Chapter 242: Human Relationships and the Effects of Tiger Bone Wine

Xie family.

When I heard that Wang Mengde’s cousin would graduate from junior high school next year and was preparing to find a temporary job.

Xie Hua suddenly became anxious.

"Doctor Wang, leave your brother's matter to me.

Also, since he attended junior high school, whether he has a diploma or not, he is considered educated.

The meat processing plant is in need of this kind of young and knowledgeable employee now. Next June, ask him to come directly to the meat processing plant to find me.

I will arrange the entry procedures, and you cannot be a temporary worker, you must be a regular employee.

Of course, once you enter the factory, the first three years of apprenticeship are essential.”

Xie Hua patted his chest and spoke boldly.

He is not bragging. At the beginning of last year, due to his outstanding work, he was promoted from director to deputy director of the meat processing plant.

Recruiting a few people is just a matter of his words. Even the factory director and the top leader of the factory will give him face.

Even though the economic situation has not been very good in recent years, many factories and companies have begun to recruit people cautiously.

But the meat processing plant is no different from other units. As a unit with "oil and water", it can be said to be wealthy and powerful.

"Let him join the factory as a regular worker? Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"

Wang Mengde asked in a low voice:

"If there is any impact, forget it. It's fine as long as I can be a temporary worker."

"Haha, Doctor Wang, don't worry, I wasn't bragging just now. It's not difficult for me to arrange for someone to work in the meat processing plant."

Xie Hua said with a smile.

He wished that this kind of thing would happen more and more.

I almost lost my job as logistics director because of illness.

Fortunately, Wang Mengde's miraculous surgery cured the illness that had plagued him for many years, allowing him not only to keep his job, but he even took a step further last year and became a senior executive of the meat processing plant.

This favor was too great, and he had been looking for opportunities to make up for it.

Moreover, this young man has superb medical skills and his future achievements are immeasurable. There will definitely be times when he will be in trouble in the future.

That's why he took great pains to maintain the relationship between the two of them, and would visit her during festivals or when he went to Beijing to do business.

Previously, Wang Mengde’s cousin was arranged to work as a temporary worker in the meat processing factory because Wang Mengwei was too old and had not even finished primary school.

Otherwise, he would have to help the other party become a formal employee of the meat processing plant and repay some favor.

Now that he has another chance, he must seize it.

"It's good as long as it doesn't affect you. Thank you for your help, Director."

Wang Mengde said gratefully.

In fact, I understand that it will not have any impact on him, but some things still need to be said.

In other words, he was afraid that it would become a handle for others to use against him in a few years. Otherwise, he would use other connections to help his cousin find a job in the city and even transfer his household registration there.

"Doctor Wang, please don't be polite."

Xie Hua said with a happy look on his face.

The two chatted for about an hour and drank two or three cups of tea before Wang Mengde said goodbye.

Before leaving, Deputy Director Xie insisted that he take a piece of pork belly back with him.

Wang Mengde had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

Anyway, Deputy Director Xie has the support of the Shahe Meat Processing Plant, so this amount of meat is just a drop in the bucket for him.

Even if most people in the capital cannot afford to eat meat, the people in the meat processing factory will never be short of meat.

After saying goodbye to Deputy Director Xie, Wang Mengde rode his bicycle back to Tiangezhuang and left the piece of pork belly to his grandparents.

Then, I told them about my work.

When they heard that they could become formal workers and eat commercial grain for the rest of their lives, Wang Ning and Zhou Tingting were so happy that they didn't know where to put their hands.

I had to say thank you to this nephew again and again.

There is no way. After experiencing those difficult years, their obsession with eating commercial grain is hard to imagine for people in later generations.

I originally thought that I could become a temporary worker, earn a little salary every month, and be able to buy food at the grain station, although it was much lower than that of a formal worker.

But it is also something that most rural people can only dream of.

Now, their youngest son will be a worker in the future, and his life will be guaranteed.

Wang Mengde calmed the excited people and told them not to tell anyone else for the time being.

Then he got on his bike and rode towards Nanluoguxiang.

When I got home, it was still early, probably around four o'clock.

On his handlebars, there was a big carp hanging on one side and a piece of pork belly weighing about a pound that he had taken out from the space hanging on the other side.

forecourt.

