The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 21 Lao Mo ([-])

Seeing that there was no sign of Old Liu in the crowd, Chen Jisheng didn't go out to say hello. He just sat in the backyard. The cafeteria would also come this morning, so he had to prepare in advance. If he had known about it, he would have eaten first.

After finishing the five pigs in the cafeteria, Chen Jisheng thought for a while and decided to pay for them in cash to make Lao Fan feel good.

Lao Mo has another show tomorrow. He has spent a lot of money in the past two days. He has already used the 2000 yuan left by his parents. There is no use having too much money, but he still needs some working capital.

Lao Mo had to use some props here, otherwise he couldn't keep those scumbags down. Seeing that the front yard was still busy, Chen Jisheng found a corner in the warehouse and began to clean his guns and prepare props.

There was a lot of ice piled up in the warehouse last night, and the ice cubes that had just been put on it made the warehouse very cool. Greasing the new guns in stock was a tedious and dirty job, and it was not a pain if it was done in a cool environment.

The fastest way is to use fire, but it is inevitably simple and crude. There is no feeling at all, and the smell is extremely strong. Chen Jisheng doesn't want to do this.

He smashed several sacks and flour bags with an M6 saber, took out the oiled towel, and began to carefully dismantle and clean the gun in the corner.

Playing with more guns, shooting is not the most enjoyable thing to do. The most enjoyable thing is to clean the guns. When there is no movement in the front yard, Chen Jisheng wiped out a total of five long guns and six pistols. It is a good enjoyment. I made a few gadgets along the way.

Based on yesterday's lesson, Chen Jisheng was more thoughtful this time when he took things from space. He took the guns in the boxes and made a pile when he put them away. If he did this, it would be counted three times.

After packing up the things and arriving in the front yard, the people on Lao Liu’s side are also very particular. They basically piled up the furniture according to what Chen Jisheng said. After carefully looking at the brought furniture, there are about 100 pieces of furniture, big and small.

I picked out an old bamboo bed with pulp and a bamboo rocking chair of the same color, and put away the rest.

This time, Lao Liu was quite honest. Although there was no official wardrobe for the big piece, he did have the dismantled canopy bed and picture desk, and the workmanship was very good. The bamboo bed and the like were also considered high-quality products.

After finishing the furniture, Chen Jisheng lay down on the bamboo rocking chair and began to review the transactions to see if there were any major omissions.

If you want to do things with fewer traps, it is not enough to be cautious. More review is the key. Often small details can cover up the traps. Of course, it is impossible not to leave any clues.

Lao Fan arrived a little later. Three three-wheelers arrived at around 08:30, and Lao Fan rode one himself.

When they arrived at the front yard and saw Chen Jisheng there, Lao Fan hurried over and said, "Didn't you agree not to touch each other?"

Old Fan was afraid that he would be robbed of his credit, so Chen Jisheng smiled and dismissed his worries.

"There's so much in total. It's unnecessary. Anyway, you can't hide it in the cafeteria. This time, you will get some benefits. According to what you said, you will pay [-] cents for the Great Unity, no tickets."

When Lao Fan heard that the market price was free of tickets, the worry on his face immediately disappeared. This was a big deal. Five fat pigs had a thousand catties of meat. That was about a thousand catties of meat tickets!
Meat dishes in the canteen also require meat tickets. There is no loss, only floating wins. Every time you come and go, you can guarantee thousands of catties of meat tickets.

After being happy for a while, Lao Fan fell into the distress of the distribution of meat tickets again, so don't get busy and get a bamboo basket to fetch water.

When it comes to pulled pork, Lao Fan has the same virtue as Lao Liu, with three layers of thatch on the left and three layers on the right. Is this because he is afraid that the pork will lose its flavor?

I didn’t follow Lao Fan back to the rolling mill, and I knew with my own feet that one of the three three-wheelers would definitely go, and it should be the one with the most ice.

I called Lao Liu and asked him to come, and re-arranged the delivery time, which was set at five to six in the morning.

Chen Jisheng added something else. As long as the porcelain was made before the Qing Dynasty and is now used for export, it does not count as imitations. Others, regardless of whether they are genuine or fake, the shape of the porcelain, and the appropriate calligraphy and painting are acceptable.

This put Lao Liu in a bit of a dilemma. Unlike old furniture, porcelain calligraphy and painting are valued at half, and the current valuation is not low. One or three rounds of porcelain calligraphy and painting may not be worth more than a hundred cars of furniture.

It was troublesome to get too many supplies in exchange, and his private channels couldn't bear it.

After listening to Old Liu's troubles, Chen Jisheng made him smile with just a tap. Trust stores are not only found in the [-] cities, but not all over the country, but only in a radius of [-] kilometers nearby. Isn't digesting this small amount of supplies just like playing?
The two of them confirmed the method of reconciliation. Chen Jisheng could not stay in the yard all the time, so he had to go to Beixinqiao Trust Store to reconcile the accounts.

After the card was corrected for Lao Liu, Chen Jisheng rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill again. On the way, he calculated the riding time in the past two days.

It seems that morning exercise is no longer necessary. At least one hour of cycling a day, and a little more running, it will take more than two hours. This is the best exercise.

When he arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, he showed his work permit. The guard looked at him with a very friendly and enthusiastic look, almost like looking at his father, which made Chen Jisheng a little confused.

When he arrived at the logistics building, when he met familiar people, regardless of their position, they all greeted him first. This sudden enthusiasm reminded Chen Jisheng of the expression on the doorman's face just now.

With something on his mind, when Lao Song was not there, Chen Jisheng pushed the door open and entered the unit chief's office. Sun Meilan was writing something at the desk.

