Chapter 451 Xu Damao’s overtures
I took the rest of the fish to the factory canteen, exchanged it for more than ten yuan in cash, and took only the silver carp home.

"Xiao Wang is going fishing?"

"Follow the third uncle of our hospital and give it a try!"

The silver carp was placed in a bucket, covered with a ball of hay, and tied to the back seat. It didn't attract much attention.

I have been living in the courtyard for half a year. Most of the neighbors are employees of the steel rolling mill. I am quite a celebrity in the factory, especially in the first two staff meetings. After receiving two public commendations, Wang Zhong may not recognize all the neighbors around him, but most of the neighbors know this new college student who joined the factory.

Along the way back, many people took the initiative to say hello to Wang Zhong.

When I got out of the car at the entrance of No. 95 Courtyard, I pushed the car and just entered the door. I happened to see the third aunt washing clothes in the courtyard. Watching Wang Zhong come in, the third aunt hurriedly asked: "Xiao Wang, why are you back? Where is my Lao Yan? ?”

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "I'm going back first, the third uncle hasn't had enough fun yet!"

Parked the car under the eaves, took off the bucket tied to the back table, and heard the third aunt say: "How much did you catch when you came back so early?"

"Good luck, I got a silver carp!" As he spoke, Wang Zhong took out the hay and went to the faucet to change the water. The third aunt came over curiously and saw the seven or eight kilograms of silver carp in the bucket. Bai Silver Carp suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

"Xiao Wang is so capable. This fish must be seven or eight pounds!" The third aunt said with a bit of disbelief in her tone. Yan Fugui would go fishing outside the city every Monday when he had free time, although he often had harvests. , but I have never caught such a big fish before.

The envy in the third aunt's eyes was almost overflowing. Those eyes were just like those on the silver carp.

"I'm just lucky, I caught it just in time!"

However, within a short time, the news that Wang Zhong had caught a big fish spread throughout the courtyard, and women and children came over curiously, just to take a look at the big fish.

Wang Zhong, however, had already brought the fish into the house and was ready to clean it up.

After cutting off the fish head and a small half of the fish body, and cleaning out the internal organs, Wang Zhong carried the cut fish out and went to the edge of the pool to clean it. A few half-year-old children came over.

"Uncle Wang, your fish is so big!"

The speaker was none other than the only boy of the Jia family in the Zhongyuan, Banggan. Next to her was her sister Xiaodang, wearing an old gray cotton jacket with patches and two pigtails. As for the youngest Sophora japonica, she was only two years old this year. Years old, it’s not time to go out and have fun yet.

"Fortunately, it's relatively small among Silver Carp!" Wang Chong said with a smile.

"Such a big fish must be delicious!" The brother and sister's eyes almost reached the silver carp in Wang Zhong's hand.

"This fish is not easy to cook!" Wang Zhong said: "Silver carp has a strong fishy smell, requires a lot of seasonings, consumes oil, and has many small spines. If you are not careful, it will easily get stuck in the throat! You know what happens when someone gets stabbed and gets stuck in the throat? How does it feel?"

Both brothers and sisters shook their heads.

Wang Zhong said: "It's just like a needle prick, and the throat is fragile, but it hurts more than pricking other parts of the body. If you're not careful, you will die!"

"what?"

BangGeng was okay, but Xiaodang was frightened and subconsciously took a few steps back, with a bit of fear in her eyes.

"Don't lie to me. It's not like my family has never eaten fish!" Bangge was not easily deceived.

Wang Zhong laughed, ignored the stick, and returned to the house with the basin. However, he 'accidentally' left the fish's internal organs on the edge of the pool.

Marinate the fish head with salt and onion-ginger cooking wine, rub the remaining fish body with salt, twist hay into a hemp rope, and hang it under the eaves to wait for drying.

When Wang Zhong returned to the edge of the pool, the bowl of offal was still there.

Thinking about the many joking names for sticks on the Internet, Wang Zhong couldn't help but shook his head. He didn't know whether the 'Thief Saint' looked down on this internal organ or something else.

Simply process the fish offal, remove the fishy parts, and marinate the rest with salt, green onions and ginger.

