The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 93 If the cook doesn’t steal, the grain won’t be harvested! !

Zhang Chenfei slowly closed his eyes as he vaguely thought about the next arrangements in his mind.

There were no children making any noise, and the quality of sleep was exceptionally high.

He didn't wake up until the old lady walked into the house and shouted that if she didn't get up, she would be exposed to the sun.

Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I got out of bed and went directly to the newly built bathroom to wash up.

There were no ceramic bathroom cabinets in this era, so Wang Mantang built a stone washbasin according to the style described by Zhang Chenfei.

The faucet is an open pipe running on the wall. The stone washbasin below is used to wash your face and has a washboard at the same time. There is also a partition at the bottom. It is suitable to put washing powder, soap and other things in it.

After washing up, the old lady had already cooked mung bean and millet porridge, and the steamed buns were steamed by the old lady early in the morning. They were soft and white.

The only pickle is not that interesting, it is a big pickled radish.

Zhang Chenfei had eaten enough pickled radish, and planned to go to Qinfangju or Liubiju after get off work in the evening to buy some pickles to eat.

After eating, I went out and saw Uncle Yan next door sweeping the yard.

Needless to say, although Uncle Yan is stingy, he has a strong sense of public morality. He is usually responsible for the hygiene of the front yard.

"Dafei, are you up? Are you going to wash up in the courtyard? Why didn't you get a thermos bottle?" Seeing Zhang Chenfei appear, Yan Bugui hurriedly greeted him.

The leftover soup from the Zhang family’s banquet yesterday was packed away by their family.

Good guy, the jar is full, and until the Chinese New Year, their family won’t need to use oil anymore when cooking! ! !

It is also because of this that when I saw Zhang Chenfei today, the smile on his face was particularly bright.

"Hey, what are you washing up for? Uncle Yan, have you forgotten? My new home has a bathroom." Zhang Chenfei said.

"Ah, yes. How could I forget." Yanbu Guiba chirped.

Jealous! !

In the past, the entire courtyard lined up in the middle courtyard to use the tap water, and didn't think it was a big deal.

Nowadays, some people have hot water without leaving home. Why do they feel so sad? ?

There is also Grandma Zhang. In the morning, he heard from his daughter-in-law that a faucet was opened in the Zhang family's kitchen.

Grandma Zhang doesn’t have to go to the courtyard to fetch water when she’s cooking. I don’t know how convenient it is to make porridge, steam buns, etc.! ! !

Forget it, I don’t think about this anymore. The more I think about it, the more meaningless my life becomes.

Yan Bugui changed the subject and started asking Zhang Chenfei if he was sure he wanted to go fishing with him on the weekend?
  "Now in winter, you have to break the ice for fishing and make nests. When the time comes, I will take the tools to break the ice and you will prepare the things for making nests. How about it???"

Zhang Chenfei nodded: "Sure, it's settled."

Yan Bugui's eyes immediately flashed with ecstasy behind his glasses.

Earned it, earned it! ! !

The ice-breaking tools can be reused, and the rice bran used to make the nests is disposable, and there is even a small amount of cornmeal mixed in! ! ! What if it can be wasted? ? ?
  After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he knew in his heart that it had to be him.

If you don't have enough to eat, you won't have enough clothes to wear. If you don't calculate it, you will suffer from poverty! ! !
  In this entire courtyard, who can scheme against him! ! !
  After saying goodbye to Uncle Yan, Zhang Chenfei went to the backyard to find Xu Fugui.

Every morning in the courtyard there was a lot of noise, with people stirring up the briquette stove, emptying the urinals, beating the children, and shouting.

Zhang Chenfei walked all the way and said hello to each household.

This guy came back from the factory on a bicycle yesterday and asked him to take him to work today.

That's how it is when you live in a large courtyard. If you smile when you see someone, you should call someone else. If you look at people with your neck raised and nostrils, and just ignore everyone you see, then you are not understanding people! !

Sitting in Xu Fugui's car, we drove all the way out of Nanluogu Lane, turned onto Gulou East Street, and soon arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill.

Tomorrow, leaders from the Ministry of Metallurgy will come to inspect the steel rolling mill. The mill is bustling with banners hanging and deep cleaning.

As the director of the Propaganda Department, Zhang Chenfei naturally had no time to relax. When I got to the department, I put my things down and started busy.

