I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

At ten o'clock in the evening, I helped He Daqing sell the remaining food again.

He Daqing also charged Nan Yi 100 yuan less, and the He family was left with only 120 kilograms of white flour. They used to buy standard flour, which they kept for their own consumption.

There are also 60 kilograms of coarse grains in excess, a total of 180 kilograms of food, which is enough for the He family. There are two cooks and an underage girl in the family.

Food is really not important to the He family. Unlike other families that lack food, as long as they have a certain food ration, it will be enough.

The steel rolling mill could not take grain, and breakfast was also cancelled, but it was only lunch, so the chef could still save money and did not need to use his own food coupons to buy Sanhe steamed bread.

Method Cao Dongfang heard from He Yushui that a coarse grain or fine grain steamed bun weighs two taels, and who can weigh it one by one if it is more or less.

For example, if you use one thousand kilograms of grain to make steamed buns, you can make five thousand steamed buns. If you make five thousand and fifty, the extra fifty are free.

No one will care how big the steamed bun is as long as the weight difference is not too big. Workers will not weigh it before eating. There is no difference between a steamed bun weighing two liang and one liang and nine weights.

But the people in the kitchen...

The same goes for food. If 1000 people are eating, using a spoon to put a little less food can save enough food for a dozen people, and others won't notice.

One cent for the people in the kitchen is a meal, and it’s more than what the ordinary workers earn. How can anyone say anything?

There are three chefs in the courtyard, and Yi Zhonghai, Zhao Jie and others get a lot of advantage when it comes to eating and serving food.

Bigger buns, more vegetables, more meat! In cooking and serving rice——

The cook is awesome!

Of course, you can't be like Sha Zhu in the TV series, filling several lunch boxes with vegetables and taking them home. There is no reason to explain that.

.......

“Dad, after selling all the food, we suddenly have more than 10,000 yuan.

I can't believe that in less than a year, I went from having less than 3000 yuan to having yuan all of a sudden. It's like a dream." Sha Zhu said with a silly smile.

"We have sold all the grain and got the money. Half of the money is enough for two things between the New Year and next year: getting married and buying a house. Zhuzi, you should hurry up." He Daqing said.

Silly Zhu: “….”

Why is it me again? I am also anxious to get married. Doesn’t that mean there is no suitable person? Otherwise...

"I will look for one as soon as possible. There is no suitable person." said Sha Zhu.

"Your standards are too high. You want to marry someone who is educated and well-educated. Can you understand what you say to her or what she says?

You're twenty-six and still can't find a wife. Don't you think about your own reasons?

Have you ever thought about why? Your requirements are too high. "He Daqing said expressionlessly.

"Are my requirements very high? Why don't I think they are high..." Sha Zhu doesn't think he has high requirements.

"Your requirements are not high. It's been seven years, and your wife will be thirty soon. Why don't you think carefully and still be so self-righteous every day?

If you haven't found a suitable person after seven years, it means that your standards are too high, and the person you like is not liked by others.

Your education, your height, your appearance, your job, your family conditions... What about these? Don't you have a clear idea about them?

We only ask for the woman. We are rich now and want a pretty one. If that doesn't work, we can find a girl from the countryside." He Daqing said.

"Rural women don't have food rations...I don't dare to marry them these days." said Sha Zhu.

“Otherwise why would I say you’re stupid? You don’t understand why the requirements for marrying a wife are so high, and you don’t understand why you’re asked to marry a rural woman.

Now that we have money, we can buy a work station, and the woman will get a city hukou. The work stations in a steel rolling mill range from 500 to 1000 people. Do you know this?

You are always thinking in a fuzzy way." He Daqing said.

"I know this. It seems that there is one quota for workshop directors. This one can be..." Sha Zhu said with a silly smile.

"After the New Year, I will find a matchmaker and we will find a wife together. It will be exhausting to find one for you," said He Daqing.

Thank you, Dad!

.......

On New Year's Eve, Cao Dongfang received his monthly salary of 89.5 yuan, two kilograms of pork belly, and two kilograms of flour.

This is the allocation standard of the steel rolling mill director, and Cao Dongfang also has it. The factory leaders have no objection.

Just the free sheep and chickens will allow them to show off their faces during the Chinese New Year this year. Mutton is really not available, and the same goes for their factory director and secretary.

The meat and noodles were given to Uncle Yu under the envious and jealous gazes of other employees, and he went home, not having to go to work in the afternoon.

You can go home and rest now!

