Chapter 47: Hand-cranked gramophone

When he returned to his office, He Yuzhu did not torture the two apprentices anymore. Just like the strings of a piano, it is not good to keep tightening them too tight. He spent the afternoon with a pot of tea and a few miscellaneous books.

When he was tired of reading, He Yuzhu took the opportunity to check the breeding status of the animal population in the space.

The populations of sika deer and silly roe deer have not changed, but their size has increased a lot, while the population of hares has expanded a lot. If He Yuzhu hadn't been imprisoned in a large fruit forest to control the population, it is estimated that there would be several times more now.

quantity.

Since almost no life energy can be obtained from killing hares now, He Yuzhu has firmly controlled the population. The current hare groups are kept for beating as sacrifices or as gifts.

The biggest change was in the wild boar group. Some time ago, a female wild boar gave birth to 12 little wild boars. Now the little wild boars have grown to more than 50 kilograms. A large family consumes a lot of food every day. He Yuzhu observed carefully and found that among them

There are 8 male wild boars.

The five ginseng trees planted in the early stage are lush and green, and it seems that they have adapted to the growing environment of the space. The 30 acres of wheat and 5 acres of corn have passed the flowering period, and it seems that a large amount of grain can be harvested early next month.

There are already ripe fruits in the orchard, including red apples, reddish-green peaches, large yellow-orange pears, purple-black grapes, and a lot of fallen chestnut trees. He Yuzhu was busy working,

The harvested fruits were stored in stone rooms.

When harvesting the fruit, he found that the hive brought in when digging the tree last time had become much larger, and the size of the entire bee colony had also increased. So He Yuzhu collected a whole jar of pure wild honey, which weighed almost 4 kilograms.

Only about one-third of the honey is left for the bees as their food.

He Yuzhu stretched out a finger, inserted it into the honey jar, dipped a little honey in it and put it in his mouth. The fragrance was rich, with a light floral fragrance and a bit of sourness, and the aftertaste was sweet and melancholy. It should be a mixture of various nectars.

He felt that this honey was quite good. Well, he could give a bottle to Xu Xiaonan to drink with water. It is said that it can beautify the face.

The announcement of the end of get off work resounded throughout the factory, and He Yuzhu got on his bicycle and prepared to go to the leader's house to visit.

I've been busy with this and that lately, and I haven't been to the big leader's house for a long time. I just don't have anything to do tonight, so I plan to pay a visit.

He Yuzhu passed by the store and asked about the status of fruits these days. Peaches and watermelons have just come on the market, but the quantity is not very large.

With a big watermelon and several kilograms of peaches, He Yuzhu knocked on the door of the big leader's house. The big leader's wife received him warmly, made him a cup of tea and asked him to wait for a while. The big leader should be here soon.

Will be back.

After chatting with the leader's wife for more than ten minutes, He Yuzhu saw the leader walking in accompanied by security guards.

As soon as He Yuzhu stood up, the leader joked: "You kid, you still know how to come to my place? I thought you had forgotten me! If you don't come, I will almost forget the taste of your cooking!"

He Yuzhu said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. Don't be angry. It's my fault. There have been too many things recently. As soon as I got busy, I forgot about you!"

"Hey, it's hard to buy these watermelons and peaches. Where did you buy them?" The leader asked curiously when he saw He Yuzhu bringing the fruits and placing them on the table.

"I didn't buy it, I'm a cook! I know a lot of people, so I asked my friends to help me buy it, just to give you a taste. Otherwise, after a while, when a large amount of it comes on the market, you won't even want to eat it. !”

"You have some conscience," the leader said with a smile.

"You have to show me your skills tonight. I really miss your cooking!"

"That's what I'm here for today! Please lift it up!"

After saying that, He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen of the big leader's house. Well, there were all ordinary ingredients.

But this was not difficult for He Yuzhu. He immediately started making the dishes, and finally made three simple dishes and one soup. Some of the dishes were added with He Yuzhu's secret soup stock, and the taste was undeniable.

