After having lunch in the canteen of the dispensing store, Chen Jing found a sidecar and took Li Anran and Yan Youfang to the Qianmen courtyard.
After getting out of the car, Yan Youfang looked at it for a while, stretched out his hand to touch the lion head in front of the door, and sighed, "I dragged these two lions back from the quarry. They are over thirty now." Years later."
"Master Yan, I'd like to trouble you to take action this time." Li Anran opened the door and extended his hand to invite them in.
After walking around in the yard, Li Anran took out a pen and paper, drew a schematic diagram, and marked his requirements.
For some areas where the design was unreasonable, Master Yan put forward suggestions for modification. In just half an hour, a decoration plan was completed.
Chen Jing watched from the side, feeling a little worried, "An Ran, it will cost a lot of money to do something like this? Don't you want to buy other things?"
" Let’s take a look at Master Yan’s quotation first. If it’s too expensive, we’ll cut it a bit.”
Yan Youfang took a pen and paper and calculated for a while, “An Ran, nine for large jobs and twenty for small jobs. The construction period is Half a month, two meals are included, the labor cost is about 2,700, and the material cost is about 3,500. If it is not enough, we will pay for it later. What do you think?"
"Meals are included?" Li Anran? Somewhat confused.
Chen Jing next to her explained, "This is the rule. The host provides two meals for lunch and dinner."
Li Anran smiled bitterly, "Sister, I don't have anywhere to cook. We don’t have many food stamps. Can you exchange them for money, and Master Yan can take care of the food yourself?”
“That’s okay, it’s ten cents per person.” Master Yan agreed immediately. .
Li Anran did a mental calculation and shook his head, "No, what can I eat for ten cents a meal? It's all manual work, and it's not good if I can't eat well. Let's do it like this, let's make it up, and the labor fee is three cents. Thousand, the meal wallet is inside."
Both Chen Jing and Yan Youfang were surprised. If calculated this way, it would be more than thirty cents for a meal, which is equivalent to three times the meal money given by Li Anran.
"Everything else is easy to say, except that I can't buy the stainless steel plate for the kitchen stove. You have to find a way." Master Yan added.
This is a planned economy, and stainless steel plates are a rarity. They are simply not available on the outside market. You have to find a way to do this.
Li Anran had just been in the capital for more than a week, and his eyes were darkened. Where could he buy stainless steel plates?
So he looked at Chen Jing for help.
Chen Jing smiled slightly, "Do you remember Yu Xiaoxia? She is the treasurer of Hongxing Steel Factory, so it should be easy to get some steel plates from her."
"Yes. , How could I forget this?" Li Anran's eyes suddenly opened up, "I will go find her in the next two days."
Thinking of Yu Xiaoxia, he thought of Zhutian, and we have not contacted each other for so long. However, it seems that we should move around.
"Sister, how aboutShall we find time to invite Sister Yu and Zhu Tian to get together? ”
“Okay, I’ll call them back and see when they are free.” "
Li Anran took out a stack of money from his schoolbag, counted three thousand yuan and handed it to Yan Youfang, "You need to order the materials first, and I will give you the balance tomorrow. There are also these keys for you, all marked. "
After everything was done, Li Anran was anxious to go home and cook, so he said goodbye and left first.
When he left, Yan Youfang looked at Chen Jing and said, "Girl, You are a good friend to make. "
Chen Jing cheered, "Uncle, you have to serve this carefully. His uncle is Director Li of the Public Security Department of our 49th City, and his aunt is the deputy director of the cultural troupe. . Once this is done, it will be easier to open your mouth when asking for help in the future, right? ! "
Yan Youfang took a breath of air, "He is Judge Li's nephew?
Chen Jing frowned slightly, "Uncle, don't say Judge Li's words in the future. There are many official rules, so be careful of getting into trouble with your words." "
"I know... Hey... I've never heard of Li Pan before... Director Li has such a nephew. "
Li Anran went to the market to buy some food before going back. When he got home, it turned out that his uncle and aunt hadn't come back yet, so he put on an apron and started working in the kitchen.
More than half an hour later, the door lock rang. Sun Huiqing walked in and smelled the aroma of vegetables, "Huh?" What did you cook? ”
“Braised in water and braised in oil. "
Sun Huiqing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Where did the wild rice come from? ”
She is from Suzhou, and braised wild rice is a typical Jiangnan dish. Wild rice is very rare in the north, and I haven’t had this bite for many years.

