Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 399: Adult Meat Delivered
"Those two comrades were called away by our comrades. They should have gone to participate in the work. I don't know the specific situation. You can wait in the tent for a while. Someone will probably inform you."

The soldier standing guard at the door had a very good attitude and explained to Li Ping'an the whereabouts of the two of them in a friendly manner.

After knowing the specific whereabouts of the personnel, Li Ping'an felt relieved and returned to the tent honestly following their orders, waiting for the next mission notification with peace of mind.

After staying in the tent all morning, just when Li Ping'an was about to fall asleep out of boredom, someone came in from outside.

"Comrade, it's lunch time. I'm here to bring you food. The food supply here at our base is relatively difficult. Please be patient if lunch is not very good." The staff member who greeted Li Ping'an in the morning came from outside with a lunch box in his hand. He walked in and handed it to Li Ping'an with a smile.

Glancing at the arrangement of the staple food plus a large group of pickles and a small piece of canned meat in the lunch box, Li Ping'an felt nauseated from eating pickles during this period, but he didn't show it on his face. He took the lunch box with a smile and said: "No, no, I'm from a rural background, and the food in our base was a rare delicacy that I rarely encountered when I was a child."

"Okay, eat quickly. You have to rush back later. There won't be any hot food on the way." The staff put down the food with a smile, left this sentence and turned around to leave.

Upon hearing the news that he was about to leave, Li Ping'an quickly stopped the food delivery staff: "Comrade, let me ask, will I go back later?"

"Yes, the truck is being unloaded now. Once the goods on the truck are completely unloaded, you will leave with the convoy."

"Don't I have other jobs?"

The food delivery person found Li Ping'an's question very strange and asked in confusion: "Isn't your work done?"

This statement made Li Ping'an confused, and he didn't understand what the other party meant at all.

After seeing the question mark on Li Pingan's face, the delivery person opened his mouth to explain his work content to Li Pingan: "Comrade, your main job is to deliver the information. Now that the leader has received the information, what about your task?" It’s done naturally, isn’t it natural to go back now?”

"Well, what about the two technicians coming from our factory this time? They should also go back with me, right?"

"If they don't go back, we still need them to stay and work for a while. We have already made arrangements here. Then you can just go back with the convoy."

Okay, now Li Ping'an understands, what kind of bullshit team leader he is, he has become a human courier. His main job mission is to deliver confidential documents, and then he can get out.

When he was the only one left in the tent, Li Ping'an's face darkened, and he cursed and sat on a stool to eat the lunch provided by the base.

Before arriving at the base, Li Ping'an always thought that he was holding the protagonist's script. He left his wife and newborn son and trekked to the mysterious place of Lop Nur to turn the tide in this year's test explosion and support the building. Jiang Qing will reach the pinnacle of life from now on.

Who knew that in the end, I would be a passerby. I didn't even go inside the Lop Nur base. I just walked around the door and followed the convoy back. This feeling was really terrible.

After eating the lunch provided by the base, it wasn’t long before the staff here came to the tent to inform them that the convoy had finished unloading.

Depressed Li Pingan picked up his luggage and followed the staff to the convoy that had completed the unloading task and was preparing to return.

After looking at the personnel from each factory who came with him, he found that only the team leader was left in each factory, and all other technical staff disappeared without a trace. Looking at the depressed expressions on their faces, Li Ping'an felt... much better.

There are many people at the base who need to take the transport convoy back, so the number of people in the convoy not only did not decrease but increased a lot on the way back.

The journey back was smooth and smooth. Except for two small sandstorms, there were no other accidents.

When the convoy returned to the city, it was already the fourth night, and it was still the same guest house, but this time because the confidential files had been connected, the guest house did not open a separate single room for Li Ping'an. This time it was with several other factories. The tour leader stayed in a quadruple room.

After living in the convoy for less than half a month, everyone was very tired. After returning to the guest house to wash up hastily, they each lay down on their own beds to rest and sleep.

Li Ping'an, who slept until dawn, picked up his camera and went out energetically to have a good look at the Dongjiang city in the 60s.