While we were having dinner together, the big leader took a few bites and said doubtfully: "Hey, Zhuzhu, did you still have a hidden skill when you cooked here before? The taste today is different from before. This He’s not even a little bit strong!”

He Yuzhu said with a smile: "Nothing, mainly because I have been doing a lot of entertaining recently, and my cooking skills have improved a little, a little!"

"You kid, you know how to be careless. You call this a little bit diligent? How do you think I haven't had a state banquet? Just say that this Mapo Tofu is no worse than what I had at the state banquet. I think it's even better. It tastes even better!”

He Yuzhu said shamelessly: "I don't know what the state banquet tastes like anyway. Just think it tastes good to you!"

These words made the leader's wife couldn't help but smile.

The big leader took another mouthful of food, feeling the ultimate enjoyment of his taste buds, and said with a smile: "You kid, I really don't know what to say about you! Do you want me to introduce you to the state banquet over there?"

He Yuzhu was so frightened that he stood up quickly and said: "Don't leave! I am used to being free and lazy, and I really don't like to be controlled and restrained by others! Besides, I have deep feelings for the steel rolling mill. I really don't like it. Reluctant to leave."

"Don't you regret it? I'm telling you, how happy I would be if someone else could tell me!" the leader asked again.

He Yuzhu responded categorically: "I don't regret it, thank you! I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp!

After the meal, He Yuzhu accompanied the big boss in the study. The two drank tea, played chess, and chatted about everything. They somehow mentioned the subject of He Yuzhu's partner.

He Yuzhu truthfully informed the big boss that he was getting engaged this weekend, and the wedding date was set. The big boss admired He Yuzhu for being able to take care of the old Xu family so quickly. He thought that this kid still had some skills, but he was just a very naughty boy. But I don’t know why, he just likes to deal with this kid, and it feels like he has been friends with him forever.

Before leaving, the senior leader gave He Yuzhu a gift as a gift for his upcoming marriage. Looking at the hand-cranked gramophone handed over by the senior leader, He Yuzhu's eyes were filled with tears and he quickly refused: "Boss, this thing is too expensive. I...I can't ask you for this..."

The main reason is that except for the occasional Sichuan food, the big boss lives a relatively simple life. Apart from electric lights, radios and this hand-cranked gramophone, he has never seen anything else in his home.

There wasn't even an electric fan. He Yuzhu didn't believe that given his status, he wouldn't have the votes for an electric fan.

Therefore, this hand-cranked gramophone was even more precious. He was reluctant to accept this gift. It really made him feel like a gentleman was winning someone's love.

"Okay, don't act like a little girl. Just take what's given to you. Do you think I have to find someone to take it to your home?" The big leader turned around, found a bag, and put all the records in his home.

He put it in and handed it to He Yuzhu again.

"You can take this with you. I'm usually busy with work and don't have much time to listen to this. I'll give this to you in advance as your wedding gift, otherwise I won't have anything good to give you." The big leader said kindly.

Talk to He Yuzhu.

The leader's wife also persuaded her, "Since he drank the medicinal wine you provided, his health has improved a lot, and he has devoted himself to his work. He is busy with work when he comes home and has no time to listen to this!"

In desperation, He Yuzhu could only accept it and return the favor slowly in the future!

Expressing his gratitude to the big leader again, He Yuzhu left the big leader's home with his things, waited for him to ride to a deserted place, and put the things into the space.

He Yuzhu was going to the Pigeon Market to visit Liuzi and find a way out for the more than 20,000 kilograms of grain that the space was about to harvest. After all, he only knew Liuzi, the person in charge of the Pigeon Market, and he had done many transactions, making him a trustworthy partner.

Liu Zi has been having a bit of a rough time recently, mainly because of his selling flour for free. Although the batches were small and the shipments were frequent, it still attracted the attention of interested people, and all kinds of people came to find him.
