Chapter 781: Ghost
Then Suning's life returned to normal again. It was almost impossible to be a pure otaku. In this era, every laborer was assigned a job. This might be the most unique charm of this era. At least there was not a single so-called fat person on the street, but everyone was full of infinite energy.

Suning rode his 28-meter-long shoulder pole to go to work at the guesthouse. Watching the snow on the roadside melting little by little, he realized that it was soon time to build his own house. He knew that it would be very troublesome to contact the construction team. The old house he lived in now was built brick by brick by Zhou Zhigang. Originally, Suning wanted to imitate Zhou Zhigang's operation and build a house by himself, but Ma Shouchang and Qu Xiuzhen's sudden act of gratitude disrupted his plan.

"Bingkun." Suning, who was riding a bicycle leisurely, was suddenly caught up by Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing.

"National Day? Catching up? Are you going to work?" Suning stopped his bicycle and turned to look at his two former good friends.

"Yeah! I heard that you are now working at the company's guesthouse?" Xiao Guoqing looked at Suning in surprise and asked. It was really that Suning was eating too much now.

"Yes! A friend recommended it to me. It makes dumplings and steamed buns." Suning explained with a smile and nodded.

"Bingkun, how much do you make a month in your current job?" Sun Ganchao, who was standing by, couldn't help but look at Su Ning and ask.

"Thirty-eight dollars."

"What? How could it be so much?" Sun Ganchao and Xiao Guoqing immediately widened their eyes in shock. You know, their current salary is only 18 yuan.

"National Day, catch up, you have tasted my buns, if they didn't taste good you wouldn't hire me, so I am now the acting team leader of the guesthouse's pastry class."

"Indeed! I didn't expect that you are the most promising among our young people." Xiao Guoqing and Sun Ganchao looked at each other helplessly, and then Xiao Guoqing smiled bitterly again, which meant that he was completely convinced of Suning.

"National Day, what you said is a bit too serious. I am just two steps faster than you. In fact, it is not a big deal." Suning said with a smile without caring.

"Bingkun, when you become really rich, don't forget us brothers!" Xiao Guoqing first looked at Sun Ganchao beside him, then looked at Su Ning and said with a smile.

"Haha, thanks for your good wishes! If I really become rich in the future, I will definitely take you and Gan Chao with me."

None of the characters in the original drama had a smooth life, and their lives were very frustrating and helpless. Perhaps this is the so-called tragedy in the world. Especially Sun Ganchao, he had experienced all the sufferings in the world, and in the end he chose a very tragic suicide by lying on the railway tracks, just to make his death more meaningful.

Suning's favorite place to go for his previous New World experiences was Hong Kong, but he is now in a major city in Northeast China, so he can't help but want to go to the Russians next door to try his luck. You know, in the late 1980s and early 1990s, international trade was still very profitable. With his own abilities and bugs, he can definitely become the king of trader quickly. As for taking these poor guys flying together, that is also an easy task.

Many readers may think that Suning is not the real Zhou Bingkun, so there is no need for him to take on Zhou Bingkun’s responsibilities to the Zhou family, nor does he need to pretend to be a filial son at home. He can completely go to the free port of Hong Kong alone again. But you must know that this is the second time he has traveled to the world of "The Human World". In the previous life, he has become a family with the Zhou family. Therefore, before he really does his own things, he must first arrange for his family members. Otherwise, he really cannot make his thoughts flow smoothly. After all, it is because of the "system" that he repeatedly arranges himself to travel through "The Human World".

Time passed quickly, and the spring of 1972 arrived as expected. The snow-covered and frozen earth revived again, and a major event finally happened in the Photon Film, which had remained unchanged for many years. A well-organized construction team appeared in the Photon Film, and then, under the watchful eyes of the Photon Film's neighbors, they quickly demolished the old houses of the Zhou family in the Photon Film and the Song family next door, and then began to build at a speed far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Oh my! Where did Zhou Bingkun find this construction team? They look so neat and organized, just like soldiers."

"What do you think? I heard Zhou Bingkun got hold of some cheap building materials and was planning to encourage everyone to build new houses together!"

"Yes! Chunyan's mother also came to our house to inquire, but my husband was reluctant to spend so much money, so he directly refused."

"The Zhou family has indeed always been a prominent part of our Photon Plate. The old house was the only brick and tile house in Photon Plate. Now, only twenty years later, they are rebuilding the house again. I'm sure there will be smoke rising from their ancestral graves."

