Siheyuan, counterattack from the proficiency panel

Chapter 29: Election for the Manager (I) Seeking investment and follow-up reading

"Old Chen, are you done yet? I'm hungry."

Chen Jinsong said, "It's almost done. I just checked and there's only one dish left."

Bai Ling said: "I've been craving for it since I heard you say it's so delicious."

In this era of poverty, both the poor common people and the government officials had better eat.

While the three were talking, the person from the kitchen finally arrived to serve the dishes.

The delicious dishes were placed on the table, and the rich aroma instantly perked up everyone.

"smell good?"

Bai Ling couldn't help but say.

"Gululu..."

Stimulated by the fragrance, Zheng Chaoyang's stomach couldn't help but growl.

Zheng Chaoyang did not feel embarrassed, but smiled and said: "I have been looking forward to the welcoming banquet that Lao Chen mentioned since this morning, so I ate a piece of cold steamed bread when I got up this morning. I am already hungry now."

Bai Ling rolled her eyes at Zheng Chaoyang, feeling a little embarrassed? !
Chen Jinsong swallowed his saliva and said, "Then let's start eating."

"Then I'm welcome."

The three of them began to feast on the food. The dishes continued to be served. When Zheng Chaoyang saw the stewed beef brisket with potatoes, his eyes lit up.

This was his personal favorite dish, so as soon as it was put down, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

Then he couldn't help but close his eyes in enjoyment, and murmured, "This is the taste, Bai Ling, this cook is really good, it tastes much better than what you cooked before."

“Virtue, since it tastes good, don’t let me make this dish for you in the future.”

Bai Ling was a little angry.

Zheng Chaoyang smiled awkwardly and said, "I am just talking about the facts. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Back then, the two of them fell in love because of this dish of stewed beef brisket with potatoes.

The first time Bai Ling cooked, she made his favorite dishes, stewed beef brisket with potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but the taste...

Just don’t mention it!

It is a totally unbearable memory!
Chen Jinsong looked upset. The young couple had a quarrel and showed affection in front of him. How could he, an older bachelor, bear this?
I just worked hard and turned my grief and anger into appetite.

Zheng Chaoyang lowered his head and found that most of the beef in his favorite dish, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, had been gone, leaving only the yellow potatoes.

"Fuck, Lao Chen, you shameless thing, why don't you eat other dishes instead of snatching them from me..."

The two of them started fighting over a dish, and Bai Ling couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand.

"How embarrassing!!"

While saying this, Bai Ling's hands were not idle at all. Whether it was Pingqiao tofu, braised pork or sweet and sour pork tenderloin, they all whetted her appetite.

She is a typical Shanghai girl with a light diet. She really can't eat spicy food at all.

However, the two gentlemen, Chen Jinsong and Zheng Chaoyang, prefer Sichuan cuisine with stronger flavors.

Several people ate the meal cleanly. If it weren't for the sake of face, Zheng Chaoyang and Chen Jinsong would have licked the plates clean.

Zheng Chaoyang wiped his mouth with a towel and said, "Old Chen, I have to say that you found the right person this time. If you can keep this person in our Military Control Commission, wouldn't we be able to have a special meal every now and then in the future?"

Chen Jinsong said without hesitation: "You are probably overthinking it. He Yuzhu is also a treasure in the kitchen of the steel mill. When I went there for secondment, Director Li from the canteen department repeatedly told me to help take good care of He Yuzhu. Isn't this a disguised reminder for me to release him as soon as I am done?"

"That's a shame."

Zheng Chaoyang sighed. He still remembered that he and Lao Hao had destroyed all the eggs in the canteen in order to steal some eggs.

For this reason, the quartermaster personally took the two people to see Lao Luobo. It was so embarrassing...

Bai Ling said: "It's not that there is no way."

Chen Jinsong became interested and asked, "Bai Ling, do you have a solution?"

Bai Ling said, "I played with the little girl you brought with me this morning, and I know everything about her. The brother and sister depend on each other, and he brought her here because he was worried about her. If we agree to help take care of Xiao Yushui, maybe we can have a chance to let him stay."

Chen Jinsong slapped his thigh and said, "What a good idea!!"

Zheng Chaoyang bared his teeth and said, "Old Chen, just talk, can you not be so excited?"

"Aren't I happy?"

"Then you can't slap your thigh?!"

Bai Ling was too lazy to pay attention to these two childish revolutionary comrades and said, "You guys can quarrel, I'm going to the kitchen to talk to He Yuzhu."

Hearing this, Chen Jinsong no longer cared about arguing with each other and said, "I'll go too."

Zheng Chaoyang also stood up, and it was obvious that he wanted to go too.

....................................

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu was using some leftover scraps to cook. Wouldn't that provide food for when he returned home in the evening?
There were a lot of ingredients left, so He Yuzhu generously made a few dishes and shared them with everyone.

He Yuzhu made a small half bowl of braised pork for He Yushui and let the girl hide in the corner to eat it.

Then I packed two more lunch boxes and took them back in the evening...

Just when the kitchen was bustling with activity, Zheng Chaoyang, Bai Ling and Chen Jinsong came to the kitchen, calming the noisy atmosphere.

Chen Jinsong sniffed the fragrance in the air, swallowed hard, and said, "You guys go about your business, I'm here to talk to Zhuzi about something."

Although he was full, Zheng Chaoyang was still ravenous, mainly because it smelled so good.

It’s not like he hasn’t eaten special dishes before. When his revolutionary comrade Lao Luobo was the director, he also ate special dishes a lot. But the taste was far inferior to this...

He Yuzhu was in a daze at the moment, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost. The two people next to Chen Jinsong had familiar faces. Aren’t they Bai Ling and Zheng Chaoyang?

He had seen it before, and everyone said that this young couple was the funny one.

But why are they here?

Could it be that there is more than just the world of Love in Siheyuan?

But when I think about how I have become an idiot, what is impossible?

No matter how outrageous the matter is, he can accept it.

But he was still a little unsure, so Chen Jinsong came up to him and said, "Zhu Zi, let me introduce two people to you..."

Seeing He Yuzhu's indifferent look, Chen Jinsong was a little puzzled. He stretched out his hand and waved in front of He Yuzhu, shouting: "Zhuzi? Zhuzi!"

"Ah? What's wrong...what happened? Lao Chen..."

Chen Jinsong wondered, "Zhu Zi, what were you thinking about just now?"

"I was distracted by my thoughts."

He Yuzhu smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "What did you just say?"

Chen Jinsong said: "Let me introduce two people to you."
