This time he can stay in Bianhe for a period of time, which is more time than when Gu Zhaocheng came to the city several times before.
Gu Zhaocheng was not in such a hurry, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
There is no need to rush for anything.
Taking his time and leisurely, he asked for a high price and sold all the fish he had stored before.
Another harvest of nearly 2,000 yuan was achieved. In this way, I sold fish several times, plus the system's subsistence allowance.
Excluding the several wages paid by Gu Zhaocheng to Na Cunhua, Gu Zhaocheng's personal savings also exceeded 5,000.
This money is not too small in this day and age. In the forest farm, many employees have worked for more than ten or twenty years.
If I really had to dig out my family fortune, I might not be able to get 5,000 yuan.
For a family like Lao Gu's, there won't be much difference between the savings and this figure.
Although the Gu family has a large population, Gu Changshan does not smoke or drink alcohol, so he is considered a frugal family.
Families with only such a small amount of savings can actually say that they have no ability to resist risks.
As long as nothing happens to the family, they can live a peaceful life.
If you encounter a slightly serious illness, your home will be empty.
Liu Yuliang, a self-motivated father, has been working at the forest farm for eight years and has worked diligently.
They not only earn wages, but also hunt for mountain goods, and even engage in poaching in the face of crime.
Ordinary animals dare to be poached, but protected animals also dare to do so.
Moreover, he only raised one child. After eight years, he could only save 6,000 yuan for Liu Ziqiang.
"Xingjie, you didn't eat much at school, okay? Look at the menu and order whatever you want."
After processing the fish, Gu Zhaocheng came to the city's Forestry High School to visit Xingjie.
I called someone to a small restaurant near the school.
After the weather became less cold, it was time for the final sprint of the college entrance examination.
Now there are basically only a hundred days left before the college entrance examination.
Xingjie didn't go back to the forest farm that frequently. Most of the time, he chose to live on campus.
After all, living on campus saves time.
After living on campus, everything is obviously not as good as home.
Not to mention where you live, sleeping in a dormitory with ten people is not as comfortable as sleeping on a warm kang at home.
This can be regarded as the result of the forestry department, which was relatively wealthy in the past few years and built good schools.
If it had been a few years earlier, it wouldn't have been strange for these students to sleep in Datong bungalows.
The food is not that good either. In a school like this, everything is cooked in a big pot, and taste is never the focus.
If a certain level of cleanliness and hygiene can be ensured, that would be considered good.
The most important thing is that Xingjie himself is relatively frugal.
Free soup, free boiled water, steamed buns or rice, and some pickles.
Or a portion of the cheapest boiled cabbage and radish is Xingjie’s daily routine.
When I was at Lao Gu's house, the food was not very good and I was mostly vegetarian.
But Na Cunhua will try his best to make the dishes taste better and richer. Usually, there will be some supplements such as bone soup, fish soup, eggs, and soy products.
Now that Gu Zhaocheng has handed over his salary, the old Gu family can buy some meat every few days to improve the food for everyone.
Compared with before, Xingjie's life at school was really a bit difficult.
"Brother, let's just eat whatever we want. In fact, our school's cafeteria is also pretty good."
Xingjie looked at the menu and thought it was quite expensive, much more expensive than the school cafeteria. He didn't want to eat out.
Even if the school cafeteria fails in many aspects, the most important thing is that it is cheap and affordable.
"My eldest brother finally came to the city. I'm thinking about the restaurant where you want me to eat next time. Since you don't want to order it, I'll order it for you."
It has been several months since this time travel, and Gu Zhaocheng has not even been to a serious restaurant.
While he was improving Xingjie, Gu Zhaocheng was also preparing to start eating meat on his own.
Gu Zhaocheng, a temporary worker, was trained in the bureau, and even though he didn't have to spend money on meals.
But the people who come here for training are at the bottom of the bureau’s food chain.
Most of the people participating in the training this time were temporary workers.
These units are already different from the simplicity of forest farms. They are always willing to take advantage of the highs and lows. The lower the status, the worse the food, which is inevitable.
Even if the ingredients are almost the same and the cook is perfunctory in cooking and just cooks them well, there is nothing we can do about it.
"Boss, what dish is the best in your store? Can you recommend it to me?"
Gu Zhaocheng called the boss over.
The small restaurant only has a business area of a few dozen square meters. It is the simplest mom-and-pop shop. It only employs two people and the restaurant is not big.
