Chapter 241 Bear’s paw!
Chapter 241 Bear’s paw!
It was already past six in the evening when Jia Dongming packed up the files on his desk and rode his bicycle away from the Dongcheng Branch.
Considering that he had to entertain a group of guests in a couple of days, Jia Dongming found a deserted place, took out some supplies from the system space, and rode his bicycle towards Tongluoguxiang.
Soon Jia Dongming returned to the courtyard. When the door god Yan Bugui saw the supplies on the back seat of Jia Dongming's bicycle, his eyes suddenly lit up and he instinctively wanted to step forward to take advantage of them. However, he had just taken two steps when he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. He immediately stopped and walked towards Yan's house with an embarrassed look on his face.
Jia Dongming saw everything Yan Bugui did. He looked at Yan Bugui's fleeing back, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a look of contempt flashed in his eyes, and then he pushed his bicycle and walked towards the central courtyard.
"Director Jia! You're back from get off work!" A resident in the front yard also saw Yan Bugui's actions, and a look of contempt appeared in his eyes. Then he greeted Jia Dongming very enthusiastically.
When Jia Dongming heard what the resident said, he said hello to him while pushing his bicycle, "Brother Song! I had a lot of work at work today, so I came back late. Have you eaten?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Song heard what Jia Dongming said and replied with a smile: "Director Jia! We just finished dinner at home, and I was just about to go out to digest the food, but I didn't expect to meet you."
As he was speaking, Jia Dongming had already walked to the Moon Gate. Xiaodang, the boy with a stick in his arms, who was playing in the yard, saw Jia Dongming coming back and ran towards him happily.
"Uncle! Why did you come back so late tonight?"
"Uncle! You are finally back. Xiaodang missed you so much!"
When Jia Dongming saw his nephew and niece, he reached out and took out a big apple from the cloth bag hanging on the handlebars of his bicycle. He smiled and said to Banggeng, "Banggeng! Take this apple home and have your mother wash it. Then cut it in half, and you and Xiaodang each have half."
"Thank you, uncle!" Banggeng's eyes lit up when he saw the big apple that Jia Dongming handed to him. He happily thanked Jia Dongming, and then said to Xiaodang, "Xiaodang! Let's go home and share the apples!"
After watching Banggeng and Xiaodang run back to the Jia family, Jia Dongming pushed the bicycle to the eaves of the Jia family and stopped. Then he picked up the two cloth bags on the bicycle and walked towards the Jia family's house.
"Dongming! Why did you come back so late today? I thought you had dinner outside and wouldn't come back for dinner." Jia Zhang, who was sitting at the table sewing shoe soles, saw Jia Dongming walking into the room from outside with a cloth bag in his hand. She immediately put down what she was doing and asked Jia Dongming kindly.
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he put the two cloth bags in his hands on the table and said to Jia Zhang with a smile, "Mom! There was a case at the branch today, and I was so busy that I forgot the time."
Jia Zhang heard the sound of the cloth bags touching the table and asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Dongming! What are the things in your two bags? Judging from the sound, they are quite heavy."
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he thought about inviting Li Huaide to dinner tomorrow night, so he smiled and said, "Mom! My house will be finished tomorrow, right? I plan to invite Li Huaide from the steel mill to dinner tomorrow night, so I asked a friend to help me buy some meat and vegetables."
"Brother Dongming! Have you had dinner? If I haven't, I'll go make you something to eat." Qin Huairu came out of the kitchen immediately after learning that Jia Dongming had returned, and asked Jia Dongming with a smile.
"Uncle! This apple is so sweet, you should have a bite." Xiaodang ran out of the kitchen with half an apple in his hand, ran quickly to Jia Dongming, and said to him in a baby voice.
When Jia Dongming heard what Xiaodang said, he smiled and said to Xiaodang: "Xiaodang! Uncle doesn't want to eat, you eat it yourself!"
"Brother Dongming! You're back. Have you had dinner? If not, I'll make you some." Qin Huairu came out of the kitchen and asked Jia Dongming immediately when she saw him sitting at the table. Jia Dongming felt hungry when he heard Qin Huairu's question. He quickly told Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Go make me a bowl of noodles. I'll just eat a little."
When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming's instructions and learned that Jia Dongming had not eaten yet, she quickly turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming mention Li Huaide, she immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Dongming! The Li Huaide you just mentioned, is he the deputy director of the steel mill? He was the one who handled the Dongxu work injury compensation issue."
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question, he nodded subconsciously and replied, "Mom! You are right, it is him. I also asked him to help with Huairu's transfer not long ago."
When Jia Dongming said this, he thought of the food he brought back and quickly told Banggeng, "Banggeng! Go call your uncle Zhuzi over and tell him I have something very important to discuss with him."
Banggeng, who was eating an apple, heard Jia Dongming's instructions and ran out of the house without saying a word.
When Jia Dongming saw Banggeng running to call Shazhu, he opened the bag and took out the ingredients he had prepared specially for tomorrow night.
When Jia Zhang saw the pork, beef, and goat meat that Jia Dongming took out from the bag, she was immediately surprised. When she saw Jia Dongming take out a bear paw, she was completely stunned. When she saw Jia Dongming take out everything from the bag, she asked Jia Dongming with a stuttering voice: "Dong Dongming! Where did you get these things?"
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's question and saw that she was stuttering, he smiled and said to her, "Mom! I asked my comrade-in-arms to buy these. In a word, as long as my comrade-in-arms is here, our family will never lack food in the future."
When Sha Zhu learned that Jia Dongming wanted to see him for something, he quickly walked towards the Jia family across the street. Before he even entered the house, he asked, "Brother Dongming! I heard from Banggeng that you wanted to see me for something. What is it?"
As a result, the moment Sha Zhu walked into the Jia family, his eyes were attracted by the items that Jia Dongming placed on the table.
Sha Zhu walked quickly to the table and looked at the ingredients Jia Dongming had placed on the table. His eyes were fixed on the bloody bear paw. He asked Jia Dongming with burning eyes, "Brother Dongming! These are all top-quality ingredients. Where did you get so many good things?"
When Jia Dongming heard Sha Zhu's question, he smiled and explained, "Isn't my house repaired? I plan to invite Li Huaide to dinner in the new house tomorrow night, so I asked my comrades to help me get some food back."
"I asked my comrade to help me get these things. But then again, I was lucky this time. My comrade happened to kill a bear and gave me a bear paw. Do you know how to get this thing?"
When Sha Zhu heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately became anxious and quickly assured Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! I am the descendant of Tan's cuisine, so I know how to cook bear paws. However, it takes a long time to process bear paws. If you plan to eat them tomorrow night, you must start preparing them now."
When Jia Dongming heard what Sha Zhu said, he smiled and said to him, "Zhuzi! Then I'll leave these ingredients to you to handle. You must perform well tomorrow night. Then I'll see if I can get Li Huaide to give you a raise."
When Sha Zhu heard Jia Dongming's promise, he was so happy that he immediately patted his chest and promised Jia Dongming: "Brother Dongming! Just wait and see. I promise to help you with the reception tomorrow night."
After hearing Sha Zhu's promise, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Zhuzi! I trust you to do the job! Tomorrow night is up to you."
