"Hey, Xiaowen, you are well prepared!" Sun Lianying looked at a handful of steamed buns and laughed.

"Uncle Sun, there are a lot of buns here. Share them with everyone. Eating one is much better than eating pancakes." Li Wen smiled and handed the buns over.

"Okay, I'll share it with everyone, and your dumpling will be included in the company's business trip expenses." Sun Lianying was not polite.

After all, white bread is much more delicious than two-faced pancakes. It has vegetables and noodles, and with some hot water, it is comfortable to eat.

"This white bun is soft and tastes different. The chives and tofu are so delicious!" Zhang Junqiang took two buns and ate them.

"Uncle Zhang, your salary is more than 60 yuan a month. Why don't you ask your aunt to steam some steamed buns for you? It will be convenient to eat on the road." Li Wen asked Zhang Junqiang with a smile.

"How much white flour can be supplied in a month? A family only has less than ten kilograms per month, which is not enough to eat at all.

My salary is not that high. We have six children at home, and your aunt has no salary. She has to pay for foster care for the elderly in the countryside every month, and occasionally she has to help relatives.

And when there are more people in the family, it is inevitable that someone will have a headache. Even though more than fifty yuan is a lot, there is not much money left every month. ωωw..net

The price of white noodles in the black market and the pigeon market in the morning has caught up with the price of meat, so if you want to eat white noodles, you should wait until your uncle retires!" Zhang Junqiang said with a smile.

"It's not easy for parents! My parents often give us all the delicious food, and they eat the rough ones themselves." Li Wen sighed after hearing this.

"Uncle Zhang, can you help me with a private job tonight? Don't worry, it's only a few kilometers away. I'll give you ten pounds of white noodles then." After the relationship got closer, Li Wen revealed his little thoughts.

"Are there any contraband? I can't haul those things." Zhang Junqiang is someone who has been here before and often does private work.

Moreover, the personnel of the Purchasing Department often ask them to reship goods, so there is nothing surprising about Li Wen's proposal.

Li Wen knew that he couldn't hide this matter from the driver, so he told him directly.

"The section chief also knew about this. My friend had a batch of grain that he wanted to exchange for tea, so I helped him get involved.

The food this time is refined white flour, which will also benefit our unit. We will have to trouble you when we get back." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Okay, I often do this kind of thing in your purchasing department. As long as it's not a prohibited item and the distance is too far, I can help.

In this way, you set a time in the evening, and I will help you transport it to the designated location." Zhang Junqiang smiled and nodded.

Li Wen looked at Zhang Junqiang frowning and thinking, knowing that Zhang Junqiang had never dealt with him before, he was a little worried.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry. Section Chief Sun also knows about this and he will be present when the tea is transported." Li Wen explained.

"That's no problem. You can call me at any time when the time comes." Zhang Junqiang felt relieved when he heard that Sun Lianying was also present.

After simply eating a few steamed buns, everyone rested by the river for twenty minutes, then got in the car and set off.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy had entered Jinzhou City, and the surrounding environment began to become broader.

The area where Jinzhou is located is a small basin, surrounded by mountains and a wide plain in the middle.

Jinzhou is extremely rich in products because of its dangerous situation and few military disasters since ancient times. In addition, the land is fertile and the rain is abundant, which is very conducive to the growth of crops.

Jinzhou area mainly grows rice, which is completely different from wheat and corn in other areas of Qin Province.

Mid-to-late September happens to be the rice harvesting season in Jinzhou. Everywhere along the way is golden, and the land of Jinzhou is full of harvest scenes.

"The rice in Jinzhou is pretty good. Let's go back and find a way to get some." Sun Lianying said with a smile as he looked out the car window at the commune members harvesting orders.

"The rice tastes really good. I'll get a bag of flour when the time comes. Uncle Sun, you can help me change it." Li Wen suggested, looking at the heavy rice.

"Okay! Lao Zhang, how about you? This meal of cornmeal is not nutritious. Let's get some rice at home to try. Then we can give it to this kid at a fair price." Sun Lianying said with a smile towards Zhang Junqiang who was driving.

