Gu Bingzhong said enthusiastically, "Don't worry, there is nothing else in our grain depot. We only have enough good wine and food~"
With that said, he asked Du Fei and others to go back to the Grain Bureau's office.
This is just a grain storage warehouse, Gu Bingzhong and the others do not work here.
Uncle Gu sent someone to call back the master chef in the cafeteria in advance.
In this day and age, restaurants rarely stay open until very late.
If Gu Bingzhong wanted to invite Du Fei, he could only do so in the canteen of his workplace.
But to be able to find a chef in the canteen of the Food Bureau, and to have Gu Bingzhong specially call him to entertain guests, this chef's skills must be extraordinary.
Du Fei just happened to have a mouthful of rice in the evening, and he was really hungry now.
If it's normal, just go to bed directly, or eat two biscuits to cushion your stomach.
Someone was actually treating him today, so he didn't want to be polite. He hugged Xiaowu and got directly into the jeep.
According to regulations, there is no special car for Gu Bingzhong's level.
The jeeps at the scene were all transferred from the grain bureau's small truck squad because of the urgent need to do this tonight.
As for Du Fei's bicycle, of course someone would ride it.
Du Fei and Xiao Wu were sitting in the car.
Gu Bingzhong turned a bad situation into a good one and was in a good mood.
During the conversation, Du Fei learned that after the Chinese New Year, Gu Bingzhong had been promoted by half a rank and was now the head of the grain depot.
No wonder everyone was surrounding him at the scene just now.
At the same time, Du Fei also suddenly realized why Gu Bingzhong must thank him properly.
In fact, Du Fei helped him a lot this time.
Otherwise, he had just appointed the director of the grain depot, and there would be such a big mess.
Regardless of the reason, he will definitely take the blame if the superiors hold him accountable.
After riding in the car, it didn't take long to return to the Grain Bureau compound.
At this time, the lights in the big dining hall in the courtyard were already on.
Du Fei and Gu Bingzhong came to a private room inside.
After sitting down, the two chatted while waiting for the food to be served. Several people came back one after another, all of whom were at the scene just now and were the top brass at the grain depot.
Gu Bingzhong introduced them to Du Fei one by one.
These people didn't think highly of Du Fei at first.
He was just a young man who happened to have a special cat.
But these people are all old fools, and they don’t look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face.
Du Fei helped a lot in this matter tonight, and they had to give him enough face no matter what.
Gu Bingzhong even kept his word.
After a while, Xiao Wang came in from the outside, panting, holding a blue cloth bag in his hand, which obviously contained two bottles of wine.
Gu Bingzhong stood up, took the bag from Xiao Wang's hand, and laughed loudly, "When we were in the army, our old commander gave it Moutai produced in 1956, and today we gave it to drink!"
When Du Fei heard this, he realized that Gu Bingzhong was an honest man.
I just said that I would entertain him with good wine and good food, which was really not a big lie.
Several people present were also surprised.
Those who have a clear mind can't help but look at Du Fei more.
Logically speaking, although Du Fei helped Gu Bingzhong a lot, it seemed a bit excessive to entertain him with Maotai for more than ten years.
Could it be that Gu Bingzhong was too happy?
But with Director Gu's temperament, it's obviously impossible.
Gu Bingzhong just did this, so there was only one possibility.
In addition to what happened tonight, Du Fei also had other identities that Gu Bingzhong had to take a high look at.
As the food and wine arrived, the atmosphere on the table became lively. Gu Bingzhong raised his glass repeatedly, and the chef in the cafeteria was indeed very skilled.
Du Fei tasted it a few times and found it to be no worse than Silly Zhu.
However, after eating for just over twenty minutes, the atmosphere at the table was in full swing.
But suddenly A young man rushed in from outside. Because he was too panicked, he didn't knock on the door. He pushed the door too hard and slammed the door against the wall, making a "bang" sound.
This suddenness startled everyone in the room, and they all looked at the door.
The young man who arrived wore glasses, was in his twenties, was short, and looked elegant.
At this time, he was huffing and puffing, and was very embarrassed.
Ignoring other people's gazes, he went straight to Gu Bingzhong and called "Director Gu."
When Gu Bingzhong saw this, his eyebrows suddenly rose.
He has a good drinking capacity and is in a good mood today. He has just had a few drinks and is not drunk at all.
When I saw the young man barging in rashly, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I knew something must have happened.
But the young man was already panicking. When he saw Gu Bingzhong, he opened his mouth to speak.
But Gu Bingzhong didn't wait for him to say anything. He suddenly slammed the table and yelled, "Xiao Zhou~ What are you doing? Don't get out yet!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, feeling anxious and aggrieved. He wanted to open his mouth to explain the whole story, but he saw Gu Bingzhong winking at him.
