I messed up the Siheyuan

Wang Ping and Chang Youtian are the two youngest people in Purchasing Department 3.

The leader arranged them to work face to face at a table.

Chang Youtian looked hesitant and conflicted ever since he sat down.

He wanted to talk to Wang Ping several times, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

The two of them sat so close.

Naturally, Wang Ping also noticed Chang Youtian's abnormality.

"Brother Chang, what's the matter?" Wang Ping leaned his head forward and asked in a low voice: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be polite to me!"

"Hmm!" Chang Youtian hesitated for a moment, but nodded and said, "Xiao Wang... can you... can you get eggs from there?"

"Uh!..." Wang Ping was stunned.

He knew why Chang Youtian was troubled.

Finding side dishes such as meat and eggs is the job of the purchasing clerk in the third purchasing department.

Chang Youtian, a buyer who specializes in this, asked another buyer for help.

Moreover, the person he sought help from was not only younger than him, but also had less experience than him.

This is indeed quite embarrassing.

"Brother Chang, what are you doing...?"

"Hey! Don't mention it..." Chang Youtian smiled bitterly, "Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, and she can't get enough nutrition!

At this time, let’s not think about the meat or anything like that.

There's no point in thinking about it!

Apart from the small ration you get every month, you can't get any other meat.

I thought about getting some eggs and making hot water for her to drink every day.

Isn’t this also considered nutritional supplement?

Who knows..." He sighed helplessly, "I wandered around the countryside for three or four days some time ago, but couldn't find any eggs at all."

"This... can't be!" Wang Ping asked in surprise: "I went there with Brother Zhao last month and saw some families raising chickens!

Or... you can ask Brother Zhao and the others?"

"I've asked! I've asked Brother Zhao, Brother Xiao, and Brother Lu." Chang Youtian said, "They can't get eggs either.

Pingzi, you don’t know!

The situation in the countryside is becoming more tense day by day.

After this month, you will still have chickens and eggs.

But I'll wait for you to come back next month...

Alas! ... Forget about the chicken and the eggs, you can’t even see a chicken feather.”

"No way!" Wang Ping said in surprise: "The country folks call the old hens that lay eggs 'chicken butt banks'!

Now even the chickens are killed and eaten?

This... is already so tense?"

"Who said it wasn't true?" Chang Youtian sighed heavily and said helplessly, "We are in the old city, so maybe we can't feel anything?

At most, the food is not good.

But in the surrounding countryside, there is nothing to eat.

Who cares about the "chicken butt bank" now?

They have stutters, so they need to fill their stomachs first."

"This... the area around Sijiu City is so large, it can't be like this everywhere, right?"

"That's not possible? But..." Chang Youtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Even if someone still has the chickens that lay eggs, the eggs can only be exchanged and not sold."

"Only exchange, not sell? What does that mean?"

"What else can it mean?" Chang Youtian explained, "People can't even afford to eat, so they keep the chickens to lay eggs, isn't it just to exchange for some food?

I checked a few shops and found some that still had eggs.

The cheapest one offered one egg for one pound of whole grains.”

"Ugh!..." Wang Ping said in astonishment, "So expensive! What about the fine grain? How do you exchange it for the fine grain?"

"Fine grain?" Chang Youtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "They don't even want to exchange for fine grain.

People are now thinking about changing to more coarse grains and eating them for a longer period of time to save their lives first.

If we switch to fine grains, we can finish them in one or two meals.

If we run out of food in the future, won’t we starve to death?

As for buying it with money...

Hehe! ...I took out the money and they didn’t even look at it. "

"Hiss!" Wang Ping took a breath and nodded slowly, "Brother Chang, why don't you exchange some coarse grains for some?"

"I do want to exchange it, but I have to have it!" Chang Youtian said helplessly, "Oh my goodness! ... One pound of whole grains can only be exchanged for one egg.

How many can we buy if our whole family saves money for a month?"

After that, he looked at Wang Ping expectantly, "How is it? Xiao Wang... can you get some eggs?"

"This..." Wang Ping lowered his head and pondered.

Corey's old purchasing agent couldn't even get eggs.

But Chang Youtian came to him?

Chang Youtian does not have the mentality of "whether there are dates or not, just try it".

After all, I had bought 15 kilograms of meat for Corey before.

He is pinning his hopes on the channel of getting the meat himself.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After all, I'm in procurement!

Just from the fact of the fifteen kilograms of meat, one can infer that he has special channels and can get some good things.

Unlike those ignorant people in the hospital, they thought they bought it on the black market.

How is it possible for meat to be circulated on the black market at a time like this?

"Hmm!..." Wang Ping nodded after thinking for a while, but didn't say anything.

This shocked Chang Youtian on the other side, and he asked excitedly: "Xiao Wang, are you really...?"

Before he could finish his words, the section chief, Li Guangwen, pushed open the door of the small office and walked out.

"Everyone, be quiet!... Let's have a small meeting..."

Chang Youtian glanced at Wang Ping with a hint of helplessness.

That means, let's talk later.

Seeing that everyone turned their attention to him, Li Guangwen nodded with satisfaction.

“In today’s meeting, we will mainly discuss two things.

The first one! ...

It’s Xiao Wang’s bicycle, which was delivered to him yesterday.

Start by understanding...

As a buyer in our third purchasing department, he has to start purchasing like everyone else.

As for the area he is responsible for...

I discussed it with Changhe yesterday...

First, give the Red Star Commune in his hands to Xiao Wang."

After saying that, he turned his head to Wang Ping and said, "Xiao Wang, are you okay?"

"Don't worry, leader. I'm ready." Wang Ping stood up and replied seriously and respectfully.

"Yes!" Li Guangwen nodded, and then said: "The second thing is to take this opportunity to talk to you all about...

Our factory canteen is running out of food again."

"Uh!..." Senior buyer Zhao Changhe was stunned for a moment and interrupted, "Chief, the 15 kilograms of meat that Xiao Zhao brought is going to be gone so soon?"

"It's been quite a while." Li Guangwen said helplessly, "It's been more than 20 days.

Mainly, here we...

After such a long time, nothing has been achieved.”

The words of Section Chief Li Guangwen made Zhao Changhe, the chief buyer of the Procurement Section 3, blush slightly.

He hesitated for a moment, then said with a bit of embarrassment: "Chief, it's really not that we didn't try our best.

Do you know what the situation is like outside now?"

"Changhe, you don't have to say these, I understand it in my heart!"

After saying this, Li Guangwen turned to look at everyone and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, everyone!

I, Li Guangwen, am not the kind of person who would do anything to suppress others just to report to his superiors.

I tell you all this with the thought: let’s do our best.

If it really doesn't work out in the end, the worst that can happen is we can just look for Deputy Director Li.

Anyway! ...As long as he shows up...he can always get something back..."

After saying this, he just gave a wicked laugh.

This immediately eased the tense atmosphere in the office.

"Then..." Zhao Changhe continued, "How much of the fifteen pounds of meat Xiao Wang gave me last time is left?"
