The next morning, Zhou Ming was still playing chess with Duke Zhou when he heard the sound of banging in the house, and then heard the cheap sister He Yuyu complaining and saying, "Brother, is there an intruder in our house? What are we going to eat?" Are all gone?"
"If it's gone, it's gone! Why don't you go out and buy some breakfast?" Of course Zhou Ming was not in the mood to explain anything to He Yuyu.
"Ah? Then will you give me money?"
Zhou Ming helplessly took out five yuan from the space and handed it directly to He Yuyu sleepily, "Here! Five yuan is enough!"
"Haha, that's enough! That's enough!" He Yuyu burst out laughing when he saw the money.
He Yuyu's laughter was like a magic sound in Zhou Ming's ears, and he had no choice but to cover his head tightly with the quilt, trying to physically block any sound in the room.
Seeing Zhou Ming's behavior, He Yuyu didn't mind at all. He happily took the five yuan and left Zhou Ming's room. When he left and closed the door, he didn't forget to say, "Silly brother, be a good person." Sweet dreams!”
Without He Yuyu's harassment, Zhou Ming fell asleep again. He didn't wake up until 8:30 in the morning, and then stretched out comfortably.
"Hmm~~ It's so damn comfortable!"
After washing his face with cold water and brushing his teeth, Zhou Ming finally woke up completely. Then he thought that He Yuyu had just blackmailed him five yuan, but in fact, giving her one yuan was too much, which made Zhou Ming feel a little heartbroken.
When Zhou Ming was playing with his storage space last night, it was the first time that Zhou Ming felt the wealth of a "poor man", and it was also the first time that he intuitively felt the difficulty of life, so five yuan was really a huge sum for him. payment.
Thinking of all the frustrations in this era, Zhou Ming couldn't help but think of the abominable system. Why did you choose him? He never buys lottery tickets, let alone believes in pie-in-the-sky things.
"System, it's dawn! Come and eat a basket of steamed buns!"
【So annoying! This system is still under maintenance and cannot provide xiaolongbao to the host. I will give you five hundred yuan and buy breakfast by yourself! 】
"What?" Zhou Ming looked in surprise at the five hundred yuan in cash that suddenly appeared in his hand. It was a thick stack of old ten-yuan banknotes.
His excited heart, trembling hands, and exaggeratedly opened mouth all showed Zhou Ming's surprise at this time. When he was convinced again about the five hundred yuan in cash in his hand, Zhou Ming really loved the system.
"Haha, is this the correct way to use the system?"
【……】
It was obvious that the system was also a sleeper. He had just been extorted five yuan by He Yueyue, and he actually got five hundred yuan from the system using the same method.
My current salary at the steel rolling mill is 37.5 yuan, and my annual salary is only 450 yuan. This breakfast money is more than my annual salary. It can really be said to be "arrogant" and inhumane.
Zhou Ming got up to go to work refreshed, looked at the room where mice would cry when they saw it, and left the courtyard without locking the door.
Looking at the street with a very special sense of the times, Zhou Ming has no idea of having breakfast. Zhou Ming, who is a member of the sub-healthy group, gave up the good habit of eating breakfast very early. Instead, he felt a slight feeling of hunger. I feel more awake.
…
Arriving at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, a large factory with tens of thousands of people, Zhou Ming looked at the torrent of workers. While greeting the workers around him, Zhou Ming headed to the second cafeteria of the factory where he worked.
"Morning! Master He!"
"morning!"
…
"Hey, Master He is in a good mood today!" Some workers were talking quietly as they walked.
"Yes! There are only a handful of times when Master He is in a good mood. It seems that today's staff meal is definitely delicious."
"Humph! Don't be too happy first." A worker who lives next to Zhou Ming's courtyard said disapprovingly, "I heard the news that last night He Yuzhu proposed marriage to Qin Huairu in public, but was teased by Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law. Come back."
"Ah? No way!" The nearby workers became excited and turned into people eating melons to inquire, "Is Master He so brave?"
The news of Zhou Ming's proposal of marriage to Qin Huairu spread like this. When Zhou Ming came to the kitchen of the Second Canteen, he found that everyone was talking excitedly.
Of course Zhou Ming knew what they were talking about, but he didn't take it to heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve, which was the so-called "no destruction, no establishment."
