Courtyard House: The Chef's Intelligence System

Lin Gang led his team to stay overnight in Changping, and the next morning, led by an old hunter, they went into the mountains.

There were over fifty people, each with a Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, and some were even carrying mortars.

This made the veteran hunters' mouths twitch, and they also felt sorry for the wild boar herd.

This is a hunting trip, isn't this bullying?

Led by several experienced hunters, they followed the tracks left by the wild boar to find the location.

In the snow, it was impossible to see how many wild boars there were, but there must have been at least several hundred.

Lin Gang waved his hand, and everyone spread out in a fan shape. As soon as the cannon fired, everyone opened fire, shooting as many as they could.

The sound of cannon fire continued in the woods for more than half an hour before it stopped.

97 whole wild boars were harvested, while 36 were dismembered.

The stench of blood permeated the valley.

Don't worry about the smell of blood attracting even more terrifying animals; anyone who dares to come will die.

Animals also know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune.

With over 50 five-six half-guns, going up there is just asking to be slaughtered; even tigers would cower in their dens.

The old hunter also suggested to Lin Gang that he save some water to hang on a tree as an offering to the mountain god.

As a result, Lin Gang almost beat him up. The common people didn't even have meat to eat, yet they still worshipped the mountain god?

However, Lin Gang ultimately left some scraps of meat in the water and hung them on tree branches for the hunters to cook.

There are some things that others can do, but Lin Gang can't. His scolding of the old hunter is just for show.

After descending the mountain, Lin Gang called Li Jiuzhou and asked him to send a vehicle to pick up the wild boar.

The wild boar blood forest was just distributed among the villagers; there's enough to eat, and we can't afford to waste it at this time.

The 133 wild boars, of varying sizes, weighed over 9,000 jin (approximately 4,500 kg), almost 10,000 jin (approximately 5,000 kg).

Lin Gang gave the small change to the village and took the rest back to the factory.

When I returned to the factory that afternoon, the whole factory was in an uproar.

The security team went into the mountains and hunted over a hundred wild boars, which reportedly yielded over nine thousand catties of meat.

The workers were all overjoyed.

The workers were happy, but Li Jiuzhou was in a bit of trouble.

One phone call after another came in, and without exception, they were all asking to borrow his body.

The key point is that they don't want to buy or ask for it; they just want to borrow it!

The brilliance lies in the word "borrow," damn it, it's all about human relationships and social dynamics.

The bigwigs in the Ministry of Metallurgy remained calm and collected, knowing that Li Jiuzhou was a filial son and would not forget them.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after the wild boars entered the steel rolling mill, Li Jiuzhou arranged for five of the fattest wild boars to be sent over.

What surprised Li Jiuzhou the most was that the first person to call was actually his wife. He was really furious.

Bingbing said that life in their subdistrict office is tough, and being the deputy director is very difficult for her...

What could Li Jiuzhou do? With tears in his eyes, he gave her three wild boars. He decided to see this through and sent someone to bring them over.

Li Jiuzhou was happy to help his wife gain prestige.

The second call was from Yang Ligong, who asked to borrow 10 wild boars.

Li Jiuzhou did not refuse; there were only about ten wild boars around.

But Yang Ligong had an idea: he suggested arranging for Dong Tianbao to borrow the money, but Li Jiuzhou shouldn't lend it to him. Instead, Li Jiuzhou should lend it to him when Dong Tianbao comes to borrow it in person.

Yang Ligong had been working to crack down on Dong Tianbao, and Li Jiuzhou agreed to his demands, asking for many other benefits in return.

Although the wild boars were hunted by the security department, Li Jiuzhou had the final say on the allocation. Don't forget, the weapons all came from the factory.

You can't even call the security department without his permission.

Similarly, the security department kept 10 wild boars for themselves as a reward.

Li Jiuzhou, from the Dongcheng District government, also sent five wild boars over.

Even Li Jiuzhou from the meat processing plant sent two over to try and build a closer relationship.

The main problem is that Lin Gang beat too many people; it's understandable that he would eat less of the Red Star's food.

If you have too much, you'll have to give some away, otherwise people will be envious.

