Parked the car next to a van, Ye Chen took Shao Dong into the small restaurant one after the other.

The lobby is empty, and there are more waiters than diners, and business is bleak.

The waiter beckoned, "What do the two bosses eat?" ”

"Let's have a home-cooked stir-fry, meat and vegetarian pairing."

"Then four dishes and one soup, do you want wine?"

Ye Chen said in a deep voice: "If you come by car, you can't drink." ”

Noting down Ye Chen's request, the waiter was about to leave, when he saw the guests who got off the van enter the door, and immediately greeted him with a smile, "There are vacant seats among the bosses, so sit casually." ”

A middle-aged man who took the lead instructed the waiter, "Let's just pass by for a quick meal, just have a few steamed buns, a bowl of soup, and a home-cooked stir-fry." ”

The waiter glanced at the big men, and immediately said unhappily: "Bosses, you guys are too picky."

Look at the two gentlemen at the next table, they ordered four dishes and one soup as soon as they made a move, and then look at you. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Chen's outfit, and immediately whispered to a man of the same age as himself in front of him, "That could be a merchant from Zekou Village?" ”

Ye Chen gave Shao Dong a vigilant look, and the two accepted the documents in their hands.

When the food was ready, Shao Dong glanced at the small stir-fry on the table next door, and muttered to Ye Chen in a low voice: "Section Chief Ye, a few of them ordered this dish from a few big men, it is really simple enough." ”

"Don't worry too much, we'll go to Dongshang Village later, and hurry up to eat."

After the two finished eating, they hurriedly got in the car and left.

A few people at the adjacent table also ate and settled the bill.

The car drove into the village road, and Ye Chen saw through the rearview mirror that the van was also following behind.

Ye Chen was stunned, "Assistant Shao, we may be in trouble." ”

Shao Dong held the briefcase in his hand and stared nervously behind him.

Slowing down, the van behind took the initiative to take a detour to overtake.

Arriving at the Dongshang Village Office, the old village chief took the backbone of the village to greet a few people who got off the van cordially, which made Ye Chen a little curious about the true identities of these people.

As soon as he got out of the car and approached the gate of the village office, he was blocked by the onlookers and the villagers blocked the way to retreat.

The originally kind old village chief also changed his warm and cordial appearance and detained all the people who came.

The strong men in the village tied up several people, coerced them with hoes, and ordered a group of people to squat at the door to accept the criticism of the villagers.

"My old man has long sworn to the ancestral hall of his ancestors that he will be inseparable from Wang Shukui in the county. A few of you have been delivered to the door today, so don't blame my old man for not being humane.

This Wang Shukui lacks eight generations of yin virtue, and he has suffered from our village and the villagers of Zekou Village. ”

The old village chief took out the village seal and threw it on the ground, and then it was a thick bad account.

Shao Dong, who was tied up, saw the anger of the crowd and didn't want to be beaten, so he directly begged for mercy: "The old village chief spares his life, we are from the county investment promotion bureau, not the county office, don't hurt the friendly army by mistake." ”

"Wound a friendly soldier by mistake! This Pound of China Merchants is not a good bird.

The Cui Datou (Cui Youqian) under his command deceived everywhere and scared away the enterprises in our village, and the food of the villagers was about to rot in the ground, and they lost all their money. ”

Seeing that the old village chief was about to pick up the guy, Shao Dong hurriedly added: "The old village chief, this person next to me is the section chief of the third section of the China Merchants Bureau, and he went to the countryside to actually solve the practical difficulties in the village. ”

The few people who were tied up by the lord wanted to show their identities and ask for the old village chief's understanding, but Shao Dong's words made a few people stand still for the time being and wait and see what happened.

Ye Chen got up, gently pulled the rope on his wrist, and with a flap of his arm, the rope on his body broke into several sections in an instant.

When the old village chief and the village backbone saw that Ye Chen was a son of the Lian family, no one dared to step forward and cowered in front of the door, and at the same time shocked the few people who were kidnapped.