While the fish heads were marinating, Wang Zhong began to clean up the house. He didn't know if he had stayed in the copy of "Knowledge" for too long. Even though the memory light ball had been generated by the system, he still missed the clothes. Come and stretch out your hands and open your mouth for food.

But now I can only think about it, unless I find a particularly virtuous wife.

Looking at the simple furniture in the room, Wang Zhong began to think about how to arrange it in the room. After a person is used to being clean, he may not be able to adapt to a messy environment suddenly.

Although Wang Zhong has a strong adaptability, who wants to live in a dirty place if he can live in a cleaner place.

Fortunately, the house is not big. It is just a three-bay wing, which adds up to only sixty or seventy square meters. It was almost finished after ten minutes of work.

After traveling through time, Wang Zhong did a lot of cleaning up the house, but he didn't have much time and didn't clean it thoroughly enough.

It is worth mentioning that although Wang Zhong lives in the east wing of the front yard, it has been lived in by princes and nobles. The quality and layout of the house are still good. The floors are paved with blue bricks. Wang Zhong has no intention of changing it. It's just the toilets and bathrooms that still need to be tidied up.

It's not that Wang Zhong is being hypocritical, but the conditions of the public toilets are really not that good, and if there are too many people, you have to queue up.

However, every household has a chamber pot, so it is not impossible to solve the problem in a chamber pot.

Although Wang Zhong also used chamber pots in the copy of "Do You Know", but now that we are in modern society, there is no need to wrong himself anymore.

The wood that was obtained from the suspected old man and the young man last time is now piled under the bed. This time, while tidying up the house, they can be used together.

Wang Zhong has always been a resolute person who always does what he says. When he was just cleaning up the house, the layout of the entire house had already appeared in his mind. Now that he had made a decision, he started to conceive in his mind.

Cut off half of the south partition, use it as a toilet and bathroom, and use the kitchen outside. When conditions permit, the kitchen will be partitioned off later.

In an instant, Wang Zhong's mind already had a picture of what the house would look like after the renovation was completed.

After cleaning up the house, Wang Zhong began to prepare dinner. The white noodles were distributed before going out in the morning, kneaded into steamed buns, and steamed on the stove.

The cast-iron stove used in Wang Zhong's home, which is very popular in the north, burns briquettes. A white iron pipe extends outside the house to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Basically, every household in the courtyard uses the same stove.

I didn't see anyone burning a kang, maybe because they were in the city.

After the white flour steamed buns on the pot were steamed, Wang Zhong began to make the fish head with chopped peppers. Silver carp is commonly known as fat-headed fish. Although it has a lot of meat, it also has many fine spines and has a strong smell of mutton, but the fish head tastes good.

Take out several jars of chopped peppers that have been prepared long ago from the space, put them in the corner, scoop out a bowl, fry them and spread them evenly on the fish heads, garnish them with green onions and ginger, and then steam them in a pot.

Taking advantage of the break from steaming fish, Wang Zhong made about half a catty of hand-rolled noodles.

After it is steamed and taken out of the pot, add a spoonful of hot oil and pour it on top. The aroma will come out immediately.

Wang Zhong put the casserole with fish heads on the stove and was about to start eating when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

"Brother Wang Zhong, it's me!" Xu Damao's mean voice sounded outside.

Wang Zhong stood up and opened the door, only to see Xu Damao carrying two tied oil paper bags in one hand and two bottles of Erguotou in the other hand, with a smile on his face.

"Hey, have all the brothers eaten?" Now the room was filled with the smell of fish heads with chopped peppers, and Xu Damao's appetite was instantly aroused.

"It's just been made, and I'm about to use my chopsticks. Has Brother Damao eaten? Why don't we eat some together?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face. Now that Xu Damao didn't offend him, Wang Zhong naturally wouldn't give him a good look.

"The relationship is great!" Xu Damao walked into the room with a smile on his face, holding the things in his hands: "I have prepared the food and drinks, and I am planning to have a few drinks with you!"

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "I caught this fish from the river outside the city today. Brother Damao, you are in luck!"

"Brother, this is your skill!" Smelling the tangy fragrance, Xu Damao felt his appetite whet his appetite and gave Wang Zhong a thumbs up with a smile.

