Chapter 204 The plot is connected
In total, Xu Damao went back and forth to Li Huaide's office eight times, made a lot of connections, and received a lot of money.
Li Huaide helped to inquire about the situation of ginseng, and there were some gains, but they needed to talk about it slowly.
Xu Damao also told Li Huaide about Director Yang's help in buying ginseng in exchange for medicine. Li Huaide didn't take it seriously. The first batch and the second batch, that was the difference in ability. Besides, who knew when the next batch of medicine would arrive.
Xu Damao understood the instructions as soon as he heard them. In one word, delay.
Whether there is medicine or not is just a matter of his words. Wang Tiedan has no intention of showing off and has no desires or demands.
The longer the time went on, the more passive Director Yang became.
As a last resort, Li Huaide took action again, and Director Yang was in vain.
Compared to the bustling crowd at Li Huaide's place, Director Yang's place was much quieter.
He would tell the truth to anyone who called to ask for medicine, saying that there was a shortage of hundred-year-old ginseng and that the medicine was temporarily unavailable. He was helping to make the contact and would urge for the second batch of medicine to be delivered as soon as possible.
But he didn't notice at all that Li Huaide was setting a trap for him.
Dawang Village.
Wang Tiedan got up early and prepared to return to the city with Shouhou and Dahan.
Secretary Zhao came personally to see people off and also gave them fish, and was very enthusiastic.
The person who betrayed Mujiatun was also found. The story was very simple. It was a Voldemort who married into the family from Baicaowa Village. She was a nice person, hardworking and capable, but she doted too much on her younger brother who was not doing his job properly.
In this era, boys are favored over girls, and this is particularly serious in some families. She is one of them. She would bring everything to her parents' home, even secrets.
However, this time she really angered everyone and was driven back to Baicaowa by the man. She was told to come back when she had figured it out, and if she didn't, she shouldn't come back. There was chaos for a while.
The punishment given by the village is simple. The dividends before the New Year are halved, and you have to do the heaviest and most tiring work in the village. It's your fault for not being able to control your wife.
Wang Tiedan and his team loaded 50 kilograms of fish each and set off after breakfast. They stopped and walked along the way and finally arrived in the city in the evening.
The fish were arranged very clearly. Fifty kilograms were given to the steel rolling mill canteen, fifty kilograms were distributed to the courtyard, and the remaining fifty kilograms were given one to each relative and neighbor. The rest was pickled and distributed slowly.
As soon as Wang Tiedan entered the yard, he heard Xu Damao and Sha Zhu arguing. After listening carefully, he realized that Xu Damao's chicken was gone.
Wang Tiedan suddenly became excited, as this was connected to the plot.
He pushed the cart hurriedly into the middle yard.
All the residents who were in a meeting turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of the central courtyard. When they saw that it was Wang Tiedan who had returned with a bag on the back seat of the car, they no longer cared about Xu Damao and Sha Zhu and gathered around him.
"Tiedan, you are a fish."
"Sure. I smell fishy."
"Tiedan, let's make a deal. I want two pieces, 35 cents a pound, no tickets needed, right?"
Liu Haizhong, who was sitting at the eight-immortals table, had a dark face. He knew that there was no fish for him.
Wang Tiedan pointed at Xu Damao and Sha Zhu calmly.
"You guys go ahead and do your work, I'm not in a hurry."
"Don't worry, it's just a chicken, and Shazhu stole it. He admitted it." Someone said.
Xu Damao was no longer angry at this time and trotted over.
"Tiedan, I thought you would be back in two days."
After that, he shouted towards the Eight Immortals Table: "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Sha Zhu has to pay me five dollars, otherwise this matter will not end."
"Xu Damao, you are crazy about money!" Sha Zhu said angrily.
"That's right, five dollars can buy two chickens!" Qin Huairu also agreed.
Seeing how the husband and wife followed each other, and seeing that Banggeng was not there, Wang Tiedan could basically conclude that it was most likely Banggen who did it.
