Counterattack in the chronology

The schedule was suddenly changed, and Sister Bai had no choice but to send someone to inform the cafeteria. She pulled Gu Lichun over and asked in a low voice, "Suddenly ahead of schedule, are you ready?"

Gu Lichun replied: "It should be no problem, I'll go over and make arrangements."

After Gu Lichun finished talking to Sister Bai, he went over and waved to Sun Houyu who had been guarding the park all the time: "Xiao Sun, how are things going?"

Sun Houyu said: "Brother Gu, don't worry, I got someone to do it early in the morning, and everything is ready."

Gu Lichun nodded, and asked Sun Houyu to go there first with the cook and helpers, and then he led everyone there.

The swamp is some distance away from the pig farm, and they have to drive there.

This road has been repaired. Although it is only a gravel road, it looks very flat when driving on it. There are lush trees on both sides of the road, and occasionally there are a few pear trees and apple trees. The branches are full of fruits, which is very gratifying to look at.

When the deputy director saw the fruit trees, he suddenly felt emotional: "Speaking of which, when I was young, I also came here with the old leader. At that time, the farm was first established, and there was still a large wasteland here. I remember that there were many fruit trees. really not bad."

The talker sighed slightly, and said with regret: "The farm used to have an orchard, but it was cut down later."

We all know why it was cut off, and did not elaborate.

Gu Lichun rolled his eyes and felt that the opportunity came again, so he took advantage of the opportunity and said: "Although the orchard has been cut down, there are still a few fruit trees in the woods of Wuchang, including apples and pears. I will let someone pick them later. Try to see if it tastes the same as back then."

Deputy Director Nian smiled, "Don't bother me, I just said it casually."

They were talking, and the sightseeing car approached the swamp again. The swamp was composed of large and small puddles and swamps. From a distance, the water surface was vast and boundless. Being startled, the sky is densely packed, and the scene is very spectacular.

The car drove further and came to a highland in the middle of the swamp, on which a row of wooden houses and thatched houses were built, where the staff lived.

The driver stopped the car, and Gu Lichun led everyone up.

As soon as they got to the high ground, they felt that their vision suddenly widened, and they had a panoramic view of the surrounding scenery. Under the sunshine of autumn, the puddles, big and small, shone like a mirror like a mirror, shining with dazzling light.There is also a lotus pond in the center of the puddle. The lotus has already bloomed and withered, and there is only a green lotus leaf on the water surface.The green and yellow reeds are swaying and dancing in the wind, and various water birds are flying among the reeds for food.The wind blows over, carrying damp moisture and a faint smell of water.

There are several willow trees in the middle of the high ground, and under the trees are seven or eight pots and stoves made of stones, and the stove is made of stone slabs.It was originally a place where the duck-herding workers cooked. After Gu Lichun saw it, he asked people to make a little rectification and make the stove wider so that it can be used as a table.There is a circle of stools around the stove, and everyone sits around it, which is quite atmospheric.He once took his younger siblings and the staff of the pig farm to have a picnic here, and the response was very good.

Everyone found a place to sit down, and someone came over to pour tea immediately.They were drinking tea and chatting, when they heard a loud whistle on the surface of the water, an old man wearing a bamboo hat came out from the reeds in a small boat, and there were two young men on board, each holding a A long bamboo pole is driving geese and ducks back.

The white flock on the left side of the boat is the big geese, and the taupe flock on the right is a flock of ducks. The wide water surface seems to be occupied by these two groups of guys.The geese stretched their necks and screamed into the sky, the ducks quacked all the way, and the calm water surface became lively. Everyone watched and discussed with great interest.

Gu Lichun said: "These geese and ducks usually go out in the morning and come back in the evening. Now that they come back at noon, the geese and ducks are still not used to it. So I only let them rush back part of it."

Ye Beilin asked from the side: "Comrade Gu, how many ducks do you have now?"

Gu Lichun replied: "This is our first trial breeding this year, and we didn't dare to raise more. We only raised two or three thousand."

Ye Beilin nodded: "The natural conditions of your Wuchang are quite suitable for raising ducks. These ducks seem to be in good spirits."

Gu Lichun knew that Ye Beilin was in charge of animal husbandry, so he wanted to show his strength and determination in front of him, and said, "You are right, the natural conditions in Wuchang are indeed suitable for raising geese and ducks. There are a lot of shrimps, and the cost of raising geese and ducks is very little, probably because of the good water quality, the mortality rate of ducklings is extremely low.”

