After leaving the rolling mill, Su Chen had plenty of time, so he rode his bicycle to Dongdan Market.
There were many kinds of vegetables in the grotto-heaven, enough for daily consumption.
However, he still needed to buy all kinds of meat and eggs.
Su Chen did not care about himself, but it was mainly Li Xiaorou. Su Chen had to consider her nutrition.
The grotto-heaven had a preservation function, so Su Chen bought a lot of things this time.
When he was at the market, Su Chen could not bring the things into the grotto-heaven, so he could only carry them in his hands.
The bags were big and small, and they looked very eye-catching.
The stall owners at the market thought that Su Chen was in charge of purchasing.
They tried their best to build a relationship with him, hoping to establish a cooperative relationship with Su Chen.
It was a pity that he did not meet a big seller. Otherwise, Su Chen would really want to cooperate with them.
After all, Su Chen would be in charge of the steel mill's future purchases.
Since he had accepted this job, Su Chen still wanted to make some achievements.
The first thing he considered was to do some paperwork on the purchase channels to try to suppress the cost of the purchase. At the same time, he also had to consider the diet of the employees.
With the system's reward of Elementary Cooking, Su Chen could be considered an expert in food matching.
Although it was a beginner cooking skill, it was a reward from the system after all. It was not inferior to a famous chef like Silly Zhu.
When he came out of the market, Su Chen quietly put everything into the grotto-heaven and then rode back easily.
When they were about to reach home, they took out an old hen and a piece of pork from a deserted place for show.
This was also why Su Chen was more cautious.
Otherwise, if he cooked meat at home every day and no one saw him buy it, it would be inevitable that he would be curious.
Therefore, every time Su Chen bought meat, he would deliberately take it back in front of everyone.
Third Uncle, who was munching on melon seeds at the door, saw the good stuff in Su Chen's hand, and his small eyes instantly lit up.
"Su Chen, there's so much delicious food. How can you and Li Xiaorou finish it? Third Uncle still has a bottle of good wine here. Why don't we drink some tonight?”
Su Chen was speechless when he heard that. This Third Master was really good at scheming.
Now that he said there was good wine, if Su Chen really agreed, he would definitely go empty-handed.
"Third Uncle, I'm sorry. There are guests at home tonight!”
"Aiya, that's a pity. Next time when there's no one around, call me!”
"Sigh, such a big piece of pork is too tempting. My entire body is about to water!”
Su Chen ignored him and walked straight back.
Jia Zhangshi hid behind the window of the Jia family's residence, her eyes shining as she peeked out.
Everyone in the Jia family had this problem. They liked to peek at others when they had nothing to do.
"That's strange. That brat, Su Chen, doesn't have a job either. Where did he get the money to buy so much meat? He doesn't even know to give some to our family!”
Jia Zhangshi watched as Su Chen carried all the bags to the deaf old lady's house and could not help but curse.
Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Zhangshi helplessly.
Although Qin Huairu sucked blood as well, she only sucked on certain people, such as Silly Zhu.
This was because Qin Huairu knew that only by building a good relationship with others would others speak up for her.
For example, Master One would often nag in front of Silly Zhu, saying that Qin Huiru was not having it easy and asking Silly Zhu for help.
The reason why Silly Zhu often helped the Jia family was partly because he had feelings for Qin Huiru, and partly because he was bound by First Master's morals.
This was the cleverness of Qin Huairu. She had become a prostitute, and the memorial archway was also firmly erected.
However, Jia Zhangshi was different. She would take advantage of anyone and be greedy for anyone's interests. If she couldn't take advantage of anyone, she would curse people.
Qin Huairu was actually regretting it now. She should not have married into the Jia family back then.
When he was young, he had taken a fancy to Jia Dongxu's handsomeness, but had neglected Silly Zhu, the eligible bachelor.
Even if she married Yan Jiecheng or Liu Guangcai, it would still be better than the Jia family!
"Alright, stop talking. Our family's reputation has already been ruined in the courtyard. Now, everyone is guarding against us like thieves. I've been rejected by several families when I tried to borrow things!”
"What does this have to do with me? It was you and Silly Zhu who made eyes at each other and let everyone know.”
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Qin Huairu felt a lump in her throat, and tears began to fall.
"Alright, alright, stop pretending. I know what's on your mind. You were taken advantage of and didn't get anything.”
