The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 175, I agree

After sending Hong Feng away, Li Weiguo didn't think much more and continued to lower his head to deal with the documents in his hand.

At this moment, the newly installed old-fashioned rocker telephone on the table suddenly rang with a beeping sound.

Li Weiguo picked up the microphone and said, "Hello, I'm Li Weiguo."

"Chief Li, there are two people here at the West Gate who say they are your junior high school classmates, Zhou Can and Zhao Guobing, coming to see you." On the other end of the phone was the guard on duty at the West Gate.

Fat man and national soldiers?

Why did these two boys come to the steel rolling mill to look for him when they were not at work during working hours?

Li Weiguo was puzzled for a moment, and without thinking much, he ordered: "Okay, I understand. Please let them sit in the duty room first, and I will come right away."

"Okay, Li Ke."

After putting down the phone, Li Weiguo gathered the documents in his hand, put on his police hat and walked towards the west gate.

The west gate is also relatively close to the security department, and it only takes a few minutes to get there.

When we arrived at the west gate, we hadn't even entered the duty room yet. Through the door, we could hear Zhou Can bragging and spanking with the doorman and guard in the room.

"I'm telling you, it's not that you Fat Brother is bragging, just go to the Daokou Supply and Marketing Cooperative. It may not be easy to find someone else, but it will definitely work if you go to Fat Brother. Whatever you want to buy, Fat Brother will definitely help you. We are here. This is what you do."

Li Weiguo heard the sound and took a look into the duty room, "Hey, good guy, Fatty is really able to chat with people wherever he goes. In such a short time, he was flirting with the guard there. He is really a social slut."

Li Weiguo walked straight into the duty room. Seeing that he was starting to blow off the top, he joked: "Hey, fat brother, can you help me buy a wife?"

"Daughter-in-law." Zhou Can's computer went offline for a moment, and when he heard the sound, he turned around and realized that it was Li Weiguo who was here. He immediately laughed and scolded: "Hey, I knew it was you kid who was teasing me."

"Hahaha, who told you to blow for half an hour when you meet someone? If you don't make fun of you, who will make fun of you?" Zhao Guobing also laughed.

"Oh, you are not careful when making friends. You two losers are always trying to tear me down." Zhou Can glanced at these two losers with a resentful look.

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him with a smile, ignored his pretense, and asked: "Okay, don't be poor. Why are you two free today? Come to the steel rolling mill and don't go to work today?"

At this time, Zhao Guobing took over the conversation and said, "Hey, I need your help with something. Let's find a place to talk."

"Okay, come with me."

Office of the deputy section chief on the second floor of the Security Section.

After Li Weiguo led the two of them back to the office, he asked them to sit down, took out cigarettes from his pocket and scattered one each.

Zhou Can took the cigarette, looked at the office carefully, and said with a smile: "Okay, Wei Guo, you are now the deputy section chief. Your promotion is like a rocket. You have been jumping up and down several levels. The office is equipped with it.”

Zhao Guobing also smiled and said: "That's right, if we don't come, we don't know, how long do you plan to hide it from us?"

Zhao Guobing was also shocked. Even with his good family conditions, his father and the deputy director of the Grain Institute could not be promoted so quickly. Li Weiguo's speed really surprised them both.

Li Weiguo chuckled: "I was promoted yesterday because of my meritorious service. I haven't had time to tell you. I can't just call your company to show off my promotion."

Zhou Can and Zhang Guobing rolled their eyes at him when they heard this, but they were still happy for him since their brother was promoted.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Li Weiguo asked: "Tell me, you two are not at work, why did you come to my place all the time?"

"Hey, Wei Guo, I'm getting married this weekend. I came over to tell you and ask you for a favor." Zhao Guobing said with a smile.

"Hey, getting married? So soon?" Li Weiguo was surprised.

"I'm not happy. We've been dating for almost a year. If my father-in-law hadn't wanted to observe and observe, we would have become friends long ago." Zhao Guobing explained.

After Zhao Guobing said this, Li Weiguo remembered that we are no longer in the 21st century. Before getting married, we have to fall in love for three to five years. Now, it is the age here that we can meet each other on a blind date. There is nothing wrong with being together for a few days. You can directly apply for a marriage certificate.

