Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

But the situation has been different in the past two years. Normally, the workers can’t even get enough to eat, so where would they get any extra food for free meals?

Although Yang Chong had promised that he could supply the canteen with two big fat wild boars during the Spring Festival, meat was not enough to fill people up. The most important thing was that there was no food.

"Huaide, I remember you have an acquaintance in the grain and oil company? Can you think of a way to ask him to help deliver a few tons of grain to the factory during the New Year so that the workers can have a full meal during the New Year. Otherwise, they won't be able to survive this year." Director Yang asked Deputy Director Li with a smile.

Deputy Director Li shook his head and said, "Director Yang, it's true that I have an acquaintance in the grain and oil company. He's my wife's uncle. In previous years, there was no problem finding him. He was brought in directly without any hindrance. But this year, the situation doesn't allow it. I called him yesterday, and he said that the people's lives are in trouble this year, so there is no surplus grain for you to hold a free banquet."

Then he sighed, "Alas, there is nothing I can do. If Zhou Chi had made the call, it might have been better. After all, he is his nephew, and his uncle likes him the most. But Zhou Chi is a stubborn guy. Since he failed to become the section chief last time, he has been absent-minded. He doesn't listen to me, his brother-in-law."

Director Yang's face looked a little ugly. How could he not hear that Li Huaide was warning him, taking revenge on him for giving the position of section chief to Hou Liqiu instead of his brother-in-law Zhou Chi?

Li Huaide must have a way to get some food, but he took this opportunity to deliberately make things difficult for himself just to vent his anger.

The reason why he promoted Hou Liqiu instead of Zhou Chi was to deliberately suppress Li Huaide's faction and did not want all these important positions to become his direct descendants.

Now that Li Huaide has done this, how should I respond?

When Director Yang was in a dilemma, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Before Director Yang finished speaking, the door opened and Hou Liqiu and Liu Laoben came in one after another.

Both of them looked happy.

"Deputy Director Li is here too? Director Yang, the food needed for the New Year's Eve dinner has been solved. This kid Yang Chong has a way to get flour and rice!" Hou Liqiu said excitedly.

Chapter 90: Eat Big White Buns and Big Meat Slices for Chinese New Year

"what?!"

Director Yang and Li Huaide spoke in unison and stood up at the same time, looking at Hou Liqiu in surprise.

However, although both of them were surprised, their expressions were somewhat different.

Director Yang is a surprise, an unexpected surprise that is revealed when one seems to have reached the end of his rope.

Li Huaide was shocked. He dared not imagine it, and was unwilling to believe it.

Hou Likui repeated excitedly: "Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, Yang Chong said he can get food, so we don't have to worry about food for the New Year's dinner!"

Director Yang quickly asked, "How much? How much did he say he could get? What kind of noodles?"

Liu Laoben, who was standing behind him, said quickly, "He said it was flour and rice, and he could probably get three to five tons."

"Flour? And rice? Three or five tons?!" Director Yang slammed the table excitedly, "Great! These three or five tons are all fine grains. That solves a big problem. Even if we don't have to exchange them for coarse grains, it's enough for the workers to have free meals at work."

After saying that, he did not forget to look at Li Huaide: "What do you think, Deputy Director Li?"

Li Huaide's face was filled with astonishment. He still couldn't believe it: "Are you sure? Can he really get three to five tons of fine grain? This matter must be confirmed. Don't take it lightly."

Hou Likui said: "I don't think he would brag, because since I have known him, I have never seen him break a promise. He has been in the factory for less than half a month, and he has already supplied five wild boars to our factory cafeteria. This is more than the three wild boars per month he promised me."

He added: "In addition, the wild rabbits, pheasants, and fish he delivers every day are definitely more than enough to complete the task."

"I'm also optimistic about this young man. He's capable of doing practical things and is not the type to brag." Director Yang said loudly with approval on his face, "Well, ask him when the grain can be brought back. You will be responsible for tracking it and make sure it is implemented!"

