Siheyuan: I just want to live

Not long after, Accountant Guan quickly and accurately calculated the amount of food that the farm would need.

He was seen walking in a hurry, holding a notebook with detailed data tightly in his hand, and returning to Chen Feng's side again.

After standing still, Accountant Guan said to Chen Feng with a smile and a slightly excited tone: "Director, everything has been calculated!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and handed the notebook filled with densely written numbers to Chen Feng.

However, Chen Feng waved his hand and did not reach out to take the notebook. He looked at Accountant Guan and said directly.

"I don't need to look at these data. Just tell me roughly how much food we need to reserve."

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Accountant Guan was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted, quickly retracted his outstretched arm, and carefully tucked the notebook under his armpit.

Then he cleared his throat and said seriously, "Director, if we calculate based on the average consumption of three kilograms of grain per person per day on our farm, then the entire farm will consume about 350 tons of grain per year."

After a pause, Accountant Guan added: "Therefore, in my opinion, as long as we keep 350 tons of grain, it should be enough to meet the needs of the whole year."

After hearing what Accountant Guan said, Chen Feng nodded slightly thoughtfully, but his eyes did not reveal any doubt about his calculation results.

However, Chen Feng had some different opinions about the amount of reserved food, so he just opened his lips slightly.

He slowly said, "Accountant Guan, although these 350 tons of grain are indeed enough to meet the daily needs of our farm at present."

"But the world is unpredictable. What if something unexpected happens in the next year? For example, natural disasters or other emergencies?"

"So, should we prepare for a rainy day and leave some reserves in advance for emergencies?"

"In my opinion, we might as well do more preparations and set aside a full 400 tons of food. This way we can feel more at ease. What do you think?"

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, Accountant Guan was stunned.

It turned out that the data of 350 tons of grain provided by Accountant Guan was not actually without reservation, and it already included more than 20 tons of surplus.

However, when he looked up and saw Chen Feng's serious and determined face, the words of explanation that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.

After all, Chen Feng was his immediate superior, so he had to listen to Chen Feng's words. And reserving more food didn't seem to be a bad thing for the entire farm.

So Accountant Guan finally chose to comply with Chen Feng's proposal.

Accountant Guan nodded without hesitation and responded, "Okay, Director, everything is up to you! Then let's reserve 400 tons of grain as you said."

Hearing Accountant Guan agree without hesitation, Chen Feng nodded contentedly to show his approval and praise.

Accountant Guan saw Chen Feng nodded slightly, and he felt relieved. He then said, "Director, if that's the case, I will immediately arrange for someone to transfer the reserved grain to another warehouse, okay?"

"It's a good idea to do this so that when the people from the steel mill come to transport the grain, they won't accidentally take away the portion we have reserved."

"After all, these reserved grains are the key to the subsequent operation of our entire place."

Perhaps because he was afraid that Chen Feng might not understand, Accountant Guan further explained to Chen Feng.

Seeing that Accountant Guan had considered it so carefully, Chen Feng nodded again to show his agreement, and added: "It should indeed be moved to another suitable place for storage, but remember to take moisture-proof and waterproof measures after the move is completed."

"Food cannot withstand the erosion of a humid environment. If it is damaged due to improper storage, it will be troublesome. After all, that is the food our farm needs for the next year!"

Hearing Chen Feng's earnest exhortation, Accountant Guan quickly responded: "Manager, don't worry! I have some common sense about waterproofing, moisture-proofing and rat-proofing, and I promise I won't let you down."

"If there is nothing else, I will go and organize people to move the food, and I won't bother you here anymore."

After saying that, he bowed slightly to Chen Feng, then prepared to turn around and leave to engage in the busy work of transferring grain.

However, just as Accountant Guan was about to turn around and leave, Chen Feng seemed to suddenly remember something.

So Chen Feng hurriedly shouted: "Accountant Guan, please wait a moment, don't leave yet, I have another question I want to ask you!"

