The strong fisherman in the courtyard

"Okay, wait for me at the entrance of Bada Hutong on the day off. I will definitely be there around 10 am."

Li Ming saw that the fish had taken the bait, but he was not bored at the moment. The main reason was that the things he threw out would tempt even a temporary worker. How could Ma Hua really run away?

"I understand, Brother Li."

"Okay, I'll go first, see you this weekend."

Li Ming turned around and waved his hand, then walked towards the Sangu office. After fishing for a while in the office, it was time to get off work.

Today's work was not in vain. At least He Yuzhu's right-hand man in Ma Hua is gone. He has definitely poached Li Ming's talent!

As for He Yuzhu's chance to become a big leader in the future, Li Ming didn't think much of it. His family had been poor peasants for three generations, and only his father and mother were doing better now, but they were both workers, living a stable and comfortable life.

Although Li Ming looked down on him, he still wanted to give He Yuzhu the opportunity. Ever since He Yuzhu started to target the Li family, He Yuzhu's fate was determined by Li Ming!

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

As soon as Li Ming returned home with his father, Xu Damao came to visit him directly.

"Uncle Li, I'm planning to treat Brother Ming to a meal. What do you think?"

As soon as Xu Damao came in, he greeted Li's father and mother, as well as Li Rui and Li Ming. Apart from anything else, this set of operations is definitely better than that of Sha Zhu or "Green Hat Brother".

Father Li turned his head and looked at his son. Although he thought that the Xu father and son were not good people, his son could not deal with the beasts of the Jia family in the yard every day. He had to find someone familiar to chat with him.

Although Li Ming didn't know Xu Damao's age, he was sure that Xu Damao was older than him. Now that people call him Brother Cheng'er, we should be grateful for his courtesy.

If it really is a sugar-coated bullet, then eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet to He Yuzhu. I think Shazhu won't mind.

The most important thing is that in the original drama, Sha Zhu’s lifelong enemy is Xu Damao. Although Xu Damao did not cause much harm to He Yuzhu, Li Ming doesn’t mind helping Xu Damao!

Now Xu Damao and He Yuzhu have already shown some signs of not getting along, and Li Ming likes this very much!

"No problem, Brother Damao, shall we go?"

Comrade Li Ming advocated that if someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet. When Xu Damao heard this laugh, he became even more enthusiastic.

"Come on, I'll take you out for a meal so we can have a good chat."

Xu Damao was overjoyed to see that Li Ming agreed. He grabbed Li Ming's arm and they walked out.

"Mom and Dad, I'm going out to eat. You two can eat at home."

"Go ahead and be safe."

"Come back soon!"

"Got it~"

The two of them went straight to Donglaishun together. In fact, Li Ming did not expect Xu Damao to be so generous. Not to mention that food is hard to buy now, the price on the black market has increased.

Even the mutton at Donglaishun has gone up in price, and they even have to make reservations in advance.

Li Ming followed Xu Damao on the way to Donglaishun, and then he found out that Xu Damao had booked today's table at Donglaishun a long time ago, which was very thoughtful of him.

Laishun in Chengdong, Sijiu City at this moment is an extremely famous hotpot restaurant, famous for its authentic mutton and unique seasonings.

Donglaishun's hotpot has become the favorite of the people in Beijing in winter. Whether it is a gathering with friends and relatives or a dinner with colleagues from the company, they are willing to come here to enjoy a steaming hot mutton hotpot.

It is especially famous for its handmade mutton, clear soup base and unique side dishes. The hotpot that Li Ming and his friends are going to have tonight in the middle of winter will definitely be delicious.

Donglaishun's hand-cut mutton is made with extremely finely selected ingredients, using only five parts of the meat: the upper brain, big three-fork, small three-fork, inner thigh, and cucumber strips, from castrated high-quality small-tailed sheep produced in the sheep-producing area of ​​Xilin Gol League in Inner Mongolia.

The meat is tender and has no smell. After being cooked in the base soup, it tastes fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and extremely delicious.

Moreover, the mutton slices at Donglaishun are cut thinly, evenly, neatly and beautifully. Half a kilogram of mutton can be cut into 20 to 8 slices of 80 cm long and 100 cm wide. Each slice weighs only 4.5 grams, and each slice is folded in half with clear texture.

