Secretary Dakang stood up and straightened his back.

Looking at Li Bowen, "You are the boss's son, right? You look really energetic. I have already agreed with the boss to come over to work every morning and afternoon after get off work. Don't worry, it will be done within a week!"

"Oh, that's fine. What's your name, Master?"

"No need to worry about your surname being Wang, Wang Mantang!"

That’s right!

"Master Wang, are you asking your classmates to come out to do some private work?" Although it sounded very presumptuous, Li Bowen still asked.

"I'm sorry to embarrass you, but it's true. There are many people in my family and I have a breastfeeding grandson. I can do some private work to earn more money to buy milk powder for the child!" Wang Mantang didn't think it was a big deal.

"Milk powder is in short supply now and it's hard to find!"

"Who says it's not? It's mainly because it's too expensive. A month's salary can't buy a few cans. But we can't let our children only eat porridge!"

"Yes, it's not enough to just feed her with milk powder. You have to give your daughter-in-law some nutritious food!"

"Alas, there is nothing I can do. I can't buy chicken, duck, fish or meat even if I want to."

Li Bowen thought: "Master Wang, if there is fish, do you want it?"

"Yes, can you catch any fish? If you can, I'll pay you back for your work. It would be best if you could bring back some crucian carp." Wang Mantang's eyes immediately lit up.

"Let me take a look. I should be able to get it. Not in the next two days. Wait for me for a while after you finish your work on the weekend. I'll let you know if it works or not!"

"OK, no problem!"

Li Bowen found another way to make money. Wang Mantang is the captain of the Beijing Ancient Architecture Team. They are all hard workers and need nutrition.

It would be a good idea if the fish and meat we brought back could be sold to the ancient building team through Wang Mantang. Although they might not be able to exchange them for food, their team would definitely not be short of money.

After thinking it over, Li Bowen decided to go back to his hometown again this weekend.

But what should Gong Ermei do? If it doesn’t work, she can just postpone it. Making money is the most important thing now.

On Saturday, Li Bowen went to the hospital to change the dressing and was still thinking about how to start the conversation.

As a result, Gong Ermei said to Li Bowen with an apologetic look on her face: "Bowen, I'm so sorry. A leader is coming to inspect this weekend, and no one in the hospital is allowed to rest. We can only postpone it to next week. Don't worry, I will definitely adjust my shift next week!"

Well, this is perfect. It saves me from having to find excuses.

"Okay, that's fine. Let's go next week. We have plenty of time!"

"Thank you!"

"How can I thank you?"

"I don't know either. How about I treat you to a meal?"

"No, how about you just kiss me as compensation?" Li Bowen, who was already used to the casual jokes of later generations, blurted out this sentence unconsciously.

Gong Ermei blushed instantly, and stood silently behind him for a long time, then suddenly leaned over.

Then he turned and ran out of the treatment room.

Feeling the warmth on his face, Li Bowen was also stunned.

Damn, it was just a joke, but this girl actually took action.

Looking at Gong Ermei who had already run out, Li Bowen shouted, "I haven't finished changing the medicine yet!"

After a while, another nurse came in.

"Why are you so embarrassed? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt!"

"I didn't do anything to her?" Li Bowen looked innocent.

"You pretty boys only know how to flirt with young girls. Let me tell you, if you dare to bully her, none of us in the entire department will let you go!" the young nurse threatened.

Li Bowen smiled and said, "How dare I? I don't want to be stabbed 36 times, with each knife avoiding vital parts!"

"Hehehe, it's all you need to know!"

After changing the medicine, he said hello to Gong Ermei. The girl was too shy to look up. Li Bowen left the hospital amid the jeers of a group of young nurses.

……

The next day was the weekend, and Li Bowen hadn't come home yet.

Uncle San came by himself, entered the house, pulled Li Dahai and Li Bowen into the house, and closed the door: "Xiao Wen, we caught a lot of fish this time, can your factory eat it?"

"how many?"

"More than two thousand pounds!"

"So many! Where did you put all those fish, Uncle San?"

"It's still roaming around in the village. I was scared to death, so I came here to tell you first!"

"Yes, yes, that's good, Uncle San. You can rest at home first. I'll go look around the factory to see how much we can harvest. But I don't think we can get that much food. Can you just give me money or tickets?"

Third uncle Li Dahe nodded and said, "That's fine. The food we brought back last week is enough to last for a few days. We can exchange a little for food and the rest for money. It would be even better if we have cloth coupons!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" After saying that, Li Bowen went out to find He Yuzhu.

The two men came to Li Huaide's house and explained the situation to him.

Li Huaide was very happy. He had just told them last week to keep up the good work. Unexpectedly, they brought in more than 2,000 kilograms this week, which was enough for a dinner for the whole factory.

"Well done, bring them all back. Everyone in the factory will have some meat next week. I'll report to the factory director and secretary now. I'll give you the highest market price!"

Li Bowen secretly calculated in his mind: the current purchase price of fish in the market is about 2000 cents, and the selling price is about 700 cents per catty. The purchase price of 5 catties is 1000 yuan, and the selling price of 300 cents is yuan. The two of them earned yuan in this deal.

Apart from the 90 yuan given to He Yuzhu, he still has 210 yuan left!

It's definitely a fortune.

After returning to the courtyard, he discussed the price with his uncle and asked him to drive over tomorrow to deliver the goods. Last time, Li Bowen paid for the grain to He Yuzhu with his own money, but he couldn't do that now, otherwise he would lose a lot of money if the money increased. Moreover, last time, it was only his uncle and a few others who made the money themselves, but this time, it was estimated that many people in the village would join in.

Then we have to make it clear. Uncle San also agrees with what Li Bowen said. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that it is a matter for everyone in the village.

After having lunch at home, Li Dahe hurried back.

Not long after the factory started working on Monday morning, someone from the security guard came to inform Li Bowen that someone was looking for him outside the gate.

After finding out that the people coming were driving a cart, I knew it was my third uncle and his friends.

Li Bowen ran to the office building to inform Li Huaide, took the note and hurried to the door, asking the guard to let him in.

Director Yang, Li Huaide and several key leaders of the factory all came to the logistics department. You know, this is a difficult period, and getting so many fish at once is a big deal no matter which unit it is!

"Comrade, thank you! You have solved the urgent problem of our factory!" Director Yang pulled Li Dahe's hand and shook it hard.

Li Dahe had never seen such a scene before, and quickly said, "You are too polite, leader! We have no other choice but to exchange for some food and coupons!"

"That's easy! Director Li, when you settle the bill for this comrade later, see what they need and try your best to satisfy them!" Director Yang turned around and said to Li Huaide.

"Okay, director!"