"Please rest assured, Director. I will make sure he implements it." Hou Likui made a loud promise, then smiled and said, "The two directors, Yang Chong has solved such a big problem for the factory. Shouldn't the factory consider rewarding him?"

"Reward, definitely reward!" Director Yang said excitedly, "Well, I suggest raising his salary level by one level, and giving him an extra bonus of 300 yuan!"

Li Huaide was stunned and said quickly: "Director Yang, didn't we just raise his salary by one level? If we raise it again, will others have any objections? Also, isn't this 300 yuan bonus too high?"

"High? I don't think it's high at all!" Director Yang said disdainfully, "With his contribution to the steel mill, I don't think it's too much to say 300, even 3,000 is not too much! Also, he just got a raise and can't get another one? I just want all the employees in the factory to know that as long as they work hard, contribute to the factory, and solve problems, the factory will promote talents regardless of their background!"

At this point, he remembered something: "Oh, right? I think we should propose to raise his administrative level, starting with deputy section chief!"

Li Huaide was stunned: "This, Director Yang, this is not in accordance with the procedure..."

Director Yang said, "I know this is against the procedure, so I plan to ask the Ministry for approval for his special contribution. I believe the Ministry will not object."

Li Huaide stopped talking, but was silently repeating the name in his heart.

Why is it this guy again, ruining my plans again and again!

So the next day, Yang Chong's truck drove into the steel mill again. When it arrived at the canteen, what was unloaded was no longer fat pigs, rabbits and pheasants, but bags of snow-white flour and rice.

The staff of the canteen were all grinning, and the workers who saw the scene were running around telling each other: "Did you know? The canteen just brought back a full truck of flour and rice. It looks like it weighs several tons."

"Are you kidding me? Flour? We can't even get cornmeal right now, so a truckload of flour? You're dreaming."

"What a dream! We saw it with our own eyes. The people in the cafeteria were unloading the truck. There was not only flour but also rice. Director Wang said that Yang Cai bought it and said it was for the factory banquet during the New Year. He also said that everyone was lucky this year because the banquet was free and all of it was white flour buns and rice, without even a bit of corn flour."

"Is this true? Why do I find this so unbelievable? We can't even eat steamed bread on normal days, but we are allowed to eat big white steamed buns during the Chinese New Year?"

"Don't believe it? Then go to the cafeteria and you'll know. Anyway, I'm waiting to eat white flour buns in the factory during the Chinese New Year this year."

"That sounds so mysterious. I want to go to the cafeteria to take a look too."

"Wait for me, I'll go take a look too!"

After a while, a large number of workshop workers gathered at the cafeteria. They all heard the news and came here to verify its authenticity.

And when they saw with their own eyes the bags of flour and rice piled up like mountains in the cafeteria, they were finally convinced that what they had heard was not a rumor but a real thing.

"Director Wang, are these flour and rice really used for the New Year banquet? Where did you get so much flour from?"

"Yes, do we really have to eat white steamed buns instead of steamed corn bread during the Chinese New Year?"

Wang Haibo's big face was as bright as a flower: "Of course it's true. Director Yang said that this year we will have big white steamed buns and big slices of meat for the New Year. He also said that he will have three free meals so that everyone can have a great New Year!"

"Director Wang, did you say that or did the factory director? How much food would it take to just eat the big white steamed buns? There are tens of thousands of people in our factory, and you're giving us three free meals? You must be kidding me!"

"Yes, that would require a lot of food. Don't just brag about it, or you won't be able to deliver when the time comes!"

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

Wang Haibo said disdainfully, "Boasting? There's so much food here, and you say I'm bragging? And Director Yang also said that there will be more than just this truckload of food coming back in the future. By then, won't the dozen tons of flour and rice piled here be enough for you to eat? Are you born in the Year of the Pig?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and their laughter was full of excitement.

At this time, someone shouted: "Director Yang is here, let's ask Director Yang and we will know everything."

Yes, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, Hou Liqiu, Liu Laoben and other middle-level cadres also came over.

