My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 64: Li Feng's luxurious lunch at full firepower output, county officials are surprised
"Comrade Li Feng, don't mind it. She treats everyone she sees like a criminal."

"It's okay. Comrade Shengnan is also working and serving the people. As comrades, we all have the obligation to cooperate."

Li Feng thought to himself that he was not only a speculator, but also a leader. Fortunately, the young man did not come this time. Alas, he was afraid that the young man would not be able to come again in the future. At least he should wait until the end of the year when the pressure eased.

"Ever been to school?"

"No."

Wu Xiaofeng said with a smile, "Comrade Li Feng is a people's writer. The county even specifically mentioned Comrade Li Feng at the autumn commendation ceremony scheduled a few days ago."

Wu Shengnan was quite surprised. She never thought that this person was a writer. Nowadays, writers have such high value.

"Not really."

Li Feng waved his hand. "It's just that I occasionally write down some thoughts and ideas after work. I can't be considered a people's writer. Comrade Xiaofeng, you're praising me too much."

"Don't be so modest."

Wu Xiaofeng said, "I received your letter early this morning from the publishing house. I was planning to go to Hanjiaba at noon, but this is such a coincidence."

"Really."

Li Feng muttered to himself, "It's not natural for Poetry Magazine to respond so quickly. It's like a sow giving birth." He wondered if it was okay. He wondered if it had been rejected so quickly. Li Feng was actually a little worried.

Arriving at the post office, Wu Xiaofeng handed the letter from the publisher to Li Feng. "What's going on? I didn't see the manuscript returned. I opened the letter." "We need to review it. We'll invite experts and breeding specialists from the Provincial Agricultural Technology Institute to participate in the review."

The most important thing is that people want to invite Li Feng to come over for exchanges and learning. Li Feng was a little panicked. Damn, how could he raise pigs? This article was given to him by the system. Now he was kind of finished. Why did this happen?

"System task, sow caregiver experience task completion rate 50%"

I went to the system and you were so quick to compensate me. How could the sow caregiver have even completed more than half of the task? Li Feng was a little confused; he had never raised sows before. "Theoretical knowledge counts, yes, you're quite good, but this was a system bug, so this isn't enough compensation."

After some bargaining, the system pardoned two of the first four tasks: planting vegetables and tamping the soil. Finally, a settlement was reached. "Sow caretaker is probably not an easy task. Otherwise, the system wouldn't have pardoned two experience tasks at once."

"Comrade Li Feng, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Li Feng thought that the book on postpartum care for sows must not be leaked. It was too damn embarrassing. If he told others about it, he didn't know what the women would think of him.

"It's okay."

Wu Xiaofeng took out a stack of food coupons, non-staple food coupons, meat coupons, and wine coupons and handed them to Li Feng.

"This is?"

"My colleague gave it to me to use for spreading vanishing cream and soap," Wu Xiaofeng said with a smile. "Bring a copy back later. Take this ticket first."

"This is not good."

"It's okay. My colleague has plenty of tickets. You can use them first. The stuff can be delivered in the next couple of days."

After Wu Xiaofeng said this, Li Feng no longer refused. Of course, he asked what this colleague's family did and why he had so many tickets.

"His partner is a projectionist at the County Cultural Institute."

Goodness, no wonder projectionists never lack tickets. It's a popular job, and usually any company that invites them to show movies has to give them some benefits, so there's no shortage of tickets. "Then I'll bring them over tomorrow morning."

"I'll go to Hanjiaba later and bring it to you."

When Wu Shengnan said this, Li Feng was shocked. Why did Wu Shengnan go to Hanjiaba for no reason? Maybe someone had filed a complaint against her. Li Feng felt a little uneasy.

"Shengnan, are you going to Hanjiaba for something?" Wu Xiaofeng asked in confusion.

"This time, the county sent me to Maya Commune to preach the dangers of speculation. I plan to choose Hanjiaba as my first stop." Wu Shengnan glanced at Li Feng. She always felt that there was something wrong with this man, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Let’s go to Hanjiaba first to understand the situation.

"That's perfect. You can give Li Feng a ride."

Li Feng looked at Wu Shengnan. It was a bit awkward for a girl like her to give him a ride on a bicycle.

