In special times, leaders call on everyone to "eat dry food when busy and thin food when free."
The so-called eating dry during busy hours means that when the farming is busy, you need to do heavy physical work, so you have to eat to maintain your strength and complete the work. Eating thin during leisure time means that you do not need to do heavy physical work when farming is slack, and you can live on only eating porridge.
That’s it.
Now is the slack season, the village has two meals a day, and the food is very sparse.
But the whole grain paste in Xiaosi's hand was very thick, mixed with vegetables and taro.
Obviously, this is a special treatment for myself.
"Thank you."
Although he had already eaten breakfast, Cao Weidong still picked up the whole grain paste, chewed it and swallowed it.
The texture of the whole grain paste is very rough and a bit harsh on the throat, but Cao Weidong still praised: "It tastes really good. Who made it?"
"It's my mother."
Xiaosi puffed up his chest and felt a little proud.
Cao Weidong praised: "Auntie's craftsmanship is very good... By the way, I can't eat the sweet potatoes, so you can eat them."
Xiaosi suddenly became anxious.
"How can that be done? My father told me personally that these are all for you to eat. You are from the city and you can only eat mushy food without being full."
Xiao Si’s father is Liang Guanghe, a smooth accountant who wears glasses.
Cao Weidong said: "Actually, urban people are just like rural people. They can fill their stomachs with glutinous rice...and you have already given me sweet potatoes, but I am already full, so I will treat you to sweet potatoes."
Cao Weidong patted Xiaosi on the shoulder and said affectionately: "We are friends, and friends will treat each other."
Xiao Si felt vaguely that something was wrong.
I obviously brought this to you, why did you treat me to eat it?
But when Xiaosi refused, he was a little reluctant.
This is a sweet potato.
Even if he is the son of an accountant, he doesn’t eat it very often.
After all, everyone is poor at this time.
Licking her dry lips, Xiao Si took the sweet potato, wanting it but not daring to ask for it. Finally, under Cao Weidong's persuasion, she wrapped the sweet potato in paper and put it carefully into her pocket.
He was still reluctant to eat it and decided to leave it to his sister.
When he looked up again, Xiaosi's eyes looked at Cao Weidong much softer, with a bit of respect.
Xiaosi hesitated for a while and said: "I heard from my sister that you came to our village to receive goods. My father must agree to this."
"My father is cold-faced and hard to talk to, but he likes to smoke cigarettes. If you make him happy, it will be easy to talk to him."
Xiaosi said and ran out.
He wanted to send the food bowl home first, and then take Cao Weidong to Liang Guanghe.
Cao Weidong felt happy.
He was just not hungry and didn't want to waste food, so he gave the sweet potatoes to Xiao Si. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected harvest.
Dry tobacco......
Cao Weidong summoned Wanjie Mall.
This kind of raw material is very cheap. He chose a Yunnan handmade gold cut tobacco, spent 1 shopping point to exchange for a pound, and spent 2 shopping points to buy a very exquisite mahogany box.
"Am I over-packaging?"
Cao Weidong suddenly came up with this idea.
Put the cut tobacco in the box, seal it with matching wax oil, and affix a gold label to create an exquisite and high-end cut tobacco gift box.
"This should be fine."
Cao Weidong put his DIY tobacco gift box in his marching bag, picked up the marching bag, and waited for Xiaosi at the door.
Xiao Si ran back in a hurry, waving from afar, "My dad is in the office, I will take you there."
The so-called office is an unoccupied adobe house that was requisitioned, briefly repaired, and used as a place for the production team cadres to work.
Xiaosi talked as he walked.
"Every household in our village raises chickens, and what we can get away with are eggs, followed by game from the mountains."
"However, game on the mountain is shared by the group. Only when we are extremely hungry will the team leader organize it twice."
"There are also home-grown vegetables, pears..."
As Xiao Si spoke, Cao Weidong listened. The two of them walked slowly and spoke in a very low voice.
When I meet people on the street, Xiaosi takes the initiative to say hello.
After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at an adobe house surrounded by a fence.
Revolutionary slogans were painted with white paint on the walls of the adobe house, and wooden signs were erected in the courtyard with several documents with red seals affixed to them.
"This is the office. The captain went to the field to check. The scorer didn't come. Only my dad was there."
Xiaosi took Cao Weidong into the house and then left.
Cao Weidong looked around.
This is a house with two rooms inside and one outside.
There are three tables in the outer room, which is where the office is located. The inner room is blocked by a white curtain. Cloth and equipment with red cross marks can be vaguely seen. It is probably a place for treating diseases.
At this time, Liang Guanghe was sitting behind one of the tables, drinking water from a porcelain tea cup.
Cao Weidong said: "Hello, Accountant Liang, I am the buyer of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. I go to the countryside to purchase unplanned materials. This is my letter of introduction."
Liang Guanghe stood up solemnly, took the letter of introduction, opened it and read it.
The content of the letter of introduction is very simple.
It’s just that the end of the letter of introduction is stamped by the factory leader.
This is valuable.
The leaders of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill are all senior cadres, but they are much higher than him, who is not even a cadre and is not an accountant.
Liang Guanghe put down the letter of introduction, took out the dry cigarette from his waist, took a few puffs, and said: "Comrade Cao Weidong, you can go to the home of a fellow villager to buy it without going through the production team."
Cao Weidong said: "I think it's more appropriate to go through the production team."
How much can he purchase by himself, going door to door?
Moreover, many villagers would not dare to sell without the endorsement of the production team.
Although I have made up my mind to purchase part of it and buy another part from Wanjie Mall to make up for it, I still have to do the work that needs to be done.
Liang Guanghe refused.
Cao Weidong advised: "I heard from Sister Liang about the situation in the team. The villagers have things in their hands, but the cost of transporting them out is too high. Now our factory also wants to provide welfare and go to the countryside to collect. This is also a problem for us.
A good thing."
"Only we know about this, and others will definitely not know about it."
Liang Guanghe sat upright and asked, "What's the purchase price?"
"Let's just talk about eggs. For two cents each, I can give you two and a half. The extra money goes to the production team. I can also charge a higher price for wild vegetables and sweet potatoes."
Liang Guanghe shook his head and said: "Other buyers have come to us before. Eggs, regardless of size, are 3/3/5, and the price is increased by 3/5. Comrade Cao Weidong, you gave us too little."
Cao Weidong thought for a while and put forward a condition, "If you can carry the materials I purchased to the bus station, I can add one point."
Every buyer has a material procurement indicator in hand.
For example, eggs.
The purchase price given by the rolling mill is three cents for a large egg and two cents for a small egg. The logistics department pays according to the procurement quota.
Liang Weidong only wanted to purchase part of it, and the rest was purchased at Wanjie Mall. Although he lost a little in Shiwei Township, he made a profit overall.
Liang Guanghe shook his head again.
"If we need to move it, we will have to pay extra."
