Rebirth of the Flying Era

Gu Bingzhong said enthusiastically: "Don't worry, we don't have anything else in the grain depot. We have enough good wine and food~"

With that said, he invited Du Fei and others to go back to the Grain Bureau's office.

This is just a grain storage warehouse, Gu Bingzhong and the others do not work here.

Uncle Gu sent someone to call back the master cook in the canteen in advance.

In this day and age, restaurants rarely stay open until very late.

If Gu Bingzhong wants to invite Du Fei, he can only do so in the canteen of his workplace.

But to be able to find a chef in the canteen of the Grain Bureau, and to have Gu Bingzhong specially call him to entertain guests, this chef's skills must be extraordinary.

Du Fei just happened to have a mouthful of rice in the evening, and he was really hungry now.

If it's normal, I'll go to bed directly, or eat two biscuits to cushion my stomach.

Someone was actually treating him today, so he didn't want to be polite. He hugged Xiao Wu and got directly into the jeep.

According to regulations, Gu Bingzhong's level does not have a special car.

The jeeps at the scene were all transferred from the grain bureau's small truck squad because of the urgent need to do this tonight.

As for Du Fei's bicycle, naturally someone would ride it.

Du Fei and Xiao Wu sat in the car.

Gu Bingzhong turned a bad situation into a good one and was in a good mood.

During the conversation, Du Fei learned that after the Chinese New Year, Gu Bingzhong had been promoted by half a rank and was now the head of the grain depot.

No wonder everyone was surrounding him at the scene just now.

At the same time, Du Fei also suddenly realized why Gu Bingzhong must thank him properly.

In fact, Du Fei helped him a lot this time.

Otherwise, he had just appointed the director of the grain depot, and there would be such a big mess.

No matter what the reason is, he will definitely take the blame if the superiors hold him accountable.

Sitting in the car, it didn't take a long time to return to the Grain Bureau compound.

At this time, the lights in the big cafeteria in the courtyard were already on.

Du Fei and Gu Bingzhong came to a private room inside.

After sitting down, the two chatted while waiting for the food to be served. Several people came back one after another, all of whom were at the scene just now and were the heads of the grain depot.

Gu Bingzhong introduced them to Du Fei one by one.

These people didn't think much of Du Fei at first.

He was just a young man who happened to have a special cat.

But these people are all old fools, and they don’t look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face.

Du Fei had been a big help in tonight's matter, and they had to give him enough face no matter what.

Gu Bingzhong did what he said.

After a while, Xiao Wang came in from the outside, panting, carrying a blue cloth bag in his hand, which obviously contained two bottles of wine.

Gu Bingzhong stood up, took the bag from Xiao Wang's hand, and laughed loudly: "When we were in the army, our old commander gave it Moutai produced in 1956, and today we gave it a drink!"

When Du Fei heard this, he realized that Gu Bingzhong was an honest man.

I just said that I would entertain him with good wine and good food, which was really not a big lie.

Several people present were also surprised.

Those who have a clear mind can't help but look at Du Fei more.

Logically speaking, although Du Fei helped Gu Bingzhong a lot, it seemed a bit too much to entertain him with Maotai for more than ten years.

Could it be that Gu Bingzhong was too happy?

But with Director Gu's temperament, it's obviously impossible.

Gu Bingzhong just did this, so there was only one possibility.

In addition to what happened tonight, Du Fei also had other identities that Gu Bingzhong had to take a high look at.

As the food and wine arrived, the atmosphere on the table became lively. Gu Bingzhong toasted repeatedly, and the chef in the cafeteria was indeed very skilled.

Du Fei tasted a few mouthfuls, and it was definitely not inferior to Zhu Zhu.

However, after eating for just over twenty minutes, the atmosphere at the table was in full swing.

But suddenly a young man rushed in from outside. Because he was too panicked, he didn't knock on the door when he came in. He pushed the door too hard and slammed the door against the wall, making a "bang" sound.

This suddenness startled everyone in the room, and they all looked at the door.

The young man who arrived wore glasses, was in his twenties, was short, and looked elegant.

At this time, he was huffing and puffing, and was very embarrassed.

Ignoring the looks of others, he went straight to Gu Bingzhong and called "Director Gu."

When Gu Bingzhong saw this, his eyebrows suddenly rose.

He has a good drinking capacity and is in a good mood today. He has just had a few drinks and is not drunk at all.

When I saw the young man barging in rashly, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I knew something must have happened.

But the young man was already panicking. When he saw Gu Bingzhong, he opened his mouth to speak.

But Gu Bingzhong didn't wait for him to say anything. He suddenly slammed the table and scolded: "Xiao Zhou~ What are you doing? Don't get out yet!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, feeling anxious and aggrieved. He wanted to open his mouth to explain the whole story, but he saw Gu Bingzhong winking at him.

