Chapter 606 Qin Huairu brings leftovers from the kitchen to the Zhang family
5:10 PM.
Lu Banxia pushed her bicycle back into the house. Just as she parked it, Qin Jingru came out and said:
"Banxia, there's a piece of pork belly in the kitchen. I've already prepared the rice. Go to the kitchen and cook."
"OK."
Lu Banxia smiled and agreed, then asked, "Sister Jingru, have Uncle and Aunt gone back yet?"
Qin Jingru nodded: "I went back early this morning."
"oh."
Lu Banxia went back to her room, put down her bag, poured herself a cup of tea, and then went to the kitchen to cook.
the other side.
Qin Huairu, carrying a net bag, returned to courtyard number 95, her face beaming with smiles.
Today was her first day working in the kitchen, and she brought back two steamed buns and some cabbage.
She hadn't expected the hidden perks in the kitchen to be so good. Food is so expensive these days, but those who work in the kitchen can not only eat a free meal at the factory, but also take the leftovers home, which saves them a lot of money.
In the afternoon, she heard from the other women that, under normal circumstances, there would be some leftover food every day, which they would share equally. After all, the wages of the handymen were low, and the large batches of food were all cooked by the kitchen staff themselves. How much or how little they cooked was entirely up to them, as long as it was within the normal range of waste.
It seems she really made the right choice by going to the kitchen.
Back at the Jia family home, Qin Huairu put down the lunchbox and saw Jia Zhangshi lying in bed with her eyes open. She smiled and said:
"Mom, I have great news for you! I've been transferred to work in the cafeteria kitchen today. From now on, I can eat for free in the kitchen every day at noon, and I can even bring food home often."
Madam Jia sat up abruptly and looked at Qin Huairu in surprise, asking, "Qin Huairu, what happened? Why were you transferred to the kitchen all of a sudden?"
Qin Huairu's cheeks flushed red. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to say anything. How could she possibly bring herself to talk about something like this? She would wait until it became impossible to hide it any longer.
"Mom, here's what happened. I wasn't good at working in the fitter's workshop, and our workshop foreman saw that I really wasn't cut out to be a fitter. He probably spoke to the higher-ups, and this afternoon he transferred me to work in the kitchen of the third canteen."
Qin Huairu's account was exactly the same as what she said in the kitchen. Only she and Li Huaide knew what really happened. Even if others had doubts, they had no evidence.
"real?"
Madam Jia looked at Qin Huairu with suspicion. She felt something was wrong. How could such a good thing fall into Qin Huairu's lap?
"Qin Huairu, your salary hasn't been reduced, has it? I heard that the cafeteria worker only gets 18 yuan a month?"
Qin Huairu smiled and nodded: "Mom, of course it's true. Don't worry, my salary hasn't been reduced by a penny. I told my boss that I have a mother-in-law with no fixed salary to support, and two children, so my boss didn't reduce my salary."
"Great, great, great! Our family's luck has finally turned around."
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi was overjoyed and eagerly opened the lunchbox. However, when she saw that there were only two cornbread buns and some plain cabbage in the lunchbox, her swollen face instantly fell.
Seeing Jia Zhangshi's expression, Qin Huairu said speechlessly, "Mom, you should be content. This isn't something we get every day. And it's free. But don't worry, I heard from the head lady in the kitchen that whenever we prepare a banquet, we can take turns sharing the meat and vegetables. I heard that Uncle He gets one-third, and we share the rest."
"What? How come He Daqing, that old man without a family line, gets a third of it all by himself?" Jia Zhangshi shouted.
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes: "Why? Of course, it's because he's the head chef. Now Uncle He cooks all the meals for the receptions. If Jingru hadn't always refused the dishes for the receptions, Uncle He would have just eaten them all by himself, just like Shazhu did before."
"Alright, alright, I didn't expect cooks to be so popular these days," Jia Zhangshi sighed.
"Mom, haven't you heard? Even in famine years, cooks don't go hungry. Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to cook now."
After saying that, Qin Huairu happily went to the kitchen.
......
The Intermediate People's Court, the Wang family.
Qin Jingru came to the kitchen and taught Lu Banxia how to make braised pork.
Soon, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen. However, before the aroma could escape, Qin Jingru opened the lid of the pot of decocted Chinese medicine, and an even stronger medicinal smell wafted out, completely masking the aroma of meat.
Lu Banxia cooked two dishes at the same time: braised pork and hot and sour cabbage. The braised pork needed to be simmered for a while, but it was done in less than forty minutes.
"Brother Feng, dinner's ready."
Lu Banxia brought the dishes to the table, and Qin Jingru served Wang Feng a large bowl of rice and a piece of braised pork, smiling as she said:
"Brother Wang Feng, try Banxia's braised pork."
"Um."
Wang Feng picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. It was tender and juicy, rich but not greasy.
"Not bad, not bad, Banxia, your braised pork already has seventy percent of Jingru's culinary skills."
"Hehe, that's good, Brother Feng, eat more."
Hearing Wang Feng's praise, Lu Banxia was very happy. Ever since drinking the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup, she felt particularly clear-headed, learned everything quickly, and her skin became whiter and more beautiful. Without asking, she knew that the reason she had changed so much was all thanks to the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup.
After finishing the meal.
After wiping the table, Lu Banxia went to wash the dishes and make tea. Whenever she was home, she took care of all the housework by herself.
After all, Sister Jingru treated her like a sister, and as the legal wife, she knew this much.
After finishing a pot of tea, Lu Banxia prepared bathwater, and the three of them went to bed after bathing.
......
It was past 1 a.m.
Wang Feng opened his eyes precisely at this moment, took Qin Jingru's long legs off his body, and quietly got out of bed.
I put on my clothes, went to the living room, opened the bedroom door, and went out.
He climbed over the wall to a secluded corner outside the courtyard and entered the space.
Wang Feng has been coming to the space every night to conduct poison experiments using his daily routine. During this time, his skills in making and detoxifying poison have improved significantly, but he is still far from meeting his requirements.
However, he was not discouraged. Anyway, the one thing he had plenty of was time, and he had enough time in the space. He believed that one day he would be able to make a poison that could control the life and death of others.
