Men and women eating in the courtyard

"So expensive?"

Before Li Xuewu spoke, Ji Weidong spoke first, frowning and squatting down to touch the blanket on the stall with his hand.

“Not machine knitted”

Li Xuewu explained with a smile: "This is knitted by hand."

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, the bearded man sitting inside gave Li Xuewu a thumbs up gesture.

"That's a bit expensive, isn't it just something you can put on your feet?"

Li Xuewu smiled, signaled to the stall owner, and took Ji Weidong to the next stall.

This kid's thinking is the typical practical thinking of this era, and he basically doesn't consider anything else.

If this carpet was left in later generations, few people would actually use it to pave the floor, and more often it would be hung on the wall as a decoration.

A few people strolled around and looked at the beautifully made copperware, cowhide products, sheepskin products, and especially fine lambskin products.

Ji Weidong didn't mind the price of the sheepskin coat when he saw it, so he just paid for it and bought one.

The two officers who followed also did the same.

Because it’s so cold outside in Wucheng, so cold.

Li Xuewu was wearing fur clothes, so he didn't look at the big items. Instead, he picked leather gloves made of lambskin.

What he picked was not just one thing, but a bunch, at least in Ji Weidong's opinion.

Li Xuewu's brain is really amazing. He can remember the size of his family's hands, the size of his good friends' hands, and the size of his good girlfriends' hands.

So when choosing, just compare the size of your palms to know which one to choose.

“The raisins are good”

Ji Weidong pinched one, put it in his mouth and tasted it, then looked at the bearded man staring at him and said, "It's ten yuan."

Hearing this, the bearded man instantly stopped his hostility and weighed him in with a smile.

There is no such thing as a taste-before-you-buy approach in this market, and if it doesn’t taste good, you don’t have to pay for it.

So if it weren't for Li Xuewu and the others, Ji Weidong would have caused trouble again today.

He just has this temper, and it's not directed at anyone, but at the people here who are ordinary people.

Li Xuewu knew that the raisins here were good and he had bought a lot of them at the Erken Market.

But there are only so many. In the upcoming transactions, the proportion of raisins will not be lower.

"We came at the wrong time, the apples here are delicious."

Li Xuewu said something to Ji Weidong, telling him not to touch the apples on the stall.

According to this young master's temper, if the apple is not delicious, he will definitely not buy it.

Although this place is not as developed and wealthy as the mainland, it is really rich in products.

Dried fruits, jade carvings, silk, Chinese medicinal materials, etc. If we can really reach trade cooperation with this country, the size of the steel rolling mill may increase dramatically.

Of course, this depends on this year's form. If we can keep this plan, then development is inevitable.

Since it is called Bazaar, there is livestock trading in this market.

Li Xuewu turned around specifically. The price of live animals was already as low as cabbage, but the meat sellers were still very disciplined.

Ji Weidong was playing with the Yingjisha knife he had just bought. Seeing Li Xuewu in Xiangma, he couldn't help but asked in amusement: "Do you still have this skill?"

Li Xuewu curled his lips and asked, "You haven't forgotten that we have a horse, right?"

"Hey!"

Ji Weidong slapped his forehead and said, "How could I forget this?"

As he spoke, he followed Li Xuewu's example and looked at the tall horse tied to the pillar.

"How do you look at this thing?"

"See with your eyes"

Li Xuewu retorted casually and turned to look at the wool.

"I still don't know how to see with my eyes!"

Ji Weidong spat and followed Li Xuewu to look at the wool like a dog-legger.

"Do you know this stuff?"

Ji Weidong looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Do you have sheep at home?"

“We don’t have pigs at home yet, and it doesn’t stop me from eating pork.”

Li Xuewu was really annoyed by this stubborn guy. If it wasn't for his identity, he would have kicked him aside.

Ji Weidong was not upset after hearing Li Xuewu's words. When we went out to play together, whoever took it seriously first would lose.

This rule is the same for men and women.