This place is really rich in specialties. The supply and marketing cooperative has a wide variety of dried fruits, and there is no shortage of beef and mutton.

I originally thought I could buy some local specialties to take back, but Li Ping'an went over to ask about it. Come on, don't even think about this specialty. You have to buy dried fruits and other things here with a ticket. It's useless for you to hold the money alone. No one is selling it. you.

Moreover, the probability of using national food stamps in this place is low. Apart from normal food and drink, national food stamps have no other use.

The local area is vast and sparsely populated. With underdeveloped transportation, few people go to other places. National food stamps can only be used as food stamps and have no other additional uses. The people here will not exchange them with you at all.

Just as Li Pingan was drooling looking at the dried fruit cakes displayed in the supply and marketing cooperative, a little boy wearing local costumes came over and whispered in Li Pingan's ear in Chinese with a strong accent: "Come from out of town. Comrade, do you want to buy Maren candy?"

Maren candy is the name of the local people, and the people in the mainland habitually call it "cut cake". Yes, it is the legendary sword that makes the forest shed tears, Jiacheng's heart breaks with two swords, Ma Yun collapses with three swords, and turns into nothingness with four swords. The decadent one cuts the cake.

Hearing what the boy said, Li Ping'an immediately knew what this boy did. He moved his eyes away from cutting the cake, looked at the boy up and down, and said calmly: "Yes, but I don't have your local Pastry ticket”

"I know where you can buy marzipan without a pastry ticket, but the price is a bit expensive. Comrade, if you want, you can follow me."

The young man left these words and walked out of the pastry shop as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the young man's back, Li Ping'an chuckled, put away his camera, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly not far behind the young man.After walking for about ten minutes, the young man stopped in front of a small courtyard, winked at Li Ping'an, and stepped into the courtyard.

After hesitating at the door for a while, Li Ping'an loaded and put away the pistol in the warehouse, and then walked into the yard with vigilance.

Standing in the middle of the yard and seeing a few little girls playing in the yard, Li Pingan lowered his guard a little.

Ahemati saw Li Ping'an standing in the yard and did not enter the back room. He knew in his heart that he was not at ease with her and did not invite him. He took the initiative to take out a half-meter-long complete cut cake from the back room and placed it on the table in the yard. , took out a knife, cut off a piece and handed it to Li Ping'an, smiling and saying: "Comrade, my name is Ahemati, this is the marren candy we made ourselves. The ingredients are very solid, no better than those in the pastry shop." The stuff is bad, you can try it”

"You don't need to taste it. You can tell by the glistening syrup on top that this thing tastes similar. Let's just tell you the price. How do you sell this?"

It is necessary to be on guard against others when going out. Li Ping'an waved his hand and did not take the cut cake handed over by Ai Hemaiti. On other people's territory, it is better not to eat what they hand over, in case it is adulterated for you. Even if the possibility of being drugged is unlikely, there is no need to take the risk.

"The pastry shop sells it for one yuan and eighty-five cents per catty, and you also need a pastry ticket. We sell it for two yuan and thirty cents per catty, no ticket required. The price is affordable. You can take a look at the materials we use," Li Ping'an asked. Price, in order to make this business, Aihemati tried his best to sell his cut cake to Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an stepped forward to observe the ingredients on the piece of cake he had just cut. After seeing that the cut cross-section was full of nuts such as walnuts, raisins, cashews, almonds, and melon seeds, Li Pingan Ping An showed a satisfied smile: "The materials you use are indeed very solid, not bad, I am very satisfied. I want all of this piece, you can just quote me."

"What? Want it all? Comrade, are you kidding me?" Ahemati said in disbelief with a shocked smile on his face when he heard that Li Ping'an wanted a whole piece of cut cake.

"Yes, you heard it right, I'm not joking, I really want them all, just tell me the price and I'll pay you now."

"Okay, okay, distinguished guest, I will calculate the price for you now."

Seeing that Li Ping'an was not joking, Ahemati showed a smile of surprise on his face and quickly ran back to the house to get a scale to calculate the price.

Despite its small size, this piece of cut cake is really heavy. The young man weighed it and found it weighed a total of 84 kilograms.