Only then did he react, quickly shut up and retreated.
Gu Bingzhong stood up and said with a smile, "Nian... this Xiao Zhou is very impatient when it comes to things. Xiao Du, please sit down first and I'll go take a look."
Du Fei smiled and guessed that Gu Bingzhong's words probably meant that 'young people are frivolous in doing things'.
Realizing that Du Fei was younger than Xiao Zhou just now, what he said was really inappropriate, so he changed his mind.
Du Fei said, "Hurry up, don't delay the business."
Gu Bingzhong then opened the door and went out.
Du Fei paid a little attention and listened to what was going on outside.
Then I heard Gu Bingzhong shout, "What did you say..."
There was quite a bit of movement this time.
Not only Du Fei, but everyone else here also heard it.
They all realized that something must have happened, and the originally warm atmosphere at the dinner table instantly cooled down.
After a while, Gu Bingzhong came back from outside, his face extremely ugly.
When he came to Du Fei, he forced a smile and filled the glass in front of him with wine. "Xiao Du~ Today... I'm really sorry. Something happened just now. I really didn't treat you well!"
Du Fei said polite words, picked up the cup and clinked it with Gu Bingzhong, and the two of them drank the wine in one gulp.
Gu Bingzhong apologized again, "I'm really sorry today. Next time, in Fengze Garden, I will punish myself with three drinks."
He also asked Xiao Wang to send Du Fei off on his behalf.
Du Fei was also very sensible, and Gu Bingzhong never revealed what happened from beginning to end.
Obviously it needs to be kept secret.
Although Du Fei was not interested in this.
But it's not hard to guess that it may be related to the grain storage just now.
That Xiao Zhou who ran in so hurriedly was also at the grain storage site before and should have stayed behind to do some aftermath work.
Xiao Zhou's frightened and anxious state just now is definitely not a trivial matter.
What is the big deal for grain depots?
What happened that could make Xiao Zhou ignore it and insist on reporting to Gu Bingzhong at this time?
The answer is readily apparent.
There must be something wrong with the grain at the grain storage depot.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Du Fei.
He was called here just because Xiaowu could catch mice.
Outside of this, he has neither the right nor the obligation to care.
Du Fei took Xiaowu with him on his bicycle and rode home slowly on the main road.
Recall that tonight, there was a sudden outbreak of rat tide at the grain storage warehouse.
I'm afraid it's not that simple.
By the time Du Fei returned to the courtyard, it was almost ten o'clock.
But as expected, although the door to the courtyard was closed, it was not locked inside.
As expected, Yan Jiecheng was squatting inside and waiting.
When he saw Du Fei coming back with Xiao Wu, he immediately nodded and bowed to greet him.
Du Fei said politely, "Hey~ Jie Cheng, I'm troubling you again today."
Yan Jiecheng hurriedly smiled and said, "This is what it should be, that..."
Du Fei saw that he was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask something, but he pretended not to understand. If he wanted to say something, he would say it.
While saying a few polite words, he moved the car in.
Seeing that Du Fei was about to leave, Yan Jiecheng couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "What about that? I heard from my dad that someone came to see you from the grain depot just now. Is that... is it, is it..."
Du Fei saw that he was rumbling and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jie Cheng, what do you want to say?"
Yan Jiecheng laughed dryly and lowered his voice and said, "Well, tell me, do we need to buy some food in advance and stock up?"
Du Fei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised to understand this brain circuit.
But after a second thought, I came to my senses.
It's not that Yan Jiecheng's brain circuit is special, but that he is too sensitive to food issues in this era.
Du Fei smiled and said, "Hey~ What should I do? If your family has extra food stamps, it's okay to stock up on some. If not, it's not a big problem. If you have food stamps, are you afraid that you can't buy food?"
Yan Jiecheng blinked, not quite understanding.
I hurried home and parroted the words to the third uncle word by word.
Finally, he asked, "Dad, what does Du Fei mean? Should we buy it or not?"
The third uncle adjusted his glasses, his little bitch eyes were darting around.
The third aunt and Yu Li didn't dare to say anything at the side.
Food is a big deal, and no one is sure about it.
The third uncle is actually a bit weak, but he is the head of the family and must not be timid.
After thinking about it, he said, "What Du Fei said may have some influence, but the situation is not serious. He also mentioned the grain budget, which means that the price of grain in Pigeon City may increase."
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, let's..."
Although he only said half of what he said, the people in the room all knew what Men'erqing meant.
The third uncle was also a little moved, but he still shook his head and said, "Don't think about those things that are available and not available. If something really happens, if you dare to do whatever you want, be careful and take him out for target practice!"
Yan Jiecheng shrank his neck.
