I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Why did you think of inviting Master Niu and Master Pian to dinner?"

"If you run into them, treat them to a meal if you have nothing to do. It's almost eight o'clock and they are still working for you. They really work hard to make money."

Cao Dongfang nodded, "It's eight o'clock. It's not easy to still make money and work so hard. I'll come over to cook and make more mutton!"

"The famine will soon be over, and you two don't have to risk your lives too much. You are old now, and it's time to save some money for yourself!"

"Don't worry about them. What about you? They know everything. Just treat them to a meal!"

"Having a meal is no big deal. Xu Huizhen's tavern is still half-dead. It's quite funny that she is looking for acquaintances everywhere to go to her tavern!" Chen Xueru seemed very happy.

"Just work hard and eat well at home! Xu Hui's affairs are really not important. You can just enjoy her affairs quietly at home."

"That's right. I drink red wine at home, which is much better than the loose wine in the pub. I'm not in the mood to go to her place. Let's talk about it in the summer!

I was worried about her, not secretly happy. "Chen Xueru was quite stubborn.

“You decide!”

......

Cao Dongfang returned home the next day and did not go to work. He just "saw" the three new families who had just moved in through his spiritual consciousness!

do not know!

Never seen it before!

These people were newly recruited after the expansion of the steel mill!

The three hostesses were similar to the people living in Cui Dake’s room. They were not eye-catching. I had never seen them in my previous life. They were not stars. These four young couples were not actors. They looked—

It's much worse than Qin Jingru.

After living in Qin Huairu's house for a few days, Qin Jingru finally realized that the life of city people is not much better than that of the countryside!

The food at Cao Dongfang's house is much better than that of ordinary citizens. The food is so good that Qin Jingru can't forget it all. She is ready to have another meal at it if she gets a chance, and she can exchange it for work!

As for what good things there are in the countryside? She really couldn't think of it, or she had never been to the pigeon market or the black market, and had never compared them!

Cao Dongfang knew that all kinds of goods in the countryside were actually very cheap, otherwise how would the people in the car team make money? It would be by making the difference!

As for some of them being illegal, who cares? If they are done well, it won’t be illegal, so they won’t.

Only if you have money can you buy tickets in the Pigeon Market and buy the things you need!

Most people don’t tell them!

they do not know!

Working in a fleet also has its advantages. People who travel all over the country have a lot of experience and are very clear about the prices of many commodities. It is not difficult to make a profit from the difference!

The Qin sisters don’t understand, so they deserve to suffer!

The four new families didn't dare to cause any trouble. They were unfamiliar with the place and were youngsters in the compound, so they were all relatively honest!

What's more, in this compound there is General Cao Dongfang, who is famous but they have never seen him. Even the leaders of the steel rolling mill dare not provoke him!

What’s more, they are just young people!

......

"Dongfang, after you come back this time, will you go out and hunt before the New Year?" Pian Ye met Cao Dongfang when he arrived at Chen Xueru's house at five o'clock.

“No need to go out, no need to hunt, I have the meat stored in the national cold storage.

I took it back on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year and divided it up. It’s too early to keep it. Does Lord Niu need it?

"I want some meat. There are so many people during the New Year and we need a lot of meat. There is meat on the market this year, but it is not enough. I'll buy some from you!" Grandpa Niu said with a smile.

"No problem, I have a lot of meat, and I also left tens of thousands of pounds for the steel mill.

It’s just a small gift for the New Year, and it’s hard work to collect wine for me! "Cao Dongfang agreed happily.

"It's not that hard, but Pian Ye and I have made a lot of money, at least we have gotten through the difficult past two years, otherwise -

It’s hard to say whether it’s good or bad, the price of flour has risen to four yuan and meat has risen to five yuan, which is even higher than what you said!

Who can afford it!

"I guess he won't die of hunger, but he will die of greed!" said Mr. Niu.

"Brother Dongfang can do it."

Niu Ye: “…”

Pian Ye: “…”

Damn it! Chen Xueru, you are sabotaging us again. Cao Dongfang deserves our trust!

I am talking about ordinary people. Do you understand what ordinary people are? They do not include you, the petty bourgeoisie!

"I was just joking with you two, chatting and drinking later. It's only five o'clock!" Chen Xueru laughed.

"Mom, I'm back!" Hou Kui shouted as soon as he opened the door.

"Hello Uncle Dongfang, hello Niu Niu, hello Pian Ye!" Hou Kui greeted them hurriedly when he saw the three of them.

"Hello, Hou Kui!"

"Hello, Hou Kui!"

"Hello, Hou Kui!"

Cao Dongfang and the other two responded with a smile.

