Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 121 Industrial Vouchers in Hand

This one sentence perfectly encapsulates Zhou Jianjun's bitterness and helplessness.

At this point, Li Feng simply patted Zhou Jianjun on the shoulder and said nothing more.

Now that we've got the money...

Now we just go to a restaurant.

So Li Feng asked them which restaurant nearby served good food.

Wang Liu then introduced a restaurant.

In this era, restaurants were mostly state-owned.

According to Li Feng's understanding, restaurants are divided into several levels.

It's just a regular restaurant outside, and they mainly cook some home-style dishes.

Above that are state-run restaurants catering to guests, and also small kitchens where the head chefs of large factories cook their own meals.

For example, someone like Sha Zhu.

If you go up one more floor, that's pretty much a hotel for receiving foreign guests.

Places like this are not places that ordinary people can go to.

Therefore, Wang Liu chose an ordinary state-run restaurant not far from the factory.

When Wang Liu led Li Feng and the others to the restaurant sign, Li Feng was instantly shocked.

Chrysanthemum Pavilion.

The name reminded Li Feng of an animation.

At this moment, Wang Liu explained to Li Feng and the others.

"This restaurant serves Sichuan cuisine, so the flavors are a bit strong."

"But I feel it's pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng waved his hand at Wang Liu and said.

"I can handle spicy food."

"I also have rather strong tastes."

Zhou Jianjun waved his hand in response.

"Of course I can eat spicy food too."

"I'm not used to this kind of weather without some chili peppers."

Qian Fusheng shrank back and said.

"There should be some that aren't spicy, right?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Liu nodded and said.

"I think so."

"I didn't ask last time either."

"I'll ask this time."

not long

Li Feng and his group entered the Chrysanthemum Pavilion.

At this moment, Li Feng realized that there were actually quite a few people inside.

This restaurant is really popular.

Looking at so many people, Li Feng was worried that there wouldn't be any seats available.

At this moment, a waiter asked Li Feng how many people were in his party, and Li Feng replied that there were four people.

The waiter then led Li Feng and the others to the second floor.

After Li Feng and his group went up to the second floor, they found that there were still a few empty tables, so Li Feng was no longer worried about not having a seat.

After everyone was seated, Li Feng asked them to order.

So Wang Liu and the others began to study the recipes.

I ordered it last.

Mapo tofu, shredded pork with garlic sauce, spicy diced chicken, shredded pork with green peppers, and cabbage and tofu soup.

Li Feng glanced at Qian Fusheng and then ordered him an egg fried rice.

Although Li Feng felt that the shredded pork with garlic sauce shouldn't be too spicy, he thought that Qian Fusheng would probably find it too much to handle.

Li Feng only paid for the meal, not the food coupons.

This was agreed upon at the factory.

quickly!

The dishes they ordered were served quickly.

Li Feng looked at the shredded pork with garlic sauce in front of him, which was clearly different from what he had eaten before.

Because Li Feng didn't see any wood ear mushrooms, but instead saw a lot of diced garlic shoots, and there was a sour smell.

This must have had vinegar added.

Li Feng picked up a piece with his chopsticks and found that the taste was indeed different from what he had eaten before.

At this moment, Li Feng asked Wang Liu.

"Why does this shredded pork with garlic sauce taste different from what you get at regular restaurants?"

Wang Liu shook his head and explained.

"I don't know either".

"But I think this place is delicious, so I brought you guys here."

"Besides, I'm not a chef, how would I know anything about this?"

Li Feng thought about it and agreed with what Wang Liu said.

Ordinary people don't seem to know much about cooking.

Generally, it's stir-fried directly in hot oil in a wok.

It's a pity my cooking skills aren't high enough, otherwise I would know all this.

To be honest, these dishes are indeed better than those in the cafeteria.

The food served in the cafeteria is definitely not as good as what you get here.

The chefs who cook in the factory's private kitchen should be able to do it just as well, but given Li Feng and others' level and qualifications...

That has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Who eats the food when Sha Zhu cooks for the special family?

Factory leaders and high-ranking officials from outside the factory.

Although Sha Zhu has cooked for large banquets outside, can that be the same as cooking for private families?

So if Li Feng and others wanted to eat special meals, they could only go to state-run restaurants or be taken there by their superiors.

Otherwise, there really wouldn't be this opportunity.

If one were fortunate enough to attend a state banquet, one would feel incredibly honored.

