"Eat, eat."

Two square tables were put together in the yard, with more than ten pots of food placed on them. Ji Luo also brought a bucket of rice and a basket full of pickled cabbage cakes. "Take your own bowl to fill up the rice and eat as much as you want. If you can't finish it, you can take it away as a midnight snack."

"Ji Luo, thank you for your hard work." The squad leader thanked him with a smile.

"The ones who worked hard today are Li Zhen and Wang Yanyan. They cooked most of the dishes."

The two chefs were busy in the kitchen and sweating. Li Zhen's shirt was soaked with sweat. He had just washed his hair in the backyard and asked Zeng Minfang to get a towel to wipe his hair. As he wiped, he said, "To cater to everyone's taste, only three dishes have chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns."

Zeng Minfang brought a bowl of chili sauce over and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the authentic chili sauce sent by Shacheng. It's very spicy. If you want something spicy, you can mix it with your food."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You must be hungry after a busy day. Come and eat."

Zeng Minfang had just served her son some rice and picked up some of each dish for him, then let him sit on the stool next to her to eat.

Ji Luo first scooped a bowl of chicken soup and drank it, then picked a piece of chicken thigh meat and put it in Kangzi's bowl, "Kangzi, you should drink a bowl of chicken soup after dinner."

"Aunt Ji Luo, I don't like soup."

Kangzi grew up in Shacheng and also loves spicy food. He likes stir-fried and steamed dishes but doesn't like stews.

"Chicken soup is very nutritious. Even if you don't like it, drink a small bowl. You should eat more nutritious food while you are studying and growing up. Only then can you grow taller than your father in the future."

Kangzi also wanted to be taller than his father, so he nodded while eating: "Okay, I'll eat. I want to be taller than Uncle Rongyan."

Ren Rongyan is half a head taller than Peng Jinsong and is the tallest among their iron triangle.

"The dishes cooked by Li Zhen taste good."

Ruan Minghui just tasted everything. He also loves spicy food and is eating the spiciest beer duck.

Li Zhen smiled and said, "My level is not as good as the best, but better than the worst."

"Anyway, they are much stronger than us."

Almost all students in the class can cook, but their cooking skills vary greatly. They think that these delicious dishes will not taste good if they are in their hands. The only thing they can guarantee is that they are cooked.

"Oh, it's so lively."

The outer door was not closed, so Lin Shizong and Yuan Nanlin walked into the house together and saw dozens of people in the yard. They both thought they had come to the wrong place. After a closer look, they saw Ji Luo picking up food in the crowd.

"Why are you two here?" Ji Luo immediately put the bowl and chopsticks aside and asked them, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"

"We haven't eaten yet. We came here directly after get off work."

Lin Shizong looked at everyone, guessing that they were her classmates, and asked, "Is your school organizing any activities?"

"I'll ask my classmates to help me set up a stall to sell the wool from your factory on the weekend, and invite them over for a quick meal in the evening."

Ji Luo moved a long bench and invited them to sit down. He pointed at the food on the table and asked with a smile, "Would you like to have a simple meal with us?"

"Row."

Neither of them has the arrogance of children from wealthy families. They are quite easy-going and usually eat in the company cafeteria most of the time.

Zeng Minfang brought them bowls and chopsticks, served them rice, and asked them to use spoons to eat.

"Sister Ji, did you cook all these dishes?" Yuan Nanlin asked with a smile.

"I made these seafood dishes, and the others were made by my classmates."

"Ji Luo is a very good cook. The dishes she cooks taste great. I was lucky enough to eat them twice at the Shacheng Army Family Compound."

Lin Shizong still felt nostalgic when he talked about it, and he also made plans: "When it snows in winter, I will call my brothers to come to your house to eat hot pot. We will cook hot pot around the stove like last time. It tastes really good, better than what we cooked in a copper pot."

"Okay, you guys set a time and call me in advance so I can make arrangements." Ji Luo responded readily.

The two of them each packed some dishes and went to eat with Ji Luo in the corner. They came to her house today to ask her for help with something, and the three of them stood in the corner and talked while eating.

"Sister Minfang, are the wool yarns we sold these two days all provided by that comrade?" The squad leader had heard the key points of Ji Luo's words before.

Zeng Minfang nodded: "Yes, he is the director of the Ronghua Woolen Yarn Factory. We have known him for a long time, and Ji Luo has a lot of business dealings with him."

After that, he looked at Li Zhen and said to him, "His family is from Kyoto. He used to be the deputy director of the Shacheng Woolen Yarn Factory. We asked him for help in getting the provincial agency. Later, when we founded the home textile factory, we also invited him to invest in it."

Li Zhen was shocked. "He is the deputy director of the wool yarn factory? He doesn't look very old. He should be only two or three years older than us."

"He is about the same age as Rong Yan and others. He has worked in the Shacheng Woolen Yarn Factory for many years and has strong working ability," said Zeng Minfang.

"When I was in high school, my dad told me that a young reformer came to the Yarn Factory and carried out drastic reforms in the factory. In just one year, he fired nearly 30% of the middle and senior management. There was a strike and production suspension for a week at the Yarn Factory. It was a big deal at the time, but the two factions later confronted each other, and the young reformer side won in the end."

"I also heard that the wool yarn factory had very poor performance in the past few years. Sometimes wages could not be paid on time. It was not until the new deputy director took office and carried out reforms that it was revived."

Li Zhen really didn't expect that the young reformist leader was the person in front of him, but now he thought about it, he could vaguely guess that this person had an identity and background, and had support behind him, so he dared to take drastic actions as soon as he arrived in Shacheng.

"Sister-in-law, the woolen yarn factory is doing well now, no worse than my father's unit. The deputy factory director has now opened a factory in Kyoto. Has he resigned from the Shacheng woolen yarn factory and retired?" Li Zhen asked her.

"He handed over his job at the end of last year and resigned from there. He returned to Kyoto and started his own factory in line with the reform and opening-up policy. With the help of his family, the woolen yarn factory opened at the beginning of the first lunar month."

Li Zhen understood. He had guessed it right. The deputy factory director's family had a prominent background. He was probably arranged by his elders to go to Shacheng to train and gain experience. Now that the time has come, he will be transferred back to do the job himself.

"Sister-in-law, is Ji Luo going to continue to be the agent of his factory now?" Li Zhenduo asked.

"Ji Luo invested in a woolen yarn factory, and she is the second largest shareholder in the factory."

Li Zhen: "...This girl is awesome."

"Ji Luo is really too low-key."

The classmates in the class were all a little emotional, and they realized that they were really not at the same economic level as Ji Luo.