"Will this be too much trouble for Comrade Shengnan?"

Li Feng muttered to himself, this is a female police officer, she might have a gun in her pocket, it’s better to stay away from her.

"You're welcome, Comrade Li Feng."

A smile appeared on Wu Shengnan's lips. She found that Li Feng seemed to be somewhat repulsed by her. Could it be that there was really something wrong with this man?

"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Shengnan."

Really? Li Feng thought to himself, what should I do? Fortunately, Xiao Ge, Wu Tong, Qin Yue and the others have left. Gao Ju and Gao Cheng are also not here now. After all, there is no evidence. It is difficult to accuse me of speculation. After leaving the post office, Li Feng told Wu Shengnan that he was going to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After getting so many tickets, I must buy some side dishes. Forget about the meat, I have some big meat bones today, so I will buy a bottle of wine. I finally got the tickets for a bottle of wine, which is not easy.

"I send you."

"No, no, just wait here for a moment, I'll come over after I finish shopping."

I went to the three-wheeled motorcycle. Wow, this is too good to be true. It's not just an ordinary police officer. Are you kidding me? Did Wu Xiaofeng let something slip? Actually, nothing was left out. It's just that Wu Shengnan's father is the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee and the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Just now, Wu Shengnan came to preach the crackdown on speculation and profiteering, and the bureau specially approved a three-wheeled motorcycle for Wu Shengnan to use, and also approved a lot of oil.

With the three-wheeled motorcycle, Li Feng was no longer polite.

Who is so stupid as to not take a motorcycle and rush to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy wine, non-staple food, rice and flour, and many other things. Wu Shengnan glanced at the rice, flour, non-staple food and wine in the truck bed.

"Comrade Shengnan, you can go now."

Wu Shengnan nodded, and the three-wheeled motorcycle started and turned into the dirt road of Hanjiaba. The road was bumpy. Fortunately, Li Feng was prepared and just put the cloth bag with rice under his butt.

Not to mention the good shock absorption effect, Comrade Wu Shengnan next to him probably seldom drives on this kind of bumpy dirt road, his face flushed, and his hands were tense as he held the motorcycle.

"Don't tell me, looking at it from the side, Comrade Shengnan has a really nice figure."

She was about 1.65 meters tall, definitely tall for those days, and she was young, beautiful, and a police officer. "What am I thinking? I'm married. It's all Uncle Fuguo and the others' fault, constantly nagging me about getting married." That's right, it must be Uncle Fuguo and Uncle Futian's fault. It didn't matter if she followed me. I loved Zhaoxia dearly, and even though she was focused on their children, I couldn't do anything worse than that.

Wu Shengnan frowned slightly. Why did this man look at her like that? He kept glancing at her butt and her chest. If she wasn't riding a bike, Wu Shengnan really wanted to give this lecher a couple of slaps.

"Ouch."

Li Feng almost fell out of the truck bed. There was such a big pothole. What's wrong with this girl? She was riding well just now. Li Feng rubbed his butt and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'll help watch the road." Wu Shengnan snorted and threw her out of the truck bed.

"Tu tu tu tu."

The members of the Hanjiaba commune who were working all looked up at the noise. "Motorcycle?"

"Are the commune cadres coming to the countryside?"

"Hurry up and call Uncle Fuguo, the cadres are coming."

As he spoke, the three-wheeled motorcycle had already arrived at Li Feng's door. "Thank you, Comrade Shengnan, would you like to get off for a drink?"

"No."

"This girl is quite aloof."

Li Feng grumbled and looked at his watch. It was really fast. It wasn't even eight o'clock yet. When he entered the door, he saw someone shouting, "Sister-in-law, Antun, Anchun has done a lot of work. Don't come over until after six o'clock."

Just as Li Feng thought, he called his sister-in-law and Antun early in the morning, and Anchun came to work.

Not only do they pay me 80 cents a day, but they also provide me with meals, and the food is so good. It would be a shame if I didn't work hard. So I finished my meal at a little after six o'clock and rushed over to make mud bricks.

"Shout out to sister-in-law, Antun, Anchun, you've worked hard."

