Chapter 116: Year of the Monkey and Month of the Horse (Both Prices Are Updated at 9)
"Meow~"
Xiaowu screamed in dissatisfaction.
Dufy threw it aside, opened the door of the fireplace, filled it with briquettes, and started the stove again.
Go to the kitchen and boil a pot of hot water.
Today’s roast duck is fat enough!
For the first time since he traveled across time, Du Fei felt greasy and even put an extra handful of tea leaves in the tea.
The water here hasn't boiled yet, and the pretty widow over there came to the door. As soon as she walked in, she smiled with peach blossom eyes, "Young Master, you are so serious. I heard that Quanjude has eaten it!"
I guess it was the duck rack and cabbage cooked by the third uncle. As soon as the neighbors asked, it spread.
Du Fei smiled, sat on the Arhat's bed, and pointed to the kitchen like an uncle, "The water is boiling in there. Check to see if it's on."
Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly said, "What do you want to do? I won't wash your feet. What should I do if someone comes in broad daylight!"
Du Fei couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Why wash your feet? Make tea!"
Qin Huairu blushed and realized that she had made a mistake, so she hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
After a while, Qin Huairu came out of the kitchen and returned to normal. She came out with a kettle and filled the thermos first, then came to Du Fei to fill the teacup with water.
In the end, he rolled his eyes at Du Fei, snorted and complained, "You're heartless! You gave the third uncle some delicious food, but you didn't even leave some for me to try. I haven't eaten roast duck in my life!"
If it were a fool, he would definitely be extremely embarrassed and make all kinds of promises.
It's a pity that Du Fei has a thick skin than the city wall, so he said confidently, "Third uncle, please help me do something, but you can't give me any favors?"
The pretty widow was silent, aggrieved, but secretly charming.
Du Fei curled his lips, picked up the cup, and took a sip of tea, "Besides, let's see what potential you have!"
Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said matter-of-factly, "I'm just a rural woman, so I'm hopeless!"
Du Fei said, "If you want to eat roast duck, I'll take you to eat later."
It's over, what's the point of staring at it half-heartedly? "
Qin Huairu made a "cut" sound and retorted, "If you look back, you will go back to the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse."
Du Fei didn't get used to it when he saw her messing around. He picked up the new book he just bought today and started flipping through it as if nothing had happened.
Qin Huairu stamped her foot angrily, but she could do nothing to him. She stood there and waited for a while. Seeing that Du Fei ignored her, she had to take the initiative to come up to her and flatter her, saying, "Okay, okay, young master, I believe you still can." It’s not possible!”
Du Fei raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Why do you believe me?"
Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Don't tell me you want to take me to eat roast duck?"
Du Fei curled his lips and said, "Then you can wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
Qin Huairu said shamelessly, "This is the Year of the Snake, and next year will be the Year of the Horse."
Du Fei drooped his eyelids with a look of contempt on his face, "Sister Qin, it's the Year of the Monkey..."
Qin Huairu was really angry. She glared at him and said, "Where's the cotton? Where is it?"
Du Fei pointed to the big cloth bag next to the entrance.
Qin Huairu didn't pay attention just now, and then said in shock, "You...how many kilograms of cotton did you buy?"
Du Fei said, "The cushions should be softer, and the pillows should be made of two layers, inside and outside. Fill the inside with rice husks and put cotton on the outside."
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and said, "I know, young master! You are the only one who is more particular."
Du Fei had already lowered his head and continued to watch the first chapter of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, where the heroes of the Taoyuan banquet made three sworn brothers, and the first hero who killed the Yellow Turban made meritorious service.
He said, "There are eggs in the kitchen, take one."
Qin Huairu said in surprise, "The old hen is laying eggs again!" She ran into the kitchen again, and sure enough, she found two large round eggs next to the sink.
"Really
yes! "Qin Huai was surprised.
Speaking of which, she bought these two old hens from the countryside. There was nothing special about them. Even in the countryside, they would not lay eggs in winter. How come they started laying eggs when they arrived at Du Fei's house?
Unfortunately, with her level of knowledge, she was unable to answer this question.
Instead, many strange thoughts came to my mind.
Holding the egg in his hand, he thought of Lou Xiao'e inexplicably: "That one who doesn't lay eggs, if he comes to Du Fei's house..."
Qin Huairu quickly scratched her hair, suppressed the unreliable thought, and walked out of the kitchen.
In fact, she wanted to stay with Du Fei for a while.
Even if Du Fei sat there reading a book and ignored her, and she stayed beside him, doing nothing, he still felt very good.
It was not like returning to Jia's house, as if there was an invisible mountain trying to crush her back.
But after thinking about it, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still waiting at home. Qin Huairu didn't dare to wait too long, so she had to take the eggs and cotton and said, "Then I'll leave first~"
Du Fei said "Yeah".
Qin Huairu was a little annoyed and rushed over on her own. This is such a heartless attitude.
He simply got angry, stamped his feet, twisted his butt, and walked out.
But when he was changing his shoes at the door, he suddenly heard Du Fei's voice coming from behind, "There is a deputy director Li in your steel rolling mill. If there is something that cannot be solved in the factory, you go to him and tell him that he is my sister. Please mention me." name and unit.”
The pretty widow was stunned for a moment. She didn't care about showing off her temper. She turned around and stared at Du Fei, who was lying on the Arhat's bed reading a book.
From this angle, only Du Fei's raised knees and the profile of his face leaning on the pillow could be seen.
Du Fei was attentive, his thick sideburns extending to below his ears, his moderately high nose and strong chin, making him look particularly charming as a man.
and
More importantly, when Du Fei mentioned Deputy Director Li in an understatement, Qin Huairu was really shocked.
What kind of person is Deputy Director Li?
There are tens of thousands of employees in the entire steel mill, and he is the second most important person after Director Yang.
Not to mention that Qin Huairu is just an ordinary workshop worker, even their workshop director has to bow and scrape when he sees Deputy Director Li.
That is a big shot that the factory really can't afford to offend!
Du Fei actually knows Deputy Director Li, and he said shamelessly that he can mention him if there is anything. What kind of concept is this!
Qin Huairu is very smart. She controlled the waves in her heart and said "um" obediently. She didn't ask what the relationship between Du Fei and Deputy Director Li is.
And she made up her mind not to use this trump card unless it was absolutely necessary.
Qin Huairu is very smart. She just heard what Du Fei meant and told her that this relationship was an insurance for her, not for her to take chicken feathers as a command.
If she doesn't even understand this, her delicate relationship with Du Fei should also come to an end.
And Du Fei brought up the relationship with Deputy Director Li at this time, in addition to pretending to be invisible, it is also a precaution.
Although Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu have become distant recently because of his appearance, Qin Huairu is unlikely to go to the canteen to ask Sha Zhu for food.
But some things are better than nothing.
If Qin Huairu meets Deputy Director Li again, calling out Du Fei's name will definitely work.
Maybe Deputy Director Li is busy and may not remember Du Fei, who he only met once, but he will definitely think of Zhu Ting when he mentions the unit.
From the scene of the encounter at Quanjude today and Zhu Ting's implicit expression, Du Fei can judge Deputy Director Li's position in the Zhu family.
Du Fei believes that no matter what the situation is, when Qin Huairu calls out his name, Deputy Director Li will give him face because of Zhu Ting's deterrence.
