This is the first time that grain has been collected from the town mayor's doorstep.
The backstory of this Peach Blossom Town system is quite melodramatic! To escape war, our ancestors closed off the roads and became self-sufficient, eventually turning it into a paradise.
As soon as the truck stopped, Wang Lin opened the door and got out, his mind filled with a lot of information about the town.
Town Mayor Wang Yuan greeted Wang Lin with exceptional warmth, giving him a direct and enthusiastic hug: "Wang Lin!"
"Mayor." Wang Lin also hugged Wang Yuan. It was all an act, just for show.
"You must be tired from your journey. Please come in." Wang Yuan led them into his home.
To be honest, Wang Yuan's family seems quite well-off, with a big red brick house, a spacious yard, and a country dog to guard the house.
Wang Yuan instructed the village chief and several village officials to properly entertain Wang Lin and his entourage.
Zhao Dayong and the others were seated in a warm house, and they looked around like curious children.
The things inside were too mysterious for them.
Have you ever seen cured meat hanging at the door of every house?
Have you ever seen every household piled up with hundreds of kilograms of grain?
And those corn kernels drying in the yard, even two truckloads wouldn't be enough to carry them all.
Grain seems to be very common here; every household has surplus grain, and no one is lacking food, making them appear very wealthy.
Li Tang was truly amazed. Only when the dishes were served did he realize that Wang Lin hadn't been exaggerating! The so-called "hard dish" was simply a plate full of meat!
So arrogant!
The food served to them consisted entirely of meat! There was even a roast suckling pig!
The restaurant had chicken, duck, beef, and lamb—it was like a dream! The burly men were dumbfounded, as if they were in a dream!
After all, they had only ever seen such a grand scene in their dreams; it was too unreal!
As the mayor of this small town, Wang Yuan's words carry considerable weight, as they determine whether grain can be collected from their town in the future. To curry favor with him, Li Tang showered him with flattery and compliments.
Although the entire town is 100% loyal to Wang Lin, it's best to keep a low profile in the early stages, put on a show, establish a long-term supply relationship with the town, and ensure that the factory's supplies are met.
That night, Li Tang ate until he was stuffed. For the first time, he felt that eating too much meat made him feel greasy!

Zhao Dayong, Zhou Guohua, and others ate way too much meat! They felt this was the most satisfying meat they had ever eaten in their lives.
After settling these people down for the night, Wang Lin held two meetings with Wang Yuan and the town's officials to discuss future supplies.
The town that the system manifested not only had a population, but also a large amount of monetizable resources.
Wang Lin first used his personal spiritual realm to replenish the town's granary with a large amount of grain, and then hauled away two truckloads tomorrow.
The next day, after Zhao Dayong and the others regained their senses, they were still in a daze.
The food they ate last night was so fantastical that they wondered if they were having a beautiful dream while drunk.
When lunchtime came, one fragrant meat dish after another was served, and they were certain they weren't dreaming! They really ate until they were stuffed.
Looking at the delicious meat dishes, Li Tang drooled and said to the Zhang brothers, Zhang Long and Zhang Hu, beside him, "You two must have done something really good in your past lives to be able to know a guy like Wang Lin!"
Zhang Long stared at the large pig's trotter, clenching his fists. If he could just grab it and start gnawing on it, he would definitely do so.
Zhang Hu was much calmer, though his eyes were fixed on the stewed beef.
Wang Yuan raised his glass and said, "Welcome to our Taoyuan Town. From now on, our town and your factory will have a cooperative relationship."
These statements were discussed and agreed upon in a meeting long ago. As the middleman between the town and the factory, Wang Lin wielded immense power. It is no exaggeration to say that if these two truckloads of grain were brought back, the factory director would personally commend Wang Lin and even make an exception to promote him to a higher rank and salary as a purchasing agent.
After a good meal and drinks, the grain was loaded onto the truck.
In the early afternoon, Wang Lin and the others embarked on their journey back.
"Brother Yong! Have you ever eaten this much meat in your life?"
"I've eaten! I ate so much last night and at noon today that I'm stuffed! Even my burps taste like meat!"
"Hahaha! This mayor is too arrogant! I've never seen such an arrogant mayor before!"
“This town truly lives up to its reputation as a paradise! When we left, did you see people herding hundreds or even thousands of cattle and sheep grazing? It seems there was more than one household doing this.”
"I saw it. I heard there are even factories that raise chickens and ducks. No wonder everyone in this town has plenty of meat and their faces are all shiny with oil. I really envy them for being able to live in this place."
On the bus, reminiscing about the meat they ate for lunch became a hot topic of conversation.
Wang Lin sat calmly in the car. Now that the supplies had a source and origin, there would definitely be people who would be envious and want to steal this cooperation from Wang Lin. He needed another identity that people would be wary of to protect himself and his family!
The system-arranged high-ranking official's maternal grandfather, who is supposed to be a cheapskate, is still nowhere to be found!
For now, Wang Lin can only focus on stabilizing the development of the beasts and doesn't need to send supplies to the factory too frequently. Before this supply runs out, Wang Lin plans to rest at home, supervise and tutor the two divine beasts, and train Chen Amao!
Chapter 67 Qin Huairu comes to borrow meat
The return journey was much smoother, and the weather was better.
As Zhao Dayong drove, the thought of getting food from the cafeteria to take home made him feel much better.
The food supply in the factory canteen is almost gone, and those who bring their own meals home can no longer do so, so how can they sleep soundly at night?
Driven by their eagerness to return home, the journey was shortened by almost half again.
When the two trucks, fully loaded, entered the Third Steel Rolling Mill, they not only aroused discussion among the factory workers, but also attracted the attention of the factory leaders.
