Chapter 1366: The Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce's massive purchases, from complacency to the defenseless Zhao Boss
After Li Liangwei left, Zhou Chunming also said goodbye to Chu Anmin. It was already past two o'clock, and they still had to return to the forest area.
Chu Anmin did not keep him and Zhao Jun any longer, but when Zhao Jun and the other man went downstairs, Chu Anmin followed them.
"Director Chu, how can we ask you to send us off?" Zhou Chunming was flattered and stopped immediately.
Chu Anmin gestured downstairs, and although Zhou Chunming didn't know what he was going to do, he went downstairs as well.
After reaching the first floor, Chu Anmin waved his hand to signal Zhao Jun and Zhou Chunming to follow him.
The three of them came to the reading room, and Chu Anmin gathered together the "RM Daily" and "Reference News" for the past half month of this year, and then handed them to Zhao Jun personally.
"Go back and study hard." Chu Anmin advised Zhao Jun. His expression and tone were exactly the same as those of high school class teachers who expect the top students in the class to get into Peking University or Tsinghua University.
Zhao Jun secretly complained in his heart, I haven't studied for many years, and I am still asked to read the newspaper? There are some rare characters in the newspaper, and I can't recognize them all. It's really too difficult.
But he was the leader, so Zhao Jun not only had to raise both hands to take the newspaper, but also had to thank Chu Anmin.
Chu Anmin raised his hand and patted Zhao Jun on the shoulder twice, as if he had high hopes for Zhao Jun. Zhou Chunming, who was standing by, was very envious.
After coming out of the Forestry Bureau office building, Zhao Jun and Zhou Chunming got in the car, and Han Genliang started the jeep and headed back.
When they returned to Yong'an Forest Area, it was almost five o'clock and it was dark outside.
"Go straight to Yongan." Zhou Chunming, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, said to Han Genliang, "Let's take Zhao Jun home first, and then we'll go home too."
At this time, Zhou Chunming decided not to go back to the forest farm. He would stay at home for a night and see his eldest grandson.
Twenty minutes later, the jeep stopped outside the Zhao family's courtyard.
Every time Zhou Chunming came to the Zhao family, he would take a second look at the big red lanterns and thousands of wintersweet flowers.
"Uncle." Zhao Jun didn't rush to get out of the car. He sat in the back seat and greeted Zhou Chunming in the front seat, saying, "Come in. We are home now."
"That's unbelievable." Zhou Chunming refused: "Your brother Han and I will go home directly."
Han Genliang's home is also in Yongshengtun, and his house and Zhou's house are the front and back yards.
"My brother Han is coming too." Zhao Jun took the opportunity to invite Han Genliang and said, "Let's have dinner at my house tonight."
"That's terrible, that's terrible." Zhou Chunming refused repeatedly. Firstly, he wanted to go home to see his grandson, and secondly, he was visiting his in-laws, and it would be embarrassing to go empty-handed.
Just as they were talking, Wang Meilan came out of the house after hearing the dog barking.
With the help of the big lantern hanging on the gate, Wang Meilan saw a jeep parked outside the yard. She was slightly startled and then walked out quickly.
Seeing his mother-in-law coming out, Zhou Chunming had to say hello. He hurriedly got out of the car and shouted, "Mother-in-law!"
"Oh, it's my in-laws!" Wang Meilan didn't expect Zhou Chunming to come down the mountain. Seeing her son coming down from behind, Wang Meilan asked, "In-laws, what did you do today?"
"Mother-in-law." Zhou Chunming said to Wang Meilan with a smile, "Your Xiaojun is really proud of us, isn't he?"
"What's the matter now?" Wang Meilan smiled happily when she heard that.
"Mom." Zhao Jun interrupted and called Wang Meilan, "It's so cold outside, let my uncle and Brother Han come in."
Zhou Chunming got off the car just now, and Han Genliang got off soon after. He wanted to say hello to Wang Meilan, but didn't talk to her.
"Nothing can happen." Wang Meilan hurriedly called Zhou Chunming and said, "My dear, please come into the house and warm up. We can eat here tonight."
"Oh my god, mother-in-law." Zhou Chunming declined, but Wang Meilan was too enthusiastic. At this time, Wang Qiang also came out of the house and forcibly pulled Zhou Chunming into the Zhao family's house.
Zhou Chunming found that every time he came to the Zhao family, their house was always full of people.
Those who go to work haven't returned yet, but the outer room, the fields and the east room are already full of people.
Especially in the outer room, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, Xie Sunshi and others were busy.
In the big pot, strips of dried sweet potato were bubbling with oil and sizzling as they were fried.
Today, Wang Meilan and her group returned with a full load. When they left, the 2,500 yuan in their money bag was not enough, so Wang Meilan took out more than 300 yuan from her pocket.
The reason for spending so much money was that they not only collected sixty-two fox skins and twenty-five gray skins.
