After Chu Xiangqian separated from his direct boss, he was still thinking about the big boss in charge of foreign affairs, who actually knew about his affairs.
The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and then I felt the urge to do something for the mainland.
Fortunately, after half an hour of cool breeze blowing, I finally calmed down.
At this time, I want to help the mainland, firstly with food, and secondly with foreign exchange.
These two points are not difficult for me, but if I want to mobilize food on a large scale, the biggest problem is how to do it without anyone noticing.
After thinking about it all night, he couldn't think of a safe way, so Chu Xiangqian could only take the time to let it go.
It's not difficult to do it on a small scale. There are actually a lot of animals, fruits, and big fish that are refreshed every day in the game, but if you save every month, you can only maintain the rations of a few hundred people at most.
This is a drop in the bucket.
---------
After staying in the capital for another three days, Chu Xiangqian had already locked the white tiger that spawned in the Novice Village in a special iron cage.
During this period, Xue Jianguo first gave himself 25 pieces and 10 taels of large yellow croaker worth more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.
I also successfully saw the 300 kilograms of three types of jade.
Just how to transport it to Hong Kong Island is a bit troublesome.
Chu Qianqian wanted to take it away by himself, but unfortunately the superiors didn't see the foreign exchange. How could they give these jade stones to him first?
Then I realized that this was a disguised reminder to myself to return to Hong Kong Island quickly and do business.
Chu Xiangqian was not so obedient. In the past three days, he took Xue Jinglan and rode around on two bicycles with food.
The next night I took her to watch a movie.
And the next morning, we played a friendly match with Qin Huairu again.
By the way, I also got 5 landscape paintings painted by Mr. Li Keran in the 1940s.
The gold coupon increased by 117 points, and the aperture of Novice Village expanded by 1.17 meters, exceeding 60 meters for the first time.
Chu Xiangqian was so happy that he directly rewarded Qin Huairu with the technique of unblocking collaterals.
I went to play games with Lou Xiaoe again in the afternoon
As for deerskin donkey-hide gelatin, after boiling it for 24 hours, the three-pot pot in the restaurant will automatically extinguish the flame.
When Chu Qiang looked at it, he knew that this was a system prompt that the quality of deerskin donkey-hide gelatin had reached its limit.
With one collection technique, you can easily collect 200 pieces, which is 20 kilograms of quality 10 donkey-hide gelatin.
After three days, the warehouse already contained 80 kilograms of top-quality donkey-hide gelatin and 99 pieces of second-grade donkey-hide gelatin.
I left 4 pounds and 40 yuan for Xue Jinglan’s family of four women.
In the two courtyards of Maoer Hutong and Shatou Street, two boxes were left each, that is, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiaoe each weighed one pound.
Finally, I was worried that the two women would be hungry, so I planned to leave 200 kilograms of chestnuts and 50 kilograms of food stamps in the two yards.
But then I thought about it, Lou Xiaoe has never been short of food in the past few years.
As for Qin Huairu, you don’t actually have to worry about it.
After giving her ten skinned hares and handing them over to the aunt at the scrap collection station, it was inevitable for Qin Huairu to enter the recycling station.
Coupled with the private money saved, this girl basically cannot go hungry.
However, after giving her another lesson the next day, Chu Qianqian still took out a small yellow croaker.
After Qin Huairu took it, she cried so sadly that Chu Xiangqian thought she was worried that he wouldn't want her anymore.
Unexpectedly, this woman said that with this gold bar, she would no longer have to worry about Jia Dongxu divorcing her, and she would eventually become helpless.
Now that I have confidence in my heart, my energy and spirit are different.
I pestered Chu Qianqian to have a fight, and then I was reluctant to let him go on a business trip, but I didn't show too many negative emotions.
Lou Xiao'e, on the other hand, was even simpler. As soon as this woman heard that she was going on a business trip, while Xu Damao was going to work, she took all the gold bars, jewelry, etc. hidden at home in batches out of the courtyard in batches and handed them to Chu Xiangqian who was waiting outside.
, moved to the courtyard on Beach Street to hide.
This made Chu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh. Once a woman changes her mind, she is sometimes more decisive than a man.
------
On the fourth day, I returned to the forest farm with a lot of things. First I paid homage to my father, and then had lunch in the forest farm.
