Looking at Shang Tai's leaving figure, Yi Chuanzong also frowned, this matter was very troublesome.
Suddenly, he felt his arm being poked again.
Turning her head, Lou Xiao'e looked at this side eagerly with her big eyes.
She asked worriedly: "What's going on? Who is that person?"
Yi Chuanzong explained: "It's okay, it's just a chess friend of the master who took a fancy to the two lions at my door. Isn't this a bit of a conflict?"
Lou Xiao'e's eyes were very suspicious. She suspected that this man was lying to her again!
"Who is Zhou Yuncheng?"
Yi Chuanzong explained casually: "He is one of Ruiqing's enemies. We met when we were drinking together. This was a bit of a conflict. It was fine originally, but we just happened to meet him this time."
The next second, Yi Chuanzong was greeted by a small fist.
Lou Xiao'e stared at him fiercely and said, "If you don't tell the truth, I have heard that a car parked in front of our house yesterday!" At this point, her voice became very low, "If not, we will
Give them just two stones..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Li and Yu Haitang even lowered their heads. A car! These ordinary people cannot get into a car.
Director Yang and others of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant were able to ride in a car.
There are very few people in supply and marketing cooperatives who can ride in cars, at least Yu Li has never seen one, and there are few leaders of that level who go to inspect the work of a small supply and marketing cooperative.
Lou Xiao'e kept mumbling, her eyes a little confused.
Yi Chuanzong reached out and patted the tiger's paw.
Lou Xiao'e raised her head.
Yi Chuanzong grinned and said: "People have to move forward, and things have to move forward. Not everything can go together, and it doesn't have to be one way."
"The moon waxes and wanes, things have their priorities, the tides rise and fall, the sea is also a mulberry field, how can anything remain unchanged?"
"Just like my parents, if they can't reach the same place, they will take a detour. They are all moving forward. In twenty years, if you look at them, it's not necessarily who will be able to walk ahead."
"Besides, I'm here! What are you afraid of? Since I dare to refuse, then I have the confidence to refuse. Don't think blindly. Do you need to think about it?"
A smile appeared on Lou Xiao'e's face, and then she nodded vigorously.
Yi Chuanzong was smiling, but he was a little annoyed in his heart.
Everything is too good. When the fitter is done well, many people want to dig him up. When the cooking is delicious, some people want him to cook. When the stone carving is done well, some people want to buy his stone lions.
This stone carving is not the same as cooking a meal, this thing is more troublesome than locksmithing.
At the very least, a fitter can have machinery, and he only completes a small amount of high-precision work and preliminary design.
This stone carving was done by one person from beginning to end, and it took him more than two months to finish carving these two stone lions.
Not to mention buying it, even if I asked him to carve it, he wouldn't do it.
Ma's baby is about to be born soon, and it will be the Chinese New Year in two months. How can he have time to do that? He just asked for leave.
He didn't want to take this kind of job.
Anyway, he didn't want to go on stage.
A pair of stone lions lasts two months, and two pairs lasts four months. In fact, if you dry it once, it will be fresh, but if you dry it twice, it will no longer be fresh, because there is nothing to carve, and it is all in the first statue.
Carving later wasn't that interesting anymore, but it took so much effort. He wouldn't accept any job like this.
Yi Chuanzong thought for a moment and thought of a way. He said to the two sisters: "Since you are here, just chat with Xiao'e for a while, and I won't get involved with you."
"Stay for lunch. I'll go to the kitchen and cook you a big meal."
When eating at someone else's house, Yu Li felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse.
When Yu Haitang heard that he was eating, his eyes almost popped out of his head. The saliva in his mouth was secreting like crazy, and he was so ravenous.
"Okay, okay!"
Yu Li pulled her sister's hand embarrassedly. They agreed to put down their things and leave after a while, but now they still wanted to stay for dinner.
Yu Haitang was stunned for a moment, and then said with some fear: "You can't drink this time. I almost couldn't go home last time."
"Haitang!" Yu Li shouted in warning. She had also heard about Yi Chuanzong's craftsmanship, but she felt a little embarrassed when she was asked to stay.
Lou Xiao'e said generously: "It's okay, it's just right for you to accompany me. This guy always makes me angry at home, which means it's better when he's working."
The corner of Yi Chuanzong's mouth twitched slightly, good guy, this is very real!
But he can't be idle. No wonder his attitude towards him was very bad this summer. This time he heard the truth!
"Let's talk. The new sauce I prepared a few days ago should be fermenting soon. I'll try to see how it tastes this time. I'll stew the ribs for you at noon. The old lady in the yard is still waiting for a bowl of soup.