Yan Bugui rarely went fishing today, but was fiddling with the flower pots at his doorstep.

The weather is cold and the flowers have withered, so he is going to put away these flower pots and wait until next spring to plant flowers in them.

"Second uncle, I'm busy!"

Wang Mengde greeted him with a smile.

"Meng De is back."

Yan Bugui pushed up his glasses frame, raised his head and said with a smile, and after seeing the things on the handlebars of the bicycle clearly, he looked envious:

"Hey, Meng De, where did you get this meat and fish?"

"Haha, Uncle Er, this fish was caught by my uncle from the river and he gave it to me to try.

I bought this meat. I saved up some meat coupons before, but now they are all gone in a flash."

Wang Mengde stopped his bicycle and explained easily.

He now has special supplies, and all the neighbors know about it. If he eats something good at home or brings back some good things, no one will suspect anything.

At most, they would talk about it behind your back and say all kinds of envious and jealous words.

"Wow, most of this meat is fat. I haven't bought such good meat in three years. Meng De, you are really capable."

Yan Bugui was so envious that he stared at the piece of pork belly without blinking, wishing he could take it back home.

"Haha, well, Uncle, I'm going back first."

Seeing that his eyes were almost red, Wang Mengde didn't plan to say more to him. He pushed his bicycle and prepared to walk towards the central courtyard.

"Hey, Meng De, wait a minute, there's something I forgot to tell you yesterday.

Yuan Chao and Wei Guo had a fight with their classmates yesterday morning. The two of them beat up five or six people on the other side.

If their class teacher, Ran Qiuye, hadn’t discovered and dissuaded them in time, something might have happened.”

When Yan Bugui saw Wang Mengde was about to leave, he quickly stopped him and told him a piece of news.

"Also, Yuan Chao and Wei Guo didn't tell anyone about this when they returned home, and we didn't find any injuries on either of them."

"Ahem, those students were almost a head shorter than them and were also very thin, so they probably didn't hit them that hard."

"Oh, thanks, Uncle. I'll go back and ask."

Having said that, Wang Mengde went straight to the backyard.

I was thinking about it while walking.

My two younger brothers are still young. When they fought with others at school, they probably didn’t know how to control their severity. I hope they don’t get into trouble again in the future.

It seems necessary to give a few more instructions.

Arrived at home.

After handing the big carp and pork to He Shengnan, he saw that his two younger brothers were not in the house, so he asked curiously:
"Mom, where are Yuan Chao and Wei Guo?"

"After lunch, she put down her bowl and ran out to play. I don't know where she went." Ran Xiaomei was mending clothes for her granddaughter. She scratched her head with the needle and said nonchalantly.

These two sons have been used to being wild since they were young and are often not at home. They only come back when they are hungry at mealtime.

She and Wang Hao don't care much about these. Nowadays, every child is like this, whether in the city or in the countryside.

There were too many children and I couldn’t take care of them all, so I raised them like sheep.

night.

On the dinner table, there was a plate of braised carp, plus pork belly slices and stewed radish, which made the whole family eat so deliciously.

The neighbors in the yard smelled the aroma of meat wafting through the yard and were all secretly envious.

Especially since the Jia family lives close by, they feel it even more deeply.

after eating.

Seeing that his two younger brothers were about to run out again, Wang Mengde hurriedly stopped them.

In the bedroom, he asked quietly:

"Yuan Chao, Wei Guo, did you guys fight with others at school yesterday?"

"Brother, how did you know? Did the second uncle complain to you?"

Wang Yuanchao also said in a low voice.

He was afraid that his parents would hear him and beat him again.

This is no longer the case when they were children and their parents were reluctant to beat them. Since the birth of their two nephews, their status in the family has plummeted. Whenever they are caught being naughty, they will be beaten.

"Well, don't ask me how I know. Just tell me whether there is one or not."

"Brother, we are not to blame for what happened yesterday. It was Ermao and the others who bullied a female classmate. We couldn't stand it, so we beat them up."

Wang Weiguo explained in a low voice beside him.

"Really?"

"Brother, it's true!"

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Wang Mengde believed it.

Because, although these two brothers are naughty on weekdays, they have never lied to him.

"Then you did nothing wrong. People who bully the weak should be beaten."

