Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 60: Jealousy makes people ugly

At the steel factory gate, Xiao Shutie saw that Zhao Mancang actually walked to work today, and asked curiously:
"Mancang, where's your bicycle?"

"I left it at the factory yesterday and I didn't ride it back."

"What? Brother Mancang, you have a bicycle but you don't ride it and you want to walk home?" Fan Tong widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Mancang as if he was a fool.

The latter's face was full of black lines, with a look of concern for mentally retarded children:

"Didn't you all see me go out in Director Yang's car yesterday afternoon? Did you see me come back later?"

After glaring at Xiao Shutie and the others, Zhao Mancang walked into the factory without looking back.

It's the morning shift rush hour, and being stuck at the factory gate is not a good thing.

In the breeding room, Xu Fugui was complaining to Wu Huamin that the workload was too heavy and hoped to hire an extra temporary worker.

Wu Huamin was too embarrassed to point out Xu Fugui's little thoughts, because recently Zhao Mancang became a level six breeder, one level higher than Xu Fugui.

In addition, Zhao Mancang is highly valued by his superiors and has to go on business trips every few days.

As a result, many of the tasks that originally belonged to Zhao Mancang were now placed on Xu Fugui's shoulders.

Before, Xu Fugui would go to work with his legs crossed and rarely did any work.

With so many burdens suddenly added to his burdens for several days in a row, of course he couldn't bear it anymore.

If he has to do so much hard work every day in the future, then wouldn't his identity as a level five breeder be completely useless?

After all, his current job is almost the same as that of Peng Sixi, Zhang Debao, Zheng Damao and others.

There are quite a lot of livestock in the entire breeding room. Cows, horses, and donkeys are the key ones and cannot be neglected because they are responsible for part of the transportation tasks of the steel plant.

There is also the source of meat for steel mills, such as fat pigs, which also cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, there is work everywhere and nothing is easy.

"Old Xu, you also know that our steel plant is not doing well this year..."

Wu Huamin was just about to do some ideological work on Xu Fugui when Zhao Mancang happened to arrive. His eyes suddenly lit up and he waved at the latter, saying,

"Mancang is here, come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

Xu Fugui was not in a good mood, but at this time he could only stand aside and listen patiently.

I wonder if Wu Huamin will ask Zhao Mancang to help share some of the work?

After all, those jobs originally belonged to Zhao Mancang!
"Director, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhao Mancang walked forward curiously, although he was not very clear about what Wu Huamin and Xu Fugui had just talked about.

But he guessed it had something to do with work?
As expected, Wu Huamin asked Zhao Mancang if he could share some of the work as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mancang, we've had a lot more work in the breeding room lately. Can you help share some of the workload? Hey, did you drink last night? You smell so strongly of alcohol?"

Not only Wu Huamin smelled the alcohol, Xu Fugui also frowned and was curious: Where was Zhao Mancang doing yesterday? Why did he drink so much?
Yesterday was not a day off, and even if Zhao Mancang has been highly valued by his superiors recently, he shouldn't drink on a weekday, and drink so much?

Besides, this wine is good stuff. Normally, Wu Huamin and Xu Fugui would just taste it briefly. It would be great if they could drink it once or twice a month.

"Yes, I did drink last night. Sorry, Director, I didn't know the smell of alcohol was so strong."

Zhao Mancang seems to be complaining, but in fact he is pretending:
"Last night, we had four bottles of Wangjinlou brand Four Special Liquor and two bottles of Fenjiu. There were only six of us, and each person weighed over a pound."

Si Te Liquor is a famous liquor in Gan Province in the south of the Yangtze River. In 1952, a winery was established in Zhangshu City, Gan Province.

As a special-flavor liquor in the shape of a long, narrow beer bottle, the bottle has a capacity of 550 milliliters. If you pack four bottles, that's 2,200 milliliters, nearly 4.5 kilograms of liquor. As for Fenjiu, there's no need to say much. The price of three yuan a bottle is enough to explain its status.

In an era when Jingzhi Laobai Gan, which costs one yuan and one cent per bottle, is considered a relatively high-end store-bought liquor, Fenjiu, which costs three yuan per bottle, is definitely a symbol of quality and store-bought liquor.

The bottle of Fenjiu holds 750 milliliters, which is one and a half kilograms of wine.

In the 1950s, the bottles of most liquors, including Moutai, were not standardized and changed frequently.

Moutai has even launched bottles of different sizes, including 753 ml, 540 ml, 270 ml, and 375 ml.

So, when Zhao Mancang said this, Wu Huamin and Xu Fugui's eyes suddenly widened and their breathing became much faster.

What a luxury!

That's six bottles of wine.

Although Zhangshu wine is of special aroma type and Fenjiu is of light aroma type, they are both liquors.

No matter what flavor it is, as long as it is white wine, no matter whether it is Wu Huamin or Xu Fugui, they will not pick it, nor are they qualified to pick it.

Jealousy makes people ugly!

At this time, Xu Fugui and Wu Huamin's faces were extremely ugly, almost to the point of being torn apart.

"Mancang, who were you drinking with last night?"

Wu Huamin swallowed enviously, "Why didn't you call me?"

Xu Fugui, standing nearby, also looked at Zhao Mancang eagerly, as if he also wanted to ask: "What about me? Why didn't you call me?"
But when he thought about his ordinary relationship with Zhao Mancang, he couldn't open his mouth to speak.

"Director, it was Director Yang who took me out yesterday afternoon. Have you forgotten?"

Zhao Mancang spread his hands and said helplessly:
"My bike is still here. I didn't come back to the factory after I left yesterday afternoon. I thought you knew."

"Oh, I think Director Yang might call me again. Director, I'm going to go get busy with my work first, lest I can't finish it later and cause trouble."

After he said this, Wu Huamin quickly stopped him and gave Xu Fugui a look.

The latter shuddered and moved his legs reluctantly.

As the saying goes, a higher-ranking official can crush a lower-ranking official. Wu Huamin is the director of the breeding room, and he is the highest-ranking leader in this department. Even Xu Fugui dare not openly oppose his orders.

"Mancang, let me go."

Xu Fugui forced a smile and turned back to work.

At this time, Zhao Mancang said insincerely: I'm so sorry!

Then, without waiting for Xu Fugui to speak, Zhao Mancang continued: Brother Fugui, thank you for your help.

After hearing this, Xu Fugui almost vomited blood.

Originally, Zhao Mancang's words gave Xu Fugui the opportunity to strike while the snake was still under attack, but unexpectedly, the former did not abide by the ethics of martial arts and added another sentence, directly blocking Xu Fugui's retreat.

Fuck him, damn it!

Xu Fugui couldn't help but think of the swear word that Peng Sixi often said, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
