Chapter 237: Preparing for the Housewarming Banquet
Ji Xuyuan now works as a record clerk, measurer, accountant and cashier at the sand quarry, and also has a "reception office director".
Anyway, these titles can be appointed by the sand quarry itself.
Write your name, place of origin, position on the letterhead, and sign the "Management Office" of the sand quarry.
Then I spent a full 2 yuan and 30 cents on the red-headed official seal that was carved by someone, and stamped it with a "crackling" sound!
A "letter of appointment" was freshly issued.
This is a worthless title. Luo Xuan just received 20 yuan and gave Ji Xuyuan a position.
Ji Xuyuan needs a job that is very logical and can pretend to be busy, but in fact it is an upright and lazy job.
He needed an excuse to stay in the production team and not have to work in the fields to earn work points.
so,
Ji Xuyuan then willingly spent money to buy various "appointments" from Luo Xuan.
There is quite a bit of selling official positions and wholesale titles in it...
As for Ji Xuyuan, he really needs a title... It would be better to have more titles.
After all, in the production team, there is no such thing as retirement for farmers.
As long as I can't do it to death, you have to do it to death for me!
Ji Xuyuan's current status is that he is already a member of the production team. Although he is old, he still needs to work in the fields to earn work points.
In rural areas, who dares to say that they no longer have to work when they are old?
Uncle Zhao is already 73 this year, and he still has to limp and carry a hoe to the ground every day?
That Mrs. Xiao, who can't even see her eyes, has to fumble around spinning threads with defective cotton?
Also, she relies on eating "headache powder" to stay alive. Doesn't she have to go to the field every day and kneel on the ground to dig up sweet potato vines?
In the past, when Ji Xuyuan first moved to the countryside, he would occasionally go to work in the fields with great interest.
On the surface, what Ji Xuyuan preaches is to "accept the cries of the poor community members."
In his private words, this is called experiencing life.
But Ji Xuyuan didn't do it a few times before he was beaten to death and never wanted to go to the ground again!
Because Ji Xuyuan is a person who pursues perfection in everything he does and likes to do things well.
in the fields,
Ji Xuyuan saw that those members who were enthusiastically engaged in agricultural production and construction were actually lifting their hoe very high. When digging down, the hoe was simply free falling.
There are also some old ladies, although they are sweating profusely from work, they seem to be working very hard.
In fact, most of this sweat was produced by them laughing and joking around and tossing...
People on the east slope threw the stones into the ditch; people on the west side of the ditch picked up the stones and threw them aside.
The old ladies and young boys who were fighting in the field went crazy, and then they picked up rocks and pretended to throw them at each other!
Just flipping over and over again.
In fact, although the stones in the ground have not returned to their original places, they are still in that small area, tossing and turning in circles!
Looking straight at it, Ji Xuyuan frowned and felt inexplicably angry in his heart: If you have some free time, get some yellow mud, put the stones in the ditch, and build an irrigation canal.
Is it bad?
Ji Xuyuan didn't understand the thoughts of the club members, which was normal.
Those club members also can’t understand him!
Why do you, Ji Xuyuan, work so hard?
Everyone lined up in a row to dig in the ground. Why did you dig so hard and dig to the front?
Where does this leave our faces?!
Just show off, can you?
You are the only one who works hard, right?
Your family is full of rice every day, with only a little bit of corn grits mixed into the rice. From time to time, you can also add oil and meat to improve the food.
Our family only eats a bowl of cornstarch and a few pieces of pickled cabbage.
If everyone worked as hard as you, Ji Xuyuan, in less than half an hour, everyone would be so hungry that their chests would press against their backs...
Farm work is solid, but life is empty.
If everyone works according to Ji Xuyuan's style, who can bear it in a few days?
It's okay if your body is overdrawn for 3 or 2 days. Even if it's overdrawn for 3 or 5 months, you can grit your teeth and endure it.
But if you continue to be overdrafted like this for many years, do you really want to take this little life anymore?!
No wonder the life span of rural people is not long. When they are 40 years old, they are already as old as those in their 50s...
Ji Xuyuan went to do farm work several times, and then no longer wanted to go to the fields.
But in the production team, no one can openly be the boss and no one can fail to contribute to the collective.
so,
Now that the sand quarry is very profitable, it has become the best place to resettle Ji Xuyuan...
