Xu Damao did not go back to chat with the elder sisters in the finance department. These elder sisters all had backgrounds. Xu Damao only dared to take advantage of his words. Returning to his equipment room, Xu Damao packed up the projection equipment and discs. I went to the section chief to apply for a movie screening in the countryside.
Xu Damao smiled and said to Lu Wenqiang: "Section Chief, I want to go to the countryside to show movies. Please arrange some better places."
Lu Wenqiang looked at Xu Damao in front of him and couldn't help but wonder. I was wondering if Xu Damao had taken the wrong medicine today, and he actually asked to go to the countryside to show a movie.
Seeing that Lu Wenqiang didn't reply, Xu Damao couldn't help but ask again: "What's wrong, section chief? Is there any problem?"
"No problem, I'm just curious when did you become so aware and take the initiative to apply to go to the countryside to show movies? Didn't you always put off going until the last day?"
After hearing Lu Wenqiang's words, Xu Damao smiled awkwardly and explained: "Section Chief, I used to be a bit lazy, but recently I realized that I can't go on like this, so I want to change my attitude and be more positive. Go to the countryside to relax Movies are my job, and my neighbor Su Wen was promoted to deputy section chief just a few months after he came to the steel rolling mill. I can’t fall behind too much. I also want to make progress, so naturally I have to do my job well.”
Lu Wenqiang nodded after hearing this, expressing his approval of Xu Damao's ideas and changes. "Da Mao, let me arrange for you to go to a few towns in Dongxiang to show movies. It's close to the Chaobai River. The harvest in the past two years has been okay. At least you can't miss food and drink."
"Thank you, section chief."
Lu Wenqiang continued: "Get ready and set off tomorrow morning. I will contact the commune and arrange your food and accommodation. Do you have any questions?"
"No problem, I'll go back and prepare first. Goodbye."
After leaving the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao went to the barber shop to get a short haircut, and he became much more energetic.
Su Wen was in a good mood today. The vacant section chief position was finally taken over by someone. The newly appointed Li Aiguo is a veteran. Su Wen had a very good first impression of him and thought he was easy to get along with.
After get off work, Su Wen went to the vegetable market and bought some dried fungus and vermicelli, planning to go home and stew a chicken to reward himself. He felt that his life was getting better and better. In the vegetable market, he met acquaintances. Everyone said hello to each other and chatted about their current situation, which made him feel very friendly.
Su Wen carried a pheasant taken out of the space and some things bought from the vegetable market back to the courtyard. While he was still in the alley, the crow of the pheasant called out the third uncle.
Seeing Su Wen coming back with the pheasant, the third uncle came up to him with a smile. Su Wen looked at the third uncle coming towards him and greeted him with a smile: "Third uncle, good evening. Are you ready to go for a walk after dinner?"
After hearing this, the third uncle looked at the pheasant and some ingredients in Su Wen's hand. His eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled and said, "Su Wen, where did you get the pheasant? Your third aunt is the best at handling pheasants. It’s easy to pluck hair and clean internal organs, do you want Third Auntie to help you with that?”
Su Wen smiled and said: "I'm also good at the third uncle, so there's no need to trouble the third aunt." "
"The third uncle also has a bottle of Niulanshan given to him during the Spring Festival at home. How about we drink some together in the evening?"
"No need, Third Uncle. I still like to eat dinner by myself." Su Wen walked around the Third Uncle and carried the pheasant back home.
After Su Wen returned home, he started to get busy. He boiled a pot of water, soaked the dried fungus until soft, then cut off the roots and washed them for later use. Then, he soaked the vermicelli in boiling water and cut it into small sections with scissors for later use.
He first plucked the chicken feathers and cleaned the internal organs, then cut the chicken into small pieces and blanched it in boiling water to remove blood foam and impurities. Finally, rinse the chicken pieces with clean water and set aside.
After the preparations were completed, Su Wen began to stew the chicken. He put the chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried until they changed color, then added some bulk white wine and soy sauce and stir-fried evenly. Then add an appropriate amount of water and ginger slices, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly. Add the soaked fungus and vermicelli and add salt to slowly reduce the juice. During the stewing process, Su Wen opened the lid of the pot from time to time to take a look, smelling the alluring aroma, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were also attracted by the aroma coming from Su Wen's kitchen.
"Su Wen, I have a plate of pork head cut at home. How about we have a drink together tonight?" Xu Damao said as he leaned behind Su Wen.
When Su Wen heard Xu Damao's words, he smiled, looked back at him, and said, "Okay, let's have a drink together."
Xu Damao nodded and walked back to his room. After a while, he came out with a plate of chopped pork head. Lou Xiao'e also walked out, holding a bottle of red wine in her hand.
"Sister-in-law Damao, please go sit in the room for a while. You'll be ready soon."
Su Wen glanced at the children gathered around the yard, then took the stewed chicken into the house and closed the door. It's not that Su Wen is unloving, it's just that he really can't afford it. A pot of stewed chicken with fungus vermicelli filled two large bowls.
There was a knock on the door. Su Wen stood up and opened the door. Outside the door stood the deaf old lady who lived next door.
"Xiao Su, your stewed chicken is so fragrant. Can you give the old lady a bowl for me to try?" Su Wen then realized that the deaf old lady was holding a small bowl in her hand. She was blocking the door to ask for it. food.
There is no good way to deal with this old lady Su Wen. At such an old age, Su Wen can't bear the constant presence of someone who is annoying her every day. He had no choice but to take the bowl from her hand and said, "Old lady, please wait a moment. I'll serve you a bowl." Su Wen took the bowl from the deaf old lady's hand and went into the house to fill the deaf old lady with a bowl of meat. Send away.
Su Wen closed the door again and sat down. There was another knock on the door. Su Wen opened the door helplessly and found that it was Officer Li from the street office. He held two pieces of paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Su Wen, this is the real estate buyout certificate given to you by the street office. Xu Damao and you two are also here. This is yours."
Su Wen took the real estate buyout certificate, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that it was a certification document issued by the subdistrict office. "Thank you, Director Li. We are having dinner. Director Li, would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?"
Director Li smiled and said: "No, you guys eat slowly, I have other things to be busy with." After saying that, Director Li left the courtyard.
"It costs 200 yuan to exchange for such a piece of paper. It makes me feel bad just looking at it. You should keep the money you spent." Xu Damao handed the real estate certificate to Lou Xiao'e.
"Xu Damao, what do you know? Is this a matter of 200 yuan? This is proof of supporting the work of the subdistrict office and responding to national policies. Lou Xiao'e carefully folded her life and put it in her pocket."