While chatting with the second uncle and the third uncle, the team leader Qin Dakui, as expected, brought Accountant Jiang to the door.
After being polite, Uncle Qin hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Go forward, several families in the village are already starting to go hungry. If you have the ability, please help."
After saying that, he took out a box from the cloth bag he brought with him.
Chu Qianqian could tell at a glance that the writing on the box was in German.
When Uncle Qin opened it, he saw three watches and a Luger P08 inside.
While Chu Xiangqian was excited, he also looked at Uncle Qin curiously.
Although the Ruger P08 is not highly rated on the battlefield, it is because it has too many precision and small parts, sand, gravel, and mud that can cause various problems with this gun.
But just like a precision watch, this gun is the No. 1 gun in the collection world.
Even if you put it up for auction on Hong Kong Island in this day and age, you can easily sell it for thousands of dollars.
After a few decades, hundreds of thousands of dollars can be easily spent. If it is well maintained, one or two million dollars is also common.
Chu Qianqian took the gun and wanted to take it apart and take a look, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
After just checking whether it could be used, he smiled and said to Uncle Qin, "How many kilograms of food stamps do you want to exchange for this gun?"
Uncle Qin hesitated for a few seconds and scratched his head. He actually didn't know how much it was worth.
Thinking about the three watches he picked up from the fruit party officers, he should be able to exchange for a lot of food today, so he said, "How about you give me 100 kilograms of food stamps?"
Chu Qianqian nodded without thinking, but said, "I will give you 100 kilograms of wolf jerky. You can decide whether you want to eat it yourself or exchange it for food."
Qin Dakui and Accountant Jiang were overjoyed, while their second and third uncles on the side also nodded.
In their view, it was obvious that Chu Xiangqian wanted to help the forestry farm.
If you take these 100 kilograms of dried meat to the commune in exchange for grain, you can get 250 kilograms of white flour at least.
Last year, I could get 300 pounds of white flour.
It's a pity that white noodles are in short supply now.
If you want to replace it with stick noodles or millet, seven or eight hundred pounds should be fine.
Uncle Qin thanked him hurriedly, then took out the three watches and looked at Chu Xiangqian expectantly.
Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate. He took it and took a look. These three watches were all Lange watches, but two were ordinary watches. Chu Xiangqian looked at them for a few times and then lost interest. He also knew that even if this thing was placed in the future, it would still be useless.
Can't sell for a big price.
So his attention was entirely on the last Lange pilot watch.
After watching for a long time, Chu Xiangqian looked up at Qin Dakui, "Uncle, where did this watch come from?"
Qin Dakui hesitated for a while and was about to speak, but Chu Qianqian waved his hand, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I'll just pretend I don't know."
After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian put away his watch and p08, "I'll go into the mountains later. If I'm lucky, I should be able to get a wild boar tomorrow morning.
Just think of it as my thank you for helping me take care of my father's funeral last year."
Qin Dakui and Accountant Jiang looked at each other. This favor was repaid to Chu Qianqian last year, and if he still says so now, even fools know that he is a resident of the same village who takes care of the forest farm.
The second uncle and the third uncle opened their mouths, and finally sighed without saying much.
I just asked Chu to be careful ahead, and then asked my second aunt to prepare some dry food.
When Chu Qianqian was about to set off, Uncle Qin, Accountant Jiang and five or six middle-aged heads of the village came over with several long guns.
"Go forward, you must have a handy gun when you go into the mountains at night. Here are all the long guns hidden in the village."
Chu Qianqian nodded, secretly thinking that you really shouldn't look down on people, they are all covered with 38-year-olds.
In other words, the heads of at least five or six households in the village had a high probability of beating up little devils back then.
Just for this reason, Chu Xiangqian was willing to help the village more.
I chose a gun with the best bolt action and loaded a large number of 6.5 mm rifle bullets.
I also took the shell gun that my second uncle insisted on giving me, and set off with a bag containing Erhe noodle steamed buns on my back.
-------
A group of people watched Chu Xiangqian walking further and further away alone, and couldn't help but worry and said, "Qiangqian didn't bring Da Zhuang and Hong Niu back this time. Should we ask him to come back and go into the mountains tomorrow or in a few days?"