At least He Yuzhui should not be able to do this job now.

Paired with Donglaishun’s hot pot condiments, it’s simply divine.

Including sesame paste, Shaoxing wine, fermented tofu, pickled chives, braised shrimp oil, soy sauce, chili oil, chopped green onions, coriander, etc., it combines a variety of flavors such as fragrant, salty, spicy, braised, fermented, and fresh. In general, Donglaishun's mutton is tender and juicy, with a delicate taste, and paired with unique seasonings, it is unforgettable.

Chapter 106 Xu Damao invites us to dinner

Donglaishun, next to the brass hot pot bubbling with steam.

Xu Damao and Li Ming were feasting on the meal.

"The mutton from Donglaishun has to be the best!" Li Ming wiped his mouth, lit a cigarette for himself, and handed another cigarette to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao nodded in agreement, took the cigarette and put it in his mouth. Li Ming watched as the red oil on his mouth seeped into the cigarette butt. This guy was really not a clean guy.

Fortunately, Li Ming was kind-hearted and separated Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao, otherwise it would have been bad for both of them.

"That's definitely the case! These small-tailed sheep were brought back from Inner Mongolia when they came to Donglaishun. Even though we two brothers are having a spicy hotpot today, it would be even better if it had a clear soup base."

"It's spicy, too. It's nice to sweat on such a cold day."

"That's what Mingzi said!"

"Brother, I saw you dealing with the Jia family and He Yuzhu yesterday. Tell me, brother, this is something you have such skills!" Xu Damao raised a finger and shook it at Li Ming.

Now that they were familiar with each other, Xu Damao began to act like an older brother. However, Li Ming did not care. It was not a big deal to take advantage of him verbally, not to mention that Xu Damao was indeed a bit older.

"Hey, it's just a normal situation, haha." Li Ming responded with a smile. Xu Damao must have been trying to show goodwill by inviting him to dinner today, hoping to bring the two of them closer. Li Ming didn't care.

It is indeed a good thing to get close to Xu Damao. When Xu Damao is dealing with He Yuzhu, he will be there to check for omissions and make up for the deficiencies. He will definitely be able to teach Sha Zhu a few good lessons.

If something really happens, Xu Damao can still take over, how great!

If Xu Damao knew what Li Ming was thinking, he would definitely complain, "Brothers are connected with you, but you use your brains with your brothers~"

"Next time you have something good to do, call me! I also dislike Sha Zhu. If I can give him some eye drops, I will be happy for several days!"

Li Ming knew that this was what Xu Damao wanted. He didn't know whether Xu Damao had other needs in showing kindness to him, but when it came to dealing with He Yuzhu, this was definitely what Xu Damao wanted, and it was his most urgent need.

After all, these two people don't get along, and it can be seen since they were young.

Li Ming raised the wine in his glass and said, "No problem, Brother Damao, I'll take you with me next time I have the chance."

"Okay." Xu Damao and Li Ming touched each other, "But don't call me if you want to fight. I, your brother, can't beat that big fool in a one-on-one fight!"

"Haha, don't worry, I won't look for anyone for someone like Shazhu."

The atmosphere between the two of them at the dining table was quite lively. At least, they both wanted to deal with He Yuzhu, so their front was united.

Xu Damao was drunk, but Li Ming was fine. He supported the dizzy Xu Damao and walked towards the courtyard.

With Xu Damao's limited capacity, why would he want to drink three cups, one big and one small, in the future? He really doesn't understand his own business.

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

Backyard, Xu Damao's house.

"Uncle Xu, I've brought Brother Damao back, please accept it!"

Li Ming came into the house and called out "Uncle Xu" in a careless manner. As for Xu's mother? Now she has been transferred to a wealthy family as a nanny. She rarely goes home every day and usually lives in the host's house.

Ever since Li Ming ruined Xu Damao's good fortune last time, the Lou family even dismissed Xu's mother.

Xu Fugui took Xu Damao over with a smile, "Sorry to bother you Mingzi, this kid can't drink much, but he's happy to drink a few sips every day!"

"Well, it's not a big deal. I'll leave Brother Damao to you. I'll go back first."

"Okay, okay. You two brothers should move around more often in the future."

"no problem."

Front yard, Li's house.

"I'm back!"

"Wash up and go to bed." Li's mother heard her son's voice coming out from the living room at the back.

