The Great Era of Siheyuan

"You son of a bitch, you still want to taste my cooking skills, I'll add some ingredients to you so you can pretend!"

After saying that, Sha Zhu reached out his hand and wiped it next to the stove, then began to knead it into the meat filling.

If Li Wenqiang hadn't been watching, he would have had to pick his snot first and then put it into the pig skin to season it.

"Silly Zhu, if you're not afraid that Qin Huairu will get diarrhea after eating your food, then just add some more ingredients. If that doesn't work, you can just roll on the ground a few times. I don't mind anyway!"

Li Wenqiang saw his little action and said indifferently that he was not going to eat these things anyway, he just came here to entertain himself because he was bored.

By the way, check on him to see how he is doing and when his wound has healed. Then tell Xu Damao to give him another blow and let him continue to lie down!

When Li Wenqiang takes revenge, he never follows the principle of "you hit me, I hit you" and that's it. As long as the other person is not dead, he will come over and hit him when he remembers it.

When Sha Zhu heard Qin Huairu's name, he stopped what he was doing.

"What did you just say? Why is Sister Qin with you?"

Sha Zhu looked at him in astonishment.

"You get excited when I talk about Qinhuai District? Don't worry, I don't like her! She was the one who begged Xu Damao to intercede with me and asked me to take her back to the countryside! If you don't do it, your sister Qin will be hungry on the way!"

Li Wenqiang said casually while sitting on a bench nearby.

"Xu Damao? Why is there something about Xu Damao again? Are you three together?"

Shazhu Shazhu was stunned, he didn't expect Xu Damao was also here, then what was his relationship with Sister Qin?

"What's going on! Xu Damao went to the countryside to show a movie, and I went to the countryside to do some shopping. Is it a problem for Qin Huairu to take a ride? Or are you afraid that Xu Damao and I will knock Qin Huairu up on the way? Hehehehe!"

Li Wenqiang said this and laughed.

"you dare!"

Sha Zhu clenched his fists and glared.

"Fuck you! You idiot! My wife is so beautiful, why do I need a slut like Qin Huairu? Hurry up and make the rice balls, or I'll make you get out!"

Li Wenqiang gave Sha Zhu a good scolding!

Sha Zhu clenched his fists, thought for a while and went to the side to wash his hands, then chopped another piece of meat and added it in. Sister Qin would want to eat soon, and he couldn't let her go hungry!

Li Wenqiang smiled as he took the rice ball from Shazhu. This guy wanted to do something to add more toppings, but he was so upset by his words that he felt like he had eaten a fly. He didn't know whether to add or not.

After making sure that it was a gift for Qin Huairu and she also wanted to eat it, he willingly doubled the size of the rice ball. Looking at the one-pound rice ball in his hand, Li Wenqiang felt like a beggar.

"Well, isn't today just a beggar's meal? Haha!"

Li Wenqiang smiled and walked out. When he got to the construction site, he saw dozens of people working hard and sweating profusely, and nodded secretly in his heart.

The workers of this era were really simple and honest. If we push it back a few decades, most people would have awakened, or been overwhelmed by the boss's big pie, and they would be considered lucky to be able to eat some leftovers, and they had forced their lifestyle into survival mode.

"Hi boss!"

……

Seeing Li Wenqiang coming, all his workers started to greet him.

"Well, good morning! You've worked hard, so we'll have a snack at noon. Only when you're full will you have the energy to work. I'm away these few days, so if you have any questions, go find Deputy Director Li. I'll just take a look and then leave. You guys are busy, don't worry about me!"

After taking a quick look at the progress of the project, Li Wenqiang felt that there was no problem and turned around to leave.

"Hey! Li Wenqiang, stop right there!"

Li Wenqiang had just taken a few steps when he heard Zhu Ling's voice from behind. He turned around and saw her jogging after him.

"what happened?"

Li Wenqiang turned around and looked at Zhu Ling, whose forehead was covered in sweat. He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped her face.

Zhu Ling was stunned, then her face turned red with shame. She quickly pushed his hand away, took a few steps back, and said angrily.

"What are you doing!"

"Nothing. You're sweating all over. Let me wipe it off for you! Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Li Wenqiang said without changing his expression,

"Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? Don't do this again! Besides, you have a wife, this is not good, it will cause misunderstandings!"

Zhu Ling's voice became lower and lower, and in the end her cheeks turned red and she didn't even know what she was saying.

Li Wenqiang smiled and spoke softly.

"I'm sorry, I saw sweat on your face just now and I couldn't help it. I didn't pay attention. I will be more careful next time! Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

Li Wenqiang smiled. It seemed that this woman was somewhat interested in him. It seemed that he had a chance, so he skipped the topic directly.

"You called everyone here to work. I didn't know anything when I arrived at the yard. If I hadn't asked your wife, I wouldn't have known you were working in the steel mill. Shouldn't you have informed me about this? After all, I'm the manager of the company!"

