Before they reached the entrance of the courtyard, He Yuheng, who had excellent eyesight, could tell that the person standing at the door was Second Uncle.
"Yo, Second Uncle." He Yuheng shouted," I saw you from afar.”
"Yuheng, are you back from work at the meat factory?”
Second Uncle sized up He Yuheng and asked with a smile.
"Yeah, it's my first day at work."
He Yuheng was not surprised that Second Uncle knew that he was working in the meat factory. In a small place like the Siheyuan, every household would know about it in no time, let alone the fact that he was working.
"By the way, Second Uncle, this is for you.”
As He Yuheng spoke, she took out a pound of meat from her bag and handed it to the second uncle.
"Yo, did you bring meat back on your first day at work?”
"I've been transferred. This is a reward for my work.”
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
After Second Uncle finished speaking, he snatched the pork. He Yu smiled and entered the courtyard. Then, she took the meat and gave it to First Uncle and Third Uncle.
When it came to favors, he had to give what he had to. No matter how much he complained about the other party in his heart, he still had to be kind on the surface. This was a favor.
After all, the big guy had lived in this courtyard house for so many years and would still be neighbors in the future. It was not good to make their relationship too stiff.
After the meat was distributed, the old lady's portion was naturally left with He Yuheng. When everything was ready, he could just carry her over. However, he still had to inform the old lady first."Grandma, let's eat meat later. A lot of meat.”
"Eat meat? That's good."
The old lady looked at the meat He Yuheng took out and said loudly.
He Yuheng smiled." We'll have hotpot later. I'll make your portion separately. I'll carry you over when it's done!"”
"Good, as expected of my good grandson!”
After all, people liked to be lively. There was meat to eat and company. The old lady was overjoyed.
However, the old lady was old and her teeth were not good. She had to eat pork. Beef was chewy and difficult to digest.
He Yuheng sliced the pork for the old lady. He had been helping the kitchen since he was young, so his cutting skills were passable. With the help of Paoding cutting the cow, his cutting skills were basically nothing to worry about.
........................................................................
When He Yuzhu got home from work, she saw He Yuheng cutting meat seriously.
"Kid, you told me last night not to take the things from the factory home. Good heavens, you took it on your own on the first day?”
"Big Brother, I didn't do it on a whim. That's the factory's first prize for doing my job well! Both the workshop director and the factory manager knew that he had overdone it! Hurry up, I made some beef tripe, beef tripe, and beef double string. I'll make hotpot later!”
"Not bad, kid. It's your first day at work and you're already so sumptuous.”He Yuzhu's eyes lit up.
"Oh right, do we still have chili at home?"
"Yes, there's still a lot left from the last time I bought it. There's also pepper. I'll go stir-fry it now. However, there's no more sesame oil. Go buy some and I'll get you some oil coupons.
"Alright!"
If the tripe hotpot didn't have sesame oil, it would be soulless. Sesame oil and mashed garlic would be the dipping sauce of the tripe hotpot. If you liked coriander, you could add a little chopped green onion and coriander, add a little oil seasoning, or sprinkle a layer of sesame seeds. It would be very fragrant.
"Brother, where's sister?"
"Here." Speak of the devil.
"Yo, there's so much meat. Looking at you guys, is there going to be a big meal tonight?”
"That's right. Thanks to Yuheng, we're having hotpot tonight!”
"Alright, I'll help too. This is duck intestines, right? I'll handle it.”
He Yuzhu's house was bustling again tonight.
During this period, He Yuheng took some time to go out and buy sesame oil. He also brought back some other things.
"Brother, Sister, let's see what else I bought.”
He Yuheng raised the basket in her hand. It was filled with fresh vegetables.
"Yo, why are there so many? Where did you buy it?"
"Shh!"
He Yuheng quickly signaled for her to speak softly. He Yushui immediately understood that the vegetables were bought privately.
In fact, He Yuheng had gone to the interspace to get all these. With beef and pork, there was no need to take out the rabbits. It was just nice to keep them to give birth. When there were more, she would sell them. Moreover, He Yuheng felt that since he was working in the meat processing factory, he could sell it to the factory. It was convenient and risky.
After He Yuzhu and his sister were busy, the base and ingredients for the hotpot were almost ready. He Yuheng carried the old lady from the backyard to have dinner together.
The rich fragrance of the hotpot filled the entire courtyard. The smell of the hotpot became more and more overbearing the more it was cooked. It could even be smelled by the neighboring courtyards.
However, the person who ate the hotpot still felt that it was not fragrant enough. He shook his head and said,"Unfortunately, it's not butter. Next time, I'll buy some butter from the factory and make it again.”
"Alright, but don't make any mistakes!"
"Of course. I ate it so openly, so I'm not afraid of being reported. I earned it all myself. Oh, right, let me tell you something. I've been transferred.”
He Yuheng said in a casual tone that sounded like " I went to the street to buy a cabbage ".
"What is it? Transferred? What position?"
The people who heard it were shocked. He Yu smiled and took out a transfer document and handed it to her second sister. In the end, her eldest brother snatched it away.
"I hereby transfer the original slaughterhouse worker, He Yuheng, to enjoy a five-level salary for the technical workers of the same slaughterhouse.”
He Yuzhu read it out loud, and the old lady's eyes lit up immediately. Then, she quickly smiled. The few teeth in her mouth were clearly seen because of her smile.
"Skilled workers, level five salary, isn't that 61.70 yuan!”
He Yuzhu immediately counted with her fingers. In this day and age, the salary was fixed, and the salary for each position was fixed.