Seeing so many excited workers gathered here, Director Yang was also very excited. He jumped onto a table and pressed it down with his hands, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Director Yang said excitedly: "As you can see, in order to let everyone have a satisfactory New Year, the factory has found a way to buy back a batch of food, all of which are flour and rice, all fine grains. This truck is just the vanguard, and there will be several more trucks to follow."

"Director Wang is right. These fine grains will not be exchanged for coarse grains. They will all be used directly to prepare for the free Spring Festival banquet at the factory. At the same time, the supply of pork is guaranteed. When the time comes, everyone can eat big white steamed buns, big rice, and big slices of meat. In a word, as long as everyone can eat, the factory can afford it!"

"However, there is one last thing everyone should remember. These flour and rice were purchased by our factory through special channels. So in order to prevent other factories from getting jealous and coming to share our food, everyone should learn to keep it secret, otherwise our food will be taken away by other factories."

"Can you do this?!"

"can!"

Chapter 91 Warming you up at night

Director Yang's words were full of confidence, and his confidence naturally came from the guarantee Yang Chong gave him.

Yang Chong's assurance naturally came from his shuttle skills and the material security provided by the Little Country.

Tons of food was an impossible task for others, but for Yang Chong, it was just a day trip to Xiao Ri Zi Country in just a few hours.

A few days before the New Year, he took the time to visit Xiaorizi Country several times. Wherever he went, the warehouses were empty. It was a pity for the grain and oil store owners in Xiaorizi Country. When they opened the warehouse doors in the morning, they found that the warehouses that were originally full had become empty.

It was simply despair.

All these bosses could do was call the police, but when the police arrived at the scene they were at a loss as they could not find any trace of the suspect.

The door of the warehouse was locked tightly, with no signs of prying or other damage from the outside, and the windows were intact. The police couldn't even figure out how the thieves got in and took away several tons or even dozens of tons of grain.

The police's first feeling after seeing the scene was that it was a case of embezzlement because there were no signs of outsiders entering or leaving the scene.

However, the same cases occurred one after another, and all the details were surprisingly consistent. Now it was the police's turn to doubt their own lives.

After racking their brains but unable to find any clues to solve the case, the police had only one solution, which was to stake out the crime scene. However, the criminals' crime locations were not fixed. Today they were in Hokkaido, tomorrow they were in Kyushu, and there were countless grain and oil stores across the country. The police had only a few police officers, so they were simply unable to take care of one thing while neglecting another.

What’s even more infuriating is that right where they were hiding, the criminals looted the grain and oil store without anyone noticing, right under their noses.

The policemen who were just making a living were helpless and the people launched a nationwide protest, forcing the Commissioner of National Police to resign. Even the King of Pop apologized to the people on the radio.

But what's the use of apologizing? Our country has fallen into an unprecedented panic.

And they could never have imagined that the "culprit" who caused all this was far away on the other side of the ocean, in the backyard of the cloth shop on Qianmen Street, calculating the payment for the last cloth with the beautiful proprietress.

Because the New Year is approaching, there are a lot of people buying cloth to make new clothes recently. In addition, the cloth Yang Chong brought this time has a rich variety of patterns and patterns, so it attracted many customers.

And because no cloth coupons were required to receive this batch of cloth from Yang Chong, Chen Xueru was very flexible when selling it. She would ask for fewer cloth coupons, or even no cloth coupons. As a result, the shipment volume in the past few days was astonishing. In just five or six days, the one hundred pieces of cloth were almost sold out.

So, Chen Xueru quickly found Yang Chong, settled the last payment, and discussed with him to continue supplying her with new fabrics.

Of course Yang Chong would not refuse. His space was not only filled with a large amount of food, but also cloth, clothes, and even some food that could be stored. When he robbed the grain and oil store, he would naturally take some goods that were easy to sell.

"I'll give you another hundred horses this time. Is that enough to sell?" Yang Chong said as he took the money handed over by Chen Xueru.

