The Happy Life of Xu Damao in Siheyuan

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was watering the flowers carefully. When he saw Xu Damao passing by, he quickly showed a flattering smile and came forward to say hello: "Director Xu, you are off work, have you eaten?"

Xu Damao smiled and shook his head: "Third uncle, I am a junior, so just call me Damao."

Yan Bugui felt relieved after hearing this, but he said politely: "That's not possible. Director Xu, you have just been promoted. How can I rely on my old age to show off my skills? I just want to report the situation to you!"

Xu Damao glanced at him in surprise, and thought to himself that Yan Bugui had no profit and couldn't afford to go early. After thinking about it for a moment, he could figure out his thoughts more or less.

Immediately he said: "Third uncle, don't worry, my original promise is still valid. As long as you help me with things, this car will still be sold to you for 180 yuan."

Yan Bugui breathed a sigh of relief. This was what he was most worried about now.

To say that Xu Damao originally wanted to sell the car to support his family, there is nothing wrong with selling it cheaply. However, Xu Damao is now different from what he used to be. He has been promoted to the director of the cafeteria and has no worries about food and drink. It is inevitable that he has changed his mind.

Now Xu Damao's words made his heart fall back into his stomach again.

Yan Bugui hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have made all arrangements. If you say good things in front of Teacher Ran, I will be able to arrange for you to meet in three days at the latest."

In fact, Yan Bugui still committed the same old habit. He had been working hard to get some benefits from Xu Damao. Who would have thought that he would suddenly change his identity and become a leader. Now he did not dare to delay any longer. If Xu Damao saw something, a

If he is unhappy, he will be in bad luck.

Xu Damao somewhat understood Yan Bugui's little thoughts, but he didn't expose it and handed over a basket of eggs.

"Third uncle, it's not a big deal for you to bother me."

The wrinkles on Yan Bugui's face were all smiles. He was so busy that he didn't even need the shovel or shower in his hand, so he quickly took them.

"Director Xu, you are so polite! Don't worry, I, Yan Laoxi, do things properly!"

Xu Damao said a few polite words and continued to push the bicycle forward. Yan Laoxi took advantage of it and determined to finalize the matter tomorrow.

Yu Li, who was secretly hiding in the room and observing secretly, breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. She was actually worried that Xu Damao would not admit it. Since the agreement was still valid, she had to do Haitang's work quickly.

She knew her sister well, and she was as arrogant as a white swan. In the past, Xu Damao was just an ordinary clerk in the propaganda department. Even if he had the job of a projectionist, he could not catch her eye. However, he suddenly became the director of the cafeteria.

, my sister will definitely have to think about it.

Xu Damao went home and put down his things, picked up two bottles of Daqu that were given as a sign-in gift, and was about to pay a visit to the elder, but to his surprise, two tough-headed young men blocked the door.

"Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu? What are you two doing here?"

Xu Damao was a little surprised. He had never been very close to the second uncle's family, but the second uncle Liu Haizhong was an official fan, so it was reasonable for him to curry favor at this time.

"Oh, is it the second uncle who invites me to drink?"

"Brother Xu, no, Director Xu, we two brothers have something to ask you."

Liu Guangtian was at a loss. He spent a long time organizing the organization nervously and could not speak. After all, strictly speaking, Xu Damao was the leader with the highest official rank in their courtyard since the Qing Dynasty.

When Liu Guangfu saw that his brother had not spoken for a long time, he lost his temper and revealed the reason for his visit.

"Director Xu, we two brothers want to work with you! You are the leader. You can't do anything yourself if you have anything to do. You can just give us orders. You can run errands and do anything!"

Liu Guangtian also nodded and said with a timid expression: "Yes, yes! It would be better if I could have a temporary job."

Xu Damao suddenly realized that it turned out that the two brothers had been unemployed at home for a long time, coupled with the excessive stick education of the second uncle. In addition to taking special care of their eldest son Liu Guangqi, they also beat their two sons Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu if they had any trouble.

Even if you scold them, to be honest, it's a miracle that they can survive to this day in good health, but they just don't look very smart.

It just so happens that he is short of manpower right now, and the Liu Guangtian brothers are pretty stupid and don't have that many tricks up their sleeves, so they can be used with ease.

"No problem, I'm short of manpower! Well, just follow me tonight and I'll give you a dollar a day for your hard work. If you do well, I'll give you an extra reward."

