Siheyuan: Started from a blind date and being cut off

Xu Damao was very confused and couldn't quite understand the meaning of what Li Ye just said.

Li Ye pondered for a moment and then said immediately: "The day after tomorrow our canteen will conduct this year's rating review. Whether we can be rated as a chef depends on this time.

Silly Zhu is an old chef in a canteen. I offended him. Do you think I can pass the review?

I'll be cooking the day after tomorrow, and he might be one of the judges that day."

Xu Damao suddenly realized.

No wonder, no wonder Li Ye claimed to be in trouble just now.

Li Ye is really miserable. One of the apprentices and the chef is a temporary worker, with a salary of seventeen or eighty yuan. The other is a regular worker, with a starting salary of twenty or thirty yuan. There is a very big difference between the two.

"Brother, your situation is a bit difficult to deal with. Silly Zhu is just a jerk and will not take revenge overnight.

You offended him and made him two hundred dollars, so he must be holding a grudge. I'm afraid you, the chef..."

Xu Damao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, shook it a few times, shook out one and handed it to Li Ye.

"Come on, let's finish the cigarette first and don't talk about that."

Li Ye took the cigarette and said in surprise: "Yohoo! Brother Damao had a good life when he was young! He smoked in Greater China."

The price of Chinese cigarettes is not cheap, a pack costs 60 to 70 cents.

Take the salary of an apprentice in Li Ye's cafeteria as an example, it's seventeen and a half yuan a month, and Xu Damao's pack of cigarettes is as much as his day's salary.

You don’t have to have money to buy this cigarette, you also need tickets.

"Hey! Don't say that, it's just so-so."

Xu Damao was so sullen that he almost started shaking.

He is a bachelor, working as a film projectionist in a steel rolling mill, with a monthly salary of over thirty, which is plenty of money.

When he usually goes to the countryside to show short movies, it is common for people in the rural commune to give him some local products in order to let him show two more short movies.

There are not many entertainment projects these days. For farmers in the countryside, nothing can make them happier than being able to watch a short movie when they are not busy with farming.

Normally, a projectionist's job is just to show one scene.

The villagers refused to do it! Finally the movie projectionist came and had to let him show two more shows to have some fun.

So, it was normal for a whole village of hundreds of people to give Xu Damao a chicken and some local specialties so that he could play two more shows.

This souvenir was evenly distributed to each villager and was negligible. They were happy to give it to them just to entertain themselves by watching two more movies.

Therefore, every time Xu Damao went to the countryside to show short films, the rural commune was very enthusiastic, and he often came back with some mountain goods.

This guy, he's usually a prostitute. It's normal for him to show off his coolness in front of his mother-in-law. How can he show off his coolness at critical moments without a bag on him?

With two packs of cigarettes in his pocket, Zhonghua at critical moments and production at ordinary times, Xu Damao can fully afford this consumption.

After all, this guy's salary is enough, and it's not a problem to make forty or fifty a month.

This Chinese cigarette is quite easy to smoke, but the cigarettes these days do not have filters, which makes Li Ye a little uncomfortable smoking.

Li Ye took a few puffs, paused, and asked Xu Damao: "Brother Damao, you always have a pack of Great China in your pocket. Can you get the tickets? I heard that this thing is not easy to get."

"Hey, it doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get any ticket.

There is a place called Pigeon Market, which is the black market.

Everything was traded there. Usually when I went to the countryside to play small movies, the commune would send me mountain goods, but I couldn't eat that much by myself.

I will take some of it to the pigeon market and exchange it with others for some fine grains and some votes."

Xu Damao has not read many books, but he is not stupid.

Li Ye's operation today had impressed him. He didn't think Li Ye would ask nonsense questions, so he tentatively asked: "What, do you have an idea?"

Li Ye nodded slightly: "That's right. I'm in trouble right now! If you want to stay in the company, you have to give some gifts and establish a relationship."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

Well, this Li Ye is really a talent, I have been mistaken before.

Just because of Li Ye's cool operation today and how to solve problems by giving gifts. He has a hunch that this person will not be too bad in the future. He is a first-class person!

Xu Damao's bull's-eyes rolled around a few times, and he said very loyally: "Brother, are you worried about the tickets, right? You have no shortage of money.

This is not a problem. I have two unopened bottles of Zhonghua at home, and I also have two bottles of Maotai.

Brother, if you want it, just say something and I'll get it for you right away, at the cost price, and I won't make you a penny."

Xu Damao did a lot of things like giving gifts to build relationships.

It’s not surprising to have some good things at home.

This guy really knows how to behave, and his ability to adapt to the changing circumstances is first-rate.

He sold it to Li Ye at the original price and received a favor from Li Ye, but he himself did not suffer any loss!

Buying it again requires a ticket. Give him some time and he can get it.

Xu Damao's help saved Li Ye a lot of trouble!

He couldn't help but look at Xu Damao.

No wonder Xu Damao was able to take pictures of so many women. He was able to do well when the wind blew, and he was quite capable.

Maybe Xu Damao is not a good person, but if you can suppress him, he is definitely a good henchman, the kind who knows how to cause trouble.

Anyway, Li Ye had to say thank you to Xu Damao for today's matter: "Brother Damao, thank you. I'll treat you later when I solve these troubles."

"Don't talk about this between brothers."

Xu Damao worked very efficiently and immediately went home to pick up two bottles of Zhonghua and two bottles of Maotai for Li Ye.

These days, Zhonghua sells for six yuan a piece, and Maotai’s official price is four yuan a bottle.

Considering that Xu Damao’s ticket to buy tobacco and alcohol was exchanged for local goods from the Pigeon Market, it required time and cost.

Li Ye bought two cigarettes from Xu Damao for seven yuan a bottle. For Maotai, it cost five yuan a bottle, which adds up to twenty-four yuan.

Xu Damao’s small profit is not considered a loss!

"Come on, let's go back to bed. Let's talk some other day over drinks and food."

Xu Damao put twenty-four yuan in his pocket and went home humming a tune.

He was in a really good mood today. Watching his lifelong enemy He Yuzhu suffer was not to mention how enjoyable it was.

Another unexpected bonus was the discovery of the talent Li Ye.

I hope Li Ye will not disappoint him.

He provided Li Ye with tobacco and alcohol, which was also a test for Li Ye.

If Li Ye can overcome the difficulties and successfully become a chef, it means that he is a great person and worth making friends with.

If Li Ye couldn't solve the problem, he wouldn't be at a loss! He would go to the countryside a few more times to play small movies, and exchange the mountain goods for tickets at the pigeon market. It just took a while to buy the cigarettes and alcohol.

Li Ye returned to his house with cigarettes and Maotai, and he already had a plan in mind.

He already has a choice in his mind about whom to give gifts to.

…

At the same time, the uncle's house.

The first man gently sewed the door shut. His family lived in the middle courtyard. He had just opened a crack in the door to peek at Xu Damao and Li Ye chatting. Unfortunately, he heard nothing.

"Old man, is he gone?"

The eldest mother asked.

"Let's go. I really underestimated this kid before and was not easy to mess with! This time I have offended him to death."

The old man sighed, feeling a little uneasy.
