Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

Li Jianxun stopped the two and said:

"I'm new here, so I should spend a little money to let the workers have a good meal. This amount of money is nothing to me. I've made up my mind, so you don't need to say anything more."

Seeing that Li Jianxun was firm in his attitude, Director Yang and Director Li could only go along with him.

"Well, since you insist, I can't say anything. I'll just listen to you."

Then Director Yang turned his head and instructed Assistant Sun beside him:

"Xiao Sun, go to the Propaganda Department now and tell the announcer to prepare a script about Section Chief Li inviting all the workers to drink mutton soup. Broadcast it well, and then prepare braised pork and white rice in the cafeteria for lunch tomorrow to make the workers happy."

"Okay, Director Yang, I'll go right away."

Assistant Sun walked out after receiving the order.

I have to say that Director Yang is a man who knows how to behave and handle affairs, and he has a firm grasp of all aspects of human relationships and social etiquette.

Li Jianxun was quite satisfied to see Director Yang doing this. What was he doing this for? It was just for reputation!

Suddenly, he thought of something:

"By the way, Director Li, I have a suggestion that I hope will get your support."

“I support it!”

Li Jianxun: . . .

Director Yang: . . .

Everyone: . . .

Seeing that Director Yang was so "sensible", Li Huaide didn't want to be left behind.

Alas, I am not afraid of you saying it, I am just afraid of you not saying it. If you dare to say it, I will support you.

Wow, he is indeed a seasoned man in the political arena.

"It's like this. We have a lot of people in our factory. Do you think we can ask the canteen to prepare some more radishes and add them to the mutton soup? At least the workers should have a bowl of meat and vegetables, and two bowls of soup. Also, you can get some pancakes or something to make sure the workers are full."

"No problem. A lot of radishes happened to arrive the day before yesterday. I asked the canteen to add all of them, and then steamed some Ermianzi pancakes. All of these are free for the workers to eat."

"That's good. Otherwise there are too many people in the factory and each worker wouldn't get much and it would be gone."

Li Jianxun was also happier at this time.

"Also, keep that car for me from now on. If the factory needs any supplies, let Assistant Sun tell me and I'll go out and get them anytime."

"We don't have to worry about food now. I'll find a way to get meat. Don't worry, I won't let the factory run out of meat. We have some channels for pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, etc. We can get as much as you want."

Director Yang and Director Li were overjoyed. Why was there only good news today?

"That's great. I thank you on behalf of all the workers in the factory. Thank you for everything you have done for our steel mill. With Jianxun here, is there anything we can't accomplish?"

"Yes, as long as Section Chief Li is here, all difficulties can be solved. Good days are finally coming for our steel mill and the workers in the factory."

The two of them sang in unison and cooperated very skillfully, and it was obvious that they flattered the leader a lot.

With the logistics and supplies issue resolved, Li Huaide actually gained the biggest benefit.

As long as Li Jianxun can provide sufficient meat and grain, he can ask his father-in-law to think of a way to make further progress and be promoted to deputy factory director.

Li Jianxun also had his own selfish motives. He wanted to test the waters with the steel rolling mill first. If the mill could consume meat normally and there were no problems, he would contact more factories later, and the livestock in the flat miniature earth would be able to be shipped perfectly.

Just then, the loud speaker outside started broadcasting.

Chapter 69: Free lamb soup tonight, the whole factory is boiling

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, fellow workers, there is an important message to be announced now, please listen carefully."

Yu Haitang took the manuscript, looked at the familiar name, suppressed her inner excitement, and broadcast the report.

"Section Chief Li of the Technical Department purchased five fat pigs and five fat sheep today, as well as some rice, flour, etc. Tonight, Section Chief Li will treat all the workers to a whole sheep soup and two-sided cakes in the cafeteria at his own expense. At the same time, the factory leaders have decided that the cafeteria will provide braised pork and white rice for lunch tomorrow. Please be informed of this."

"Now, let me repeat. Section Chief Li of the Technical Department has purchased five fat pigs and five fat sheep as well as some rice, flour, etc. tonight. Section Chief Li will treat all the workers to a whole sheep soup and two-sided cakes at his own expense in the cafeteria. At the same time, the factory leaders have decided that the cafeteria will provide braised pork and white rice for lunch tomorrow. Please be informed, all workers."

"Now repeat, 'Section Chief Li of the Technical Department has purchased five fat pigs and five fat sheep today, as well as some rice, flour, etc. Tonight, Section Chief Li will treat all the workers to a whole sheep soup and two-sided cakes at his own expense in the canteen. At the same time, the factory leaders have decided that the canteen will provide braised pork and white rice for lunch tomorrow. Please be informed of this, all workers."

