Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 496 The Thing Is Like This
At this moment, it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and there was not a single person on the street.

Relying on his extraordinary eyesight, Lin Tieniu walked forward in the dark.

Not long after, he came to a small alley where the black market was often held in his memory.

Unfortunately, perhaps because of the wrong time, there was no movement in the alley.

He had no choice but to continue on to the next location.

Generally speaking, those responsible for organizing the black market will not disclose the location of the next black market in advance, so as not to be caught by others.

Therefore, if people want to participate in the black market, they have to go to the place where the black market is usually held according to a fixed time, and sometimes several places in a row may fail.

Just like now, Lin Tieniu went to two more places, but he didn't see a single person.

Seeing that it was getting late, he pondered for a while, and decided to go to a place farther away to take a look. If he still didn't have it, he could only wait for another day to take a look.

Afterwards, he hurried and hurried, and finally came to a small forest outside the Chaoyang Gate.

Just when he thought he would return in vain, he suddenly saw a burly man coming out from behind a tree, and then shouted in a low voice, "Stop, what are you doing here?"

"Brother, there is a famine at home, come here to find something to eat."

Lin Tieniu was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied.

"Hmm! Do you know the rules?"

The man looked at Lin Tieniu carefully, then nodded slowly and asked a question.

"I know! Don't worry! I come here often!"

Lin Tieniu nodded and said with a soft smile.

"Okay, then you go in!"

Hearing this, the man's eyes sharpened, he stared at Lin Tieniu for a while, then slowly turned sideways to get out of the way, waved his hand and said.

"Got it!"

Lin Tieniu responded with a smile, and then walked quickly into the grove without wasting any more time.

In fact, not everyone will be questioned, but he looks relatively unfamiliar, and he has no acquaintances to bring him with him, so he was stopped.

If he successfully carried out the transaction this time, and didn't make trouble on purpose, then he won't be treated like this next time.

Soon after, when Lin Tieniu bypassed the big trees in front of him, a small market completely different from the daytime appeared before his eyes.

Although there were quite a lot of people, there was no noisy voice. Occasionally someone spoke, but they deliberately lowered their voices.

In addition, if you are a seller, you will usually hold something that symbolizes the type of goods in your hand. For example, if you sell poultry, you will take a chicken feather or something. If you sell grain, you will take a straw or something. .

And those who buy things will find the corresponding sellers based on these things.

Moreover, after the discussion is complete, the transaction is not completed on the spot, but the seller will take the things he has hidden, and then conduct the transaction at the place specified by the black market organizer.

On the one hand, this is to ensure the safety of both parties to the transaction, and on the other hand, it is also because the organizers of the black market want to charge the seller a commission.

Therefore, Lin Tieniu just took a cursory glance, and immediately found some people who planned to sell meat, and then went directly to communicate with them.

Soon, he found several more suitable trading partners and bought six chickens for nearly 20 yuan, and among them happened to be two old hens that could lay eggs.

Otherwise, he would not be willing to spend so much money to buy it.

After the transaction was completed, he took the chickens to a remote corner and took them into the primary ecological space, so as not to delay too long and kill them.

Then, he returned to the black market to continue looking for people to buy poultry and livestock.

In the end, after a lot of hard work, he spent nearly 200 yuan and successfully bought one male, two females, three ducks, one male, four females and five rabbits, as well as fifty catties of flour and eighty catties of cornmeal. , [-] catties of sweet potatoes, [-] catties of potatoes, [-] catties of shelled peanuts, [-] catties of rice, etc.

Moreover, he ordered some seeds of rice, wheat, millet, corn, and vegetables with one of the fellow villagers who had some background, and at the same time made an appointment to trade under the Chaoyangmen Tower the next afternoon.

Because the quantity he wanted was not too much, and he was willing to double the price, the fellow agreed after hesitating for a while.

The reason why he did this, on the one hand, was to lure him with profit, and on the other hand, he wanted to train this fellow to become a regular transaction partner, so that he would not have to go to the black market every time.

