Chapter 159 Seeing Through at a Glance

"Hahaha, I just like honest people!" Li Meng laughed out loud when he heard what Li Laidi said. It seemed that he was also a troublemaker at that time.

After a few laughs and jokes, the two of them took the glass bottles brought into the yard with a few aunts to clean them, then put them in a large pot and boiled them in boiling water to disinfect them and control the water, so that they could use them to store fermented tofu in the afternoon.

After being busy for a while, Zhou Hui came back driving the donkey cart and heard Wu Ruirui's voice from a distance.

"Why is the door still closed? Open the door, open the door, we are back!" Wu Ruirui knocked on the door and a loud voice came in from the door.

"Coming, coming," Li Laidi hurried forward to open the door. Wu Ruirui rushed in and hugged Li Meng who was standing by the well to draw water.

"I knew you were back. Did you bring anything delicious for me?" Wu Ruirui flew in like a little swallow, hugging Li Meng and chattering.

"If you eat more you won't be able to walk!" Zhou Hui, who had parked the car, started to confront her as soon as he entered the door.

"What do you care? Ha!" Wu Ruirui held Li Meng's arm and shook her, not forgetting to turn around and give Zhou Hui a glare.

"Time was too tight, and I didn't have time to buy you anything delicious. I will definitely do it next time!" Li Meng coaxed softly.

"Okay! Then take me there next time and I'll buy it myself!" Wu Ruirui pouted, looking reluctant.

"I'll make you some fried skewers tonight, do you want to eat them?" Li Meng teased Wu Ruirui like she was coaxing a child.

"Eat!" Wu Ruirui shouted, his eyes full of desire for delicious food. Although he didn't know what these fried skewers were, as long as they were made by Li Meng, they would be delicious.

"Then why don't you get back to work? If you do a good job, I'll fry some more skewers for you tonight."

Hearing what Li Meng said, Wu Ruirui became busy as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Zhou Hui handed the money he received today to Li Meng and told her that the state-owned restaurant in town would need 10 more kilograms of mung bean sprouts and mung bean cakes tomorrow, as Chef Yao had specifically requested them.

Li Meng nodded in agreement. Today's mung beans had already been harvested, so they just needed to make bean cakes in the afternoon. There was strength in numbers, and with the help of six aunts, all these things were carried out in an orderly manner.

"Sister Meng, why is your door closed?" Zhou Hui asked while pushing the mill. He saw it when he was at the door. They had never closed the door before.

"From now on, no one will be allowed in except the aunties working in the processing plant and a few of us. We must always be on guard against others!" Li Meng told her about Bai Jie who had just stopped her at the door.

"This guy stopped me yesterday and asked me all kinds of questions. Judging from his clothes and appearance, I felt that his family should be well-off, but he was very smooth-talking!" Zhou Hui said seriously.

Otherwise, why men are the best at judging other men? This is the reason.

As the two were chatting, they heard the door being slammed.

"Open the door! What's going on? Why is the door closed?" Captain Huang's voice came from the door.

Zhou Hui went to open the door and saw Captain Huang standing at the door, followed by a short-haired girl who was dressed simply and neatly.

Captain Huang walked into the yard with the girl. Maybe others didn't notice it, but Li Meng saw it clearly. The girl looked around as soon as she entered the door. It was obvious that she was a person with plans in mind.

Li Meng quickly stepped forward and took the two into a room where soybeans were piled. There was a small table and four chairs in the room, where they would occasionally do some accounting.

"Hello, Comrade Li Meng, my name is Tong Xinrui, you can just call me Xinrui. I heard from the team leader that you are the most capable educated youth in our educated youth courtyard, so I wanted to meet you and invite you to attend the welcome banquet in the evening, which will be held in the educated youth courtyard. The main purpose is to let all the educated youth get to know each other!"

Tong Xinrui is not tall, about 1.6 meters. Her short hair and slightly dull face make others think that she is a down-to-earth and hardworking person.

But Li Meng didn't think so. Although she spoke nicely and had just the right smile on her face, she was definitely not as down-to-earth as she looked.

Don't make close friends with people like this, otherwise they may stab you in the back and you won't even know who stabbed them. He is a person who is very good at concealing his true intentions.

"Hello, I'll send two dishes over tonight as a welcome dinner for you."

"You know, I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't keep you here. When I have time, I'll invite you to sit in my yard. I won't keep you here!" Li Meng said lightly with a smile on her lips.

Tong Xinrui is also a smart person. Seeing that Li Meng was not very enthusiastic, she smiled, nodded and left.

"Uncle, you're here just in time. I have something to tell you!" Li Meng motioned Captain Huang to sit down and said what he wanted to say.

"Uncle, there are more and more people in this village. There are three keys to the gate of this processing plant. One is for you, one is with me, and the other one I plan to give to Sister Lai. From now on, except for the aunts working in the processing plant and us, I don't want strangers to come in casually. After all, we are in the food business. If someone sprinkles a handful of medicine powder here and someone dies from it, we will all be shot!"

"Uncle, it's not that I'm stingy, but we must always be on guard against others. I hope you can understand what I mean!" Li Meng said in a deep voice with a deadpan expression.

Captain Huang was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. What was going on? Why was he going to be shot?

"Yes, yes, you are right. It was my negligence!" Captain Huang nodded repeatedly.

"From now on, we will collect the beans at the door, and then have our people move them in to prevent strangers from entering. It's better to be safe than sorry, don't you think? Uncle."

Captain Huang could not say anything except nodding vigorously. Although he felt a little uncomfortable and thought that this girl was making a big deal out of nothing, he also felt that it was the right thing to do!

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

"Uncle, look, after my glass bottles arrived, my orders for the finished products have all gone out. By the end of the month, the village will have to share at least 300 yuan. That's all money! Don't you think we should be more cautious?"

After Li Meng finished speaking, he handed the order that Honglian had placed yesterday to Captain Huang to see. This was truly a slap in the face followed by a sweet treat. There was money to be made, so no matter how upset he felt, he no longer felt bad.

Captain Huang was delighted. Oh my god, this is too good to be true. I can get three hundred in a month. From now on, whatever Li Meng says is what I will follow her lead!

Seeing that Li Meng was really making big promises, Captain Huang went back happily.

As there were many things to do and the tasks were heavy, they just had a quick bite at noon and then continued to work.

Li Meng mixed the prepared sauce evenly. Several people put on the disposable gloves given by Li Meng, put on masks and hats, and neatly packed the hairy tofu into the sterilized glass bottles. Then they added the prepared sauce, tightened the bottle caps, scalded them with boiling water, and placed them in a cool place. They could be eaten within three days.
