Chapter 140: Half is for you, half is for me
On the wooden rack next to it, sausages are hung in bunches, the casings are shiny with fat, and the rich aroma of meat and spices hits you in the face.
The dried fish is flat and tightly coated with salt and spices, giving it a salty and fragrant taste with a hint of smokiness.
The skin of the bacon is smoked to give it a unique burnt aroma. After cutting it open, the lean meat inside is rose red with clear texture, and the fat part is crystal clear.
Chen Tao swallowed his saliva and said, "What a bastard! Move them all away. With these things, our village can have a good New Year."
Lin Panpan nodded, and Chen Tao led his men to move all these things onto the tractor.
Lin Panpan continued to walk inside and saw an office at the innermost part. This should be where Zhou Erpao usually works.
She searched the office for a while and finally found a tin biscuit box. When she opened it, she found that there were more than ten small gold bars and ten stacks of ten-dollar bills, a total of one thousand yuan.
Lin Panpan just took all these away. Didn’t Zhou Pao want to harm her this week?
Then let him run out of bullets and guns. Having no money is the most frustrating thing.
Lin Panpan packed all the things in the tin box into her bag, and then slowly drove the tractor. In one night, the place was cleaned up.
When they arrived at the village, Lin Panpan looked at Chen Tao and said, "Half is for you, and half is for me. Take these!"
"Okay, I'll find someone to pull it, and I'll give you an extra ox cart."
Lin Panpan nodded and said, "Be careful when using these cows, don't let them be recognized."
Chen Tao nodded and said:
"I'll keep these cattle in the mountains for a while. Okay, you should go to bed early!
There is another tough battle to fight tomorrow."
Lin Panpan went home to rest directly. The tough battle the next day had nothing to do with her.
The next day, Zhou Erpao also felt strange. Logically, those people should have reported the news to him last night, but there was no sound all night.
He picked up his briefcase, didn't even eat breakfast, and rode his bike to the warehouse.
But when he arrived at the warehouse, he saw people lying on the ground. He quickly woke them up and asked, "What's wrong with you? You can't even do a small job. Have you handed over the grain?"
The number one lackey shook his head and said, "Food? What food? Oh... I don't know what happened last night, I just felt very sleepy."
Zhou Erpao pushed him aside and rushed in: "It's over, it's over, my food, my meat, all gone."
Zhou Erpao collapsed to the ground. He had saved up all the food with great effort for a long time, but it was all gone, thousands of bags of food!
He rushed to the desk again. I searched for the cookie box for a long time but couldn't find it. He yelled, "Who the hell did this? I found it, and I'm going to break your legs."
This crime definitely could not have been committed by one person. There must have been many people involved, but only a few dared to rob him.
What's more, there was such a big commotion last night that there must have been some clues left.
"Follow these wheel tracks to find me. There are so many ox carts. I don't believe they can fly or hide."
But after searching for a long time, they found that the ox cart was heading towards the city. After searching for a long time, they found that the ox cart was heading towards the mountains.
What's more, there were so many ox carts in those days, and so many wheel marks, that it was impossible to tell which direction it went.
Zhou Erpao was so angry that he slapped his thigh. These things were originally reserved for Zhou Jun, and he had been saving them for quite some time.
Zhou Jun is in a difficult situation now. He had no idea that all the gold bars had disappeared. He was gnashing his teeth in hatred, but there was no other way. Reporting the case was definitely impossible.
He sighed and rushed to the commune. Chen Tao called all the leaders above him and said, "We have a few brigades that are relatively cooperative, but some brigades are unwilling to cooperate with me at all. I really have no other choice now."
The superior looked at Zhou Erpao and said, "Zhou Erpao, what's wrong with you? Are you resentful because you didn't become the commune secretary?"
Zhou Erpao quickly waved his hands and said:
"Oh! I dare not, I dare not, I respect Secretary Chen very much!
But recently, several of my teams have encountered insect plagues, so the harvest is poor. What can I do about this natural and man-made disaster?
I also informed Secretary Chen in advance, but he ignored me."
Chen Tao looked at him and said:
"Zhou Erpao, how do you want me to manage this?
You told me a few days ago that the crops had been harvested. Don't you have any idea whether there's an insect infestation?"
Zhou Erpao said helplessly, "This is not a lie. There's nothing I can do! I only found out about it these past two days, and I reported it immediately."
Chen Tao snorted coldly and said, "Then what do your men do?"
Zhou Erpao's lackey quickly said:
“What Secretary Chen said is very interesting. What do we do?
We also submitted a request for some pesticides, but the commune didn't approve it. Now that something's wrong, why are they putting the blame on us? "
The leader was also a little impatient, looking at them calmly and said:
"I have five communes under my command, and only yours is the one that's constantly engaged in internal strife.
I don’t care. If you can’t deliver the grain this time, you two will have to resign from your positions as commune secretaries.
Think about it carefully, okay? "
The leader was too lazy to pay attention to them and just walked away with his hands behind his back.
After the leader left, Zhou Erpao said with a forced smile, "Secretary Chen, look at what happened. In the end, aren't we the two who are still taking the blame?"
Chen Tao sat on the chair and said:
"Isn't it? Zhou Erpao, you have to make things so complicated.
There's no need for us to fight to the death, right?"
Zhou Erpao also sat down, smoking a cigarette and said, "How about you give me the position of secretary and I'll figure out a way to deal with the food issue?"
Chen Tao sneered and said, "So you still care about the position of commune secretary!"
"You know, even if the position of commune secretary is yours for now, it will eventually pass to me. I'm afraid the grain you brigades have now is not enough to hand over, right?
As long as you give up your position as commune secretary, I'll find a way to get the remaining grain, and I'll also give you some extra money, how about that?" Zhou Erpao looked at him.
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes and said:
"Zhou Erpao, not everyone is like you. Today, I really give up the position of commune secretary to you.
I don't mind if you can do something for the people.
But people like you are selfish. What else will you do besides exploiting the people?"
Zhou Erpao sneered, "You mean you don't want to give it up? If you don't want to give it up, forget it. I want to see how you can conjure up so much food."