"Twenty yuan for a piece of paper stamped with a sweet potato stamp?"
Ji Xuyuan blew the ink pad on the "appointment letter",
While complaining, "Luo Xuan, you can't just kill it when it's ripe, right? And you can kill it when it's ripe. Why do you want to catch me and slaughter it alone? No matter how fat the sheep are, they can't withstand you like this."
Luo Xuan stretched out his hand, preparing to take back the appointment letter in his hand, "Is it too expensive? If it's too expensive, just give it back to me. We respect your wishes and will never pluck wool for no reason."
"No! It's just a little money...it's easy to talk to."
Ji Xuyuan's skills are not even a bit better than Luo Xuan's.
He turned around and tightly held the appointment letter in his arms.
He yelled, "Can't you write down all the positions on a piece of paper? It's simply a waste of public property."
"Nonsense!"
Luo Xuan said, "If I don't give you a few more positions, how can I show that you are very busy? Every appointment above is very important...it has a sense of ceremony."
"Comrade Ji, how can you say that I am wasting public property? Comrade Ji, your kind of thinking is unacceptable and very dangerous!"
Luo Xuan said quietly, "A piece of paper can be exchanged for 20 yuan for the public. Can this be called a waste? This is called creating benefits for the public!"
Ji Xuyuan laughed and said, "Stop playing the erhu on my grave, you are talking nonsense! Whose pocket did this money end up in?"
"Alas, I have to severely criticize you on behalf of the sand quarry management cadres."
Luo Xuan sighed, "Comrade Ji, the benefits achieved by the sand mining site are paid as dividends to the brigade and the 6th production team every year!
As for the remaining money, our sand quarry still needs to retain part of it for expanding production.
Does the equipment in the sand mining field need to be reported for wear and tear, and does it need to be upgraded?
And for a management cadre like me, do I need to eat, and do I need to get a salary?"
"On behalf of all the sand quarry managers, I solemnly warn Comrade Ji: Do not maliciously speculate on the true intentions of us managers, and do not throw dirty water on us!"
Ji Xuyuan laughed loudly, counted out 200 yuan and handed it to Luo Xuan.
Among them, 100 yuan was used to buy 5 positions from Luo Xuan.
The other 80 yuan was the money spent to buy the bamboo house from Luo Xuan.
The real gift is actually the remaining 20 yuan.
Ji Xuyuan smiled while counting the money.
He didn't take Luo Xuan's just words seriously at all.
Luo Xuan also smiled... It's quite enjoyable to speak such a special language!
Collecting money is even more satisfying.
The two foxes, one old and the other young, knew exactly what they were doing with the money: Ji Xuyuan was giving gifts to Luo Xuan in disguise, and he was acting like a money-spreading boy!
~~~~
The new residence is completed.
Of course I want to congratulate you on the joy of moving into a new house.
Now the funds for the banquet were obtained through "blackmail".
No, the money for the banquet was "raised".
But in this period, just having money is not enough.
There are more than 200 members in the entire 6th production team, and there may be some cadres from the brigade headquarters who will come to Luo Xuan's housewarming party.
therefore,
To prepare a banquet for about 30 tables, the amount of food, meat, chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetable oil required is not a small sum!
Fortunately, now, the higher authorities advocate simplicity in everything, so there are only a few dishes on a banquet table.
If you want the food to come quickly, make more stews and steamed vegetables!
Make a big pot of stew, put a steamer on it, and prepare 2 cold dishes, and that's pretty much it.
early in the morning,
Luo Xuan asked his third sister-in-law and Uncle Zhang to arrange help, while he took Qiu Xiaogang, Zhou Laoer and others to Hongxing Township.
This Qiu Xiaogang has now developed a habit: no matter whether he has work or not, he will definitely stop outside the bamboo fence courtyard of Luo Xuan's house every day to see what things he has to do today.
Even if Luo Xuan went into the mountains and was not at home, he still had to come over every day to check in.
And after school in the afternoon, he would definitely go to the school dormitory to have a look.
If Luo Xuan is not here, Qiu Xiaogang will have to go to Luo Xuan's rented house for a walk...
This is called professionalism.