So the more Li Xuewu annoys him like this, the more he will follow Li Xuewu and tease him.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Li Xuewu looking left and right, asking questions about everything but buying nothing, Ji Weidong asked.

Li Xuewu touched the silk on the ground and said: "Look at the market situation and ask them if they will stop talking and give you a good price."

Ji Weidong said with a smile: "It seems that you are really going to do big business. You are doing market research here."

Li Xuewu also knew that as long as he kept this kid with him, he would not be able to hide it, so he had no intention of hiding it.

He can't hide what he should know, and he can't understand what he shouldn't know.

After walking around for a while, the two of them arrived at noon. By now, there were far fewer people in the market because it was already dinner time.

"Let's go eat too, we're all hungry after walking around."

Ji Weidong touched his belly, looked at his watch, and asked Li Xuewu to eat.

Li Xuewu glanced at the Afanti who were eating rice with their hands, and knew that Ji Weidong must have seen that they were enjoying their meal.

"It just hurts when you see someone else pooping."

As he spoke, he led a few people out. Although the place was full of fireworks, Li Xuewu still didn't like eating in this environment.

After leaving the market, it is a normal street market. Walking along the Erdaoqiao Grand Bazaar, you will see several local restaurants.

"What to eat?"

Li Xuewu turned his head and looked at Ji Weidong and said: "You have worked hard today, I will treat you to this meal."

"Do you still need to be polite?"

Ji Weidong stared at the small blackboard outside the restaurant and muttered: "Come out with you, who will treat you if not you~"

As he spoke, he recited the names of the dishes on the blackboard: "Pilaf rice, barbecue, meatball soup, fried pork noodles, finger meat, roasted whole lamb, lamb chops, beef tendons, beef offal, naan pit meat, Stuffed skin, braised mutton pancakes...".

When the names of the dishes were announced, several people behind him drooled and Li Xuewu grinned.

But if this kid catches him, he might bleed heavily today.

"Hey!"

Ji Weidong pointed to a restaurant and said, "Let's go eat a big plate of chicken!"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows, wanting to tease him, but looking at the child's innocent appearance, it was better not to cause trouble.

"Let's go! Just eat this!"

Li Xuewu waved his hand and led a few people to the restaurant.

The restaurants here are also very unique, and the decorations inside are more fancy than those in the mainland.

However, the tables, chairs and benches are still the same. After all, this is a public restaurant, so they all look the same.

The waiters at the restaurant saw that Li Xuewu and the others didn't look like locals, and there were so many of them, so they arranged them in a corner position.

It’s not that they are discriminating against Li Xuewu and the others, but that the understanding and communication between ethnic groups at this time was still not as transparent as in later generations.

Arranged on one side to be able to eat with peace of mind and convenience.

Li Xuewu and the others were all young men, so they really didn't care about this and allowed Ji Weidong to order first.

Despite what this guy said at the door, he only ordered a large plate of chicken after he came in, and then ordered other staple dishes.

Li Xuewu asked the driver and the two officers to take charge. They were all a little embarrassed.

"Let's go out for a trip, but we can't let ourselves be ruined."

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "If there are no taboos, then I will order it."

As he spoke, he glanced at a few people, and then asked the waiter for lamb chops, finger meat, beef tendons and meatball soup.

This can be regarded as the standard of four dishes and one soup.

Several people couldn't help laughing when they saw that the food Li Xuewu ordered was tough.

This was not over yet. Li Xuewu took out another bottle of wine from his arms and said to several people: "I have nothing to do today, just wandering around. Let's drink this bottle to warm ourselves up."

As soon as he took out the wine, the waiter and the surrounding guests all glanced at him.

Drinking and smoking are not allowed in the hotel here.

But this kind of custom is only found in ethnic restaurants. Li Xuewu had chosen this restaurant before he came in. It was a public restaurant that would receive guests from all walks of life.

The driver was a little hesitant, but the two officers from the investigation department looked pleased.