Ye Beilin paid special attention to the last item.He wanted to have a more in-depth and detailed exchange with Gu Lichun, but when he saw that he still had so many things to do, he smiled and said, "Comrade Gu, you go greet other people. I will stay at the guest house in the central town at night. Let's talk again when we have time."

Gu Lichun said softly: "Okay, I'll treat you to supper tonight, let's have a good chat."

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly, and Gu Lichun greeted others.

Gu Lichun asked people to drive some fat male geese and ducks to the shore, and said to everyone: "Okay, you can catch geese and ducks, and we will stew whichever one you catch."

Everyone couldn't wait a long time ago, gearing up one by one, ready to end.

The scene was chaotic, and the geese and ducks were chased and ran around.Deng Chang was the fastest, first he caught a fat duck, and then he caught a big fat goose. Deputy Director Nian was also quite nimble, and with the assistance of Yang Aiguo, Wang Youcai and others, he caught a duck , but when it came time to catch the goose, they encountered a strong opponent. The big goose was very fierce, and the male goose was even more fierce. Whoever caught it, it stretched its neck and pecked at him.After being pecked several times, Wang Youcai grinned his teeth in pain, and everyone laughed unkindly.

Everyone was catching geese and ducks, and the accompanying reporter was holding up a camera to take pictures. Gu Lichun also had a camera with him, and he took a few pictures, including two close-ups of the water surface.

In this activity of catching geese and ducks, Ye Beilin was the most experienced. He caught two geese and two ducks with ease.The worst thing was the head of the talk, he caught a circle, only caught a handful of duck feathers.Gu Lichun couldn't bear it, so he helped him catch a duck.

The director of the talking room laughed at himself: "I'm old, I can't even do anything to a duck."

Deng Chang comforted: "It's not old, it's just that I haven't exercised enough."

In the end, everyone counted the harvest and found that they had caught a total of twenty ducks and fifteen geese, and they tried to catch them all. Because the geese and ducks saw that the situation was not good, they jumped into the water and escaped. Duck sighed.

Although the harvest was not as expected, everyone was very excited and commented on other people's achievements.

"Old Cheng, the duck you caught is a bit small."

"Hehe, the smaller ones are more tender."

"Oh, old Wang, your hand hurts from being pecked by a goose, right?"

……

Gu Lichun called someone to come over, took the geese and ducks down and slaughtered them, and they were ready to be stewed in a while.

Not long after, someone from the cooking class came out holding a big iron pot.

Deputy Director Nian said in surprise, "Is it true that the big goose is stewed in an iron pot, just here?"

Gu Lichun smiled and said: "The scenery here is good, the view is wide, and it is brighter than in the house."

Deputy Director Nian nodded: "It's not bad here."

Immediately afterwards, someone started to make a fire with charcoal, and the chopped goose meat was also brought over. The cooks also came out one after another. These cooks were young men and women, all of whom wore snow-white aprons. Wearing a tall white hat, he was clean and fresh.They quickly poured oil, choked the pan, and fried goose and chicken.

Everyone was amazed.

Gu Lichun said: "The goose stew takes a long time, let them do it first, let's go fishing, there are fishing rods and nets over there."

Everyone started to flock to fish again.

Just now we talked about the director not being good at catching geese and ducks, but he was good at fishing. He was the first to catch a carp.

"Haha, I caught it first." The talker seemed very happy, and his spirit seemed much better.

Then there was Secretary Shi, who also caught a big fish, and couldn't help showing a smile on his serious face.

From time to time, there were cheers and jumps by the puddle.

"I caught it."

"I caught it too."

……

There were a lot of fish in the water, and Gu Lichun added material to the bait, so fishing was easy.

Almost three fish per person, Gu Lichun picked some big fish and asked people to take them down and clean them up for cooking.

After fishing, there is egg picking.

Gu Lichun led everyone down the high ground and stopped in front of a grass field in the middle of the puddle.

Everyone was shocked by the duck eggs and goose eggs all over the floor.

