Chapter 71: 71 agree

Although it’s already the end of the month, the temperature is still ten degrees below zero at night. Absolutely no problem with freezing.

Lamb bones, lamb head, lamb hooves are blanched and then braised directly. Just added a few dates, scallions, and ginger to remove the mutton smell.

Got up in the middle of the night to take a look, the meat on the bones was almost falling off, then turned off the heat.

On Sunday, Wei Kaiyun came to eat three meals. Also invited Old Yang, Jiang Xinyu calculated, Wang Ailing was still on day shift, forget it, she’ll just take some lamb head meat to eat.

In the morning, Wei Kaiyun came over, Jiang Xinyu directly made some noodles for soup. When the shredded radish was added, the aroma was even more intense.

After the meal, Wei Kaiyun helped wash the offal, and it was put on to boil soon after.

"Jiang Xinyu, I don’t need the money for the bicycle anymore, just consider it meal vouchers for the food I eat here. All these rice, flour, and meat cost money, if I bought them, the money wouldn’t be enough."

"Director Wei, you’re right, this hundred pounds of rice equals the three hundred dollars you borrowed from me."

"Hmm, I’ll give you another hundred."

"No need, I don’t have any place to spend money now."

"Take it if I give it to you."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t refuse further, knowing if she went to buy it, at least she could sell it for four hundred.

Once the lamb offal was in the pot, Jiang Xinyu used a frying pan to roast peanuts, had sesame paste in her space, but couldn’t buy it here, so could only make peanut butter.

"Director Wei, you can slice the lamb later."

"Alright, I’ll go grind the knife."

The peanuts for the peanut butter should be roasted well, Jiang Xinyu patiently rubbed off the skins and used a rolling pin to crush them little by little, Wei Kaiyun who came back from grinding the knife took over.

She went to the cellar once, took out a cabbage, a radish, and a potato. Blanched some vermicelli with boiling water, and arranged them on the table, lacking a special pot for hot pot, so they used the coal stove and frying spoon. When it was all ready, Old Yang arrived.

"Let’s eat braised lamb bones first, then have the hot pot."

"Lamb spine."

"Yes."

The three sat directly in the main room, surrounding the coal stove. The lamb backbone was simmered and tender yesterday, and today it tastes even better when boiled.

"Young lady, your cooking is really good." This was the second time Old Yang said this.

Jiang Xinyu had long wanted to eat hot pot, but due to the circumstances, had to endure, so today she ate a lot.

The cornbread prepared was for Old Yang and Wei Kaiyun each.

"So full, in this situation, to still eat such good things."

"Master Yang, I’ll prepare lamb offal for you to take home, and this peanut butter, when you want to eat it, add some salt, peanut butter, and pour boiling water over it."

The leftover lamb, we’ll continue the hot pot next Saturday."

"Alright, thank you young lady."

"This is half paid by Master Yang. Half the lamb head meat for you, you can dip it in three-flavor oil."

"Young lady, can you make some chili oil, it’s aromatic."

The two left together, leaving Jiang Xinyu alone at home resting, planning to bring a piece of lamb head meat and a lamb hoof to Wang Ailing tomorrow, she would certainly enjoy them.

Except when cold it’s too gamey. But there’s no way around it.

At seven in the evening, Wei Kaiyun came on time for dinner.

Jiang Xinyu cooked lamb offal noodles, added some peanut butter and a spoon of chili oil. Both worked up a sweat eating.

On leaving, Wei Kaiyun left a hundred dollars on the table.

On Monday, Jiang Xinyu took a lunch box to work. During lunch, Wang Ailing saw the lamb meat, smiled with squinted eyes.

"Xinyu, I’m really fortunate."

"Is this all it takes to be happy?"

"Yes, having meat to eat is happiness."

The mutton smell attracted a lot of attention. Wang Ailing quickly ate it all, knowing only after eating is it hers.

"You’re switching shifts on Saturday, right?"

"Switching shifts on Sunday."

"Go home, I’ll cook something nice for you."

"Okay. Xinyu, come to my dorm after work, they brought over twenty eggs again."

"Sis, don’t go to such expense anymore, I have food."

Wang Ailing grinned at Jiang Xinyu saying, "It’s fine, I often eat your delicious food, I feel guilty."

Their laughter and conversation made Kong Mengjie in the corner secretly resent them.

She wants to eat meat; it’s been almost two years without meat, and they’re from the same village, why the different treatment?

Is it because Jiang Xinyu is capable now, she doesn’t care about her?

"Mengjie, are Jiang the Secretary and you not getting along?" Zhao Zhongshuo noticed the two girls eating, primarily because his girlfriend looked back several times.

Kong Mengjie was in a bad mood and annoyed by the thoughtless question. Couldn’t he see?

No, she must find a way to get closer to Jiang Xinyu, or in the future there might be good things without her part.

Wonder what skill she has? To be a secretary, since coming to work, she realizes the gap between them.

In the afternoon, Wei Kaiyun handed Jiang Xinyu the task of writing this month’s summary report. It’s not to be used in a meeting at the textile factory, but for a meeting in the county.

Jiang Xinyu had never written a summary report, and besides, she hadn’t worked even a month, so she had no choice but to look up materials and data.

The monthly report from finance can’t be shown to her, but the past months are still available.

Jiang Xinyu frowned at the report, feeling there was quite an issue, had Wei Kaiyun not noticed?

Copied down January’s report, decided to ask Wei Kaiyun, thinking they were tied together, now on this pirate ship, best to ensure it doesn’t capsize, otherwise this isn’t a game where you can start over.

She had studied accounting, but no matter how she looked at the accounts, she felt uncomfortable. Yet, she couldn’t pinpoint the issue.

Finished the report, returned the report form, then handed the report to Wei Kaiyun for review.

This meeting required the director’s attendance, no idea what important instructions there might be.

Wei Kaiyun glanced over it, "Not bad, let data speak.

Tomorrow, come with me to the meeting."

"Alright." Jiang Xinyu was indifferent; it’s the same wherever, meetings are fairly relaxing.

In the evening, Jiang Xinyu again made millet yam porridge, Wei Kaiyun still ate a scorched cornbread from the stove.

"Director Wei, have you looked at the financial report? It seems off to me."

"What’s wrong?"

"I’m not sure, this is the January report I copied, it feels off no matter how I look, but can’t find where the problem is."

"You haven’t examined the accounts, when next month hits the off-season, accompany me to finance and check the accounts." Wei Kaiyun started to take it seriously, previously only looking at overall data, not the specifics.

Turns out there are still too many issues around, no wonder in dreams I stumble, too arrogant, sometimes the details can decide success or failure.