After praising the two, he changed the subject and carefully instructed again:

“However, since you two have practiced martial arts and are quite strong, you should be careful about how hard you strike next time and don’t hit people in vital areas.

Also, both of you should be careful. If you encounter someone with a knife or a gun, run away quickly. Don't try to be brave. Got it?"

He remembered that he had watched several TV series of this era before.

The young men inside would pull out knives and stab people without saying a word.

He was afraid that his two younger brothers were too young and impetuous to dodge.

You know, there is some truth to the saying, 'No matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.'

"Brother, don't worry, we have remembered it and have avoided the vital points.

Moreover, if you see that the situation is not good, you will not be stubborn. After all, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. "

Wang Yuanchao and Wang Weiguo said in unison.

Seeing that they had not forgotten his previous teachings, Wang Mengde felt relieved.

Yes, these two younger brothers have been very smart since they were young. They will not suffer any loss easily and they always remember what is said to him.

A week later.

In the morning, while the cabbage and other "winter storage" vegetables had not yet been put into the cellar, Wang Mengde entered the cellar and dug out two jars of high-proof liquor.

He carefully put the tiger bones and Chinese herbs in, sealed it, and placed it under the bed.

As for the tiger bones and tiger penis wine that were soaked a few months ago, he took them out.

"Dad, how about you try this?"

Wang Mengde slowly opened the jar, then took a light sniff, and immediately a strong smell of wine hit his nose.

At the same time, there is a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Okay, give me a cup to try first."

Wang Hao also smelled the aroma of wine. He swallowed and spoke impatiently.

This is a high-proof liquor brewed from pure grains, and soaked with tiger bones and some Chinese herbs for several months.

That taste is absolutely appetizing for those who love drinking.

Taking a wine glass from the cupboard, Wang Mengde filled it up.

Wang Hao picked up a cup, first put it to his nose and smelled it, then took a small sip.

He closed his eyes and savored the memory slowly. After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh, his face full of admiration:

“This wine is really good!”

Caochang Hutong.

Wang Mengde parked his bicycle and went straight to Lao He's house.

When I opened the door, I saw He Guangyao and He Youyu sitting on chairs in the living room, drinking hot tea and chatting.

"Grandpa, Dad."

"Meng De is here, come in and sit down."

After sitting down, Wang Mengde put the bag in his hand on the table, took out two bottles of wine from it, and then said to He Youyu:
"Grandpa, I brought you something good."

"Oh, this is Erguotou, it's really good stuff."

Although he is over 70 years old, He Youyu instantly perked up when he saw the wine bottle.

When he was young, he was a chivalrous man who ate meat and drank wine with big mouthfuls.

It was only in recent years, as I got older and was controlled by my family, that I could only drink two taels of liquor every ten days or half a month to satisfy my craving.

Unexpectedly, when his grandson-in-law came this time, he actually brought him two bottles of good wine.

He Guangyao on the side was a little anxious. He opened his mouth to speak, but Wang Mengde spoke first:
"Haha, Grandpa, this is not ordinary wine. I used tiger bones and some Chinese herbs to soak it for several months.

It is used in conjunction with acupuncture to treat your rheumatism. From now on, you should drink three grams of it every three days, but don’t drink too much.”

He Guangyao felt relieved when he heard that it was medicinal wine.

He Youyu, on the other hand, was a little anxious and hurriedly bargained:
"Ah? You can only drink three qian every three days. Can you drink more? How about five qian?"

"Dad, Meng De said that you can only drink three qian, so it must be three qian, not one qian more. I'll keep this wine for you. From now on, no matter how much you drink, I'll pour it for you."

He Guangyao grabbed the wine bottle on the table and said with a smile.

"Okay, three cents is three cents, no less."

Finally, He Youyu knew that there was no point in saying more, so he said helplessly.

Had a cup of tea and chatted for a while.

Then, Wang Mengde began to give him acupuncture.

Soon, more than twenty needles were inserted into the leg.

These needles are either deep or shallow, and some are even vibrating.

Gradually, He Youyu felt like a heat was flowing in his legs. The pain, swelling and stiffness that he had been experiencing in the past few days also disappeared with the heat.

More than twenty minutes later.

Remove the silver needles one by one.

Wang Mengde smiled and said, "Grandpa, with acupuncture and tiger bone wine, if nothing goes wrong, your rheumatism will be cured in a few months."