”
The second uncle sighed, "I said this just now, but this kid didn't listen."
The third uncle also showed an anxious expression, and even scolded him directly.
But the two of them were actually the least worried. Chu Xiangqian just made an excuse by saying that he knew a valley that was a wild boar nest last year.
It only takes about two hours to walk there.
But now it was only the afternoon, and there were still about three hours before Riju, so the two of them felt free to let him go.
When other people saw this, they became even more grateful.
Chu Xiang went to the back of the mountain and naturally found a place to enter Novice Village directly.
A wild boar has spawned in the hilly area to the north of the village, although it is not possible to attract the wild boar from outside the circle every time.
But in the past few days, I have already hunted two.
In addition to the 400-pound wild boar stored in the warehouse last year, there is no need to go into the mountains to suffer.
After sleeping in the guest room of Xinshou Village Restaurant, Chu Qianqian exclaimed feeling refreshed after waking up at around three in the morning.
All the energy I had spent on the two women in the past few days was restored at once.
I rode the red rabbit and went around in a circle, killing all the wild monsters, fruits, and big fish that spawned.
Only then did I have the time to take three watches and P08 to the blacksmith shop and jewelry store, and spent 4 gold coupons to repair the watches and pistols.
Suddenly the three watches and P08 seemed brand new.
Not to mention 100 kilograms of wolf jerky and a wild boar, Chu Xiangqian was willing to give him two or three times as much meat as just a handful of P08.
I looked at my watch and saw that it was just before 4 a.m., so I decided to practice equestrian riding on a red rabbit.
Then he practiced riding and shooting.
Archery on horseback is not a big problem, but shooting gun on horseback, the accuracy is a bit impressive.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian was in a good mood, so he just treated it as play, and actually had a lot of fun.
It was bright in the morning. After Chu Qianqian left Xinshou Village, he picked a large wild boar weighing about 350 and carried it on his shoulders.
I planned to test how strong my physical strength was, but I walked all the way for 3 hours, and I was just out of breath.
At around 9 o'clock in the morning, as soon as I walked back to the hillside outside the village, five or six young men and two middle-aged men rushed towards me, shouting.
As soon as they saw the big wild boar that Chu Qianqian was carrying on his shoulders, everyone's faces turned red with excitement and their tone of voice stammered.
The village had discussed last night that when Chu Xiangqian really got back a wild boar, it would be sent to the commune in exchange for food.
The grain exchanged at that time will be divided equally among the whole village based on head count.
In other words, every one of the hundreds of people in the village can get a small amount of white flour.
If it were replaced by stick noodles or millet, it would be twenty or thirty kilograms.
Save some food and it can last for more than a month.
Coupled with the already available rations, the pressure suddenly became much less stressful.
Two uncles from the same village planned to take the wild boar and carry it back with five or six young men.
Chu Qianqian shook his head. If everyone is not full, their physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up.
If you get injured, even a sprain is a burden, so you might as well carry it back yourself.
When we arrived at the village, a young man had already run back to inform everyone.
When they saw Chu Qianqian really coming back with a wild boar on his shoulders, even the elderly men cheered.
After this incident, if one day in the future Chu Xiangqian arranges for a few people to come to the village for reform, or for young people to come to the village to go to the mountains and countryside, the whole village will not say that everyone will take care of those few people, at least no one will make things difficult for them. This is considered an upfront investment, not to mention that I got three watches and a Ruger pistol without any loss at all.
-------
After half an hour of commotion, Qin Dakui personally set up the carriage and planned to take people and wild boars to the commune to exchange for food.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while and simply followed him back to the city.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, as soon as I got on my bicycle, the little girl Ai Qiu rushed over crying, hugged Chu Qianqian's leg, and wanted to follow her to the city.
Chu Xiangqian doesn't mind taking his little sister to the city for a few days. When he wants to return to Hong Kong Island, he can just ask Aiguo and Aimin to take his little sister back to the forest farm.
It's a pity that the second uncle and the second aunt are not willing to let Ai Qiu act nonsense, so she picked her up and spanked her a few times.
As the little girl cried more and more, the second uncle hurriedly said to Chu Qianqian, "Okay, don't be fooled by this little girl.
Believe it or not, after you leave, within half an hour, she will find other little girls to play with."
