Chapter 15 Li Guofu’s happy event

Tonight, Zhao Wenmu came to take credit again!

Old Uncle Chen didn't say anything. It was too late for him to be grateful to Zhao Wenmu now!

It was precisely because he followed Zhao Wenmu that the eldest grandson’s betrothal gift money became known.

His wife and eldest son are not in good health, and the family has been having a very difficult time in recent years. Although the eldest grandson is well-behaved and sensible, no one has been willing to marry their daughter into their family.

Seeing that the eldest grandson is already 25, the old man feels anxious.

A few days ago, I finally talked about a family in Xiaowa Village in the mountains. The girl had a good temperament and appearance, and the two boys liked each other.

Old man Chen was very happy because his eldest grandson's marriage was not settled and he would not be able to rest in peace until his death.

But that family also wanted to marry their son, and they had to ask for a bride price of 200 yuan, otherwise they would not agree to the marriage.

In this era, it is very common to ask for a bride price when marrying a daughter, and then use the money to find a wife for the son.

There are even couples who change wives.

That is, one's own daughter marries into the other's family, and the other's daughter marries into one's own family.

There is no way, poor people are like this.

I don’t know how many girls have sacrificed their lives for the boys at home.

How different is it actually from Zhao Jing marrying Zhao Wenmu?

The money earned by several elderly people from selling game in the past few days has not been divided for the time being, and it has all been given to Old Man Chen.

Uncle Chen's eldest son just took the money to the other party's house today to finalize the marriage.

The old man's guilt towards his eldest grandson was finally relieved.

He was very grateful to Zhao Wenmu at this moment, not to mention that Zhao Wenmu only gave him credit for one day and would pay it back soon.

When Zhao Xuehai heard that Zhao Wenmu lent money to the "lone hero" Zheng Guangming, a smile appeared on his stern face.

He kicked Zhao Wenmu.

"You finally did something good this time! Okay, that's it. Your Uncle Chen and Uncle Song are just as good as this one or two."

"Okay, thank you everyone!"

The next day, Zhao Wenmu went to a state-owned hotel to deliver goods, but Li Guofu was not in the hotel. Wang Youming told him that Li Guofu had gone to the city for a meeting.

"What kind of meeting is Director Li going to the city for?"

Wang Youming has a simple personality, and they are similar in age. When talking to Wang Youming, Zhao Wenmu is very casual.

Wang Youming smoked the cigarette handed over by Zhao Wenmu and took Zhao Wenmu to hide under the big willow tree on the roadside, obviously wanting to chat more.

"It was a meeting at our state-owned hotel and guest house in Quancheng City. Master was so happy when he left that his face almost burst into laughter."

"Oh, is there something good?"

"Yesterday, Deputy Mayor Cheng, who is in charge of health and catering in the city, was full of praise for our game banquet. He said that it not only reflects our local characteristics, but also increases farmers' income. We can consider making it a business card of Pingyang County. Come together.

Deputy County Magistrate Zhou and Deputy Director Liu later called Master to have a talk, and then today our city’s state-owned hotel system held a meeting.”

Wang Youming lowered his voice and said.

This is indeed a good thing.

In his previous life, Li Guofu had to wait several more years before becoming the director of a state-owned hotel in Pingyang County.

The current director is getting older and will retire soon. Li Guofu originally had good qualifications, age, and ability, and was considered the designated successor, but he was cut off by others.

Shengsheng sat on the bench for several more years.

In this life, it seems that the old director will soon step aside to make way for someone new.

After all, he is now appreciated by the leader of the leader.

Of course, officials in this era are still very pragmatic, and they will not blindly hold a game feast just because of a word from the leader. They will inevitably conduct some investigation and demonstration.

Pingyang County has unique conditions and is indeed suitable for the development of the game industry.

Zhao Wenmu felt that this matter would probably not be an accident.

He patted Wang Youming on the shoulder and said mysteriously:

"Don't worry, your master will do something good soon."

Wang Youming didn't expect so much, so he just scratched his head and smiled.