These seventy-year-old bones are not easy to grow, so it would be good if they can grow back in half a year."
Seeing that Yi Chuanzong had already gotten up to cook, Yu Li's face turned red and she reluctantly said, "Thank you."
Yi Chuanzong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, this tiger girl is always tired of me and annoying her!"
Lou Xiao'e patted the stone table with both hands, glared at Yi Chuanzong's leaving figure and shouted: "Say it again!"
A playful smile appeared on Yi Chuanzong's lips, and he would just say what he asked. Didn't he want to lose face? He took advantage and left without quarreling with her.
…
The entrance of the third steel rolling mill.
Shang Tai was invited in after showing his work ID. He walked straight to the factory director's office on the third floor of the office building.
He knocked on the door expressionlessly.
Dang Dang Dang!
There was a knock on the door, and Director Yang's voice came from inside, "Please come in!"
squeak.
Hearing the voice, Director Yang sat in front of his desk and asked without raising his head: "What's going on?"
Shang Tai didn't speak, closed the door and silently walked to the desk.
Director Yang was very surprised, who could be so presumptuous?
He raised his head and was stunned for a moment, "Secretary Shang?" Then he stood up with a serious face and asked, "Does the leader have any plans?"
Shang Tai smiled forcefully and said, "Director Yang, strictly speaking, I have something to do with you today."
Factory Director Yang was a little confused. If the leader's secretary had personal matters, the leader would take care of them. Is there anything else he needs to do?
He smiled awkwardly and said: "What do you need? If I can help, I will try my best to help you." 'For the sake of the leader.'
Shang Tai nodded. He did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "Director Yang, there is a worker named Yi Chuanzong in your factory. I heard that you have a good relationship with him?"
Director Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. What kind of trouble did this kid get into after not seeing him for two days?
"He is an eighth-level fitter in the factory, and we are relatively familiar with him."
This answer is quite satisfactory and won't offend anyone, but it can be regarded as an admission that it is related.
Shang Tai said directly: "There are two stone lions carved at his door. The craftsmanship is very good. I wonder if Director Yang can buy them for me?"
Director Yang shrank his eyes, those two stone lions?
That guy has a crow's mouth, right?
I just said two days ago that maybe someone would like to buy his stone carvings, but now they are looking for me.
However, Secretary Shang came to find him!
That means I’ve been there before, but didn’t make the purchase!
Director Yang asked softly: "He can't control his mouth. You didn't have any conflicts, right?"
Shang Tai shook his head and said no. Factory Director Yang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was afraid that Yi Chuanzong would offend anyone. This had already been established in the leader's mind. Don't let anything happen again in the future.
Then, his heart lifted again.
Shang Tai said calmly: "There is no conflict, but the deal has not been negotiated. He is not willing to pay me 10,000 yuan. He said he wanted the stone lion and asked the company to issue a tax collection certificate before he was willing to hand it over.
.”
Director Yang's eyes bulged, as if he was about to stare out.
Ten thousand dollars!
To say that this money is not much, the food for 20,000 people in the steel rolling mill costs nearly 10,000 a day, but there are very few people who can afford it.
I have saved almost this amount of money for most of my life.
There are many people who make more money than Mr. Yi, but there are very few people who can save as much as Mr. Yi. The more money he makes, the more he spends. Factory Manager Yang can’t even spare 10,000 yuan, let alone the money he has in front of him.
This is Shangtai, who is in his thirties.
The person who co-authored it didn’t want to buy it himself, it was someone within the unit who wanted to buy it!
It was the leader who spoke!
As a result, this guy said the tax collection certificate!
Have you forgotten the saying "one stitch at a time"?
Director Yang's blood pressure suddenly rose. He had never seen such a trouble-making person!
Crazy! This kid!
You can even say this!
Shang Tai stood expressionless. He had already said the matter, and now he was just waiting for a result. If this couldn't be done, then he could only report it to the leader truthfully.
Director Yang stretched out his hand to rub his temples with a headache on his face. He stretched out one hand and waved it downwards. He comforted him: "Secretary Shang, don't worry. Leave this matter to me."
"But I have to think about it."
Director Yang said this with all his heart.
As for Yi Chuanzong's character, he would make mistakes every now and then, but this guy just wouldn't change.
My head is stiff!
He was also familiar with the two stone lions and had heard of them once or twice. He often used this to reprimand Yi Chuanzong, telling him to concentrate on his work and stop making a mess.
But in the end, these two stone lions were carved!
Yi Chuanzong didn't listen to him at all, which shows how much he liked him.