Even though I walked around all morning, my body was still cold.

It has nothing to do with exercise, it’s just that it’s cold today.

These people smiled and took Li Xuewu's bottle and rushed to pour wine. Ji Weidong, who was sitting aside, said he didn't want to drink anything.

"Are you still afraid that I will harm you?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "Drinking some wine in this cold weather will warm your bones and is good for your health."

Ji Weidong curled his lips and said, "It's better for my health if I don't drink your wine!"

Of course Li Xuewu knew that Ji Weidong was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

"Don't worry, this wine is not medicinal wine."

“No, I won’t drink either.”

Even if Ji Weidong believed that a toad could sing, he didn't believe that Li Xuewu could tell the truth.

"I'll fall down if I don't drink it. It's so watery that I'll give it to you to drink!"

Li Xuewu picked up the wine glass and said to the other people: "Come on, let's have a drink. If the children don't want to drink, then we can't drink."

After squeezing Ji Weidong, Li Xuewu and others drank the wine with a smile, and started eating the meat that was served.

In fact, it means eating fresh. The processing of mutton and beef here is not as refined as that in Beijing.

But even with this kind of craftsmanship, these people were very satisfied.

Meat is too difficult to get at this time. Starting from the year before last year, meat tickets have basically been stopped.

It is said that it will be reduced from three taels to two taels per month, but you have to buy it if you have a ticket.

Eggs and meat are basically skewed towards the young and sick, and can only be purchased by pregnant women and sick people.

Every day in the supply and marketing cooperative is like a sports meeting, whoever has the ability is ranked first.

Li Xuewu also chose a large plate of chicken and ate two more bites. The preparation here was indeed delicious.

The chicken is so tender that it's juicy, the soup is salty and slightly spicy, and paired with the steamed pancakes, it's a mouth-watering meal.

While several people were eating, many people came to the restaurant one after another.

Some asked about the price and then went out.

If nothing else, the naan in this restaurant is a penny more expensive than the ones in the market. Who can take advantage of this?

That is to say, they are salesmen or cadres who work in the market, or they are here on a business trip and stop here to buy specialties.

There are few people like Li Xuewu and others who are idle and eating and drinking.

Sitting at the table next to Li Xuewu and the others were two men and one woman, who sounded like officials from the shopping mall opposite.

Li Xuewu didn't pay attention to them at first, until they talked about the snow disaster.

"Has it been a few days since Lao Liu went to Altai?"

"No!"

Hearing the female colleague ask, the tall and thin man nodded and said, "We also said that we are bringing a batch of livestock back. Looking at the snow outside, I can't tell when."

Another short man shook his head and said: "His lover is over there, so he used this as an excuse to go home and see if Xueda took advantage of him."

Hearing what this person said, the female colleague across from me smiled and then said: "I can't even sell the meat in stock. The boss has put down so many tasks and asked me to pick up the meat. How to deal with this~"

"Oh, how to deal with it, there is no way to deal with it"

The short man said: "We didn't set the price. By the time they finish studying it, summer will be over."

"Hey, there are millions of animals, the mouth is too big."

This short man was obviously a cadre. He took off his sheepskin coat and was wearing a tunic suit with pockets.

At this time, he also sighed and said: "The superiors will not let it be processed on site, and it will not be allowed to be processed in other places. How many people do we have here, and how many can afford to eat meat?"

This is indeed true. On their table is a piece of naan and a bowl of mutton soup in front of each person.

There is indeed a problem with economic allocation at this time, because the supply and marketing cooperatives are the departments responsible for unified purchasing and marketing, so most of the pressure will be placed on them.

There is a big difference between commodity pricing and the actual market price. Sometimes the price of an item does not change for seven or eight years.

Ji Weidong spat out the bones in his mouth and raised his eyebrows at Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu did not nod.

While I was listening, a woman carrying a backpack came through the door, with a child in her hand.

Not to mention what the woman was wearing, the child's clothes can be said to have patches piled on top of each other, small patches on top of big patches.