Led by Liu Zhengdao from the purchasing department, Factory Director Yang, Deputy Factory Director Li, and other cadres and leaders quickly found Wang Lin, the hero of this material procurement trip.
Wang Lin looked at Director Yang and Deputy Director Li, shook hands with them with a smile on his face, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, as if he had seen such grand occasions many times before.
"Your name is Wang Lin! Well done, no wonder you're our factory's purchasing agent."
Factory Director Yang looked at Wang Lin, a handsome young man who, at only eighteen years old, had accomplished such a remarkable feat, bringing in two whole truckloads of supplies and grain. This had indeed solved the factory's urgent problem.
"As a member of the factory, it's only natural that I should contribute to the factory; it's what I should do." Wang Lin wasn't particularly proud; he appeared very humble.
"Xiao Lin! The factory will recognize your great contribution this time! You'll be promoted to team leader in the purchasing department, and your salary will increase." Li Huaide rewarded Wang Lin with tangible benefits, unlike Factory Director Yang who only offered verbal praise.
"Thank you, Director Li." Wang Lin didn't care much about the promotion and raise.
Besides Wang Lin, there were other people who were credited with this. Naturally, Director Yang and Li Huaide couldn't just focus on Wang Lin alone, but since Wang Lin was the main core, he certainly received special treatment.
Wang Lin brought back so many supplies this time, in addition to some material rewards from the factory, there was also a factory-wide commendation.
In the factory's broadcasting room, Yu Haitang was organizing the content for today's broadcast.
The letter of commendation was personally approved by Director Yang and other leaders.
This is the highest honor in the factory.
After seeing the contents of the commendation letter first, Yu Haitang clenched her fists excitedly. She knew that Wang Lin would definitely succeed. The letter was about commending Wang Lin, and as Wang Lin's admirer, being able to read the commendation letter on behalf of the factory leaders to express gratitude to Wang Lin was such a happy and romantic thing.
"Attention, fellow workers!"
"Wang Lin from the Purchasing Department will now be publicly commended throughout the factory!"
Yu Haitang's sweet voice was playing over the loudspeakers throughout the factory.
Xu Damao was fiddling with the projector in the projection department. He listened to Yu Haitang's sweet voice in the broadcast room, but after hearing the factory's commendation of Wang Lin, he became unhappy. He lost his mood for cleaning the machine and sat in his chair with his legs crossed, muttering, "What kind of luck did Wang Lin have! I wonder which remote town he swindled so many supplies from."
Some are happy and some are sad.
In the workshop, after hearing the broadcast, Qin Huairu decided to try and take advantage of Wang Lin again.
If Wang Lin could bring so many supplies to the factory, it means he had even more supplies on his own.
"The bold get rich, the timid starve," Qin Huairu decided to go to the tiger's den again tonight. She refused to believe that Wang Lin was truly a miser who wouldn't part with a single penny.
When Yi Zhonghai, the old man without a family, heard Wang Lin on the radio, he thought it was just someone with the same name. It wasn't until the purchasing department was mentioned that he suddenly realized that this was Wang Lin, the orphan from their compound.
In another workshop, Liu Haizhong's expression turned very unpleasant upon hearing the announcement.
Wang Lin was commended by the entire factory after only a few days at the factory. If he were allowed to stay longer and build up his network, it would seem unlikely that it would be possible to secretly get rid of him.
In the canteen, when He Yuzhu heard Wang Lin's commendation, his head was spinning. He absolutely refused to believe that the person being commended in the factory was Wang Lin from their backyard.
More and more factory workers remembered the name Wang Lin, the purchasing agent who could bring them food.
As for Wang Lin himself, he had already returned to the courtyard.
He felt like he hadn't rested well after several days of traveling by car. The first thing he did when he got home was to cook a nice meal, eat his fill, and then get a good night's sleep.
Fang Yue has tidied up Wang Lin's house quite well these past few days; it's spotless inside and out.
Inside the house, Wang Lin added honeycomb briquettes to the stove and started boiling water to wash vegetables.
Washing vegetables in cold water in this weather is truly icy cold unless you have enough courage.
Tonight's dinner is stewed beef with potatoes. Wang Lin has his own special seasoning packet, so his stewed beef with potatoes is definitely the best.
Fang Yue was in charge of teaching the two mythical beasts, Chen Amao studied by himself, and Wang Lin was busy preparing dinner.
Everyone was busy with their own things; it was quiet and warm.
Once the meal was ready, Wang Lin naturally wanted to offer some nice gifts to thank Fang Yue and Chen Amao.
Fang Yue received a women's watch, a Shanghai brand, as a reward from Wang Lin's daily check-in system.
Chen Amao was wearing an electronic watch, the cheap kind with black and white electronic hands.
With watches, they can tell the time, which makes many things easier.
"Come on, baby, Beibei, let your brother put some meat on your plate!"
Wang Lin opened the pressure cooker and poured the fragrant stewed beef and potatoes into a large bowl.
"Thank you, Guoguo."
The two little ones, soft and cuddly, pushed the bowl over.
Wang Lin put a piece of beef and a piece of potato on each of their plates.
"Wang Lin! It's all thanks to your cooking that we can have such delicious food!"
Fang Yue smelled the delicious aroma of braised beef brisket with potatoes and couldn't resist starting to eat.
"Yes, yes, yes! Brother Wang Lin, your cooking is simply divine!" Chen Amao mumbled as he gnawed on a large piece of beef, his face filled with ecstasy.
"If it's delicious, then eat more." Wang Lin wouldn't skimp on himself, picking up a large bone and starting to gnaw on it.
