Chapter 399 Good News From Mike
"Dad, how do we divide these ten kilograms of sugar?"
Feng Yunli asked the most critical question.
Section Chief Li thought about it. It was still unknown when the drought would end. It would be better to keep this batch of sugar in his own hands, so that the young people would not know how to cherish it and spend it lavishly.
"Put it with me first. Don't divide it for now. We'll talk about it when life becomes difficult. Don't tell anyone about this."
"Got it, Dad!"
Feng Yunli nodded. Of course, she was very happy for her father-in-law to do this. After all, her father-in-law lived in their house. It was no different to put it in his hands than in her own hands.
At the same time, Xu Dong went to his old leader's house. Although Director Li had been transferred for more than half a year, they had always been in contact.
"Dong Dong Dong..."
"Xiao Xu, it's you!"
Today is the weekend, and Director Li did not go to work.
Xu Dong showed the bag in his hand: "I got ten kilograms of sugar. Do you want it?"
"Yes, why not?"
Director Li took the bag.
Xu Dong went into the house and greeted Aunt Li, and then looked at the child. After not seeing him for almost a month, little Li Tao had grown up a lot.
"How was the case of Lao Gu handled?"
"The case has been closed, and he will not be punished. Lao Gu has escaped this time." Xu Dong replied.
"The ending is not bad." Director Li immediately changed the subject, "But I really didn't expect that Lao Gu, who usually looks quite stable, would be so careless."
"Uncle Li, Lao Gu killed someone after all."
Xu Dong reminded with a wry smile.
Director Li lowered his voice and said, "Killing a person is nothing. Don't think that our country is quite peaceful. You will know when you go abroad. In this world, the least valuable thing is human life.
I'm not afraid to tell you that just last week, your uncle Li personally shot and killed a stowaway. Do you think I feel uncomfortable at all? You young people still lack experience."
"Uncle Li, your branch is playing so big?"
Xu Dong was quite surprised.
"What's the point of playing or not? We are doing our job, it's a serious matter. Why do you think the public security in Yanjing City is so good? It's all because of our strong crackdown."
"Are there a lot of illegal immigrants recently?"
"Didn't you go on a business trip to Qindao? What happened there is the same as what's happening in the capital now." Director Li replied.
"So rampant?"
Director Li shook his head: "If they don't smuggle, they will starve to death, and they won't even be able to keep their bodies. If it were you, what would you choose?"
"Of course I would choose to fight hard."
"So, as long as the drought doesn't end, these illegal immigrants are like leeks. There will be another crop after you cut it, and you will never catch them all."
Xu Dong suddenly had an idea and tried to ask:
"Uncle Li, among the illegal immigrants you caught, are there any young and beautiful girls?"
"What are you thinking of?" Director Li said unhappily.
"Don't get the wrong idea, isn't there a new colleague in the department recently? It's the Ren Li I told you about before. Do you still remember him?"
"Of course I remember him. You want to..."
Xu Dong took over the conversation: "Yes, Xiao Ren is disabled, and I promised to help him find a wife who can live a good life. Northern Dynasty women are very traditional and hardworking. I think they are particularly suitable for Ren Li's situation."
"You are really addicted to being a matchmaker?"
Director Li laughed and scolded.
"Hey, please help me, Xiao Ren is really not easy!"
"Okay, I will help him keep an eye out, but in this situation, it's easy to find a young girl, there are a lot of them.
But it's hard to find a pretty one, after all, these people are thin and dark, and it's hard to tell whether they are beautiful or ugly, unless you have a keen eye."
Xu Dong thought about it, so he lowered his requirements: "How about this, at least the facial features must be regular, and they must be educated, and those who can speak Mandarin will be given priority."
"That's reasonable, wait for my call later!"
Xu Dong glanced at his watch: "Uncle Li, then it's settled, it's getting late, I should go."
"Drive slowly when you go back!"
...
Just after returning to the courtyard, Xu Dong actually received a call from Mike, the kangaroo countryman who sold him king crabs.
"Hello, Mr. Mike, you called me so late, is there something important?"
Mr. Mike did not answer but asked: "Mr. Xu, good evening, whale meat appeared at the judicial auction today, why didn't you attend?"
Xu Dong attended two judicial auctions in total. The second time was in June, and he bought more than a dozen boxes of caviar. As a result, the whole family couldn't eat it, and it was finally given away by Xu's father as a gift.
Later, because there were no good things at the judicial auction, coupled with the outbreak of the epidemic, he rarely paid attention to the news in this regard.
"Really? I just happened to have something to do on the weekend and couldn't get away. It's a pity." Xu Dong sighed.
"Mr. Xu, don't feel sorry, I helped you buy whale meat, how much do you want?"
"How much do you have?"
Xu Dong's appetite has always been big.
"A total of 480 kilograms."
"Why so much?"
"It is said that a whole whale was seized this time, and the whale meat alone weighed more than 30 tons. I gathered several consulates here to collect this much."
"What's the price? If the price is right, I can buy it all." Xu Dong said proudly.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Mike said directly:
"Sorry!"
"What do you mean?" Xu Dong frowned.
"Mr. Xu, we don't sell this batch of whale meat for money, we only exchange it for food." Mike explained.
"Have you got all the money to buy a house?"
Mr. Mike nodded: "We collected it last month and bought the house. In view of the current situation, several of our consulates want to stock up on more food.
In fact, everyone wants to bring their relatives back home, but if this happens, the food pressure will be great, and we have no choice. "
"Sorry, I don't have that much food on hand."
Xu Dong simply chose to give up.
Their family didn't store much food, and they weren't so extravagant as to trade meat arbitrarily. The more than 400 kilograms of meat, without a few tons of food, couldn't be exchanged at all.
And such a big move is too conspicuous.
"Mr. Xu, you can exchange for a little less. We are also willing to exchange fifty pounds." Mike suggested.
Xu Dong thought for a while and asked tentatively: "I will exchange sugar with you, will you accept it?"
"Sugar? sugar?"
"Yes, if I could, I could eat all the whale meat in your hands."
Mr. Mike is very excited, sugar is a good thing.
He knew that there were more than a dozen super cruise ships drifting off the coast of Tianjin for a long time, and a large number of "foreign friends" lived on them.
There are tens of thousands of people in this group, and their origins are very special.
I believe many people have heard the saying that you cannot put your eggs in the same basket. The rich people also have this realization.
When these people came over, they brought a lot of food with them on the ship. In order to eat meat, they even built an indoor breeding farm on the ship, and maybe they could sell sugar there.
The most important thing is that they are diplomats and can board the ship. He himself has followed his father-in-law to visit the descendants of several business tycoons.
"Mr. Xu, I need to discuss it with others. Can you wait for me for a day?"
"No problem at all."
Xu Dong agreed immediately.
