After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

After Li Mingzhu hung up the phone, she reported loudly: "Don't worry, comrades, we have carpets and apples in stock, and in large quantities. The latest news is that she not only has these two, but also beef, mutton, pork, vermicelli, potatoes, cabbage, etc. The meat and other things are still on the way, all coming from the northwest, and will arrive in a few days. Editor-in-chief, you see, why don't we order this year's New Year's goods from Xia Ran, whoever orders it is not ordering it."

Others may not dare to speak so bluntly to the editor-in-chief, but Li Mingzhu is not like that. Her husband and the editor-in-chief are old friends and they have known each other for many years. Privately, she calls the editor-in-chief Uncle Lu.

Editor-in-Chief Lu thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure the beef and mutton were shipped from the northwest?"

If it comes from the northwest, it would be a good thing. I won’t talk about other things there, but these two kinds of meat are incomparable to those from other places.

He had eaten it when he was young. It was mailed to him by Lao Hou, his childhood friend.

He originally went to the southwest of the motherland, while Lao Hou went to the desolate northwest, which happened to be a place with a severe water shortage and had difficulty getting water on a daily basis. There was also a Xiao Jiangnan there, but unfortunately Lao Hou was not lucky enough to have that.

To be honest, they both had bad luck, and the places they went to were not very good. It was very dry over there, and they had to fetch water from the deep ditch.

The place he went to was indeed beautiful, and as long as people were not lazy, they would not starve. But it was precisely because of the beautiful scenery all year round that people like them had a particularly hard life and could not rest for many years.

Unlike the Great Northern Wilderness, not only is the land fertile, it also has abundant resources, and there is a long winter for recuperation.

As for Lao Hou, he can hibernate in the winter for several months. The only work he needs to do in the winter is probably to herd sheep in the mountains, provided there are sheep to herd.

The next step was to search the mountains and fields for hay, sweep the hay and the soil on the ground together with a broom and carry them home to use as filling for the kang, otherwise they would freeze to death in the winter.

At that time, there was coal foam for sale, but unfortunately it required tickets, and tickets were hard to get.

At that time, Lao Hou wrote many letters, mostly complaining about how dry it was there, how hard life was, and how greedy he was, but he never said that the meat there was not delicious.

On the contrary, the first letter after every New Year would definitely be to show off the mutton stew he drank, saying that the mutton there was not fishy at all, and that drinking a bowl of such mutton soup would warm his whole body.

Later, he went on business trips to several provincial capitals in the northwest. When he was there, he naturally had to eat beef and mutton. The beef and mutton there are indeed delicious.

He still misses them till now. If they were not too far away and difficult to get here, he would like to buy them and eat them.

Thinking of this, Editor-in-Chief Lu said, "Okay, I can consider it, but we have to see how her flesh is."

I haven't said anything final yet, but I still have to look at the product first. If you order something for an organization, the quality must be guaranteed.

"Editor-in-chief, does this mean that we will distribute beef and mutton this year? If so, my family won't have to fight over meat." These meats are particularly hard to buy around the end of the year.

"It would be great if this could really happen. Every year, buying New Year's goods is the most troublesome thing. Not only are there too many people, but you often have to queue for a long time, and when it's your turn, they suddenly say they're out of stock. It's so annoying."

"That's right. Every time we fight for New Year's goods, it's like a war."

It is convenient to eat seafood in Shanghai, but it is not so convenient to eat beef and mutton. They are all transported from other places and killed on the spot, or they are transported in refrigerated trucks after being killed. Either operation is not easy.

Therefore, the prices of these two items are also quite high locally.

Editor-in-Chief Lu left a hole in his mouth: "Well, we can only place an order after we see that the goods are OK. Our overall performance this year is good, and the benefits are also OK. If the goods are good, we will be generous this year and place more orders so that everyone can have a good year."

But the necessary procedures cannot be skipped. What if there is a problem with the product? Others will think that he has accepted some benefits from others to make the order. This is a sensitive issue and one cannot be too careful. He has only one principle when doing things: never leave any hidden dangers for himself.

"Okay, great, Editor-in-Chief."

"Editor-in-Chief, you are so kind and thoughtful."

"That's right, editor-in-chief, you're such a nice person." The others followed suit and stuck their "good guy" cards on their editor-in-chief, Old Man Lu, for free, praising him.

They did this because they knew that their editor-in-chief, Mr. Lu, was a good person in private and would not bother with them.

Old man Lu was speechless after being hit by everyone's "nice guy" card. It was just some New Year's goods, so what? He pretended to be impatient and said, "Get lost, start working. If you want to eat meat, just say so. Why do you have to talk so much?"

Of course, he felt a little embarrassed when hearing others praising him like that. While he was secretly happy, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart that the young people nowadays are not reserved at all and they talk about everything without hesitation, unlike the older generation who are reserved and introverted.

He was somewhat uncomfortable with this, as they were just kids whose hair had not yet fully grown. Being a magnanimous man, he did not bother with them. He rolled his eyes in an ungentlemanly manner, put his hands behind his back and walked away proudly and twistedly.

A voice came from behind: "Editor-in-Chief, look at what you said, you really want to eat meat, but you are a good person, which is even more true, and we are not lying."

"That's right, that's right, our editor-in-chief is famous for being a nice person."

"Just shut up! How can you praise someone like that? I feel bad for praising our editor-in-chief."

Editor-in-Chief Lu sat back at his workstation, took a big sip of strong tea, listened to the group of people chattering outside, hummed softly, and muttered, "Noisy, noisy."

He muttered like this, but if there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, he would definitely find that the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised. All of this showed that he was in a very good mood at the moment.

After delivering the goods here, Xia Ran called Secretary Wang on the street.

Fortunately, after the phone rang three times, it was picked up by Secretary Wang. Xia Ran made a long story short and directly suggested that Secretary Wang lead the people to grow apples, not only Red Fuji apples, but also red and yellow bananas, and ensure that no one else would harvest them. She would be responsible for buying them all, and of course the quality of the fruit had to meet the standards.

The reason why Xia Ran emphasized this was that these two kinds of apples could not be sold at a high price and no one would buy them. In the original body's memory, later on, merchants from other places came to buy apples. When the wholesale price of Red Fuji was more than 3 yuan per catty, no one wanted red bananas and yellow bananas even at 6 cents per catty.

Even when the price of Red Fuji apples rose to more than 6 yuan per pound, those two apples still sold for less than 6 yuan. Gradually, no one planted them anymore.

Ordinary people planted fruit trees to make money. If they couldn't sell them, naturally no one would plant them anymore. Gradually, they were all cut down and used as firewood.