"Comrade, I want a piece of naan, and I'll give you a bowl of hot water."

As she spoke, she seemed to be afraid that the waiter would dislike her. She took the child's little hand and said, "It's too cold outside and the child can't stand it."

The waiter didn't say anything. There was no such thing as being disheveled at this time, so he frowned and issued a ticket.

The woman also rummaged through her clothes and pulled out a food stamp and money, and eagerly handed them to the waiter.

Perhaps the waiter was a little impatient, so he grabbed the money from the woman's hand and turned around to go back.

Li Xuewu was facing them sideways, so he saw this scene clearly.

He didn't pay attention to the woman's embarrassment, but looked at the child with a slightly red face.

The child may have also seen someone looking at him, and he hid shyly next to his mother's legs.

The woman trembled and took the hot water in her rice bowl, took a sip for herself, and then fed the child little by little.

The waiter put the naan on a plate and brought it to the table. He warned: "There are many people here at noon, so you can't linger after eating."

"I know, I know"

The woman quickly responded, then tore open the naan and soaked it in hot water to feed the child.

Although the child was hiding, his eyes were always aimed at Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled and waved to the child.

The child shyly turned his head and raised his face to eat the naan given by his mother.

At this moment, Ji Weidong also noticed Li Xuewu's movements, turned to look at the mother and son, and then looked at Li Xuewu.

"you know?"

"do not know"

Li Xuewu turned to the frightened woman and asked, "Where did the elder sister come from?"

The woman didn't expect that Li Xuewu would ask her, especially since the difference between the two people's clothes could be seen.

Because he came out with a mission this time, Li Xuewu wore a Chinese tunic suit inside.

It's warm in this restaurant, and taking off the fur clothes outside can reveal his status as a cadre.

"Tota... from Tacheng"

The woman responded, then hugged the child, not knowing whether to look at Li Xuewu or not.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "I'd like to ask you something. Is the road from Tacheng to here easy?"

When the woman heard that Li Xuewu was asking for directions, she was no longer so afraid.

At this moment, he shook his head and said: "I came to see a doctor with my man. The company's car will take him for a while, and we will walk for a while."

At this point, the woman's voice was choked with sobs. She took a breath and continued: "The heavy snow has blocked the roads and no cars can get through."

"Oh? Really!"

Li Xuewu frowned and asked, "So you are a ranch employee?"

"Yes, my wife and I are both employees of Shuanghezi Ranch."

The woman touched the child's head and took a sip of hot water.

Li Xuewu patted Ji Weidong's arm next to him and motioned for him to give up his position.

Then he said to the woman: "Sister, if it's convenient, come sit at the same table with us and eat. I just want to ask you something."

“Nothing can happen”

The woman waved her hand and said, "Comrade, if you have anything to ask, we...we..."

As she said this, the child in her arms looked at the food on Li Xuewu's table.

This table has the best food in this restaurant, including wine and meat.

Ji Weidong stood up and moved to sit next to his colleague.

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Sit over here. We are all from the mainland and are here to do business. Asking for directions will save you a lot of trouble."

The woman knew she had met a good man. When she lowered her head and saw the son beside her legs holding his fingers in his mouth and looking over there, she knew what the child was thinking.

"Thank you...thank you"

The woman took the plate and sat on the seat given by Ji Weidong.

"Haha, thank you, let's help each other with something."

Li Xuewu helped put the child on the stool, then scooped two bowls of meatball soup and placed them in front of their mother and son.

"thanks, thanks"

The woman kept saying thank you, Li Xuewu smiled and waved his hand, and then drank a drink with the few people watching here.

Mainly because the woman and the child were so overwhelmed by the sight of these people that they couldn't even eat.

Li Xuewu did not ask questions as soon as he came up, and ignored the mother and son. Instead, he followed Ji Weidong and others to talk about where to go shopping later.

The driver had been a soldier here for many years and was quite familiar with it. He recommended several places to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu didn't have much interest in things like Red Mountain and Demon Mountain.