"I don't think it's enough. At the current rate these days, even 200 horses may not be enough. But my warehouse can only store so many. I'll come back to you after I sell them all." As Chen Xueru spoke, one of her feet quietly touched Yang Chong's leg under the table.

Yang Chong didn't notice her little action, but tried to ask again: "By the way, Sister Xueru, I have some ready-made clothes, both men's and women's styles, I wonder if you can sell them here?"

Chen Xueru was stunned: "Clothes? That depends mainly on the price. As long as the price is not high, it will definitely sell well. After all, the cost of making clothes is not low, and ready-made clothes are more convenient."

"The price is easy to negotiate, it's definitely cheap." Yang Chong has no capital to produce his goods, so naturally they can be made cheap without a bottom line, and price is not a problem at all.

"That's fine, but the old rules still apply. Sell the goods first and pay later. Otherwise, I don't have that much cash to give you." Chen Xueru said.

Yang Chong nodded: "No problem, I'll give you some when I deliver the fabrics tonight, you can try selling them first."

After saying that, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down and saw that one of Chen Xueru's feet had slipped out of her shoe at some point and was rubbing it quietly on his calf.

This woman, he almost suspected that Chen Xueru was also a time traveler from the future.

Otherwise, why is she so charming?

This is not something a woman of this age can do.

Looking up, Chen Xueru opposite him gave him a seductive look: "Okay, brother Chong, I'll wait for you tonight." As she spoke, she placed a hand on Yang Chong's hand: "Don't run away tonight like you did last time."

Yang Chong gently pulled his hand back and stood up: "See you tonight."

Chen Xueru stood up and prepared to leave. She felt a little bored, but when she thought of the evening, she was full of longing: "You're leaving now? It's almost noon. Why don't you eat at my place and try my sister's cooking skills?"

Before Yang Chong could answer, the cloth clerk in front opened the back door and shouted, "Boss, we are running out of cloth. Several customers asked if they can buy more."

Yang Chong pointed his mouth outside, and Chen Xueru stood up helplessly, leaned out and shouted, "Yes, tell them it will be available tomorrow, and ask them to come back tomorrow."

"Okay, Sister Xueru, I'd better go back and prepare the goods so as not to delay your business." Yang Chong said as he stood up and walked out.

Chen Xueru had no choice but to send him out: "Well, I'll go to the tavern tonight and order a few bottles of good wine and cook a few dishes. When you're done, I'll have a couple of drinks with you to warm you up."

It was already noon when we returned to the courtyard. Yang Xiaojuan was rolling noodles. Although the child is young, children from poor families have to grow up early and can do all kinds of housework.

He Yushui, who came to "eat for free", was not idle either. He was pounding garlic with a garlic mortar. The two of them were preparing to have garlic noodles for lunch.

Seeing Yang Chong coming back, Yang Xiaojuan said happily: "Brother, you're back just in time. I rolled a lot of noodles today, there's some for you."

Yang Chong nodded, turned around and asked Yu Shui: "Does Yu Shui have homework during the holiday?"

Yu Shui nodded: "I have homework, but I do it every day and will be done soon. Then I can go out and play with Xiao Juan during the New Year."

"Do you know all the usual lessons?"

"Yes, the homework is not difficult. I think I can do it with my eyes closed." He Yushui said proudly.

Yang Chong smiled and rubbed her head with his hand: "You don't know anything else, but you have learned your brother's ability to brag."

He Yushui lowered her head and dodged it, pouting her lips and saying, "Brother Chongzi, can you please stop rubbing my head? You've messed up my hair."

Yang Xiaojuan on the side was giggling. At this time, Xu Damao's voice sounded outside: "Is Chongzi at home?"

Chapter 92 Your medicine really works

Hearing Xu Damao's voice, Yang Chong responded, "I'm here, Brother Damao, come in and talk."

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Xu Damao came in with a smile on his face: "Chongzi, you are finally back. I have been looking for you several times today."

Yang Xiaojuan slapped her head and said, "Brother, I didn't have time to tell you just now, Brother Damao came to see you several times this morning."
