Chapter 313: Another Hot Spring Bath
The granddaughter was unwilling to accept the news and asked, "What about the rabbit? Are there any rabbits left? Jiang Yu, my granddaughter is still breastfeeding, and Zhao Qing needs to eat more meat to produce milk."
She often used Zhao Qing as an excuse to be a traitor to others, and no one believed it after hearing it so many times.
Jiang Yu did keep a rabbit for herself, but she didn't plan to sell it.
Thinking of the last time she almost lost the baby in Jiang Li's belly because of a rabbit, she felt a shadow in her heart.
"No, I left one for Sister Li. I asked you yesterday, and everyone said they wanted to eat beef and didn't care about rabbits, so I didn't leave any for you." Jiang Yu said honestly.
The more she said this, the more unfriendly everyone looked at Xu Lihua.
If it weren't for her, everyone would have eaten meat by now.
Xu Lihua was in agony. She didn't believe that Zhang Jiahua, the captain of the security department, couldn't even get a few pounds of meat back.
"Wait, I'll go find Jiahua now and I'll definitely get the meat back for you!"
Lin Hongxia immediately hugged her: "Jiahua is the captain of the security department. It's just a few pounds of meat. It's not just a matter of his words. Why are you in such a hurry?"
She couldn't stand Jiang Yu's arrogant and complacent attitude, as if everyone couldn't eat this piece of meat today if they didn't buy from her.
Hearing Lin Hongxia's words, Xu Lihua finally felt relieved and walked out heroically.
"I'll go right away, wait!"
Jiang Yu ignored them and carried the beef into the house. There are many steps to make beef jerky.
Later, she roughly explained the method of making beef jerky, and He Tingyue took the meat and processed it.
After a while, Xu Lihua came back, walking with a breeze, her tail wagging.
"Jiahua said that he has a way to get rabbit meat and beef, and will send it to us later!"
Xu Lihua puffed out her chest, thinking that it would be better for this man to be an official. It does
n't matter whether you are a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official, it is more convenient to get things done.
So, in order to save Xu Lihua's face, Zhang Jiahua personally went to find Xiao Fang, the buyer of the canteen.
He wanted him to help him out and help him mix some meat.
Xiao Fang was a man who knew how to judge the situation. Seeing that Zhang Jiahua was in the ascendant, he agreed.
He said, "It just so happened that someone sent a batch of rabbits and beef today. I thought the price was too high, so I rejected it. He will definitely send it in the afternoon, and I will mix it for you then."
Zhang Jiahua got the confirmation and asked Xu Lihua to go home and wait.
Xu Lihua hurried home to deliver the message to everyone.
"Jiang Yu, you already have meat, so you don't want to buy more?"
Jiang Yu looked at her with a smile, "No, we have enough meat. But Aunt Xu, where did Jiahua get so much meat? He's really capable."
Xu Lihua waved her hands again and again, and said modestly, "It's not his ability, it's Xiao Fang, the buyer of the cafeteria. He said someone sent a batch of rabbits and beef today."
Jiang Yu: "...Really?"
Why does this Xiao Fang sound so much like the "Xiao Fang" mentioned by Lai Liuzi?
"I won't tell you yet. I'll go and count and see who wants to buy."
"Oh."
Jiang Yu turned around and went back into the house. "Mother Xu's meat will probably have to be soaked in hot water again."
He Feiyan blinked and asked, "Why?"
Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing. "The canteen's buyer used to be Xiao Liu, but now Xiao Fang has been replaced. Today, Liu Zi sent the meat over, and Xiao Fang wanted to lower the price. Liu Zi was so angry that he refused to sell it. I guess Xiao Fang thinks that we will definitely have to take the meat back to the second factory in the afternoon."
So he was fearless and dared to agree to Zhang Jiahua's request.
He Feiyan covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "It serves them right! They are so arrogant!"
Since Zhang Jiahua became the captain of the security department, he has been looking down on people and is very arrogant.
Jiang Yu said angrily, "Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear."
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and the person who ordered meat from Xu Lihua was impatient and urged her several times.
Xu Lihua said impatiently, "Don't urge me, I'll go out and ask now, okay?"