Wang Zhongdao: "My mother used to be a cook in a wealthy family. I don't have any other hobbies. I just like to eat good food. I learned cooking from my mother when I was a child. I have spent more than ten years working on it. Woolen cloth!"

While talking, Wang Zhong had already helped Xu Damao get a pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"But the fish may be a bit spicy today, I just don't know if Brother Damao is used to it."

Xu Damao, who had already had a strong appetite, looked at the layer of red chili peppers covering the fish heads in the casserole and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, he had made enough preparations himself. A package of braised pork head and a package of fried peanuts were not cheap goods. "Brother Damao, try this fish head first?" Wang Zhong said while pouring the wine.

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, picked up the chopsticks and pushed away the bright red chopped pepper, picked up a piece of fish, looked at Wang Zhong again, and then put it in his mouth.

As soon as the fish was in his mouth, Xu Damao's expression immediately changed. His eyes widened with a look of astonishment.

"How?" Wang Zhong asked with a smile.

Xu Damao immediately gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely awesome!"

"Come!" Wang Zhong picked up the wine glass: "Drink first!"

Xu Damao also quickly picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Wang Zhong.

"Brother, try this, it's a good thing to go with wine!" Xu Damao opened the two oil paper bags, revealing the red-colored pork head meat inside and the peanuts wrapped in salt grains.

With three cups of Erguotou in his stomach, Xu Damao was eating white flour steamed buns and fish heads with chopped peppers slowly. He looked at Wang Zhong curiously: "Brother, you are living a very nourishing life!"

"Do you need to have all the fun to be happy in life?" Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"As expected of a scholar!" Xu Damao gave a thumbs up again: "Brother, don't mention it. With your skills, that bastard Silly Zhu can't keep up with you even if he flatters you. He's bragging about his cooking skills outside every day, or what? The heir to the Tan family cuisine, he gave it to him..."

"Brother Damao, thank you!"

Wang Zhong said: "By the way, why did Brother Damao suddenly want to come to me for a drink?"

Seeing that Wang Zhong finally asked about this topic, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief and stopped scolding He Yuzhu. He hurriedly got to the point and said: "Brother, I won't hide it from you. Silly Zhu invited you to drink and showed his hospitality a while ago. , I gave you something because of the rain work, right?"

Wang Zhong nodded and said: "It is indeed because of the rain work. Doesn't our section chief have a good relationship with Section Chief Qian of the Personnel Administration Department? Brother Zhu asked me to help him connect and build a bridge and introduce our section chief to him." He knew me and said he was looking for help from our section chief and wanted to follow Section Chief Qian's path and arrange a job for Yu Yu.

Not to mention, Brother Zhu is quite capable. I don’t know how he convinced Section Chief Qian and actually arranged Yu Yu’s work. "

"So that's it!" Xu Damao suddenly realized, and he had no doubts about Wang Zhong's words. Wang Zhong had only been in the factory for half a year. Although he had made some achievements, he had only been here for a short time, and he should not have the ability to directly arrange work for Yuyu.

"Does this bastard Silly Zhu still have such ability?" Xu Damao cursed.

"Brother Damao, who are you and Brother Zhu?" Wang Zhong asked curiously.

Xu Damao said; "Brother, don't be fooled by that bastard Silly Zhu. That guy is sinister and likes to beat people..."

Naturally, Wang Zhong had heard of He Yuzhu's nickname of "Siheyuan God of War". Xu Damao, almost in tears, confided to Wang Zhong the tragic experience of being bullied by He Yuzhu for so many years. What he said was sincere and came from the bottom of his heart.

"I didn't expect He Yuzhu to be such a person. Brother Mao, don't be too sad!" Wang Zhong comforted Xu Damao while pulling Xu Damao to continue drinking.

At first, Xu Damao was just pretending, but as he talked, the indignation and unwillingness of being bullied by He Yuzhu for so many years all came out. The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he drank glass by glass. Before long, two bottles of Erguotou were consumed. The two of them drank it all.

After drinking two bottles of Erguotou, Xu Damao almost fell under the stove.

Looking at Xu Damao who had broken into pieces, Wang Zhong decisively picked him up and walked quickly out to the backyard. Otherwise, Wang Zhong would be too lazy to clean up if he vomited at home later.