Three consecutive broadcasts were made, and every corner of the factory could hear them clearly.

As soon as the broadcast was over, all the workers in the factory were instantly in an uproar.

My goodness, the workers have stopped working and are just talking.

In fact, it’s not their fault. There has been too little oil and water during this period, and the workers are full of complaints.

It’s not that they have less food. There is enough food, but there is no meat.

Who can endure doing physical work in a factory without a full stomach?

"Isn't Section Chief Li from the Technical Department? How come he's doing purchasing work? And he's really good at it. He bought five pigs, five sheep, and other things like rice and flour at once."

"Yes, this Section Chief Li is really amazing. There are so many people in the purchasing department who can't even buy meat. When it comes to Section Chief Li who is in charge of technology, he is like five pigs and five sheep. In my opinion, they are all a bunch of garbage. A group of people are not as good as Section Chief Li alone."

"Also, did you hear the radio? Section Chief Li paid for us tonight's mutton soup, and we also had Ermianzi pancakes. We didn't have to pay for anything. Section Chief Li is really generous."

"Oh, it's good to have mutton soup now. I haven't had mutton soup for a long time. I have almost forgotten what it tastes like. I must try it tonight."

"Yes, yes. I can't remember how long it has been since I had mutton soup. I must drink three or four bowls of it tonight to satisfy my craving. Then I will save the meat and let my wife add some vegetables to stew it when I get home in the evening so that my family can have a taste of it too."

"Not only mutton soup, but also braised pork for lunch tomorrow. Don't worry if you laugh at me, but I haven't had braised pork for more than three years. There are many people in my family, and I can't even afford to drink cornmeal porridge with this little money."

"Whose family isn't like this? Meat is so precious nowadays. Let me tell you, I heard from my friends who work in the cafeteria that there isn't much meat in the stir-fried dishes of the bosses nowadays."

For a while, there was endless discussion throughout the factory, and praise for Li Jianxun came one after another.

After all, what Li Jianxun did was indeed grand.

"Humph, a person from the technical department is doing the work of our purchasing department. Isn't this deliberately trying to embarrass us? He has bad intentions. People like this are the most hateful. Whoever wants to drink the whole mutton soup tonight can drink it. I'm not going!"

Yang Weimin was happily bragging to his colleagues, but he suddenly became unhappy after hearing the broadcast.

He has not forgotten the "ignorance" and "humiliation" of him by Li Jianxun in the workshop that day.

What he could not forget even more was that Yu Haitang was so attracted to Li Jianxun that he thought Li Jianxun only needed to relax and hook his hand, and Yu Haitang, whom he had been pursuing with all his heart, would throw herself into his arms.

Damn it, screw Li Jianxun! Yang Weimin became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it.

However, what made him even more angry was yet to come.

"Weimin, Chief Li is a good man. We have so many people and can't buy meat. When he comes out, he buys pigs and sheep. We have to admit that we are not as good as him."

"Yes, it's been a while since we purchased a large amount of meat. The workers in the factory said so bad things about us. With Chief Li's help, our lives will be better in the future."

"Yes, for the people, Section Chief Li is willing to buy five sheep at his own expense to treat the entire factory to a whole sheep soup. How courageous is that? These five sheep must cost at least four or five hundred yuan. It will take me a year and a half to earn back the money. I would not be willing to do that."

"In my opinion, you are judging others by your own standards. You are finding fault with the free mutton soup you invited us to drink. If you don't drink it, I will. I have to drink two bowls tonight."

Yang Weimin was so angry at these colleagues that his face turned blue and red. He looked at these colleagues who usually respected him, and left with an angry "humph".

As soon as he left, the office was immediately filled with laughter. These buyers had long been unhappy with Yang Weimin.

"You're still comparing yourself to Section Chief Li. Bah, what a character. Take a look at yourself. Section Chief Li can even repair imported machines, but you can't even dismantle them."

"That's right. If you just wander around every day and can't complete the mission, you will be a drag. If you didn't have that relationship, who would you think you were?"

.........

Not only Yang Weimin, but also Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu were unhappy and even angry.

Why are Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao not here?

These two are smart people. Now that they know how powerful Li Jianxun is, they have unanimously changed their minds and want to follow Li Jianxun.

"What are you so proud of? It's just a few pigs and sheep. Do you need to broadcast it? Bah, I won't drink it. I'll piss you off to death."

Jia Dongxu was cleaning the toilet while rubbing his sore and swollen arms and cursing.

The toilet was so messy after the fight between him and Xu Damao that there were too many places to clean up. He had been cleaning since morning until now and he would probably barely finish it by the time he got off work in the evening.

