Xu Erlong saw his expression in his eyes and thought to himself, remember to give the guard a cigarette when he turned around to avoid making things difficult for him.
As agreed, Wang Bolin did not come forward to select the eel to the dining group, but just called someone over to weigh it.
The person who weighed the scale was a young man with a round face. He knew that the people who came here were related to each other, so he didn't make any trouble. He just checked it casually and passed the scale.
It was fifty-six kilograms in total, and the other party didn't care too much if it was more or less. After putting it in the warehouse, he wrote a receipt to Xu Erlong and asked him to take it to the finance office to collect the money.
Because of Wang Bolin's relationship, the eel given to him was charged at 50 cents, which was considered a great favor.
Xu Erlong went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a bottle of Bamboo Leaf Green and two packs of Daqianmen.
On the fork to the right of the factory gate, there are countless small stalls. There are vegetable farmers nearby selling vegetables from their own fields, and some are selling eggs.
The nearby residents, who are smart and discerning, set up stalls here selling melon seeds and peanuts, steamed buns and steamed buns, and cold noodles with jelly.
Gradually a small market was formed.
After all, in a large factory with thousands of people, so many workers need to eat and drink.
Moreover, these stalls do not require various tickets.
Xu Erlong walked around and first sat down in front of a stall selling hand-cooked rice noodles. He ate a bowl of red-oiled hand-cooked rice noodles and chatted casually with the boss for a while. He knew that most of the people setting up stalls here were family members of the factory, because there was such a place.
Because of the high-level relationship, there are generally few people to drive them away.
I paid 15 cents, and soon, a large bowl of red oil was served steaming hot to the small table.
Xu Erlong stretched out his hand to mix it and looked at the half bowl of side dishes below, and couldn't help but laugh.
These days, meat is expensive, rice and noodles are expensive, and these small business owners are reluctant to use more materials in order to do business.
But in order to make the bowl look substantial, the chef would place half a bowl of vegetables underneath, which is called "bowl lining".
Xu Erlong was hungry, so he took the chopsticks, mixed the chopsticks, and started eating them directly.
After breakfast, Xu Erlong bought half a catty of salted peanuts, half a catty of pig head meat, and half a catty of strange-flavored gourd beans, and went back to the factory.
This time, he took out the prepared big front door and handed it to the doorman politely: "Master, come here, have a cigarette."
Seeing that it was the front door, the other party's face became much better and he accepted the cigarette.
Xu Erlong took out the match and helped him light the cigarette.
Just a little smoke, and the relationship instantly became much closer.
"You're a good boy. Now you've got a relationship with the food group." The doorman said.
Xu Erlong smiled and said: "There is no other way. The family is too poor to open the pot, so we have to find some way."
After chatting with the guard for a while, I found out that his surname was Chen, and soon he called me Brother Chen, who was very affectionate.
This cigarette is not in vain. At least, it is registered with Chen guard. I believe that he will not stop him when he comes in and out in the future.
After Xu Erlong said goodbye to him, he went to Wang Bolin's house and made a special trip to wait for Wang Bolin to come back from get off work and have two drinks together.
"Brother, what are you doing? Come to my place and ask you to bring wine and food?" Wang Bolin said.
Xu Erlong smiled: "I know you are good at cooking, but you cook in the dining group every day. It would be good to try these snacks outside." Xu Erlong said.
Wang Bolin brought a small stool and sat at the door with Xu Erlong drinking Doudou wine.
Yesterday, when he helped introduce the catering group business, Wang Bolin just wanted to return the favor and did not want to have a deep friendship with Xu Erlong.
But now, looking at this young man, he is quite good at his young age.
Xu Erlong didn't say anything else, he just chatted with Wang Bolin for a while.
While chatting, Wang Bolin was quite surprised: "Little brother, at such a young age, you have traveled so far?"
You know, these days, it’s hard to move anywhere without an introduction. How can he, a young man, travel to so many places?
Xu Erlong knew he was telling the truth.
In the past life, who didn't take a spontaneous trip, starting from a place where you were tired of living, and going to a place where others were tired of living.
But now, this seems a bit excessive.
"Actually, I haven't been to so many places. It's just that I have an aunt who lives in the provincial capital. I often go to her place to play and listen to her boasts." Xu Erlong found an excuse to justify himself.
"Oh, that's pretty much it." Wang Bolin believed it.
Xu Erlong chatted for a while without interrupting, and stood up to leave.
Drinking is not a purpose, it is just a means to maintain interpersonal relationships.
He didn't know that earlier, when he went out to eat, buy cigarettes and alcohol, these things were reported back to the production team and to the ears of the Xu family by the meddlesome people.
The Xu family felt unhappy and thought that Xu Erlong, mother and son, had separated and had nothing. After two days of hard life, they could only come back in despair.
Who would have expected that he would be eating and drinking outside while also buying cigarettes and wine?
"I just said, why are they so determined to separate the family and live in another life? They already have money on hand." Mrs. Xu said bitterly.
"Where did Erlong get all this money?" Zhou Fengru wondered.
Mrs. Xu turned to Xu Dongsheng and asked, "Did you save some private money and leave it to him?"
Xu Dongsheng frowned. He worked as a stonemason and gave all the money he earned to his mother.
He didn't say anything, and Mrs. Xu was even more angry: "Okay, Xu Dongsheng, you are the boss, but you are actually doing it in secret and in disguise. You have long wanted to separate the family. Are you going to make me angry to death?"
Zhou Fengru glanced at him and whispered: "I believe that eldest brother is not such a person."
Xu Dongsheng turned around and walked out with a livid face.
He knew that Zhang Jinfang and the others were now living in the safekeeping room, and he had to ask her if she had hidden any private money.
Xu Erlong came back from the county town. It was a little late today. There was no meat and he only bought a bunch of sausages.
In fact, the sausage is quite delicious. Whether it is braised or braised, the taste is amazing. However, it is more troublesome to clean.
He washed the intestines several times by the river and carried them home.
Before entering the village entrance, I saw a circle of people surrounding the storage room.
Zhang Jinfang's pleading and Xiaoling's cries came from inside.
"If you didn't save your personal money, where did the rice and noodles come from?"
Zhang Jinfang defended pitifully: "I really haven't saved any private money. You haven't given me any money in these years. How can I save any money?"
Xiaoling wiped away her tears and cried: "Really, dad, my brother really brought these things back. Mom didn't lie to you."
problem occurs.
Xu Erlong pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.
Zhang Jinfang was seen kneeling on the ground, with a look of grievance and fear on his face.
"You won't tell the truth, right? Zhang Jinfang, it seems that you won't tell the truth without being beaten." Xu Dongsheng gritted his teeth and slapped him.
