Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Chapter 430 Pulling Three Wild Boars at the Steel Rolling Mill

"Brother Wang Feng, have some tea."

Qin Jingru brewed the tea, poured a cup for Wang Feng, and smiled sweetly.

Wang Feng took a sip of tea and smiled, "Alright, Jingru, you don't need to entertain me anymore. Go and do your work. I've been hunting in the mountains with the hunters these past few days and have caught quite a lot of game. I need to go to the factory later to hand over the game."

"OK."

Qin Jingru agreed and went to wash up without asking any further questions.

She knew that Wang Feng hadn't been hunting in the deep mountains recently, and guessed that he had obtained the game from his hunter friends.

"Brother Feng, how many prey did you catch?" Lu Banxia asked curiously.

Wang Feng thought for a moment and said, "We killed four big wild boars, and there were dozens of pheasants and rabbits. The villagers divided one of the big wild boars among themselves, and I kept the remaining three."

"Wow, Brother Feng, you're amazing!"

Hearing that they had hunted so many prey, Lu Banxia looked at Wang Feng with eyes full of admiration.

She knew how difficult hunting was. She had seen hunters go hunting in the mountains when she was in Lujia Village, but other hunters were lucky if they could catch a rabbit. She also often heard that hunters were injured.

Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Alright, go wash up. You have to go to work after breakfast."

"OK."

Qin Jingru made shredded pork noodles in the morning, but Wang Feng had just finished eating and was too full to eat any more, so he didn't eat any.

Qin Jingru and Lu Banxia ate fragrant shredded pork noodles, while Wang Feng drank tea. The three of them were recounting their experiences over the past week, but everything Wang Feng said was a lie.

Although Lu Banxia gave him a huge sum of money, he still cannot fully trust her, mainly because she has a major general uncle.

After finishing breakfast, it was already 7:40. Lu Banxia pushed her bicycle and went to work at the steel rolling mill.

Only Wang Feng and Qin Jingru remained in the room. Wang Feng took a sip of tea and looked at Qin Jingru, asking, "Jingru, how is our son doing while I was away?"

Qin Jingru nodded: "That's good. I go to Goose's place first every day after I get off work at four o'clock in the afternoon."

"That's good."

"By the way, Jingru, did you know that one million of the family's assets that were confiscated were returned?" Wang Feng asked.

"I know, I just retired a couple of days ago, Banxia told me a long time ago."

Wang Feng was very satisfied with Lu Banxia's attitude; she hadn't even kept such an important matter from Qin Jingru.

"Jingru, Banxia just handed over her million-dollar fortune to me. What do you think about this?"

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly, "I already knew about this. When Banxia first received this huge sum of money, she told me that she has a job now, and her food and lodging are free. She doesn't really need to hold onto so much money. You're her man, so who else would she give it to if not you?"

Seeing Qin Jingru's matter-of-fact expression, Wang Feng laughed and said, "Hehe, that's true."

This is the noblest thing about women in this era: everything revolves around their own men. At home, they obey their fathers; after marriage, they obey their husbands; and when their husbands leave, they obey their sons. They even consider this to be natural, unlike in later generations. Sigh!

"Brother Wang Feng, have you safely delivered Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou to Hong Kong Island? How are they doing there?" Qin Jingru asked.

"They are doing well now."

Wang Feng smiled slightly and gave Qin Jingru a general account of what had happened in Hong Kong. However, he only reported the good news and not the bad. As for the HSBC matter, he definitely couldn't talk about it.

Hearing that her son's parents were doing well, Qin Jingru finally felt relieved. After all, they were her son's parents, and she didn't want anything to happen to them, otherwise her son would be heartbroken.

After finishing the pot of tea, it was a little past eight o'clock.

"Jingru, I'm going to the factory first. I'll have lunch at Goose's place. When you get off work this afternoon, you don't need to go to Goose's place. Just get a pheasant and a rabbit and ask Aunt Wu to kill them for you. We'll have a good meal tonight."

"OK."

Wang Feng finished the last sip of tea, pushed his bicycle out of No. 95 courtyard, and headed towards the steel rolling mill.

Upon arriving at the steel rolling mill, two security officers greeted Wang Feng with smiles.

"Hey, Section Chief Wang, you're back from hunting in the mountains? How was it? Any success?"

Wang Feng took out a Daqianmen cigarette and handed one to each person, laughing loudly, "A great harvest, a great harvest! We hunted four wild boars, and quite a few other prey. I brought back three wild boars. You can expect to have your first meat dish at noon today."

Upon hearing this, the two security officers immediately became excited. They hadn't had any meat for a month, and their mouths were practically parched. Now that Wang Feng had brought back three large wild boars, they could finally have some meat. Although each of them wouldn't get many pieces, it was still meat.

Two security officers gave Wang Feng a thumbs-up: "Section Chief Wang, you're amazing! We got lucky with you this noon."

Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "It's my duty, it's my duty. The workers don't get any extra money, and as the head of the purchasing department, I can't just take a salary without doing any work."

"Alright, I'll stop chatting with you guys now. I need to go to the transportation department and drive over to bring the wild boar back."

"Okay, Section Chief Wang, take care."

Wang Feng laughed and rode his bicycle towards the transportation department.

Upon arriving at the transportation department, Wang Feng recounted how he had hunted several large wild boars, then drove away from the steel rolling mill.

Soon, news spread throughout the factory that Wang Feng had gone hunting in the deep mountains to give the workers some extra oil and fat, and had even caught several large wild boars. Wang Feng's name was once again the subject of much discussion among the workers.

The factory workers were overjoyed; they were so hungry and had no energy to work.

Wang Feng never expected that in such a short time, the two officers from the security department, along with those from the transportation department, would spread the word about the wild boar.

Wang Feng drove around Beijing for about an hour, just like before. He killed the three wild boars with a single stab in his spatial dimension and put them in the car.

Twenty pheasants and thirty rabbits were released, and then the car drove back to the steel rolling mill.

The two security officers were overjoyed to see that the wild boar had been brought back so quickly.

Wang Feng simply greeted the two security officers, then drove directly to the third canteen.

Qin Jingru had already arrived at the canteen. She knew that Wang Feng would be bringing wild boar to the factory today, so she came at nine o'clock in the morning, just waiting to help cook. With her cooking skills, the wild boar meat in the third canteen today would definitely be delicious.

As soon as Wang Feng got out of the car, he saw that several leaders from the third canteen were already waiting for him, including Director Zhu of the canteen, Minister Ma of the logistics department, and even Li Huaide, the head of the steel rolling mill.