When the Liu Guangtian brothers heard this, they were immediately excited. They could earn one yuan a day. I don't know how many people would fight for this reward!

"Director Xu, just give your orders, and we two brothers will definitely work hard!"

"Yes, yes!"

Xu Damao ordered: "Okay, now you can help me find a pig butcher, one with good skills."

"No problem! Butcher Zhang from Zhima Hutong next door was a good hand before liberation. Whenever you need to spend money, just give him pig water and pig treasure according to the rules." Liu Guangtian has no job, and can only wander around with nothing to do all day long.

, knows everything about the alley.

Liu Guangfu also added: "Nowadays, every household cannot eat meat. Butcher Zhang has no energy to use, but he has to rush here. I just gave him some stick noodles and gave up."

Good guys, these two brothers are really talented, and the boss is not as ruthless as you.

But as far as doglegs are concerned, Xu Damao is very satisfied.

"Okay, call for Butcher Zhang. If he has some help, call him too. Let's meet at the gate of the courtyard at five o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay! Director Xu, please rest. We will come on time."

The two brothers looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. They were determined to perform hard and leave a good impression on Director Xu.

It was just dawn, and Xu Damao had already gotten up at around four o'clock to exercise.

He was sweating profusely again, but what made Xu Damao happy was that he no longer had the tired feeling of being hollowed out of his body in the past.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu arrived early, stomping their feet in the cold wind. Next to him, Butcher Zhang was in his forties, with a dark complexion and a stooped waist. Standing beside him were two and a half young men who must be his eldest brother.

Son and younger son.

"Good morning, Director Xu!" Butcher Zhang quickly greeted Xu Damao respectfully.

"Morning! You'll have to work hard to take care of me for a while."

Butcher Zhang grinned: "Don't worry, I've got everything done. Not to mention, butchering pigs is my specialty!"

After a while, two trucks from the Transportation Department arrived at the entrance of the alley. Xu Damao asked everyone to get on the truck and soon arrived at the warehouse.

Xu Damao walked in the front, and by opening the warehouse door, he quietly waved his hand to the empty space of the warehouse. In the blink of an eye, the fresh carcasses of a dozen big fat pigs, cows, and sheep were lying quietly on the ground.

Even the two drivers didn't react at all. After all, Xu Damao told them in advance yesterday that someone else would bring the freight.

"Let's get started."

Butcher Zhang's two sons skillfully held up the four hooves of the fat pig. He himself took out the butcher's knife and began to butcher it skillfully. It can be said that everyone who was famous in the 1960s had real skills. Almost all of them were famous.

In the blink of an eye, pork ribs, pig heart, pig head, pig trotters, pig lungs, etc. were neatly arranged.

Although there is not much beef and mutton, it still takes a lot of effort.

During this period, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, and two drivers also helped, and it was not until dawn that all the work was completed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Zhang. According to the rules, you can take away the pig's waste and the pig's treasure. In addition, each person should take five kilograms of offal to replenish the food."

When everyone heard this, they all beamed with joy. Five kilograms of meat was enough to last a week!

Regardless of whether it is pork liver, pig heart or pig lung, you can make a decent meat dish with just a little frying or deep-frying.

Butcher Zhang shook his head repeatedly. The pig waste and pig treasure alone weighed more than 100 kilograms. He was embarrassed to take so much meat. Firstly, the amount was too large, and he couldn't help but send people from the street to question him. Secondly, he was worried.

His appetite was too big, so Xu Damao stopped looking for him, which was a big loss. In the end, he was sensible and only asked for two portions of pig sesame and pig treasure.

The rest is just to provide nutrition to the steel rolling mill workers.

Xu Damao was very satisfied and gave Zhang Butcher's two sons an extra 50 cents as a reward. The two drivers each received 50 cents plus a bag of large front doors. After all, the Liu Guangtian brothers were his own people. From now on, he would be the hands-off shopkeeper, and each of them received one yuan as agreed.

Everyone was very happy and praised Xu Damao for being fair in doing things. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact them.

Xu Damao was also unambiguous, saying that from now on this kind of thing would be the norm. As long as he came to help, there would be no shortage of meat for a week. Who would quit such a good job? Everyone expressed their willingness to follow Xu Damao.