At the same time, it was also the rule Luo Xuan set for him: whether there is work to do, one must be there!
A group of people pushed a trolley on their way,
Not long after, we arrived at Hongxing Township.
Standing outside the rental house, Luo Xuan asked them to wait outside.
He entered the house, closed the door, ran to the backyard of the rental house, and ducked into the space.
There are 3 purchased goats in the space, plus the one we raised before, there are a total of 4 fat and strong goats.
He took out two of them, leaving only one ewe for the goat's companion.
Luo Xuan plans to kill 2 goats for soup.
Have a banquet and have many guests.
Serving a pot of thick mutton soup can not only enhance the quality of the banquet, but also save some meat.
These two sheep are estimated to be able to slaughter more than 50 kilograms of meat, and only 1 kilogram and 8 taels of mutton can be distributed on a table.
If these meats were used to stew mutton, it would not be enough for one guy to eat all!
But if you stew it in soup and cut it as thin as paper, you can handle it, and everyone can eat 10 to 8 pieces of mutton to satisfy their cravings.
[The famous Weiyuan mutton soup, the mutton in it is cut very thinly]
After thinking about it,
Luo Xuan returned to the space and caught 10 rabbits.
Stewing soybeans with rabbit is a large portion, rich in oil and water, economical and does not cost much.
While Luo Xuan was catching rabbits, my big wolf and three cubs just sat obediently on the side, turning their heads to watch Luo Xuan's work.
I saw their faces full of curiosity, but they didn't dare to roar, let alone move.
Now these three wolf cubs already know: the rabbit in the space was raised by the two-legged monster in front of them.
Never bite it!
Take the sheep out and give it to Zhou Laosan to hold.
Luo Xuan returned to the house again, took the rabbit out, and asked Zhou Laoer to carry it in the basket on his back.
After sending away the two Zhou brothers, Luo Xuan took Qiu Xiaogang to Fatty Gu's side.
I only have 13 pounds of meat coupons on me, and I only spread 4 taels of meat on a table, which is obviously not enough.
Originally, Luo Xuan planned to go to the frog market and buy some chickens and ducks.
After thinking about it, I feel that I will have a lot of money to spend in the future! It’s better to save a little.
Therefore, it is more cost-effective to buy 30 pounds of fat and satisfying pork belly.
Walking to the door of the catering service club, Luo Xuan gave Qiu Xiaogang a few words to calm him down and asked him to go in and ask for the meat tickets from Fatty Gu.
And I went to the township office to find Zhang Wei.
Now that Qiu Xiaogang and Fatty Gu are familiar with each other, he can just run these small things.
There was no need for him to go to Fatty Gu in person just for such a small amount of money.
Having a little brother makes things easier!
Arriving at the township office, Luo Xuan explained his intention to Zhang Wei.
"Well... the screening team did come down yesterday. But according to the arrangements of the township, they are going to go to Hongxing Township Senior Primary School for a screening first.
Then we will consider going to other production teams and showing two more shows. I estimate that which production team the screening team should go to may ultimately have to be decided by drawing lots."
Zhang Weidao said, "The projection team's target for this time is a total of 3 shows. Your Zhengxing team was not originally planned."
Luo Xuan said, "The plan is not irreversible."
Zhang Wei chuckled, "Aren't there rules and regulations?"
"That can also be broken."
Luo Xuan came closer to Zhang Wei and whispered, "The superiors care about bringing culture to the countryside. The members of the production team are happy to welcome the projection team to the remote rural areas to enrich the members' spare time cultural life... How about this press release?"
"What a girl!"
Zhang Wei learned this dialect from another place in college.
At this moment, I couldn't help but blurt out, "I only know how to watch the fun, but in your eyes, there is valuable news everywhere! You Luo Xuan...
Okay, let me talk to the screening team.
At the school, would you like to move the screening to a later day? You have to discuss this matter with Principal Yuan and the leaders of the Education Office, what do you think?"
“It’s a deal!”
Luo Xuan laughed loudly, "I'll go to the education office right away."
Said,
Luo Huan turned around and left, "Tonight, I am celebrating my housewarming. I have come here to invite Leader Zhang Weida to attend the banquet... Don't give too heavy a gift, that... is not good."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Xuan was already far away.