Gu Lichun pointed to the grass and said: "In the beginning, a small number of geese and ducks laid eggs here, and then all of them came here, and now it has become a habit. The staff will surround the grass at night with barbed wire, so as not to be disturbed by wild animals. Destruction, come back to pick eggs the next morning. Everyone likes this job very much, saying that seeing eggs all over the ground will bring joy and happiness of a good harvest.”

It was true, and they also felt joy and happiness at this time. Everyone carried the basket and began to bend down to pick up the eggs.

Secretary Zhu followed Deputy Director Nian and the director of the talk team behind them, happily picking up eggs.

Deng Zhang also picked up a basket, but he was puzzled: he was here last time, are there so many duck eggs?

He couldn't help looking at Gu Lichun, Gu Lichun had a calm expression on his face.

Ye Beilin from Hongri Farm looked at the goose eggs and duck eggs carefully for a while, weighed them with his hands, and said to Gu Lichun: "Comrade Gu, the goose eggs and duck eggs here are bigger than those in other places, and what you said is true." .”

Gu Lichun said modestly: "This is our first trial breeding this year, and we are crossing the river by feeling the stones. Comrade Ye is an expert, please guide us a lot."

Ye Beilin smiled and said, "I don't dare to be a guide, let's learn together."

Deng Chang looked at Ye Beilin, he seemed to have heard Gu Lichun mention that he had a pen pal with Longjiang, could it be this person?

With the hard work of everyone, the eggs in a field were picked up, put in baskets and sent to the warehouse.

After picking up duck eggs, they returned to the high ground and found that the goose meat in the iron pan had been stewed long ago, and there was a burst of fragrance in the air. There was goose meat here, stewed fish there, and there seemed to be the smell of chicken.

The longer the stewing time, the stronger the aroma. Everyone ate breakfast early, and lunch was delayed for nearly an hour. At this time, their stomachs were empty, and stimulated by the aroma, their desire for lunch became stronger.

Everyone was able to hold back with restraint at first, but in the middle, the big guy couldn't help but look in the direction of the iron pot frequently.

Seeing this, Gu Lichun cleared his throat and said, "The meal is almost ready, let's go to the table first."

An experienced person asked: "Does this goose meat have to be stewed for an hour? It's not up yet." Although he was very hungry, he still had to wait for the meat to be cooked.

Gu Lichun explained: "Old geese and big geese need to be stewed for a longer time. Our goose is this year's new goose, and 40 minutes of stewing is enough. There are other dishes on the table, so let's eat first."

The so-called dining table is a large stove next to the iron pot, which is wiped clean. Everyone sits in a circle, and there are several dishes on the stage. It's not hot, but it's interesting.

However, their seats are also very particular. Gu Lichun didn't know much about it, so he asked Secretary Zhu and Deng Chang to arrange them.

As a result, Deputy Director Nian, Director Tan, and Secretary Shi were assigned to the middle table, accompanied by Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu. Yang Aiguo and Wang Youcai, as the entourage of Deputy Director Nian, were also arranged at their table table.Others just do whatever they want, and form their own tables according to their familiarity with each other.

Gu Lichun originally planned to sit at Ye Beilin's table and make friends with everyone.

In the end, Deputy Director Nian called them to their table. However, the seats are limited. As soon as he came, Wang Youcai was tragically eliminated.

Wang Youcai: "..."

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the meal to be courteous, so as to make up for his mistake in the morning, but Gu Lichun appeared halfway through.

Wang Youcai felt aggrieved and angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face.

Yang Aiguo sat on the left of Deputy Director Nian, Gu Lichun sat on his right, and on the other side of him was Deng Chang.Gu Lichun is the youngest on the table and the lowest position.He played the role of waiter obligingly.

He carried a pair of large spoons and turned the goose in the pot. It seemed that the goose was half-ripe and ready to add vegetables.Without him calling, Sun Houyu came over with a basket of chopped potatoes, eggplants, and beans.Gu Lichun put the vegetables in the pot to stew, and then someone brought a pot of rolled dough, which was to be pasted on the side of the pot.Everyone was very interested, and each took a pancake and pasted it on the edge of the pot in front of them.Gu Lichun put the lid on the pot and waited patiently for the vegetables and pancakes to be cooked while greeting everyone to eat.

The other dishes on the table are also quite distinctive. There are meat and vegetables, hot and cold, spicy or light, and every dish tastes good.

Everyone ate a few mouthfuls of food and stuffed their stomachs, not as hungry as before.