We also collected 186 catties of dried small fish, 75 catties of dried mountain pears, 163 catties of dried string beans, 182 catties of dried eggplants, 76 catties of dried cucumbers,
Two hundred and twenty kilograms of dried potatoes, two hundred and eighty-five kilograms of dried sweet potatoes, two hundred and forty-two kilograms of dried large red radishes, four hundred and seventy-eight kilograms of dried green radishes, thirty-six kilograms of mountain fungus, fifty-eight kilograms of hazel mushrooms, one hundred and twenty-two kilograms of shiitake mushrooms, and one hundred and eighty-six kilograms of elm yellow mushrooms.
The Zhao family had almost all of these things before, but they had eaten them all. The only thing they didn't have was dried sweet potatoes.
There is a piece of yellow sandy land on the south slope at the foot of Xishan Mountain, where the people of Xishan Village plant a lot of sweet potatoes every year.
After the autumn harvest, they picked the big and good sweet potatoes and buried them in cellars, saving them for sale during the New Year.
As for the small sweet potatoes and those with irregular shapes, the people of Xishantun peel them, cut them into strips, steam them in a pot, and then dry them in the sun.
When eating, soak the dried sweet potatoes in clean water, blanch them in boiling water, put them in the pot and you can eat them as soon as the steam comes out.
The steamed dried sweet potatoes are soft on the outside and soft on the inside, and they are sweet and delicious.
For example, every household in Yong'an Village would buy frozen pears and frozen persimmons during the Spring Festival. The people in Xishan Village were poor, so during the Spring Festival, they would give their children dried sweet potatoes as snacks.
But after the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce's sweep, the children in Xishan Village will not be able to eat dried sweet potatoes during the Spring Festival this year. But now that they have money, they should be able to eat frozen pears and frozen persimmons.
People in Xishantun eat dried sweet potatoes by steaming them, but Wang Meilan thinks that is not tasty.
Wang Meilan grabbed a few handfuls of dried sweet potatoes and soaked them in water. After soaking, she scalded them with hot water and drained them after taking them out.
Since it is impossible to drain the water, put it directly into the cold oil pan. As the oil temperature rises, the water on the surface of the dried sweet potatoes will be fried dry.
The dried sweet potatoes became even more fragrant after being fried, and even Zhou Chunming couldn't help but eat a few more.
"My dear." Wang Meilan brought the brewed Mao Jian Duan over to Zhou Chunming, then said with a smile, "I have collected a lot of dried sweet potatoes today. I will give you a few pounds before you go home, and then I will ask my mother-in-law to fry them for my eldest grandson."
"Yeah, yeah, okay!" Zhou Chunming didn't hesitate, because this thing tasted really good.
"Han!" At this time, Wang Meilan handed Han Genliang tea and reminded him: "You should eat more too. It's like being at home here."
"Yes, auntie." Han Genliang smiled and asked casually, "Are these dried sweet potatoes sold in Xishantun?"
"Yes." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "I'm going today, but I'm going."
"What's wrong, Mom?" Zhao Jun felt something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "Aren't you going to collect the skins? What else are you buying?"
"Oh my." Wang Meilan raised her hand and gestured out the window, saying, "There are shredded beans and dried eggplants, all in a mess, about 2,000 kilograms."
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Zhou Chunming was shocked. He asked Wang Meilan, "You collected these, can you sell them for money?"
Zhou Chunming had heard Zhao Chun say that her mother wanted to do business, but he had never expected that Wang Meilan would accept anything.
This reminded Zhou Chunming of what Hu Sanmei had once told him: some people in the village were saying that Wang Meilan had the style of a ZCJ-level wealthy lady, and that her degree of squandering was no less than that of Wang Dabazhang in his heyday.
Zhao Jun looked at his mother and sighed silently. The people of Xishan Village had never seen money before, so they sold everything.
Northeastern people store autumn vegetables and dry vegetables to eat for five months of winter. They start storing autumn vegetables in October and eat them until around the Qingming Festival next year, when they can get some wild vegetables.
The people in Xishantun didn’t sell any dried vegetables. After the Chinese New Year, all their sauerkraut and cabbage were gone, so they had no more dried vegetables to eat.
Especially the dried green radish, which is used to mix with pickles after soaking, and the people in Xishantun even sell this. After the New Year, they eat porridge and big pancakes, not only without vegetables, but also without pickles.
But it's really not Wang Meilan's fault. Today, the people of Xishantun were so excited when they saw the money that they brought dried vegetables from their homes to exchange for money. Wang Meilan had no choice but to accept them.
"If we don't sell it, what's the point of selling it?" Facing her in-laws' questions, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "We'll keep it for ourselves to eat."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Jun, saying, "Next spring, Zhao Jun and Baoyu will come to do some work. Won't there be vegetables?"
"Ah..." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhou Chunming nodded. This was a sufficient reason.
At this time, there were sounds of dogs barking outside the house. It turned out that Zhao Youcai and others who were at work had returned.
Zhao Youcai entered the yard and wanted to get close to Erhei, but Wang Meilan instructed Li Dayong to call him back.
Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and others were talking to Zhou Chunming, and they inevitably asked what Zhou Chunming had led the Zhao army to do that day.
Zhou Chunming did not hide anything and recounted what happened after he went to the Forestry Bureau today.
He had already explained it to Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang and others when he first entered the house. When Zhou Chunming explained it again, Wang Meilan, who was directing the cooking of dinner in the outer room, could not help but come to the door again.
Her son made her so proud that after appearing on TV, he was now in the newspaper. Moreover, when facing the newspaper interview, Zhao Jun's answers were so perfect.
This made Wang Meilan determined that after she was done with these two busy days, she would go to the graves of her parents and parents-in-law to burn a few more pieces of paper.
After listening to Zhou Chunming's speech, Li Dayong, Li Dazhi and Lin Xiangshun praised Zhao Jun one after another.
As Zhao Jun's father, Zhao Youcai would be like Wang Po bragging if he praised his own son.
But at this moment, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun with pride and approval in his eyes, as if silently saying to Zhao Jun: "You are great, kid."
"Hey?" Suddenly, Li Dazhi saw the Reference News on the bed. Usually, the post office delivered newspapers to the forest farm, including Shanhe Daily and RM Daily, but not Reference News.
"Where did this newspaper come from?" Li Dazhi asked curiously.
Now I am at my in-laws’ home, having a family dinner, and everyone in the house is my own family.
Therefore, Zhou Chunming was not as serious as usual in the forest farm. He actively answered Li Dazhi's question and said, "That was given to Zhao Jun by Director Chu. Let Zhao Jun study hard."
"Oh my God!" Li Dayong looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said, "My nephew has made great progress. Director Chu thinks highly of us."
"Then what are you thinking about, Dayong?" Zhou Chunming continued, "The Chu Bureau is very powerful against the Zhao Army."
At this point, he chuckled and said, "If Zhao Jun wants to say something to Chu Bureau, that would be much better than me."
Hearing what Zhou Chunming said, Zhao Youcai laughed and said modestly on behalf of his son, "How can that be possible, relative. Among the forest farms under the Forestry Bureau, ours is one of the largest, right? If we go on truck transport next year, you will have to be transferred to the bureau."
What Zhao Youcai said was not related to what Zhou Chunming said, but he was praising his own in-laws, and he was praising them on behalf of his son.
But what Zhao Youcai didn't expect was that Zhou Chunming smiled and said to him, "Really, Youcai, you don't know. As soon as we got there today, Director Chu asked Zhao Jun how his work was going. If there was anything he needed, just tell him. By the way, he also mentioned you."
"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai was startled, holding the butt of Shi Lin's cigarette, and asked, "What did you mention about me?"
"Your son recommended you." Zhou Chunming said with a smile, "Xiaojun said that you went to Lingnan and got killed by that big claw. The brigade even gave you a bonus and a certificate."
When Zhou Chunming said this, Li Dazhi, Wang Qiang and others looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise. Zhao Youcai's trip to Lingnan to fight tigers was still kept secret and only a few people knew about it.
“Oh my.” Zhao Youcai smiled and waved his hands, saying, “That’s nothing, haha…”
Although he said it was nothing, Zhao Youcai's face was full of joy. When he looked at Zhao Jun with his small eyes, there was endless satisfaction in them.
This son is so good. He went to the director to brag about himself. He was so proud of himself.
"Brother, what happened a while ago?" Li Dayong pretended to be ignorant and asked Zhao Youcai, "Aren't you talking about those three big claws? How did you deal with it?"
Zhao Jun's mouth twitched when he heard that, but Zhao Youcai laughed and said, "What's the big deal? I'll go there and kill two of them with a few ding-bangs."
"Oh! Or you can say it's my big brother!" Li Dayong gave Zhao Youcai a thumbs up, and then said: "Big brother, isn't there another one?"
"That one got scared away, haha..." Zhao Youcai laughed, "It jumped out of the garden right away. Fortunately, it ran fast, otherwise it would have been finished!"
After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhou Chunming said, "It's said that a good father will have a good son. You two are both so capable."
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai was so proud.
But then Zhou Chunming said, "Today, Chief Li from the Security Department said that being a cook is a waste of your talent, and you should be assigned to work with Zhao Jun as a forestry security officer."
"Hmm?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he quickly winked at Li Dayong beside him.
The tacit understanding between the two brothers over the years made Li Dayong understand Zhao Youcai's meaning in seconds, and he said directly: "My eldest brother wants to work in forest protection, that's fine, but... there are no vacancies."
As he spoke, Li Dayong looked for Li Ruhai in the room.
At this time, Zhou Chunming said, "Whether there are vacancies or not, isn't that a matter of Xiaojun's words? Director Chu asked him today, if there are not enough people, just add a few more. Then Xiaojun said no, saying that the current number is enough."
After Zhou Chunming said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes changed again when he looked at his son.
I will update more tomorrow. One of our brothers named Xiaowei won the prize of Big Pants Crotch Liquor. I will send it to you when I go to the city in two days.