The third uncle's family is definitely smart, but he has no courage and poor execution.
As soon as Yan Jiecheng came up with an idea, his father stopped him with just one word.
The third aunt interrupted and said, "Old man, don't say anything else. Should we buy this food or not?"
The third uncle frowned and said, "Let me think about it...let me think about it."
Compared to the third uncle and his family who worry about gains and losses, Silly Zhu doesn't have that much thought.
After discussing it with the uncle, we immediately went home and went to bed.
The next morning, before dawn, I got up and quietly went to the Pigeon Market with Yi Zhonghai.
The commercial grain in the grain book is fixed every month.
Before the day comes, even if you have a grain book, you can't buy it from the grain station.
So if you want to stock up on food, you can only go to the pigeon market to collect it.
Moreover, food has always been a hard currency. Even in Pigeon Market, you have to use food stamps.
If you don’t have food stamps, you have to buy it all with money, and you’ll have to pay a premium.
This is why Shazhu must borrow food stamps from Mr. Yi.
< br> Wait until he pays for it next month, and then replace it with food stamps. You can save a lot inside and outside.
If it had happened in the past, Shazhu wouldn't have cared, but now he has to be careful.
After a while, it was just dawn.
Du Fei was still sleeping soundly, but he was pushed awake.
He was in a daze and thought it was Xiaowu acting like a monster again.
He muttered "Don't make trouble, Xiaowu", stretched out his hand and pushed it to the side, but he touched something soft.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw that it was Qin Huairu.
Du Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you here so early in the morning?" He didn't forget to grab it.
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him as usual, ignored the Lushan Claw, and hurriedly asked, "Hey~ the price of food may be going up!"
Du Fei was surprised and asked, "Who did you listen to?"
Qin Huairu said mysteriously, "One morning before dawn, I saw the uncle and Sha Zhu carrying sacks, sneaking back from outside. I asked Sha Zhu, what he said..."
Du Fei's heart moved, thinking that Sha Zhu was there when Xiao Wang came last night, and asked again, "What did Sha Zhu say?"
Qin Huairu curled her lips and said "hum", "I didn't say anything, I just said that the food might be going up, and asked me to stock up on it. Don't make any noise."
Silhu was very strict with his words and did not confess to him casually.
Qin Huairu said worriedly, "Xiao Du, do you think the price of food can really rise?"
Du Fei knew that after two months, the price of food would definitely rise, but the commercial grain supplied by the state would not have much impact.
Du Fei said, "Whether it goes up or not, what do you want? Do you also want to hoard some?"
Qin Huairu nodded sternly, "If there really is a situation, there must be some 'Guohe'er' food on hand."
Du Fei thought for a while and said, "If you have to worry, you can save some money. Do you have the money on hand?"
Qin Huairu just wanted to say he was rich.
Du Fei then said, "Forget it, I'll find someone to buy it later and bring you some directly."
Qin Huairu now has a lot of money, so she originally didn't want to ask Du Fei to buy food for her.
I came here early because I wanted to remind Du Fei.
After Qin Huairu left, Du Fei put on his clothes and got ready to go to work.
As for the matter of buying food, he didn't have to do it himself. He would ask Wei Duzi to help him make a few trips and everything would be settled.
Since he sent Du Fei the certificate of nomination, Du Fei has not had the chance to use Wei Duzi for anything other than building a house for the deaf old lady.
I just used him this time to prevent him from having random thoughts.
Went outside for a bite of breakfast.
Just before eight o'clock, Du Fei rode his bicycle to the unit.
As soon as I entered the office, I saw a lively atmosphere inside, chatting about the trip to the grain depot to cause trouble with rats last night.
Today's main focus is Sister Zhang who lives in Xicheng.
It happened that her husband's place of work was not far from the grain depot, so he had quite a bit of first-hand information.
It was a rare opportunity to stand in the 'c' position. Sister Zhang was very excited, her mouth was babbled, and her hands were gesturing with spitting stars flying around.
It was as if she was right there, fighting the rat infestation together and repelling the rat tide.
On the contrary, the parties involved yesterday, Du Fei and Xiao Wang, were all silent.
Seeing Du Fei come in, Xiao Wang immediately smiled and nodded, quite tacitly.
As for what Sister Zhang said, it is actually completely different from the facts.
Xiaowu was not mentioned in it, but it was said that the People's Liberation Army breathed fire and people wielded shovels and brooms and fought bravely.
Finally, a group of cats exaggerated into hundreds, rushed into the array of mice, and completely dispersed them.
It was obvious that nine of the floors were made up by her.
Du Fei listened and just smiled.
But at this moment, a situation that Sister Zhang suddenly mentioned made Du Fei's heart move.