At lunch time,
  As soon as Shazhu saw him, he started to grit his teeth in a silly way.

He told him that Section Chief Song of the publicity department had the right taste at yesterday's greenhouse banquet. Today, when he came to the factory, he followed Deputy Director Li and Director Yang to brag about He Yuzhu's craftsmanship.

"Director Yang is having a reception tonight, and he specifically asked me to cook two dishes tonight." Silly Zhu raised his chin, not to mention how proud he was.

Although Director Yang only asked him to cook two dishes, everyone with a discerning eye knew that these were trial dishes! ! !
  As long as he performs well in these two dishes, he will have a chance to be on the stove in the future! !
  At that time, he can become a real cook and say goodbye to things like cutting meat and doing odd jobs.

Zhang Chenfei raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Huh? Congratulations to you, it's just that the current chef can see you dividing his work like this??"

He had heard that the chef profession was particularly concerned about this.

The kitchen is like a battlefield. Either I will die or I will live.

Silly Zhu has shown his talents at such a young age, so he might be targeted in some way! !

Silly Zhu snatched the lunch box from Zhang Chenfei's hand and gave him a big spoonful of chicken nuggets and stewed potatoes: "Am I afraid of him?? As long as I am, He Yuzhu, I have never been afraid of others."

Zhang Chenfei, who had beaten him countless times: "Ah, yes, yes."

Silly Zhu smiled sheepishly: "You are an exception."

Zhang Chenfei didn't say anything else. He took the lunch box handed over by Sha Zhu and looked at the meat inside: "I haven't even ordered yet, and you've already ordered it???"

In fact, I saw it earlier, but I didn’t say anything about it. We have to wait until it's finished and returned to our hands.

Hey! ! This is called a routine! !

Silly Zhu waved his hand: "This meal is yours, please feel free to eat it!!"

"Hey!" Zhang Chenfei took the lunch box and left with satisfaction.

Jia Zhang saw this from behind and immediately put the lunch box in: "Silly Zhu, we are all neighbors and we cannot treat each other differently. If you invite Da Fei, you have to treat me!"

Silly Zhu's eyes were full of rejection, but when he saw Jia Zhang looking like he was about to make a big move and summon Lao Jia, he suddenly gave up.

"Please, please, I want you!!!"

He took the lunch box and started to eat while cursing in a low voice.

"Eat, eat, eat, why don't I eat you to death???" 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　 with the leadership inspection on Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday I started busy with various matters such as press releases after the leader left.

It wasn't until Sunday that I was completely free.

Sunday was a nice day.

After Zhang Chenfei finished washing, he used the old lady's clam oil to wipe his hands and face.

Place the fishing rod you bought earlier against the wall.

He also took out a piece of bamboo cut from Space Beishan that had been dried, toothpaste peels and straw from home, and sat on a small bench to start tinkering with the fishing rod.

The old lady prepared breakfast in the kitchen, came in with two bowls of stick noodle porridge, put down her things, and came over.

"Are you going fishing?"

Zhang Chenfei nodded: "I made an appointment with Uncle Yan to go fishing in Houhai after dinner."

Grandma Zhang chirped: "It's not necessarily that Yan Bugui has been fishing all his life and wants you to make fishing rods for him."

Who in the courtyard doesn’t know that Yan Bugui loves fishing? How come there is no fishing rod at home? ? ! ! !
  Zhang Chenfei put down the things in his hands and raised his eyes to look at the old lady: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"Tell me, who made this fishing rod?"

"Well," Zhang Chenfei showed off his mystery, "What do you think?"

Grandma Zhang curled her lips: "It must be a woman, Xiaozao? Or that Chen Xueru??"

Who knows who has a child? If he were a man, his grandson would not help him make fishing rods even if he was too busy! ! !
  Think again:
  "No, your Uncle Tian has a fishing rod, so Chen Xueru is the only one."

Zhang Chenfei said in his heart that the old lady was comparable to Sherlock Holmes, but he refused to admit it and smiled: "You, if you have time to think about things here, why not ask Silly Zhu to learn the eight ways to cook the big carp in the Yellow River."

"Why learn that?" Grandma Zhang said, sitting back at the Eight Immortals table and starting to drink porridge.

Zhang Chenfei also walked over, picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I will go fishing later, why do you want to learn that?"

