"ah?"

Zhao Dayong was stunned.

He really didn't think too much about it. He just couldn't resist the requests of his comrades, so he came to run this errand. It was a loss-making business to gain publicity, so how did he get into trouble?

"Yes."

Bai Ying slapped her head and remembered this incident.

Before the reform and opening up, individuals were not allowed to do business. If they really wanted to do business, they had to do it under the guise of a collective.

However, this did not pose a problem for Bai Ying, as she quickly came up with a plan.

"How about this, Zhao Dayong, take the money and come with me. You don't have to say a word the whole time. Just nod or shake your head, and keep a stern expression when you look at people."

Although Zhao Dayong was confused by this arrangement, he still followed Bai Ying's instructions, took the money and followed her out.

Although Shen Ao was curious about what the two were planning to do, considering that it was almost time for him to work, he couldn't continue to follow them around, so he quickly cleaned up the table and dishes and went to the pigsty to carry out the high-intensity work for the remaining half day.

The other side.

Bai Ying brought Zhao Dayong to the office to find Director Lu. She asked Zhao Dayong to wait at the door while she went in first.

Unfortunately, Director Lu is not here today, and only Deputy Director Zhang Fang is in the office.

Because of the oil press factory, Bai Ying and Zhang Fang had dealt with each other before and were quite familiar with each other.

As soon as she entered the office, Bai Ying explained directly, "Director Zhang, I'm here to admit my mistake."

"Um?"

Zhang Fang raised her head from the documents and looked at Bai Ying, puzzled. "Comrade Xiaobai, if it weren't for your help, the farm wouldn't have been able to negotiate this partnership with the oil mill. We'd be rewarding you for your contributions, so how could you possibly be talking about a mistake?"

Bai Ying poked her finger, looking ashamed as she said, "Well... I took advantage of the government. My family isn't well off and can't afford seafood, but I was really craving it, so I picked up some oysters from the beach and brought them back to eat."

Zhang Fang paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly, "It's not a big deal. The farm won't criticize you or punish you for such a small matter."

"I haven't finished yet," Bai Ying lowered her head and continued to explain her mistake. "Yesterday, after I cooked the oysters I picked up, a soldier from the commune army came to see Chen Ao, and he ate some with me."

Zhang Fang's heart suddenly tightened. "Could it be possible that the food has caused problems for the person?!"

She had worked on the farm for many years and knew that a lot of seafood could be found near the beach near the farm, but many of them were poisonous and the members did not know what they were and did not dare to eat them.

Even if you can pick up some non-toxic seafood, there is not much fat in it. Eating seafood alone will not fill your stomach at all. You may even get thinner the more you eat. It is better to eat whole grains to satisfy your hunger.

In addition, seafood is difficult to prepare. If it is not cooked well, it will be too fishy to eat. Therefore, people nearby basically don’t have the leisure to go to the beach to pick up seafood to eat. However, some diligent people will pick up some shellfish and grind them up to feed the chickens. This can supplement calcium and prevent the hens from laying soft-shelled eggs.

Bai Ying came to admit her mistake. Could it be that she had picked up some poisonous seafood and fed it to a soldier in the army? Would this bring bad luck to the farm?

As the deputy director of the farm, Zhang Fang is inevitably worried about the safety of the farm.

Fortunately, Bai Ying's next words put her heart at ease.

"That's not the case. He's still alive and well, not poisoned or allergic. It's just..." Bai Ying panted, "He thinks seafood is delicious, and the army wants to buy some to take back home so that we can have a stable supply every day."

"Ah? Buying seafood?"

Zhang Fang was dumbfounded.

If she remembered correctly, this place seemed to be a farm, right? How come they were selling seafood?

Bai Ying knew that Zhang Fang would not be able to change her mind all of a sudden, but after her tactic of first suppressing and then praising, Zhang Fang should think that it is better that someone still wants to buy their seafood than to cause people to be poisoned by their seafood.

"The army charges us 1.2 yuan per kilogram. This is the deposit."

Bai Ying took out three big unity cards and slapped them on the table. "Director Zhang, should we agree to this?"

Zhang Fang smiled helplessly, "You've already taken the money, and you still ask me."

Bai Ying chuckled and said, "I wouldn't dare to agree to this without the farm's approval. I'm telling you this first. Otherwise, if someone reports me for speculation, I'll be finished."

"You, you're such a smart kid." Zhang Fang poked Bai Ying's forehead affectionately. "Of course, it's a good thing to generate extra income for the farm. How could I not agree? But it's such a big deal. It requires meeting with someone from the army. When is the soldier you know free?"

Bai Ying coughed lightly and called out to the door, "Platoon Leader Zhao, please come in!"

Zhao Dayong pushed the door open and walked in upon hearing the sound. Just as Bai Ying had said, he had a stern face and a cold look that said, "No strangers allowed."

Seeing Zhao Dayong so tall and imposing in his military uniform, and Bai Ying mentioning that he was a platoon leader, Zhang Fang couldn't help but take him seriously. "Platoon Leader Zhao, right? Since the army wants seafood from the farm, we'll definitely take care of it. You can rest assured."

Zhao Dayong nodded sparingly, "Yes."

"Then who do you think would be more suitable to contact you on our farm?" Although Zhang Fang also preferred Bai Ying, she still asked one more question out of respect for Zhao Dayong.

Zhao Dayong didn't hesitate at all and was about to point at Bai Ying when an anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Me, me, me! I'll do it!"

Accountant Ren pushed the door open in a hurry.

Because he ran so fast, his forehead was covered in sweat and his breathing was rapid.

His people found out that someone from the army came to the office for something, so he hurried over. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard what Zhang Fang said.

The troops are going to buy seafood from the farm here?

The middleman responsible for liaison between the farm and the army must be profitable. As a farm accountant, he would be unworthy of his identity as an accountant if he didn't get involved!

Bai Ying narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw Accountant Ren suddenly rushing into the office without even knocking on the door.

I didn't expect this person to suddenly jump out.

She still remembered that this guy had forced her to drink at her wedding with the boss, and his words were full of harshness and provocation.

Now you're trying to steal the credit again?

Bai Ying sneered in her heart and looked up at Zhang Fang opposite her, wanting to see how Zhang Fang would deal with this matter.

It would be best if Zhang Fang was fair, but if she can't... then there's no need to continue this business.

Zhang Fang looked at Accountant Ren who suddenly jumped in front of her and frowned. "What do you mean? Have you figured out the accounts for this spring? You're just taking on this job without any reason."

Accountant Ren's eyes were glued to the three big unity notes on the table.

"Deputy Director, I just heard outside that our comrades from the army are coming to buy seafood. As our farm's accountant, if I don't step in, who else can take on this important task?"
