Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Led by the driver, He Lai soon arrived at Mr. Zhou's office.

Not to mention that the deputy minister's treatment is pretty good, the office room is quite large and fully furnished.

He Lai sat on the leather sofa and felt it. It seemed better than the sofa in his own home. What a mistake. He should have got a leather sofa at that time!

"You can't even say hello when you come in, why do you need an old man to greet you first?"

When Mr. Zhou saw He Lai sitting directly on the sofa, he laughed and scolded.

"Grandpa Zhou, there's nothing to be polite about. I only use that kind of formality with strangers."

He Lai said nonchalantly, thinking that he would trick the sofa back later.

"Okay, okay, tell me what's the matter that brought you here in such a hurry? Your Grandpa Zhou is very busy and has no time to play around with you."

"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll have a cup of tea first. Grandpa Zhou, please bring out the good tea. I love Longjing or Maojian!"

"Drink shit, I just have a little Gao Sha here, do you want to drink it or not?"

"I don't believe it, Grandpa Zhou. You, a minister, don't have tea!"

"If you don't believe me, look for yourself!" Mr. Zhou took out a tea can from the drawer and placed it on the table.

He Lai picked up the tea can, opened it and took a look, and sure enough, there was only a little bit of Gao Sha!

"You believe it now, right? How about you bring some tea to the old man sometime? Otherwise, life will be hard without alcohol and cigarettes!"

Mr. Zhou started to play the victim.

"Okay, Grandpa Zhou, I know you must have hidden the good tea. You old revolutionaries like to play this trick. But I'm not here to deliver tea today. I really have something to do. I'm here to deliver this."

He Lai pointed to the flour bag on the ground.

"Flour? I guess the old man is so poor that he doesn't even have steamed buns to eat!" Grandpa Zhou glanced and said with a smile.

"Grandpa Zhou, when you get old you should get a pair of reading glasses. Didn't you see that there's something green in the bag? It's called chlorella powder."

"What powder is that? Let me see." Old Master Zhou walked over from his seat, opened the bag and took a look. It was green powder!

"Why does this feel like flour? How did you get it?"

"You don't need to know how it was done, Grandpa Zhou. We can take this to the Ministry of Agriculture to find Grandpa Xu. We will definitely be able to extort a lot of money from him, so that he won't bully you all the time."

He Lai gave Mr. Zhou the paper recording the cultivation of Chlorella.

"Yes, yes, yes, this damn old man must be made to bleed this time."

Mr. Zhou looked at the breeding formula and said with a smile.

"You are such a bad boy. This is urine and feces. You are deliberately trying to disgust Old Man Xu!"

After reading the recipe, Mr. Zhou became even happier.

"Grandpa Zhou, don't underestimate this thing. It's very nutritious. You can try it. You can drink it by soaking it in water!"

"Really? Come on, have a drink!" After hearing this, Mr. Zhou couldn't wait to make himself a drink and started drinking.

"The taste is so-so, but it's drinkable. But what about the yield?"

"10,000 catties per mu!"

"Speak properly! I get a headache when I hear about the yield of 10,000 catties per mu."

"Grandpa Zhou, this can really produce 10,000 catties per mu! If it's done, 20,000 catties is not impossible!"

He Lai smiled and said that the reproduction ability of Chlorella is very abnormal. It can divide two or three times in one night. One can split into four or five, and it can increase dozens of times in one night!

"Really? Okay, okay, let's go find Old Man Xu now."

When Mr. Zhou heard this, he immediately wanted to go to the Ministry of Agriculture.

"Grandpa Zhou, I won't go. You go by yourself. Don't say I did it. I won't admit it even if you do! Just send me back. My bicycle is still in your compound."

He Lai doesn't want to go to the Ministry of Agriculture. He must be very busy right now. After all, there is no food in the whole country and the pressure is too great.

"Okay, let's go, let's go, I'll take you back first, and I'll go to the Ministry of Agriculture myself."

Mr. Zhou walked back to his seat, made a phone call, informed his secretary, and arranged a car.

After a while, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Zhou, the car has been arranged. Shall we go now?"

"Yes, let's go now. He Lai, this is Xiao Gao, you two should get to know each other."

Mr. Zhou couldn't wait any longer and walked out of the office directly. He Lai and Secretary Gao had no choice but to follow him.

He Lai soon returned to the military compound and rode his bicycle back to the steel rolling mill. He also had to help get wild boar meat for Li Huaide.

He arrived at the Red Star Steel Mill and quickly got a small truck from the fleet. He drove around outside, put the six wild boars killed yesterday in the car, and returned to the back of the steel mill.

Director Zhao from Logistics is already waiting here with his men.

"Mr. He, thank you for your hard work." When Director Zhao saw He coming down, he immediately stepped forward to talk to him.

"Director Zhao, you're welcome. I'll leave this to you."

He Lai handed a large Qianmen cigarette to Director Zhao.

"Okay. Xiao Wang, go and unload the wild boar."

Director Zhao waved his hand and asked his men to unload the wild boar from the truck.

"Director Zhao, my cousin is going to work in the factory in a few days, so you have to help me arrange it."

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely take your congratulatory work seriously."

Director Zhao readily agreed, saying that he was only trying to solve the housing problem, and it didn't matter who he gave it to.

"Then Director Zhao, I'll be leaving first. You go on with your work." Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, He Lai left.

……

"Director Li, the wild boar is ready. It weighs 1,125 kilograms. I estimate that after the slaughter, there will be more than 900 kilograms of pork."

Director Zhao came to Li Huaide to report the harvest of wild boars.

"Good, good, this He Lai is really capable, he easily got thousands of pounds of pork!"

Li Huaide sighed.

"Yes, I saw the six pigs in the carriage were all stunned. They were all shot in the head. I don't know how Engineer He found these wild boars."

"Okay, this is their skill. Don't go asking. Did the security department get a wild boar today?"

"No, I heard that the guard has been in the tree for two days."

"Forget it, forget it. I'll go to the meat processing plant and see if I can get some pork for emergency use."

"What do we do with the meat?"

"Leave 100 kilograms for the workers, and give the rest to them. Notice to the whole factory that we will give the workers some extra meat and vegetables today."

A thousand kilograms of pork can last for two or three days if you eat it sparingly.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Director Zhao said this and left the office.

"Xiao Liang, go call He Lai over." Li Huaide ordered Secretary Liang to call He Lai and give him the two job positions in the machine repair factory promised to him.

……

He Lai sat leisurely on the chair, crossed his legs, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Li, that wild boar is pretty good, right?"

Li Huaide replied with a smile: "Haha, you are quite capable, here you go." After that, he handed two employment letters from the machine repair factory to He Lai.

He Lai took the employment letter and said happily, "Thank you, Uncle Li. Can I go over there tomorrow to complete the employment formalities? But I'm not very familiar with this machine repair shop."

"I'll have Secretary Liang take you to the machine repair shop tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be satisfied! Is that ok?"

He Lai happily gave a thumbs up and praised: "Uncle Li is so reliable!"

"You little brat, you're getting better and better at flattering others."

Li Huaide scolded with a smile.

"I'm speaking from the heart. I admire Uncle Li so much."

"Okay, okay, go back. I have something else to take care of later, so I won't keep you here any longer."

Li Huaide waved his hand and asked He Lai to go back.
