The cannon fodder female supporting role stirs up trouble in period literature
Chapter 172 The Stolen Medicine
Chef Luo wished he could stay in the kitchen all the time. When Hua Rendong asked him to choose a room, Chef Luo directly chose the back room next to the kitchen. Living here would make it convenient for him to study food without affecting the host's daily life.
Hua Rendong wanted him to stay in the guest room which had better lighting and was more comfortable, but Chef Luo thought the guest room was a bit far from the kitchen, making it inconvenient for him to work at any time.
Hua Rendong looked at the distance between the kitchen and the customers. It was only a few steps away. Why did Chef Luo make it sound like it was two miles away?
Since he insisted on living in the back room, Hua Rendong didn't try to persuade him. She just thought about buying a fan for Chef Luo later, otherwise how stuffy the back room would be in the summer.
But apparently Chef Luo, who spent the whole day in the smoky kitchen, didn't feel stuffy.
There was no such thing as a warm house at that time. We had a sumptuous meal in the evening, and the greedy neighbors came and knocked on the door to ask which state-owned restaurant we ordered the food and drinks from.
When they heard that the food was cooked at home, some people wanted to ask Chef Luo to help cook, but they were all rejected by Chef Luo. What a joke! Who would dare to work outside openly at this time?
Besides, he was not short of money. Although he was a distant relative, his new employer paid him a high salary of 100 yuan a month. He only had to cook three meals a day. He was alone, so why did he need to go out and earn that kind of money? If he had that much time, he might as well study new dishes.
After getting up early and eating a Cantonese breakfast prepared by Chef Luo, the three siblings went out happily. Today, Hua Rendong wanted to spend all the tickets in her hand.
Early in the morning, as soon as the department store opened, the three siblings rushed in. At this time, there were not many customers in front of the counters, so the three of them asked around and went straight to the electrical appliance area on the second floor.
After asking around, I found out there were no refrigerators for sale, but I did see an electric freezer.
Compared to refrigerators that can refrigerate and freeze, freezers with only one box can only freeze. In line with the principle of not missing out since it is here, Hua Jindong bought the freezer directly and asked when the refrigerator would be available.
After that, I went around the department store and spent most of the money I had just received on the tickets yesterday. I made three trips back home just for electrical appliances.
All of a sudden, the entire department store knew that a big customer had come today and bought home appliances without even a frown.
Some people guessed that Hua Jindong bought these for her wedding, but other people's weddings only have three turns and one ring at most, so how many turns did this girl have? Especially for things like TVs, freezers, and washing machines, I haven't seen many people prepare these for their weddings.
After all the tickets were spent, the house added two televisions, a freezer, a washing machine, a tape recorder and two electric fans.
Lying on the new bedding, enjoying the electric fan, Chef Luo threw aside the palm-leaf fan that was fluttering with edges. He felt so comfortable.
He was also very satisfied with the large freezer. Although frozen meat was not as delicious as fresh meat, it would go bad if it was not frozen for a while in such a hot day. Not to mention that after having the freezer, he immediately thought of several delicacies suitable for summer.
We make all the ice drinks and popsicles ourselves, and there are so many varieties and no one is the same.
In the following days, Chef Luo cooked various kinds of delicious food for the three siblings. The aroma wafted out, and from time to time someone would knock on Hua Jindong's door carrying a bowl of homemade snacks.
When people send snacks with good intentions, it is impossible for me not to return the favor, right? Chef Luo used the hawthorns from the honeysuckle to make some hawthorn cakes and distributed them to the neighbors. It happened to be hot and people tend to lose their appetites easily. After having the hawthorn cakes, the neighbors all said they were delicious after eating them.
After a while, the relationship with the neighbors was quite good. Compared with the slums, the people living next to the courtyard house where Hua Jindong lived all had their own courtyards, and at most a family had only a dozen people. It was not as noisy as those in the slums, and the neighbors got along more harmoniously, and rarely quarreled from morning to night.
I had only lived in Beijing for half a month and had a telephone installed at home. I received two calls from the department. The first call was about Hua Rendong sending ten bottles of rejuvenation elixir, which Hua Rendong delivered to the department personally.
The second time, they asked for a hundred bottles. Hua Rendong hung up the phone. The amount of liquid medicine she gave Xia Yu was not that much at the beginning. How could they have the nerve to ask for a hundred bottles at once? Was it really because she gave them too easily, making those people think that her liquid medicine was endless?
Because Hua Rendong hung up the phone, there was no news from the other end for several days. It was five days later that the next call came. This time, the person on the other end started negotiating the price with Hua Rendong on the phone. At first, the person said that as long as Hua Rendong was willing, they would pay 100 yuan for a bottle. Hua Rendong sneered and hung up the phone again.
When the call came again, the price became one thousand yuan per bottle.
Hua Rendong asked her to think about it again. After hanging up the phone this time, she directly dialed the phone line. As long as she couldn't get a call from the other end, she would pretend that nothing happened.
Although the price of one thousand yuan per bottle made her very tempted, she could already feel that this matter was not simple. Who knew whether those people were really from the department or had ulterior motives? She should wait for Xia Yu to come back and discuss it before making a decision.
If those people were not backed by departments, the business could still be done and perhaps the price could be raised further.
During this period, there was no news from Xia Yu. Miss Tiezhua would come over occasionally and take away a few ginseng plants from Hua Jindong, and also bring a few carts of fruit. Hua Jindong had tens of thousands of dollars more in his piggy bank, and he also had an additional courtyard house under his name.
The Siheyuan is the private property of the Ma family. It is a three-courtyard house that is better preserved than the one where Hua Jindong lives now.
In addition to exchanging the ginseng for the honeysuckle, there is also the intention to win over the honeysuckle.
Hua Rendong knew it very well. Because Xia Yu trusted Miss Tiezhua and she had gotten along with Secretary Ma and his wife, she was not opposed to cooperating with the Ma family for mutual benefit.
Hua Rendong and his two friends visited all the major attractions in Beijing and took a lot of photos with the imported camera they had just bought from the Friendship Store. All of them were in color, which made Hua Xiaohua and Hua Aidang very happy.
At the beginning of August, Hua Rendong received his salary for July. The various receipts were still the same, but after silently calculating in his mind, he found that he did not get the bonus for the ten bottles of medicine. He guessed that the medicine was previously handed over directly by Xia Yu to the people above, and the people who cheated the medicine from him did not know about the bonus.
It's a pity that the medicine was stolen. I don't know whether those people took it to use it or to study it. But without the prescription, they may not be able to find any results.
But whenever Hua Honeysuckle thought about the existence of such a thing in the department, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
Alas, it was a pity that Xia Yu went out to carry out the mission and Xixi also went into seclusion. She wanted to ask Xixi to help her make a batch of fake medicine but couldn't find anyone.