Moreover, how could a chef who can cook at a state banquet be of poor skill?

of course!

These are all just things in Li Feng's imagination.

after an hour
Li Feng and his group came out of the restaurant, burping as they left.

At this moment, Li Feng patted his stomach and then said to Zhou Jianjun and the others, "Going to get a scrub?"

At this moment, Zhou Jianjun shook his head at Li Feng and said...

"Let's go after the New Year."

"The bathhouse was packed with people during this period."

Wang Liu nodded in agreement.

"yes!".

"Everyone wants to take a shower before the New Year, but I doubt I can even squeeze in at this time."

"If you want to enjoy yourself, at least wait until after the New Year."

At this moment, Qian Fusheng picked at the bits of meat stuck between his teeth with his hand, and then nodded.

"Just wipe it with a hot towel at home these days, and it will have the same effect."

"But this shredded pork with garlic sauce is really not spicy."

"This tastes really good."

Li Feng nodded in agreement.

"That's good!"

"I'll come back to eat here again when I have the chance."

Zhou Jianjun nodded at this point, and then spoke to Li Feng and the others.

"It's getting late, I should go home."

"Otherwise, my old man will scold me."

Then the group said goodbye to Zhou Jianjun.

Li Feng and Wang Liu were going the same way, so they went home together.

When Li Feng returned to the courtyard house, it was almost 6:30.

But it's still early.

Starting tomorrow, I don't have to go to work anymore; the rest of the time is for rest.

Now that he has an extra hundred yuan in his pocket, Li Feng feels that all the hard work he's had lately has been worthwhile.

Just as Li Feng was about to open his front door, Sha Zhu saw him and immediately pulled him aside.

Li Feng was puzzled by Sha Zhu's behavior, so he asked Sha Zhu a question.

"What's wrong with you?"

Sha Zhu looked around and, finding no one in the yard, pulled Li Feng into his house.

He then closed the door.

Looking at Sha Zhu's mysterious demeanor, Li Feng couldn't help but wonder.

Could this silly Zhu be trying to tell me about his blind date?
Just as Li Feng was thinking about this, Sha Zhu finally spoke to him.

"brother.".

"Zhu Ting hasn't agreed to meet up with me recently."

"What should I do?"

Li Feng was stunned when he heard what Sha Zhu said.

Then Li Feng asked Sha Zhu with some suspicion.

"It's been so long, and you still haven't asked me out?"

"I thought you had invited other people out."

Sha Zhu sighed at this moment.

"Her parents agreed to let me ask her out, but Zhu Ting just wouldn't go out with me."

At this moment, Li Feng asked Sha Zhu a question.

"You don't even go to the library?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and said.

She said she wouldn't go.

"It seems to mean that it lacks artistic sense."

Hearing this, Li Feng roughly understood where the other party wanted to go.

So Li Feng suggested that Sha Zhu go see a stage play directly.

Sha Zhu was dumbfounded when he heard this.

"I don't watch movies much, so watching a stage play would be even more of a mystery to me."

Li Feng shook his head at Sha Zhu and said.

"Finding a wife is more important than not going to see a stage play. The choice is yours."

"I heard that our ballet troupe is currently performing 'The Sea Knight'."

"Any young woman with a bit of artistic taste would definitely want to see it."

"But these tickets are hard to buy."

"It's not something you can just go see whenever you want."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu asked Li Feng with some suspicion.

"Can Zhu Ting really come with me to watch?"

Li Feng spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

After Li Feng finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

However, Sha Zhu stopped him.

He couldn't help but smile apologetically at Li Feng at this moment.

"Brother, how could I not trust you?"

"I'll ask someone to get me the tickets tomorrow."

Li Feng nodded and said.

"Okay then."

Then Li Feng remembered something else, so he asked Sha Zhu.

"Did you get my industrial vouchers?"

Sha Zhu then remembered that he hadn't given the industrial vouchers to Li Feng yet, so he took them out of his drawer and gave them to Li Feng.

At this moment, Li Feng looked at the industrial vouchers in his hand and was in a great mood.

Then he smiled and patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder.

"If you have any questions in the future, just ask me."

Sha Zhu smiled and nodded at Li Feng.

"If I can win over Zhu Ting, I'll thank you however you want."

Li Feng couldn't help but comfort Sha Zhu.

"As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way. I believe you will definitely succeed."