Moreover, he planned to wait for the fellow villagers to help him get some piglets, lambs, and cows after they had established a certain amount of trust with each other, because these things could not be obtained on the black market.

After collecting all the purchased items into the primary ecological space, he quietly left the black market and returned to his home.

Then, he entered the primary ecological space with peace of mind, and built a row of houses under the cliff with stones for the purchased poultry and livestock.

In addition, he also directly planted the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts he bought.

In this way, when the chickens and ducks finish eating the stick noodles, there will almost be fresh sweet potato leaves to feed them.

After finishing his work, he listened to the calls of chickens, ducks and rabbits, and looked at the sown fields. He couldn't help showing a look of anticipation on his face, as if he had seen a beautiful pastoral scene.

Then, he ran to the sea for a swim, and then returned to the outside world to sleep.

In this way, nothing happened overnight, and it was more than 3 o'clock in the morning the next day.

The powerful sleep control ability made Lin Tieniu wake up on time.

After a brief wash, he left the house through the back door, preparing to go to work in the rolling mill.

In the eyes of outsiders, getting up so early to go to work early is undoubtedly a kind of hard work, especially in the cold winter months, it is even more miserable.

However, in Lin Tieniu's view, this problem is nothing at all. Anyway, he only needs to sleep for one or two hours a day, and he is not afraid of the cold.

What's more, this situation is only temporary. After a while, he believes that he can still sleep until he wakes up naturally every day.

Not long after, when he was thinking secretly whether he should give Fan Weizhong a good time as soon as possible, the gate of the canteen of the rolling mill appeared in front of him.

He smiled slightly, put the matter behind him, and walked straight into the cafeteria.

As soon as he walked in, he saw a familiar figure mopping the floor in the dining hall with a mop.

The constantly shaking figure reminded him of some past events.

At this time, Liu Lan also heard the sound of footsteps, and then turned around to take a look, just in time to meet Lin Tieniu's strange eyes.

Suddenly, she was slightly taken aback, and suddenly felt a little hairy in her heart, as if she was not wearing any clothes.

Just when she wondered if she was too sensitive, Lin Tieniu came back to her senses, smiled softly and said hello.

"Sister Liu, you came quite early!"

"No way! I just came here not too long ago."

Seeing this, Liu Lan immediately put the episode behind her and replied with a smile.

In fact, she usually doesn't come to work so early, but because she hasn't figured out what kind of temperament Lin Tieniu is, she doesn't dare to come so late.

"Well, then you are busy first, I will go to the back kitchen to have a look."

Lin Tieniu didn't intend to continue chatting when he heard the words, he just smiled and left a word, then walked towards the back kitchen.

Looking at Lin Tieniu's tall and straight back, Liu Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but see a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Originally, she didn't take Lin Tieniu seriously, especially when she saw that Lin Tieniu's cooking performance was not very good, she felt that Lin Tieniu had no future in this cafeteria.

However, later she accidentally saw Lin Tieniu sneaking into the office of the cafeteria director Fan Weizhong.

Although she didn't know why Lin Tieniu did this, it also made her understand that Lin Tieniu was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Not sure, one day the head of the cafeteria will become Lin Tieniu.

That's why she deliberately came earlier to make a good impression on Lin Tieniu, so as to save time from not being able to hug her thigh.

At this moment, Lin Tieniu didn't know that Liu Lan saw that he went to find Fan Weizhong. After he walked into the back kitchen, he immediately checked the dough that had risen last night, lest it would be the same as last time. Set up.

Soon, after a careful inspection, he didn't find any problems, and the heart that Wei Wei raised was completely put back in his stomach.

At the same time, when Lu Yongfei and Sun Weijin saw Lin Tieniu's actions, they couldn't help feeling a little thankful that they didn't intend to make trouble, otherwise Lin Tieniu would definitely be caught.

In addition, after seeing this scene, they did not dare to underestimate Lin Tieniu anymore, and their attitude became a little more respectful.

Seeing the changes in Lu Yongfei and Sun Weijin, Lin Tieniu was a little happy, and then he was not very polite, and directly ordered the next thing to do.

