Hot pot was introduced to Jiangcheng County from Shancheng.

At first, the dock workers were tired from working and couldn't afford serious pork, so they bought some cheap offal that had gone bad, and put it all into the pot to cook.

The reason why the ingredients are put so heavily is because many cheap offal offal have some odor after being stored for a long time, so when cooking hot pot, aniseed ingredients are used to cover up the smell.

However, in the past few years, everyone's life has become better and better. Hot pot is not only a way for dock workers to solve their hunger, but also a way for many residents to gather and relax to relieve their fatigue.

The Jiangcheng Small Hot Pot restaurant had just opened. Lu Shanhe walked around inside and found that there were very few ingredients that could be used for hot pot.

Most of them are animal offal and some meat products, and the only vegetarian dishes are potatoes and tofu skin.

In Lu Shanhe's memory, from 83 to the mid-90s, there were more and more hot pot, Chinese food, and fast food shops on the streets.

People's diet also began to diversify.

Lu Shanhe plans to wait until September or October, after his quail chickens have bred, and the weather is cool, so he can sell quail eggs to these shops to see the effect.

And Lu Shanhe was not idle during this period. While hatching quail chickens, he also searched for memories of his previous work in a feed factory and tried out feed formulas.

As long as the feed formula is successfully formulated, all problems will be solved.

After leaving the hot pot restaurant, Lu Shanhe went to the Jiangcheng County police station and the commune police station to report the crime, telling the story about the man in black riding a motorcycle yesterday.

The police station's attitude was obviously better, but because there was no property damage or casualties, and there was no surveillance, the police only left Lu Shanhe's mailing address and contact information, and after making a record, Then he let Lu Shanhe leave.

Lu Shanhe was helpless about this problem. After all, the police did not have a God's perspective. They would trust their own professional judgment more than a villager's opinion on a certain matter.

Lu Shanhe gave one last chance, "This kind of crime is definitely committed on the fly, and it specifically targets women in towns and villages."

"Comrade, we all understand the situation you mentioned. But Jiangcheng County is so big, we still need time to verify the situation you mentioned."

Lu Shanhe felt that he was struggling to talk, but before the case happened, it was useless to talk more.

Even if this matter was told to Zhang Guodong or Wu Yong, the answer given by the police station would definitely be the same.

After Lu Shanhe thanked the police, he went to the commune to buy some materials for making feed formula and returned.

Tomorrow is the last day of Shen Wei's college entrance examination. Lu Shanhe is going to make up for the regrets from the last time and take Shen Wei to the National Restaurant for a good meal.

So the food delivery and delivery the next day were left to Li Erniu.

Early that morning, Li Erniu, Jiang Dawei and others followed Lu Shanhe's request and did not go door to door to collect vegetables.

Instead, he was waiting at Li Erniu's house for food to be delivered to his door.

Anyway, everyone in the production team knows that if the vegetables are delivered to Li Erniu's house before 6 o'clock every morning, Li Erniu can take all the orders.

You charge as much as you want. After 6 o'clock, Li Erniu will deliver the vegetables to the state-owned restaurant.

Who in the team doesn’t want to make an extra penny?

If the food is not delivered in time once or twice in a row, they will become anxious.

But something is strange today.

From 5 o'clock until 5:[-], no one brought the food.

In this situation yesterday, at least more than 100 kilograms of vegetables were collected one after another.

Li Erniu did not expect that today He Hongli, Wang Xiaolong and others were guarding the only way to Li Erniu's house.

Whenever a group of villagers came to deliver food, they would be stopped by He Hongli.

He Fangyuan, who has always cooperated well with Lu Shanhe, brought another basket of vegetables over today.

As a result, He Hongli was blocked in front.

"Uncle, what I mean is that recently my dad planned to deliver vegetables to the commune, but he couldn't receive the vegetables at all. It turns out that you sold all the vegetables to Li Erniu."

"My dad is the captain of the brigade. When he collects the vegetables, he works for the public. The commune guarantees the delivery of vegetables. You will not be deceived."

"Give this dish to Li Erniu, be careful, you won't get anything!"

When He Fangyuan and others heard what He Hongli said, they still felt a little guilty in their hearts.

But thinking that Li Erniu's price for collecting vegetables was much higher than that of the commune, he said to He Hongli: "Erniu is practical in his work. We all believe that he will not lie to us!"

When He Fangyuan said this, many villagers also cheered and said, "That's right, Erniu said that our food is given in cash, not on credit!"

As soon as these words came out, He Hongli was so angry!

He Hongli directly put down the harsh words, "Buying and selling privately is an act of speculation! You have forgotten the lessons learned by He Jialiang!"

He Jialiang was also from He Jialin in the Second Brigade. His wife died in childbirth after giving birth to a child. In the late 70s, he secretly sold his own pork to a dealer in the county town so that his child could have a few sips of milk.

As a result, both He Jialiang and the pork dealers in the county were sentenced, and the child also fell ill and died. He Jialiang was only released a few years ago. Seeing the destruction of his family, he himself went crazy.

As soon as He Hongli said that reselling was speculation, the people in the group who had deep memories of the 70s and [-]s were all silent for a while and did not dare to speak.

Seeing that he had the upper hand, He Hongli looked at He Fangyuan and said, "Uncle, the terraces are going to be flooded these days. My father is the captain of the production team."

“If someone’s family wasn’t growing food for the public good, this water would never see their fields!”

The ditches in the rice fields are connected to the rivers in the commune, and each production team has a simple gate.

As the captain of the production team, He Youcai has the right to open and close the gate, and also has the right to decide which household's rice is flooded and which household is not flooded, what is the order of releasing water for irrigation, etc.

This time is when the rice is blooming and filling, and the weather is extremely hot, so water from ditches needs to be diverted to flood the fields.

If He Youcai cuts off the water for everyone, that year's hard work will be in vain.

He Hongli sneered: "I will put my harsh words here today. If anyone in our commune dares to sell vegetables to Li Erniu, he will be in trouble with the entire commune!"

"When the time comes, whose rice fields will be in drought, and whoever is accused of speculation will be caught, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

Everyone whispered, but did not dare to take a step forward.

After all, He Youcai represents the public.

At that time, He Youcai was really offended. On the one hand, there was no water to irrigate the rice fields, resulting in a reduction in rice production. On the other hand, He Youcai asked everyone to pay more grain during the autumn harvest. It was a loss that outweighed the gain, and it was not something that a few vegetable dollars could make up for.

The most important thing is that He Jialiang has learned from the past. Everyone is still afraid of going to jail and being caught.

At this time, Li Erniu came out to check the situation. When everyone saw Li Erniu, they quickly lowered their heads, and then took the picked vegetables home one after another. They were going to send them to He Youcai to see if the commune needed them.

"Uncle He! You have brought all the food here, why are you leaving!" Li Erniu shouted anxiously.