Chu Qianqian, who was originally soft-hearted, couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
He took Aiqiu from the second aunt's arms and said, "Little sister, next time my eldest brother comes back, I will bring you candies and preserved fruits, okay?"
As expected, Aiqiu stopped crying when she heard that there was candy.
When the others saw this, they couldn't help but look at Chu Qianqian and Ai Qiu in his arms with envy.
After coaxing his little sister, Chu Xiangqian rode his bicycle, carrying the 38 or so that he had brought with him into the mountains, and set off with the carriage driven by Qin Dakui himself.
When he arrived at the commune, Chu Xiangqian refused the invitation from Uncle Qin and other uncles from the same village to treat him to a meal at the commune.
Just ride a bicycle and go.
After leaving the commune, I found a place to put the gun into the warehouse in Xinshou Village. I hurried all the way and arrived in Beijing in less than 2 hours.
Back in the courtyard, the neighbors in the yard saw that he was carrying a bag yesterday and said he was going to the forest farm, but he came back empty-handed today.
I couldn't help but feel disappointed.
Chu Xiangqian went home, washed his face, and entered the third uncle's house. Not long after, the first uncle and the second uncle were called over by Yan Jiefang.
As soon as they saw Chu Xiangqian smoking silently, they knew that there must be no food left in the mountains.
Chu Qianqian handed out two cigarettes to the two of them and said with a wry smile, "There are several households in the forest farm that are out of food now. Not to mention the mountains.
I asked several old friends, and they found out that they are keeping all the game they got to dry and use it as food reserves, and they have no intention of selling it."
It's been a week since Chu Xiangqian came back, and he already knew that although the lives of the residents in the courtyard were a little harder than last year, they were not so bad that they couldn't survive.
But it’s true that the big guy has lost a lot of weight.
Even Jia Zhang, who was fat and round-faced in the TV series, has lost a lot of weight now.
On the contrary, Qin Huairu these days, whenever he is in the courtyard of Maoer Hutong, he has meat to eat every meal and enough millet porridge to drink.
In addition, the deer donkey-hide gelatin supplements the body, and the face looks rosy. Moreover, the cold hands and feet in the past have also improved a lot.
Chu Xiangqian didn't know until he asked an old Chinese medicine doctor that deer donkey-hide gelatin was mild, not as easy to get angry as donkey gelatin, and had much fewer taboos.
The effect is also more comprehensive. It can not only warm the kidneys and nourish essence, replenish qi and yang, but also nourish yin and blood and stop bleeding.
Donkey glue can nourish blood and stop bleeding, nourish yin and moisturize dryness.
Most importantly, deer gum is easier to absorb.
According to modern explanation, deer is the mammal with the most similar genes to the human body, so it is naturally easier to be absorbed and utilized by the human body.
After just eating deer gum and red dates perm twice, Qin Huairu not only looked better, but her skin also became rosy and shiny.
But Jia Dongxu seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, and his face was a little blue.
One look and you can tell that this guy is constantly tossing his sweetheart.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care. Anyway, if he was weak and something happened, it had nothing to do with him.
When the three uncles saw what he said, they couldn't help but sigh sadly.
Yi Zhonghai asked again without giving up, "Is there really no way to move forward?"
Chu Qianqian shook his head, "I brought the food back, and I didn't pay for it to give it to everyone for free. As long as I can get chestnuts and other dry goods from the mountains, I have a good reputation, and no fool will not do it.
But there is such a shortage of food in the mountains that even poisonous potatoes are dried into powder and cooked to satisfy hunger. I really have no way to get food from them."
At this point, Yi Zhonghai could only give up.
But Yan Fugui and Liu Hai knew secretly that Chu Xiangqian was not telling the truth.
In other words, there may not really be chestnuts and dry goods in the mountains, but there must be prey such as pheasants and hares.
Otherwise, where did Chu Xiangqian get the pheasants, hares and dried meat from where he exchanged copper coins with himself a few days ago?
But the two of them couldn't talk about it, and they didn't dare to say it.
Even if you think about it carefully, Chu Xiangqian hiding the game is a good thing for his family.
In this difficult period when the entire population is short of food, it is important to take care of your own family first.
