Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

With the Chinese New Year just a few days away, we have to get down to business.

After the Chinese New Year, Zengzhuang has to prepare for the next spring plowing. Zeng Wangcai has already made plans for what to plant in the village and how to plant it.

Zeng Wangcai also has ideas about what to do after the harvest.

The key here is... who will eat the food we grow!

Zeng Wangcai has already learned that Cao Wang is a very special person. This guy's background is comparable to Jiao Hua's, but his position is not as high as Jiao Hua's.

But what makes this guy special to Zeng Wangcai is his position.

Let’s put it this way, Cao Wang can decide what the leaders of some important government agencies and even some large compounds usually eat and drink.

Simply put, it is to manage a part of special supply.

Zeng Wangcai's current arrangement can probably ensure that nothing serious will happen at home for more than ten years, and this dinner party may be able to ensure that Zengzhuang will still be his own backyard for the next ten years.

"Cao Wang is not that easy to talk to." After finding out that Zeng Wangcai was going to Zengzhuang to treat guests, Jiao Hua said with a hint of meaning, "He usually eats in good restaurants or places like Fengzelou."

What he meant was that even if Zeng Wangcai invited him to have dinner in the countryside, he might not go.

Another meaning is that Cao Wang is not a simple person.

Of course, Zeng Wangcai knew this, otherwise he would not have asked Jiao Hua to invite him.

In the next ten years or so, only people like Li Huaide will be able to prosper.

"Just help me pass on the message, and you will be here by then." Zeng Wangcai smiled confidently, "Besides anything else, the chefs in our Zengzhuang are not bad. By the way, we also have a chef in our courtyard. These two people are guaranteed to have good cooking skills. In addition, the food and drinks are not home-cooked dishes. Many of them are brought by me from there."

"Don't try those crooked ways with me, kid!" Jiao Hua said sternly, "What do you want to do? You're throwing sugar-coated bullets one after another. Do you want Cao Wang to help you do something illegal?"

"It's a misunderstanding..." Zeng Wangcai chuckled, "You know, I brought back some seeds. These seeds have been registered with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. They will be planted in Zengzhuang next year. There are also some agricultural and sideline products in Zengzhuang. I thought, when the time comes, I will ask him to purchase a batch and let the leaders taste it..."

You have eaten Zengzhuang's food and have become accustomed to it. If anyone dares to touch Zengzhuang, you will be the first to get anxious, right?

This is Zeng Wangcai’s conspiracy.

Of course, Jiao Hua certainly could not see the far-reaching nature of this plan.

So it was happily settled. Jiaohua went to hire people, and Zeng Wangcai took the things back to Zengzhuang to prepare.

As for the courtyard, Sha Zhu was naturally no problem. Zeng Wangcai had agreed with him that he would go back to the village to help for a day.

The next day, Zeng Wangcai left the Mercedes-Benz behind and returned to the village with himself, Zhang Xiuzhi, who had just learned to drive, and Xiaobao, three people and three vans.

No matter how powerful a Mercedes is, it can't handle the dirt roads in the village.

Although Zhang Xiuzhi had just learned how to drive, her driving was as aggressive as her personality, and her bread came in first.

"Sister, are you going to give away so many good things for no reason?" Han Qiaosheng was holding on to the car door tightly on the passenger seat.

Han Qiaosheng also came. After he came back, he took advantage of the two days when Zeng Wangcai was away to meet with Jiang Hua, codenamed "Bamboo".

This made Han Qiaosheng feel that his decision to go to Jiangdao was extremely correct. Although he stayed in the warehouse every day in Jiangdao and saw and enjoyed nothing, he met Jiang Hua and gained a sum of money.

Han Qiaosheng thought Zeng Wangcai didn't know about his affairs, but the reality was that Zeng Wangcai knew them and just didn't want him to know.

Although it is a bit tongue-twisting, Han Qiaosheng's chess piece finally played some role.

"Don't say anything you shouldn't say!" Zhang Xiuzhi's answer was still as cold as before.

But the more this happened, the more relieved Han Qiaosheng felt.

After the car entered the village road, the speed slowed down. There was snow on the ground and the road conditions were not good. It was easy to get into an accident if you drove too fast.

