Chapter 131 Everyone in the Purchasing Department Gets Scolded
Gu Qiqi spit out the hawthorn and looked at her uncle speechlessly.
"Childish devil!"
Su Mingyuan, who was once again named a childish ghost: "..."
Dong Yulan looked at the two of them making a fuss and smiled helplessly.
She felt that her son had changed.
Especially when her son was alone, the aura he exuded made her feel strange.
His eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he had become a different person.
Like carrying something heavy.
On the contrary, he regained his usual cheerful self when he was arguing with Qibao.
At this time, Su Mingyuan was the son she knew.
The bamboo sticks have been peeled and the hawthorns are almost dried.
Dong Yulan then instructed Su Mingyuan to light the stove.
When everything was ready, Dong Yulan put down her work and started making candied haws.
Put a pair of tongs on the clay stove and place the cleaned enamel pot on the tongs to heat it...
While the heat was heating, Dong Yulan went to find some sugar.
"We're out of sugar coupons, so we have to use the candies sparingly. I think a lot of the candied haws today will be wasted!" Dong Yulan said as she weighed the sugar in the jar.
"Mom, just use them. When I get back to the cotton mill, I'll find a way to exchange them for some sugar coupons!" Su Mingyuan said proudly, waving his hand.
"It's so easy to say. Who doesn't lack sugar coupons these days? Who would be willing to exchange them with you?" Dong Yulan rolled her eyes at her son.
If you don’t manage the household, you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
"My dear daughter wants to eat candied haws. Mom, can you bear not to make them for her?" Su Mingyuan used his trump card.
No matter how rare sugar coupons are, sugar is precious.
If Qibao wants to eat something, his mother will be willing to give him as much as she wants.
Gu Qiqi glanced at her uncle.
Always using myself as a shield or something like that, that's all my uncle is capable of!
While Dong Yulan was stringing hawthorns, Su Mingyuan ran out and brought back a lot of straw.
"Where did you get this? Did you say hello to them? Don't let anyone come to my house to scold me. I can't afford to lose face like this!" Dong Yulan's mouth twitched when she saw Su Mingyuan coming back with a large bundle of straw.
"Mom, what are you thinking? How could I be that kind of person? I spent money on these straws." A line of black lines slid down Su Mingyuan's forehead.
Does he seem so unreliable?
"Who did you buy it from and how much did it cost?" Dong Yulan looked surprised.
"It's just a woman across the street from my brother-in-law's house, she spent 20 cents!"
As Su Mingyuan spoke, he found a wooden stick as thick as his arm.
Wrap the straw strands regularly on the wooden stick and then tie it tightly with hemp rope.
Gu Qiqi was watching from the side, confused.
He patiently wrapped it layer by layer, and finally wrapped a clean snakeskin bag over the straw...
The lower end of the wooden stick was sharpened, and it stood up steadily when it was pushed hard into the ground.
Gu Qiqi suddenly realized, okay, this is making a target for candied haws!
The finished candied haws are inserted on top to allow them to dry, cool and keep their shape!
The enamel pot was completely heated, and Dong Yulan began to boil sugar...
When the syrup starts to bubble, roll the skewered candied haws in an enamel bowl and they will be coated with a layer of transparent sugar coating!
Dong Yulan was busy wrapping the sugar coating, while Su Mingyuan helped to stick the finished candied haws one by one on the candied haws target wrapped in straw and snakeskin bags...
Gu Qiqi clicked her tongue!
Is my uncle going to be a peddler?
The image of an old man carrying candied haws and shouting on the street immediately appeared in her mind.
Dozens of strings of candied haws were ready in a short while.
The next step is to wait for the icing to cool and dry.
When Gu Jinze and his friends came home from school, they were stunned by the basket full of candied haws as soon as they opened the gate.
"Tanghus. Oh, grandma, are these the Tanghus you bought for us?" Gu Jinan jumped up and down excitedly, happily circling around the Tanghus target!
So happy.
Lots of candied haws.
"This is made by your grandma herself. If you want to eat it, just take it yourself. Be careful not to knock over the target!" Su Mingyuan warned.
Of course Gu Jinan won't be polite.
He immediately took out a string of candied haws.
Gu Jinze and a few others also picked up a string of candied haws to eat.
Sweet, so sweet!
Take a bite, it's sour and sweet, especially delicious...
Su Qingshan came back later than Su Mingmei.
The whole family tasted the candied haws in the yard and then gave high praise to Dong Yulan's craftsmanship.
The coal briquettes dried in the morning were already half dry at this time.
Everyone was busy moving the half-dry coal briquettes to the roof of the bungalow, freeing up space in the yard.
The next morning, there was a pile of firewood in the empty yard...
Su Mingyuan is completely convinced by Qibao!
He has everything you want. Qibao’s name is really right. He is truly the treasure of the Gu family!
Su Mingyuan spent a few happy days at Gu's house.
In a blink of an eye, seven days were up.
Su Mingyuan went to the factory in advance to get a batch of sacks filled with cotton.
When I returned to the cotton mill, the purchasing department was empty. It was obvious that everyone was busy with purchasing outside and had not returned.
The next day, Su Mingyuan dawdled until the afternoon before setting off for the city with Qibao and Su Qingshan, who had taken half a day off.
If he hadn't been worried about whether it would be convenient for his father and Qibao to return to the compound at night, he would have wanted to have dinner at home before returning to the cotton mill to hand in the task.
Just like the last transaction, Gu Qiqi released the cotton in the space at a distance from the cotton spinning plant.
The sacks custom-made by the cotton mill can hold just 100 kilograms of cotton.
Two thousand five hundred kilograms of cotton, just the right amount, filled twenty-five sacks.
Twenty-five sacks neatly stacked in a pile looked spectacular!
Su Qingshan and Gu Qiqi stayed behind to guard the cotton, while Su Mingyuan went to the factory to ask people to transport the cotton.
Back at the factory, Su Mingyuan clearly felt the low pressure inside.
Everyone is gloomy and sad...
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Su Mingyuan looked at everyone.
"Hey, Comrade Mingyuan is back? Be careful, your purchasing director is angry..."
"Alas, our year-end goal has been ruined. The purchasing department doesn't have enough cotton raw materials, so we have to stop working soon!"
"I heard that the neighboring city is engaging in malicious competition and has taken away all the cotton from our city. If our cotton mill cannot receive cotton and cannot complete the year-end orders, our mill's reputation will be ruined and everyone will be in trouble!"
…
"Didn't they receive the cotton back?" Su Mingyuan asked curiously.
"Not even a hair!"
Su Mingyuan: “…”
When I returned to the purchasing department, just as those people outside said, Dong Dawei was getting angry at a group of subordinates.
Everyone in the purchasing department was scolded so badly that they huddled their heads together, not daring to make a sound.
Dong Dawei, who was angry, was interrupted by Su Mingyuan's footsteps!
When he looked up and saw Su Mingyuan, Dong Dawei's face became visibly darker.
"It's already so late, why did you just come back?"