If you want to completely get rid of Qin Huairu's entanglement, you must put the matter on the bright side. If you continue to take advantage of it by talking about it like the previous owner, it will be too vulgar and not in line with Zhou Ming's code of conduct.
"Master, are you here?" Ma Hua and Fatty are both his nominal apprentices, which is actually a colleague relationship.
"Well, let's start preparing lunch!"
Seeing that Zhou Ming had no intention of getting angry, everyone in the kitchen felt lucky and felt a little unusual. You must know that Zhou Ming's temper was well-known in the steel rolling mill.
As the team leader of the second canteen's kitchen, Zhou Ming doesn't need to prepare employee meals because of his cooking skills. He only needs to serve several factory leaders from time to time.
However, Zhou Ming, who looked at the busy colleagues and went around, found no serious problems. He only needed to pay attention to personal hygiene and the sanitary environment of the canteen. This can be explained to his colleagues before leaving get off work.
"Fat man, pay attention when you're cutting things, your eyes darting around are very annoying."
"Yes! Master!"
"Ma Hua, shred the potatoes to a standard. Don't be fooled by thinking that it's just a big pot of rice." Looking at his protégé Ma Hua, Zhou Ming said a very philosophical nonsense, "If you mess with your work today, your work will fool you tomorrow!"
"Yes! Master! I understand."
Hearing Zhou Ming constantly regulating the actions of Ma Hua and Fatty, everyone in the kitchen thought that Zhou Ming was in a bad mood and was deliberately trying to find trouble with the two apprentices, so they all worked in fear.
The vegetable washers suddenly became serious and no longer let the mud and vegetable bugs get through casually; the sanitation workers saw rotten vegetable leaves on the ground and hurriedly picked them up and threw them into the bucket; the master who steamed Erhe Noodles and steamed buns, He also worked hard to knead the dough in his hands, without the usual effort.
Big-mouthed Liu Lan is probably the only one who is not afraid of Zhou Ming. She is seen running around in the kitchen with her big butt, and when she passes by Zhou Ming, she will rub against Zhou Ming's body.
Seeing such a silly woman who "provoked" him, Zhou Ming felt no emotion at all. He heard that Liu Lan had a husband who was paralyzed in bed. The reason why he committed himself to Deputy Director Li at the steel rolling mill was because he needed to live well.
Zhou Ming, who came from a later generation, did not reject Liu Lan like the original owner He Yuzhu. Instead, he thought that she was also a pitiful person and there was no need to add pity to her pity.
Seeing that Zhou Ming ignored her "provocation" today, Liu Lan also felt a little surprised. Although she didn't understand why this happened, she soon became bored and couldn't help but run to work with everyone.
Soon it was dinner time at 11:30, and Zhou Ming did not run forward to get food. The feeling of having control over their rations made him feel a little guilty now.
"Hey, today's boiled cabbage is so delicious! Master He must have added lard!"
"Haha, how do you know that Master He is making the staff meal today?"
"Hey! Only Master He in a full-rolled steel mill is of this level."
There is a saying that although Zhou Ming's popularity in the steel rolling mill is not very good, his cooking skills are definitely top-notch. The workers in the steel rolling mill are also convinced, and he has become one of the few people they can brag to outside the factory. Capital.
Zhou Ming was not in the mood to pay attention to the discussions of the workers. He was currently patrolling the warehouse of the Second Canteen. Looking at the small but complete variety of food that was in short supply, Zhou Ming couldn't help but secretly put some into the space. After walking around, he stopped. After that, the variety of food in the storage space became much richer.
When Zhou Ming came out of the warehouse again, he saw Liu Lan, a big-mouthed man, looking around at the door of the warehouse. It was obvious that he was treating himself as a thief again to defend himself.
Zhou Ming deliberately unbuttoned his cotton-padded coat and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it! It's so hot today!"
Seeing Zhou Ming's frank behavior, Liu Lan turned around and left without saying anything. Looking at Liu Lan's squirming big ass, Zhou Ming really wanted to kick her hard.
After a while, all the workers in the front had their meals, and then the kitchen workers also started to eat. Of course, many dishes were reserved in advance, and they would not eat what was left by the workers.
The fat man picked up Zhou Ming's lunch box sensibly, packed a lunch box for Zhou Ming himself, and then handed over two steamed buns, "Master, it's time to eat."
"Well! Sorry to trouble you!"
"It's not troublesome! It's not troublesome at all! It's my great honor to be able to work for my master."
