Liu Hongchang and Yang Maixiang were making egg noodles in the kitchen. Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying, who were in the room, also basically explained their itinerary to the provincial capital.
By the time Liu Hongchang sat down and prepared to eat, the three of them had already talked about their experiences in the provincial capital.
"Hongchang, how is the provincial capital? Your brother and sister-in-law didn't even visit the provincial capital. You were the only one who went shopping in the provincial capital." Wang Cuilan was quite interested in the provincial capital.
After all, I have always lived in Ningzhou, so I am curious about other places.
I only learned about the outside world through newspapers, and the more I learned about it, the more curious I became.
This means that the more you know, the more curious you become.
I would like to see those places that exist in newspapers.
"It's very good. It's much more prosperous than our Ningzhou. When I have more free time, I will take you to the provincial capital to see and walk around."
A few years ago, it was inconvenient to go out, so most people would not go out of their way to travel.
At most, there are only some relatives from out of town. While visiting relatives, we can also have some fun.
"You want to take me to the provincial capital. Is there nothing going on if I go?" Wang Cuilan was obviously moved. It's just that ordinary people in this era don't have the consciousness to go out for fun. Running out when there is nothing to do is a bit like not doing anything serious.
"It's just for fun. Next time, Mai Xiang, I will have you, and the three of us will go to the provincial capital together."
"Since we are all going, why don't Boss and Xiaoying go?"
"Even if they didn't go shopping much, they stayed in the provincial capital for more than ten days. The provincial capital was no longer attractive to them."
The provincial capital is very sad for the couple. After returning this time, the couple should stay at home peacefully for a while and not go out.
"We'll talk about this later. Let's eat first. After dinner, Hong Chang, please send the wheat Xiang back."
When Liu Hongchang comes back, there is no need for Yang Maixiang to still live in Liu's house. There is no place to live. She must go back to her own home.
The atmosphere during the meal today was pretty good.
In other words, Liu Yunchang and Wu Xiaoying were in a bit of a downturn. They encountered setbacks when they went out and didn't get what they wanted.
But the two of them went to the hospital and left in a fit of excitement, only to return disappointed so many times.
There is still some resistance to this aspect.
When I came back from overseas, I still felt the joy of returning home and seeing each other again, and the conversation was quite lively.
After being separated for seventy or eighty days, it can be regarded as a reunion after a long separation.
After all, the family had never been separated from each other for such a long time before.
"Where's the surprise you prepared for me?" After finishing the meal and clearing the table, Yang Maixiang was about to go home and urged her.
"Wait, I'll get it for you."
Liu Hongchang went to pick up the bag he brought back and took it out again.
"This is yours." The clothes were given to Yang Maixiang. "This is for your parents." These are some pastries. Preserved fruits are a specialty of the provincial capital. It is more or less a wish.
"What is this, a long skirt?"
"Yes, I bought you a skirt. You can try it on yourself when you get home. If it doesn't fit, you can change it yourself."
Making and altering clothes by yourself is a basic skill for women in this era.
The cost of buying a suit of fabric and making it yourself versus buying ready-made clothes can be half the price.
If a woman does not know how to make her own clothes, the annual cost of clothing for a family will cost at least nearly a hundred yuan more.
If the family is very poor and one person cannot even afford one set of thick and thin clothes for a year.
Women should master these skills. They can sew or mend old clothes or make them larger or smaller. They must also be good at needlework.
"Comrade Liu Hongchang, you have made some progress. You can buy gifts now, and you still miss my parents."
Yang Maixiang put the clothes down on her body after gesturing twice.
The Yang family's conditions are good, and Yang Maixiang herself has a job to earn wages.
Compared with these substances, mind is still more important.
"I still understand this bit about human nature."
"Seeing that you're doing well, I'll tell you about it. My aunt wouldn't let me tell you originally."
"What's the matter? You're so mysterious, and my mother won't let you tell me?"
Liu Hongchang was a little confused. Wang Cuilan was very good to Liu Hongchang, so how could she hide anything from Liu Hongchang?
"I'll tell you when we go out." Yang Maixiang glanced outside, worried that Wang Cuilan would hear it.
So Liu Hongchang took a net bag, packed the things and sent Yang Maixiang home.
"He Wenhui came to look for you at home during your absence. He went to your cafeteria and couldn't find you, so he came home again." Yang Maixiang put away her smile and said with a serious expression.
Telling Liu Hongchang this, the girl must have gone through a lot of struggle.