When I walked to the desk and looked down, I saw that the terrain was good and I don't know how long it was. Both Widow Qin and Sun Meilan were fair from top to bottom, but the eldest sister had big hands and a wheat-colored face.

Still influenced by the Soviet-style heavy industry, the light industry was not systematic. Sun Meilan only wore a light-colored low-collar sleeveless shirt, which she probably made herself, as it had some rough edges.

Looking at the native beauty, Chen Jisheng did nothing. When Sun Meilan looked up, he found that there were a lot of red threads in her eyes. She had either cried or stayed up late.

"Sister Sun, why are people outside so enthusiastic?" Chen Jisheng's question attracted a charming eye roll. Sun Meilan didn't say anything for now, but took out a pair of cloth shoes from the drawer.

"It's not because of you, you demoted Zhang Hai yesterday, and got pork today, and now you are more prestigious than the factory manager in the factory.

do you know?There has been no meat and vegetables in the factory for two months. I only have the meat coupons in the hands of the people below. If I want to eat meat and vegetables at home, how many months can I save them?
The cloth shoes I made for you last night are good for your feet, but your hard-soled shoes will damage your feet. "

Chen Jisheng held the old cloth shoes with starched uppers. Sun Meilan's workmanship was good. The soles were not only thick, but the stitching was also very fine. The cloth shoes were neatly made, which was much more pleasing to the eye than the finished products from the supply and marketing cooperative.

After putting on Shona's thousand-layer cloth shoes, the soles of her feet were much more comfortable. Listening to Sun Meilan talking about things in the factory, Chen Jisheng probably knew the reason.

It's just the momentum created by Lao Fan's return, and there should be Li Huaide's hands and feet in it, otherwise the braised pork would only charge half of the meat ticket. Lao Fan's short-sighted product would not be so inviting.

"The shoes are nice and the person is nice. Does Widow Qin in the workshop know? Arrange a lighter job for her."

Hearing Chen Jisheng's praise, Sun Meilan blushed. This friend, since the last time she teased her, has never slept well at night, and it was still the same last night.

She had no choice but to make shoes to relieve her boredom. Fortunately, her friend's feet were about the same size as those of the dead ghost at home, so she found a pair that was almost suitable, otherwise she would have worn out the soles overnight.

Hearing Widow Qin, Sun Meilan's face only turned slightly pale, but soon returned to rosy, or else she was an enemy.

"Then Widow Qin is entangled with many people in the factory. Is it clean?"

When the deputy section chief implemented it, it was all a trivial matter, not mentioning work but only stepping on Widow Qin. Sun Meilan felt that she was younger and more beautiful than Widow Qin, and she had never given birth to a child, so she couldn't beat her?
"Just do it if you are asked to do it, don't talk nonsense! Show me Corey's material allocation list."

Unlike Widow Qin who came from the countryside and worked at the grassroots level, Sun Meilan was a serious and well-founded member of the department. She was able to manage purchases and was naturally indispensable for her scheming skills.

Chen Jisheng clicked on her, but he still wanted her to look back. He was playing with feelings and giving away shoes, fearing that she would not be able to get out if she got stuck in, and would harm others and herself.

It doesn't matter to Chen Jisheng whether he eats this bite or not. It harms people for half his life. It's not that the hostility cannot be tolerated.

"I know, it's just you!"

Seeing that Sun Meilan was more or less on the right track, Chen Jisheng didn't say much. He took a supply list and took the 850 yuan of pork. He left the rolling mill on his bicycle without further entanglement with Sun Meilan.

We have business to do tomorrow, so we need to decide on the venue first. Chen Jisheng estimated that there will be many people tomorrow, so he thought of going to Lao Mo to have a look first, so as not to rush into people he shouldn't and seek death.

After exiting the gate of the steel rolling mill, Chen Jisheng was about to head towards the exhibition hall, but after thinking about it, he changed his route and headed towards the general rear.

Now is not the future, when rich restaurants and hotels everywhere treat you as your grandfather. Now it is the other way around, he is your grandfather.

Going to a restaurant not only requires a ticket, but also a number. There is only so much food available in a day. Once the number is assigned, it will be closed. If you encounter someone with a bad taste, you may be beaten by a group of waiters and chefs.

Nowadays, if you go to a restaurant and the waiter thinks you are ugly and refuses to take your order, if you admit it, leave immediately, otherwise the beating will be light.

As for the current Chen Jisheng, at most he won't suffer any loss in a fight. If he wants to be an uncle, he has no way to do it. In terms of being able to control him, he has to be like the eldest sister Gu Yizhou.

It didn't feel like a long journey by car. Chen Jisheng rode for more than 40 minutes from the steel rolling mill to the general logistics department. When he arrived, it was already dinner time.

It was no use mentioning Gu Yizhou at the gate. Chen Jisheng simply asked the guard to look at him. If he continued to pester him, he would probably have to point a gun at him.

Unable to lift Lao Zhong, the guard went to call. He waited for more than ten minutes before he saw Lao Zhong still chewing rice.

"Boy, is the watch here?"

Lao Zhong was always unwilling to pick up the pot. Chen Jisheng was still thinking of relying on his military watch to run away. But there was no way to give it to him now. When it came to follow-up plans, he couldn't give in at all.

"No, I'm here to see Sister Gu Yizhou, but the gate guard won't let me in."

Chen Jisheng spread his hands. Because Lao Zhong was a bit bullying, he didn't say hello and just told him the purpose of coming.

"Let's go! Are you waiting for someone to come see you?"

Most of today's leaders are approachable. According to Lao Zhong's level, there will always be guards or something like that, but they just come out to pick you up in person.

The eldest sister is different, with a low position and a big background, in this courtyard, Lao Zhong dare not easily order her around, let alone come out to meet the young man.
