Chapter 120 Completely Sold Out

Now I don't know who leaked the news, until it was less than ten o'clock in the morning.

All the workers in the rolling mill knew that there was watermelon in the cafeteria at noon today, and there was mung bean soup in the factory.

After hearing the news, all the workers were full of satisfaction and looked forward to eating good food.

So the workers waited until noon after work to go to the canteen to eat a piece of watermelon to quench their thirst and a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat.

"Liu Lan, if I'm not wrong, it must be you who spread the news again?"

"I knew you had the fastest mouth in the whole steel plant, and your mouth looks like cotton pants." He Yuzhu said angrily while cutting the watermelon.

"Actually, I just met a few sisters in the bathroom, and I accidentally told them casually, but I didn't expect them to broadcast it."

"If you say that, then these things are all my fault, all of my fault."

"If I didn't talk nonsense, I'm afraid it wouldn't spread." Liu Lan apologized to He Yuzhu repeatedly.

She would not be afraid of He Yuzhu until now, after all, no one in the whole factory gave her three points of color, and if anyone dared to provoke her, she would ask Director Li to punish him severely.

But He Yuzhu is different now, he is Li Lang's spokesperson.

Now when the workers in the factory want to exchange tickets with Li Lang, and sell tickets to Li Lang, they all have to go through He Yuzhu's hands.

From this point of view, He Yuzhu is becoming more and more active now.

Therefore, no one in the whole cafeteria could offend He Yuzhu.

Of course, He Yuzhu's apprentice Ma Hua is also a brother in the same trench.

This guy He Yuzhu protects the calf, and he is doing well now.

Let alone offending him, even offending his apprentice Ma Hua will not let you go, so Liu Lan is very good at playing tricks, and apologizes immediately.

In fact, He Yuzhu just casually said that Li Lang told him the news, but they didn't say that he was not allowed to tell others the news.

Now the situation is pretty good. Let Liu Lan, the big speaker, tell all the workers in the factory through another way that everyone in the factory will eat a piece of watermelon to quench their thirst and drink a bowl of mung bean soup to relieve the heat. At the same time, it will also increase the production of workers. Positivity, this kills two birds with one stone.

But in the face of big right and wrong, He Yuzhu is absolutely unambiguous.

It's just that I haven't seen that bastard Xu Damao in the past few days, and I don't know where that kid has slipped off to.

But He Yuzhu planned to embarrass him at noon today. Others can buy watermelons, but he won't sell them to Xu Damao himself.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the bell rang, the workers rushed into the cafeteria to line up.

Li Lang and the publicity director also walked out of the publicity room to the cafeteria.

When the bell rang, there was a long queue in front of every window.

"Master He, I heard that watermelons are sold in our cafeteria at noon today? Do we have mung bean soup? I don't know how to sell them now?"

"What kind of price is it?"

The window that He Yuzhu was in charge of was Zhang Dajizi at the front.

This kid used to play widow Qin's ideas a lot, and He Yuzhu had taught him a lesson. Now this kid has a grudge against He Yuzhu.

When he came to cook in the past, he never did it at He Yuzhu's window.

I don't know why the sun came out from the west today, but this kid actually came to the window in charge of He Yuzhu to eat, and even asked about the price of watermelon with a smile on his face.

"Now our prices are like this. A small piece of watermelon costs [-] cent, and a large one costs [-] cents. Today is the first day that mung bean soup is sold. You can pay for everything. As long as you bring something with you, I can pay you as much as you want."

"Our price is a conscience price in the market, which is completely lower than the market." He Yuzhu said expressionlessly.

Zhang Dashuo holds grudges, but He Yuzhu actually holds grudges even more.

In the past, when Widow Qin was bullied, she would often come to him to complain about her grievances. Whenever she complained, she sold herself miserably. When he was hot-blooded, he dared to beat even the deputy director of the factory, let alone this big bastard.

The grandson of retreat is a bully, so you can't give him a good face. If you give him a good face, this kid will stick his nose in the face instead.

"In this case, then give me two steamed buns, one serving of potatoes and cabbage, one big piece of watermelon, and today I'll order mung bean soup. Please, Master He, fill this lunch box for me." Zhang Da Skipper handed over the lunch box with a smile on his face.

He Yuzhu resolved the battle in twos and threes.

"It cost a total of fifteen cents."

He Yuzhu took the money handed over by Zhang Dashuo, and habitually shouted: "Next."

Li Lang lined up in the crowd, and the first and second uncles all lined up in the crowd.

After seeing this scene, the two uncles were so happy.

