Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Li Weijun was very clear about Secretary Qin's little thoughts. He initially estimated it to be 600 kilograms because he was afraid that he would not be able to eat that much due to his insignificance, so he deliberately lowered the estimate.

Later, I realized that I had a big appetite and was embarrassed to go back on my word, so I just went with the flow and thought that I would make the best of it. When all the fish were caught, I would have no choice but to accept it with a pinch of salt.

This can be regarded as the unique cunning of our peasant comrades.

Unfortunately, Li Weijun didn't buy it.

There is no order without rules. If several nearby communes and villages were to deceive their superiors and subordinates like Secretary Qin and make flexible adjustments, how could procurement work proceed smoothly?

"But, but if the steel mill doesn't take these extra ones, it will go bad and it will be a pity."

Secretary Qin pretended to be heartbroken and secretly observed Li Weijun's expression.

Li Weijun remained calm and said, "I see that the members are busy catching and fishing. We can just distribute the extra salt to each household. If there is not enough salt, ask Uncle Dachun to exchange more salt when he delivers goods in the city."

This statement won applause from everyone in the room.

There was no other way. Faced with Li Weijun's stubborn character, Secretary Qin could only accept defeat and wished he could slap himself a few times.

You see, it's a big deal to report how much goods you have. Why did you play tricks for no reason? Now you get what you want, right? You lose more than you gain.

Although Secretary Qin expressed regret, he did not blame Li Weijun for his actions.

Instead, he was full of praise and had more trust in this young man with a clean face.

Procurement is essentially a business.

When doing business, we are not afraid of you being cunning, but we are afraid of you not following the rules and having no principles.

In the remaining time, Li Weijun, Qin Huairu and their group planned to go back to the house to taste Song Gongming's cooking.

Wei Dachun, Qin Rongguang and a few strong young men drove several donkey carts and mule carts respectively.

After laying a layer of wet straw on the cart, the lively fish were moved onto the cart.

In order to prevent the straw from stinking and spoiling during transportation, two people worked in a group, one driving the cart and the other constantly pouring water on the straw.

Carrying a bag of dry food, he hurried to the steel mill with the letter of introduction.

Li Weijun had been busy all afternoon and had not eaten a single grain of rice or water. In addition, he and Qin Huairu had also consumed some energy on the way here.

I was so hungry that my stomach was sticking to my back. I went back to the house and looked in the kitchen. I saw that Song Gongming, the military advisor, had cooked three dishes and a soup.

Scrambled eggs with leeks, fried tofu, cold cucumber salad, and thick whitish crucian carp soup.

They are all served in large shallow ceramic bowls, the kind that can't fit on ordinary small plates.

Seeing Li Weijun, Qin Huairu, Secretary Qin and others coming back, Song Gongming chuckled and wiped his hands: "Boss, the old secretary is back, the dishes are all ready, only one is left, my specialty, Pearl Jade White Jade Soup, it tastes delicious."

"Pearl Jade White Jade Soup?"

When Li Weijun heard the familiar name of the dish, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

If I remember correctly, this was a delicacy that Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, accidentally ate when he was a beggar.

At that time, Zhu Baba was just a ragged, precarious, and almost starving to death on the street.

When he fainted one time, he was unexpectedly rescued by two beggars. While he was half asleep and half awake, he was saved by the "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" made by the two beggars.

Later, when he became rich and emperor, he still missed the fresh, sweet and delicious delicacies.

Once when he was craving for food, he specially recruited two beggars to come to Beijing to serve as imperial chefs to cook for the civil and military officials so that they could taste this amazing delicacy.

As a result, the two beggars picked up two buckets of sewage from the restaurant and boiled a pot of stinking soup, which made all the civil and military officials and Zhu Yuanzhang himself vomit.

Just in case, Li Weijun lifted the lid of the pot and took a look.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that it was vegetables stewed with tofu and shrimp tails.

Seeing Li Weijun's attitude, Song Gongming stretched his neck and smiled: "Hey! Has the boss heard this crosstalk? Even if we have the courage of a bear or a leopard, we dare not let the boss eat sewage."

Li Weijun glared at him and said, "Stop talking nonsense. You know what Pearl Jade White Jade Soup is, but you're still trying to scare people? Just have a good meal. We have to go to Canned Food Village in the afternoon."

Training is training, but after dinner.

Li Weijun still took out a bag of Iraqi candied dates from his personal space and handed it to Song Gongming who was busy running around.

"The old man has bad teeth, these dates are soft and fresh, they will make your mouth sweet, you kid, don't eat them alone."

Song Gongming's eyes welled up and he took it hurriedly. He was even more determined to go through fire and water for his boss from now on.

Human beings are emotional animals, they know cold and heat, especially for Song Gongming, a storyteller of the lowest class.

Not only did Li Weijun treat him well, he also cared about his mother's health. This kindness was beyond words.

If you treat me as a national hero, I will repay you with my life and death.

Li Weijun naturally noticed the change in Song Gongming's expression and felt relieved.

The so-called ruler is longer and the inch is shorter.

Song Gongming, a useless guy who can neither lift nor carry anything, may be of little use in the countryside where people have to dig in the soil for food, but to Li Weijun, he is a rare talent.

The restraints will be released later.

If Li Weijun wants to make a career and achieve something, he really needs someone like Song Gongming who is quick-witted and tactful.

After chatting with Secretary Qin for a while, Li Weijun and Song Gongming rode their bicycles to Cantou Village.

It is a headache to transport the thousands of kilograms of watermelons and grain from the Canning Village to the steel mill.

Watermelon is a hard thing to handle. If you shake it a little, it might even grin.

In addition, there are many hills in Cantou Village, some of which are flat but gentle, while others are undulating and low-lying. Even if Li Weijun called the steel rolling mill to send a truck over, it would be of no avail.

We have to rely on animal power to pull the carts of watermelons.

When they arrived at the Guantou Village office, they found Ma Xuewu, with a grim face, interrogating a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The man was wearing a green jacket and half-kneeling on the ground, mumbling something inaudible. There were several ferocious-looking militiamen standing next to him.

Li Weijun got closer and heard that this middle-aged man was the culprit who caused the fight between the two villages in the morning.

It was this guy who hit Secretary Qin with a worn-out shoe filled with stones, causing him to lose two front teeth.

"Jiang Hualong, you still don't admit that you are an enemy spy!"

"Before we set out, I repeatedly warned everyone to just pretend and yell a few times, and try to avoid fighting. But you, a bastard, almost killed someone. Do you know that? And you still say you're not an enemy spy!"

"It's unfair. I'm really not an enemy spy. I just made a mistake in a moment of confusion. I didn't expect to hit someone!"

"You beast, you still dare to quibble. Look at your shitty name, Jiang Hualong? I think you should just call yourself Jiang Huachong. It sounds unlucky!"

Ma Xuewu was so angry when he saw Jiang Chenglong trying to defend himself that he kicked him a few more times before he felt relieved.