Is he exposing it, or is he exposing it?
Xu Damao sneered at what the two said.
"I don't care. It's just five bucks."
Yi Zhonghai in the crowd hurriedly winked at Sha Zhu. When he saw Wang Tiedan coming, he was afraid that something unexpected would happen again.
Shazhu was unwilling, but he had to accept it.
"Five dollars is five dollars, I'll eat you to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Huairu gave him an affectionate look, and Sha Zhu's expression suddenly became proud.
Wang Tiedan, who had been watching them, couldn't help but shudder. What an adulterous couple.
In his opinion, the two dogs must have communicated a lot in the past few days.
In fact, Wang Tiedan was overthinking it. Sha Zhu's butt was bitten by a dog and the scar had just formed. Let alone in-depth communication, he couldn't eat or sleep well, so he thought of stewing half a chicken to replenish his body.
I didn't expect to be misunderstood.
Xu Damao took the money and the meeting of the whole institute was adjourned.
Everyone gathered around Wang Tiedan and started to divide the fish. With Xu Damao's help, they were very fast. You got one, I got two, and there was almost not enough to go around.
Half price sale, half price free gift, you will make a profit if you buy it, no one is stupid.
Yan Bugui wanted to take a few more, but before he and Second Aunt could do anything, they were pushed to the back by the other residents.
There are only more than twenty fish in total, and there are more than twenty households in the yard. Except for the ones that Wang Tiedan wants to keep for Nian Ye, if many residents in the backyard did not have a good relationship with Liu Haizhong, there would not be enough to go around. You are still thinking about taking a few more.
"Tiedan, come to my house for a drink tonight. I have something to tell you." Xu Damao said while weighing the fish.
"Okay, I'll go to the Second Master first."
Wang Tiedan said this and went to the front yard carrying the fish.
He did not see Mr. Ni, Mr. Li and Mr. Meng come out at the whole hospital meeting.
When I pushed the door open and entered the room, Mr. Meng was not there. Mr. Ni and Mr. Li were drinking wine and chatting.
"Oh, my grandson is back." Grandpa Ni said with a smile.
"Second Master, Master Li, you are eating. I will bring you two fish."
Wang Tiedan hung the fish at the door and started complaining while looking at the two old men's dishes.
"Second Master, this is what you're going to eat for dinner. Isn't this a slap in my face?"
"Hey, what's wrong with pickles and peanuts? I couldn't even eat them before."
Wang Tiedan hurried to the kitchen to check. There was at least one pot of salted fish, as well as dried pork and pheasant.
"Second Master, don't we have salted fish and bacon? Don't be reluctant to eat them? We have enough at home."
"How much can two old men like us eat? Just make do with what we have, it's no big deal." Uncle Ni didn't care at all. As they were old, they ate less anyway, so they were very satisfied with just a little wine and some snacks.
Old Master Li didn't say anything. He just looked at the grandfather and grandson with eyes full of envy.
Wang Tiedan thought about it and guessed that the two old men didn’t want to eat, but they were just used to living like that.
This problem is very serious and must be addressed.
"Second Master, I've thought about it before. Let Grandma Yang eat with you. She has to cook for Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang anyway. It will be more lively for you to eat together. You have also recognized Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang as your godparents. We are all family. What do you think?"
Ni Ye thought about it and was still a little hesitant.
Wang Tiedan walked out directly. This was not something that could be negotiated.
When we passed by the central courtyard, the fish had almost been divided and Xu Damao was collecting the money.
"Brother Damao, do you have any vegetables at home?"
"Yes, how can we drink without food?"
"I'll take two to my second master, and we'll stew some fish later."
"Okay."
Xu Damao would definitely be happy about it. What a great opportunity to improve their relationship.
Wang Tiedan hurried to Grandma Yang's house and was a little speechless when he saw the stewed cabbage on their table.
