Chapter 24 So Much Food

Director Hu is a little angry.

I felt that I had trusted Lu Qiaoge too much.

You should be notified after the food is delivered.

But Lu Qiage said that the weather has been hot these days and green leafy vegetables cannot be kept. It is best to replace them as soon as they arrive to avoid loss.

So he believed it.

"…Nothing, don't you have to go back to work? Why don't you leave quickly?"

The union official was driven away for no apparent reason, but he didn't want to delay any longer. Just as he was about to leave, he heard someone shouting, "They're back. The food truck is back. Oh my god, a big green truck..."

Director Hu and Huang Juan looked at each other and immediately smiled.

When I walked out of the street office, I saw a large army green truck parked steadily at the door.

At the gate of the military factory, Lu Qiaoling and Lu Xiaosi got off the car.

The brother and sister were responsible for meeting Captain Zhao from Guzitun here.

At this time, Lu Qiaoge jumped down from the driving building, looked at Director Hu with shining eyes, and smiled: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. The green leafy vegetables have been replaced. Please check and receive them, leaders."

Director Hu's eyes narrowed into slits due to laughing.

Is it still necessary to check? Because Gu Wenbo, who was following the transport team, said slowly: "I watched the people loading the trucks. The members of Guzitun were so honest that they quickly picked off any bad leaves."

Director Hu craned his neck to look.

There were several barriers on both sides blocked with crossed ropes.

Even though the pile was high, no vegetables fell down, and they were all in bundles.

It's fresh and juicy, and you can tell at a glance that it was just picked.

Satisfied, very satisfied!

Lu Qiaoge said, "Director Hu, please call the guard. The captain of Guzitun's carriage will be here soon. He said that cars consume too much fuel, so he will use the carriage to bring the daily necessities back."

Old Hu quickly asked Ren Xiaocui to make a phone call. A row of tables had already been moved out.

Lao Hu shouted, "See? These are all vegetables, so don't push or fight. Everyone can have a share. Have you seen the detailed list on the wall? Change them according to this. And don't change more than you want. These are leafy vegetables. They won't keep well. If you get too much, they won't be eaten and will rot. It's a pity that others won't be able to eat them..."

"Director Hu, you are too slow."

"If you keep wasting time, the cucumber dish will get cold."

"Let's get started. I'm the first one here. I want five catties of leeks, five catties of spinach, five catties of Chinese cabbage, and five catties of shallots. I bought tofu. For lunch, I'll have shallots mixed with tofu, which will be very clear. Hahaha..."

"You're asking for too much. Everything costs five kilograms. Do you have enough? Can you take it back?"

The street office has always been busy, and it is even busier now, but everyone is smiling.

There is no vegetable garden in the tube-shaped building, so all vegetables have to be bought. It is not easy to eat green leafy vegetables.

When Lu Qiage saw Ren Xiaocui nodding at her with a smile, she knew that the call was over, so Lu Qiage picked up a few bundles of green leafy vegetables that she had packed in advance and came to Director Hu, telling him directly that they were for Director He.

Huang Juan at the side said with a smile: "You go first, we still have a lot to ask you when you come back."

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaoge met Sun Qin who came to pick her up on the way. Lu Qiaoge handed the dish to her and said, "Don't save it. I'll go and exchange it another day."

When Lu Qiaoge saw that there was still enough time, he ran to the gate again.

Lu Qiaoling was talking to the captain who had just arrived, while Lu Xiaosi was standing in the shade holding a tabby cat.

The guard just received a call. Captain Lin also has a letter of introduction, so he let him go readily.

Lu Qiaoge said to Lu Qiaoling: "You and Xiao Si walk slowly in the back."

Lu Qiaoling nodded obediently.

Captain Lin said, "It's alright, the carriage can be pulled, why not just get in and sit in the carriage?"

Lu Qiaoling and Lu Xiaosi happily got on the carriage.

Lu Qiaoge took a look at the carriage and asked Captain Lin to drive the car towards the Lu family first.

The food was covered with straw bags, so it was impossible to tell what was inside them, but they were bulging, so there seemed to be a lot.

When they moved down, Lu Qiaoge realized that there were actually more than he had imagined.

Meng Xia and Old Lady Lu didn't go anywhere. They just listened to Lu Qiaoge and waited at home with peace of mind.

But in fact, I can't feel at ease.

What if I can’t get it back, not only will it be a waste of time, but wouldn’t it be embarrassing?

But since everyone has left, it’s unnecessary to think about this.

I never expected that a large horse-drawn carriage would arrive at my doorstep.

Lu Qiaoge jumped out of the car and glanced around. The neighbors were all working couples and were at work at this time.

It's very quiet here at this time.

Lu Qiaoge and other team members, along with Captain Lin, carried the food down.

Meng Xia looked at the bag of grain placed under the tree in shock.

This is probably about 500 kilograms.

Is it so much in return?

Fifty kilograms of flour, two hundred kilograms of corn grits, two hundred kilograms of corn flour, twenty kilograms of rice, as well as soybeans and mung beans, and fifty kilograms of millet in the flour bag.

Next to it is a large bamboo basket filled with green leafy vegetables.

Meng Xia was stunned, her voice a little shaky: "... This... This is too much, will it... cause trouble for you, the captain?"

Captain Lin waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble. Besides, the things you took are what the brigade needs. Some of them cannot be bought without industrial tickets... This is given to you according to the price of the grain you handed in."

Meng Xia felt bad, but she still forced a pair of rain boots on Captain Lin.

Those were the things that Lao Lu had just distributed and he was reluctant to wear.

Captain Lin was shocked. This pair of black men's rain boots was too valuable. How could he accept it?

Lu Qiaoge did not give Captain Lin a chance to refuse. He pulled him out of the Lu family, put the boots into a canvas bag and threw it into the carriage, and asked him to continue driving. He said in a friendly tone: "Uncle Lin, there is no need to calculate so clearly. I didn't expect you to be able to exchange so much food. I will remember it in my heart. In the future, if there is anything I can help with, you must let me know."

Captain Lin was not a lazy person. When he heard Lu Qiaoge call him Uncle Lin, he readily agreed.

But this pair of rain boots is different from rubber shoes, and it is really hard to get them. Comrade Lu’s family is really too naive.

He kept this favor in mind.

However, he cannot wear this pair of rain boots, so he plans to give it to President Zhu on behalf of Comrade Lu.

The carriage arrived at the street office smoothly.

Because the organization was good, the family members originally wanted to snatch things, but with the help of the street office cadres and trade union officials, they soon became orderly.

The main thing is that the noise will attract more people, and then there will be too many wolves and too little meat to go around.

The loss of green leafy vegetables is inevitable, but because they are very precious and the bundles are strong, the loss is basically not much.

The most convenient way is to count them in bundles.

I wasn’t allowed to pick and choose, I just took them layer by layer.

Just like a salesperson selling something in this era, you can’t be picky if you want to.

You get whatever you are given, there is basically no choice.

So, except for the reserved ones, most of the vegetables in the whole truck were replaced.

There are a lot of notes in the notebook, and a lot of things are placed in the big basket at the door.

As mentioned before, the subdistrict office left some vegetables for the transport team and put them in the trucks.

Lu Qiaoge took the initiative to get a broom and went up to the truck to sweep out the vegetable leaves that had fallen into the car.

After arranging a lot of green leafy vegetables and eggs, he jumped out of the car neatly and thanked Brother Gu with a smile...