As a result, he ran to ask Zhang Jiahua, and Xiao Fang said, "I can't help it. I don't know why that person didn't deliver the meat this afternoon."
He also went to ask Xiao Liu, and only then did he know that this person was introduced by Jiang Yu and had a long-term cooperation with the canteen of the second factory.
"The canteen is also waiting for meat. Otherwise, Captain Zhang, go ask the wife of Section Chief He and ask her to ask her friend to deliver the meat quickly and at the original price."
Xiao Fang originally wanted to take advantage of Qiao and let Lai Liuzi off so that he would know what it means to be a new official and start a new job.
Unexpectedly, Lai Liuzi didn't respond, took the meat away and never came back.
The canteen urged him several times, saying that if he didn't buy the meat back, everyone would have to fast for a few days.
The conditions in the second factory were not good before, so everyone always fasted. Many people jokingly called the National Cotton Mill a nunnery.
Later, with the help of Lai Liuzi, meat was supplied from time to time, and everyone was asked to improve their diet.
From extravagance to frugality, it is difficult. Now we can eat a bite of meat from time to time, but everyone still thinks it is too plain.
If the occasional bite of meat is chopped off, the canteen will be overturned.
Zhang Jiahua frowned, "What does this have to do with Jiang Yu?"
"The person who supplies meat to the second factory is a friend of Section Chief He's wife, don't you know?"
As soon as Xiao Fang said this, Xu Lihua figured it out.
She slapped her thigh, "No wonder Jiang Yu brought back beef today!"
Xu Lihua couldn't help but complain to Zhang Jiahua: "If you don't have diamonds, you won't do porcelain work. If it weren't for your promise, Mom wouldn't have lost so much face. Now what do you say?"
Zhang Jiahua felt depressed, thinking that Jiang Yu deliberately kept silent, just waiting to see them laugh.
"What can I do? No, no, what can I do?"
Xiao Fang said, "Captain Zhang, it doesn't matter if you don't eat meat. The canteen can't lack meat, otherwise everyone will complain to me. Please help me talk to Jiang Yu and ask her friends to bring the meat back. I will also help you where I can."
Zhang Jiahua waved his hand, "I don't have any way."
It would be better to kill him than to ask him to bow to Jiang Yu.
After much thought, Xu Lihua was the most suitable person to come forward.
"Auntie, please help me, I will give you some meat later."
Xu Lihua thought it would be difficult to explain if she went back empty-handed, so it would be better to help him to plead for mercy, which would be good for both parties.
"Then come with me, I will take you to find Jiang Yu."
Xiao Fang thanked Xu Lihua repeatedly and followed Xu Lihua to the family courtyard.
This was the first meeting between Jiang Yu and Xiao Fang.
Xiao Fang was very humble and said that he did not explain it clearly to Lai Liuzi and did not deliberately lower the price.
Who would have thought that Lai Liuzi would turn around and leave, which was too angry.
"With so much meat, wouldn't it be a waste if he kept it in his hands? He even sent it to the second factory. I bought it at the original price."
Jiang Yu smiled lightly, "Comrade Fang, you think too much. This little bit of meat should be sent to wherever it is needed. It won't be wasted."
Xiao Fang's smile froze, "What does this mean..."
"The meat is gone. Comrade Fang should look for it somewhere else. From now on, Liuzi's things will not be sent to the second factory."
Lai Liuzi is indeed hot-tempered, but he is also capable.
There are so many factories in Beicheng, and it's not just the second factory that can buy it.
Even if he is not very good, he can sell it himself.
If he is willing to be controlled by others, he would not have done it all by himself for so many years.
Xiao Fang laughed in anger, "Comrade Jiang Yu, it shouldn't be that serious. I just said two wrong words, how come the cooperation is broken? We are all from the second factory, you can't turn your arm outward."
Jiang Yu: "Don't bother me about where I turn my arm. Cooperation is a matter of mutual consent. Now Liuzi is unwilling, there is nothing I can do."
"Okay!" Xiao Fang was furious, "Then don't regret it! I still don't believe that without you, the factory will not have a single bite of meat to eat."