At this time, the goose meat is also stewed.

As soon as the pot was opened, the heat was steaming, and there was a smell of meat, and the goose was stewed into golden brown, which greatly increased the appetite.

Gu Lichun also asked people to bring a few spoons and five pairs of long chopsticks to serve as serving chopsticks, and let the guests do it themselves, and everyone was very happy to do so.

Everyone raised their chopsticks to taste and express their opinions.

Deputy Director Nian said: "This goose meat is really good, the meat is firm, tender and fragrant."

The others also nodded in agreement: "Really, I didn't expect this swamp to be suitable for raising geese and ducks."

Secretary Shi praised Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu: "Xiao Deng, Xiao Zhu, you have done a good job."

Gu Lichun was used to hearing people call Lao Deng and Lao Zhu, but when he suddenly heard Xiao Deng and Xiao Zhu, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

The goose meat was cooked, and the stewed fish and chicken over there were also cooked. Gu Lichun went over and brought two pots over.After everyone tasted it, the stewed fish tasted very good, and the stewed chicken was also delicious. After the dishes were served, workers brought a jar of rice wine and a bottle of bamboo leaf green to each table.

With wine to add to the fun, the atmosphere at the dinner table is even more enthusiastic.

Everyone was pushing cups and changing cups, joking and joking, it was so lively.

Gu Lichun also drank a few cups, he acted like he was too drunk, everyone believed him except Deng Chang, because he got angry when he drank.

Gu Lichun looked at the group of leaders. Except for the leader of the chat room who was older and slightly weaker in fighting power, the fighting power of the others was full, and they were very ruthless with their chopsticks. A big goose was quickly wiped out. The pot of stewed chicken and stewed chicken The fish was also quickly disposed of, the pancakes were long gone, and Gu Lichun sent another half basket of steamed buns and half a bowl of rice.

Their table was quite reserved, and there were some leftovers. Looking at other tables, even the soup in the pot was used to mix rice.

The big guy himself was a little embarrassed, and someone explained: "Haha, your five games are so delicious."

"I'm so hungry."

……

It was past three o'clock after they finished their meal.

Everyone went around again, and when it was around five o'clock, Sister Bai would arrange for them to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

Deputy Director Nian waved his hand: "I won't eat dinner, I'm too full for lunch. Why don't we go back to the guest house, thank you all for your hard work today."

Others also chimed in.

Secretary Zhu said with a smile: "No hard work, no hard work, this is what we should do."

After the visit and the meal, today's trip can be over.

Gu Lichun asked the driver to drive the big guy all the way to the guest house in the central town. Gu Lichun went over to identify the door and told Ye Beilin that he would come to see him at night.He went to ask his uncle if he would like to come and live at home, Yang Aiguo said: "Forget it, anyway, I have just been to your house, and the leader is here, so I can't do anything special."

Gu Lichun thought about it, and said, "Tell me someday when you have time, and you have to go to the house anyway."

Yang Aiguo nodded in agreement.

Gu Lichun asked where Deputy Director Nian lived, and Yang Aiguo said, "He originally shared a room with me, but I heard that he is going to a nearby comrade's house tonight. You can come to my room to sit at night."

Afterwards, everyone shook hands and said goodbye.Draw a successful conclusion to today's visit.

On the way back, Deng Chang told Gu Lichun that according to the order, they should go to three games today and four games tomorrow, but for some reason, they came to five games first.

Gu Lichun counted the time, and there was one day for each sub-stage, and there were two days left. The last day was hosted by the main field, and the farewell banquet was also attended by leaders at the level of Deng Chang and Secretary Zhu, and he basically had nothing to do afterwards.He has to hurry up and chat with Ye Beilin, and it is best to finalize the cooperation matters for next year.

Everyone spent a lot of physical and mental energy today, especially Gu Lichun, who was like a vegetable short of water on the way back, wilting for a while.

Sister Bai smiled with concern: "Our little Gu is exhausted today, you performed really well today."

Gu Lichun cheered up and said, "Thank you, Sister Bai, for your compliment, and thanks to you for speaking for me today."

When Sister Bai mentioned Wang Youcai, she still felt a little annoyed. Considering that the leader was present, she couldn't scold others, so she could only comfort Gu Lichun: "Don't pay attention to this kind of winking person, don't you see that Director Nian doesn't like him? ?”