During this period, the mother and son were given meat in front of them several times, but they didn't show much concern.

Ji Weidong and others also saw what Li Xuewu meant. Although they were almost finished eating, they did not put down their chopsticks and kept chatting with their wine glasses.

It wasn't until the mother and son finished their meal and saw that Li Xuewu hadn't asked any questions that they took the initiative to speak.

"Comrade, thank you"

The woman stretched out her hand to wipe her son's mouth, looked at Li Xuewu sheepishly and said, "His father died before he got here. We have been hungry all day. Thank you very much."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, I really have a question to ask you."

As he spoke, he dipped his finger into the wine in the glass and ordered four places on the table.

"Yili, Tacheng, Aletai, this is Wucheng"

Li Xuewu looked at the woman and asked, "Are there any railways from these three places to Wucheng?"

"No"

The woman shook her head and said, "Even the highway was built later and is not easy to walk on."

"oh oh"

Li Xuewu frowned and asked, "Didn't the pasture suffer a lot from the snow disaster this time? How were the animals treated?"

Hearing Li Xuewu ask this, the three people eating beside them all looked over.

The woman wiped away her tears and said: "Big, why not big? They died in batches. The dead are buried in the snow, waiting for treatment from above."

After speaking, he calmed down his emotions and then said: "The living animals are barely making a living. There is not enough fodder in the farm, so we can only eat the small and strong ones."

Li Xuewu nodded. This is a matter of natural selection and cannot be helped.

When he arrived, Li Xuewu realized that the disasters in Hami and other places were not the biggest, but the places mentioned just now.

And those three places are precisely where the border pastures are most concentrated.

Both Li Huaide and him were too optimistic and did not consider the actual situation here.

"Let's go back"

Seeing that the mother and son had finished eating, Li Xuewu said something to Ji Weidong and others, then stood up and left.

He is going back to find Li Huaide now. I believe Li Huaide is also looking for him at this moment.

The three cadres sitting there looked at Li Xuewu and his group leaving in a hurry, and they were all still talking with their heads down about what this group of people were doing.

The mother and son, with tears in their eyes, asked the waiter for parchment paper, and left the naan and meat buns that Li Xuewu and the others had deliberately left for them.

The waiter also understood what Li Xuewu meant, and he noticed it from the very beginning when he invited the mother and son to have dinner together.

At this moment, he took the initiative to help wrap the meat and refill the woman's water bottle with hot water.

Li Xuewu never takes the initiative to change other people's life trajectories, he does things according to his heart.

Whether it is good or bad, it depends on the cause and not on the effect. It is the heart that does small good deeds.

As for doing great good deeds, even Bodhisattvas can't do the things that poor people do. How virtuous and capable is Li Xuewu?

He heard two sets of news from the market, and he knew that Li Huaide was going to make a move.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the guest house, Jin Yaohui came out of the lobby and walked quickly in front of Li Xuewu and others.

"The leader is looking for you, it's urgent."

"I know"

Li Xuewu calmly waved his hand to Jin Yaohui to reassure him, and then led several people upstairs.

He walked to the door of the room and knocked on the door. He opened the door and walked in without waiting for Li Huaide to speak.

Ji Weidong and others went back to their rooms. They could not participate in such an occasion.

"lead"

"where have you been?"

Li Huaide frowned and glanced at Li Xuewu, then waved to Li Xuewu to sit down.

Li Xuewu also frowned and walked that way and said: "I went to check the market. The problem is a bit serious."

"oh?"

Li Huaide was shocked and asked, "What happened to the market?"

“A bit chaotic”

Li Xuewu looked at Li Huaide and explained: "The market price has not changed. You can buy whatever you want in the city, but the inventory in the market is both high and low."

"What do you mean more and less?"

Li Huaide was also confused at this moment. More inventory means more, less means less. Why is there more and less at the same time?