The car driven by Zeng Wangcai and Xiaobao soon caught up and headed towards Zengzhuang on a bumpy road.

But at a fork in the road, something unexpected happened and Zhang Xiuzhi stopped the car.

"What's going on?" Zeng Wangcai rolled down the window and asked without getting out of the car.

"There's a broken tractor ahead!" Zhang Xiuzhi opened the car door and got out, turning back and saying, "It's someone from Zhujia Village, it looks like Lao Jiu!"

Zengzhuang and Zhujia Village are next to each other, and the road forks at this intersection, one side goes to Zengzhuang and the other side goes to Zhujia Village.

"Oh, I met an acquaintance!" Zeng Wangcai opened the car door and got out, and Xiao Bao also got out from behind.

Zeng Wangcai's dealings with the people of Zhujia Village can be traced back to the year he first arrived. The two sides had a group fight over pheasants, which also allowed Zhu Laojiu's son to enjoy unprecedented happiness.

I didn't expect to meet you here again. It's really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

"Hey, isn't this Wangcai?" Zhu Laojiu also noticed the situation behind him, and walked towards Zeng Wangcai with a smile. At the same time, he reached into his pocket and took out a pack of Red Peony, "Come and have a cigarette, I'll help you later!"

"The sun rose from the west?" Zeng Wangcai wondered, but did not reach out to take the cigarette.

"Look at you, why are you still holding a grudge?" Zhu Laojiu's smile did not fade, his hand still stretched out, "When did you come back? Don't you know that our two families have stopped fighting? Our eldest brother also went to the army, and he just came back..."

"What's going on? Don't fight anymore?" Zeng Wangcai didn't believe Zhu Laojiu and looked at Zhang Xiuzhi.

"Well, let's not fight anymore. The village chief even had a drink with him..." Zhang Xiuzhi answered concisely.

The two villages were old enemies. They had fought fiercely in the past for water and resources. It was hard to believe that they stopped fighting and made peace with each other.

But it’s true!

Speaking of the current situation of the two villages, it is all thanks to Zeng Wangcai.

After Zengzhuang became an experimental field, the seeds eventually flowed out through the commune, and Zhujia Village benefited from it and also started to plant crops such as cherry tomatoes.

Although the technology is not as good as that in Zengzhuang, resulting in lower output, life in Zhujia Village has improved after all.

Later, Zhu Laojiu heard about some things about Zeng Wangcai and slowly began to ease the relationship, leading to the current situation.

However, if you say that Zhu Laojiu let go of his hatred because he thought it through, that is not right. Everything is just about interests.

"Let me tell you, you don't believe what I say, but don't you believe what your wife says?" Zhu Laojiu followed Zhang Xiuzhi's words.

Zeng Wangcai nodded, but did not take Zhu Laojiu's cigarette. Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a few, threw one to Zhu Laojiu, gave one to Xiaobao, and lit one for himself.

This has become a good thing since I came back from Jiangdao. The procedure of taking out many things has been greatly simplified.

"You are so lucky!" Zhu Laojiu took the cigarette and thanked him. After lighting it, he asked Zeng Wangcai and others to help push the cart. "The road is blocked. You can't move unless you move it."

I had no choice but to go and help.

Fortunately, the tractor was not broken, but it slipped, so it didn't take much effort to get out.

"Thanks, Wangcai!" After the tractor came out, Zhu Laojiu came to the side of the van, touched the body of the van with envy and said, "You are really lucky. Is this the Wuling that Lao San mentioned? You are pulling so many things back to see your grandmother?"

"Why are you talking so much?" Han Qiaosheng said proudly, "My brother-in-law wants to treat us to a meal. He is inviting very important people to dinner. Let's hurry up."

"A treat? Is it the leaders of the commune?" Zhu Laojiu chased after him without moving, "I just came back from the commune, and I heard that the leaders said they were coming to Zengzhuang. So it's you who want to treat us. I heard that your village will plant new crops in the spring next year?"

"Who said that? That's nonsense. It's not happening. Let's go!" Zeng Wangcai denied it.

After they separated, Zhu Laojiu looked at the backs of Zeng Wangcai's three cars and murmured, "Want to eat alone again? No way..."
