master Yan, congratulations!" Xu Damao said with a smile, "You are the pride of our factory."

Zhou Dong and Yan Bugui looked at each other and smiled.

"Zhou Dong," Master Yan, the neighbors heard the news and expressed their congratulations. Qin Huairu came over with a plate of snacks: Congratulations on becoming an excellent employee. Suddenly said: "Zhou Dong,"

One day Zhou Dong passed by a store and found a piece of clothing that was exactly the same as the one his mother wore when he was a child.

Zhou Dong's life in the courtyard is as busy and fulfilling as ever. Every day, he works hard in the steel mill, and when he returns to the courtyard, he always has a lively chat with his neighbors.

One day, after get off work at the factory, Zhou Dong decided to go to the shops on the street to buy some daily necessities for himself. While walking on the street, he was attracted by a second-hand shop. There were all kinds of old items in front of the shop, which brought back many memories of his childhood.

"Zhou Dong, come and take a look. These old things are really interesting." Liu Haizhong was also on the street and greeted Zhou Dong after seeing him.

"Okay, Brother Haizhong." Zhou Dong walked over with a smile, looking at the old items while chatting with Liu Haizhong.

Suddenly, Zhou Dong's eyes were attracted by a piece of clothing in the store. It was an old-fashioned floral cotton jacket, the color had faded a little, but the workmanship was fine, exactly the same as the one his mother wore when he was a child.