Chu Xiangqian returned to his home and told Aiyuan that he would be on a business trip in two days.
Aiyuan felt nervous and asked quickly, "Brother, you have only been back for more than a week, why do you have to go out again?"
Chu Xiangqian pretended to be helpless and said, "I have received orders from above, and I can only obey them. Fortunately, the place I went to this time is not considered dangerous. I will try to come back within two or three months."
"It takes so long?" Aiyuan immediately became sulky and muttered, "If my man goes on a business trip every three days in the future, I will kick him immediately."
After saying this, Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes.
"Okay, I'm just telling you this. No matter how much you whisper, you can't change the order from above. Go back to bed early."
Aiyuan pouted, but went back to the back room without any further words.
Chu Xiangqian went to the backyard, called Aiguo and Aimin, and asked them to take a day off tomorrow to bring a hundred pounds of wolf jerky back to the forest farm.
---------
The next morning, Chu Xiangqian went out first to express his love for his country and his people. When he arrived at the station, Chu Xiangqian had packed 100 kilograms of dried wolf meat in two bags and handed it to them.
After watching the bus leave the station, I rode my bicycle and found a deserted alley. I took out ten dried fish and put them in a basket and went to Jiaodaokou Street.
Before entering the yard, he was stopped by the sharp-eyed old man Sun.
"Boy Chu, is it really you?"
Chu hadn't seen Old Man Sun for more than two months, and he was also a little excited.
He quickly took out a pack of red peonies from his pocket and said, "Uncle, long time no see."
Old Man Sun took the cigarette and lit it, and continued to ask, "Where have you been for so long? Also, I heard from the director that you were transferred to another unit. How is your new job?"
Chu Qianqian shrugged, using the excuse of being disciplined. Old Man Sun immediately changed the subject and only talked about household chores and trivial matters at work.
On the contrary, it saved Chu Qianqian's speech, and he no longer had to make up nonsense to deceive him.
After chatting for a while, Old Man Sun let him go, "If you want to find the director, you have to go to the district. If something happens, just go find Chen Huaili yourself."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Chu Qianqian nodded and arranged for Xue Jinglan to work in the street archives department. Not only was Xue Jinglan willing, but the four members of the Xue family, the old lady, and the mother-in-law had no objections.
Xue Hongmei was even more confident that this would happen, and she repeatedly promised that she would take good care of Lan Lan.
Chu Xiangqian came here today just to help his future daughter-in-law build a good relationship with people on the street.
The most direct way is, of course, to send some meat.
Seeing Chu Qianqian bringing over 10 dried fish weighing at least 5 or 6 kilograms each, a smile suddenly appeared on Old Man Sun's face.
After bidding farewell to Uncle Sun, Chu Xiangqian entered the street office building and was immediately surrounded by his former colleagues.
In addition to saying hello and reminiscing about old times, the most talked about things are related to food.
Chu Xiangqian didn't hide it, and said that his wife-to-be was going to be transferred to the street archives office. When everyone heard that, she was in favor of ten thousand.
In this way, even if the food in the street cafeteria in the future is not as good as when Chu Qianqian was still there, there would be a meal every day of wild boar meat braised with chestnuts or shredded radish and a ton of large fish.
But as long as his wife is still working on the street, he can always get some meat through his wife's advice.
This is much better than two steamed buns, a bowl of cabbage, or shredded radish all day long.
Xu Guiju, a rare organizational cadre, and Aunt Xu directly took Chu Qianqian to the administrative office and found the section chief Duan Jidong.
After listening to Xu Guiju's explanation, Lao Duan almost jumped up with joy, grabbed Chu Qianqian's hand and said, "Xiao Chu, please tell me your wife's name and address first.
I will write you a job application now, take it back and ask your wife to sign it, and ask her to report to her aunt, Comrade Xue Hongmei, tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at Xu Guiju and said, "Sister Xu, can you do me a favor to report the matter to the district?"
Xu Guiju immediately nodded and said, "Okay, after I report to my former wife tomorrow, I will take her file to the district to file it."
Xu Guiju and Lao Duan are not stupid. Many people in the street have long known that Chu Xiangqian and the Xue girl are getting along.
And as long as there is a slight mention in the submitted information that Xue Jinglan can get unplanned food, the district custody will immediately agree.