"Okay, let's go now."

. . . . . .

The next day.

When Li Ming packed up and was about to go to work, he heard the cursing voice of Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court.

"You stupid Zhuzi, stay away from our Huairu!"

Seeing this, Li Ming looked to the back of the corridor and saw Jia Zhang hitting He Yuzhu with a broom.

"Mom, Zhuzi just said something to me."

Jia Zhang threw down the broom, walked up to Qin Huairu and slapped her, "You little slut, you are the daughter-in-law of our Jia family, why are you calling Sha Zhu so intimate!"

Qin Huairu covered her face with her hands, looking aggrieved and didn't say anything else. She picked up the basin on the ground and walked into the house.

"Wait, I will definitely tell Dongxu when he comes back and let him deal with you again!"

Jia Zhang cursed at Qin Huairu who was returning to her room, then turned around and stared at He Yuzhu with vicious eyes, "Silly Zhu, what are you looking at? Do you have a problem with me beating my own daughter-in-law?"

He Yuzhu opened his mouth, closed it again, shook his head and walked out.

Li Ming saw this idiot Zhu walking out, and he had no intention of meeting him, so he left the yard one step ahead. He planned to go to the steel rolling mill and publicize the behavior of He Yuzhu that was scolded this morning.

Just now, Jia Zhang said that she would wait for Jia Dongxu to come back and tell him. Li Ming was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Jia Zhang wasting her breath, so he decided to publicize the matter directly at the steel mill, which helped Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu. How great!

Office of Section 3, Purchasing Department of Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Ming pushed the door open with a bag of melon seeds he bought on the street, "Come on, come on, eat some melon seeds!"

Throwing the melon seeds on the desk, without Li Ming saying anything, everyone else rushed over and started eating a handful of melon seeds.

"Hey, why did Mingzi buy melon seeds today?" Xu Qiang looked at Li Ming with a smile, but he kept stuffing melon seeds into his mouth.

Li Ming rolled his eyes. These salted fish eat faster than catfish!

"We just happened to meet on the road, so I asked for some."

"Do you guys want to hear some fresh gossip?"

"Hmm?"*5.

"Listen."*5.

Some brought cigarettes, some brought hot water. Within two minutes, Li Ming was served comfortably by five people.

He drank a sip of water happily and said, "When I came to work today, I happened to hear Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court scolding Sha Zhu."

"What's going on?" Zhou Tian lit a cigarette for Li Ming and asked with a smile.

"He Yuzhu got up this morning and chatted with Qin Huairu. Hehe, Jia Zhang saw them."

"This Jia Zhang called Qin Huairu a little slut and even slapped Qin Huairu in the face." Li Ming happily told what he saw in the morning.

"This idiot Zhu was planning to settle a dispute with Jia Zhang, but when he saw his beloved sister Qin got slapped because of him, he shut up and came to work in a sullen mood, hehe."

Li Ming is not afraid of big things when he is watching the excitement. If it is not a big thing, how can Jia Dongxu know the situation? How can he make things bigger? That must be relying on this group of lovely colleagues in front of him!

Chapter 107 Another Meal

"Why do I feel like Qin Huairu always gets slapped? I think you slapped that woman last time, too?"

Wu Gang always felt that Qin Huairu had some problem, otherwise why did he always get slapped?

"That's nonsense. Jia Dongxu's wife doesn't sound like a decent person. Who gets slapped in the face every day?"

Zheng Ping added.

"Hiss, my stomach hurts, I'm going to leave first."

"I have to pee urgently, haha."

"I'll go take a look."*2. Wu Gang and Zheng Ping looked at each other and said in unison.

Xu Qiang also stood up slowly, "I just remembered that the section chief has a meeting today, I can't forget it."

Li Ming was speechless, he knew that this group of people were planning to go out and promote their style, but why didn't you just say it directly, why did you have to find such lame excuses?

And he can’t just give a new excuse. Comrade Li Ming is tired of hearing it!

Li Ming waited until the group of people left, then sat in the house and pondered for a while. He realized that today was also a bad day, so it would be better to go to Jinshui River to fish on the ice. He walked to where the fishing rod was, picked up his gear and walked out.

As for what will happen to the steel mill next, it has nothing to do with Mr. Li, he is just a carrier of gossip.

. . . . . .