Gu Lichun nodded, Wang Youcai was stealing the chicken but not taking the rice back.

When the sightseeing bus arrived at Wuchangchang, everyone got off the bus and had another simple meeting.

Sister Bai discussed with Gu Lichun: "I changed my mind temporarily and didn't let everyone visit our non-staple food factory because I think the first four places already represent our five games. It’s on the right track, I’m afraid there will be a contrast between them. The things our workers make are okay, but I always feel that they are almost tasteless. See if you can ask your mother to come over and help, and the cafeteria can ask for a leave.”

Gu Lichun smiled and said, "Sister Bai, isn't my uncle here this time? I asked my mother to make dozens of cans a few days in advance, and I plan to bring them to my aunt. If it's just a gift, my family can spare some of them. "

Sister Bai said seriously: "No, you can't let your family pay for it. In this way, you can estimate the material cost and deduct it from the expenses."

Gu Lichun shook his head: "I don't think so, the funds are in my hands, so the impact of such a move is not very good, the cost of materials is not much, and I can afford it."

When Sister Bai saw him like this, she didn't force her.

But she still asked the logistics staff to send two bags of soybeans and five catties of oil to Gu's family, which was regarded as covering the cost of materials.

Gu Lichun called Zhao Gao and said, "Go and tell the chefs to make some wontons. I will deliver supper at the guest house at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Zhao Gao repeatedly agreed, Gu Lichun dragged his exhausted body home, fell asleep right away, didn't even get up for dinner, Tian Sanhong was very distressed.

After sleeping until 7:[-] in the evening, Gu Lichun got up to wash his face, brush his teeth, and change clothes. Tian Sanhong thought that his son hadn't eaten dinner, and heard that he was going to the guest house to deliver supper, so he quickly baked a dozen scallion pancakes for him On the bag: "Your uncle is here, but he didn't come to eat. You send it to him, and you eat something yourself."

Gu Lichun nodded, and took a few bottles of tempeh, chili oil, and pickles from home. At 8:[-], Zhao Gao and Wu Pang arrived in a sightseeing car with several large buckets of freshly cooked wontons.

Together they go to the guest house in Central Town.

Speaking of these people in the guest house, they didn’t finish their lunch until 3 p.m., and the dinner time in the farm canteen was usually between 5:7 and 8 p.m. They were not hungry at that time, but they started to get hungry after [-] p.m. There are also restaurants, but at this time they have already passed the business point, and they all regretted it. If they knew it earlier, they would go to the cafeteria, even if they eat less. I heard that the cafeteria in Wuchang is also famous for its delicious food.

Ye Beilin was also hungry, but he remembered that Gu Lichun said that he would bring him supper tonight, so he waited patiently.

Seeing his expectant look, everyone asked, "Lao Ye, what are you looking at? Waiting for someone?"

Ye Beilin told the truth: "Wait for someone to bring me supper."

Everyone burst out laughing.

As soon as the laughter fell, I heard someone greet the front desk: "Hello comrade, I'm Gu Lichun from the fifth show, I'm here to deliver supper to everyone, do you still need to register?"

As soon as he heard that Gu Lichun was delivering supper, the comrade in the room closest to the reception opened the door and came out, warmly greeted him: "Comrade Gu, thank you for your hard work. It's so late, and you still brought us supper."

People from one room came out, and the others also popped their heads to inquire about the news.

After a while, the lobby of the guest house was full of people.

While everyone was eating wontons, Ye Beilin hurriedly filled a bowl and went back to the house, ready to chat with Gu Lichun while eating.

Gu Lichun said: "You go back to your room first, I'll give my uncle something to say hello, and I'll be back to find you in a while."

After Gu Lichun finished speaking, he filled a large bowl of wontons in a lunch box, and took the scallion pancakes made by his mother to knock on the door of Yang Aiguo's room.

As soon as Yang Aiguo opened the door, seeing Gu Lichun, he smiled all over his face: "You have been tired all day, and you came here to deliver supper at night."

Before Gu Lichun opened his mouth to speak, he heard Deputy Director Nian's hearty and loud voice from inside the room: "Xiao Gu, it's so late, and you specially brought me supper, you are a good and careful comrade, come in, come in and stay a little while."

Gu Lichun: "..." After working in the auction industry for a whole day, he really didn't want to chat with him anymore.