"Distinguished guest, this piece of Maren candy has a total of 84 kilograms. One kilogram costs two yuan and three cents, which is a total of 193.2 yuan. I will give you a zero, and you only need to pay me 193 yuan." Making such a loud voice, Ai Hemaiti's face smiled like a flower, and he offered to wipe the zero for Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an, who was originally going to take out 190 from the warehouse when he heard that Aihe Maiti wanted to wipe zero cents for himself, raised his head with a weird expression and couldn't help but complain when he heard that this guy only wiped 2 cents for himself. Said: "You Ling Mo are really big."

"Dear guest, our costs are very high and we don't make much money. Look at the materials we use. They are exactly the same as those in the pastry shop. It is much more expensive for us to sell them outside than to buy them from the pastry shop." Aihemati He also knew that his omission was too much, and he was worried that Li Ping'an would negotiate the price with him, so he quickly complained about his own costs.

"Okay, okay, you don't have to complain to me. I won't bargain with you. This is 193 yuan. You quickly break this big piece into small pieces so that I can take it away easily."

"Okay, distinguished guest, I will help you cut the marran into small pieces right now."

Aihemati happily took the money from Li Pingan, quickly picked up the knife next to him and neatly cut the whole cake into small pieces.

After Ahemati cut the cake into small pieces, Li Ping'an picked up a small piece of cake and put it into his mouth to taste it.

Don't tell me, don't tell me, this thing is expensive for a reason, this thing is really delicious. Even if the cake is cut and hacked like that on the Internet, no one will say it tastes bad. This makes sense.

Carrying a big bag given by Ahemati, Li Ping'an carried all the cut cakes on his shoulders, and left here gracefully amid Ahemati's respectful farewell.

After walking around the corner of the intersection, Li Ping'an found a deserted place and put all the cakes into the warehouse. Then he took the camera in his hand again and continued walking along the exotic streets.

When it was almost lunch time, Li Ping'an originally wanted to go to a state-owned hotel to experience local specialties, but considering that the receptionist might have something to do, he had no choice but to give up the idea and reluctantly walked towards the guesthouse.

"Hey, Section Chief Li, you're finally back. You've been out for a long time. Director Jiang from the Metallurgical Department has asked people to come to see you several times, but you're never here. Come on, come with me. Go see Director Jiang”

As soon as he entered the guest house, he saw Kong Guangxing, who was in the same room as him, walking over quickly. He pulled Li Pingan's arm anxiously and was about to leave.

Li Ping'an, who originally thought there was something urgent, was about to go there in a hurry. When he heard that Jiang Enmin was looking for him, he immediately stopped panicking. What could this drunkard have to do with him? It was just that he got addicted to alcohol after finishing his work and wanted to find someone. Drinking by yourself.

"Hey, hey, don't worry, don't worry, is there something urgent about Director Jiang? If it's not urgent, I'll put the things in the room and then go see him."

Kong Guangxing was shocked when he heard Li Ping'an's words. What's going on? The big leader of the Metallurgical Department came to see you, a small section chief. Instead of hurrying over, you went back to the room to put things away. This is so ignorant, Kong Guangxing. I would like to ask you how you became the section chief?

In the end, Li Ping'an's idea of ​​going back to put his things was unsuccessful. Kong Guangxing, who was eager to show off, dragged him to the door of Jiang Enmin's room.

When Kong Guangxing knocked on the door, just as Li Pingan thought, it turned out that this drunkard was addicted to alcohol and wanted to drag Li Pingan to drink.

Jiang Enmin gathered a game at noon, and there were five or six people in total. Except for Li Ping'an and Kong Guangxing, who were just casualties, the rest were all comrades from the Metallurgical Department who were on a business trip to Eastern Xinjiang.

Led by Jiang Enmin, the group found a state-owned restaurant and had a hearty meal. However, they were about to board the return train in the evening, so everyone suppressed their drinking capacity and did not drink too much.

At the dinner table, some superiors, Jiang Enmin, put their arms around Li Ping'an's neck and told him to get into his carriage when he went back and continue drinking on the train back.