Today is Suning's day off, and this construction team happens to be composed of AI robots. Before coming to "The World", Suning's impression of AI robots has always been high-tech technology, but this time Suning actually let his AI robots act as "matchmakers" and "construction workers". Sometimes Suning is amused by his own magical operations.

At this time, Suning was holding a film camera and taking pictures non-stop, preparing to record the entire construction process and send it to Zhou Zhigang and others. After all, this was also the most beautiful memory of their Zhou family. Of course, he also heard the discussions of the neighbors around him, but at this time Suning did not care.

When the construction of the house just started, Suning asked Zheng Juan to take Li Suhua to Taiping Hutong to live temporarily. The construction here can be completed in more than two months at most. Moreover, there is no large-scale illegal construction in the photon film now, and the roads are relatively spacious. Therefore, the vehicles arranged by Suning to transport building materials can all drive in, but Suning still arranges to release them secretly from the space world at night and place them next to the construction site. After all, this will save him a lot of trouble.

"Bingkun, where do your mother and Zheng Juan live now?" Qiao Chunyan's mother, who has always been an enthusiastic aunt about Photon Film, naturally ran out early to watch the fun. She was also shocked to see such a big fuss made by Suning.

"I'm temporarily staying at the Zheng family in Taiping Hutong. It will be completed soon anyway, and the cement used is quick-drying cement." Suning put down the camera with a smile on his face, and responded to the curious Aunt Qiao.

"Oh! Bingkun, why don't you let your mother and Zheng Juan stay with us temporarily? It's too inconvenient to go to Taiping Hutong. I know that Zheng Juan's in-laws' house is very small." Aunt Qiao could easily notice Su Ning's alienation, and then she looked at Su Ning in front of her with a forced smile and said.

"It's okay! Just set up a wooden bed at the Zheng family. It won't cause any trouble for Aunt Qiao." Su Ning smiled indifferently and said to Aunt Qiao.

"Bingkun, you are just too polite to me, your aunt."

"Hehe." Su Ning didn't respond to Aunt Qiao, instead continuing to film with his camera. The old house, a symbol of the Zhou family's memories, was slowly disappearing. "Bingkun, you're making such a big fuss right now. It must have cost a lot, right?" Qiao Chunyan's mother asked again, curious and envious, as she watched Su Ning snap away.

"Yes! Initially, I asked you to go ask the neighbors. I was hoping to lower the price by buying more building materials. This opportunity is truly rare. Unfortunately, the neighbors' response wasn't so enthusiastic."

"Bingkun, is it too late for our family to build it together now?" Hearing Suning's explanation again gave her a completely different feeling. Qiao Chunyan's mother couldn't help but look at Suning excitedly and asked.

"No! I have already completed the transaction with the other party and paid them the money first." Suning shook his head and rejected Qiao Chunyan's proposal. Once the opportunity is missed, it will be missed forever.

"Oh! What a pity." At this time, Qiao Chunyan's mother showed an expression of regret on her face.

"Yes! It's really a pity! I originally wanted us to build houses together, and ask the street office to help with the planning, and the sewers and roads could all be built at the same time, but no one seems to care about these things." This was a great thing that could have been accomplished overnight, but it ended up being his own wishful thinking. It's impossible for Suning to say that he doesn't feel it's a pity.

"Bingkun, most houses nowadays are allocated by work units, so those who are capable have moved out of Photon Film. No one has the idea of renovating their houses like your Zhou family." At this time, Qiao Chunyan's mother shook her head with a wry smile, feeling that this matter could not be blamed entirely on the neighbors' short-sightedness.

"That's right!" Suning did not choose to continue arguing with Aunt Qiao. Anyway, they would soon suffer the consequences of their short-sightedness.

"Bingkun, the bun shop on Hongqi Street reopened a while ago, and the street vendor even assigned three workers to work there. Unfortunately, the buns they make are terrible. The old customers are very dissatisfied, and the business isn't as good as it was when you and Zheng Juan were here."

"Aunt Qiao, I now have a formal job at the guesthouse, so I won't interfere in the affairs of the bun shop." Su Ning smiled disdainfully, but he had no intention of helping.

"Bingkun, the street office wants you to contribute the recipe, and they can arrange for your daughter Zheng Juan to work in the bun shop." As expected, Aunt Qiao expressed the street office's idea, which was nothing more than to get the recipe in Suning's hands, and she self-righteously set a condition.