The news that Li Lang gave them was absolutely true. They had watermelon and mung bean soup for lunch today.

Widow Qin was also in line, but she was very depressed.

The main reason is that there is only five yuan in their pockets, which is the ration of their family of five in the last ten days.

She was debating whether to buy a few pieces of watermelon and take them home to satisfy the children.

"It turned out to be Li Gong. What line do you think you are in? You can go to the front window to get food when you come to the cafeteria. You don't have to squeeze with us here."

"None of us know that today's watermelon is all thanks to you."

A worker in front of Li Lang turned his head and found Li Lang standing behind him, and immediately said with a smile.

"That's right, Li Gong, you don't need to line up, just go to the front and call directly."

The dozen or so people in front turned their heads one after another, and all of them greeted Li Lang with smiles.

Most of these workers were loyal supporters of Li Lang, and they all counted on Li Lang to eat meat and watermelon, so how could they let Li Lang line up behind them.

"No, it's fine for me to line up here, but queuing is not a rule that everyone should abide by. If this is the case, then I must abide by the order in the cafeteria." Li Lang waved his hands at the crowd and declined everyone's kindness.

Time passed quickly, and finally it was Li Lang's turn.

"Mahua, bring me two large pieces of watermelon, one serving of cabbage and potatoes, and four steamed buns, and a lunch box of mung bean soup."

Next, Li Lang handed Ma Hua his lunch box.

After seeing what Li Lang said, Ma Hua quickly took it over.

"Li Gong, just wait a moment, what you want will be ready soon."

This is my master's buddy, according to seniority, this is my master, so Ma Hua must take good care of him.

Listening to the words, the big spoon turned around, and the amount of food for Li Lang was quite enough.

The two big pieces of watermelon all picked the biggest piece, and these things made the workers who lined up behind envious.

"Li Gong, take it well."

Li Lang took the lunch box and handed Ma Hua the money.

Then I found a seat at random and sat down to have lunch.

He observed silently and found that almost all the workers bought watermelons, ranging from a large piece to a small piece.

As for the mung bean soup, everyone can keep their fill, and if they can’t finish it, they take it home for their families. In a word, the workers eat and drink happily.

Li Lang estimated that [-] catties of mung beans would last for ten days and a half a month, and this thousand catties of watermelon would have to be burnt out in just one meal at noon. After all, this thing is really uneaten.

As expected, he didn't get off work in the afternoon, and the deputy factory manager found Li Lang again.

"Mr. Li, I'm sure I read you right. You are a comrade with a solid work attitude and a good attitude. You are dedicated to working for the welfare of our rolling mill workers."

"So I decided to recommend you to the factory manager as an advanced worker of our factory this year."

"This matter was actually done by Dingding early at night."

The deputy factory manager has this advantage. As long as you do a good job for him, he will definitely use you again, and he will also move you with emotion and lure you with reason.

Although Li Lang is not yet his direct descendant, he is already valued by him, and in time he will definitely be his right-hand man.

Advanced workers in steel mills are not easy. There are rewards at the end of the year, ranging from a towel and a washbasin to sending out a radio.

But these things are naturally not to Li Lang's eyes.

"Director, don't praise me, isn't it because you are a good leader?"

"Li Lang's contribution to our factory is nothing compared to yours." Li Lang smiled modestly.

After hearing this sentence, the deputy director was overjoyed. After all, he just loves to listen to what Li Lang says.

"Li Gong, think of a way to get more watermelons for our factory."

"You also saw the situation at noon today. The watermelon is very popular among the workers. Today, it can be said that all the workers bought a piece of watermelon to eat. The mung bean soup is even more popular among the workers in our factory."

In fact, now the deputy factory manager has assigned Li Lang another task.

Li Lang had known for a long time that the deputy director would definitely do this, but Li Lang had his own ideas.

Li Lang chose his words carefully and said: "Director, actually I don't think it's okay to sell some watermelon to the workers, but I think this mung bean soup should be provided to the workers for free. Director, you also know that the workshop is hot in this scorching summer. It’s hot and sweaty after walking in the workshop, not to mention the workers have to work in the workshop.”

"For the sake of the workers' health, I think we should really be considerate of the workers."

After hearing this sentence, the deputy director fell into deep thought.

Li Lang continued: "Mung bean soup can relieve heat. I heard that workers suffered from heat stroke in the workshop every day."

"Today, the workers drank mung bean soup and went to work, and none of them suffered from heat stroke. In fact, this is definitely good news."

"Li Gong, what you said is very good, do you have any good ideas?" the deputy factory manager asked with a smile.

