Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

"Who is this? They actually asked the factory director to come out and give the order in person."

Director Wang looked around, then took Wang Jianjun to the outside of the warehouse and whispered:

“Has Lou Bancheng heard of it?”

"Everyone knows Lou Bancheng. Our factory used to belong to him. So, is it Lou Bancheng that the factory wants to hire this time?"

Director Wang nodded and said:

"After the public-private partnership, Lou Bancheng rarely came to the factory. This time the factory director specially invited him to come."

Then he lowered his voice and continued:

"I heard that we invited him this time because we have something to ask of him, so the factory's hospitality requirements are very high this time."

"Director, since you have such high requirements, why don't you take them to Hongbinlou or Fengzeyuan for dinner? The dishes served there are no worse than those in our cafeteria."

Director Wang smiled bitterly:

"It would be great if it were that simple. The key is that besides our steel mill, leaders from several other factories will be coming this time. We will have to set up at least three or four tables. Eating outside is not convenient and does not conform to the rules."

Wang Jianjun asked curiously:

"What exactly is going on? Why is it so grand?"

Director Wang shook his head and said:

"How would I know? I'm just a small purchasing director. It's not my turn to get involved in such a big matter."

Wang Jianjun helplessly spread his hands and said:

"Director, it's not that I don't want to help. But I'm just an ordinary buyer. Who is Lou Bancheng? He must have eaten all kinds of delicious food. I'm afraid the things our buyers buy won't be to his liking."

Director Wang also wondered:

"Then what do you think we should do? The factory manager has spoken. If I don't do it well, I will be scolded to death by my boss."

Seeing Director Wang's embarrassed look, Wang Jianjun felt that he should help a little. After all, his leader always took good care of him.

He scanned the space to see if there was anything good.

When he saw the wild goats and sika deer in the back mountain, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Director, how about this? I'll go back to the countryside these few days and ask the villagers to go to the mountains to see if we can get some game.

Anyway, Lou Bancheng has eaten all kinds of delicious food, so let's get him some game to try."

Director Wang was a little hesitant when he heard Wang Jianjun's words:

"Jianjun, is this possible?"

Wang Jianjun said helplessly:

"Then Director, can you get the ingredients like abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, and bird's nest?"

"How is that possible!"

"That's it. We can't make anything good anyway, so we might as well make something new and unique. This way it can be considered unique."

Director Wang hesitated for a while and finally gritted his teeth and said;

"Okay! Jianjun, this is hard work for you. Go to the countryside more often these days. I will apply for more reimbursement for you."

"No problem, Director. Leave it to me."

After confirming the reception time with Director Wang, Wang Jianjun returned to the courtyard first.

Since you have promised the other party, you naturally have to get things done.

Wang Jianjun took a look at the game in the space.

There are twelve deer and eleven wild goats in the back mountain.

Some time ago, two deer each gave birth to a fawn, and now two more deer are pregnant.

The same is true for wild goats, which have already begun to reproduce.

Under the micromanipulation of space, all newborn deer and wild goats are female.

Even the pregnant cow was pregnant with a cow.

In order to expand the tribe as quickly as possible in the early stages, Wang Jianjun could only selectively control gender.

From these game, I picked out a relatively thin deer and a wild goat, as well as a roe deer, which I would prepare to hand in as a task in two days.

With these things, I think Director Wang should be able to complete his task.

Back at the courtyard, Wang Jianjun had just entered the house.

Liu Guangtian came running over and knocked on the door.

"Jianjun, there will be a whole hospital meeting tonight! My dad asked me to inform you."

"Did you say anything?"

"Just now, Shazhu and Xu Damao had a fight in the courtyard, and Xu Damao was beaten badly! Xu Damao's father asked for a meeting of the whole courtyard to deal with this matter."

Liu Guangtian said excitedly.

Wang Jianjun was speechless. Why should we hold a meeting of the whole institute for this matter?

Xu Damao and Sha Zhu often fought in the yard.

And every time, Shazhu wins.

Every time Xu Damao was beaten, he would find ways to retaliate, but I never saw him ask for a meeting of the entire school.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go over there tonight."

Since he is not the protagonist of this institute-wide meeting, Wang Jianjun plans to join in the fun later.

Flashing into the space, Wang Jianjun made a fire and cooked himself a big pot of rice.

Then he picked two pig's trotters from the space and braised them.

There are still a lot of pigs that were slaughtered when my second uncle got married that have not been eaten, so I just used them to cook today.

The pig's trotters were very soft after being braised for two hours.

Chop the pig's trotters into small pieces and place them on a bowl of rice.

Pour some more marinade and a larger serving of pork trotter rice is ready.

As soon as he took a bite of the pork trotter rice, Wang Jianjun felt extremely satisfied.

After traveling through time for several months, I can finally eat rice.

Northerners probably cannot understand the pain of a southerner like him who has to eat steamed buns for several months in a row.

A mouthful of rice is the best comfort to his stomach.

When I was a social animal, I couldn’t even bear to order a bowl of pork trotter rice for takeout.

Now just make yourself a super super super large portion.

Wang Jianjun now has a big appetite. He can eat up a soup bowl filled with rice and braised pig's trotters.

After dinner, I cut a piece of watermelon and carried a small stool to the central courtyard to eat the watermelon.

When Wang Jianjun arrived, quite a few people had already arrived at the Intermediate Court.

This meeting only required at least one person from each family to attend, so there were only about forty people present.

As usual, the three uncles sat at the square table.

As for the protagonists of the conference, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were also present.

Wang Jianjun glanced at Xu Damao.

Good man, no wonder he asked for a meeting of the whole school.

Xu Damao had a bruised face and nose, and a bandage on his forehead. The bandage was red and obviously he was bleeding.

Sha Zhu was really ruthless this time, and even blood was drawn.

Look at Shazhu on the other side, nothing happened but he looks angry.

He is so arrogant even after beating someone up. He must be a fool.

This time the conference was hosted by an old man again.

The old man briefly explained what happened.

It turned out that gossip between Sha Zhu and Liu Yuhua had been circulating in the factory for some time.

Sha Zhu had no good impression of Liu Yuhua in the first place, so he was naturally very angry when someone spread rumors about this matter.

After some inquiries, I found out that it was Xu Damao who spread the rumor.

I happened to come back today and heard Xu Damao talking about him and Liu Yuhua.

Sha Zhu was angry and attacked Xu Damao without saying a word.

At that time, Xu Damao was in the front yard boasting to Yan Jiecheng about his marriage with the Lou family, and mocking Sha Zhu at the same time.

Then he was beaten.

And this time the beating was quite harsh.

The head was broken and bleeding.

When Xu Fugui found out that his son was beaten, he came to find Sha Zhu to argue.

Then, in order to ease the relationship with Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai jumped out and tried to smooth things over, saying that Xu Damao spread the rumors first and Sha Zhu retaliated later.

I'm going to ask Sha Zhu to pay a few dollars for medical expenses.

Xu Fugui naturally refused to do this, as his son was beaten until he bled.

You just give a few dollars to the beggar!

Xu Fugui is still in the courtyard, and he certainly can't just stand by and watch Sha Zhu bully his son.

Do you really think that Xu Fugui is easy to bully?
