Chapter 59 Generous Rewards (First Update)
When he found Wang Dong, he said happily: "Xiao Wang..."
"Today's lunch was delicious..."
"I won't keep you company during this afternoon break..."
"Remember to come to my office when you get to work tomorrow. I have something important to tell you!"
Wang Dong didn't know that his status in Director Li's heart had risen to a higher level, but he knew that Director Li must have no bad intentions in looking for him, so he answered readily.
"Don't worry, Director..."
"I'll come to see you tomorrow morning..."
…………
Today is a day off for all factories and schools.
Uncle Yan Fugui went to the river to fish early in the morning with his fishing rod.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there must be meat dishes for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
As pork becomes increasingly difficult to buy, he can only pin his hopes on fish.
But I didn’t want to spend money to buy it, so I could only go to the river early in the morning and try my luck.
As a result, it is rare to see a courtyard house without a gatekeeper today.
Wang Dong placed the whole chicken and pork belly at the bottom of the backpack, covered them with three sets of fresh pork offal, and returned to the courtyard without attracting anyone's attention.
Chen Jun and Chen Li waited a long time and finally got Wang Dong back.
Chen Jun was a grown-up girl and knew how to be reserved. She just stood at the door and greeted Wang Dong instead of rushing out to greet him.
Chen Li is still a girl, he can't care so much about her.
As soon as he saw Wang Dong, he rushed out of the east wing and hugged Wang Dong in the front yard.
"elder brother……"
"You are finally back..."
"My sister and I can't wait any longer..."
"If you don't come back, we won't have time to go fishing..."
"We have all the tools and bait ready, we can set off now!"
Seeing Chen Li chattering all the way as she followed Wang Dong into the east wing, Chen Dehui said unhappily.
"Second girl, why are you so anxious?"
"Dongzi just finished preparing a banquet, he must be very tired..."
"Even if you really want to go fishing, you have to rest well before going!"
An embarrassed expression immediately flashed across Chen Li's face, and then she looked at the backpack that Wang Dong brought back!
With a look of shock on his face, he shouted: "So many pigs in the water..."
"elder brother……"
"Did you rob the meat processing plant?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Jun knocked on Chen Li's head.
"Brother Dong is so honest, how could he do something illegal?"
Wang Dong followed up: "You little girl..."
"If I really robbed the meat processing factory, would I be able to sit here and talk to you peacefully?"
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and get a wooden basin..."
"There are other treasures in the backpack!"
Wang Dong immediately put the three pig offal in the frame into the wooden basin, and then explained to everyone: "Uncle..."
"Auntie... Sister Jun..."
"The third mate's pig offal is the reward for the banquet that Director Wang of the Meat Processing Plant promised me..."
"I'll have to trouble Auntie to help me wash it later..."
"I made one pair tonight and shared it with the neighbors in the compound. The remaining two pairs were smoked into sausages and cured pork liver..."
"The whole chicken and pork belly are the red envelope that Director Wang gave me!"
"His father thought the lunch was very good and made him very proud, so he gave him a special reward and a five-dollar red envelope. I gave the two kitchen helpers one dollar each!"
"Auntie washed them as well, and pickled them together with the remaining two pig offal at night, and smoked them all into bacon!"
"Tonight we're going to eat pig offal and drink fish soup..."
"I'm taking Sister Jun and Little Sister fishing now!"
"Bring back all the big fish to make smoked fish, and sell the small fish for food!"
…………Today is destined to be a busy day.
Although it was very tiring, Wang Dong didn't feel it was hard in order to save more food during the difficult times and save enough money to renovate the house as soon as possible.
He doesn't have a golden finger, he is just an ordinary citizen. If he wants his family to live a good life in the next 20 years, he can only rely on his own hands.
Some people would say that Wang Dong’s desperate efforts are a disgrace to the time traveler.
Your head is filled with decades of knowledge and opportunities, but you can only make money with your hands.
Things are far from as simple as imagined.
Only after truly traveling through time did I realize that I had no control over myself.
You need tickets to buy things, and the money-making methods of later generations are completely useless.
Moreover, in this situation where everyone is living a hard life, even if you are lucky enough to get a large sum of money, you dare not spend it, and you cannot spend it.
If someone suddenly becomes extravagant and can't explain the source of the money,
Not only can we no longer live in the courtyard
Under such circumstances, Wang Dong could only rely on his own hands to provide a good life for his family. He let everyone know that he could fish for money, so that even if he suddenly had a good meal at home, it would not arouse suspicion.
Due to time constraints, Wang Dong only caught less than 20 kilograms of fish in one afternoon.
I kept three large fish weighing more than two kilograms to make cured fish at home, and sent the remaining ten kilograms of small fish to the black market, where I exchanged them for ten kilograms of flour, three kilograms of oil coupons, two kilograms of non-staple food coupons, and a lot of ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and peppercorns...
…………
The west wing in the front yard of the quadrangle.
Yan Fugui was taking care of the flowers and plants planted at the door as usual, and from time to time he looked up at the neighbors coming in and out of the courtyard to see if he could take advantage of them.
As he watched, Yan Fugui suddenly sniffed and took a deep breath.
The smell of braised meat that suddenly appeared in the air was so fragrant.
"Dad...what smells so good?"
The boss Yan Jiecheng suddenly walked out of the house and asked Yan Fugui who was standing at the door with an intoxicated look on his face.
"It seems to be coming from the Chen family in the east courtyard..." Yan Fugui answered after smelling the fragrance in the air again.
After saying that, he turned to Yan Jiecheng and said, "Boss..."
"Go tell your mother?"
"Wang Dong is cooking pig offal..."
"I'll definitely send us a bowl later!"
"Tell him to cook one less dish...and steam more cornmeal steamed bread..."
"The stewed food is so delicious, the pork offal must be very delicious..."
"We are in for a treat tonight!"
…………
The west wing of the central courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai and the aunt also smelled the rich aroma of braised food in the air.
The aunt looked at the still closed door of Sha Zhu's house and asked, "Old Yi..."
"Shazhu is not at home..."
"Who in our courtyard cooks such delicious food?"
Yi Zhonghai replied unhappily: "Who else could it be!"
"There are only two cooks in our courtyard, Sha Zhu and Wang Dong? Without Sha Zhu, Wang Dong must be the only one who can make such delicious dishes!"
The lady replied unwillingly: "What a pity!"
"For the sake of the Jia family and Sha Zhu... we must offend Wang Dong to death, otherwise we can also enjoy such delicious food!"
Yi Zhonghai's first reaction was that the aunt was complaining that he helped the Jia family and He Yuzhu too much, and he scolded her angrily...
"What do you know!"
"The hair is long, the knowledge is short..."
"No matter how delicious Wang Dong's cooking is, it has nothing to do with us..."
"Dongxu is our elder..."
"Silly Zhu is the one we are going to take care of the elderly!"
"If I don't help them, who will I help?"