“I didn’t know, I saw it on sale when I went to the market, so I bought two kilograms. "Li Anran put the lid on the pot and brought out the wild rice braised in oil. "Aunt, try it first and see how my cooking is? ! "
Sun Hui washed her hands, took out the chopsticks, picked up a piece of wild rice and put it in her mouth. An indescribable feeling of happiness surrounded her whole body, and she couldn't help but snorted, " Oh my God, this is how it tastes. It’s delicious. "
"It's not easy to like to eat hometown food. I will go to the market to look for it tomorrow. Today there is wild rice, and there may be others tomorrow. "
Sun Huiqing swallowed the food and exclaimed, "You dare to think about it. In all these years, I have never seen Jiangnan vegetables sold.
Li Anran also took a piece of chopsticks and threw it into his mouth, "It's okay, but the salt is not good, and the soy sauce is almost useless." By the way, does Jingshi sell spicy soy sauce? If so, I can make fried pork chops. "
"Probably not, I've never seen it. ”
The two were chatting when the door lock rang and Li Ningbo opened the door.Come in.
"Come on, come on, we have something good to eat today." Sun Huiqing went up to take the bag, then swept the dust off Li Ningbo and pushed him to the dining table, "Look what is this? "
"Hey, braised wild rice, I can have an extra bowl of rice today." Li Ningbo couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the food on the table.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Fuck you." Li Anran shouted softly, rushed into the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay."
Sun Huiqing also followed in, stretched her neck and took a look, "It's not overcooked. Where is the fish head and body?"
Braised fish tail is actually braised fish tail. Because the tail of the fish is live meat, the meat is smooth and tender. It is a famous Jiangnan dish.
"There is also a steamed fish, which will be ready in a moment."
This meal made the three Jiangnan people comfortable.
Especially Li Ningbo, he hasn’t eaten much of his hometown food since he joined the army at the age of sixteen. Today he wanted to drink the soup too.
Li Anran talked about everything that happened this afternoon in detail, and nothing else. Speaking of Fourth Master Qiao, Li Ningbo frowned, "There are no good people in this family. During the Anti-Japanese War, Qiao Laosi once served as a puppet government official. Although he was not very evil, he did a lot of plundering and robbery. After liberation, he was not honest and cooperated with the agents from the opposite side to go into the city to carry out sabotage. However, there was no solid evidence to capture him and he was allowed to go free. "For many years."
"I heard that his son works in the secret department opposite, or is he a senior official?"
Li Ningbo shook his head, "I don't know, but one thing is for sure. , maybe many people were wronged, but this person definitely wasn't. The person who handled his case was transferred, so I don't know the details."
In fact, what happened to Qiao Laosi Li. An Ran didn't care. The reason why he asked was to make sure that the things in the warehouse would not have any sequelae. If the province was rehabilitated in the future, the descendants of the family would come asking for it back.
After Li Ningbo entered the house, Sun Huiqing pulled Li Anran to the hut and took out a stack of money, "Anran, you use these three thousand yuan to invest. As agreed, we will break the law and discipline." We can't do it."
Li Anran took the money and put it in his schoolbag, "Don't worry, Auntie, I've checked it, and I guarantee it's not illegal."
Isn't it? There is not even a cultural relics protection law yet. Even if he comes out, his actions are within the legal scope.
Early in the morning, Li Anran arrived at the front door of the courtyard. He saw the courtyard door wide open and there were noisy people inside, so he knew that Yan Youfang had brought people in.
When I went in, I saw that there were indeed many people inside, both men and women. I actually saw two boys of thirteen or fourteen years old moving bricks.
"Good morning, Master Yan." Li Anran saw Yan Youfang coming out of the west wing and hurried up to say hello.
Yan Youfang threw away what she was doing and hurried over, "An Ran, are you here so early?"
"I'm not afraid of your money, so I sent it quickly. By the way, why are there two children working?"
Yan Youfang turned around and pointed at the two children, "Are they my brother's children? It's summer vacation, so I asked them to come over and do some part-time work."
Li Anran originally wanted to say that the children were too young, but when he saw their patched clothes, he swallowed his words. Go down.
He took out a stack of money from his bag and handed it to Yan Youfang, "This is the final payment. Count it."
Yan Youfang saw that the money was tied with a rubber band, so he Knowing that they had all been counted, he put it in his pocket and said, "No need to count, I can trust you."
Li Anran didn't care, looked around and saw that everyone was busy, so He said goodbye and left.
