The next day, Xu Damao took Li Aiguo to the countryside and introduced the situation of each village to Li Aiguo along the way. Xu Damao's understanding of the commune below made Li Aiguo look at him with admiration. After Su Wen left yesterday, Li Aiguo also asked others about Xu Damao's information. The evaluation he received was not very good, but the Xu Damao in front of him left a deep impression on him. Xu Damao knew the history, interpersonal relationships and other aspects of each village very well. He introduced it in detail, which gave Li Aiguo a vivid and specific understanding of each village.
Xu Damao's enthusiasm and professionalism made Li Aiguo re-examine him. They walked through fields and across small bridges. Everywhere they went, Xu Damao could tell many interesting stories. His rich knowledge and unique insights gradually improved Li Aiguo's evaluation of him.
After breakfast, Su Wen came to the steel rolling mill. The purchasing department was still very deserted. The pressure of purchasing tasks made every purchaser dare not relax even a little bit.
"Chief Su, are you busy?"
"Director Zhang, please sit down quickly. What brought you here?"
"There will be a very important reception in the factory in three days. Director Li asked me to call you to his office."
"Director Zhang, you shouldn't be the one to complain, right? I told you that our Purchasing Section 3 has a new section chief, and it's not my turn to be scolded." Su Wen took out a cigarette and handed it to Director Zhang in the cafeteria, joking. Said as if.
Director Zhang took the cigarette and shook his head with a wry smile, "Chief Su, please stop joking. It's not easy for your Purchasing Section 3 to be responsible for purchasing unplanned supplies. It's also very difficult for our cafeteria. They scold us for not being able to provide good hospitality. But it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, so we are the ones who are destined to be angry.”
The two walked and chatted and soon arrived at Director Li's office. "Director Zhang stood outside and did not follow Su Wen in." Director Li, here I come. "
"Su Wenzai, your kid's life was pretty good. He stayed in the Purchasing Department drinking tea all day."
"How can the factory director be so free as you said? Don't I often go to the countryside to purchase supplies? My purchasing tasks are completed on time and in full every time."
"It's not enough to just complete your own procurement tasks. You are now the deputy section chief. It is the leader who should set an example and take the lead and help the comrades who cannot complete the tasks. Perform well so that I can replace the work-for-work tasks with those behind you. Get rid of it."
"Director Li, don't worry, I will work hard. I will set an example and take the lead, help colleagues who encounter difficulties, and do my best to complete the procurement tasks." Su Wen said firmly.
"Okay, I believe in your ability. You have always been a hard-working comrade. I hope you will do what you say." Director Li encouraged. "By the way, in three days there will be an inspection group from the Northeast that needs us to entertain. You also know that the living standard in Big Brother Northeast is much better than ours here. We can't be too shabby in our hospitality, and we can't let people think that we are If you don't pay attention to others, I will leave the ingredients to you to prepare. Once this is done, your work will be gone."
"Okay, director, I will go all out to ensure that the task is completed." Su Wen said firmly.
Director Li nodded, "Okay, I believe you. Go find Director Zhang and ask him to provide you with some suggestions and help in purchasing ingredients. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me at any time."
Su Wen stood up and left. He wanted to do this well.
Su Wen found Director Zhang and asked him about the procurement of ingredients. Director Zhang very enthusiastically provided him with some suggestions and help, telling him which ingredients were favored by Northeastern people and which methods were acceptable to them. After listening to what Director Zhang said for a long time, Su Wen realized that it was all useless nonsense. To sum up, he said that Northeastern people love to eat meat.
"Director Zhang, I want to find a way to prepare meat. Your cafeteria needs to prepare the side dishes. I don't have time to buy vegetables."
"Okay, no problem. Just bring back some more meat. You don't have to worry about the vegetables and seasonings." Su Wen made an OK gesture to Director Zhang. Director Zhang looked confused and didn't know what Su Wen was. I mean, I want to ask Su Wen clearly and he has already gone far.
Back in the Purchasing Department, Su Wen asked Zhu Minghua to get the seal and write a letter of introduction for himself. "What's wrong? The factory director gave you a temporary task?"
"I have been given the responsibility for the ingredients for the reception meal that Lao Zhang mentioned. I will go to the countryside soon. If I had known, I would have taken Section Chief Li to the countryside myself. There is no benefit in being lazy."
After leaving the steel rolling mill, Su Wen rode his bicycle to Dongjiaomin Lane and carried the last two adult pheasants in the space to Grandpa Lu Wenxiu's house.
"Su Wen, are you going to the countryside? Why are you here at this time?"
"Well, let's go right away. Li Huaide has arranged a temporary procurement task for me. After it is completed, he will do it for me. These two pheasants are what I left after the last procurement task. I will give them to you, boss. Replenish yourself." Su Wen handed the snakeskin bag containing the pheasant to Wu Ma.
"You can take it to hand in the mission. Meat is very scarce here. Old man, my body is very strong."
"Wenxiu should have told you that I have my own way and it is easy to complete the purchase task. Just stew these two pheasants and they will be delicious. I will come to see you when I come back and bring you delicious food."
After three months of development in the space, Su Wen accelerated the planting of corn and sweet potatoes. The yield of sweet potatoes was really high. Su Wen harvested 30,000 kilograms of sweet potato noodles from 15 acres of land, but the corn harvest was much worse. Less than 4,000 pounds.
The piglets in the space already weigh more than thirty kilograms, and the newly hatched pheasants have begun to shed their down, but there are too few luck points that automatically increase, and now there are only twenty-three points left. Su Wen planned to go home and go into the mountains to see if there was any unexpected harvest. If not, he would have to sacrifice a piglet.
Returning to Su Wen's home in the west end of the village in Sujiazhuang, Su Wen found that the 2,000 kilograms of sweet potato noodles he had put at home last time were gone. Su Wen put another 2,000 kilograms of sweet potato noodles at home.
Arriving at the Su family's old house, "Dad, I'm back."
"You haven't had lunch yet. There are some sweet potato buns that have been heated at noon. Just eat some with the pickles."
"No, I'm not hungry yet. Let's eat together in the evening."
"Can you still buy sweet potato noodles? Last time you put 2,000 kilograms of sweet potato noodles at home, I lent 1,000 kilograms to the village, and I moved 100 kilograms back myself. I took the remaining 900 kilograms to the mountains to feed the chickens. The chickens are also lent to the village. The village's summer grain production will be exhausted again this year, and they don't want to feed sweet potato noodles to the chickens, but want to save the grain for emergencies."