Sure enough, when we returned to the state-owned hotel the next day, Li Guofu was already waiting at the door.

There was unconcealable joy in his brows and eyes, and his plump face looked exactly like the smiling Maitreya when he sat on the lotus platform.

"Director Li, what's the good news? Look how happy you are!"

"Xiao Zhao, what a good thing, what a great thing!"

He took Zhao Wenmu aside to talk, while Zhao Wenyuan and Wang Youming went to unload and weigh the goods.

"Xiao Zhao, the city plans to promote wild vegetable banquets in thirteen state-owned restaurants in the city. From now on, you will also supply the wild vegetables to the two state-owned restaurants in the city!"

Ah, what a big pie fell from the sky!

"Thank you so much, Director Li!"

Zhao Wenmu knew that Li Guofu had won this for him. Although Quancheng City was very close to Pingyang County, transporting wild vegetables from Pingyang County was definitely not the best choice for the city's state-owned hotel.

But they still agreed.

"This is all in exchange for the recipes and slogans you taught. You deserve it."

Even so, without Li Guofu's efforts, he would certainly not have been able to win such a large order.

Zhao Wenmu expressed his gratitude again and again, but Li Guofu stopped him.

"I should be the one thanking you!"

"Oh, what do you mean?"

Although Zhao Wenmu had already guessed something, he still followed what the other party said.

Li Guofu lowered his voice:

"Deputy Director Liu talked to me, and the organization decided that after Director Zhang retires, I will be asked to take over as the director of the state-owned hotel in our county."

He paused and then said:

"A few days ago, Lao Zhang quietly told me that someone was going to come to our place. I was afraid that there were other arrangements for the director's position, so I should be mentally prepared. Now he suddenly asked me to take over. This is all due to the game feast.

, I have to thank you!”

He said this from the bottom of his heart. When he learned the news two days ago, he was depressed for a long time. He had worked hard for twenty years, but to have the fruits of victory snatched away by others was hard for anyone to tolerate.

Now not only has he regained his position as director, but he has also been appreciated by his leaders and has a broader stage in life.

Zhao Wenmu waved his hands quickly, his expression serious and sincere.

"Director Li, your promotion is all because of your outstanding work ability and outstanding performance. It is the result of decades of hard work, not because of my little wild vegetables!"

This is also true. Even if there was no wild vegetable feast, Li Guofu would be promoted sooner or later.

Li Guofu smiled and patted Zhao Wenmu on the shoulder.

Young people speak so nicely.

"From now on, you can still deliver the wild vegetables to the state-owned hotel every morning, but the time must be before eight o'clock. I will arrange a car to deliver them to the city."

"The county state-owned hotel weighs 120 kilograms a day, and the two state-owned restaurants in the city add up to 280 kilograms a day. The total is 400 kilograms. Do you think there is a problem?"

Zhao Wenmu is very satisfied with this amount. The state-owned hotel needs a lot of money and it is a stable income.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

"Director Li, can you give me a letter of introduction from the state-owned hotel to explain that the wild vegetables and game are provided in response to the needs of state-owned hotels at the city and county levels?"

"The amount needed now is relatively large. My family alone cannot dig out so much. If you buy it from other villagers, as you know, there are still some risks."

Although a letter of introduction from a state-owned hotel is not as good as a government approval letter, it still has high credibility among the production team.

In this era, there is not much difference between the state-owned and the government.

Li Guofu thought for a moment that this was indeed the case, so he sent Zhao Wenmu a letter of introduction stamped with the official seal of the state-owned hotel.

It was made clear that Zhao Wenmu was supplying goods to city and county state-owned hotels, and all production teams were asked to cooperate.

This way he won't be afraid of anyone stumbling upon him.

After all, the Zhao family has been digging wild vegetables and making a lot of noise in the city in the past few days. It is impossible to keep the matter of purchasing wild animals a secret. Some people in the village have begun to notice them.

Especially Li Ergou's group.

Zhao Wenmu had already noticed that he and Sun Daqing were staring at him furtively, and he was afraid that these people were going to cause trouble.