Only then did he react, quickly shut up and retreated.

Gu Bingzhong stood up and said with a smile: "Nian... this Xiao Zhou is very impetuous in his work. Xiao Du, please sit down first and I'll go take a look."

Du Fei smiled and guessed that Gu Bingzhong's words probably meant that 'young people are impatient in doing things'.

Realizing that Du Fei was younger than Xiao Zhou just now, it was really inappropriate to say this, so he changed his mind.

Du Fei said: "Hurry up, don't delay the business."

Gu Bingzhong then opened the door and went out.

Du Fei paid a little attention and listened to what was going on outside.

Then I heard Gu Bingzhong shout: "What did you say..."

There was quite a movement this time.

Not only Du Fei, but everyone else here also heard it.

They all realized that something must have happened, and the originally heated atmosphere at the dinner table instantly cooled down.

A moment later, Gu Bingzhong came back from outside, his face extremely ugly.

When he came to Du Fei, he forced a smile and filled the glass in front of him with wine: "Xiao Du~ Today... I'm really sorry. Something happened just now. I really didn't treat you well!"

Du Fei said polite words, picked up the cup and clinked it with Gu Bingzhong, and the two of them drank the wine in one gulp.

Gu Bingzhong apologized again: "I'm really sorry today. Next time, in Fengze Garden, I will punish myself with three drinks."

He also asked Xiao Wang to send Du Fei off on his behalf.

Du Fei was also very sensible, and Gu Bingzhong never revealed what happened from beginning to end.

It was obviously meant to be kept secret.

Du Fei was not interested in this.

But it’s not hard to guess that it might be related to the grain storage just now.

That Xiao Zhou who ran in so hurriedly was also at the grain storage site before and should have stayed behind to do some follow-up work.

Xiao Zhou's frightened and anxious state just now was definitely not a trivial matter.

What is a big deal for grain depots?

What happened that could make Xiao Zhou ignore it and insist on reporting to Gu Bingzhong at this time?

The answer is ready to come out.

There must be something wrong with the grain at the grain storage depot.

However, this matter has nothing to do with Du Fei.

He was called here just because Xiaowu could catch mice.

Outside of this, he has neither the right nor the obligation to care.

Du Fei took Xiao Wu on his bicycle and rode home leisurely on the main road.

Recall that tonight, there was a sudden outbreak of rat tide at the grain storage warehouse.

I'm afraid it's not that simple.

By the time Du Fei returned to the courtyard, it was almost ten o'clock.

But as expected, although the door to the courtyard was closed, it was not locked inside.

As expected, Yan Tiecheng was squatting inside and waiting.

When he saw Du Fei coming back with Xiaowu, he immediately nodded and bowed to greet him.

Du Fei said politely: "Hey~ Jie Cheng, I'm troubling you again today."

Yan Tiecheng hurriedly smiled and said: "This is what it should be, that..."

Du Fei saw that he was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to ask something, but he pretended not to understand. If he wanted to say something, he would say it.

While saying a few polite words, he moved the car in.

Seeing that Du Fei was about to leave, Yan Tiecheng couldn't hold himself any longer and asked: "What about~ I heard from my dad that someone came to see you from the grain depot just now. Is that... is it, is it..."

Du Fei saw that he was rumbling and wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Jie Cheng, what do you want to say?"

Yan Tiecheng laughed dryly and lowered his voice: "Well, tell me, do we need to buy some food in advance and store it?"

Du Fei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised to understand this brain circuit.

But after a second thought, I came to my senses.

It's not that Yan Tiecheng's brain circuit is special, but that he is too sensitive to food issues in this era.

Du Fei smiled and said: "Hey~ What should I do~ If your family has extra food stamps, it's okay to stock up on some. If not, it's not a big problem. If you have a food budget, why are you afraid that you can't buy food?"

Yan Tiecheng blinked, not quite understanding.

I hurried back home and parroted the words to the third uncle word by word.

Finally he asked: "Dad, what does Du Fei mean? Should we buy it or not?"

The third uncle adjusted his glasses, his little bitch eyes rolling around.

The third aunt and Yu Li didn't dare to say anything.

Food is a big deal, and no one is sure about it.

The third uncle is actually a bit weak, but he is the head of the family and must not be timid.

After thinking for a while, he said: "What Du Fei said may have an impact, but the situation is not serious. He also mentioned the grain budget, which means that the price of food in Pigeon Market may increase."

When Yan Tiecheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Dad, let's..."

Although he only said half of what he said, the people in the room all knew what Men'erqing meant.

The third uncle was also a little moved, but he still shook his head and said: "Don't think about those things that are available and not available. If something really happens, if you dare to do whatever you want, be careful and take him out for target shooting!"

