When Lin Dongfang and Chen Xueru arrived at the dumpling house, everyone had already arrived. When they saw Lin Dongfang enter, they quickly stood up and greeted him.
"Lin Gong!"
"Lin Gong!"
"Everyone's here. Come, come, let's do it!”Lin Dongfang said.
Lin Dongfang glanced around. There were more than 30 people who came, and there were hundreds of people in the fitter workshop. However, Lin Dongfang could not invite all of them. It would be a bit expensive. Lin Dongfang invited all of them from his own group, and they were on good terms with him.
"Waiter, serve 100 catties of mutton dumplings first!”
Lin Dongfang had prepared three catties of dumplings for each person. In those days, physical labor was hard, and every old man was a big eater. It was normal for two catties of dumplings to be eaten, and there were many people who could eat three catties.
Since he wanted to treat her to a meal, he had to be honest and let her eat her fill. Otherwise, the meal would be boring.
The waiter thought that he had misheard, and Genlin Dongfang confirmed it again." Comrade, how much did you say you wanted?”
"100 catties. Thank you for your hard work. Please hurry up and serve it to us. Everyone is hungry.”
"Sigh! I'll go now." The waiter ran to the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, this is bad, this is bad. Someone in front ordered 100 catties of dumplings, 100 catties!”
"A hundred catties? This is equivalent to our daily supply. Who is so rich?”The shopkeeper exclaimed.
"I really want to hear them say that they are from the rolling mill.”
"Comrades, you all heard it. We have a big customer today. Cheer up and do your work quickly.”The shopkeeper said.
"Little Five, go and tell the day before yesterday that we won't be serving any more customers from now on. Just say that today's dumplings are sold out.”
"Alright!"
Everyone was a little stunned when they heard that Lin Dongfang had ordered 100 catties of dumplings in one go. Initially, they had asked Lin Dongfang to treat them to a meal because they wanted to come over and eat alone. They just wanted to go home and eat some cornbread.
He didn't expect the other party to be so honest. He directly asked for 100 catties. He really wanted to treat everyone to a meal!
"Dongfang, aren't you asking for a little too much? Not only do you need to spend a lot of money, but you also need a lot of hostages.”Zhang Chunsheng said.
"Yeah, Dongfang, don't order too much. We just need to satisfy our cravings. We'll be full after drinking more dumpling soup.”
"No, since we're treating people to a meal, how can we not let them eat their fill? You can eat as much as you want. If 100 catties is not enough, we'll order more.”Lin Dongfang said.
When everyone heard Lin Dongfang's words, they secretly gave him a thumbs up. This person was really particular.
Since Master had said so, what else could he do? Just eat it!!
The dumplings were served in batches. They first served 20 catties, and everyone took a few to satisfy their cravings.
"Lin Gong, who is this comrade beside you?”someone asked.
"I was just about to introduce you guys. This is my new daughter-in-law, Chen Xueru.”
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Xueru. It's a pleasure to meet everyone today. Thank you for taking care of our Dongfang in the past.”
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. We'll definitely support Brother Dongfang.”
"That's right, sister-in-law. In the future, if Lin Gong has any orders, we promise to follow them!”
"Then thank you, everyone. I run a clothing store. If you want to buy clothes in the future, look for me. I'll give you a discount!”
"I was wondering why she looked so familiar. It seems like she's the lady boss of Xueru's clothing store. She's a famous beauty in this area.”
"That's right, Lin Gong. How did you manage to woo sister-in-law?”
"Alright, don't blindly make a fuss. How about this, I'll say a few words.”Lin Dongfang waved his hand to silence everyone.
"I gathered everyone here today for three main purposes.”
"First, I want to thank you. Like my wife said just now, I want to thank everyone for taking care of me. If I, Lin Dongfang, have done anything wrong, please forgive me. I hope everyone will support me in the future!”
"The second is to celebrate. I'm considered lucky to have become an engineer, so I called my brothers out to celebrate.”
"It's not that I'm lucky to be an engineer. I still have to be capable. I hope that everyone can study hard and improve their skills when they go back so that they can become engineers as soon as possible!”
"Alright, learn from Lin Gong and become an engineer as soon as possible!”
"The third meaning is that I'm officially announcing good news to everyone. I'm married, and Xueru and I have registered our marriage.”
"Wuwuwu"
"Kiss me, kiss me!"
"Don't make a fuss. This is something that will happen after we get home. How can I kiss you guys?”Lin Dongfang smiled.
"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After the wine was finished, it was almost time for everyone to disperse.
Lin Dongfang could tell that many people were collecting them for two main reasons. Firstly, they wanted to eat less and bring some home for their wives and children to satisfy their cravings.
Secondly, he was really embarrassed to let Lin Dongfang spend more money. 100 catties of dumplings could already cost a lot of money. If he continued to make them, it would indeed be a little unreasonable.
Lin Dongfang was also very satisfied. Although he had spent a lot today, he had indeed established a solid friendship with these workers through this meal. In the future, if Lin Dongfang had any problems at the rolling mill, they would definitely come and stand up for him.
"Comrade, half of the mutton will be sold as meat tickets. The total is 68 yuan plus 50 catties of meat tickets.”the waiter said.
"Honey, let me do it. I still have a lot of hostages in my hands.”Chen Xueru said.
"No need. You underestimate us working class people. I saved a lot of money before. I won't have to worry about it when I become an engineer!”
"Alright, we'll be family from now on. Everyone is the same!”
"I like hearing that. We'll be a family from now on. Let's go. I'll send you home and pick you up on my bicycle the day after tomorrow!”
"Let everyone know that you, Chen Xueru, are my wife.”
"You imitated my words, you're bad!"
