Chapter 422: No Pound of Meat is Free
"The boss bought meat as a gift. How can you, a young man from the village, also go to give a gift?"

"Who do you want to give it to?" Chen Huihong asked jokingly.

"Well, help me cut four pounds of bones with more meat, or better meat will do!"

"Put it in two bags and give them to Uncle Guo Biao and Master Jiang." Chen Hui said.

"Give it to them?" Chen Huihong didn't quite understand.

Chen Hui found an enamel cup.

He picked up the large teacup with cold tea on the table and poured a cup of cold tea into the cup in his hand.

After drinking tons of it, I felt much better.

He wiped his mouth and explained:
"I went to see Uncle Guo Biao today, and most of the people in the village saw it."

"Later, Chen Xiangdong and I carried the muntjac back, and many people in the village saw it."

"Uncle Guo Biao is not stupid. If he thinks about it, he will know what is going on. Even if he doesn't say it, he may not be calm in his heart."

"Give him two pounds of meat to thank him for teaching me recently."

"As for Master Jiang"

Chen Hui thought about the possible scenarios that might arise when looking for Jiang Houfa.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are you laughing at? Giving gifts to Carpenter Jiang, aren't you planning on doing something bad?" Chen Huihong asked.

"It's a bad idea, but not a bad one!"

"I just asked him to help me make furniture. After he gets these two pounds of meat, he will probably have to work overtime every day for the next ten days or half a month."

Chen Hui explained with a smile and looked around the room.

Turning back, he asked, "Where's Wenjing? Why haven't we seen her since she had her afternoon snack?"

"Wen Jing is going to work in a few days, isn't she? Teacher Chen brought her some information, and she went to get it."

"The class schedule has also been arranged. She is responsible for Chinese language for first and second graders."

"It only takes half a day to work. Substitute teachers don't have to be in school all day."

Chen Huihong cut the deer meat according to Chen Hui's request and said without raising her head.

"Hey!"

"Time flies so fast. My little wife is going to be a teacher."

"She is not at home for half a day now, and I am a little uncomfortable with it!" Chen Hui sighed.

"Although you are good at making money now, it is all unstable."

"There still needs to be someone at home who can eat in peace and security!"

Although the salary is not high, Chen Huihong still feels very gratified when talking about An Wenjing's work.

"Yeah, yeah, you're right!"

Chen Hui responded perfunctorily.

I put the good meat that Chen Huihong had cut into a bag.

"Aunt, I'm going to go to Master Jiang's house first. He should be at home today."

"Take the remaining deer leg and meat to my mother-in-law's house and stew them. We can eat them to replenish our body."

Wild meat is indeed nutritious.

In addition, since He Juanjuan bought most of the head, he made some money as well.

Chen Huihong did not object.

Also cut the portion for Chen Guobiao.

He cut another pound of good meat and sent it to Wang Hongmei.

The remaining parts and the processed offal were put into a bucket and carried to Lin Jiao's house to cook dinner.

It happened that the workers of the construction team were finishing their work, and they left the village together with Wang Kunhua.

Seeing Chen Huihong holding a bucket, Wang Kunhua took the initiative to help.

When the things were in the hands of their boss, the workers in the same field became more relaxed and crowded over to take a look.

"Sister Hong, most of this bucket of yours is meat?"

"This doesn't look like pork. It looks more like mutton."

"It's not sheep. You can tell it's not sheep just by smelling it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a heavenly life this is, with fish, meat and rice every day."

"Aunt Huihong, how did the boss do this? He is so successful at such a young age!" A group of people were walking towards the village entrance, chattering.

When the villagers heard this, they felt sad and couldn't figure out where Chen Hui got the money from.

I can only imagine some not-so-good ways.

When Chen Huihong arrived at Lin Jiao's house chatting and laughing with them, Chen Hui also arrived at Jiang Houfa's house.

He didn't go to anyone's house to install or deliver goods today.

Master and apprentice Huang Miao were in the yard, one was carving and the other was painting.

Seeing Chen Hui coming, Huang Miao shouted happily: "Hey, what a rare visitor! I have been in Chenjia Village for so long, and you have only been here a few times."

"Think about the rare times he came to see you, why did he do that?"

Jiang Houfa raised his head and glanced at Chen Hui.

While talking, he continued to carve his flowers.

Huang Miao thought for a moment, "This idiot, every time he comes to me, he asks me to do work for him."

After getting familiar with Master and his wife, I became emotionally close to them.

But it was never as relaxing as playing and joking with Chen Hui.

Having said that, he was still very happy to see Chen Hui coming. He raised his chin and asked, "What are you going to do now?"

"I'm here to see Master Jiang."

"I killed a muntjac at noon and brought you some meat."

Chen Hui saw an empty basin nearby and put the deer meat in it.

Chen Hui suddenly brought him meat, and Jiang Houfa was a little confused.

"Master, his house is almost finished, and he's here to get the furniture."

"Didn't you promise him that you would do overtime for him a month in advance?"

Huang Miao looked at Jiang Houfa, his face full of embarrassment and fear.

"Ah?! Ohhhh, yes, yes, yes!"

"Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!" Jiang Houfa stopped what he was doing and started mumbling with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Master Jiang, what's wrong?"

"You wouldn't take on other people's work and do overtime at night, would you?"

Chen Hui asked and looked at Huang Miao.

Huang Miao nodded and shrugged helplessly.

"Master Jiang, I made the agreement with you before we even started demolishing the house. Why did you take someone else's job?" Chen Hui asked anxiously.

With the productivity in this era, any good carpenter would have to give notice in advance.

Now, even if Chen Hui is not obsessed with finding Jiang Houfa, it would be difficult to find someone whose skills are not much worse than his.

Those who can get a job right away are most likely not very skilled.

Furniture is something that will be used for a long time. A little difference is fine, but too much difference is not acceptable.

"It doesn't count as taking someone else's job."

"Master made a complete set of furniture for a family in the county town last month."

"When I measured the size, I used the employer's ruler, and when I came back to make it, I used my own."

"When the item was delivered to his home, the measurements turned out to be wrong! The owner didn't want it anymore and had to have it remade for him."

"It's not that different actually, but they just don't want it, and there's nothing I can do, Master!"

Huang Miao explained, feeling very unhappy.

At this time, whether in the village or the county town, everyone built their own houses.

It doesn’t matter if the furniture is bigger or smaller.

Unlike the commercial housing of decades later.

I want to have three bedrooms and a living room in an 80-square-meter apartment, so I have to measure the size of everything I buy. If I buy a bigger bedside table, the wardrobe door won’t open.

"We didn't do the job well, so we should redo it. You can't blame others for this!"

Jiang Houfa scolded Huang Miao.

Looking at Chen Hui, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.