Zhu Ling became a little angry as she spoke. When she came back, the door was locked and no one was there. She thought everyone here had run away!

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault. I didn't notice this problem. I thought you were going to find someone to build a cement plant and a brick factory, and you wouldn't be here in the next few days, so I forgot to inform you! You came at the right time today. This is the contract and construction payment for the new steel rolling mill project. Take it and deposit it into the account!"

Li Wenqiang took out a bag and handed it to her, then rummaged through his arms and took out the contract from the space using the cover of his clothes.

Zhu Ling looked at it and said with some surprise.

"There are more than 20,000 here, right? What kind of project is this that costs so much money?"

"Hmm~ more than 20,000? Sorry, I made a mistake, this is it!"

Li Wenqiang casually exchanged the bag he had just taken by mistake, without any abnormality on his face.

Zhu Ling's heart was not so calm. More than 20,000 yuan in cash, half a bag of banknotes, was a huge sum of money when the salary was only a few dozen yuan, but she just casually put it in the sack.

"Where did you get this money?"

Zhu Ling looked at him and asked seriously.

"Oh, you mean this! This is the grain purchase money from the steel mill. What I just gave you is the engineering payment between us and the steel mill. You should do the accounting yourself. Did Zhou Wenyi give you an account book before? She has a book with the material expenses of the past few days. You can calculate it."

Li Wenqiang said without changing his expression.

After hearing his explanation, Zhu Ling did not pursue the matter further. Twenty thousand yuan was indeed not a lot of money for the steel mill's purchases, but the fact that Li Wenqiang could get so much money showed that he was an important figure in the steel mill.

But can a buyer really just walk around with 20,000 or 30,000 yuan in cash?

Zhu Ling didn't think about it too much, but she believed what Li Wenqiang said in her heart and nodded.

"Okay, the account book is here, I will do the accounting."

"That's good. The construction of the cement and brick factories must be accelerated and a suitable location must be found as soon as possible. I have a feeling that our construction team will soon reach the peak of their career. We may be so busy that we won't even have time to rest. You must prepare for production and construction in advance. I'll tell you the bottom line. The investment in the brick and cement factories will not be less than 10,000 yuan, and they will continue to expand in the future. All I ask of you is speed!"

Li Wenqiang said lightly.

Originally he just wanted to make a small fuss, but in order to show off his skills in front of her dad, he tried his best to help out a little and let her dad see his abilities. Maybe when they were together in the future, Lao Deng would be less angry.

Zhu Ling opened her mouth and was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. When I get back I'll ask someone to help me find a suitable place."

"Well, this matter is very important. Thank you for your hard work!"

Li Wenqiang took the opportunity to pat her shoulder again. After patting her a few times, she seemed to react and stopped, saying sorry.

"Sorry, I just forgot again. It's too hot to remember!"

"No, it's okay! Just be more careful next time!"

Zhu Ling didn't know what her mentality was now. Li Wenqiang's unique conversation and temperament were like a bright moon in the dark night in this era, which deeply attracted her attention. Although she knew that he was married and had a beautiful wife and beautiful women around him, she still couldn't help but want to get close to him and get to know him.

"Well, thank you for your help! We will be hiring a lot of workers later. I admire the PLA soldiers who serve the country the most. We plan to recruit a group of workers next month to prepare for the next work. Your father must know many military leaders. See if he can introduce some retired engineers to us. It doesn't matter if they are old, weak, sick or disabled, as long as there are people!"

When Zhu Ling thought that the matter was over, unexpectedly Li Wenqiang threw another matter at her.

"Are you sure there will be so many things to do later? How many people are you going to recruit?"

Zhu Ling now felt like a fool. She could not keep up with Li Wenqiang's thinking at all. It seemed like Li Wenqiang was asking her to recruit people again while they were chatting.

"Of course, you have to believe me, I won't be wrong!"

Li Wenqiang said confidently, even if there is no project, why not start one yourself? Isn't it up to you to decide how many people you need?

"Okay then. I'll ask my dad to ask. There are several neighbors near our house who are in the army. I can also ask for you. How many people do you want?"

Hearing Li Wenqiang's affirmative words, Zhu Ling didn't bother to say anything else and agreed directly.

Li Wenqiang thought for a while and said.

"We need at least a thousand! But we won't recruit so many people at once. We'll have two or three hundred people in the first batch, and the rest will come later!"

Zhu Ling no longer wanted to tell whether his words were true or not. She had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to leave in two months.

"Wait, let me finish the work at the brick factory and cement factory first. I will ask you about the recruitment when I get back. I will let you know whether it is successful or not!"

"It's okay. Just ask about recruiting. If it doesn't work, that's fine. I can ask the Department of Veterans Affairs."

"Ok!"

After hearing what Li Wenqiang said, she didn't say anything else and decided to go back and ask. One thousand jobs, this is not a small matter.
