"You can eat! But you can't come to my office anymore, and you can't bother me in the factory."

Yu Haitang smiled and nodded! "Okay, okay! Then I won't be polite!"

As long as Yu Haitang doesn't bother Zhang Jianjun, it doesn't matter if he has a meal of meat. Anyway, there is too much meat in the space to finish it, and he can eat it all by himself for at least several years.

Yu Haitang picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. It melted instantly and the delicious taste bloomed in her mouth. She exclaimed immediately.

"Wow! Isn't this so delicious? The braised pork is fatty but not greasy and melts in your mouth. The seasoning is just right. Jianjun, it's a waste of your talent to be a worker. You should be a chef!"

Zhang Jianjun rolled his eyes when he heard that. Being a chef is not as comfortable as being a technical consultant. He has to wait in the office until the end of the day. Not only is the chef exposed to smoke and fire every day, but he is also exhausted.

Seeing that Zhang Jianjun ignored her, Yu Haitang didn't bother to say anything else and immediately started to eat the food in no time.

In less than ten minutes, two boxes of meat and twenty large buns were all gone. Yu Haitang asked with some reluctance, "Jianjun, do you have any more? I want more!"

Zhang Jianjun was speechless: "Big sister, you ate eight buns by yourself, and you ate at least one and a half of these two boxes of meat. How come you are still not full?"

Yu Haitang touched her belly somewhat embarrassedly.

"I am full, but I haven't eaten meat for a long time. My stomach is full but my mind still feels hungry and I can eat more."

Zhang Jianjun raised his hand to look at the time. It was already twelve forty. He still had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy seeds today!

"Comrade Yu Haitang, you have finished your meal. I have something else to do at noon! Why don't you go back?"

Yu Haitang turned a deaf ear to Zhang Jianjun's words and stared at the Plum brand watch on Zhang Jianjun's wrist.

"Wow! A big gold watch. How much is this watch? What kind of gemstones are inlaid on it? Why does it shine so brightly in the sun?"

"Are you done yet? If you weren't a woman, I would have kicked you out long ago! You don't want to leave, right? If you don't leave, then I will."

Zhang Jianjun stood up, opened the office door, left Yu Haitang behind and left.

"Humph! Zhang Jianjun, I really like you more and more. I will not give up pursuing you. I will move to my sister's house tonight and see how you can escape from my clutches."

It was lunchtime and the supply and marketing cooperative was empty except for three or two sales clerks who were napping on their chairs.

Zhang Jianjun disguised himself as a farmer, wearing a straw hat on his head, cloth shoes on his feet, and a white towel around his neck.

"Hello, comrade. I am a village cadre. I am here to buy some high-yield seeds for collective planting next year."

The salesman yawned and asked, "What kind of seeds do you want? How many acres of land do you want?"

"Our village is quite big. I want 100 mu of potato seeds, 1 mu of leek seeds, and 1 mu of pepper seeds."

The reason why Zhang Jianjun only needs one acre of leek and pepper is that leek can survive for ten years after being planted once, and can be harvested five to seven times a year.

Like leeks, peppers are perennial plants that can be harvested multiple times by planting them once.

The salesperson was shocked: "What? A hundred acres of potato seeds? How are you going to transport them back? It's too far and we won't deliver!"

Zhang Jianjun was also worried when he heard this. He took it for granted. One acre of potatoes requires 300 kilograms of seeds, and one hundred acres requires 30,000 kilograms, a full 15 tons.

The old Jiefang trucks had a maximum load capacity of only five tons, which meant that one hundred acres of seeds needed three trips.

"It's okay! I drove a truck here. I'll do one trip at noon today, and then another trip in the afternoon. I'll finish the trip by noon tomorrow."

The salesman at the supply and marketing cooperative didn't hesitate and said, "The total is one thousand and fifty yuan. This potato seed is the latest variety and has a relatively large yield, so it's three and a half cents per pound. A total of 30,000 pounds, the pepper seeds and leek seeds will be given to you for free."

Although this kind of potato seeds is half as expensive as ordinary potatoes, it has a higher yield, so Zhang Jianjun didn't say anything.

"Thank you, comrade!"

