"Come on, I'll take a look at the pheasants you brought back, and then write you a note to reimburse you."

Liu Gangqiang looked at Zhang Shuguang with satisfaction.

There are more than a dozen people in the purchasing department, and this newly recruited guy is the most promising.

The last time I started working, I purchased an elk, and this month's task has already been exceeded.

But the young man did not choose to stand still. Instead, he braved the scorching heat and followed the hunting team for two full days, purchasing another ten pheasants for the factory.

This spirit of hard work and positive progress must be emphasized to our comrades during the meeting this afternoon.

"Chief Liu, everyone is here."

Zhang Shuguang lifted the grass covering the backpack and began to take out the pheasants one by one.

"They're not small, and they're all alive. How did they catch these pheasants? They won't be weighed. Five dollars a piece is okay, right?"

Liu Gangqiang explained the factory's purchasing standards.

"Sure, I bought it for five dollars."

It was a no-cost business, so Zhang Shuguang agreed readily and did not want to raise the price because of the scarcity of meat.

"Why are there still a few fish here? Wow! They're quite big!"

There was a pile of water plants in the tricycle's bucket, and water was dripping down. The fish inside jumped and lifted up the water plants covering it.

"On the way here, I happened to see the Laoyeling Reservoir releasing water, and a production team organized its members to catch fish. I begged and pleaded, and they sold me these few fish.

Chief Liu, will the factory accept these fish? If not, I will take them home and eat them myself.

"I'll take them! Of course I'll take them! Not to mention the big fish weighing four or five pounds, I'll take even the small ones weighing one or two pounds.

These days, as long as you can fill your stomach, you don’t care about size. Even though fish isn’t very oily, it’s still a meat dish after all.”

"Oh, right." Liu Gangqiang was about to go back to the office to get the scale when he suddenly turned around. "How much did you pay per pound for this fish?"

"You just started working here, and I haven't had time to tell you yet, but the factory has a rule that the purchase price of fish is one yuan per pound. You can't lose money, right?"

This point needs to be made clear. If the price Zhang Shuguang purchases exceeds the factory's pricing, these fish cannot be kept. We can't let the buyer lose money, right?

"I won't pay you any compensation. I'll just charge you one yuan per pound."

"That's good."

Liu Gangqiang took out the scale and found a sea bass, a crucian carp and a grass carp, a total of sixteen pounds.

"Ten pheasants cost fifty dollars, plus the fish, a total of sixty-six dollars. Here's your receipt, take it to the Finance Department to collect the money.

By the way, send the pheasant and fish to Director Wang. He's been driving me crazy these past two days."

These things definitely wouldn't be found in the cafeteria, and both of them knew it.

"Okay, Chief, you're busy, I'll be leaving first."

Zhang Shuguang put the note from Liu Gangqiang into his pocket and rode his tricycle to Wang Xiang's office.

"Director Wang, I sent ten pheasants and a few fish, all alive. This is the note our Section Chief Liu gave me.

Should I leave the pheasant and fish with you, or send them somewhere else for you?"

Zhang Shuguang stood at the door of the office and did not go in. Instead, he knocked on the door politely.

"Comrade Xiao Zhang, come in and have a drink of water! You really helped me out of my urgent need!"

Wang Xiang, who had originally had a sad face, became happy when he saw Zhang Shuguang.

The leaders of the Industrial Bureau will arrive tomorrow. Director Sun was considerate of the workers and did not keep a single pound of the elk from them. He sent it all to the kitchen.

The workers were very happy with the meal and were all praising the factory leaders for their wise leadership. Even the logistics and procurement department and the canteen were greeted with rare smiles from the workers.

But Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of logistics and administrative work, doesn't think so.

The higher authorities came and said that if the food was terrible, everyone would lose face, so the tasks were assigned one level at a time.

As a result, the purchasing department worked for two days and only received a dozen eggs. Deputy Director Li expressed his dissatisfaction.

Just when he was at a loss, Zhang Shuguang came with game.

"It is our purchasing department's job to help leaders solve their problems.

Director Wang, the weather is hot, so the fish need to be put back in the water quickly, otherwise they won’t be fresh when you eat them.”

Zhang Shuguang took out the three big fish from the system space when he was about to reach the factory gate, otherwise they would have dried up in such hot weather.

"Hurry up and push the tricycle, let's go to the canteen."

The big canteen and the small canteen are next to each other. The small canteen is usually closed. The factory leaders eat the same meals as the workers.

The small canteen will only open for cooking when there is a need to entertain senior leaders.

"Master He, Master He, hurry up, get a big basin and fill it with water, and raise the fish first."

As soon as he arrived at the cafeteria, Wang Xiang shouted inside.

"Here I am, Director Wang, where are the fish?"

Master He was wearing an apron around his waist, and his two apprentices were following behind him carrying a large wooden basin.

"It's in the tricycle. Tomorrow the leaders from the Municipal Industry Bureau will come to inspect our work. You have to show off your skills."

Master He’s ancestors were chefs, and since he has the best cooking skills, he is also responsible for the meals in the canteen.

"Okay, as long as we have the ingredients, I'll make sure the leaders are satisfied with the meal."

“Steamed sea bass.”

"Boiled fish."

"Crucian carp and tofu soup."

"Young pheasant stewed with mushrooms."

While Master He was unloading the goods with his apprentices, he was also arranging the menu for tomorrow.

"Just make your own arrangements. These ten pheasants are hard to keep alive, so kill them all tomorrow."
