Liu Haizhong's tone, expression, and movements were all performed very well, especially his final waving downwards, which vividly demonstrated the calmness in his heart.
If Li Donglai had known about Liu Haizhong's virtue, he would have believed him.
Li Donglai looked at Liu Haizhong calmly: "Really? Is it your relatives who need pork?"
"Of course, there is no happy event in my family now, how can I buy pork! Besides, you also know that my family's life is not very rich now." Liu Haizhong patted his chest and said, "My relative's name is Liu Deren
, he belongs to my uncle's family, my second cousin's family, and my third aunt's nephew. He lives in a courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing. If you don't believe it, you can go and confront him."
Liu Haizhong knew that Li Donglai was busy with work and would not investigate at all.
Of course, Li Donglai also knew that Liu Haizhong was lying, but he had other plans, so he did not expose Liu Haizhong.
"Okay, since we are neighbors in the same compound, I will help you." Li Dong said, went into the study, wrote a note and handed it to Liu Haizhong: "You will take it later.
Take this note and go to the food station to find Station Manager Gu Shen. He has mobile meat there, but the price is much more expensive than the meat on the market."
Looking at the casually written note, Liu Hai felt a little unbelievable.
He is also a seventh-level blacksmith. He often follows the leader and has heard about the mobile meat.
The supply of materials in these years was tight, especially the supply of meat, which was far from meeting the needs of the capital. In order to ensure the nutrition of some key personnel, the food station specially set aside some meat as mobile meat.
Mobile meat does not require meat tickets, but it requires something even rarer than meat tickets - batch strips.
Generally speaking, even approval notes at the level of Director Yang are not easy to use, but Li Donglai just wrote a note casually?
Li Donglai looked at the note and seemed to remember something. He quickly took it back and took out his pen to sign his name on it.
"By the way, I forgot to sign!"
Bangs was speechless for a while.
However, he still took the note without hesitation.
If you take this thing into a food station, even if you get kicked out, it's better than being caught in the pigeon market.
After leaving Li Donglai's house, Liu Haizhong looked at the crutches placed at the door and fell into silence.
The food station is at least ten miles away from the courtyard. According to his current condition, he can't reach it at all.
It stands to reason that Yi Zhonghai should give the note to the second aunt at this time and ask the second aunt to go to the food station, but from the bottom of his heart, he despises this old woman who only knows how to do housework at home all her life.
And that guy Zhang Manshan probably went to work long ago.
In the end, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to limp to the front yard.
At this time, Yan Bugui was still collecting waste cardboard in the front yard. When he saw Liu Haizhong walking over, he didn't even raise his head.
This guy is still angry because of what just happened.
Liu Haizhong could only sneer and say: "Lao Yan, I want you to help me with something."
Yan Bugui raised his head and rolled his eyes.
Liu Haizhong then said: "You don't have class this morning, right?"
"There are no classes, but I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to help you!" Yan Bugui also acted like a child at this moment.
Liu Haizhong had no choice but to say bluntly: "Lao Yan, this is very simple. I want to rent your bicycle and you as well."
"renter?" Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, looked Liu Haizhong up and down, and suddenly smiled: "This is really strange, Liu Haizhong, please tell me what you want to do, I don't have time to chat with you here.
"
Liu Haizhong said slowly: "I'm going to the food station to buy meat, but look at me like this..."
Only then did Yan Bugui realize it, and felt ecstatic in his heart. Liu Haizhong was going to give him money.
The unpleasantness just now has long since disappeared without a trace.
Yan Bugui started to calculate with his fingers: "Old Liu, we are all neighbors. You also know that it usually costs 50 cents for those residents to rent my bicycle for a trip. Now with me as a big living person,
No matter what, it’s one and a half dollars, so you just give me two dollars.”
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong's face suddenly darkened: "Yan Bugui, are you kidding? How much money do you earn in a month? Besides, it's only about ten miles from here to the food station. We only need two."
I can finish my work and come back in an hour, and you actually charge me one dollar and fifty cents, which is a sky-high price!"
Yan Bugui rolled his eyes: "It's only one dollar and a half, you can go or not."
Liu Haizhong: "..."
Liu Haizhong wanted to pick up a stick and beat Yan Bugui until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay, let's be neighbors. The fat will not be left to outsiders. Now you can go push the cart. Let's set off right away."