Zhang Jianjun hurriedly took out a large bundle of banknotes from his back pocket, counted out one thousand and fifty yuan and handed it over.

The salesman took the money and counted it, then shouted loudly: "Xiao Li, a large shipment has arrived. Please find someone to go to the warehouse and bring five tons of potato seeds."

The porter, Xiao Li, was shocked: "How much? Did I hear correctly? Five tons of potato seeds? How many acres does he want to plant?"

The salesperson said unhappily, "You heard it right, five tons. The car is parked outside."

"Comrade cadre, please keep the receipt. Just show it next time you come to load goods." The salesperson said as he handed over a receipt.

Before long, eight porters were ready, pushing carts and bringing in cartloads of potato seeds from the warehouse.

Fortunately, Zhang Jianjun found a large supply and marketing cooperative, otherwise there would not be so much stock of these seeds.

It took eight porters half an hour to finish the five tons of potato seeds. There was nothing they could do about it because they were temporary workers and they earned money by carrying one bag of goods.

Zhang Jianjun drove the truck to a deserted corner and planted pepper seeds and leek seeds first, and then planted potatoes on the remaining land.

Generally, potatoes take ninety days to mature, and one acre can produce about 6,200 kilograms. They can be planted four times a year, which means more than two million kilograms of grain can be harvested.

If a person eats three kilograms of food every day, it will be enough for him to eat for 2,264 years. It's really terrible!

The only drawback is that potatoes are coarse grains and do not taste as good as fine grains such as rice and white flour, but they have a high yield and do not require much land.

The maximum yield of wheat per acre is 1,200 kilograms, while the yield of potatoes per acre is at least 6,000 to 10,000 kilograms, which is six or seven times that of wheat.

The high yield is also one of the reasons why Zhang Jianjun chose to grow potatoes. After all, the great famine is coming soon, and saving every person counts!

Zhang Jianjun returned to the steel mill before work. Three o'clock in the afternoon passed in a flash. Yu Haitang did not come to bother him again, and Zhang Jianjun was happy to have some free time.

After get off work, Zhang Jianjun drove to the big man's house again, then he planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and finally go home.

The courtyard was bustling with activity at this time. Teacher Ran had just got off work when she came to Zhang Jianjun's house without giving up. She firmly believed that her sincerity could move Zhang Jianjun, make him change his mind, and come back to her again.

Teacher Ran was waiting when a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears. "Ran Qiuyue, why are you here? It seems that you still don't give up on Jianjun!"

Teacher Ran turned around and saw the female police officer from the police station, Wu Lingyu, walking towards her with a lunch box.

"Who was that? It turned out to be our female police officer. What are you doing here looking for my boyfriend?"

After hearing Teacher Ran's sarcastic words, Wu Lingyu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Your boyfriend? I remember someone went to the police station to report him yesterday, how come he forgot about it today!"

Teacher Ran gritted her teeth in anger and said angrily, "Humph! I don't want to bother with you!"

"You're still too lazy to pay attention to me? I'm also too lazy to pay attention to you!" Wu Lingyu turned his head angrily, and neither of them paid any attention to each other.

At this time, Yu Haitang also came to the third uncle's house, intending to look for her biological sister Yu Li.

"Sister! Where is Jianjun's home? Take me there quickly! I will definitely capture him this time and make him your brother-in-law."

Yu Li looked at her naive sister and shook her head helplessly: "You are so naive, sister! Zhang Jianjun is too good, he doesn't like you, you should not have too much hope in him! Otherwise you will regret it."

Yu Haitang rolled her eyes at her sister and said unhappily, "I am so pretty and an announcer in the factory. Isn't it just a little Zhang Jianjun? I was easily taken over by him!"

"Okay!" Yu Li had no choice but to take Yu Haitang to the backyard.

"Hey! It's really rare! Two more beauties are here. My husband Jianjun is quite charming!" When Wu Lingyu saw the two sisters Yu Li and Yu Haitang, he couldn't help but teasing them.

"I've seen you! Aren't you the third uncle's daughter-in-law? Your name is Yu Li, right? Why are you here?" Teacher Ran pointed at Yu Li and asked curiously.