At the end of the year, the Ministry of Materials and Metallurgy fully equipped Red Star, and you still hunted more than a hundred wild boars. Isn't that ridiculous?

Even those factories that couldn't borrow wild boars decided to try their luck and sent people into the mountains.

Before leaving get off work, Li Jiuzhou had the announcement broadcast that they would be having wild boar meat tomorrow, and that the children could come and enjoy it.

Tomorrow at noon, there will be no tickets needed for lunch at the factory; eat as much as you want!

Red Star has the confidence to back it up.

Wild boar meat is gamey and rather tough, but these are not problems for the chefs at Hongxing; they have plenty of ways to cook it.

Li Jiuzhou invited the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgy to come and inspect the area the next day, and also to have a pig-slaughtering feast and join in the fun.

Li Jiuzhou had lunch with the leaders at noon.

Secretary Nie picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, his eyes immediately lighting up:

"The craftsmanship is excellent; the meat is soft, chewy, and has a sweet aftertaste, with absolutely no gamey smell."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuzhou smiled and placed another piece on his plate.

"If it's delicious, eat a few more pieces."

Secretary Nie smiled:

"I heard you sent Lin Gang with a mortar to hunt wild boars?"

"Good heavens, they're bombing and blasting like crazy in the mountains. You'd think there was a war going on."

As soon as Secretary Nie said this, all the leaders present looked at Li Jiuzhou with smiles, wanting him to give an explanation.

Knowing this question would come, Li Jiuzhou quickly distanced himself from the situation:

"Hey, old secretary, and all the leaders, you've misunderstood me. I'm just worried about the safety of the soldiers, and it's just in case."

"Who knew that bastard Lin Gang would actually use a mortar to bombard a herd of wild boars? It's utterly lawless, disorganized, and undisciplined."

"Don't worry, I'll criticize him later and make him write a self-criticism to acknowledge his mistake."

Secretary Nie looked at Li Jiuzhou with a half-smile:

"Oh...Is that so? You need to do a thorough self-examination and make sure it never happens again."

"Understood, understood, there won't be a next time." Li Jiuzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Huaide had already completed half of the level and was very happy.

Li Huaide loved socializing the most; he enjoyed eating and drinking well.

At noon, each worker received a meat dish, all braised pork, which smelled delicious.

The children who came with us were drooling with envy; it looked so delicious!

The braised pork you make at home isn't real braised pork; the cooking method is too rough.

But the ones from the factory are different; they're absolutely authentic, with perfect color, tender and flavorful, so delicious you won't want to swallow them after just one bite.

It's quite rare to see workers being provided with free meat.

Even if the factory provides meat and vegetables, many workers may not be willing to eat them, since they cost money. Although they are very cheap, they just can't bear to part with them.

Even if you buy meat and vegetables, you should bring them home to share with your family.

This practice was common in the factory, and Li Jiuzhou had seen it all, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He can only provide enough oil and water for the factory, but he can't and shouldn't be in charge of the workers' family affairs.

The biggest advantage of Red Star is that the factory has an unlimited supply of eggs.

There's a dish made with chicken and duck eggs every day, plus egg drop soup.

This is an extremely luxurious dish, at least at this time.

Eggs are already hard to find in the market, and they are ridiculously expensive on the black market, costing two or three yuan per kilogram.

Without sufficient financial resources, one simply cannot afford to eat it, nor would one dare to.

Hongxing not only achieved complete egg supply for the entire factory, but also had an abundance of eggs.

After deducting the monthly allowance for the Ministry of Metallurgy, the remainder went to the workers.

Li Jiuzhou introduced a policy that allows impoverished worker families to deduct chicken and duck eggs from their wages at the official price, twice a month, with each deduction limited to one jin (500 grams).

Remember that they are families in difficulty. Under Li Jiuzhou's arrangement, the labor union had already figured out the family situation of all the factory workers.

There is no one who wants to take advantage of others.

If so, the labor union will step in and drag the workshop director over for a severe reprimand.

If the workshop foreman loses face, he will also take action, drag the worker who tried to take advantage back to the workshop and beat him up. Damn it, why are you so greedy?