Many workers went home as soon as they left the factory gate to have an afternoon rest, each carrying the meat and flour distributed that day.

The steel rolling mill charges 1.4 ounces of meat and 1 pound of flour, which is the highest among all the factories in the city, and all the employees know it.

It satisfies their vanity and their unknowable psychology of comparison. They may not know this, but they subconsciously think that -

Our factory is the best!

The best New Year benefits!

Everyone has this mentality to a greater or lesser extent. Most people can suppress it, and only a very few will show the mentality of 'laughing at others for not having anything and hating others for having something'!

That's sick!

Cao Dongfang didn't see anyone he knew, but many of them greeted him.

Cao Dongfang also responded with a smile, without any airs.

All living beings are equal!

At least on the surface!

......

"Uncle Yan, you are arranging the flowers again. Please be busy. Goodbye." Cao Dongfang said.

"Dongfang is back. He gets off work before noon on the 30th. It's nice for him to go home and celebrate the New Year. You gave away the benefits. How generous of you." Yan Bugui said.

"Uncle Yan, goodbye!" Cao Dongfang didn't want to say anything more and went home.

"Mom, you're back early today." Cao Dongfang said when he saw his mother was also at home.

"I had nothing to do at work. Each person was given three taels of meat and they came back. I gave mine away and didn't take it back. Three taels of meat is too little." said Cao's mother.

"I gave two kilograms of pork belly, and I also gave two kilograms of flour to Uncle Yu." Cao Dongfang said.

"There are much more than us. There's no point in staying. You and I will make dumplings in the afternoon. After dinner, Yu Shui will also go back." said Cao's mother.

"No need, I can do it by myself. I make dumplings and buns quickly. You can take a rest." Cao Dongfang said.

"Can you do it alone?" asked Cao's mother.

"no problem!"

“It’s just a New Year’s Eve dinner!”

Then do it yourself. If you are too busy, I will help you!

......

It’s another New Year’s Eve dinner!

I'm one year older! Time flies!

This is my eighth year here!

Dinner for three people, eight dishes and one soup remain the same. Two cold dishes, six hot dishes, one soup, if you can't finish it, you can give it away.

It’s still early, so let’s have lunch first and then think about the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Just as we were about to finish our meal, there was chaos in the Central Courtyard again, with everyone running around in confusion. No one knew what had happened.

He Yushui and Cao Jiajia both took a steamed bun with steak and Cao's mother. Cao Dongfang said something and ran out to watch the fun!

"These two children!" Cao's mother said helplessly.

......

What happened!

In the middle court, Jia Zhang finally beat someone up. The person she beat up was——

Xu Damao!

Under the halo of his father Xu Fugui, Xu Damao behaved himself for a few years after graduating from high school, working as an apprentice and a projectionist.

He often went out with Xu Fugui to the countryside to show movies, and was made a full-time employee in September this year.

Cao Dongfang was basically not in Siheyuan in the second half of the year, so he didn't see Xu Damao and didn't know his recent situation.

Today he went back to the countryside with his father. When he came back to change clothes, there was a pound and a half of meat distributed in the car. It was not all pork belly, but half of it was lean meat.

That's meat too!

Xu Damao was promoted to a regular employee and became a bit arrogant. Unlike Xu Fugui, the shady old man, Xu Damao was also a talkative person.

When Bang Geng entered the courtyard, he saw Xu Damao's meat and his mouth was watering.

Seeing this, Xu Damao was filled with evil intentions and said, "Call me daddy." I'll give you this piece of pork belly to make braised pork.

Faced with the temptation of meat, Bang Geng hesitated. Bang Geng really hesitated. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so he was really hesitant.

When Xu Damao saw this, he started to raise the stakes again and said to Bang Geng, "Bang Geng, call me daddy. All this meat is yours. You can have a good meal. Don't give it to your grandma. What do you think, Bang Geng——

Calling dad three times is enough! "

So...so Xu Damao was in trouble, Jia Zhang rushed out of the house and fought with Xu Damao!

Everyone in the compound was alarmed and came out to see what was happening. When they saw that it was Jia Zhangshi fighting Xu Damao, they thought they were both bad cowards and no one cared about them.

Watch the fun!

Don’t be fooled by Xu Damao’s tall and strong appearance, the food at his home is also good!

But Xu Damao is really not good enough, let alone fighting with Sha Zhu, even fighting with Jia Zhangshi...

He can't do anything!

Being chased and beaten in the yard by Jia Zhang!

It's so embarrassing!
