Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Chapter 118: Shazhu's Dilemma (First Update)
He Yuzhu is also a scheming person.

It's just that his brain short-circuits in front of Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, but he is smarter than many people in other things.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, a man who is not stingy, to dominate the canteen kitchen for so many years relying on his excellent cooking skills.

If he wanted to make money by doing something tricky in the kitchen, there are actually quite a few ways to do it.

But when he thought that he had arranged for Fatty to keep an eye on He Yuzhu at all times, the worried expression on his face immediately disappeared.

Moreover.

Now, in the cafeteria, only Ma Hua listens to He Yuzhu, while everyone else stays away from him.

It is very difficult for a lone person to do something in public.

He immediately replied with a confident expression: "Uncle, don't worry..."

"I have the final say in the cafeteria now!"

"If He Yuzhu really intends to make a move on my territory, I will definitely make him lose both his wife and his army!"

Uncle Chen nodded: "Just pay attention!"

"If you need any help, you can go to the security department to find your uncle Zhang!"

Wang Dong nodded, and then turned his gaze to Aunt Li: "Aunt..."

“It will be a while before we can grow vegetables…”

"It just so happens that the annex is going to dig a cellar... You can use the excavated soil in the courtyard to grow vegetables!"

"Are the two old hens I brought back before the New Year enough? If not, I'll go to the steel mill to buy more and think of a solution!"

"I've met a lot of buyers recently. They often go to the countryside. If I'm willing to pay, I should be able to buy two more!"

There were a lot of bricks and wood left over from the renovation of the wing and the construction of the kitchen and toilet, so Aunt Li built a chicken coop in the corner of the courtyard.

Not to mention two old hens, I can even raise four.

Aunt Li smiled and answered with high spirits, "Don't worry about the vegetable garden!"

"We definitely don't need to go shopping for groceries this summer! Cucumbers, cowpeas, peppers... I guarantee you'll have plenty to eat!"

"It would be even better if there was a way to buy two more hens."

"If we lay three eggs a day, everyone can have a boiled egg every two days!"

Uncle Chen continued: "Dongzi..."

"Your aunt is definitely the best when it comes to growing vegetables!"

As he spoke, he gave Aunt Li a thumbs up and continued to introduce: "Before entering the Forty-Nine City!"

"Your aunt is a famous vegetable grower in the village!"

"You let her grow vegetables in the courtyard. In three or four months at most, we'll be able to eat fresh vegetables!"

Wang Dong continued: "Uncle, don't just talk about Auntie..."

"You have to get busy yourself!"

"The pork, chicken, and fish we pickled before the New Year are almost ready. They will be put into barrels for smoking soon!"

"Director Wang of the Meat Processing Factory sent someone to look for me again when I was at work today..."

"Ask me if I have any smoked bacon left at home."

"His elder likes it very much and asked me to send him some more this Sunday!"

"I heard from Deputy Director Li of the steel mill that it has become increasingly difficult to get supplies after the Chinese New Year."

"The amount of pork and grain allocated to the steel mill by the meat processing plant and grain station is decreasing!"

"That means the rumors I heard before were true. In the future, supplies in Sijiu City will definitely become increasingly scarce!"

"We must make more bacon, fish, chicken, duck, etc. while we can still buy pork in the city." "Aunt Li, don't worry about the firewood for bacon. Let Grandma Wang's eldest grandson help. We can buy firewood from him."

"I'll tell the public that I brought back a lot of pig offal from banquets outside, plus the fish I caught myself, and plan to smoke them into cured pork intestines, cured pork hearts, cured pork livers, cured pork lungs, and cured fish that can be preserved for a long time..."

"In order to conceal our tracks..."

"From now on, when you host banquets outside, bring back a set of pig offal every month!"

"Salmon, chicken, duck..."

"You have to hide your secrets, and never let anyone find out!"

Perhaps because he had something to do and rediscovered the value and meaning of his life, Uncle Chen changed his decadent mood after his lumbar injury and became confident again.

In Wang Dong’s words!
Now he can not only earn money, but also reduce the burden on his family...

When I marry Chen Jun in the future and have children, he will help take care of the children...

Facing Wang Dong's gaze, he patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Dongzi!"

"Your uncle is a veteran who has fought in wars..."

"Although my lumbar spine is injured and my movements are not as agile as before, my alertness has not been affected. I'm sure it won't affect your important matters!"

"As long as there is a way and it is not illegal..."

"Just bring meat home, I will make all of it into bacon, chicken, duck, fish that can be preserved for a long time..."

For the next two months, He Yuzhu didn't cause any trouble in the cafeteria!

Maybe he was worried that his already low salary would be fined again, or maybe he was worried that the three-year period during which he could not take the exam would be extended again...

He changed his arrogant style and became like an invisible person. He went to get off work on time every day and cooked five big pots of food...

In short, I am exhausted every day and fall asleep on the bed as soon as I get home.

Today is the day when the factory pays wages.

This was also the first time He Yuzhu received a salary after joining the steel rolling mill in the year.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't excited.

He decided to treat himself well tonight and give his sister Yushui a good meal at the same time.

As soon as I received my salary of 27 yuan, I started planning how to spend the money.

My sister He Yushui needs six yuan for meals at school, and two or three yuan to buy notebooks and pens... plus some pocket money, ten yuan is gone!
Although I can eat in the kitchen, they don't provide breakfast, and I need a meal ticket and money for lunch, which costs at least five dollars even if I am frugal.

I also need to give seven dollars to Jia Jia and Qin Huairu...

In the blink of an eye, the salary of 27.5 yuan was reduced to 5.5 yuan.

Meat is getting harder and harder to buy in the market. If I want to have a good meal for my sister, I can only go to the pigeon market to buy expensive meat, which costs two yuan at a time...

In this way...

After working hard for a month, I only have three dollars and fifty cents left after deducting the food expenses. If I continue to save money at this rate, I will never be able to save enough money to marry a wife.

And it is still unknown whether these three dollars and fifty cents can be saved.

What if Qin Huairu came to me with tears in her eyes and asked me to borrow money?

If you lend him the money out of weakness, not only will you not be able to save money, but you will also have to borrow money to live after working hard for a month, which would be a joke.

Ever since leaving the steel mill, He Yuzhu has been thinking about this issue, wondering how to make more money in the future.

Otherwise, the salary from the factory would not be enough to support the Jia family, so he asked Qin Huairu to clean the house and wash clothes for him...

As soon as he entered the house, carrying the pork belly that he had bought at a high price at the pigeon market, Qin Huairu followed him in as if she was watching him.

Looking at the pork belly that He Yuzhu brought back, his eyes lit up!