"Y-What do you want to do!"

Ye Chen took out a cigarette and lit it, and said in a dialect lightly, "Uncle, it's really ugly for our villagers to do this." ”

The old village chief listened to Ye Chen's accent in the dialect of Taohua Village, Dafeng Town, and slightly lowered his guard to answer in dialect.

"The rice in my hometown was rotten in the warehouse, and on a snowy day a month ago, hundreds of thousands of catties of grain passed through the water, and the moldy millet was really a pity."

The old village chief was still wiping his tears as he spoke, and Ye Chen stepped forward and handed him a handkerchief to wipe it.

"Don't cry, uncle, it's not your fault that the weather is in. I came to the countryside this time to solve the big guy's problems. ”

"In the future, you can't beat the old man haha, you have to really do something for the villagers."

"You have to have it."

The old village chief motioned to the strong men to loosen the other people, pulled Ye Chen and walked towards the location of the village warehouse, pointed to the big warehouse in front of him and said, "This is the big warehouse, which stores the grain that has passed the water." ”

The smell was pungent, and Ye Chen hurriedly snuffed out the cigarette between his fingers.

I came to the warehouse to inspect and found that the grain that had been flooded was fermenting, and according to the time calculation, if the grain was not processed into commodities and put on the shelves within half a month, it would inevitably rot in this warehouse without a return.

Looking around the warehouse, except for the alley at the entrance of the village, there is an open field under my feet.

Shao Dong approached Ye Chen and asked in a low voice, "Section Chief Ye, what are we going to do with such a meter?" ”

Ye Chen glanced at Shao Dong, who had betrayed him, and went around directly.

At this moment, a woman walked out with a pickled vegetable jar and dried dried radishes in the clearing.

Ye Chen approached, squatted down to carefully examine the size of the jar, and asked the woman, "Eldest sister, where is this jar sold?" ”

"This is something that my man brought back to pay for his wages when he was working in a factory in Sawakou Village. If you're rare, I have two more at home, so I'll sell you one cheaper. ”

Picking up the altar, Ye Chen laughed at everyone and said, "Uncle, your Dongshang Village is saved." ”

Just when everyone was puzzled, Ye Chen held the jar in his arms and walked all the way towards the village office.

"Uncle, I won't look at the rest of the village. I am short of time to go to the countryside this time, and I want to talk to you one-on-one about my plan, of course, you can also find the backbone of the village to help me. ”

The old village chief pointed to a few people and stood up, "Housheng, these are the backbone of the village, if you have anything to say, just tell them." ”

"How much was the purchase price of rice and other grains per catty?"

"The quality of rice in our village is average, and the purchase price given by the previous company in the village was 10 yuan and 100 catties."

Ye Chen took out the workbook and calculated with a pen.

"10 yuan and 100 catties, what is the capacity of that warehouse?"

Ye Chen saw that each of them could answer, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and went to the warehouse in person.

A villager took out a ruler to help measure, and Ye Chen used the soil method taught to him by his father Ye Jianguo before, and measured his steps.

The warehouse is 20 steps in diameter, and the distance between each step is 1 meter, which is a full 20 meters.

Visual height 5 meters.

Applying the formula to convert, the approximate storage capacity is about five tons, that is, 10,000 catties of grain, which is a bit different from the hundreds of thousands of catties of grain that the old village chief said.

Ye Chen climbed the ladder to explore the library, and found that it was indeed full of Deng, and he used a pole to dig it down, and it was still full of Deng.

But the gap between 10,000 catties and hundreds of thousands of catties of grain is indeed a bit big, which made Ye Chen confused for a while.

The old village chief hurriedly asked the young man beside him to hand Ye Chen a map of Dongshang Village.

After reading it, Ye Chen immediately realized that he was too anxious and failed to understand the actual situation of this village.

As shown in the map, three kilometers away from the granary, 25 warehouses standing at the edge of the field are lined up in three columns.

Driving in the car, Ye Chen invited the villagers to go with him.