Although the deputy factory manager has bad conduct, he has such an advantage compared to the factory manager. He knows how to be flexible.

"Director, I think workers are the precious wealth of our rolling mill. We must treat them well. On this hot day, should we get a large tin bucket in each workshop and let the cafeteria provide a few big pots for special use?" Make mung bean soup."

"After the mung bean soup is cooked, the tin buckets are pulled over from the workshop, and each tin bucket is filled with mung bean soup and sent to the workshop for the workers to drink for free. We can arrange enough tubes to fill them up, as long as they don't delay production. All right."

"I believe that workers will be motivated to increase production if they drink mung bean soup in the workshop every day, which can quench their thirst and relieve summer heat."

Li Lang's words made Mao Sai, the deputy director of the factory, suddenly enlightened and very happy.

"Good job Li Gong, the idea you came up with is really amazing."

"Our factory doesn't expect to use mung bean soup to earn workers' money. In fact, let alone increase production in this hot day, even if we maintain normal production, we can provide mung bean soup to workers for free."

"In that case, this matter is settled."

"At that time, I will ask the supply department to buy dozens of tin buckets. When we come back, we will provide the workers with mung bean soup for free."

The deputy factory manager immediately wrote a note asking the supply department to send someone to buy tin buckets.

He wrote another note to Li Lang asking him to arrange for [-] catties of watermelon and [-] catties of mung beans, but still at the old prices for unified purchases and sales.

Li Lang took the note to the finance department of the factory office area to get the money.

After getting the note, the chief financial officer looked very bad.

Why didn't he buy watermelon today.

The main reason is that I went late in the cafeteria, and all the watermelons were sold out at that time.

But when he saw the note Li Lang brought, the eyes of the financial director of the factory office immediately lit up.

"Okay, Mr. Li, I want to bring another [-] catties of watermelons to our factory."

"Then tell me when will the watermelon arrive tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?"

"Great, don't you know that at noon today, I just missed my meal time at noon, and when I got to the cafeteria, they sold out all the watermelons."

"Let's not talk about eating watermelon now, I just saw a few pieces of melon rind, and tomorrow I will go to the cafeteria to queue up to sell watermelon."

The financial director handed Li Lang a thick stack of banknotes and Li Lang put them in his bag.

"Director, look good, I will definitely let you eat watermelon tomorrow at noon."

"That's great, this is the first piece of watermelon I ate today. I didn't expect it to be a day later than my colleagues."

Li Lang ignored the financial director's thoughts, and left the financial room with his bag alone.

Now I have 670 yuan in my bag, [-] for watermelon and [-] for mung bean.

Adding it all up is just enough to buy a bicycle, and the rest of the money can go to Quandeju for a meal of roast duck, plus two meals of Beihai chestnut noodle steamed buns.

But Li Lang really didn't pay much attention to the money, it was nothing compared to the gold.

In fact, he earns an average of several thousand yuan a day just by selling pork, and at most pays a few pig bones as wages.

But mosquito meat is also meat, and if you don’t earn it, you won’t earn it for nothing.

After get off work, Li Lang and He Yuzhu rode out of the steel mill, and at the same time they both carried three large lunch boxes.

At noon today, the factory manager and the deputy factory manager were entertained, and the leftovers belonged to He Yuzhu.

This time Liu Lan didn't share any leftovers in order to please He Yuzhu.

After all, He Yuzhu loved his sister the most, mainly because he also wanted to bring back two pieces of watermelon and a lunch box of mung bean soup for Yushui.

Li Lang's lunch box contains steamed buns, watermelon, and mung bean soup.

The main reason is that I despise the factory manager and their leftovers.

"Do you want to eat iced watermelon?" Li Lang asked with a smile.

"What?"

"Iced watermelon, this is the first time I've heard of this term."

"Then tell me what kind of ice method it is?"

"Could it be that the watermelon is frozen in ice cubes? That's a good idea. Unfortunately, where can I find ice cubes in this hot weather?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

"Don't worry about the ice cubes, as long as you want your sister to eat iced watermelon, then you need to bring me the watermelon you brought from the cafeteria, and I will ice it for you when your sister comes back from get off work Just let her go to my house to find me later." Li Lang smiled mysteriously, without explaining to He Yuzhu himself.

"Well, Li Gong, when my sister Yushui comes back, I will follow her to your house."

"I'd like to take a good look at that frozen watermelon you made."

He Yuzhu had no doubts in Li Lang, so he directly handed Li Lang his lunch box containing watermelon.

Li Lang took it and put it in his net pocket.