Skilled workers 'salaries were slightly higher than ordinary workers. As a chef, He Yuzhu was also a skilled worker. Cooking was also a skill. If a man's cooking skills were good, it would be a bonus.
He Yushui looked at He Yuheng in disbelief. She was so surprised that she couldn't speak. He was almost twice as surprised as her big brother.
"To be precise, it's 75 yuan. I don't plan to rest. If we calculate it according to 31 days, my salary is 75 yuan. Adding the subsidy of killing a cow and getting a pound of meat, I can actually break 200 yuan a month.”
"One pound of meat for every cow you kill? There's such a good thing?"
He Yuzhu said in disbelief.
He Yuheng nodded." It's like this. Brother, you've been cooking ingredients all day long. You must know that it's difficult to cut the tendons of beef and the bones of beef are difficult to remove. Therefore, it's actually a time-consuming and laborious job to separate the bones and flesh of the beef. However..." Your little brother, I, can easily kill 20 cows a day.”
"20, that's 10 pounds of meat.”
He Yushui asked in surprise.
"That's right, but it's impossible to bring all the meat back. It's not convenient to bring it back, but if the people in the factory see it, there'll be trouble. So I thought of a good idea.”
He Yuheng stopped at the crucial point. The rest of the people present hurriedly asked,"What good idea? Tell me quickly."
"Hehe, beef is 80 cents per catty and pork is 1.2 yuan per catty. I'll sell them for money.”
"Alright, our Yuheng is quite business-minded!”He Yuzhu smiled and said to He Yushui," However, your behavior is considered that. Speculating and profiteering. You have to be careful of being reported.”
"Hey, big brother, you can rest assured about this. Our workshop director and factory manager He both know and didn't say anything.”
"Alright, then I can rest assured."
Then, He Yuheng took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to his sister.
"Help me fill in the accounts. Brother, I've paid off the 20 yuan I owe you.”
"What do you mean cleared? It's not like he handed it over to me!”
He Yuzhu said indignantly.
But in the end, He Yushui said directly,""If I hand it over to you, will you use it to help Sister Qin? Do you still want to find a sister-in-law for us? If Sister Qin wants to marry you and become our sister-in-law, then I have nothing to say. However, we don't know why. If we continue like this, what's the point of it being endless? Brother, you're already thirty-one years old. Even if you're not anxious, I'm anxious for you.”
............................................................
As soon as He Yushui finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from outside. He Yuzhu hurriedly went to the window to take a look, but he did not see anything. He guessed that it might be a random cat or dog passing by.
However, He Yuheng knew because he had seen a figure flash past the window. It was Qin Huairu, and it was precisely because she saw He Yuheng that she had deliberately taken out the money.
He did not expect his sister to be so cooperative.
He Yushui was actually quite nice to Qin Huiru. However, after He Yuheng's words last night, He Yushui thought about it for the entire night and felt that her younger brother was right. It was fine to help Qin Huiru's family once or twice, but if she kept helping, it would definitely not affect her older brother's marriage.
Especially since Qin Huiru had her own salary. In the future, she could only come and borrow money. Otherwise, it would be no different from raising Qin Huiru's family.
"Yes, I can. Forget about giving it away for free. Not to mention, they would be criticized if they stole things from the factory.”
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu staggered back home.
The rich fragrance made the entire courtyard house restless, not to mention that Qin Huairu's house was so close to He Yuzhu's house.
Qin Huairu looked at her three children's big, sparkling eyes that were filled with desire. Out of her mother's instinct to love her children, she subconsciously wanted to go over and ask He Yuzhu for some food. However, she walked to the window and heard He Yuzhu's words.
All of a sudden, a sense of shame and grievance welled up in her heart.
Marry He Yuzhu?
Qin Huairu had never thought about it, at least not for now.
What made her feel wronged was that she did not expect He Yuzhu to cut off her support so directly.
Over the years, Qin Huairu had gotten used to everyone's financial support. The First Uncle would usually give her some white flour or something that could last her for ten days to half a month. However, the most effective thing was He Yuzhu's leftovers and direct monetary support.
In this kind of day where there was no profit, an adult could eat two to three catties of dry food a day.
Moreover, the noodles and porridge were tasteless. How could they be compared to the dishes cooked in the canteen? Without He Yuzhu's help, Qin Huairu's family's food had obviously dropped by a notch.
Qin Huairu had her own way of obtaining food. However, she needed to suffer a little at times and let the sanctimonious man take advantage of her.
It was said that there were many disputes in front of a widow's door. It was precisely this saying that caused the disputes. Besides, putting aside the label of a widow, everyone was just an ordinary person who worked hard to survive. There was nothing bad about Qin Huairu. The only bad thing was that she was too selfish when it came to He Yuzhu.
After He Yuheng's hotpot was over, He Yuheng helped clear the table. Suddenly, he said to He Yuzhu with a smile,"Brother, I'll go to the black market later.”
"Alright, as long as you don't come back too late."
With permission, He Yuheng quickly tidied up the table and went out.
Actually, it was just right for him to go out at this time.
During the day, the main roads that the city people passed through to and from work would be crowded with small stalls and hawkers, which would affect the traffic. Moreover, most of the trucks from the countryside were not wheeled trucks, but ox carts, donkey carts, and horse carriages. When livestock entered the city, they had to consider the impact of animal excrement on the city's appearance. Therefore, these vehicles were usually only allowed to enter after eight o'clock at night.
These carts would transport many things from the countryside. They were usually agricultural products. In name, they were meant for their relatives, but in reality, they were brought to the city to be sold.
