Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Seeing Wang Feng frown, Li Huaide asked in confusion, "Wang Feng, what's wrong?"

Wang Feng put the gun license into his pocket, but in reality, he had already stored it in his spatial storage.

"It's alright, Brother Li. I've been shopping in the countryside lately, so don't think I'm slacking off. As soon as I had any news, I came to let you know."

Upon hearing the good news, Li Huaide stood up and hurriedly asked, "Wang Feng, tell me quickly, what have you gotten this time?"

After careful consideration, Wang Feng decided to provide the factory with a little more meat. Of course, he couldn't provide too much or too little. If he provided too little, Li Huaide would definitely have a problem with him, and it wouldn't be so easy for him to ask for help in the future.

"Brother Li, this time we got 500 catties of fish and 20 wild rabbits."

"Hahaha, Wang Feng, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You alone can match the purchasing volume of the three purchasing departments. Keep up the good work, and when the opportunity comes, I'll let you drop the title of deputy." Li Huaide laughed loudly.

"No, no, no, Brother Li, please don't!"

Wang Feng waved his hands repeatedly in refusal: "Brother Li, you know me. I don't like management. If you make me the section chief, the purchasing department will be in complete chaos. I'd rather just do my job well."

"You little brat."

Li Huaide sighed: "Fine, since you want to be a lazy bum, I won't interfere. But you have to complete your monthly quota, or I won't be able to explain it to you."

"Alright, Brother Li, don't worry," Wang Feng said with a smile.

"Get out of here, but remember to bring the fish and the rabbit back."

"Hehe, Brother Li, I'm going to get the meat now."

Wang Feng chuckled, grabbed the half-pack of cigarettes Li Huaide had placed on the desk, stuffed it into his pocket, and ran out of the office.

"You little brat!"

......

After leaving Li Huaide's office, Wang Feng went to the transportation department, greeted Zhang Dazhuang, and drove out of the steel rolling mill.

Zhang Dazhuang is Zhang Dali's older brother and the team leader of the transportation department. Because of Wang Feng's relationship with Zhang Dali, he also has a good impression of Wang Feng.

Last time, when Zhang Dazhuang asked him to teach him to drive, Zhang Dali agreed without even thinking about it.

Just like last time, Wang Feng drove around Beijing for over an hour, took out 500 jin of fish and 20 wild rabbits from his spatial storage, put them in the car, and then returned to the steel mill.

Last time, he found jadeite rough in the moat and also collected water from two acres of fishponds. He also collected more than 2,000 catties of fish. Now he has more than 1,000 catties of fish weighing more than five catties in his space.

As for rabbits, they reproduce too quickly; there are already hundreds of them, so taking out twenty won't have much of an impact.

He's reluctant to take out the wild boars now; he only has about twenty in total. He's planning to raise several thousand wild boars to exchange for gold, jade, and antiques during famine years.

After driving the car into the canteen and weighing it, the fish weighed 508 jin, but we charged him 510 jin. The wild rabbit weighed 89 jin, but we charged him 90 jin. The fish was 6 mao per jin, and the wild rabbit was also 6 mao per jin, totaling 360 yuan.

After collecting the money from the finance department, Wang Feng went to the security office.

Upon arriving at the office, Wang Feng quickly took out a Zhonghua cigarette, lit it, and greeted Chen Jianbing, the deputy head of the security department, with a smile.

"Section Chief Chen, are you busy?"

Chen Jianbing took the cigarette and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"Hehe, Section Chief Chen, I'm Wang Feng, the deputy section chief of the Third Purchasing Section. Didn't Director Li issue gun licenses to our purchasing section? That's why I'm asking you for help," Wang Feng said with a smile.

Chen Jianbing laughed and joked, "Section Chief Wang, you've been busy enough! Your purchasing department got the gun permits processed last week, and you're only getting here now?"

"Hehe, Section Chief Chen, I have no choice. I'm busy in the countryside all day, trying to get more meat for the workers in the factory. I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to go back to the factory. I just brought back 500 catties of fish and 20 wild rabbits from outside."

Upon hearing that Wang Feng had brought back 500 jin of fish and 20 wild rabbits, Chen Jianbing's impression of Wang Feng improved by three points.

"Section Chief Wang, come with me, I'll take you to the warehouse to get a better gun."

"Thank you, Section Chief Chen."

Soon, Chen Jianbing brought Wang Feng to the warehouse. After registering, Chen Jianbing picked out a Type 52 7.65 pistol for Wang Feng, but the pistol looked worn.

"Section Chief Chen, this... the gun is in such a state, can it still be used?"

Chen Jianbing waved his hand and said, "Why can't I use it? Yours is actually a good one. The guns we use now are basically those that were discarded from the battlefield. Alright, come with me to the shooting range, and I'll personally teach you how to load, unload, and fire."

Wang Feng nodded, no longer dwelling on the pistol issue, and followed Chen Jianbing to the shooting range.

Half an hour later, Wang Feng walked out of the shooting range, leaving Chen Jianbing dumbfounded, muttering to himself, "Such a good prospect, it's a pity he's not in the army."

After handing over his pistol, Wang Feng left the security office and rode his bicycle back to compound number 95.

He's not going to the countryside now, so there's no need for him to carry a gun. He has a handgun in his storage space, and it's much better than the one the factory provides. Besides, with his current strength, does he even need to carry a gun?

Wang Feng placed a bag of rice, a bag of flour, and a bag of cornmeal on the handlebars and the back seat of the bicycle before walking into the front yard.

"Wang Feng, you're back! What's all this stuff you've got?" Yan Fugui asked.

"Hehe, Lao Yan, it's nothing, just some cornmeal. Lao Yan, I heard you're a small business owner, you must have quite a bit of wealth, right? Do you really need to do this every day?" Wang Feng laughed.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fugui waved his hands repeatedly: "Wang Feng, don't talk nonsense. I'm just a poor farmer. Who told you I'm a small business owner? Wang Feng, you can't just say things like that."

"Hehe, I only heard it from someone on the way here. I've forgotten who it was. Okay, I'll talk to you now. I'm going back first."

Wang Feng was just testing Yan Fugui. Seeing his flustered appearance, it was very likely that Yan Fugui was a small business owner in the past.

Back inside, Qin Jingru saw so many things on Wang Feng's bicycle and quickly went to help.

"Brother Wang Feng, what are all these?"

"Twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of wheat flour, and ten catties of cornmeal. Jingru, take them back and put them away properly," Wang Feng said.

"Hey, Brother Wang Feng, I'm going right now."

After putting the things away, Qin Jingru poured Wang Feng a cup of tea and said:

"Brother Wang Feng, I've washed the sheets and blankets."

"By the way, Brother Wang Feng, I just saw a girl at Teacher Yan's house. She's quite pretty. She must have been brought by a matchmaker to meet Yan Jiecheng for a blind date."

"Um?"

"Jingru, where is that girl? I haven't seen her." Wang Feng asked.

"She went on a date with Yan Jiecheng."

After hearing Qin Jingru's description, Wang Feng was certain that the girl must be Yu Li.