"Then, give me twenty kilograms, thank you, Section Chief Sun!" Zhang Junqiang heard that there was a bargain for him, and he agreed with a smile.

"Sit tight, the road is all cement. I have to speed up." As we approached Jinzhou City, the gravel road turned into a cement road, and the road surface became much smoother and wider.

"Lao Zhang, when did Jinzhou build cement roads? I came here once in 1959, and it was still a gravel road at that time." Sun Lianying was also very happy looking at the flat cement road.

"It was built at the beginning of last year. It rained a lot. The gravel road was useless. We mobilized tens of thousands of people and built more than 60 kilometers of cement roads in one month." Zhang Junqiang was no longer nervous while driving on the flat cement road and smiled.

Then Li Wen started talking.

"The power of the people is boundless!" After a while, Sun Lianying spat out a sentence.

"yes!"

"Yes!"

Li Wen and Zhang Junqiang echoed in unison.

After driving for more than an hour, the convoy began to enter the city.

In his previous life, Li Wen visited Jinzhou once. Although Jinzhou at that time could not be said to be a metropolis, as a prefecture-level city, it was still very prosperous, with row upon row of high-rise buildings.

At this time, Jinzhou can only be described as old and shabby. There are private houses everywhere, and there are only a handful of four- and five-story buildings. It is not as luxurious as a town in the future.

Looking at the old city and thinking about the high-rise buildings of later generations, Li Wen couldn't help but feel proud of his motherland.

After entering the city, we drove for almost half an hour and finally arrived at the department store in downtown Jinzhou.

The population of Jinzhou City is only a few hundred thousand, and the department store is relatively small, with only two floors.

"We're here, we're at the station." Zhang Junqiang said and began to slow down.

Li Wen looked at his watch. He started walking at around ten o'clock in the morning and it was almost six o'clock now. He had been walking for eight hours.

"Chief Sun, welcome to Jinzhou to guide the work." Sun Lianying had just gotten out of the car and walked around to relax, when several leaders from the Jinzhou City Department Store came to greet him.

Sun Lianying is the section chief of the provincial head office, which is supposed to be half a level lower than the general manager of the Jinzhou Department Store.

But now the main leaders of Jinzhou City are here, and they are not slacking off at all. This is the principle of the third level of Beijing officials.

"Hello, Manager Wang, how can I trouble you to come here in person?" Sun Lianying smiled and stepped forward to shake hands.

"Chief Sun, you have worked hard all the way. We have already arranged dinner. Let's eat first." Manager Wang and Sun Lianying exchanged pleasantries for a while.

After greeting each other, it is natural to return to the dinner table. This has been a tradition in Daxia since ancient times.

"Xiao Wen, come with me." Sun Lianying turned his head and waved to Li Wen.

Li Wenwen came to prepare to go to dinner with the drivers. Unexpectedly, Sun Lianying insisted on dragging him along, so he had no choice but to follow him.

The place to eat is in the private room of the canteen of the department store. It seems that this is the leader's small canteen.

In addition to Li Wen and Sun Lianying, there were six people in the Jinzhou Department Store following the private room.

Sun Lianying was naturally invited to sit in the upper seat. Li Wen declined and sat in the last seat near the door. Several leaders in Jinzhou saw that Sun Lianying had no objection, so they allowed Li Wen to sit as he pleased.

After everyone sat down, the kitchen began to serve food. I have to say that as a very wealthy department store, the treat was really good.

There are four cold dishes alone, including two meat dishes, and the other vegetarian dishes are also mountain mushrooms. It is worthy of the mountainous Jinzhou.

After a while of greetings, a person who accompanied us poured Xifeng wine for everyone. After drinking for three rounds, we started eating.

Li Wen saw that everyone here was really eating and was not being polite. He was also hungry, so he started eating.

After a while, four hot dishes and a white fungus soup were also served on the table. Today's dish is four meat and four vegetarian dishes, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