"Hey! What's wrong with Xu Damao?" When passing by the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was helping Huaihua wash her pants by the pool. She looked like she had just wet herself.

"It's broken!"

"Sister Qin, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll send Brother Damao back first!"

"Go quickly!"

After saying hello, Wang Zhong went straight to the backyard and knocked on Xu Damao's door.

"Who is it?" A clear female voice came from the room.

"Sister-in-law, I am Wang Zhong, Brother Damao is drunk, I will send him back!"

Footsteps were heard in the house instantly. After a moment, there was only a creak. The door was opened and the curtain was lifted, revealing a young woman with regular features, short hair and a somewhat bookish air. people.

As soon as the curtain was opened, Lou Xiao'e frowned, shrank back, put her hand in front of her nose and flapped it gently: "Why do you drink so much wine?"

As if she realized that she was rude, before Wang Zhong could say anything, Lou Xiao'e quickly put down her hand and said enthusiastically: "Xiao Wang, come in quickly!"

Wang Zhong was not polite and walked inside with Xu Damao on his shoulders.

Lou Xiao'e led Wang Zhong all the way to the back room, and helped Wang Zhong put Xu Damao on the bed. Lou Xiao'e said apologetically: "Excuse me, Xiao Wang!"

"Sister-in-law, we are all neighbors, so we are talking about this!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Besides, Brother Damao got drunk at my house, I have to send him back to you with beard and tail intact, right? !”

Lou Xiao'e hurriedly went to the table to pour a glass of water and brought it to Wang Zhong: "Drink some water!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Wang Zhong didn't refuse. He just drank a bottle of Erguotou, which weighed nearly a pound. His mouth was really dry. He took the water handed over by Lou Xiao'e, raised his head and drank it all in a few gulps.

"Sister-in-law, I will withdraw first. Brother Damao will work hard for you!"

After saying goodbye to Lou Xiao'e, Wang Zhong left the Xu family.

As soon as he reached the middle courtyard, Wang Zhong was stopped by He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhu, what's the matter?" Wang Zhong asked, looking at He Yuzhu who was standing against the door frame.

He Yuzhu came up and said, "Brother, why are you getting together with that guy Xu Damao?"

Wang Zhong said: "Brother Damao came to me for a drink! It's not that he is drunk, I will send him back!"

"I'm telling you, you smell so drunk!"

"But brother, let me tell you the truth. I have grown up with Xu Damao since I was a child. He is not a good person. You should be careful and don't let him take advantage of you!"

He Yuzhu reminded him cautiously, and made no secret of his dislike for Xu Damao in his words.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Brother Zhu, thank you for reminding me, but you don't have to worry. Do you think I am the kind of person who is fooled by just a few words?"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu looked at the smile on Wang Zhong's face, and a smile appeared on his extremely mature face: "Okay, you can do it if you have an idea!"

Wang Zhong looked around, walked up to He Yuzhu and whispered, "Brother Zhu, you must keep this matter a secret for me."

"Don't worry, brother, you must keep your mouth shut!" He Yuzhu almost slapped his chest to reassure Wang Zhong.

"Brother Zhu, I feel relieved with your words. It's getting late, so I'll go back first!"

"Go slowly! Don't knock!" He Yuzhu kindly reminded.

"Don't worry, you can't knock me!"

The days that followed were uneventful. Wang Zhong slowly tidied up the house and prepared to complete the tasks given by the system.

[Main mission: Experience a different courtyard house]

The first time he entered the dungeon, Wang Zhong checked the main mission. The mission was very general, but generality also meant that there were no restrictions and there was no need to be a nanny.

Wang Zhong also formulated his general direction in this dungeon world. The first major must be metallurgy. As for how far he can achieve it, it depends on his own ability.

As for the Siheyuan, just let nature take its course. Anyway, I live in the Siheyuan, so it’s not impossible to blend in appropriately, but the main focus must be on work.

As for women, they also let nature take its course. Wang Zhong had no intention of taking over the widow, especially the one who brought several widows with him.

As for the previous matter of helping He Yuyu find a job, it was just a matter of smooth sailing. Along the way, he got the first pot of gold from Silly Zhu, so that it would be logical for him to improve his life.