Hearing Li Xuewu talk about the market, he didn't even have a chance to say what he wanted to say.

"More plans, less reality"

Li Xuewu said concisely and concisely: "The above-mentioned plan to inject into the market is greatly increasing, but the actual number of cattle and sheep that can be allocated is far from the planned number."

"And the animals in the plan are live animals, and the ones actually registered may be dead."

Li Huaide's brows didn't loosen at this moment. He looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I want to talk to you about the same issue. The ranch I contacted last night and the unit I contacted today both said they have to wait, at least they won't be able to install it today. The car is gone."

Li Huaide admired and valued Li Xuewu more and more.

It was obviously him who went to talk to the relevant units, but Li Xuewu only had to go out and walk around, and he would understand more clearly than what he talked about.

The key is that Li Xuewu can accurately capture the key to the problem.

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "They can wait, but we can't afford to wait. It's March, and the mainland is about to be civilized."

"yes"

Li Huaide was so anxious that he stopped smoking. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Tell me, what should we do?"

Li Xuewu rubbed his face, lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Have you contacted the surrounding ranches?"

“I contacted you, yes, but not much.”

Li Huaide sat back on the sofa, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "There are losses here too, but according to the above plan, the transfer to the supply and marketing system can be fully met."

"There is little room for negotiation on price. We want more, and they also want to try their best."

"What does try to mean?"

Li Xuewu frowned and said, "Should we wait for their best?"

Jin Yaohui stood aside and said: "The main reason is that our direct purchase with money and exchange of tools did not arouse much interest from them."

"The local meat processing unit wants to wait for the livestock from the hardest-hit areas to arrive and use that plan to exchange with us."

"There are no fools anywhere"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "It seems that it is still a matter of subjective will."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Huaide and said: "If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem for the people doing the work. Start by improving their subjective initiative."

Li Huaide frowned and looked at Li Xuewu. He didn't know much about the specific business.

Otherwise, Li Xuewu often said that leaders are useless, and he couldn't talk to them about specific business matters, because they wouldn't understand even if he did.

"Our related unit, Jingcheng Waste Products Company, has brought a truckload of food and medicine."

"real!"

Li Huaide's eyes widened, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Is this the support train coming this time?"

"yes"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "Two carts of Chinese herbal medicine, one cart of Western medicine, and the rest are corn."

"oops!"

Li Huaide stood up directly, walked a few steps towards the desk, turned back to Li Xuewu and asked, "Can you buy it over?"

"Haha, leader, this is unlikely."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "It's not conducive to unity. After all, I've kowtowed my head, so I just have to make wishes."

"yes"

Li Huaide is the one who sticks to the rules of the game. Although he plays Zhengzhi, he also follows the rules of Zhengzhi.

When communicating with Li Xuewu, he was also asked to talk about the overall situation and justice.

"Tell me what you mean."

"What I mean is that we borrow a chicken to lay an egg."

Li Xuewu knew that he had to explain to Li Huaide clearly about the specific business to avoid wrangling later.

"After all, the medicinal materials and food are on our train. When you contacted us, you said it was our goods, and that there were five special trains of food and medicinal materials being prepared, and they would arrive one after another with this special train."

"oh?!"

Li Huaide had never played like this before. He looked at Li Xuewu and motioned for him to continue.

"Grain and medicinal materials are supplied and demanded at market prices, but beef and mutton are purchased at 20% of the market price."

Li Xuewu lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff and said: "We only trade with the unit that delivers the meat the fastest."

"Then this isn't enough."

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu and said: "This chicken is not our chicken. It would be troublesome if the egg that comes out is a rotten egg. After all, it is not on our chassis."

“It doesn’t stink”

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "The scrap company is also here to collect the meat. If we don't tell you, who knows if we are doing it."

"First send the meat away, and then we will talk about railway transportation issues, obstructions along the way, etc., just make excuses."

Li Huaide looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "You mean to let the scrap company collect it first and let's collect the rest?"