Chen Feng's shout was like a gust of wind, quickly reaching Accountant Guan's ears. His body, which had already begun to turn, stopped instantly, as if it had been cast under a spell of immobilization.

Then, Accountant Guan quickly turned around again, facing Chen Feng, and asked with a respectful look on his face: "Director, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Seeing Accountant Guan's attitude, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then asked directly: "Um... Accountant Guan?"

"Regarding the 400 tons of food we have reserved, what kind of food do you plan to keep? More corn or more wheat?"

Facing Chen Feng's inquiry, Accountant Guan answered without hesitation: "Director, after careful consideration, I plan to keep half of the corn and half of the wheat, that is, 200 tons of each."

After listening to Accountant Guan's explanation, Chen Feng couldn't help but stretch out his right hand and gently stroke his chin, muttering in a low voice: "So that's how it is... Keep 200 tons of each."

Accountant Guan noticed that Chen Feng looked a little strange at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy, but he still bit the bullet and asked carefully: "Director, is there something wrong with the way I distribute food?"

Hearing Accountant Guan's question, Chen Feng slowly shook his head and responded softly: "It can't be said that there is any big problem."

After getting this answer, Accountant Guan's heart finally settled down a little and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But just when he thought the matter was over, he saw Chen Feng continue talking.

"But, Accountant Guan, can you please make some adjustments? Let's keep as much wheat as possible and reduce the amount of corn accordingly."

As Chen Feng spoke, he gestured gently with his hands, as if he was thinking about how to better express his ideas.

"You must be aware that most of the employees on our farm come from the surrounding villages."

"For these employees, they work hard every day and are reluctant to eat the white flour buns provided in the canteen."

"Instead, they bring the white flour buns home after get off work to provide some nutrition for their families."

Having said that, Chen Feng paused for a moment and looked at Accountant Guan.

"And if we follow the plan you made earlier to reserve food, I'm afraid that before long our farm cafeteria won't be able to supply white flour buns anymore."

"Once the steamed buns were changed to the kind of two-wheat flour products mixed with cornmeal, the workers would inevitably feel lost and dissatisfied."

"Will this affect everyone's work enthusiasm? So, should we reconsider the distribution of food?"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Accountant Guan's originally puzzled expression suddenly became serious. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he suddenly seemed to wake up, slapped his head, and muttered to himself: "Oh, it's true, my plan does have a big loophole."

Then, he raised his head, looked at Chen Feng anxiously, and asked quickly: "Then, according to your idea...how should we make the best adjustments next?"

Seeing Accountant Guan's humble attitude, Chen Feng smiled and responded slowly, "Accountant Guan, I think we can arrange it this way."

"First, of the 400 tons of food that have been set aside, 350 tons will be wheat, and the other 50 tons will be corn."

At this point, Chen Feng paused for a moment, then emphasized, "But it should be noted that the 50 tons of corn should not be used unless absolutely necessary, because they are mainly used to deal with possible emergencies and accidents."

"But in normal circumstances, try to eat wheat first."

After listening to Chen Feng's detailed explanation, Accountant Guan nodded repeatedly to show his agreement. He answered without hesitation: "Okay, Director, don't worry! I completely understand what you mean."

"I will do what you said right away! I will make sure this matter is handled properly."

Seeing Accountant Guan's statement, Chen Feng's face immediately blossomed with a warm smile. He nodded slightly and said softly: "Since you have understood what I mean, then you should hurry up and take care of this matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng's gaze fell on Accountant Guan, and his eyes revealed a hint of trust and expectation.

At this time, Accountant Guan heard what Chen Feng said, and he straightened up and responded respectfully: "Okay, Director! Please rest assured, I will do my best to handle this matter!"

"You are busy with your work, so please deal with other important tasks first. I will go and carry out the mission immediately!"

After saying this, Accountant Guan did not dare to delay for even a second. He quickly turned around and left Chen Feng's presence in a hurry, like a gust of wind.

Accountant Guan was fully aware of the urgency and importance of this mission and he had to race against time to arrange and implement the work of transferring grain.
