Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

Cao Haotian immediately understood that Deputy Director Li was craving for meat again.

"Brother Li, who told you that I have a wide network of relationships?"

"That's what Lao Zhao from the Security Department said!"

Li Huaide continued earnestly, "Brother Cao, you don't know!

Our factory has to entertain leaders from above every now and then, and we really don’t have many dishes to serve recently.”

As the person in charge of logistics, he has to prepare everything, whether it is to entertain leaders from above or to host dinners for the factory director and some section chiefs.

But recently, the purchasing department has been unable to purchase meat products.

This made Li Huaide very helpless.

"No problem. I'll take care of it."

Anyway, there are several thousand kilograms of pork, beef, mutton and chicken in the space.

Just getting out twenty or thirty kilograms would not only help Li Huaide, but also help myself.

After all, Cao Haotian is now a buyer at a steel rolling mill.

It would be a bit too unreasonable if we couldn't purchase even a little bit of supplies for several days in a row.

Li Huaide was very happy to hear that Cao Haotian agreed to help.

In order to show that he was also a particular person, he specially gave Cao Haotian 20 meal tickets.

You need a meal ticket to eat in the steel mill canteen.

Meal tickets have to be purchased with money.

Cao Haotian was not polite and accepted the 20 meal tickets.

Although he is not short of money now, he would rather accept it than waste it.

Later, Li Huaide arranged Yu Li to work in the purchasing department.

There is no need to go out for purchasing, and the daily job task is to be responsible for counting and recording the materials purchased by the buyer.

For Yu Li, this job was quite easy. She had been to school before, so counting supplies, filling out forms and recording them in the accounts were no problem for her.

Because I was a temporary worker, my monthly salary was only 20 yuan.

Although they are temporary workers, their daily working hours and labor intensity are no less than those of regular workers, and they have to do more than regular workers.

After arranging work for Yu Li, Cao Haotian prepared a new lunch box for her and handed it to her along with the 20 meal tickets.

Yu Li never expected that the surprise Cao Haotian mentioned was actually finding her a job.

And she is quite satisfied with this job.

From this moment on, she can be considered a glorious laboring worker.

If not for the fact that there were many colleagues around, Yu Li really wanted to hug Cao Haotian tightly to thank him...

Afterwards, Cao Haotian left the steel mill on his bicycle.

The work has been arranged, and the next step is to rent a house outside.

After making inquiries from many sources, he rented a private courtyard about two miles away from the steel rolling mill.

There are three main rooms for living, and there is also a kitchen and a utility room in the yard.

The monthly rent for the five houses and the courtyard is 10 yuan.

The only furniture was a dining table, a wooden bed, a wardrobe and four small stools.

It’s not that Cao Haotian can’t afford a house. The assets in his space now can buy a city.

However, buying a house is illegal in this era, and there is no way to prove the source of funds.

So it’s better to keep a low profile and you can just rent a small yard to live in.

Although this yard is not newly built, fortunately the landlady has cleaned all five rooms very well.

There are many household items in Cao Haotian's space. He specially selected some pots, bowls, and pans without Russian words on them and placed them in the kitchen.

Sheets, bedding, quilts, pillows, washbasins, towels, etc.

After a simple tidy up, the three main rooms looked brand new.

Cao Haotian also placed more than ten kilograms of rice and flour, as well as cabbage, tofu, eggs, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. in the room.

This is what it’s like to truly live at home.

Lock all the doors of the main room, kitchen and courtyard.

Cao Haotian found another snakeskin bag and took out 10 kilograms of pork, two old hens that had just died, and 20 eggs from the space.

Ride your bike straight to the steel mill...

More than ten minutes later, he came to Li Huaide's office again.

"Brother Li, I got a piece of pork, two old hens, and 20 eggs."

Li Huaide stood up from his chair excitedly and walked quickly to Cao Haotian.

He opened the woven bag and took the piece of pork directly in his hand:

"This is a nice piece of pork. Where did you get it?"

"Brother Li, I think you should know that I know a deputy commander."

"Through the introduction of this deputy commander, I got to know a leader in charge of logistics in the army..."

"It's fine if you and I know this, but you must not tell anyone else, otherwise you won't be able to get any meat in the future..."

Without changing his expression, Cao Haotian lied tactfully.

Li Huaide nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would not say anything nonsense.

"This piece of pork weighs ten pounds in total. I was given the internal price, one dollar and twenty cents per pound. No meat ticket is required."

Li Huaide was very satisfied with the price.

Just this piece of fresh pork, if you take it to the black market, it will be sold for at least three or four yuan per pound, or even higher...

"These two old hens cost eight dollars each."

"Unfortunately, I was hanging on the handlebars and accidentally fell off, then was crushed by the wheel.

In order to ensure that the chicken did not taste fishy, ​​I bled the two old hens. "

Cao Haotian told another reasonable lie.

Li Huaide waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm going to eat it at noon anyway, it's good to bleed now..."

At this moment, Li Huaide took out 6 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Cao Haotian.

"Give me 5 kilograms of this pork..."