"Go wash your hands!!" Grandma Zhang slapped the back of his hand with a chopstick and said, "If you can catch a big Yellow River carp in Houhai, you will be my biological father!!!"

Zhang Chenfei went to wash his hands obediently, while smiling and adding another sentence: "It seems that this old lady is not stupid yet, and she has not reached the stage of Alzheimer's disease."

After the grandfather and grandson had dinner, Zhang Chenfei asked to wash the dishes, but the old lady refused.

"I haven't reached the point where I can't do anything yet!! This is the only work at home, what did you do to me??"

Like the deaf old lady who eats at home every day and waits to die? Pretend to be pitiful and wait for others to give you food? She can't do it.

"Sneeze!!" The deaf old lady who was taking a nap in the backyard wrapped her cotton jacket tightly around her body, "It's not cold today, why are you still sneezing???"

Zhang Chenfei understood what the old lady meant. People actually all have the need to "be useful."

If the old lady is willing to wash the dishes, let her do it, but she won't be tired.

While the old lady was washing dishes, he found some straw and rags and began to tie up the remaining water pipe in his house.

It's cold in the north. If you don't wrap up the water pipes in winter, the water inside will freeze and the pipes will explode, which will be troublesome.

After packing up the water pipes, Zhang Chenfei packed up the fishing rods and buckets.

I said hello to the old lady and said she wouldn't be back for lunch at noon, so I took the bucket and went to the yard to push the bicycle I borrowed from Corey yesterday.

When I locked the car, I heard Uncle Yan from across the street cursing Yan Jiefang.

He said that he had eaten some cockroach feces and mouse urine recently, which was like getting into money's eyes! !
  To say that he ignored family ties for money is simply worse than a beast! ! !

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Uncle Yan is so cruel, he even scolds himself when he goes crazy."

Zhang Chenfei muttered as he pushed the car.

When they walked to the Chuihua Gate, they saw Shazhu and Qin Huairu actually pulling together.

Ouch? ?

Zhang Chenfei raised his eyebrows and said in a rough voice: "Hey, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

The two of them were startled, and turned around to find that it was Zhang Chenfei. Only then did Sha Zhu feel relieved: "Hey, you scared me."

Qin Huairu hurriedly explained: "Da Fei, don't misunderstand me. I just want to ask Sha Zhu to help me bring something."

Bring something? ?

Zhang Chenfei looked at the two of them, and when he saw Sha Zhu carrying a brand new net bag and lunch box in his hands, he immediately came over in shock.

A few days ago, Shazhu performed very well in hosting a banquet for the leaders and won the favor of Director Yang and Deputy Director Li.

After get off work that day, he went to buy a net bag and a new lunch box and said the wise saying "If the cook does not steal, the grain will not be harvested."

It seems that there is another reception banquet today.

But what he didn't expect was that Qin Huairu actually asked Silly Zhu to bring leftovers to him so early? ?
  Sure enough, when Shazhu saw that the visitor was Zhang Chenfei, he did not shy away from it and directly told Qin Huairu that he would give her two meat dishes when he came back at noon today.

Qin Huairu felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of Zhang Chenfei, so she thanked Silly Zhu and left with a twist of her butt.

Silly Zhu looked at the big butt from behind, feeling his throat dry and swallowing his saliva.

After losing sight of Qin Huairu's back, Shazhu looked back and sighed, and said in a pitiful tone:
  "Sister Qin is so pitiful. She hasn't even given birth yet, so she works every day and doesn't even have good food.

If I don't help her get some oil and water, I'm afraid she won't even have milk, and the little stick will suffer as well. "

Zhang Chenfei: "Ah, yes, yes, yes!!"

It's not that he doesn't want to help Silly Zhu, it's actually a matter between the goddess and the licking dog. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

If he mixes things up here, it would be easy for Shazhu not to miss him. If he mixes things up, he might still hate him.

With the help of Sha Zhu, he lifted the bicycle out of the courtyard's threshold, and Zhang Chenfei rode the bicycle all the way to the front door.

As soon as I arrived at the bus stop, I saw from a distance a woman wearing an aqua slim-fitting cheongsam, black stockings, a beige fur vest, and high heels, standing at the door of Xueru Satin Shop.

Yo? The temperature today is minus 11 degrees! !
  This woman really wants grace rather than warmth! ! Zhang Chenfei thought to himself.
