Chapter 188
Is Feng Si already so awesome?
In this day and age, it takes a lot of talent to buy a truckload of wood from a state-owned forest farm.
Shi Lin looked around and didn’t see Feng Si himself.
He asked Lin Hongwei, “Brother Hongwei, didn’t Brother Feng Si come with you?”
Lin Hongwei shook his head and whispered, “No, he asked our deputy director a few days ago to order this truckload of red pine.
Our deputy director said that Brother Feng Si is awesome now, his business is getting bigger and bigger, and even the city leaders have dinner with him.”
Shi Lin was surprised that Feng Si arranged a truckload of red pine to come over, and asked Zhao Dabao and Lao Zhao a few questions.
However, Lao Zhao, as Feng Si’s brother-in-law, was not clear about what Feng Si was doing now.
Zhao Dabao, the nephew, was also at a loss.
They didn’t even know that Feng Si arranged a truckload of red pine to come over.
The two only knew that Feng Si was very busy now, not at home most of the time, and gradually took his relatives and friends to the city to develop.
“……”
Since it was delivered to the doorstep, Shi Lin accepted it.
After Hu Feihong looked at this truck of red pine, he also felt that the quality was very good and it could be used. As for the wood he ordered from a private person, it could be used elsewhere without conflict.
There were really a lot of people coming to help today. Just to build a rural yard, 50 or 60 people helped, including many professional masons, carpenters, and young and strong laborers.
When they started working, they were so fast.
Other families may need to dig the foundation for two or three days, but with so many people, they can get it all done in more than an hour.
Everyone came to help, and Shi Lin himself was not idle. He was the best and fastest digger of the foundation.
With great strength, digging the ground is indeed more advantageous.
He was called over by Ye Meihui just after digging the foundation.
Ye Meihui, the second aunt, Shi Yuye and other women were responsible for everyone’s meals today.
So many people came to help for free, so they naturally couldn’t treat them badly.
Ye Meihui said to Shi Lin:
“Son, we don’t know what happened to your brother Jun and his friends, and they haven’t come back yet. You can drive the tricycle to buy pork.”
Originally, they were going to wait for Shi Yujun to bring back the brown bear, and then treat everyone to bear meat at noon, and add the fish that Shi Lin caught in the morning. It was quite rich with fish and meat.
But now it was time to cook, and Shi Yujun and his friends hadn’t been seen yet. Ye Meihui was afraid that it would be too late to wait, so she asked Shi Lin to buy meat first.
Shi Lin looked at the sun. It was about nine o’clock in the morning. It would take about four hours to go back and forth to the mountains. It was normal that brother Jun and his friends hadn’t come back yet.
He nodded and drove the tricycle to the town market.
He went to the pork stall and bought all the pork belly on the stall, a total of 24 jin, one jin for one yuan and six cents.
After buying the pork, he went to Feng Si’s honest grocery store again. Only the proprietress was there, saying that Feng Si had been out for several days.
Shi Lin thanked the proprietress a few words, bought all the five packs of Lao Baduo cigarettes in the store, and bought three boxes of small glass bottles of Coke and two boxes of Lao Baigan.
When he got home, he gave the pork to Ye Meihui and the others.
He carried three boxes of Coke and five packs of Lao Baduo to the construction site next to the new house.
Each person was given a pack of cigarettes, and the Coke was placed next to it for everyone to drink.
It’s not that Coke can quench thirst or something, but mainly because soda is a new trend in this year.
Treating people with it will make people feel that you are sincere, and young guys also like to drink it.
As for the big pot of tea to quench everyone’s thirst, Ye Meihui prepared it when they started working.
When the guys who came to help saw Shi Lin giving everyone a pack of cigarettes and getting Coke for everyone to drink, they all smiled and praised Shi Lin for being generous.
With such a generous host, the guys who came to help felt comfortable while working and worked harder.
Soon it was noon, and Ye Meihui and her friends came from the old yard next door and called everyone to eat.
The lunch at noon was just two words, rich!
Three big pots of fish were stewed, and several plates of pork heads were cut for everyone to eat.
In addition, there was pickled rice with a lot of pork belly, which was enough to fill you up.
The drinks included Coke, white wine, fish soup, and tea, which were all available to everyone.
This kind of food, in this era, is definitely something that everyone gives a thumbs up to, and it is several times better than the enviable factory food.
When everyone saw the food, they were stunned for a moment. It was really more sumptuous than they expected!
There was limited space at home, so we couldn’t have everyone sit around the table. So everyone had a big bowl to eat from.
First, we asked everyone to take a big bowl, put the rice on it, and then let everyone pick up the fish and vegetables by themselves.
Wait and seeAfter everyone held a big bowl, Shi Lin also picked up the big bowl, filled himself with a big bowl, and showed off.
After working all morning, he was already hungry. Now he ate the pickled vegetable and pork rice, and he felt delicious!
“Linzi, you must have spent hundreds of dollars on this meal, right? So much fish, so much meat, Coke, Lao Baigan, you are so generous!”
Zhao Dabao held the big bowl, and while showing off, he took the time to say something to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin swallowed a mouthful of rice and said with a smile:
“Everyone is enthusiastic to help. I can’t do anything else, but I have to make everyone happy. The fish are all caught in the river by myself, and I don’t spend money.”
“……You are really awesome, catching so many fish!” Zhao Dabao said, and continued to eat the rice.
If he could have this kind of food every day, he would rather come to help every day.
The two were eating when Shi Yubo came over and said to Shi Lin:
“Brother Lin, it’s already noon and my brother hasn’t come back yet. My father said he was worried and wanted to go into the mountains to find him. Uncle San asked me to call you.”
They all knew that Shi Yujun was going to the deep mountains where there were tigers to catch brown bears.
According to their original estimate, Shi Yujun went out early in the morning and should have returned after ten o’clock.
But it was already past twelve o’clock and he hadn’t returned yet. Jun’s wife was a little anxious.
Shi Zhenye was also a little impatient and wanted to go into the mountains to look for him.
Hearing this, Shi Lin immediately put his bowl aside and followed Shi Yubo.
At this moment, Shi Zhengang, Shi Zhenye, Shi Zhenguo, Jun’s wife and the second aunt were all here, and they all frowned.
If they didn’t know there were tigers in the deep mountains, they wouldn’t be too worried if Shi Yujun came back late after entering the mountains.
But this time, he went there knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, and he didn’t come back within the expected time, so they became worried.
“Don’t worry, normally, the big claw will run away when it sees the hunter, and won’t attack people at will.”
“Second uncle, don’t go either, I’m fast and I’m familiar with that place, I’ll go look for it.”
Shi Lin didn’t hesitate, just said a few words, went into the house to get the hunting rifle, and turned to go out.
There was no one more suitable than him to find Shi Yujun, and that was what Old Shi meant when he asked him to come.