Li Xuewu nodded and said: "The ones who took it first were a minority after all, but those who followed the trend were a large number."

"I'll discuss it with the scrap company. The one collected first will be ours."

Li Xuewu looked difficult but responsible and said: "After all, I am the one doing the coordination work."

"Rufa is gone. How to operate the car that arrives on the 3rd is in our hands. I don't know when the next four cars will arrive. If you are anxious, you can get the money first."

"After all, it is unrealistic for us to go to the three areas of Tacheng to collect these cattle and sheep. The meat of those animals has not been processed yet. We can't slaughter the animals ourselves, right?"

"Hahaha"

Hearing Li Xuewu's words, Li Huaide also laughed at this moment.

"I have never done this kind of work of slaughtering animals! Hahaha~"

Seeing Li Huaide's smiling face, Li Xuewu also knew that he agreed to the plan.

"There are two objective factors, one is road transportation and the other is cooperative relationship. Instead of going to this trouble, why not let others do the work for us."

While talking, Li Xuewu told Li Huaide about the road conditions from three areas to here, and also talked about the specific situation of market inventory.

If they discuss this directly with the ranch, transportation and related loading and unloading will be a problem.

Since Li Huaide wanted to do something big, he would use the siphon effect to gather the surrounding meat products in Wucheng.

The worst is to collect them with money. Anyway, they didn't lie. It's indeed first come, first served. Those four special trains can't arrive due to railway problems. You are late and we can pay to buy the cattle and sheep in your hands. It's great. Benevolent and righteous.

After hearing Li Xuewu's words, Li Huaide suddenly became enlightened. He stood up with a smile, walked to his desk, picked up the phone, and started "spreading rumors."

Li Xuewu sat on the sofa with a smile, smoking a cigarette and watching Li Huaide do things for him.

The amount of grain and medicinal materials in this cart is not something that a group of black marketeers can handle.

Li Xuewu had long thought of selling the grain directly to several joint units in exchange for meat.

But now that he has done this, Li Xuewu no longer has to bother contacting local units to handle business.

With Li Huaide coming forward to refute the accusation, Li Xuewu only needed to take the official seal of the recycling bin and stamp it.

It's not up to him to decide how much of the food and medicinal materials will be left.

In this kind of unit-level trade, the transaction with Hami is also hidden in it.

If Li Xuewu is not afraid of supervision, he can do it sideways. What is most lacking here at this time is the things on his special train.

Ji Weidong also said that he could help Li Xuewu handle some things.

But what Li Xuewu was thinking was that Ji Weidong and the Investigation Department were not just free agents, and they would have to blackmail him for a while if they used him to do things.

Now that Li Huaide is helping him to do the work for free, why should he ask for help?

Human power is infinite, and as long as there is determination to defeat nature, difficulties are just verbal excuses.

Before Li Huaide finished his call, a waiter came downstairs and said that someone's phone number was busy. He was anxious to contact us and had already called the service desk downstairs.

Li Huaide was holding the phone and laughing "haha", and the depression from last night and this morning was gone.

He was also anxious, bragging in front of his subordinates, saying that he would contact the local ranch and unit.

This is to seize the source relationship, so that when establishing cooperative relationships in the future, there will be no constraints from people like Li Xuewu.

Of course, he was not guarding against Li Xuewu, he was guarding against everyone.

Regarding the Red Star training ground, Li Huaide knew that it was better to take the relationship building into his own hands.

There are so many related units at the Red Star training ground, and the direct contact person with the steel rolling mill is Li Xuewu.

It can be said now that without Li Xuewu, would the Red Star Training Ground still exist?

Yes, but without the communication and buffer zone in the middle, each unit is like a gear without lubricant. After all, it will not develop for a long time.

This is why Li Huaide showed so much interest when Li Xuewu proposed forming a joint enterprise.

There has never been any mention of Li Xuewu taking the lead or being the central contact.

He just wants to personally establish an organizational structure under his control in the border areas. With this foundation, he can return to Beijing to negotiate with those units and go against the leaders of the factory.