Su Chen still did not know that he had only taken some food, but there were actually so many big shows in the courtyard.
When Li Xiaorou saw that Su Chen had returned, she did not want the Deaf Old Lady to accompany her.
The deaf old lady pretended to be angry and said that Li Xiaorou was a little heartless!”
Li Xiaorou was also obedient. She asked for a peach from Su Chen and sent it to the old lady.
The Deaf Old Lady was instantly amused. Her face was smiling like a flower.
Su Chen brought Li Xiaorou home and played with her for a while.
In order for Li Xiaorou to find him, Su Chen had to expose his body every time.
Li Xiaorou was very interesting. Whenever she was hiding, she would hide at the door, and behind the same door.
At this time, Su Chen had to pretend not to know. Even if he passed by the door, he had to turn his back to the door and pretend not to see her.
However, when Li Xiaorou saw that Su Chen was so stupid that he could not notice her, she giggled.
This scene happened a few times a day.
This should have been a boring game, but Su Chen actually found it very interesting when he was accompanying Li Xiaorou, and he enjoyed it very much.
After all, Li Xiaorou was still young. She did not play for long before she fell asleep in Su Chen's arms.
Children were always sleepy and would usually wake up after two hours of sleep. He would just let her have dinner then.
After putting Li Xiaorou down and carefully tucking her in, Su Chen finally had time to prepare for the night.
Su Chen took out the yellow joss paper, brush, and ink and began to make the replacement talisman.
Looking at his calligraphy, Su Chen felt a little embarrassed. It was indeed too ugly.
No wonder even Xu Damao laughed at his handwriting last time.
Su Chen planned to find time to practice every day!
Creating these talismans was not as simple as he had imagined.
It wasn't like the Truth-telling Talisman had the word 'true' written on it, and the Substitute Talisman had the word 'replace' written on it.
After writing on the yellow joss paper, Su Chen still needed to use his mind to comprehend and establish a connection with the talisman.
Only in this way could he control the talisman well.
If these talismans were given to ordinary people, they would not be able to use them directly.
If he wanted ordinary people to use it, Su Chen would have to do a lot of work in advance to set up a special array.
Su Chen made five replacement talismans in a row. He felt that it should be enough, so he stopped.
After packing up, he began to prepare dinner.
Director Zhang and Zhang Fan were coming over, so the food was more sumptuous than usual.
The ingredients in the house were very complete, and soon, delicious dishes were served.
When Superintendent Zhang and the others arrived, Su Chen had already prepared eight dishes and two soups.
There were also two bottles of Niulanshan Erguotou on the table.
Such a luxurious dinner, even Superintendent Zhang's eyes could not help but light up.
The three of them were very close now, so there was no need to be polite. Soon, they began to eat and drink!
Jia family.
Qin Huairu sulked for a long time before the stick, Little Dang, and Huai Hua finally returned from outside.
"Mom, why isn't Silly Zhu back yet? I'm starving!”
The stick guy shouted as soon as he entered the room.
"Awesome, don't be happy too early. I guess that Silly Zhu might not be able to buy anything. He has no money on hand for a long time!" Jia Zhangshi reminded.
"I don't care. Mom and Silly Zhu promised me. If I can't do it, I won't eat tonight!”The stick stuck out its neck and said.
"Don't worry, your silly uncle always keeps his word.”
Qin Huairu was quite confident in Silly Zhu.
Don't look at how carefree Silly Zhu was usually. He could do anything he promised others.
Even so, Qin Huairu still felt a little flustered for some reason.
Perhaps there were too many things to worry about during this period!
Qin Huairu pondered.
"Eh, you're back!" At this moment, Qin Huairu saw Silly Zhu enter the courtyard through the window. He was carrying a bag in each hand as he hurried away.
However, Silly Zhu's appearance was a little strange. He didn't stop after entering the courtyard and jogged home.
Based on Qin Huairu's understanding of Silly Zhu, shouldn't he be showing off in front of her after settling such an important matter?
Why was it different from usual today? She was actually silent.
Qin Huairu was a little worried and decided to take the initiative to go over and take a look.
The door to Shazhu's house closed.
"It's not dark yet. Why are you closing the door?”Qin Huairu thought to herself in annoyance.
In this day and age, every household didn't close their doors when there were people.