I didn’t listen to him when I was making it, how can I listen to him when I’m buying it?
Director Yang felt confused. He was not sure whether Yi Chuanzong would sell him the stone lion because of his reputation?
Or does that kid have some more crooked ideas?
Shangtai was not in a hurry and just waited patiently. At least he had an explanation.
He also knew that this matter was difficult, and he has not forgotten Yi Chuanzong's resolute attitude.
Director Yang thought about it for a while, but there was no good way to do it. He forced the boy to come over. He was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage.
Yi Chuanzong can really do this kind of thing!
He forced a smile and said: "Well, at noon, you and I will go there again. Regardless of good or bad, we have to come up with an explanation!"
Shang Tai's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go with you again at noon."
…
In the small courtyard.
Yu Haitang smelled the aroma of fried chicken coming from the kitchen and groaned, "Ah, it smells so good!"
Yu Li tugged on Yu Haitang's clothes under the table, asking this sister to be more reserved. This was still eating at someone else's house! How could she be so unreserved?
Yu Haitang ignored her sister. She turned around and said, "Sister Xiao'e, what he is cooking now is braised fish, right?"
Lou Xiao'e looked into the kitchen and said uncertainly: "It should be so!"
At this time, Yu Haitang said with some embarrassment: "I see that he has been busy for a long time. It is more troublesome than last time. It is so rich..." They came to deliver things, but now they feel like they are eating for free!
Lou Xiao'e also felt a little strange, "Oh, it's a bit long. It took him more than an hour just to cook. Normally eating doesn't take that long."
The three of them cooed for a while, then went into the house and waited.
Watching the dishes being served one by one, Yu Haitang's eyes seemed to be growing inside. She was a little nostalgic for the Roujiamo that she didn't have last time. It tasted super good and she liked it very much.
Yu Li is a little cautious. The taste is definitely very tempting, but it is a bit too rich.
This is sweet and sour fish and fried chicken. Not to mention vegetables, there are also pork ribs stewed outside. She only ate this during the Chinese New Year, and it didn't taste that good. Now eating it at someone else's house, it feels weird.
of.
Not only Yu Haitang was greedy, but even Lou Xiao'e was a little bit too greedy. This person is very good at cooking and can cook the same dish in many ways. Nowadays, all vegetables are in season, and there are not many kinds of meat.
After eating for a week, she was surprised that she didn't eat the same dish.
If Yu Li and Yu Haitang weren't here now and she had already started taking action, where would she be waiting here?
I don’t know how many times I’ve been caught eating, and it’s really uncomfortable to endure it.
Especially this time, I have been grinding for so long, and I don’t know what is being prepared in the kitchen, but just a smell of fragrance comes rolling in. It’s so frustrating.
Lou Xiao'e looked at Yu Haitang's greedy look and couldn't help but want to laugh. She couldn't help but shout outside: "Hey, are you ready?"
"I'm going to deliver food to the old lady and aunt. It'll be almost done when I come back."
Lou Xiao'e bit her lip. Did this person do it on purpose? Since this soup is difficult to stew, why didn't it stew it earlier? It had to be the last and let everyone wait. The family obviously built a new stove, which can prepare several dishes at the same time.
.
Complaining in her heart, she could only take Yu Haitang to chat.
The straight-line distance between the new courtyard and the courtyard is only one hundred meters, and the walking distance is only two hundred meters. After a while, Yi Chuanzong returned here.
When he entered the house, he was holding a white porcelain basin in his hand.
Yi Chuanzong placed the basin in the center of the table, so that eight vegetables and one soup were served together.
Yu Li felt a little extra solemn. This was not like a normal meal, but like inviting someone, which made her even more cautious.
Lou Xiao'e, on the other hand, didn't care so much. She curled her lips and said, "Hey, are you ready? You can eat it this time."
Yi Chuanzong grinned and comforted: "Waiting, just wait for a few minutes."
Lou Xiao'e asked in surprise: "What are you waiting for? We have guests at home today at noon? Master is coming over for dinner too?"
Yi Chuanzong glanced towards the door, then smiled and said: "I don't know, but if the other party is coming, it should be almost there. After all, it's almost time to eat."
While he was talking, Yi Chuanzong heard the sound of a car engine, and then a green car stopped at the door of his house.
Yi Chuanzong stood up and said with a smile: "It's not here yet. Please wait a moment while I go to greet another wave of guests. The house is really busy today."
Lou Xiao'e was slightly confused and asked: "Who is it?"
Yu Li's eyes were a little confused, and she just said that if it was just because of them, then this meal would be too grand.