Yan Bugui chuckled and said, "In addition, I have to add a condition. You need to sell me all your waste wine bottles."
"...Okay, hurry up and push the bike." Liu Haizhong urged.
Yan Bugui stretched out his hand: "You have to pay first."
Liu Haizhong: "..."
He felt that he was being pinched by Yan Bugui, so he had no choice but to take out two dollars from his pocket and hand them to Yan Bugui.
After Yan Bugui took the money, he counted it carefully, put it in his pocket happily, and then ran to the eaves and pushed out the bicycle.
The two of them got on their bicycles and set off directly in the direction of the food station.
Liu Haizhong sat on the back seat of the bicycle. At the beginning, he was in a relatively good mood. Although he spent two yuan, Yan Bugui, as the third uncle of the courtyard, could ride the bicycle for him.
These days, cyclists, before liberation, were just pulling rickshaws!
Yan Bugui is pulling the cart, and he is sitting on the cart, which is also a respectable thing!
Well, who doesn’t have a little Ah Q spirit these days?
However, Liu Haizhong soon felt something was wrong, because he smelled a stink coming from behind the coachman's butt.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The stench is even a bit irritating to the eyes.
Liu Haizhong covered his nose and said: "Lao Yan, what did you eat yesterday? Why can't you stop eating it? We are not in a hurry, so you don't need to add boost!"
Yan Bugui is also an experienced driver. While riding his bicycle, he turned his head and looked at Liu Haizhong: "Hey, Teacher Zhang's house cooked soybeans yesterday, so I ate more. Please bear with me."
Before he finished speaking, another smelly smell came over him. Bangzhong just opened his mouth wide and drank everything into his stomach.
Now he couldn't bear it any longer. His stomach was churning and he wanted to vomit.
Liu Haizhong was sitting in the back seat, swaying around. It didn't matter, Yan Bugui couldn't hold the handle of the car, and there happened to be a big hole in front of him.
"Bangs, don't move too much, they're going to fall off..."
Before Yan Bugui could finish his words, there was only a bang, and the two of them rushed into the pit with their bicycles, and they fell and fell on their backs.
It was good for Yan Bugui. After all, he had been prepared. Although his calf was severely pinned by the car's bumper, the problem was not serious, it was just a little painful.
He sat on the ground for a while and then stood up.
Liu Haizhong was miserable. He was injured himself. He was knocked off the bicycle and fell heavily to the bottom of the pit. He lay groaning in it.
"Yan Bugui, come and save me!" Liu Haizhong wanted to stand up, but after trying twice, it didn't work, so he could only extend his hand to Yan Bugui.
At this time, Yan Bugui was only concerned about his bicycle, and he could not care about Liu Haizhong.
"Hey, my bike, look at the paint, it's all chipped off." Yan Bugui stroked the scratched area and almost shed tears.
He wiped his eyes and turned to look at Liu Haizhong: "Liu Haizhong, you have to pay for my bicycle!"
Liu Haizhong was gasping in pain. When he heard this, he stopped immediately: "Why! Lao Yan, you fell down while riding your bicycle and injured me. I won't let you compensate me.
That’s so generous, you have the nerve to ask me for money now!”
"Although I am riding the bicycle, you are the employer and I am just a helper. Now that the bicycle falls, you should naturally be responsible." Yan Bugui said coldly.
This was the first time Liu Haizhong heard this kind of rhetoric: "Yan Bugui, don't say so much, you are the rickshaw driver. Now you have knocked down the customer. Who do you think is responsible?"
"What a rickshaw driver, you are the employer!" Yan Bugui replied.
The two then had a heated debate over the division of responsibilities.
After half an hour, the onlookers felt a little bored.
"Hey, don't lie down on the road and affect traffic!"
Only then did Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui notice that at some point, the road was surrounded by people. The old ladies, old men, old sisters-in-law, and young wives were pointing at them with their fingers.
The two of them were tired of lying down now. The pain in Liu Haizhong's body had also completely disappeared.
Remembering the matter of buying meat, Liu Haizhong got up from the ground first, looked at Yan Bugui and said: "Old Yan, I won't hold you responsible for hurting me, and don't let me pay for your bicycle.
Let’s forget about what happened today!”
Although Yan Bugui was very harsh in his words, he also knew that he was being unreasonable this time.
