Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

The next day, after getting up in the morning and cleaning up, porridge was cooking on the stove when He Yuzhu knocked on the door and came in: "Brother Zhuzi, you're up early, what's the matter?"

He Yuzhu looked back and saw no one, so he said to Zhongshan: "Shanzi, it's only been two days since Yu Shui got married, and you said you can get some meat, look..."

Zhong Shan heard this and said, "It's so fast, Yu Shui is getting married. I'll bring it back tonight. Come to my house to get it. Brother Zhuzi, have you had breakfast yet? Have a bite here."

He Yuzhu smiled when he heard that the meat was fine, "Then I'll be grateful to you. Meat is really hard to buy now. Yushui's mother-in-law has been queuing for two days and didn't buy any meat. She's worried about it. I won't eat it. I have to tell Yushui right away. See you later!"

He Yuzhu rushed out, and after Zhongshan cooked the porridge, he leisurely went to work.

Yesterday's incident still affects the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, and people still discuss it occasionally. In just one day, a deputy director of the committee was dismissed. Life is so unpredictable. In this old city, it is hard to say who has a leader behind them.

After studying all day at the street office, He sent Song Lili home after get off work. As soon as he got home and lit the stove, He Yuzhu came back.

Seeing He Yuzhu coming, Zhong Shan took out twenty kilograms of pork and two chickens before He Yuzhu entered the house. After thinking for a while, he took out a net bag of apples.

"Brother Zhuzi is back, come and see if there are enough things. If not, we can talk later!" Zhongshan asked He Yuzhu to come into the house and said, "This bag of apples is my gift to Yushui."

Nowadays, weddings only have one or two tables. The amount of meat that Zhongshan took out is enough to last even until the New Year.

When He Yuzhu saw this, he couldn't stop laughing: "Oh, this meat is so fat, it's hard to buy now. Well, I'll send it first. Shanzi, I'll give you the money. You have to get me some more when I get married after the New Year!"

After He Yuzhu gave Zhongshan the money, he happily went to the home of He Yushui's target, a police officer, to deliver the meat.

After Zhongshan finished his dinner, it was getting dark, so he turned on the stove and left the house to deliver supplies to a small warehouse in the suburbs. Zhongshan still hid in the dark, waiting for the people from the steel rolling mill to come and inspect the supplies. Only then did Zhongshan come out, take the money on the table, count it, and throw it into the space.

After leaving the warehouse, Zhong Shan thought that since he was out anyway, he might as well go to the Pigeon Market. After telling the gatekeeper of the Pigeon Market that he wanted to buy something, Zhong Shan entered the Pigeon Market.

Maybe it was because the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were more people and vendors in the Pigeon Market, and most of them sold food. After Zhongshan bought a few Maotai tickets, he saw a man selling pens, Hero pens. He should be an internal staff of the pen factory. After buying a few Hero pens, he started shopping again.

As he walked, he really found something good, a big cat skin with the head attached, a complete skin. Looking at the word "king" on the big cat's head, Zhongshan bought it without any hesitation. This thing is only available at this time. Don't even think about it in the future, and don't even think about it in a few decades.

Not far away, I bought a chess set with ivory chess pieces and a huanghuali chessboard. It can be seen that the original owner took good care of it and it had almost no bumps or scratches.

After that, he didn't see anything he liked. There were a few people selling antiques, and there were quite a few antiques in Zhongshan's space, and he didn't plan to collect any from outside. He couldn't tell the real from the fake, but don't think that there are no fakes at this time. The craft of counterfeiting is also a long-standing tradition.

The wind is about to blow. Wouldn't it be easier to exchange materials from Deputy Director Li? Zhong Shan didn't know whether antiques were real or fake, but he believed in the capitalists' vision. Just like the antiques in the space, the ones collected by capitalists must be good!

Moreover, he collects antiques simply because other people who travel through time collect antiques, and he feels out of place if he doesn't. In fact, he doesn't understand these things and doesn't like them that much.

After seeing that there was nothing he wanted to buy, Zhongshan left the pigeon market and returned home.

The next day after work, someone outside the office called out, "Zhongshan, your phone is ringing!"

Zhong Shan was also stunned when he heard this. Who would call him? He quickly replied, "Hey, I'll be right there. Please come over! Thank you!"

After Zhong Shan arrived at the reception room, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is Zhong Shan!"

A male voice came from the other end of the line: "Xiao Zhong, this is Li Huaide from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

When Zhong Shan heard that it was Deputy Director Li, he said, "Director Li, what do you want me to do?"

Deputy Director Li laughed and said, "Hey, what's the point of asking for orders? Xiao Zhong, are you free tonight? I finally have some free time today, so I want to treat you to a meal. Xiao Zhong, you must do me the honor!"

When Zhong Shan heard that Li Huaide had called, he did not refuse: "Okay, I'll go to the steel mill after get off work tonight!"

"That's a deal. I'll ask Sha Zhu to cook some delicious dishes for you tonight!" After Deputy Director Li hung up the phone, Zhong Shan also returned to the office.

Song Lili looked at Zhong Shan and asked curiously, "Brother Zhong Shan, who's calling? It's from the street office. Is there something urgent?"

Zhong Shan did not hide it: "Nothing, Deputy Director Li of the Red Star Steel Mill said he would go to the mill for dinner tonight."

Sun Demin heard from the side: "The deputy director of the Red Star Steel Mill is Li Huaide? I heard that he has great power in the steel mill!"

When Zhong Shan heard that he knew him, he asked, "That's him, Brother Sun, do you know him?"

Sun Demin said, "How novel! There is only one big factory near our street, and there are only a few factory directors and deputy directors. Who hasn't heard of it?"

Zhong Shan agreed when he heard this. There was only one big factory nearby, and when the steel rolling mill was expanding, priority was given to recruiting workers from nearby areas. Housing was also allocated nearby, so he had a lot of contact with the street office.

After get off work, Zhong Shan sent Song Lili off and headed for the steel mill. When he arrived at the gate, Hu Chengyu was still waiting for him at the door. After the two of them went to the canteen, Deputy Director Li was already waiting for him at the door. There were a few people next to him reporting something to Deputy Director Li, who should be Deputy Director Li's people.

When Deputy Factory Director Li saw Zhong Shan coming, he came over to greet him. The people behind him also looked at Zhong Shan curiously: "Xiao Zhong is here. You are late today. You will have to drink a glass of wine later."

Hearing this, Zhong Shan immediately apologized: "Oh, it's my fault, it's my fault, I will drink three cups as punishment!"

After letting Zhong Shan into the canteen, Deputy Director Li asked those people to go back, leaving only Hu Chengyu.

After a while, when the dishes were served, Zhong Shan took a look and thought, wow! These should be the ones he sold to the steel mill, and then he came here to eat them.

After seeing all the dishes were served, Deputy Factory Director Li raised his glass and said to Zhong Shan, "Xiao Zhong, today's meal is to complete another deal, and the workers can have a good New Year. This is to thank you.

The second thing is to let you know that I am the chairman of the steel mill committee, and future transactions will not be affected in any way!"

After clinking glasses with Zhong Shan, Zhong Shan said to Li Huaide: "Congratulations, Director Li. I'm also raising a glass to wish you a smooth career in the future. I drink!"

With the two men praising each other, the banquet was a happy one for both the host and the guests.