"What are you talking about?"

The others continued to work. Li Feng went into the house to put away the groceries and sort the meat bones. Not to mention that there was more than half of the meat, the toffee hadn't been wasted. He would cut some of the fat and make some oil, and keep some for stir-frying meat and stewing winter melon with the large bones.

"Ouch, I almost forgot."

If you can only eat one piece of meat today, then stew the meat bones and winter melon, and stir-fry some pickled vegetables and tofu. A simple dish and soup is not too much. If you have rice as the staple food, then make sorghum rice and multi-grain rice, and put more rice.

After finishing the cleaning, Li Feng boiled a pot of tea and brought it out. "Everyone, come have some tea and take a break before we continue working."

"I don't want to drink it."

Wow, this guy is too honest. Li Feng felt embarrassed to just stand there. Besides, he wanted to learn how to make earthen bricks, so he decided to join in.

"Dong dong dong."

"Uncle Fuguo?"

Li Feng wiped his hands, opened the door, and asked Han Fuguo, Han Futian, and Wu Shengnan what was going on. "Come in and sit down."

"Is the adobe bricks about the same?"

"We can finish it today."

After two days of drying, it can be put up on the wall. Once the wall is built, add some rammed earth to raise the courtyard wall. "Have some tea."

Wu Shengnan was a little surprised to see the glass and the tea. It seemed that Li Feng was living a pretty good life. She looked around the room. There were not many furnitures but it was quite clean. Many of the items on the table were Shanghai brands.

This must be the vanishing cream that Xiaofeng mentioned, Wu Shengnan wondered in her heart. If it was really so useful, she would be tempted. But no, she came here to work. Although sharing some things privately is not a big deal, she is a public security officer and she cannot knowingly commit a crime.

"Uncle Fuguo, Uncle Tomita, Comrade Katsuo, is there something wrong?"

Li Feng poured tea and greeted them, feeling puzzled.

"Nothing, just to understand the situation."

It turned out to be Gao Jiu and Gao Cheng. Li Feng introduced them to each other, but he didn't know whether Wu Shengnan believed them or not. After understanding the situation, Han Futian called Li Feng to the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Uncle Tomita?"

Han Futian glanced at the large bones and meat on the kitchen stove. "I knew you had something at home. Comrade Wu Shengnan arrived so suddenly, and the team has nothing to eat. I've discussed this with your Uncle Fuguo, and we're having lunch at your place."

"what."

Li Feng was a little confused. It wasn't Uncle Futian or Uncle Fuguo. It was nothing to have a meal, but the brigade entertained him at home. How could this sound a bit awkward? "What are you talking about? Are you afraid that we won't pay for the meal?"

"That's ridiculous."

"If this were normal, I would be eager for you to come over for dinner."

But now the brigade is entertaining commune cadres, and we have to eat this meal at home. If we tell others about it, it will cause trouble in the future.

"Do not worry."

Han Futian saw through Li Feng's thoughts. "I've already agreed with you, Fuguo, that each person will receive 50 cents for food. Just follow this arrangement."

"alright."

It would be easy if I paid. Li Feng thought to himself that it didn't matter if he lost some money. He also had some wine and drinks. He would stew the big bones first, then have some stir-fried meat, pickled vegetable and tofu soup, stir-fried vegetables with lard, and fried eggs with leeks.

Add more rice to the multi-grain rice, and it will basically be cooked rice. When the meal is served, it is fragrant and paired with a bottle of good Xinghua Village wine. Wow, Han Guofu's eyes are wide open, this kid is really amazing.

Large bones, stir-fried meat, a pot of mixed fish, a fried egg, pickled vegetables and tofu, stir-fried vegetables with lard, rice, and apricot wine. "Comrade Shengnan, there's not much to eat, just a bite."

Wu Shengnan swallowed her saliva. Although her family was well off, her family was very strict. They only ate meat once every two or three days for their usual home-cooked meals. She probably only had meat during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

"what is this?"

"drinks."

Li Feng said, "We're surrounded by lesbians, so it's not good to just drink. Let's have some drinks."

It was made with orange juice. Li Feng just drank two sips. Regardless of whether there were any additives, the taste was really good.