As for the other three apprentices, after seeing that Lu Yongfei and Sun Weijin were so obedient, they no longer had the idea of ​​confronting Lin Tieniu, and all of them calmed down.

Sometimes, a small thing can achieve a very good effect, depending on its nature and function.

Just like Lin Tieniu, he was able to check the link that might go wrong at the first time, which proves that he is not so easy to fool, and other people will naturally not dare to act rashly after seeing it.

In this way, Lin Tieniu invisibly warned the others, and then started his day's work smoothly.

While busy, time was slowly passing by. It didn't take long for the sky to turn pale, and the aroma of steamed buns wafted from the back kitchen.

According to the usual practice, Lin Tieniu first let the staff in the cafeteria have their own breakfast, and then moved the steamed buns and side dishes to the front dining window.

At this time, many workers who wanted to get breakfast from the cafeteria and go back to feed their families had already formed a long queue in front of the meal window.

Lin Tieniu looked at the workers looking forward to it, and didn't waste much time, so he directly ordered the others to start cooking.

When the cafeteria was in full swing, Fan Weizhong's figure also appeared in the cafeteria hall.

While carefully observing the situation of the workers cooking and eating, he was also observing the working status of the cafeteria staff.

After looking around, he saw the satisfied smiles on the faces of the workers and the orderly working status of the cafeteria staff.

Then, he walked directly into the back kitchen, intending to stand on the platform for Lin Tieniu, which can be regarded as showing to others that Lin Tieniu belongs to him.

However, before he could speak, Lin Tieniu took the initiative to greet him the first time he saw him and shouted: "Director Fan, you came just in time. I just have something to report to you."

When Fan Weizhong heard this, he could only put the matter of the platform aside, and nodded to signal Lin Tieniu to follow him to the office.

Soon, they walked into the canteen director's office one after the other.

Seeing this scene, the other staff in the cafeteria had many guesses in their hearts.

Some guessed whether Lin Tieniu was arranged by Fan Weizhong, others speculated whether Lin Tieniu wanted to sue Fan Weizhong, and even speculated whether Lin Tieniu wanted to kill Wan Yuhua.

At the same time, they were even more thankful that they did not offend Lin Tieniu, otherwise it would be a disaster if they were involved in the struggle between Fan Weizhong and Wan Yuhua.

At this moment, Lin Tieniu doesn't know what other people are thinking at all, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, anyway, he will confront Wan Yuhua sooner or later.

After Fan Weizhong brought Lin Tieniu into the office, he immediately said in a deep voice, "Okay, you can talk about anything!"

"Director Fan, the thing is like this."

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened his mouth to talk about the preparation of the reception canteen.

Fan Weizhong's eyes lit up when he heard that Wan Yuhua could be transferred to the guest house to be in charge of organizing the canteen.

In this way, not only can he completely control the cafeteria in his own hands, but he can also give credit to his immediate superior, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It's just that if things really happen, then he won't have much chance to show courteousness to the factory leaders in the future.

How to do it?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help showing a trace of hesitation on his face.

Seeing this, Lin Tieniu smiled slightly and said, "Director Fan, as far as I know, Squad Leader Wan is the brother-in-law of Factory Manager Yang. No matter what, he will never have one heart with you."

"Besides, even if you continue to take care of the entertainment of the factory leaders, the factory leaders will only think of the good of squad leader Wan. Rather than asking grandpa to tell grandma every time to let squad leader Wan cooperate with your work, it is better to give this errand to you. Get out."

"Are you right?"

Hearing these words, Fan Weizhong frowned slightly, then waved his hands and said, "Okay, I know this matter well, you should go back and do your work first!"

"Alright! Then I'll go back and get busy!"

Lin Tieniu frowned, nodded and agreed without saying a word, then turned around and left.

He knew that Fan Weizhong must have been tempted, but because he had pierced the window paper, he was a little bit annoyed.

In addition, he doesn't have to worry that Fan Weizhong will deliberately target him because of this. After all, besides him, who else is suitable to help control the cafeteria?
