Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!
Chapter 115: Food shortage, the suffering of the soldiers
Director Yang's words were deeply engraved in He Yuzhu's mind.
Looks like someone is going to take action.
It's worth the time I've put in to do this.
Since those who want to cause trouble can't find a breakthrough, then take the initiative to expose the breakthrough to the other party.
Obviously, the other party thought he had caught him and couldn't wait to deal with him.
I can only say that the other party was too impatient.
This also shows that the other party will not be able to achieve anything significant.
He Yuzhu curled his lips and smiled, he thought of a military tactic that the ancients liked to use the most.
To lure the snake out of its hole.
However, we have to wait a little longer, the current timing is not right yet.
There is still a lack of east wind.
……
After get off work, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, washed off the dust and dirt, and put on a clean gray Zhongshan suit.
Although the fabric is not new, it has even turned a little white after washing.
But it is neat and clean.
When He Yuzhu wore it, he looked completely different.
"Brother Zhuzi, are you going out now? The rice in the pot is almost cooked. Do you want to eat something before you go?"
He Yuzhu straightened his collar, cuffs and hem in front of the mirror, then shook his head and said, "I ate at the factory. I have to go out for a while now. I should be back quite late. Don't wait for me tonight."
After He Yuzhu finished explaining, he walked out of the door carrying the black bag.
I ran into He Yushui who came in with stir-fried smoked pork liver.
The pork liver is pickled with wood, and it has a smoky and fragrant smell that makes you want to eat it just by smelling it.
Such a delicious smell whetted He Yuzhu's appetite, and he wanted to grab the pig liver with his five paws and eat it.
However, when he saw that he was wearing neat and clean clothes, and remembered that he was going to meet a senior leader, he quickly pulled back his hand that was about to touch him.
He Yuzhu avoided He Yushui and rushed out. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, his clothes would get dirty.
Seeing that he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat, He Yushui left in a hurry and asked Xu Xinyue in confusion.
"Sister-in-law, what is my brother doing?"
"He obviously wants to eat it, why are you in such a hurry?"
Xu Xinyue shook her head, "Your brother didn't tell me, so we don't care about him. I'll go call the old lady to come for dinner, and you and Meizi can bring the food over."
……
He Yuzhu knocked on the door of the big boss.
The big boss didn't make him wait for long.
He Yuzhu opened his mouth to exchange a few words with the big boss.
They were all stopped by the big boss, "Don't bother with those empty ceremonies, Xiao He, can you still get food?"
really.
The big boss came to him for food.
"how much do you need?"
"Of course the more the better. You may not know that after the three-year famine, even though one or two years have passed, there is still a food shortage."
"Especially in remote areas, ordinary people are on the verge of starvation."
"Do you know? The more than 20 kilograms of food yesterday saved thousands of lives."
Of course he knows!
The system had been ringing and telling him this last night.
"If you can get more food, it means more people are saved."
"This is a good thing that will benefit the people and the country. I will explain your righteous act to the higher-ups."
After the leader finished speaking, he stood up, clasped his hands together, and bent his waist slightly...
When He Yuzhu realized that the leader was saluting him, he quickly jumped up and dodged.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"I just did what I was supposed to do and fulfilled my obligations."
"Master, as a citizen of China, this is what I should do. I don't deserve such a great gift from you."
The big boss asked He Yuzhu to sit down, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "Xiao He, can you get some food?"
He Yuzhu did not give an immediate answer, his eyes flashed with complex emotions.
There is a sense of embarrassment in them, as if they are facing some kind of dilemma that is difficult to make a decision.
There is also a deep sadness, as if there is endless sorrow and helplessness hidden in my heart.
However, his eyes also revealed a desire to help and make a contribution.
This desire made his expression look particularly contradictory and entangled.
Of course, I did this on purpose.
The big boss saw all the changes in He Yuzhu's expression.
From the initial expectation, to sadness, and then to despair.
"Xiao He, is there nothing else?"
He Yuzhu immediately produced 20 bags, several thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes and corn, as well as fresh and juicy vegetables.
He thought that He Yuzhu should have channels.
Sure enough, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Basically all parts of China are in a state of food shortage, so where can we get so much food to help the people?
"Uh... I can't answer you now. I have to go back and ask my friend. He is still in Jing City."
"At the moment, food is in short supply and very expensive. My friend should be able to sell the 20-plus kilograms of food he bought earlier."
“But my friend said that we should follow the instructions from above and not engage in speculation or profit from the national crisis.”
"He found me and asked me to find a way to contact regular buyers. My friend hopes that the grain can be delivered to those who really need it."
"Rather than being taken away by... criminals for their own benefit, and then harming those who really need food."
He Yuzhu had thought about this wording many times on the way here.
Friends are fictitious.
The entanglement and dilemma are deductive.
He couldn't let the big boss think he could get food easily.
He wanted to let the top leaders know that food was not so easy to get.
I must not let the system expose the fertile space.
"Xiao He, your friend is very righteous." The big boss couldn't help but give a thumbs up after saying this.
Just think about it, given the current food shortage, it is impossible to buy rice at 5 cents per pound even if we collect it from farmers.
He investigated the purchase price of rice. The lowest was 1 cents and the highest was 2 cents.
Xiao He's friend's 20 tons of rice were sold at 5 cents per pound, so he must have lost money.
If Xiao He didn't care about the people struggling with hunger, he would not have sold it at such a low price or even at a loss.
A businessman who does not pursue profit is not a businessman.
Thinking of this, the boss became very curious about Xiao He's friend.
"Comrade Xiao He, would you mind asking your friend to meet me? I want to talk to him in person."
"Of course, we will buy his food at normal prices in the future. We can't let good people suffer losses and feel disappointed."
He Yuzhu: "..."
Where can he find a friend for himself?
Moreover, can the food produced in this space be given to outsiders?
He Yuzhu pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Boss, let me ask my friend first to see if he can get some food."
"Then I'll tell my friend about your wish to meet him, and we'll make arrangements then."
The big boss nodded, "Xiao He, you are very thoughtful."
"We must pay attention to the food problem. The current food supply is mainly to help the lower-income people and help them get through this cold winter."
"When the snow melts next spring and everything comes back to life, we can plant crops again."
"Xiao He, I still say the same thing. I will take as much food as you can get. Not only for the common people, but also for the soldiers guarding the border."
"Do you know? They have only eaten one meal a day for a month, eating hard black steamed bread, which makes the veins in their necks pop out from choking."
"In order to avoid choking, they ate a mouthful of steamed bread and a mouthful of white snow..."
The big boss did not see it with his own eyes, but his confidants brought back photos, although the photos were in black and white and very blurry.
However, after seeing the photos and hearing the truth from his confidants, he came up with the idea of using his own abilities to find food.
He Yuzhu listened to the great leader choking up as he described the hardships faced by the soldiers. He could imagine all the difficulties without having to see them with his own eyes.
Suddenly, he felt a lump in his throat, his eyes were sore, his heart was stuffy and painful, and his breathing became heavy.
His nose seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't breathe out, so he took a deep breath.
"Boss... I will go back and ask my friend. I will tell you as soon as I have any news."
The big boss nodded and wiped his eyes with a green handkerchief. "Xiao He, do you know how much the grain price is on the black market?"