“Our chicken stewed with mushrooms is the best.”
"I don't want this dish."
No matter how good the chicken stewed with mushrooms in the city is, it is not as delicious as the stewed free-range chickens and wild hazel mushrooms in a forest farm using earthen stoves.
"Pork in pot, braised pork ribs."
The reason why the three northeastern provinces have always been collectively referred to as one unit is that they are not only outside Shanhaiguan, but also have similar environments and habits in all aspects, which is also an important reason.
Even the tastes of residents in various provinces are very similar, but there are some differences in details.
“These two dishes are good, I’ll take them.”
“Pork vermicelli, braised pork slices, and fat sausage.”
"Please have some pork vermicelli. Are there any vegetarian dishes..."
"Brother, these are almost enough for us to eat." Xingjie reminded from the side.
Gu Zhaocheng thought about the amount of food in the Northeast. It was really difficult for two people to eat four hard dishes. Even two young guys who were growing up couldn't eat four plates of meat:
"Forget about braised pork vermicelli, let's have some stir-fried cauliflower and some green beans and braised eggplant."
For forest areas, vegetables in this season are rare.
Based on the conditions of the old Gu family, they would not often buy high-priced greenhouse vegetables to eat.
What I eat most are potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and some dried vegetables such as dried beans and eggplants that are easy to store.
"Brother, this is a bit much."
"There's so much, but this isn't much. Look at how thin you've become during this time."
Using your brain has always been a very consuming task.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who use their brains too much, and they can’t gain weight no matter how much they eat.
"I haven't lost anything, I just don't wear as much as before, and I look thinner."
Xingjie reluctantly explained.
"Xingjie, my elder brother bought you a set of exercises and some milk powder biscuits. If you want to study at night, you can eat them when you are hungry."
Gu Zhaocheng did not force Xingjie to be fat.
This is something that parents will emphasize that they care about. Gu Zhaocheng has mentioned it and reminds me that he will not worry about it all the time.
Xingjie was only one year younger than Gu Zhaocheng, and he was already an adult with a very independent mind. Gu Zhaocheng could not regard Xingjie as a child, only a younger brother.
At the last minute of the college entrance examination, it is normal for students to lose weight. How can they cross the single-plank bridge without making some sacrifices?
"Brother, I asked you to worry about it. You came to the city for training, and you even came to see me."
"It's nothing. I'm here just to see you. I didn't come from the forest farm specially. Have you contacted your mother recently?"
While the two of them were waiting for the food to be served, it felt uncomfortable to be so polite all the time. Gu Zhaocheng raised the topic and asked.
Gu Zhaocheng now somewhat understands Cunhua's feeling of being treated politely.
It's a little uncomfortable to be treated politely by someone you think of as one of your own.
"I talked to her on the phone some time ago."
Huang Xiaoping also went out for several months and did not come back during the Chinese New Year.
The evidence that I haven't forgotten my son is to give him a phone call once in a while.
Both parties still use the same phone number, so it is not easy to contact them.
Regardless of Gu Zhaocheng, the number of times the two of them talk to each other will never exceed one hand.
And even after contacting me, it was impossible to say too much.
Long-distance phone calls are still very expensive, with one minute of long-distance charges costing more than one yuan.
The financial situation of the mother and son obviously cannot afford this price.
Moreover, this can only be contacted unilaterally. Xingjie's position is relatively fixed. Huang Xiaoping can contact Xingjie whether it is a school or a forest farm.
Huang Xiaoping is wandering abroad and has no fixed residence. It is impossible for Xingjie to take the initiative to contact Huang Xiaoping.
For Xingjie, his mother has always been out of touch.
"Aunt Xiaoping is doing well outside, right? What is she doing outside now?"
Gu Zhaocheng continued to ask.
"It's not bad, I just sell health care products to people..."
In fact, Huang Xiaoping can be considered a "talent". In this era, a middle-aged woman who has reached middle age still dares to venture into the deep cities of the south alone. Her courage is worthy of praise.
Even if Huang Xiaoping was deceived and seduced by others, it is still very rare.
After all, many people have been deceived and seduced, and the forest farm is the only one that ran away to Shencheng.
There are so many laid-off young and middle-aged men in the forest farm, but few dare to leave the three northeastern provinces.
I think courage is worthy of recognition, but I don't have enough experience, knowledge, and brain. After I left, I didn't make the right choice.
If you have no ability and are restless, you will only end up being cheated.
