60s: I have a store

Chapter 245 Going to the City to Buy a Job

At noon, Xu Xiangbei originally wanted to go back to the city, but the enthusiastic old branch secretary and others persuaded him to stay for lunch before going back.

The villagers of Shuangtian Village are very much looking forward to it, wondering if they can eat dishes made from silly roe deer at noon.

If they had not discovered Zhoujiazhuang's generosity in the past two days, they would not have dared to think so. If it were their own village, three silly roe deer would not be too many. Even the people in the village would not be enough to share, let alone give them to people from other villages.

After arriving at the canteen, the villagers of Shuangtian Village discovered that there was indeed an additional dish for lunch: roe deer meat stewed with potatoes.

This dish is also simple and not difficult to make for the "chef" in the village canteen.

First, cut the roe deer meat into small pieces, then soak it in cold water. After the blood is soaked out, put it in a pot with cold water and blanch it. This step is to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. The smell of wild animals is very strong. Take it out and drain the water.

During this time, peel the potatoes, cut into dice and set aside, then pour cooking oil into the pot.

If Zhou Yimin hadn't brought rapeseed oil to their village, how could they be willing to use so much oil? Usually they just use oil to wet the pan a little.

Recently, the villagers have been doing heavy work, and they cannot do without oil.

Then add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer on low heat for about an hour. Finally, add potato cubes and continue simmering for ten to twenty minutes, until the potatoes are soft and the sauce is reduced over high heat.

Liang Huang exclaimed: "I didn't expect Zhoujiazhuang to be so generous. We can have lunch at noon. It would be great if the construction could continue this period."

"That's right. Yesterday Liang Huan wanted to ask me to exchange it back. How is that possible?" Liang Zan said.

Not to mention that he still had a mission assigned by his uncle, and the food in Zhoujiazhuang was much better than that in the commune. Only a fool would change it.

"Yes! They laughed at us at the beginning, saying that we didn't want to go to the commune where there was good food and drink, but went to a village like Zhoujiazhuang, where even having enough to eat would be a problem." Liang Liu also spoke up.

Those who were drawn to come to Zhoujiazhuang at that time had no idea how disappointed they were that they didn’t get to go to the commune. Now they are so happy that they were drawn to come to Zhoujiazhuang.

After Xu Xiangbei finished eating, he wanted to go back, but the old branch secretary stopped him and said, "Engineer Xu, there is some roe deer meat here, I hope you don't mind."

Then, the old branch secretary handed over a whole hind leg of the silly roe deer.

Xu Xiangbei quickly refused: "Old Party Secretary, this is so precious, I can't accept it."

You have to know that Zhoujiazhuang only killed three stupid roe deer, and probably half of them were gone for lunch.

"Engineer Xu, if you don't mind, please accept it. This reservoir would definitely not be built without your help. You are a great benefactor of our village." The old branch secretary said seriously.

Since the old branch secretary said so, Xu Xiangbei could only accept it helplessly, and then he promised seriously: "Old branch secretary, don't worry, I will definitely keep a close eye on this reservoir and will not let any accidents happen."

After receiving Xu Xiangbei's assurance, the old branch secretary was relieved: "Thank you, Engineer Xu."

After Xu Xiangbei took the meat, he rode his bicycle away from Zhoujiazhuang.

The old branch secretary also took the other leg of the silly roe deer to Zhou Yimin's home. After all, Zhou Yimin had helped the village so much, and now he finally had something to give back.

Although the villagers are a little envious, they can still distinguish between the big and small Wangs. Zhoujiazhuang’s current living standards are inseparable from the help of Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin didn't want to accept it at first, but the old man signaled him to accept it.

If he didn't accept it, the old branch secretary would be worried and would not be able to maintain this relationship for long as he kept giving unilaterally. Zhou Yimin thought it made sense and accepted it.

When they were chatting, an unexpected guest arrived. When the old branch secretary saw Zhou Dafu's look, he knew that he wanted to talk to him about something, so he pulled Zhou Dafu aside and said, "Dafu, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Dafu said, "Old Party Secretary, I want to go to the city this afternoon."

He saved more than 200 yuan during this period and borrowed a lot from other people who went hunting in the mountains with him. He wanted to use this money to buy a work station in the city so that he could become a city dweller and live the life he wanted.

The old village chief originally wanted to stop it, as life in the village was getting better and better, so there was actually no need to go to the city to work.

However, he also knew that Zhou Dafu wanted to work in the city, and he couldn't dispel it with just a few words, so he said: "If you really want to find a job in the city, you should ask Yimin for help!"

After all, if a person who has lived in the village for many years rashly spends so much money to buy a work station, he might be cheated and don’t know what will happen.

Zhou Dafu thought for a moment and said, "Old Party Secretary, I want to go and take a look myself. If that doesn't work, I'll ask Uncle Sixteen for help."

If I could find it myself, I wouldn't have to bother Uncle Sixteen.

The main reason was that he felt embarrassed to trouble his Sixteenth Uncle. Every time he went into the city, he had to trouble his Sixteenth Uncle.

The old branch secretary wanted to say something, but finally swallowed his words back.

He had watched the younger generation grow up, so how could he not know what kind of person Zhou Dafu was? He just said, "Forget it, whatever you want! If you can't handle it, be sure to ask your sixteenth uncle for help. Come with me!"

Afterwards, the old branch secretary wrote a letter of introduction to Chow Tai Fook.

"Thank you, old branch secretary!" Zhou Dafu said happily after taking the letter of introduction.

After going out, he headed straight for Sijiu City.

It takes a lot of time to walk from Zhoujiazhuang to the city. If everything goes well, it can be done in an afternoon and you can save some accommodation costs.

In fact, after arriving in the city, you can also stay with other people for a night.

Chow Tai Fook first came to the steel mill because he knew that among all the cities in the city, the steel mill had the best treatment and the most sought-after jobs, so this was also his first target.

Since it is working hours now, there are no people coming and going.

I walked around outside the steel plant but found no clues. I was completely like a headless fly.

At this moment, he realized that it would be most convenient to find Uncle Sixteen, and his sudden self-esteem seemed a little ridiculous.

Being naive, he even asked a few questions to the steel mill guard and offered him a cigarette, causing the guard to look at him strangely.

Although buying and selling positions is a normal operation and many people do it, but you came to the factory gate to ask openly, aren't you too bold?
At least in private, right?
If it were so easy to get into a steel plant, there wouldn't be so many young people waiting to be unemployed.

A few hundred dollars is something that many families in the city can still afford if they grit their teeth.

Sometimes it’s not a question of money, it depends on whether there are vacancies. If there are no vacancies, someone has to sell the job.

Seeing that Chow Tai Fook was sincere, the security guard gave him a cigarette and had no choice but to show him a way out.