"Well, let's go eat!" Looking at the flattering fat man, Zhou Ming said noncommittally.
"Okay! Master."
Ma Hua, who was eating his meal, was filled with regret at this moment. Every time he was beaten to the punch by the hateful fat man, he missed many opportunities to get close to his master.
When he was about to get off work at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, MCA finally waited for the opportunity to get close to Zhou Ming, filled Zhou Ming's lunch box with food, and then secretly came to Zhou Ming and handed it over.
"Master, I left it for you!"
"What?" Zhou Ming took the lunch box in confusion.
"These are the meals you have to bring every day. I have prepared them for you in advance."
"Oh! I won't take it with me anymore." Zhou Ming shook his head and rejected Ma Hua's kindness, and then explained casually, "After all, we have severed ties with Qin Huairu, you can take it back and eat it yourself!"
"Ah? Master, this is your lunch box."
"It's okay! When you come to work tomorrow morning, just clean it and bring it to me."
"Okay! Master."
"MCA, but you have to be careful, don't get caught by the security team."
"I understand, master!"
…
Walking among the crowd after get off work, Zhou Ming suddenly felt a little confused. Looking at the torrent of workers around him, Zhou Ming felt a little lonely at this time.
In this world, you are the only one who is unique. Your way of thinking is different from theirs. It is also difficult for you to integrate into their lives. Everything seems out of place.
Maybe this was the reason why I wanted to get rid of my neighbors in the courtyard as soon as I traveled through time. I didn't belong to their group at all, and I couldn't stand their behavior.
The Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill is not far from the Siheyuan, and it only takes more than ten minutes to walk there. Zhou Ming didn't feel too tired, so he gave up the idea of buying a bicycle.
"Third uncle, did you finish school very early today?"
"Haha, I have no classes in the afternoon, so I came back early." Yan Bugui looked at Zhou Ming with a smirk on his face, as if Zhou Ming was the "big fat fish" about to eat the bait, "Silly Zhu, there is a new one in our school. Female teacher, do you have time to introduce me to you?"
"Haha, thank you for your concern, Third Uncle." Zhou Ming tactfully rejected Yan Bugui's "kindness", "But do you think the other party can like me, an older young man?"
"Huh? That's not even possible!"
"Haha, the third uncle himself feels guilty!" Looking at the stubborn Yan Bugui, Zhou Ming lost interest in chatting with him, "Forget it! I won't bother the third uncle, maybe my wife is somewhere in the corner. They’re waiting for me in every corner.”
"Uh..." Looking at Zhou Ming who left directly, Yan Bugui felt extremely surprised, "Hey, the big fat fish won't take the bait!"
He had just had a confrontation with Qin Huairu last night. She would definitely not hang around in front of him today. Then Zhou Ming directly opened his door and went home.
The boiled cabbage and Erhe noodle steamed buns eaten in the cafeteria for lunch had long been digested. At this time, Zhou Ming also felt hungry. Then he took out two ounces of pork and some green peppers from the space, plus two eggs, and prepared to make one for dinner. Stir-fried pork and scrambled eggs with green peppers. The staple food is just the two steamed buns with mixed noodles that were stored in the space last night.
Zhou Ming is originally from the north, so he has long been accustomed to a life of pasta-based food. Coupled with the blessing of the original owner from the old capital, he likes pasta even more.
God-level cooking skills are really not something to be fooled, and soon the whole courtyard is filled with the aroma of stir-fried pork and scrambled eggs with green peppers. However, before Zhou Ming can start feasting, an uninvited guest comes to the door.
"Zhuzi, did you eat it so quickly?"
"Ouch! Sir, why don't you sit down and have a drink?"
"No! Qin Huairu's sister Qin Jingru has come over and is at my house now. You guys just want to meet her."
"Master, I made it clear last night that I would no longer have contact with Qin Huairu's family. Why are you trying to embarrass me today?"
"Are Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu closely related? You and Qin Jingru are on a blind date, and what's the matter with Qin Huairu?" Yi Zhonghai gave Zhou Ming a lesson in a grand manner, telling Zhou Ming to be dumb and eat coptis, "If you, He Yuzhu, don't have any ghosts in your heart, then Just meet people openly."
"Yes! Today I was taught a lesson by you again." Zhou Ming looked at Yi Zhonghai dumbfounded, "Let's go! Take me on a blind date!"
"Hmph! That's pretty much it."