"Impossible! My mother is getting older and older, and Juan'er will only need to stay at home to take care of my mother. Besides, it's impossible for me to donate the bun recipe. It's my signature skill for making a living, so how can I just donate it so easily?" Suning was almost amused by the street office's idea of getting something for free. He really didn't know what these people were thinking about every day. Was he really a fool in their eyes?

"Uh" Qiao Chunyan's mother didn't expect Suning to refuse so directly. In her eyes, this was a great thing.

"Auntie, please don't talk to me about the bun shop anymore. I get so annoyed when I hear about it. You said that Zheng Juan and I were doing well in the past, and we paid a lot of sales to the street every month. Why did you have to shut us down directly?" Even at this moment, Suning still felt very depressed. You know, his business was a mutually beneficial thing in the past.

"Hey! It's because the neighborhood committee received a letter of complaint, saying there's nothing wrong with your health at all, and that the so-called medical record is fake and doesn't fit in with our neighborhood committee's preferential treatment policy. Plus, many people in the neighborhood committee office have their eyes on the bun shop, so..."

"Forget it! Today is a happy day, let's not talk about such disgusting things." Su Ning shook his head at Qiao Chunyan again, not wanting to mention this matter to Qiao's mother again.

"."

At this time, Suning was really furious. It was a happy thing for everyone to let him run the small bun shop, but someone wanted to make trouble. Suning even suspected that it was Gong Weize who reported him. After all, it was just after Gong Weize asked him to do something that he received the notice from the street. The connection between the two was too subtle, and this was very consistent with Gong Weize's later personality and character. In fact, Gong Weize was not a person with a particularly firm stance from beginning to end. Even in the most difficult period, he still accepted cigarettes and alcohol as gifts from others. What's more, as he was promoted in the later period, he became more and more greedy.

But now Suning doesn't want to delve into it any further. What others see as a big deal is just a temporary overhaul in his eyes. Suning has a very detailed and clear plan for his future. The steamed bun shop is just a way for him to kill time and avoid the wood processing factory. In fact, Suning doesn't really value it in his heart.

Su Ning had just arrived at the guesthouse's kitchen and hadn't had time to get busy when the head chef walked in. As soon as he saw Su Ning, he instructed the main focus of the day, "Zhou Bingkun, we have a very important meeting today, and there are several leaders from Guangdong participating, so your pastry team had better prepare some Guangdong noodles."

"Chef, how about we focus on Cantonese noodles for today? The leaders have had a long meeting and they must want to eat some light food, and Cantonese noodles are the most suitable." After the chef explained the focus of today's work, Suning immediately gave his suggestion.

"Okay! You make a menu now and I'll take it to Director Lin for approval." The head chef asked Suning to draw up the menu without making any comment. After all, the menu also needed to go through a strict review process.

"Okay." Suning quickly picked up a pen and started writing on a blank piece of paper.

The variety of Guangdong noodles can be said to be very rich, and Suning mainly chose barbecued pork buns, water chestnut cakes, shrimp dumplings and steamed buns, and finally a glutinous rice chicken. I believe that it will definitely satisfy the leaders attending today. After all, my cooking skills here are a bug that can never be surpassed.

After Director Lin approved the menu of the pastry class, Suning ordered his two pastry chefs to get busy. Because Suning was well-known in the guesthouse for his background, and his superb cooking skills had already conquered all his colleagues, no one would question Suning at all.

Suning personally made the fillings for various types of Guangdong pastries. At this time, his subordinates had also completed the tasks assigned to them. Soon, Suning led two colleagues to get busy. The two colleagues seemed to have become accustomed to Suning's super speed, and cooperated with Suning without any surprise to complete all the work.

When this important meeting ended and dinner started, the pastry class led by Suning immediately took the lead. The Guangdong noodles made by Suning himself were so delicious that all the leaders present happily devoured the food. In the end, everyone realized that everyone had a full stomach.

The leaders who enjoyed the meal naturally praised the cooking skills of the guesthouse's pastry class and began to praise the Cantonese noodles made by the guesthouse as very authentic and delicious, even better than those made by most local Guangdong chefs. Director Lin, who was in charge of the guesthouse, naturally felt excited immediately and naturally conveyed the leaders' praise to the pastry class in the kitchen.
