"Brother Zhu, are you at home?"

"Brother Wang Zhong? Why are you here?" Hearing the sound, He Yuzhu immediately opened the door and walked out.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Won't you invite me to come in and sit for a while?"

"Look at me, come in, come in!" He Yuzhu hurriedly welcomed Wang Zhong in.

Wang Zhong didn't hide anything, and asked straight to the point when he entered the door: "Brother Zhu, I'm here to ask you, what are you going to give to Section Chief Qian tomorrow?"

"I'll give you cigarettes and wine!" He Yuzhu blurted out.

"Smoking and drinking are indeed good!" Wang Zhong nodded and said, "But the Personnel Administration Department is responsible for the personnel transfer in our factory. Brother Zhu, do you think Section Chief Qian lacks your smoking and drinking?"

"What do you mean?" He Yuzhu is not stupid. Hearing what Wang Zhong said, he immediately reacted.

"We must give away cigarettes and alcohol, but those who ask for money from the section chief to help with things are not sending cigarettes and alcohol. Rain is a big deal. We can't just give away cigarettes and alcohol, we have to show sincerity!"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and then said: "How about we give money?"

"Sending money would change the nature of it, it's definitely not okay!"

"Then what do you think I would like to give you?" He Yuzhu asked.

Wang Zhongdao: "Brother Zhu, what do you think Section Chief Qian's family lacks most?"

He Yuzhu thought for a while and said tentatively: "Food?"

Wang Zhongdao: "Even Xu Damao, a projectionist, usually eats fine grains. Do you think that for a cadre like Section Chief Qian, the family will be short of food?"

"That's true!" He Yuzhu said: "What is that?"

Wang Zhong said: "Meat!"

"Meat?" He Yuzhu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, except for chicken, duck and fish, other meat is supplied by ticket, and everyone has a monthly quota. Even if there is a pigeon market, there is no monthly quota."

No matter how much meat is sold, Section Chief Qian’s family is not short of food, clothing, or money, but it is definitely short of meat.”

"It's not just meat, it has to be good meat!" Wang Zhong said.

He Yuzhu said: "It's already at this point. If you want to get meat, you can only go to the pigeon market at night!"

"After all, meat is a precious thing. Apart from meat factories, it can only be obtained from the countryside. But there are so many unplanned pigs in the countryside!"

"If I can't buy meat, can I get a meat ticket?"

"Meat stamps are fine too!" Wang Zhong said: "Meat stamps are hard currency. Not to mention the section chief, even the factory director, the meat stamps are rationed every month. The more meat stamps, the better."

He Yuzhu finally had a smile on his face.

At night, He Yuzhu took advantage of the darkness, took the cloth bag, rode Wang Zhong's bicycle, and headed straight for the base of the city wall.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhong specially waited for He Yuzhu and went to the factory together.

"Brother Zhu, how many meat tickets did you get?" Wang Zhong asked in a low voice.

"Thirty-six pounds and four taels!" He Yuzhu said: "I bought the meat tickets from several bad guys!"

Wang Zhong was a little surprised: "It's not too much, it's not too much. If you add tobacco and alcohol, it should be about the same!"

He Yuzhu said: "Brother, time is too tight. I have tried my best to get so much."

Wang Zhong paused for a while and then said: "Brother Zhu, actually I have a classmate whose family has some connections in the meat factory. Do you want me to help you find some beef and mutton?"

"Okay!" He Yuzhu said: "Don't tell us, these thirty kilograms of meat tickets are too much for us, but in the eyes of those section chiefs and factory directors, it really doesn't matter. As far as their usual reception, it's not a big fish."

Big meat!”

He Yuzhu is also a sensible person.

Wang Zhongdao: "Brother Zhu, you have to think clearly. Rainwater may not be able to do this job. The meat tickets are okay. If Section Chief Qian doesn't accept them, he can return them to you, but the meat will be difficult to deal with!"

He Yuzhu said with a confident smile: "Brother, have you forgotten what my brother does?"

Wang Zhong suddenly said with a look of surprise on his face: "Why did I forget this? Well, I will call my classmate later and ask. If everything goes well, I will have a message at noon!"

"Brother, don't worry, no matter whether the rain works or not, I will always thank you!"

At noon, after dinner, Wang Zhong came to the canteen. In the back kitchen of the canteen, everyone else was busy working back and forth. He Yuzhu was sitting on a chair, with his legs crossed and a big teapot in his hand, leisurely and comfortable.

.

"Brother Zhu!"

"Brother!" When He Yuzhu saw it was Wang Zhong, a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and walked out, leading Wang Zhong to a deserted place next to him.

"Brother, how's it going?"

After looking around for a long time, He Yuzhu asked excitedly.

Wang Zhongdao: "Good news, my classmate said that there is a batch of beef that has just been delivered today, and some of it can be distributed, but the price is..."

"Beef?" He Yuzhu's eyes lit up instantly. Cows are large-scale production tools. Even in the city, you can't easily eat beef. Although beef is not as fat as pork, its texture and taste are not comparable to pork.

.

