Chapter 228 - “You are the shaless one!" (1)
Once they had stepped outside, Wang Nianzhen imdiately shared her story with Tong Xuelu. “My grandmother’s 70th birthday is coming up, and she had always wanted to have the braised pork in her mories. But she keeps saying that those made by my mom and my sister-in-law did not have the right taste.”
“Recently, I brought a piece of your braised pork ho the other day, and she said it tasted a lot like what she had when she was a child. So, I am thinking… Perhaps you can make a pot of braised pork. If you can do that for , I will do anything for you!”As for why she didn’t just buy it from the restaurant… That was because the restaurant would not be serving braised pork on that day.Furthermore, there was a limit placed on how much each person could buy. If she was to buy all of the braised pork, soone might report her for committing capitalist practices.She had no other option but to broach the topic with the chef of the restaurant directly.Tong Xuelu thought about it so and asked, “You said you work at the garnt factory?”Wang Nianzhen was a smart one. As soon as she heard that, she knew there was hope and nodded imdiately. “Yes, I work at the garnt factory. From ti to ti, there will be defective fabric and clothing at our factory……”She did not finish her sentence, but both of them knew what she was getting at.Those items might be defective, but they were still very much useful. Not to ntion that they would be much cheaper. In addition, no tickets were required to acquire them.Tong Xuelu has money now but not enough tickets. All of Tong Jiaming’s and his siblings’ clothes were turning white from washing. She would need to get them each a new set.And then there was herself. She did not take any winter clothes with her when she left the other Tong family’s house. She definitely would not be able to return for them now.So she just might freeze to death this winter if she didn’t have so thicker clothes made for herself soon.The exchange that Wang Nianzhen had brought up just now solved her problems perfectly.That was what they called soone sending over a pillow when one was sleepy. That was an unexpected benefit of replacing Chef ng.Aweso!Tong Xuelu said, “My surna is Tong. What’s yours?”Wang Nianzhen’s eyes lit up. “My na is Wang Nianzhen. I am 20 years old, and I work at the Hongyang Garnt Factory!”Tong Xuelu, “……”So much information. That was such an old school way of doing things.“It just so happened that I am in need of so cotton and winter clothes. Do you have any at your place?”Wang Nianzhen nodded repeatedly. “Oh yes. It’s starting to get cold, and we started making winter clothing two months ago. How many do you need?”Without any bashfulness, Tong Xuelu confidently listed down what she needed. “I need three sets for myself – a fall set and two winter sets. I also need two sets for boys around 10 years old, and two sets for girls around 5 years old. Do you have them?”Wang Nianzhen was a little bit shocked by how much Tong Xuelu was asking. “We do, but that’s a lot that you are asking for. Are you sure you need that much?”Tong Xuelu nodded. “Soone stole my winter clothes. I won’t be able to make it through winter without replacing them.”Wang Nianzhen bashed the thief for Tong Xuelu when she heard that and said, “That’s not a problem. We will set a ti to et later.”Tong Xuelu thought about it so and said, “Bring the at to the restaurant ahead of ti on the day of. You can co and pick the food when I am done. As for the clothes, you can bring them at the end of the day.”If they take care of them separately, even if they were caught, they could just say that they were exchanging things between relatives and that it was not a trade.Wang Nianzhen liked the idea as well. She returned to her work with a smile after complinting Tong Xuelu.After she returned to the restaurant, ng Qingqing asked, “What did that woman want?”Both Tan Xiaoyan and Liu Dongchang looked over when ng Qingqing asked.Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes inwardly and said, “I used to work with her sister at the garnt factory. She recognized earlier and told sothing about her sister.”With that, ng Qingqing did not pursue the subject any further.
