Let’s talk about the courtyard house where he lives.
There are nearly 100 people living in more than 20 households of various sizes in the front, middle and back courtyards.
Most of the people in the hospital are employees and family members of the steel rolling mill.
When Daxia was first established, enemy agents often encountered sabotage, and the government was short of manpower. In order to facilitate the investigation of enemy agents, a steward was selected in each compound.
However, the lurking enemy agents have now been largely traced, but these stewards have not been removed, and have been given the responsibility of mediating conflicts between neighbors by the sub-district office.
After all, you can't just cause trouble on the streets or at the police station over trivial matters.
The steward of the front yard is named Sun Yugui and works as an accountant at the Hongxing Textile Factory. The steward of the middle court is named Chen Dajiang and is a seventh-level lathe worker at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill with a salary of 84.5 yuan.
The steward in the backyard is named Xu Zehai, who also works at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. He is a level 6 welder with a salary of 72.5 yuan.
Overall, this compound is quite harmonious.
It's not like a TV series called "The Courtyard Full of Love" that Gao Yan has watched. It's a big courtyard, but it has gathered a bunch of ghosts and monsters.
Today happens to be Sunday.
In this era, there is no such thing as a double break. Generally, we have one day off per week.
However, we are now in a period of famine and there is insufficient food.
Even the steel rolling mill cannot operate normally and has to stop production every three to five days.
Take this month for example, it’s only the 10th, and I’ve already had three days of vacation.
Get up from the old wooden bed.
Gao Yan took off his tunic suit and put on work clothes.
In this day and age, everything you do requires receipts.
You need food stamps to buy food, cloth, tobacco and alcohol, and even a box of matches.
Therefore, despite the high wages of the backyard stewards and middle courtyard stewards, their lives are not as good as imagined!
It is precisely because it is difficult to buy good things with money.
The black market also emerged.
But the items on the black market are much higher than the market price.
But there is also an advantage, black market items generally do not require receipts.
Take the current pork as an example. If you go to the market to buy it, it costs 70 cents per pound, and you have to pay a meat stamp, and even if you have money and tickets, you may not be able to buy it.
What should I do if I’m hungry for meat?
Then you can only buy it on the black market at a high price.
Meat on the black market costs 1.2-1.4 yuan without a ticket, and the price has almost doubled.
Although the existence of the black market is against the policy, the higher-ups still turn a blind eye. After all, only urban households can have a grain book. What should I do if I don’t have a grain book?
The only option is to buy food on the black market.
If you completely banned the black market, would it be possible for people to steal, rob, or starve to death?
And Gao Yan wants to make money.
You still have to go to the black market to sell it.
In Gao Weiguo's memory, he also visited the black market.
Currently, Void Factory is producing three products: nutritious flour, with a daily output of 60,000 kilograms, and nutritious vegetables. The current price of vegetables is too low, and Gao Yan is not prepared to sell them.
Then there is nutritious beef, with a daily production of 20,000 kilograms.
A thought came into my mind.
Gao Yan entered my world and adjusted the world flow speed to ten times.
"Meet the gods!"
Seeing Gao Yan's sudden appearance, Wang Tiezhu, the head of Yuhe Village, immediately bowed and saluted.
With the emergence of Gao Yan, the life of Yuhe Village has become better and better. Therefore, the old and young in Yuhe Village are grateful to Gao Yan from the bottom of their hearts!
"The village chief doesn't have to be polite!"
Gao Yan raised his hand: "I came here this time to ask for your help!"
"Ask the gods for instructions!"
Half an hour later.
Gao Yan's figure reappeared in the reverse room.
Then take a towel, toothbrush, and cup to the public faucet to wash your face and brush your teeth.
He showed up late today.
So, there was no one else at the faucet.
The courtyard also seemed relatively deserted.
It’s not that everyone has gone out, but now that rations have been cut, families who are short of food are lying in bed when they don’t go to work. It is said that this can reduce consumption and save food!