So after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and reached out to pull up his bangs.
"Shall we continue to the food station?"
"Of course, I still have to buy meat!"
"Okay, okay..."
Yan Bugui got on the bicycle, let Liu Haizhong sit on the back seat, and the two of them continued towards the food station.
Because they were wasted on the road, by the time the two of them arrived at the food station, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the food station was also busy.
Because the food station was not open to the public, neither Liu Haizhong nor Yan Bugui had been here before. They looked at the chaotic crowd and looked at each other.
"Lao Yan, do you know who to ask for help?"
"Don't you have the approval slip from our first uncle? Of course, you should go directly to the leader."
"Yeah!"
Liu Haizhong reacted and quickly took the batch slip to the place where the pigs were slaughtered. As soon as he walked in, he saw a familiar figure and slapped his forehead.
What an oversight. Shazhu's daughter-in-law, Yu Juhua, works here. You can find Yu Juhua.
Liu Haizhong stood on tiptoe and shouted inward: "Yu chrysanthemum, Yu chrysanthemum."
prick....
At this time, Yu Juhua was stabbing the butcher's knife into the throat of a big fat pig. She heard the shouting outside and ignored the squealing big fat pig.
She turned around and walked out with the big fat pig stained with blood in her hands: "Who is calling me?"
When Liu Haizhong saw the blood on the butcher's knife still dripping down, he quickly shrank his neck and whispered: "Yu Juhua, it's me, Liu Haizhong in the courtyard."
"It's the second uncle, what's the matter with you?" Yu Juhua walked towards Liu Haizhong holding a butcher's knife.
Liu Haizhong was startled and said quickly: "Put that thing down first."
"Tsk, a grown man is afraid of this thing!" Although Yu Juhua didn't want to see Liu Haizhong, but thinking that they were all neighbors in the compound, she still put the butcher's knife on the table, turned around and walked out.
When she learned that Liu Haizhong was looking for a leader, Yu Juhua frowned: "Our webmaster is a very busy man, and ordinary people can't see him at all."
"I have our uncle's note." He took out the note from his bangs.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yu Juhua also understood that Liu Haizhong wanted to buy meat, so she took the note and said with a smile: "You wait here, I will report this matter to the webmaster."
After saying that, Yu Juhua entered the office building with her wristband in hand.
When I came back again, the note had turned into a letter of introduction.
"Come with me, I will take you to buy mobile meat."
The place that sells mobile meat is a small room in the food station, and there has been a long queue outside.
Yu Juhua ignored the dissatisfied looks of those people, walked into the hut with Liu Haizhong, and threw the note to the saleswoman in charge of buying meat.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Aunt Wang, this is specially approved by the webmaster, please join the queue."
"That's easy to say. Anyway, there is plenty of meat today, and everyone has a share." The female saleswoman took the letter of introduction, casually put it into a bill holder, and then stretched out her hand towards her bangs: "Thirty yuan!"
"What? Thirty yuan..." Liu Haizhong's eyes widened like bells when he heard the price.
Although he knew that the meat at the food station would definitely not be given to him for free, he just did not expect that the price would be so high.
"What, you don't want to pay?" The saleswoman didn't give Liu Haizhong a good look just because he was the webmaster.
He stood up and pointed at the team behind him, and said coldly: "If you don't want to buy it, just leave quickly. There are so many people waiting behind you!"
People in the team were already dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong cutting in line, and when they heard this, they immediately started to boo.
"Yes, if you don't have money, just leave quickly, we are still waiting to buy meat!"
"In this day and age, it's good to have meat. Is it possible for you to come up with the normal price?"
"Hey, old comrade, are you leaving?"
....
Liu Haizhong originally planned to take advantage of Li Donglai's name, but he didn't expect that he would have to sell meat at a high price.
Although he was unwilling, thinking about the wedding banquet that was about to be reported, he could only grit his teeth and take out thirty yuan.
"Well, you still got a big advantage." The saleswoman took the money, rolled her eyes at her bangs, turned around, picked up the butcher's knife, and chopped off a piece of meat from the meat rack.
Pick up the steelyard and weigh it, hey, no more, no less, exactly ten kilograms.
....
At noon, Liu Haizhong rode Yan Bugui's bicycle back to the courtyard.
Looking at that valuable piece of pork, I felt like crying.
