The leader: "Hey! You are still the same as when you were young. You always like to go against me and make trouble."
"Aren't you going to eat? I'll prepare a bowl of soup, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of vegetables. Do you want to eat? If you do, I'll ask Hai Rui to prepare a few more."
Master Gong: "Humph! Forget it, I'd better go home and eat. You're so stingy that you don't even want to treat me to a little meat or vegetable. I'm afraid I'll have indigestion if I eat your meal."
The leader said: "What indigestion? If you are complaining, just say that I won't invite ordinary people. You old man, now that life is better, you still complain. In the past, we fought over half a sweet potato."
Master Gong said: "How dare you say that? I was the first one to find the sweet potato, but you snatched it away. You are a few years older than me, and you are bullying a child."
The leader: "Haha! Good boy, you still remember it after decades. Why do you hold a grudge? I was really hungry at that time. I hadn't eaten for a few days. When I found some edible sweet potatoes, I rushed over to grab them."
Master Gong said: "You are just looking for an excuse. Let's get back to the topic. I don't want to talk to you two anymore. I'll show you something good. I guarantee that you will be delighted after reading it."
"But we have to make it clear that friendship is friendship, and we must not lose any of the benefits this person deserves. Don't ask me where this thing came from. Just make sure it comes from a clean source."
"This was discovered by a young man from my palace family. She doesn't want to show up now. You will know when the time comes."
The leader said: "Oh! What's so good about Mr. Gong? You suddenly become so serious. I'm not used to it. You have to let me take a look first."
Mr. Gong took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them over.
A few minutes passed, and the leader just stared at the paper without blinking or saying anything. Secretary Ding Hairui asked, "Leader! What's wrong with you? Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"
The leader said: "Hai Rui, you have been with me for so long, I trust you, take a look at this."
Ding Hairui took the paper from the leader and started reading it. He was amazed after reading it. He didn't know where Master Gong got the formulas for these medicines. He dared to say that if the medicines on the prescriptions were produced, they would definitely cause quite a stir.
The key is to provide a detailed plan for the modification of the handgun. It is written in great detail. Even if you follow the instructions, you can probably produce a very good handgun.
The leader said: "You three can tell me how you came to me to arrange this. We can be frank and honest. Tell me everything so I can arrange it."
"This is a good thing that will benefit all of humanity and must be fully supported. Some parts of our country should take action to avoid being laughed at by people in other countries and always thinking that we are weak and easy to bully."
"If we can produce these ahead of time and beat them by a long way, then they will come to us for help. We can just change the prescription and go back to the old ways."
"But we don't need to leave such good things in it for him. He is not worthy of it at all. If you want the medicine in it, go ahead! Take the machines, the airplanes and the cannons to exchange for it."
"Hahaha!" Several people laughed happily after hearing the leader's words. They finally had something that could make them happy.
The leader discussed with several old men for an hour or two, and finally decided that the Medical Research and Development Department should produce these medicines as soon as possible. Of course, they would be divided into three grades. At present, they could only produce medium-quality medicines, and they did not have such good medicinal materials for the best medicines.
After all, the samples sent there all contained good medicinal materials. They were in short supply of such good medicinal materials. They didn't know which capable person had such skills and whose medicine-making level was much higher than theirs.
As for the drawings of the Mucang Machinery, they were of course given to the professors at the research institute, so that they could at least produce a few first to see how it went.
After discussing the matter, several old men went back. Of course, they would not dine here because it was against the rules. Old Man Gong was just joking before.
After the old men left, the leader asked, "Hai Rui, which descendant of the Gong family took out the things that old man Gong brought out? Why haven't I heard of such a talented person in their family before?"
Ding Hairui: "My leader, of course I don't know this, how about I check it for you."
The leader said: "Hai Rui, there is no need to check. We are just chatting for a while. I don't want to hurt the harmony between the two families because of such a small matter."
"The Gong family is going to rise this time. With such a capable person, their family will definitely stand at the top of the pyramid in the future."
Ding Hairui: "The leaders are loyal to the country. It's a good thing that they have such capable people in their families."
"When our country develops, those old people will no longer look down on us, and we will be able to stand up straight."
The leader said: "Hai Rui, you are right. As long as it is for the good of the country, we don't care who it is. After all, he doesn't like to stand out."
On the way, Grandpa Gong said, "Old Man Gu, Old Man Xiao, come to my house for lunch at noon. My granddaughter brought back a lot of things that you have never seen in Beijing."
Mr. Xiao said: "I say, Mr. Gong, what are you bragging about? My grandson's wife didn't send me anything, and you want to show off in front of me? Don't even think about it."
Mr. Gong said: "Old Xiao, you really don't know what's good for you. I kindly invited you to dinner, but you didn't want to go. I was afraid that you would eat up all the good things my granddaughter brought."
"Let's go now, old man Gu. If he doesn't go, forget it and don't regret it later."
Mr. Xiao said: "Mr. Gong, you really misunderstood my meaning. When did I say I would not go? If you don't go, you are a fool. How can you eat all the good things by yourself?"
Master Gong: "Old Xiao, are you deliberately going against me? I asked you to go but you didn't go, and when I wanted to leave you started complaining."
Mr. Xiao said: "Mr. Gong, your words are really rude. What do you mean by whining? You are the one who whines. I think you are letting yourself go now, right?"
The old men kept talking in the car, but the driver still drove them to the palace.
The cooking auntie had already prepared the meal and was waiting for Master Gong, and would serve it as soon as he came back.
Workers usually don't come back for lunch, but only for dinner in the evening.
Several old men came to the living room, and the cook, Wu Guixiang, quickly brought the food. She also asked Old Man Gong if there were enough dishes and whether she wanted to cook a few more.
Old Master Gong said: "Xiao Wu, there are enough dishes. No need to cook anymore. We old men can't eat much. You go downstairs and eat first."
