Siheyuan: I just want to live

After seeing Hou Debang off, Chen Feng suddenly realized that although he had a lot of tiger bone wine in his space, he didn't have any glass bottles to put it in! And he still needed a full 100 of them!

This made Chen Feng feel very distressed. He thought, "Where can I find so many glass bottles? Even if I run out to buy them right now, it's too late!"

Just as Chen Feng was about to return to the communication room to think of other solutions, a dazzling reflection suddenly shone on him. He squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the reflection.

It turned out that the place was filled with all kinds of glass products, including many wine bottles and glass canning jars of different shapes.

An idea immediately came to Chen Feng's mind, and he pushed the tricycle that had not yet been returned to Zhou Ping without hesitation and quickly rushed to the pile of glass products. He carefully selected more than a hundred bottles with lids from the neatly stacked Erguotou bottles.

After making his selection, Chen Feng went straight to the finance office and paid one yuan as payment for the bottles.

Sun Xiaojuan looked at the glass wine bottles recorded in the notebook and asked curiously, "Hey! Chen Feng, why do you need so many old wine bottles? You don't need so many for soy sauce and vinegar at home."

Chen Feng smiled and said mysteriously, "Sister Sun, don't worry about this. I have a use for it. By the way, I have to go out for a while. If the stationmaster wants to see me, please let me know when you go to work in the afternoon."

Sun Xiaojuan looked at Chen Feng, smiled helplessly, and said, "You are the gatekeeper. As long as the gate is not lost, what can the stationmaster ask you for? Just go out without worry! I will tell you if there is anything in the afternoon."

Chen Feng ignored the sarcasm in Sun Xiaojuan's tone, thinking that she was envious of him. But before leaving the office, he still said to Sun Xiaojuan, "Thank you, Sister Sun."

After leaving the finance office, Chen Feng rode his tricycle out of the scrap yard and headed straight for Dongzhimen.

Arriving at the grove near the steel mill where they had been last time, Chen Feng observed that there was no one around, so he put the tricycle into the space and went into the grove himself. Chen Feng found the open space where they had been last time and slipped into the space.

Chen Feng was busy in the space. He carefully cleaned each wine bottle, removed all the labels, and then set up a huge pot and put all the bottles in to boil for disinfection.

Although these wine bottles had been automatically disinfected when entering the space, cautious Chen Feng still thought it would be safer to boil them one more time.

Thirty minutes later, Chen Feng carefully took out the wine bottles and let them drain naturally. Then, he began to repack the precious tiger bone wine into these glass bottles and tied ten bottles into a group with fine hemp rope.

When everything was done, Chen Feng counted carefully and found that there were more than 120 bottles! This was more than 20 bottles more than expected. He thought to himself: "In addition to the share prepared for Brother Hou, there are still so many surplus grains that can be kept for backup. It can also come in handy when someone needs to give gifts in the future."

After finishing, Chen Feng left the space, froze all the fish and put them into sacks. Then he left the grove, released the tricycle, and loaded the things that Section Chief Hou wanted. Facing the cold Siberian wind, he continued to walk towards the steel mill.

When Chen Feng arrived at the gate of the steel mill, he found that the security guards on duty had been replaced. Perhaps it was the shift system that caused the change, but what remained unchanged was that they still stood guard at their posts, fully armed and carrying guns.

Chen Feng rode his tricycle to a stop next to the gate of the steel mill. Then, he walked towards the security personnel, handed each of them a cigarette with a smile, and said, "Hello, security comrades! My name is Chen Feng, and I'm here to deliver something to Section Chief Hou of the Purchasing Department. The tricycle is loaded with the items he ordered. Can you two comrades help notify him and ask him to come out to pick me up?"

In fact, the two security officers had noticed Chen Feng from a distance. They had been keeping a high level of alert, keeping a close eye on him, fearing that he was an enemy agent who was out to sabotage. However, when they saw Chen Feng approaching empty-handed and offering a cigarette, they relaxed their vigilance a little.

The two men took the cigarettes but did not light them immediately. Instead, they carefully put them in their pockets. One of them looked at Chen Feng and said, "Stand aside first and don't block the vehicles coming in and out. I'll go in and make a phone call to have him come out to pick you up."

After saying that, the man turned around and walked into the sentry box to make a phone call. However, the remaining person still looked at Chen Feng vigilantly and did not completely let down his guard.

Seeing this, Chen Feng said nothing, silently distanced himself from the other party, and walked to the side of the road. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it leisurely. His movements were natural and smooth, and he did not dare to do anything that might cause misunderstanding. After all, if he was shot just because of a small misunderstanding, it would really be an unprovoked disaster!