Although free love is advocated these days, in the end arranged marriages are still the mainstay, and even Zhao Guobing's situation has been around for a long time.

Zhao Guobing's partner, Yuan Manxia, ​​was arranged for him by his family. The other party's family was not simple either. His father-in-law was the immediate boss of his immediate boss. The first brother of the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, Director Yuan, the two families were considered to be well-matched.

Li Weiguo nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Zhou Can and I will go over to help you when the time comes, but you don't need to go to my unit to notify us about this, right?" Li Weiguo glanced at them curiously .

Zhou Can chuckled: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from our Chief Li. Isn't it because the ingredients for the national soldiers' wedding banquet are missing? I came to you to ask about the connection. You can't bear to ask us to eat vegetables and radishes then."

When Li Weiguo heard this, he glanced at Zhao Guobing in surprise and asked, "Isn't our Uncle Zhao the deputy director of the Grain Institute? Isn't this something so readily available that you need to hunt around for it?"

Zhao Guobing smiled bitterly and explained: "Hey, don't mention it. In these special times, it's not easy for my dad to owe favors everywhere, and my father-in-law has spoken. He wants to see my ability and let me solve it myself. It can be considered a test.

I have no problem with ingredients such as vegetables and auxiliary dishes. Our imperial capital is not short of these. In addition, my family has also accumulated some dry goods and canned food over the years. Now it is mainly short of ingredients such as meat and eggs. This time, we will host six tables. The main course must have some hard dishes, and it shouldn't be too shabby.

Just for this reason, I went to the pigeon markets in Deshengmen and Jianguomen in the past two days, but I couldn’t even buy any pigeons. I was so anxious. "

Li Weiguo nodded to express his understanding. It is indeed difficult to hold banquets these days. In the past, if you had money, you could go to the pigeon market and find a way to buy some high-priced meat.

However, supplies are indeed scarce this year. Many people doing business in the pigeon market have stopped doing business. It's not that they don't want to sell, but they don't have enough food at home, so they are willing to spend money elsewhere.

Some time ago, the "tackling" people raided the ghost market and arrested many people. Now the four major pigeon markets in the imperial capital are still in a state of turmoil, with even fewer people coming out to do business. Even he has suspended selling to Lao Fu and As for the supply of hamsters, we will wait until the news passes.

"How much do you want?" Li Weiguo asked.

Zhao Guobing made an estimate and said: "For six banquets, each table can have a pound of meat. I also have some canned meat at home. I can make do with two or three meat dishes at once. I can get the best eggs." , if you can’t get it, forget it.”

He originally wanted to ask for two kilograms of meat per table, but after thinking about the current market situation, he was embarrassed to ask for it. Instead, he changed his mind and said one kilogram per table. Put a few slices of meat on a few dishes and dip them in oil and water to count them as meat dishes. .

As for eggs, he has no hope. Eggs are now more in demand than meat, and most people can't afford them.

Li Weiguo touched his chin, but he didn't pay much attention to this thing. His space could produce tens of thousands of kilograms of meat every month, and the unsold meat was piled in a static warehouse. It was completely trivial to take out some.

So he nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll help you get the meat. I'll give you ten kilograms of meat when the time comes. I'll bring it to you at the weekend. By the way, have you found the cook?"

"Uh, I haven't looked for it yet. I'm busy looking for ingredients. I haven't had time yet." Zhao Guobing scratched his head in embarrassment. For a while, he couldn't care less about his head than his buttocks.

Li Weiguo rolled his eyes at him and said: "How about this? Let Shazhu cook for you when the time comes. He often cooks banquets and his skills are not bad. When the weekend comes, he and I will go to your house with the ingredients and we will be at your disposal. .”

After hearing this, Zhao Guobing was immediately convinced that his brothers would definitely not cheat him. Since Li Weiguo agreed, there must be channels to get the ingredients.

After a trip, the ingredients and the cook were done, and I finally let go of a worry.

"Okay, that's great, thank you Weiguo." Zhao Guobing said happily.

"Hey, thank you, what a big deal."