Aunt Wu also followed in, nodded to the three of them, and said nothing!

The three of them didn't care. This wet nurse was not much different from a mute, except that she had a mouth and didn't like to talk.

Cao Dongfang, "Hou Kui, the cakes and drinks are in your room, eat less cakes, there will be fried chicken and mutton!"

"Thank you Uncle Dongfang!" Hou Kui thanked him and rushed to his room to eat cake.

"What delicious food is there that requires such a rush?" Chen Xueru said.

......

"The kids like it, why bother so much?" Cao Dongfang said. "Now that the grain supply is almost stable, the wine harvest will be easier!"

"Almost. There is no obvious change yet. We probably have to wait for a few more months. The New Year is coming soon and the prices in the pigeon market have risen again!" Uncle Niu guessed.

"It seems to have gone up again. I heard from the people in the shop that white flour is two dollars and fifty cents again, good pork is almost three dollars, and a big chicken is five dollars!

It’s so tingling!

"It will take time. It will take two years to fully recover from a disaster. It's OK as long as it's better than last year. At least we can buy enough food!

A few pounds short in a month is a small matter, just buy some or - go hungry for a few meals, no big deal! "Cao Dongfang doesn't think that he will recover immediately after the disaster.

"It's uncomfortable to go hungry for a few meals. It's better to have enough food! Haven't our original food rations been restored in the East?" Pian'erye was hungry before.

“We don’t know when it will take for recovery. After a disaster, things will stabilize in one to two years, but it’s not going to happen now.”

“We are still a few kilograms short of food now, but it will be almost there after recovery, and we still have a job.

We can afford to wait. No one has starved to death in these three years. That’s happiness! "Master Niu was a little emotional.

"We are doing well here. My son's place is a little worse off, but no one has starved to death yet. The northeast region is also suffering from the disaster," said Pian Ye.

"It's a good thing to be alive in the disaster year. There is hope as long as you are alive!" Cao Dongfang was very calm about this.

"That's right. Survive first, then think about other things." Uncle Niu agreed.

That’s the truth!

......

"Dongfang, is it true that Jia Zhang from your hospital was sentenced to three years in prison? For what reason?" asked Uncle Niu.

"She was sentenced to three years. She instigated her grandson Bang Geng to steal things from He Daqing's house. She was caught red-handed and was bitten by her grandson. She refused to plead guilty. The sentence is too light! She should be imprisoned until death!

It's a disaster if it comes out! "

Niu Ye: “…”

Pian Ye: “…”

Jia Zhang’s popularity is terrible. If someone steals something, he will be sentenced to death!

This old shrew is really a piece of shit, no one on the street looks up to her!

Die or die!

......

"Uncle Niu, Uncle Pian, I'm going to fry some chicken and prepare dinner. You guys drink first, I'll be there soon!" Cao Dongfang said as he went to the kitchen to fry some chicken.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms and mutton soup were served first, both in two pots, with a lot of ingredients and very solid. After a while, steamed fish and sweet and sour pork tenderloin were served.

"Hou Kui, the food for you and Wu Ma is in the kitchen. Take it to your room and eat it. We're drinking here!" Chen Xueru called Hou Kui.

"I got it, Mom. I'll get it!" Hou Kui replied.

"Xue Ru, let Hou Kui eat together. There are a lot of food here." said Uncle Niu.

"No need, their meals have been served, enough for Hou Kui and Wu Ma. Let's just drink and ignore them!" Chen Xueru said with a smile.

Fried chicken, fried fish, Zi Yang steamed buns and a portion of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall were all ready. There were not many dishes, but they were solid and enough for everyone to eat!

“The dishes cooked in the East are delicious, there are lots of lamb and chicken stewed with mushrooms!

Can’t finish it!

I can’t finish it at all! "

"If you can't finish it, pack it up. Eat more. You've worked hard for a year, so it's almost New Year and you should have something delicious. Hou Kui has all these. Don't worry about them, let's eat!" Chen Xueru didn't care.

"Thank you Xueru and Dongfang!" Uncle Niu and Uncle Pian expressed their gratitude.

"You're welcome, both of you! Eating and drinking well is the most important thing!" Chen Xueru said. "Come on, everyone, clink glasses!"

Pianerye drank a glass of wine and said, "Dongfang, the Grain Bureau shot three people. Have you heard about it?"

“No, I just came back!”

"It's grain reselling again. The state has given a heavier sentence this time. A deputy director and two store managers under him colluded to resell less than 20 tons of grain!"

"Another time he eats alone! Such a person deserves death!

Selling food now is courting death! "

Cao Dongfang doesn't like people who eat alone.