"He Wenhui, why is she looking for me? I have nothing to do with her family at all?" Liu Hongchang asked.
"I don't know. When I asked her, she didn't tell her what it was. She just said, let us tell you that when you come back, you can go find her."
"Okay, I get it."
"You know what it means. You can go find her tomorrow, right?"
Seeing how readily Liu Hongchang responded, Yang Maixiang was not too happy.
"Why am I looking for her? My current partner is you and not her, so how can I still listen to her?"
When Liu Hongchang was He Wenhui's dog licker, of course he could come and go as soon as He Wenhui called him.
But now that Liu Hongchang doesn't want to lick He Wenhui, how can he go and find her if he is asked to find her?
"Then if you don't go, what if something really happens to her?"
Seeing Liu Hongchang's resolute attitude, Yang Maixiang pretended to be pregnant again.
Even though she has a more cheerful personality, Yang Maixiang is still a girl and still has various little thoughts.
"She's fine if something happens. What does it have to do with me? I'm not their son-in-law anymore."
"You are now more cruel. Why were you so devoted to her family?"
Going to the He family as a "son-in-law" made him more filial and responsible than when he was a son in the old Liu family. This can be regarded as Liu Hongchang's dark history.
"Why do you keep bringing it up about what happened before? Let's walk faster and you go home early. We haven't lived at home for several days. Your parents should miss you."
When men and women get along, they can't keep talking about ex-wives and ex-girlfriends. Talking too much can easily lead to problems.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s easy to talk about something without having anything to do.
Liu Hongchang chose to send Yang Maixiang home early to put an end to the party.
"Brother, are you back from the provincial capital?"
The next day, Liu Hongchang went back to work in the No. 2 Canteen, and returned to Ningzhou from the provincial capital. It was definitely not close, and it was not far either. He had not left the province. He could not get anywhere even after a few hours of driving.
Need to take another extra day of rest to repair.
"I'm back. I've been away for the past few days. How are you?" Liu Hongchang asked Liu Zi when he asked the others.
The relationship between colleagues in this era is still better than in the future.
After all, this is a public institution, and the relationship between colleagues is stable.
We have been together for many years, so our relationship is naturally relatively deep.
"It's okay. One person is missing and it will definitely be a lot more tiring. When I was overwhelmed, Director Yao even took action himself." Su Hou replied from the side.
"Then the customers are lucky because they can all eat the food cooked by the cadres."
Since Yao Guofa became the canteen director and a cadre, he has basically stopped touching these pots and pans.
Although the official position is not big, the deputy subjects are not enough.
In other words, they are stock-level cadres with the characteristics of an era, but their spectrum is not small.
No matter how small a cadre is, he is still a cadre, and Yao Guofa is very conscious.
Consciously, I completely broke away from frontline work and stayed away from the stove.
Although Yao Guofa's craftsmanship is average, it is no better than Su Hou and Master Qin.
But the status definitely needs to add some points, and it will bring comfort to my heart.
This canteen director should be on the same level as the head chef and head chef of the hotel in the future.
If you say you are a head chef and the chef cooks it, you will get an impression point first.
"Da Liu, as soon as you came back, you started whispering about me again."
Someone continued what Liu Hongchang said.
"Old Yao, you are a ghost. Why are you walking silently and suddenly you jumped out from behind!"
The person who answered Liu Hongchang's words was Yao Guofa. Under normal circumstances, Yao Guofa would come to the unit early and go to the office to work. When people came out, he would come out of the office.
Now that he suddenly came in from the outside, it was quite sudden for Liu Hongchang.
"When you come back, work hard and don't murmur about this or that."
As soon as he came back, Yao Guofa went back to the office.
"Brother, ever since I started working on the stove, Director Yao has been coming in later every day." Watching Yao Guofa enter the office, Liu Zi whispered to Liu Hongchang.
"I understand. After all, cooking on the stove is much more tiring than sitting in the office."
Yao Guofa was obviously tired and needed more rest, so he didn't have the energy to come to work early.
It was right for Liu Hongchang to leave for a while and let Yao Guofa experience the hard work of the masses again.
Yao Guofa was the last person to come to the canteen today. After arriving, it was time to go to work within a few minutes.
People stopped gathering together to chat and began to work formally.
Things were still going on in the cafeteria as before. Liu Hongchang had only been away for a few days, so the cafeteria would not be much different from before.
Steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings and various other pastas should be prepared as early as possible.