Even if there was no one at home when they went to work, they would just close the door. No one locked the door at all.
Qin Huairu pushed the door open, and it was actually locked from the inside.
Silly Zhu heard the sound of the door being pushed open and was shocked. He quickly asked,"Who is it?"
There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.
Qin Huairu felt that something was amiss. She hurriedly replied," I am."
Silly Zhu heaved a sigh of relief.
With a creak, the door opened.
"Silly Zhu, what are you doing? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Did you buy it or not?”
"Of course I bought it!" Silly Zhu proudly pointed at a piece of pork on the table and the machine that had lost its fur.
"Go back and call them over. Didn't the stick want to eat roasted sweet potatoes? I'll start a fire and bury the sweet potatoes inside. They'll be ready to eat in a while!”
When Qin Huairu heard this, she temporarily suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said happily,""Alright, I'll go back and call them."
When they reached the door, Qin Huairu suddenly stopped and said sincerely,""Silly Zhu, thank you. I know you treat me well!”
Looking at Qin Huiru's charming face, Silly Zhu suddenly felt that all the grievances he had suffered over the past few days were worth it.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say impulsively,"Sister Qin, marry me!"
Before he could say anything, Qin Huairu had already stepped out of the door.
"Awesome, Silly Zhu is really prepared this time!”Qin Huairu returned home in a hurry and said smugly while glancing sideways at Jia Zhangshi.
Jia Zhangshi knew that Qin Huairu was talking to her, but since her eldest grandson was back and there was a good meal to eat tonight, she magnanimously did not retort.
"Really? That's great! That's great! This idiot is really something. I thought he was lying to me!”
"Awesome, Little Dang and Huai Hua, I have to remind you today that you have to call Uncle He when you go!”
"Okay, okay, okay. Don't be so long-winded. If there's food, you can call me grandpa. Let's go!" As he spoke, the thug took the lead and rushed out.
"This child, what are you saying? You're messing up the seniority!”Jia Zhangshi said with a smile.
When Third Uncle, who happened to be walking by, heard that Silly Zhu treated the Jia family to a good meal, he was envious and jealous. He thought to himself,"You're messing up your seniority. Isn't your family's mother the one with the milk?”
However, thinking about it was just thinking about it. Thinking about how there were so many delicious dishes at Silly Zhu's house, Third Uncle wondered if he should go and get some later.
"Uncle He!"
"Aiya, your mouth is really sweet today!”
"Uncle He!"
"Uncle He!"
"Hey, hey, the sisters are here too. Come in quickly!”
This was the first time the three siblings called Silly Zhu Uncle He. He was so happy that he almost couldn't find his way.
Soon, the Jia family of five sat around the table. Including Silly Zhu, the table was filled.
"You guys wait. I'll cook the roasted sweet potatoes first. This can be considered an appetizer. We'll have a big meal later!”
Jia Zhang-shi and the children turned around and saw a whole fresh chicken and a big piece of meat on the table. They all drooled.
Qin Huairu hurriedly used her apron to wipe away the saliva on Little Sophorum Flower's face.
In the backyard, Su Chen, Superintendent Zhang, and the others ate and drank for a while. When they felt that it was about time, they greeted each other and got up to go to the toilet.
Actually, he didn't really want it to be convenient. It was just that there was a distance limit to the use of the replacement talisman. The system hadn't been upgraded yet, so it could only be used within a five-meter range.
Su Chen did not need to go to the middle court. He walked to the back wall of Shazhu's house and could hear the warm atmosphere coming from inside through the window.
"You guys wait. I'll put the sweet potatoes in. You can eat them in a while!”
It was better to come early than late, just as Silly Zhu was putting sweet potatoes.
After waiting for another minute or so, Su Chen took out five replacement talismans.
Su Chen was not afraid of wasting it. He spent five luck points in one go and activated all five replacement talismans.
"Substitute!"
With a soft shout, the five replacement talismans emitted a circle of light at the same time.
Then, five rays of light rose from the talisman and entered through the window of Shazhu's house.
Success!
Su Chen quickly returned home.
"Superintendent Zhang, no, Deputy Director Zhang, let's celebrate your promotion!”
The two clinked their glasses and downed it in one gulp.
Bang... Bang...
At this moment, a loud explosion came from the direction of Shazhu's house.
In the middle of it, there were people's exclamations.
