After a day of work, it was time for the Red Star Rolling Mill to get off work.
As soon as Li Chengye walked out of the fitter workshop, he saw Xu Damao waiting for him.
"Xiao Li, let's go buy some vegetables. Let's have a good drink tonight.”
Xu Damao was different from Li Chengye. He worked in the publicity department of the rolling mill and was a film projectionist.
The working hours were more special and not as fixed as the workshop workers.
Sometimes, he had nothing to do for ten days to half a month, and sometimes he had to go to the countryside for a few weeks to play movies.
But overall, being a projectionist was definitely an easy job.
"Brother Xu, let's go!"
Li Chengye smiled when he saw Xu Damao calling him. He quickly walked up and put his hand on Xu Damao's shoulder.
The two of them had their arms around each other's shoulders, as if they were real brothers.
Li Chengye, who had the entire Shangchao Group, naturally wouldn't be interested in a meal from Xu Damao.
The main thing was that Li Chengye wanted to know what kind of evil intentions Xu Damao had.
In terms of stinginess and scheming, the entire Siheyuan naturally belonged to the Third Master, Yan Bugui.
Although Xu Damao wasn't as stingy and calculative as Yan Bugui, he wasn't very generous either.
At the very least, he wouldn't treat Li Chengye to a meal for no reason.
If you don't have anything to do, you'll be a thief.
Li Chengye didn't mind playing with Xu Damao. After all, there weren't many entertainment programs in this era. It was too boring.
"Comrade salesperson, give me three catties of that pig head meat!”
"Yes, that peanut. Give me a catty.”
"This is mutton. Mutton is good. It's nutritious to eat mutton in the middle of winter. Comrade, cut me five catties of mutton. My Brother Xu will pay!”
Xu Damao was really willing to spend a lot of money to get information from Li Chengye.
He brought Li Chengye to the market and told him what he wanted to eat. Xu Damao would treat him.
Xu Damao thought that Li Chengye would at most buy some meat, peanuts, cooked vegetables, and a bottle of cheap wine.
However, what Xu Damao did not expect was that Li Chengye would enter the market.
Ha, she treated it as her own home. She bought fish and meat with all her might and even asked him to pay for it.
It had only been a short while, and he had already bought almost 20 yuan worth of things. Xu Damao's heart was bleeding.
In just a short while, he had lost half a month's salary.
"Brother Xu, what do you want to drink? I think this spear platform is not bad!”
Seeing Xu Damao pick up a bottle of red wine with the words " Spear Platform " written on it, Xu Damao's soul almost flew out of his body.
He didn't think about buying good wine. He just wanted to weigh a few cents worth of scattered white wine and bring it back. He didn't think about buying a spear stand.
The price of the spear platform was a special supply in this era. Although the ex-factory price was not outrageous, the price of the black market hype was not ordinary.
If Li Chengye really took away a bottle of spearhead, he would have wasted his months of work.
"Xiao Li, Xiao Li, this is enough for us. The two of us can't eat so much.”
Xu Damao pulled Li Chengye with all his might. He was almost crying. After much persuasion, he took Li Chengye and left the market.
After returning to the courtyard house, the two of them went to Xu Damao's house.
Seeing the table full of dishes, Xu Damao wanted to cry but had no tears. His heart ached to death.
There were so many dishes. Even during the New Year, he would not be willing to eat so many dishes.
These meat dishes were almost enough to hold a banquet.
"It's too wasteful to let this kid eat this meat. Hide some and keep it for me to eat later. Anyway, it's winter and it won't go bad easily.”
Just as Xu Damao was about to divide the meat and vegetables, he saw Li Chengye looking around as if he was looking for something.
"Little Li, what are you looking for?"
Xu Damao asked curiously when he saw Li Chengye's actions.
"Brother Da Mao, where's your side stove? It's more comfortable to have a side stove in winter!”
"This kid sure knows how to eat!"
Xu Damao was secretly resentful. Sooner or later, he would make him pay back with interest.
"It's in the storeroom outside. I haven't made a stove for a long time. I'll go look for it!”
Xu Damao hurriedly said, afraid that Li Chengye would really start rummaging through his house.
She quickly stopped Li Chengye and ran out to turn the furnace.
When Xu Damao found the copper furnace and washed it clean, he almost vomited blood.
Li Chengye had already finished cutting the meat. The table was filled with raw and cooked food, mutton, pig's head, vegetables, and peanuts.
There was only a small piece in the middle of the table, reserved for the copper stove.
What was worse was that Li Chengye had already started eating. He had already eaten one-third of the three catties of pig's head meat.
Xu Damao suspected that Li Chengye would have eaten it if the lamb wasn't raw.
"Brother Xu, hurry up and come over to eat!”
Li Chengye stuffed another piece of crispy and smooth pork head meat into his mouth. The crispy bones were mixed with the fat and lean meat, and he chewed it so hard that his mouth was full of oil.
After eating a large piece of pork belly in a few bites, Xu Damao saw Li Chengye reach out to grab another piece and quickly sat down.
Today's meal had almost made him bankrupt.
If he didn't take a few more bites now, these things would probably go into Li Chengye's stomach.
"Little Li, eat more vegetables. Vegetables are healthy!”
Xu Damao took out a piece of cooked vegetable from the copper stove and put it in Li Chengye's bowl.
If they continued eating, Li Chengye would finish the meat by himself.
"Brother Xu, you eat. I don't like to eat vegetables!”
Li Chengye flipped his chopsticks and placed the vegetables into Xu Damao's bowl.
At the same time, Li Chengye stirred the copper stove with his chopsticks and scooped out all the freshly cooked mutton that Xu Damao had put in.
He opened his mouth and swallowed everything in one go. When he saw this, Xu Damao almost fainted.
"Brother Xu, my body is strong. I don't need to eat. This vegetable is good. Look at you, you're as thin as a monkey. You need to nourish yourself.”
As he spoke, Li Chengye picked up a large pile of vegetables and stuffed them into the copper stove. He brushed them casually and directly took them out and stuffed them into Xu Damao's bowl.
He picked up at least two or three pieces of mutton with his chopsticks and placed them into the copper furnace. After they were cooked, he picked them up and put them into his mouth.
"It's not that I want to criticize your Brother Xu, but look at you. You're as thin as a heavy addict. Where will you find a wife in the future? What if you can't satisfy your wife?”
When Xu Damao heard this, his nose was almost crooked from anger. You eat and drink my food, and you even curse me to be a cuckold.
Is there someone like you?
"Xiao Li, you did a good job last night. It really vented your anger. Come, let me toast you!”
Xu Damao took a deep breath and raised his glass to Li Chengye as he remembered the main purpose of his visit today.