"This is good stuff!" He Yuzhu is a cook himself, so he naturally knows the difference: "Now that we can get beef, it is normal that the price is higher!"

Wang Zhong said: "Two yuan and a pound, and I have to make up for half of the meat stamps!"

Hearing the price, He Yuzhu's face immediately showed embarrassment: "The key point is that I don't have that many meat tickets!"

Wang Zhong said: "I still have some meat tickets, but not that many. How about you go to the uncle and borrow them?"

"It's already now, is it still too late?" He Yuzhu asked worriedly.

"What's the big deal? Let's take two or three kilograms over today and let Section Chief Qian take a look. If Section Chief Qian likes it, we can get some more from my classmates tomorrow and send them to his home.

, is it not better than you just carrying ten or twenty kilograms of meat from east to west?"

He Yuzhu thought about it carefully and realized that it really made sense. He immediately said: "I'll go find the uncle right now and go to the pigeon market for a walk in the evening! I don't believe it. You can't get anything if you have money."

In the evening, Dong Laishun, He Yuzhu led He Yuyu, and Wang Zhong accompanied him.

No matter how you say it, Wang Zhong is an old man who has experienced many dungeon worlds, and he has been dealing with his father-in-law, Sheng Hong, for decades in Zhifou. Dealing with Section Chief Qian is not something he can easily do. He Yuzhu also has

Knowing that he had a bad mouth, he would not greet him, so he just echoed from the side and followed Wang Zhong's words.

After the meal, Section Chief Qian and Lao Xu drank happily, and the smiles on their faces did not break during the whole meal. Before leaving, Wang Zhong did not forget to stuff the two kilograms of beef and a ball of meat stamps into Section Qian.

The chief held his hand and said in a low voice: "This is the beef that Master He has worked so hard to get. Chief Qian, please take it back and taste it. If you think it's good, wait until Master He's sister works tomorrow."

Master He will send another twenty pounds to your home!"

"Beef? Twenty pounds?" Section Chief Qian trembled. He had sobered up for a few minutes. He looked at the tightly wrapped oil paper bag in his hand and the meat stamp wrapped in cotton cloth, and opened it.

As soon as he saw it, the joy on his face flashed away.

Such a stack of meat tickets weighs at least twenty or thirty kilograms, plus another twenty kilograms of beef tomorrow!

hiss!

Rao was Section Chief Qian, so he couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Beef is not as good as pork. Section Chief Qian is a section-level cadre of a steel rolling mill. He is not too big or small, but he only manages one-third of an acre of the steel rolling mill. After leaving the steel rolling mill, his department

Being tall may not bring you much face.

It's okay to get some pork, but it's difficult to get beef and mutton, especially beef. Although the country is now trying to popularize mechanical farming to replace the most primitive cattle farming, the current environment is like this, and cattle are still not available in rural areas.

Indispensable production tools.

Except for the supply of beef and mutton from time to time over the grassland, beef is usually nowhere to be seen. Twenty pounds of beef is a good thing if you get it, whether you eat it yourself or give it to the leaders above.

Even if you have money, you may not be able to get good things.

Seemingly reading what Section Chief Qian was thinking, Wang Zhong explained with a smile: "Master He is one of the best chefs in our steel rolling mill. As you know, Section Chief Qian, the meals our factory hosts on weekdays are...

If it's something else that Master He cooks, Master He may not be able to get it, but if it's related to food, there's always some way."

Section Chief Qian had a smile on his face: "What Xiao Wang is talking about is, Master He's craftsmanship is definitely unparalleled!"

"We are short of a clerk in the administrative department. Master He, you can bring your sister to the factory tomorrow and come directly to our human resources department!" Section Chief Qian immediately patted his chest and said.

"Thank you, Section Chief Qian, thank you, Section Chief Qian!" After receiving Section Chief Qian's accurate words, He Yuzhu's face instantly showed a smile of surprise.

Chief Qian got benefits, Lao Xu gained face, Wang Zhong got favors from He Yuzhu, and He Yuzhu found a job for his sister. Each of the four gained something, had enough food and wine, and left Dong Laishun happily.

While walking out, Wang Zhong said: "Section Chief Qian, I heard that your son is almost 20 years old, so he is going to find the right person to get married soon!"

"You haven't even written your horoscope yet!"

"Section Chief, you must be humble. Your young master is a talented young man, a salesperson who is one of the Eighteenth National Congress, and you are taking care of him. If those good girls don't rush over to you, you are just waiting to eat your daughter-in-law's respect.

The tea bar!”

These words directly spoke to Section Chief Qian's heart, but he still said modestly: "It would be great if that boy is really so up to date!"

Wang Zhong continued: "Master He doesn't know anything else, but with this skill in cooking, apart from those master chefs who cook state banquets, there are not many people in Beiping. If you can use it by then, Master He

We will be there at any time and we will keep it to your satisfaction.”

Lao Xu next to him also helped: "Old Qian, don't tell me, we can't find anyone with Master He's skills in the entire steel rolling mill!"

As he spoke, he also winked at He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu was not stupid and quickly expressed his position: "Chief Qian, as long as you say a word, I will hit wherever you point, without any ambiguity!"