It caught up with the early days of the barbaric development of health care products, and the illegal model of pyramid schemes was at its most popular.
It was unfortunate that I jumped in head first.
But there are still some lucky people here, and Huang Xiaoping did not let herself become one of them. In this industry, the first group of people still made a fortune.
But Huang Xiaoping got on the bus very early and rushed to a late market.
I haven’t learned the essence and haven’t spoken about it, and I haven’t developed it into the source.
It can be regarded as being a fool, helping others become capitalists, and making a contribution.
I went to Shencheng for so many years for nothing. I went to the place with the most opportunities at the best time, and even at the age of retirement, I still accomplished nothing.
One thing that can be somewhat comforting is that if you are incapable, you really are incapable.
He didn't have the ability to cause trouble. Although he didn't make much money, he didn't dig a big hole and get himself into it.
"Xingjie, I heard... I just heard that a new model has emerged in the south. This thing is like a virus, spreading from person to person...
I read the newspaper again a few days ago. This model will soon be made illegal. I don’t know if Aunt Xiaoping is doing this. Please make a mental note and remind Aunt Xiaoping to avoid being fooled.
."
It will be April soon, and the country will soon introduce laws to make the pyramid scheme illegal.
Chen Xingjie was a bookworm at this time and had little knowledge, so Gu Zhaocheng introduced MLM in detail.
If there were no legal provisions, it would be difficult for Gu Zhaocheng to be sure. Xingjie could determine the nature of this thing.
Gu Zhaocheng doesn't care what Huang Xiaoping does, it has nothing to do with Gu Zhaocheng.
But Huang Xiaoping herself was deceived and could not bear the temptation. She wanted to defraud Xingjie of the money in her hands. Gu Zhaocheng could not accept it.
The money in Xingjie's hands was used to go to college.
Xingjie went to college and had no money, so the Gu family had to pay.
Gu Zhaocheng didn't care about money, he was reluctant to give money to Xingjie from the old Gu family.
But this money should not be wasted by Huang Xiaoping.
This money is the accumulation of Xingjie's father, Chen Shangyou, from 20 years of logging, and the pension after he sacrificed his life for the forest farm. It is the wishes of everyone at Sandaogou Forest Farm, and there is no contribution from Huang Xiaoping.
When I went out for the first time, Huang Xiaoping had already taken some of it away.
It's really too much to want to leave everything right away.
"When my mom calls me again, I'll remind her."
"Aunt Xiaoping's side should be fine. If she doesn't pay, no one else will take her to play."
Compared with the future model of locking people up and forcibly brainwashing them.
At this stage, MLM methods are relatively mild.
It really means that if you don’t pay for yourself, others will dislike you and won’t let you play.
"My mother probably didn't have any money. She left most of her money to me before she left."
It cannot be said that Huang Xiaoping has no affection for Xingjie at all.
At least he didn't go completely crazy and take away all his family's savings.
This person is still unusual, far different from the ordinary women in the forest farm who think that children are everything.
What this person cares about most is always himself, and he does not regard his children as a burden to himself, which is the only conscience he has.
"Then just keep the money, and nothing will happen to Aunt Xiaoping." At this time, the classic pot-wrapped pork dish was also served on the table, thinking that this conversation was enough to make Xingjie laugh:
"Let's eat. You don't have to think so much. The most important thing now is studying."
It's enough to remind Xingjie to take care of his money.
Next, we still have to eat, although this is not particularly rich.
But for Gu Zhaocheng and Xingjie, it was also the best meal they had in recent times.
Gu Zhaocheng still likes to eat, and he also likes to eat different flavors and different things.
Guobaorou is a famous dish that is loved by men, women and children in Northeast China.
It still has its own uniqueness, sweet, sour and salty, rich in taste and distinct in layers.
Braised pork ribs is also a dish that most people like to eat.
In addition to the heavier taste of Northeastern cuisine, Northeastern cuisine can still be adapted to most regions.
Even if the taste is strong, it is also because it was made a long time ago.
People just know that if they don’t eat salt, they will have no strength, and they take it for granted that eating more salt will make them stronger.
Naturally, he developed a heavy mouth.
As for cauliflower, beans and eggplant, small shops also make good ones.
Northeastern cuisine is also willing to add oil and condiments.
Without paying attention to healthy eating, most dishes can be easily made and taste good with this method.
So most of the restaurants here taste pretty good.
