Chapter 183 Eat Well, Drink Well, and Live Long
"Uncle! Keep hiring people tomorrow, and find another yard to move all the pickles to. Also, hurry up and find someone to learn how to drive. I've already arranged everything for driving lessons!"
Li Meng helped Captain Huang up after he fell on his butt, and told him several things that needed to be done right now. It was really busy during this period.
Captain Huang's wife, Aunt Tian, brought in a cup of brown sugar water and handed it to Li Meng, smiling a bit flatteringly.
"Drink it quickly, I put brown sugar in it, hehe"
"Then I want to ask, can my nephew from my mother's side learn to drive?"
"What are you talking about, old woman? Your nephew hasn't even graduated from elementary school. How many words does he know? Go and teach him quickly!" Captain Huang cursed loudly.
"I just want to ask what's the matter! Mengmeng didn't say anything, but you, an old man, just talk too much!" Aunt Tian retorted.
"Uncle and aunt, I'll leave first. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to do!" After saying that, Li Meng smiled at the two of them and walked out of the captain's house.
"Look at what you, an old woman, have done!" Captain Huang gasped angrily.
"What did I do? I was just asking, and that's not even an answer? You're busy all day long, and how much money can you give me? I asked about my nephew's situation on my mother's side! I can see you're so heartless!" Aunt Tian wiped her tears as she sat on the kang.
Li Meng doesn't care whether Aunt Tian will quarrel with the team leader or not. She can't do anything about it anyway, and she has her own problems to deal with!
The days passed really quickly. Time flew by, and three days later, the piglets were brought back. Each one was white and tender and very cute. The female educated youth gathered around to look at them in wonder. Women are always attracted by cute things.
Soy products and pickles were separated into two processing plants, and 20 more aunts and sisters were recruited, so now there is enough manpower.
The soy products processing factory was handed over to Liu Huan for supervision and management, and the pickle processing factory was handed over to Li Laidie for supervision and management. Wu Ruirui took Xiao Douzi to Sanhe Village to teach and study from morning till night. When they came back every afternoon, they would clean up Li Meng's small yard.
Zhou Hui is responsible for the two tasks of delivering goods and receiving orders, and he is very busy every day.
Originally, there were four people who were sent to learn driving, but no suitable ones were found, so Ma's aunt's youngest son Liu Zhijie and Ding Hao were sent first.
After they have learned well, they will come back to teach others. The same is true. Both of them promise to complete the task. Liu Zhijie's peddler business is completely handed over to his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
When Li Meng took Xiaodouzi back to the village to go to school, she took Dandan to replenish the goods again. Now the goods and sales in the warehouse are handed over to the Song brothers. Basically, she doesn't have to ask about anything. Grandpa Douzi cleans up and cooks, and basically acts as a housekeeper.
The three of them had no objections and they all cooperated very well. After so long, they were closer than father and son.
Just when Li Meng was about to call Li Wen to ask whether the order statistics for the army canteen had been completed, Li Wen drove over in person with instructor Zhang Bin and the army political commissar Fang Xiang.
When Li Meng was busy at the pickle processing factory, Zhou Hui came over and called her. Only then did she realize that her elder brother had come with the leader.
Eighty percent of them are here to inspect the environment and hygiene of the processing plant.
Li Meng tidied her clothes and hair and hurried forward to greet them. Captain Huang also hurried over when he heard the news.
"Girl, come here quickly. Let me introduce you. This is Instructor Zhang and Political Commissar Fang."
"Two leaders, this is my sister Li Meng!" When Li Wen saw his sister running over, he quickly introduced her to the army leaders.
"Hello, leaders. My name is Li Meng. Welcome to Huanglong Village." Li Meng enthusiastically introduced herself to the instructor and political commissar.
"The girl is great! She's young and promising. She's a great role model. She's much better than your brother!" Zhang Bin praised the pretty girl, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old.
This girl has clear eyes, a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, and is graceful in her every move. She is friendly and impeccable in her dealings with people. She is a good comrade. !
"Thank you for the compliment, instructor. My brother is also very good!" Li Meng smiled embarrassedly.
“This is Captain Huang from our village. If you two don’t mind, let Captain Huang take you around. I’ll cook. You must stay here and have a home-cooked meal!” Li Meng pushed Captain Huang forward to receive the two leaders.
"Hahaha, little comrade, we have all tasted your cooking, it's quite good!" Political Commissar Fang said with a smile.
"Hehe, let's eat it again. It's settled." Hearing Political Commissar Fang say this, Li Meng became even more certain that the two leaders came mostly for her cooking skills, and the on-site inspection was secondary.
After pushing the two military leaders to Captain Huang for reception, Li Meng went back to prepare. This time she took out the ingredients first, and then called Li Laidie back to help with the fire.
Today she has to show off her skills and win this big order.
Pickled fish, mapo tofu, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, salt and pepper bean cakes, pork ribs and bean curd soup, blanched shredded pork, kimchi army pot, and stir-fried vermicelli with bean sprouts. A total of eight dishes, all in large portions.
He also asked Li Laidi to make some hand-rolled noodles and took out a box of beer and two bottles of white wine. When everything is ready, call people back for dinner.
As soon as Zhang Bin and Fang Xiang entered the house, they knew that what Li Wen said was true, and his sister really could cook.
Captain Huang warmly invited the two leaders to sit down, Li Wen was busy pouring wine, and Li Meng took the bowl and chopsticks and sat down. Others called them over, but Li Laidi and Liu Huan were reluctant to come. After all, they couldn't eat properly in front of the leader, it was too awkward, so the two of them ate in the kitchen.
"I would like to toast to the two leaders. Thank you for coming to our village for a field trip. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve the army. I will drink this first as a toast!"
Li Meng drank a glass of white wine in one gulp, which made Zhang Bin and Fang Xiang give her a thumbs up. This girl is amazing!
This also shocked Li Wen, who was sitting next to him. How come he didn't know that his sister could drink so much?
This table full of delicious food really made Zhang Bin and Fang Xiang experience what delicious food is. This is it!
While eating, the two asked what the dish was called. Then Li Meng introduced the cooking method in detail. Li Wen was responsible for pouring the wine, and Captain Huang was responsible for urging people to drink. The three of them cooperated very well.
Finally, after the two leaders were drunk, Li Meng let go. Since they were here, they had to eat and drink well.
When Tong Xinrui came back from work, she saw the military jeep at a glance, so she secretly came to the outside of Li Meng's small yard.
She planned to see if she could find an opportunity to rely on Li Wen. If this succeeded, she would be Li Meng's sister-in-law.
When she sneaked over, she lay on the outer wall, listening to the laughter inside, smelling the aroma of food, and her eyes revealed a determination to win.