"Jia Dongxu, are you itching for trouble? You want to be punished again, right?"

Zhu Liu happened to come over with the technical staff who were sent to clean the toilets. When he heard Jia Dongxu insulting his good brother, he immediately became angry.

Now those people in the technical department who were dissatisfied have finally accepted the result, and they all feel very regretful.

Cleaning toilets is really not a job for humans. They also secretly inquired about it and found out that Li Jianxun was of high status and even the factory director had to respect him. Whether they could go back or not depended on Li Jianxun's words.

So now they are trying to curry favor with Zhu Liu, hoping that he will say a good word for them so that they can go back as soon as possible.

"Oh, it's Brother Zhu, I was wrong, I was wrong, I slapped my face, it was my fault."

Jia Dongxu is a bachelor, and when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

One day, when I, Jia Dongxu, become powerful enough, I will take care of you one by one.

Jia Dongxu forced himself to comfort himself.

Zhu Liu looked at the "surrendered" Jia Dongxu with some pride.

After being educated, he left satisfied.

Chapter 70: Full of joy, drink whole mutton soup

In the second canteen, Sha Zhu was squatting on the ground cutting up mutton.

Now the chef has been replaced by someone else, hired from outside, and his cooking skills are no worse than his.

As for Shazhu, he is now an apprentice and works at the bottom of the cafeteria.

When he got here this morning, many people he had offended in the past teased him, but he didn't dare to say a word.

It’s not that my temper has changed, it’s still the same.

It was just because he was worried that if he was fired again, he would not be able to bring lunch boxes to Sister Qin, and Sister Qin would be unhappy.

Thinking about Sister Qin's smile, and then thinking about Sister Qin's big breasts and butt, Sha Zhu was a little obsessed.

Suddenly, a broadcast interrupted Sha Zhu's thoughts.

"Dear workers... Chief Li from the Technical Department... We can enjoy free whole lamb soup tonight..."

Sha Zhu suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the sheep in front of him and found that it was brought by that bastard Li Jianxun.

"This bastard, pretending to be a good guy, hurt me so badly and now he invites the workers to drink whole lamb soup. He must have some shameful purpose."

Sha Zhu transferred his anger towards Li Jianxun to the mutton in front of him, chopping it with a knife on the chopping board.

"Silly Zhu, are you out of your mind? Section Chief Li is handsome, skilled and capable, and you are jealous of him, right? He is willing to treat all the workers in the factory to free mutton soup, and you are slandering him? Can you be a decent person?"

"Liu Lan, why are you pretending to be so handsome and skilled? Did Li Jianxun crawl into your bed and make you feel good so you speak well of him? Bah, you disgust me."

Sha Zhu has never been a big shot in the mouth, but he used to be the chef and everyone in the cafeteria had to be tolerant of him. He forgot that he is no longer a chef and no one tolerates him anymore.

Liu Lan blushed and spat, not wanting to be outdone:

"You bastard, I'm telling you the truth, am I offending you? I like Section Chief Li, but Section Chief Li doesn't like me. I think you should change your name. Don't call yourself Shazhu. Call yourself Shazi. It suits you better."

Seeing the two people arguing, the new chef came over to stop them.

"Stop arguing and get busy with the work at hand. There are still two hours before the end of the shift. The time is tight and the task is heavy. If we can't finish it by the time the workers get off work, we will inevitably be punished, and I will not forgive you then."

Sha Zhu and Liu Lan each snorted coldly, turned their faces away and ignored each other.

Not only the second canteen is crowded, but the other four canteens are as well.

Li Jianxun brought a total of five sheep, each weighing more than 100 kilograms after being cut up. The canteen director allocated one sheep to each of the five canteens, and then asked them to add more radishes and cook several more pots, making sure that every worker got a full bowl of both meat and radishes, and drank the soup until they were full.

It's easy to say, but it's not that easy to do.

After the lamb is cut up, it must be cooked over high heat first, the meat must be removed, and the bones must be broken into pieces. Then simmer over high heat until it turns milky white and set aside.

Then put the chopped meat, mutton offal and radish into the bone soup and simmer until it boils. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander when eating and you will have a bowl of delicious whole mutton soup.

Don’t even mention the mutton and mutton offal, just the radish that has soaked up the soup, it’s soft and delicious and it feels so comfortable to eat it.

Time passed quickly and everyone in the cafeteria was very busy.

Many workers were already waiting to drink a bowl of hot mutton soup after get off work. Some workers in the workshop close to the canteen even lost their minds to work after smelling the delicious aroma.

"Ding ding ding, ding ding ding."

Finally, it's time to get off work.

"It's time to get off work. I'll be leaving first, everyone."
