Zhuang Hui seemed a little absent-minded as she watched Huo Jianan leave. It was not until Li Mu stood up that she reacted. She quickly forced a smile and said, "Chief, please follow me."
Li Mu nodded slightly, not paying attention to Zhuang Hui's expression, and walked outside with Xu Ling and the other two. Zhou Yang and Li Dezhi followed closely.
As the leaders of the military and police, Yang Su and Lin Qing naturally needed to be accompanied, so they hurried to catch up. In addition, Chen Guangyun was also pulled along by Yang Su.
Although Chen Guangyun was only a small company commander, there were several officials in the Shennongshan Granary who were more senior than him. Logically, he was not qualified to attend such a dinner. However, Li Mu had specifically asked Chen Guangyun to stay in the meeting just now. No one could say anything if he asked Chen Guangyun to accompany Li Mu for dinner. It was a great opportunity for both Chen Guangyun and himself to have more contact with big shots like Li Mu.
The canteen of the granary is above the ground. After all, there is a granary underneath, and open flames are strictly prohibited.
When Li Mu and his party arrived at the cafeteria, it was already crowded. Many military police and granary managers had already prepared their meals and were sitting at the table eating.
Seeing several senior executives of the granary following Li Mu like stars surrounding the moon, everyone became curious and began to speculate about Li Mu's identity.
Li Mu took a casual look and found that it was different from what he had imagined. Their meals were just a bowl of ordinary rice, a few slices of pork, and a soup made with dehydrated vegetables. It seemed a bit shabby. Although many ordinary people could not even afford food, and many even starved to death or froze to death, they were guarding such a large granary and they only had to eat these things?
"Is this what you usually eat?" Li Mu asked Zhou Yang.
“Yes, senior, in these apocalyptic days, it’s good enough to have enough food to eat.” Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"Haha, as the senior executives here, don't you have your own special treatment?" Li Mu asked a few people with some sarcasm.
"Chief, precisely because we are high-level officials, we should set an example ourselves. If you don't believe me, just ask someone in the cafeteria to see if we eat the same thing as everyone else every day!" Faced with Li Mu's questioning, Yang Su was a little angry and spoke in a heavier tone.
Lin Qing quickly pulled him.
"No need, I trust you." Li Mu waved his hand, then looked at Zhuang Hui and said, "Director Huo usually eats here, right?"
Facing Li Mu's question, Zhuang Hui's eyes were somewhat evasive, and she said, "Director Huo is usually very busy with official duties, so the people in the cafeteria usually deliver the food to his office."
"Hehe~" Li Mu smiled and stopped asking questions.
Zhuang Hui led Li Mu and others to a small private room, and then she left to discuss the food issue with the canteen.
After sitting down, Li Mu stopped talking, and naturally, the others didn't speak either. The room was terribly quiet, with only the sound of other people talking in the hall outside. Not long after, those people outside finished their meal and returned to their respective posts. After a while, the cafeteria staff brought up the meals for Li Mu and others.
Although the meals were prepared according to the standard price of 200 yuan per person before the snowstorm, the food was quite rich, with plenty of chicken, duck, fish and meat. However, there were only two vegetable soups.
In fact, the standard of 200 yuan per person is already a lot. One person cannot eat all of this. After all, it is a strategic reserve granary, and the food is naturally practical. There are no precious ingredients. Now there are a total of 10 people eating there. In order to increase the meal fee to the standard of 200 yuan per person, the canteen racked its brains and finally served everyone a bottle of Maozi, which barely met the standard.
Li Mu was speechless. There were so many people, and they only served one bottle of wine? Just to raise the standard? Of course, what Li Mu cared about was not this, but the formalism of the canteen. In order to meet the standards, practicality was ignored.
Li Mu was naturally not interested in drinking Maozi, and Yang Su and others naturally did not dare to touch it. Although they were eager to drink it, how could they dare to do so when the leader did not touch it? Besides, in this situation, they felt a little ashamed of having eaten such a luxurious meal. If they drank Maozi again, they would not be able to sleep at night.
Xu Ling and the other two did not have too many concerns. However, after drinking Li Mu's fairy wine, how could they still look down on inferior wine like Maozi?
Given these reasons, the bottle of thatch became a decoration from beginning to end. It was brought up intact and finally taken away intact.
After lunch, Li Mu said to Zhuang Hui, "How is Director Huo's arrangement going? Can I go and pick up the grain?"
"Uh... Chief, how about you take a lunch break first, and I'll go over to urge Director Huo?" Zhuang Hui said.
Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No need, just take me there now. How can I trouble Director Huo to do this alone?"
"Chief, there is no communication equipment now, and I don't know which specific area Director Huo is in!" Zhuang Hui said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, just take me to the granary for a look." Li Mu said.
"But..." Zhuang Hui wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Li Mu.
Helplessly, Zhuang Hui had to take Li Mu out of the cafeteria.
After leaving the cafeteria, looking at the granaries, Zhuang Hui was a little confused for a moment, not knowing where to take Li Mu.
"What's wrong? Don't you know the way?" Li Mu said with a smile.
"No, no, I know him." Zhuang Hui waved her hands repeatedly, then gritted her teeth and took Li Mu to the outside of a granary.
The granary here has been opened, and the staff are moving food inside and distributing piles of food. These are prepared for the three giants. They will come to transport the food early tomorrow morning and then distribute it to the people.
Looking at the quality of the food, Li Mu nodded slightly, and then said: "Take me to see the food you are going to allocate for me."
"Okay." Zhuang Hui had no reason to refuse Li Mu, so she had to take Li Mu towards the depths of the granary. Looking at the huge granaries, Li Mu had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Xiao Zhuang, isn't your director arranging grain transfers for me? Why is there no staff here?" Li Mu asked.
"Maybe... maybe the director is in the underground granary? After all, that's where we store the most grain." Zhuang Hui said with a blushing face.
"Heh~" Li Mu sneered, then walked to a nearby granary. He first looked up at the tall granary. Looking from below, the granary seemed even taller.
Then, Li Mu used his hands to clear a small area of snow on the granary wall. While everyone was puzzled, Li Mu punched the granary lightly. Of course, this "lightness" was only relative to Li Mu's strength. As Li Mu punched, the granary began to tremble.
Hearing the echo coming from the granary, Li Mu's face suddenly turned gloomy.