Yan Tiecheng shrank his neck.

Speaking of the third uncle's family, they are definitely smart, but they have no courage and poor execution ability.

As soon as Yan Tiecheng came up with the idea, his father pushed him back.

The third aunt interrupted: "Old man, don't say anything else. Should we buy this food or not?"

The third uncle frowned and said, "Let me think about it...let me think about it."

Compared to the third uncle and his family who worry about gains and losses, Zhuzi doesn't have that much thought.

After discussing it with the uncle, we immediately went home and went to bed.

Early the next morning, I got up before dawn and quietly went to the pigeon market with my uncle.

The commercial grain in the grain book is fixed every month.

Before the day comes, even if you have a grain book, you can't buy it from the grain station.

So if you want to stock up on food, you can only go to the pigeon market to collect it.

Moreover, food has always been a hard currency. Even in Pigeon Market, you have to use food stamps.

If you don’t have food stamps, you have to buy it all with money, and you’ll have to pay a premium.

This is why Zhuzi must borrow food stamps from the first man.

When he pays for it next month, he can exchange the food stamps for them, and he can save a lot inside and outside.

If it were in the past, Zhu Zhu wouldn't care, but now he has to be careful.

After a while, it was just dawn.

Du Fei was still sleeping soundly, but he was pushed awake.

He was so confused that he thought it was Xiao Wu who was acting as a monster again.

He muttered "Don't make trouble, Xiaowu", stretched out his hand and pushed it to the side, but he touched something soft.

When he opened his eyes again, it turned out to be Qin Huairou.

Du Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you here so early in the morning?" He didn't forget to grab it.

Qin Huairou rolled her eyes at him as usual, ignored the Lushan Claw, and hurriedly asked: "Hey~ the price of food may go up!"

Du Fei was surprised and asked: "Who did you listen to?"

Qin Huairou said mysteriously: "One morning before dawn, I saw the uncle and Zhu Zhu carrying sacks, sneaking back from outside. Ask Zhu Zhu, what he said..."

Du Fei's heart moved, thinking that Zhu Zhu was there when Xiao Wang came last night, and asked again: "What did Zhu Zhu say?"

Qin Huairou curled her lips and snorted: "I didn't say anything. I just said that the food might be going up. Let me stock up on it. Don't make any noise."

Zhuzhu was quite strict and did not confess him casually.

Qin Huairou said worriedly: "Xiao Du, do you think the price of food can really rise?"

Du Fei knew that after two months, the price of food would definitely rise, but the commercial grain supplied by the state would have little impact.

Du Fei said: "What do you want to do if the price rises or not? Do you want to hoard some?"

Qin Huairou nodded sternly: "If there really is a situation, you must have some 'Guohe'er' food on hand."

Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "If you have to worry, you can save some money. Do you have any money on hand?"

Qin Huairou just wanted to say she was rich.

Du Fei then continued: "Forget it, I'll find someone to buy it later and bring you some directly."

Qin Huairou now has plenty of money, so she originally didn't want to ask Du Fei to buy food for her.

I came here early because I wanted to remind Du Fei.

After Qin Huairou left, Du Fei put on his clothes and got ready to go to work.

As for the matter of buying food, he didn't have to do it himself. He would ask Wei Duzi to help him make a few trips and everything would be settled.

Since he gave Du Fei a certificate of nomination, Du Fei had no chance to use Wei Duzi for anything other than building a house for the deaf old lady.

Just use him this time to prevent him from having random thoughts.

Went outside for a bite of breakfast.

Just before eight o'clock, Du Fei rode his bicycle to the unit.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw a lively atmosphere inside, chatting about the trip to the grain depot to cause trouble with rats last night.

Today's main force is Sister Zhang who lives in Xicheng.

It happened that her husband's place of work was not far from the grain depot, so he had quite a bit of first-hand information.

It was a rare opportunity to stand in the 'c' position. Sister Zhang was very excited. Her mouth was chattering, and her hands were gesticulating with spitting stars flying around.

It was as if she was right there, fighting the rat infestation together and repelling the rat tide.

On the contrary, the parties involved yesterday, Du Fei and Xiao Wang, were all silent.

Seeing Du Fei come in, Xiao Wang immediately smiled and nodded, quite tacitly.

As for what Sister Zhang said, it is actually completely different from the truth.

Xiaowu was not mentioned in it, and it was said that the People's Liberation Army breathed fire, and people also wielded shovels and brooms and fought bravely.

Finally, a group of cats exaggerated into several hundred, rushed into the array of mice and completely dispersed them.

Obviously, nine of them were made up by her.

Du Fei listened and just smiled.

But at this moment, a situation that Sister Zhang suddenly mentioned made Du Fei's heart move.