Otherwise, let's just talk about it. He doesn't have Li Xuewu's ability, and he dares to cheat money based on drawings.

When they heard that five special trains carrying grain and medicinal materials were about to arrive at the steel rolling mill, the mood of the people in charge of the ranches and related units changed instantly.

More than 9,000, nearly 10,000 tons of grain and medicinal materials, how many livestock and products can be exchanged.

I can load the car tonight, for sure!

Even if we put the priced meat in stock first, we still have to get those five carts of supplies.

Grain can sustain livestock, and medicinal materials can sustain workers.

No leader would make fun of property or human life.

The meat in stock is loaded onto the truck, and the meat planned to come later can be made up for. It is just an account written by the accountant.

So before Li Xuewu finished smoking, Li Huaide had already sent out most of the food and medicinal materials for him.

"Lao Jin, go to the station and keep an eye on it."

Li Huaide said to his secretary Jin Yaohui: "Be sure to send the car out before get off work tonight. Whoever comes first will be loaded first. Don't worry about my phone calls and favors."

He now also learned to act rogue from Li Xuewu.

Pack the meat away first, and then discuss with the scrap company to balance the grain and medicinal materials so that everyone can benefit and no one will be offended.

The remaining gap will be made up directly with money. When the meat reaches the capital, who will care about him.

Li Xuewu added to Jin Yaohui: "Chief Jin, when loading the truck, you must add ice in the middle. The ice must be ice with 15% salt added."

"I know, I'll go and ask the freight side to prepare it."

Jin Yaohui knew that Li Xuewu would not talk nonsense about this kind of professional transportation knowledge, and there were people at the freight station who understood it.

All he could think about now was admiration for Li Xuewu.

A deputy director can sit down with the deputy director to communicate on an equal footing and solve the deputy director's problems while talking and laughing. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

As for the salt Li Xuewu mentioned, Jin Yaohui didn't care. This was the frontier.

If the amount of refined edible salt in this place is not the best, it would be coarse salt or salt in its original state.

Haha, there is a salt lake here.

There is salt not only in the lake, but also in the mountains, whether cows or not!

In the trading plan planned by Li Huaide, salt is also a preliminary commodity.

In the grand chess game Li Xuewu outlined for him, with the steel mill as the fulcrum, as long as it was done well, it could completely leverage the commercial trade of the entire Northeast.

After explaining to Jin Yaohui, Li Xuewu and Li Huaide began to discuss the business that was about to be launched here.

A tall building rises from the ground, every brick and tile is its foundation.

Li Huaide was determined to open an office here, and Li Xuewu also supported his idea.

Therefore, those who make suggestions here are for the future of the steel rolling mill and for Li Huaide to do some practical things.

Of course, Li Xuewu also wanted to seek more benefits for himself and the joint venture he was about to cooperate with.

People have selfish motives, Li Huaide has it, and so does Li Xuewu.

Even though he doesn't have many needs, the people under him who support him do.

The frontier is being frozen for thousands of miles, and it is already March in the capital.

Today is March 1st. When Sha Zhu came to work in the morning, he saw that all the ice in the river had melted, and there was only a piece of ice floating in the middle of the river. It was the last stubbornness of winter.

How can I say that time flies by so fast? It feels like the New Year has just passed, but I haven’t gotten much out of it yet, and I am about to be awakened by the stings.

When we get to Jingzhe, people in the village will start preparing for planting. Arbor Day will be here in a few days.

As soon as I saw them, few people on the street wore cotton-padded clothes. Most of them wore a thin sweater underneath and a coat.

This day passed by in a daze.

After finishing the work in the cafeteria, Shazhu picked up his lunch box and walked out.

He is used to arriving late and leaving early. Not leaving early does not reflect his identity and status as the canteen monitor.

But as soon as he crossed the threshold, his disciple Ma Hua's voice came from behind.

"Master, phone!"
