The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Liu Minghui came to the purchasing department. Today is Saturday, and the steel mill will be closed tomorrow, so the buyers are staying in the purchasing department and have no plans to go out.

"Section Chief, I heard that my sister-in-law gave birth?"

Wang Wen asked with a smile when he saw Liu Minghui coming in, and many people nearby also looked over.

"Yes, mother and child are safe."

Liu Minghui said it happily. It was not something that could not be discussed.

"Congratulations, Section Chief. We'll have to set up several tables."

Many people urged Liu Minghui to treat them.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui waved his hand and said, "No problem. We don't have to go to work tomorrow. Everyone can come to Donglaishun in the evening."

Liu Minghui has been the section chief for more than a year and is very familiar with the buyers. This is a good opportunity for everyone to get together.

"The section chief is generous."

"Thank you, section chief."

When they heard that Liu Minghui was going to treat everyone, everyone cheered. Looking at everyone's smiling faces, Liu Minghui was also very happy.

"It's a small treat, but I don't accept gifts. Just come."

Liu Minghui gave a few more warnings, otherwise he was afraid that they would send him gifts.

Wang Wen and a few others who were more familiar with Liu Minghui also knew that Liu Minghui was not short of this little thing, and they all said that they wanted to eat Liu Minghui today.

After saying this, Liu Minghui returned to the office, but Li Yue followed him in.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Minghui asked when he saw Li Yue coming in.

"Chief, Director Li asked us to purchase some supplies yesterday. These are for the experts from Russia."

"Oh, did Director Li say what specifically he needed?"

The Russian experts have been here for three or four days, and Liu Minghui didn't expect that they would need to purchase supplies right away.

"Director Li said that there is no shortage of meat, but the main thing is vegetables and fruits, and most importantly, there is not enough alcohol."

Liu Minghui was stunned when he heard this. He guessed that there was no more wine. When those experts came, Liu Minghui went to accompany them.

Those people drank alcohol like it was water. No one in the steel mill could drink more than Liu Minghui. Of course, Liu Minghui used space cheating.

"It's no use asking us for the alcohol. Please go out first. I'll talk to the director later."

Liu Minghui asked Li Yue to leave.

Then he thought, vegetables and fruits are easy to deal with, but Liu Minghui has no way to deal with wine and beverages, as he doesn't have much wine in his space.

Although Liu Minghui would provide Li Huaide with several bottles of medicinal wine every month, these were all loose wine purchased outside and stored in the space, and were produced by relying on the time acceleration of the space.

Liu Minghui thought about it and called Li Weiguo.

"Hello, Director. I'm Liu Minghui."

"Oh, Minghui, what's up?"

Li Weiguo on the other end of the phone said after hearing this.

"Director, didn't Li Yue tell me about the task you assigned to me when we were at work today? I said we can't buy the wine, so we have to go to the First Department to solve this problem."

Liu Minghui said directly that it would be very easy to let the Purchasing Department handle this matter. After all, they were all planned purchases, and Zhang Zhiqiang just needed to find some connections.

"You're talking about this. This is something that Zhang Zhiqiang can't solve. Those experts drink so much every day. I just want you to buy some Erguotou for them."

"They just like strong alcohol anyway."

Li Weiguo told Liu Minghui the details of the incident.

It turned out that the steel mill felt that it was too expensive to provide them with bottled wine every day, and they would have to stay in the steel mill for at least a few months, so the steel mill was unwilling to spend such money.

I just wanted Liu Minghui to buy some Erguotou.

It just so happened that this wine was produced in Niulanshan, so they wanted to ask Liu Minghui to make a trip there.

"So that's how it is. Then there's no problem on my end."

Liu Minghui nodded after hearing this. It just so happened that Xu Huizhen's family was in the winemaking business, so he planned to go and ask her about it later.

After hanging up the phone, Liu Minghui called Wang Wen in.

"Wang Wen, go to the courtyard this afternoon and bring back some supplies. This is for those Russian experts."

Liu Minghui planned to put the supplies in later and then go find Xu Huizhen.

"Okay, Chief. Is this batch of supplies large? Do you need me to call a few colleagues?"

Wang Wen asked.

Liu Minghui thought about it and decided to send two more pigs.

"Call a few people, just in time to bring back two pigs."

"If I'm not back before I get off work this afternoon, you'll take them to Donglaishun, okay?"

Liu Minghui handed the matter of treating everyone to dinner to Wang Wen, as he was too lazy to go over and reserve a table in advance.

"Okay, Chief. I'll go and reserve a seat later."

Wang Wen said this with a cheerful look on his face.

Due to the tight supply of meat now, you need to make reservations in advance to eat at Donglaishun, and the supply of mutton is limited.

After making the arrangements, Liu Minghui left the steel rolling mill. Because he had to take care of Yu Li in the past few days, Liu Minghui had not visited Chen Xueru, so today was a good opportunity for him to go over and accompany her.

When they arrived at the tavern, there was no customer inside. As soon as Liu Minghui entered, he saw Xu Huizhen holding a child and looking at the bill.

"Boss Xu, I'm here to nag you again."

Liu Minghui greeted everyone cheerfully when he entered the room.

"Hey, what a rare visitor! Why are you here so early today?"

“I haven’t opened yet.”

Seeing Liu Minghui coming in, Xu Huizhen looked at him with a gossipy look on her face. She had not gotten any news from Chen Xueru before, and now that she had moved in, Xu Huizhen planned to find out some information.

"Boss Xu, I'm not here to drink today. I'm here to ask you something."

Liu Minghui walked to the counter and said to Xu Huizhen.

"Oh, what information do you want to find out? Just tell me first. If it's too much trouble, don't ask."

"No, I heard that Boss Xu's hometown is in Niulanshan?"

"Yes, our house is right there. Why, do you want to buy some wine?"

Xu Huizhen originally thought that Liu Minghui wanted to ask about Chen Xueru, but she didn't expect that he wanted to buy some wine.

"Yes, our steel mill wants to buy 1,000 kilograms of liquor from Niulanshan."

After careful consideration, Liu Minghui set a goal of 1,000 kilograms. Half of it would be given to the steel mill, and the other half Liu Minghui planned to keep in his space for his own use, so that he would not need to buy loose liquor frequently.

"With so many, do you guys at the steel mill also want to open a tavern?"

Xu Huizhen said in surprise.

"Of course not. This is not for the Russians. They drink too much. If we buy less, it won't be enough."

Liu Minghui gave a brief explanation.

Xu Huizhen didn't care about these things. She thought about it and realized that Xu's father didn't have that much money at home, so it seemed that she could only share some of it.

"My father has quite a bit of wine stored at home, but it probably isn't enough. If you can go and get it back, I'll ask my father to buy some in the village."

Xu Huizhen said that this was too much and the distance was too far, so she wanted Liu Minghui to solve the transportation problem himself.