Just after washing up, a dark-faced man opened the door and walked out.
"Gao Weiguo, I heard that you passed the exam and became a level 1 worker. Shouldn't it be time to treat everyone to a meal?" Ma Weimin, a black-faced man, said with jealousy.
"Does my upgrade have anything to do with you?"
Gao Yan responded in a cold tone, "This Ma Weimin is an older bachelor, a cook at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. He is 32 years old and not married yet."
In fact, his conditions are pretty good, he is a level 8 chef and his salary is 32.5 yuan.
But this guy's eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling accounted for three.
His reputation has long been ruined.
Therefore, the matchmaker passed by his door without even taking a look.
Besides, this guy has a bad mouth and likes to take advantage of others.
There was a little grudge between him and Gao Weiguo.
The reason is also very simple. These days, marriages are all introduced by matchmakers. Gao Weiguo is good-looking, has a formal job, and his deceased father left a lot of property.
Therefore, he is a quality young man in the eyes of the matchmaker.
He often visits his home to talk matchmaking for him.
However, in the past, Gao Weiguo was only thinking about upgrading his work level, and he also had a very high vision, so he never found a suitable one.
A matchmaker comes to your door every once in a while, and even if he pays a high price, the matchmaker is not willing to negotiate for him.
Therefore, Ma Weimin's heart was naturally unbalanced.
So he deliberately found an opportunity to have a fight with Gao Weiguo.
As a result, there was sudden damage, and no one could do anything.
The feud between the two was thus forged.
Therefore, when Ma Weimin heard that Gao Weiguo had become a first-level fitter, and that his only advantage was surpassed, Ma Weimin deliberately opened his mouth to squeeze him. After all, he didn't have enough food these days, so he would just wait for him to starve after the treat.
Even when visiting other people's homes, you have to bring food rations with you. Therefore, this horse clearly has bad intentions for the people.
Gao Yan can give him a good look.
"Grandma's!"
Looking at Gao Yan's back, Ma Weimin wanted to rush up and punch the guy in the head, but thinking that Gao Weiguo was not a good person, he suppressed his inner anger.
But I secretly decided in my heart that I wanted to give this guy a good look.
Return to the sitting room again.
Gao Yan glanced around, but felt very dissatisfied in his heart.
This home is really simple.
Except for a broken bed and a broken table with one leg missing and padded with red bricks, there was no other furniture.
Suddenly Gao Yan thought of something.
He came to the bedside and picked up a blue brick, which contained all his current wealth.
The total money is 3249 yuan.
In addition, there are various bills, including a watch ticket.
This watch ticket was left behind by his dead father!
After putting all the money and receipts into the mustard space, Gao Yan went out and headed towards the department store.
There are almost no cars on the wide road, and even very few bicycles.
Unlike the streets of Beijing in the future, which are absolutely bustling with traffic!
soon.
Gao Yan came to the department store.
Today's salespersons have an enviable job, so naturally every one of them is very proud.
Gao Yan came to the counter where he bought watches and looked at them for a while.
The salesperson at the counter was chatting away and eating melon seeds, and was totally unreasonable.
Moreover, there is a slogan on the wall: Do not beat or scold customers at will.
"Comrade, buy a watch."
Gao Yan shouted to the salesperson.
A middle-aged female salesperson eating melon seeds lazily walked over and asked, "Do you have a ticket?"
"have!"
Gao Yan took out his watch ticket.
"Which one to buy?"
"That's it!"
"One hundred and twenty dollars!"
"Give!"
After taking out 120 yuan and handing the ticket to the salesperson, Gao Yan also got the watch.
As for his original watch, it was too conspicuous and he couldn't wear it.
After midnight that night.
In the quiet courtyard.
Gao Yan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, put on his clothes and quietly went out, easily crossed the courtyard wall, and then rushed towards the black market!