Soon the security comrade finished his phone call and returned to his post. Hou Debang also came out when Chen Feng finished his second cigarette.

As soon as Hou Debang saw Chen Feng, he said anxiously, "Brother! I've finally got you here! It's getting cold outside, let's go in quickly."

Chen Feng did not raise any objection to his words, but responded: "Then let's go in quickly! Store the items in the warehouse as soon as possible, so that Brother Hou can rest assured sooner."

Hou Debang couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and then the two of them pushed the tricycle to the door of the warehouse. With the help of other employees, they successfully completed the weighing and warehousing work.

After everything was settled, Hou Debang took out two thick stacks of banknotes from his briefcase. These banknotes were all brand new Great Unity banknotes, each stack had 100 notes, totaling 1,000 yuan.

Hou Debang counted the banknotes quickly, then took out some from the stack, counted them carefully again before handing them to Chen Feng.

Then he said with a smile on his face, "Brother Chen, this is 1650 yuan, 433 kilograms of fish, and 100 bottles of wine. Click and see if the amount is correct?"

Chen Feng took the money and put it directly into his schoolbag without counting it. He also said to Hou Debang with a smile, "Why count it? Don't I trust you, Brother Hou? When have you ever cheated me?"

Chen Feng believed that Hou Debang would definitely not tamper with the amount of money. After all, they would still have to cooperate in the future. If he did, it would definitely be discovered, and he would certainly lose face then.

Hou Debang laughed happily when he heard Chen Feng say that. He then said to Chen Feng, "Now that we are done with our work, let's go to my office and have some tea. Can you have lunch at our steel mill today?"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Chen Feng immediately waved his hand and said, "I really can't do it today. I skipped work to deliver something to you, brother. I have to go back now, otherwise it will be bad if I am late again in the afternoon and my boss finds out. Let's get together again next time when we have time, and I'll treat you, brother, is that okay with you?"

Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's refusal and did not force him to stay. He could only say angrily, "Okay then! Let's meet again next time. I'll take you out now."

Chen Feng and Hou Debang walked out of the steel mill side by side, chatting and laughing all the way, and unknowingly arrived at the gate of the steel mill. After Chen Feng waved goodbye to Hou Dekui, he got on the tricycle and drove happily to the scrap yard.

After arriving at the scrap yard, he parked the tricycle steadily and walked into the communication room. Chen Feng looked at his watch and found that it was almost time to go to work. Since he had eaten a lot of meatballs in the morning, he didn't feel hungry at this time, so he didn't plan to take out lunch from the space to eat.

When his eyes fell on the package on the table, Chen Feng suddenly realized that he had left in a hurry this morning and had not had time to open it. He walked forward curiously, carefully examining the package, secretly wondering what was inside.

Chen Feng opened the package gently, fearing that he would damage the items inside. Finally, he saw a flour bag with the logo of the steel mill printed on it. He reached out and picked up the bag, which felt heavy, probably weighing about ten pounds. Then, he untied the bag and took a closer look. As expected, it was filled with white flour.

Next to him, there were three bottles of oil, two large and one small. Chen Feng picked up the two large bottles, opened the caps and smelled them, and a strong bean aroma filled his nose. There was no doubt that these were two bottles of soybean oil.

The smaller bottle exuded a faint sesame oil aroma, which was definitely sesame oil. These oils all exuded an attractive aroma, and Chen Feng immediately decided to steam egg cakes for dinner.

In addition, the package also contained about one pound of pork belly, one pound of peanuts with skin, and one pound of melon seeds. In addition, there was a box of peach cakes weighing about half a pound, half a pound of white sugar, and half a pound of brown sugar.

Finally, I found half a pound of tea, which was packaged the same way as the one delivered when Hou Dekui came last time. It should be Longjing tea too.

Chen Feng checked everything carefully and secretly sighed in his heart: "It turns out that the welfare of the steel rolling mill is really good!" However, he also knew that his welfare should be specially prepared by Hou Debang. Ordinary employees could only get five kilograms of flour and one kilogram of oil, not to mention high-end products such as sesame oil and tea.

After a careful inspection, Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then placed the melon seeds, peanuts and peach cakes neatly on the table. Then, he put the rest of the items into the space.

After completing this series of actions, Chen Feng took out another bag of meatballs from the space. Just like in the morning, he sat back in his chair leisurely, holding a book in his hand, and his mouth was not idle either, reaching out to grab a meatball and putting it into his mouth to chew and taste it slowly. At this moment, unlike before, there were several more delicacies on the table, which made Chen Feng's enjoyment even better and his mood became more and more cheerful.