After joining forces, Liu Hongchang was captured by Yao Guofa again.
As long as the purchase quantity is large, Liu Hongchang is indispensable every time.
Liu Hongchang has been away for a long time, and there are a lot of dried and fresh food in the canteen that need to be stocked up.
Yao Guofa still sent Liu Hongchang to do the physical work. Of course, others could do it, but it was obviously a bit reluctant.
Liu Hongchang still chose to take his six sons out for shopping.
"Liuzi, are you short of money?" Liu Hongchang started to ask Liuzi after leaving the second cafeteria.
On this trip, Liu Hongchang used the money to make another one.
I walked out with more than 300 yuan, but came back with less than 50 yuan left.
With only such a small amount of money left, it can be said that it has reached the warning line and has begun to make people feel insecure. It is time to make money again.
No matter what you do to make money, it is better to find a helper.
Liu Hongchang set his sights on his six disciples.
This child has good character and is safe to have around him.
"Brother, you are short of money. As you know, I don't have much. I just have this little money. I will give it to you tomorrow."
Liu Zi obviously thought that Liu Hongchang wanted to borrow money by asking this question.
This kid was also unambiguous. If Liu Hongchang needed to borrow money, Liuzi would really borrow it.
These are all the consequences of the collusion between Liu Hongchang and the He family some time ago.
After Liu Hongchang met He Wenhui, he had a difficult time and needed to borrow money.
"What do I need your money for? I'm short of money, but I don't want to borrow money. I just want to make more money."
"I want to make more money. Brother, do you want to go out and take over the banquet? If you want to do that, let's not rob Su Hou this time. I can help you get the job."
Liuzi is quite smooth-talking, but he is actually a businessman.
The last time it was Liu Hongchang who wanted money, he was very anxious.
He didn't have time to give orders to the six sons, so he just snatched Su Hou's job.
"This makes so little money. Three or five yuan a time is not enough."
The wages in Ningzhou are really not high. To cook a table for someone, depending on the number and complexity of the dishes, you can charge three to five yuan.
This kind of job cannot be available every day, and it is also impossible not to go home every day after get off work and pick up private work.
Finding a partner after get off work is also very important to Liu Hongchang.
Therefore, Liu Hongchang had no interest in this job that paid tens of dollars a month.
"This is already a lot. Our monthly salary is only a few dollars. When we go out, we only cook a table and do a lot of work in the cafeteria."
Liu Zi is comparing part-time jobs with his own job.
Liu Hongchang works in the cafeteria for one day, and the average monthly salary is only two yuan a day.
Based on this workload comparison, the price of private work is certainly quite high, but it is still cost-effective to a certain extent.
"Liuzi, how can we compare these things together? Although the salary in the cafeteria is relatively small, the cafeteria will give you a job. Although the salary in private work outside is high, it is not often."
The wages of many part-time workers are higher on a daily basis than the wages of regular workers in the company.
But the reason why these jobs are not popular is that there is no guarantee.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No one wants to do the hard work that costs two yuan a day outside.
But in every unit, in any factory, a group of people robbed the apprenticeship quota of thirty yuan a month.
"Although Li'er is such a rationale, the market conditions outside are different now. Even though your craftsmanship is better, the price can't be too high."
"Forget it, I don't expect to make money from this. It's okay to cook in the cafeteria when I'm at work. I can't cook after get off work."
Although Liu Hongchang does like cooking and also likes to cook his own dishes.
But this should be done in moderation and not too much.
No matter how much you like something, you will get bored if you have too much of it.
Beautiful scenery will become dull if there are too many of it.
Even if you play a game every day, you will get bored after playing it for a long time.
"But brother, you are a cook. If you don't make money by cooking, how else can you make money by making money." Liuzi continued Liu Hongchang's words casually.
"Who said your brother, I only have one skill: cooking, but your brother, I have many more skills!"
After listening to Liuzi's words, Liu Hongchang finally figured out how to make money.
When you can't do business openly, all you make is craft money.
Liu Hongchang not only knows how to cook, but also has many skills.
"Brother, you know how to make furniture. We can take over the job and help others make furniture. This can make money. Hey... why should we help others make furniture? We can make it ourselves and sell the finished furniture."
Liu Zi also said as if he had figured it out and had a sudden realization.
"It depends on the situation. Your brother and I make high-end furniture. We may not meet people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it."
Furniture can be an alternative. Liu Hongchang will definitely not sell his skills at the price of ordinary carpenters.
