Li Aiguo suddenly slapped him on the head, "It's not like you misled me by saying that my wife is settled and I don't have anything to worry about anymore. You made me think you were going to do something big."
Su Wen was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, then gently touched his head and said, "Section Chief, I'm sorry for making you worry. In fact, I just want to tell you that I have arranged things at home. , you can devote yourself to your work wholeheartedly. I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me.”
Li Aiguo patted Su Wen on the head and said with a smile: "You are a boy that makes people both love and hate you. You are so good at sensationalism."
Su Wen smiled awkwardly, touched his head, and said, "Section Chief, I'm sorry for making you worry. I will definitely pay attention to the way I speak next time."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the office became relaxed.
After leaving Li Aiguo's office, Su Wen held the list in his hand with a solemn expression, and bumped into Xu Damao who came to see him outside the door. "Brother Damao, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu Damao said hurriedly: "Su Wen, please open the letter of introduction and follow me."
Su Wen did not continue to ask Xu Damao, but turned around and pushed away Li Aiguo's office. "The section chief will give me a letter of introduction immediately. Brother Damao and I are going to the countryside together."
Li Aiguo opened the drawer and took out the seal, and asked, "Why is Damao so anxious about a good thing?"
"An elk?" Xu Damao replied, panting heavily. "
"An elk?" Li Aiguo looked at Xu Damao in surprise, "How did you get it?"
Xu Damao explained: "We didn't get it, it was hunted by Shanglinzi Village. They don't want money, they just want food."
"Did you hunt in Shanglinzi Village?" Li Aiguo was even more surprised, "So, it was hunted by the villagers?"
Xu Damao nodded, "Yes, Section Chief Li. The villagers in Shanglinzi Village hunt after the autumn harvest every year. This time they hunted an elk, but they didn't need money. They just wanted to exchange the deer for some food." .”
Li Aiguo was silent for a while, and then said: "This matter is a bit complicated. The food supply of our steel rolling mill is also very tight."
"Leave this matter to me, section chief. I will definitely bring the elk back to you." Su Wen took the letter of introduction and left the rolling mill with Xu Damao.
"Brother Damao, how much harvest has there been in Shanglin Village? If there was only one elk, you wouldn't be in such a hurry."
Xu Damao's face was solemn. He looked at Su Wen, and then said: "Su Wen, a herd of elk was captured in Shanglin Village. There are five adults, three half-grown ones, and four little ones. All the little ones are Alive. If you have room to raise pigs, can you raise this little deer?"
"I've never raised one, and I don't know. How many adult ones can you sell to us?"
Xu Damao took a deep breath and said: "If everything goes well, we can buy an adult, a half-year-old, and the remaining four little ones. There should be no one competing with us for such meatless ones. Little cub."
When they arrived at Shanglin Village, there were already more than a dozen waves of buyers in the village. Xu Damao hurriedly parked his bicycle and squeezed into the crowd. Xu Damao squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly: "Village Chief Lin, I'm back.
The village chief came over happily when he heard Xu Damao's voice, "Projectionist Xu, you are back. I have kept the two elk, one large and one small, that I sold to you at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."
When Xu Damao heard what the village chief said, a delighted smile appeared on his face, "That's great, Village Chief Lin. Can we also buy the four little deer cubs?"
When the village chief heard Xu Damao's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Four little deer cubs? This is a bit difficult, Projectionist Xu. The people from the chemical plant are willing to pay 50 kilograms of cornmeal each in exchange for the four little elk. .”
After hearing this, Xu Damao had a troubled look on his face. He looked at Su Wen and made gestures with his hands. Su Wen didn't understand it anyway, but this did not prevent Su Wen from nodding to Xu Damao, indicating that it was okay.
Xu Damao gained confidence with Su Wen's nod, and then said to the village chief: "Village Chief, we are actually very interested in these four little elk. We have no problem with one weighing 50 pounds. You see, I'm here." Is it okay to sell the steel rolling mill to us at the same price for the sake of showing movies in our village?"
After hearing Xu Damao's words, the village chief thought for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, projectionist Xu. I will discuss it with several team leaders. If everyone agrees, I will arrange for these four little ones to be I’ll sell the elk to you.”
After hearing this, Xu Damao felt happy and said, "Village Chief, thank you very much for your understanding and support."
Village Chief Lin stood on a stool and shouted to the people around him, "All the elk have been sold. If you haven't bought any, please go back. There is no way to just have so many things."
Xu Damao squeezed out of the crowd again, "Awen, we need a total of 1,100 kilograms of cornmeal. Is that okay?"
"Why does Brother Damao need so much? How many kilograms of venison?"
"The adult one weighs a little over 200, the half-grown one weighs over 100 kilograms, and each of the four cubs costs 50 kilograms of cornmeal. The people from the chemical factory have raised the price with us. Don't say no, I just told you the price. , you nodded in agreement."
After hearing this, Su Wen was silent for a while, and then said: "Brother Damao, I will take the four cubs back first, and then bring the cornmeal. Aren't you showing a movie here? Is it okay to keep you here?"
Xu Damao said helplessly: "Okay, no problem. Once the crowd disperses, we can go talk to the village chief."
Half an hour later, under Xu Damao's resentful eyes, Su Wen left Shanglin Village on his bicycle with four young elk cubs. An hour later, Su Wen used his work permit from the steel rolling mill and a letter of introduction to borrow money from the commune supply and marketing cooperative where Shanglin Village was located. Su Wen picked up a tricycle and returned to Shanglin Village again with 1,100 kilograms of cornmeal.
He called Xu Damao's name loudly and told him that the cornmeal had arrived. After Xu Damao heard this, he immediately squeezed out of the crowd and ran to the tricycle. "Su Wen, you still have a way to get the cornmeal back so quickly. This tricycle belongs to the supply and marketing cooperative, right? Do you have anything to do with the supply and marketing cooperative here?" Xu Damao asked curiously.
"Brother Damao, your question has crossed the line."
"Okay Su Wen, I won't share the dividends with you from the four baby elk. You can take the adult elk back to the rolling mill. This half-grown one belongs to me. It counts as my information fee, right?"
"No problem, Brother Damao. If something like this happens in the future, you can go to the commune and call the factory. There is no need to make a trip yourself."
Seeing Xu Damao's smiling face slowly turning into a bitter one, Su Wen went to move the elk happily.
