Chapter Ninety-One: Driving the Pigs
Halfway through the meal, an uninvited guest came outside the door.
"Uncle, why did you come over here, did you eat it?" Li Yadong saw that he was holding a piece of paper in his hand, and knew what was going on, and his actions were as fast as ever.
"Oh, eat it......" Fang Huozi replied with a smile and asked them to continue, and he sat on the stool next to him and waited.
Actually, he ate somewhere, but he wasn't hungry.
Because as long as the problem of difficult households is solved and the instructions from above are completed, the village will have a little more active money, and the salary and welfare problems of cadres can be solved.
Li Yadong couldn't really let him wait, so he quickly finished the rest of the rice in the bowl and pulled him to the room.
It's not that she doesn't let her mother know, with his mother's temperament, even if she knows, it's nothing, but a rural woman who is used to living a tight life, throwing out a large sum of silver, it's not heartbroken It's also false.
He can't see his mother suffer, so if he can avoid it, he will be spared.
Li Yadong looked at the list, he knew all the people on it, they were indeed all relatively difficult families in the village, Fang Huozi did not dare to cheat in this regard, everyone knew the roots, there were a total of 23 households, adding up to 100 or dozens of people, accounting for one-fifth of the total population of the village.
"Alas......" Li Yadong sighed, he really didn't know if he didn't see it, he was startled when he saw it, after all, he studied outside all the year round, and his attention to the village was actually very limited, and now he thought about it carefully, only to find that their village was really poor.
"Why don't you do this, uncle, buy ten pigs, try to divide a little bit for every household in the village, these difficult households will get two more pieces, and if the conditions are relatively good, a little less, do you think it's okay?"
"Ten heads!" Fang Huozi was startled, to be honest, he had already calculated in his heart before he came, the goal was three, and he would strive for four, and the guarantee could not be less than two. But he never expected that as soon as people came up, they blocked all his hard thoughts and meditations.
Ten pigs, that's not a small amount, and he can't even think of more.
"However, I am only responsible for giving money, and as for where to get the pigs, the village will figure out how to do it. ”
Pork is a planned material, Li Yadong doesn't want to touch this thunder, and he has no place to get so many meat tickets, so it is undoubtedly the most suitable to hand them over to the village, go directly to the farmer's house to pull it, even if the food company knows about it.
They are all members of the party, who is afraid of whom.
Fang Huozi's ability to strike while the iron is hot Li Yadong has seen it, this guy was born a few years early, and in the future, he will be put into a private company to do business, probably no boss doesn't like it, and the efficiency is surprisingly high.
The next day at noon, before the meal, he came to Lao Li's house with the 28 bars, he was very monkey, and he didn't want to make trouble for himself, Hu Xiuying asked him what was the matter, only said that the village wanted to write documents, and came to find Li Laoqi, a college student, as a staff officer, and then secretly told Li Yadong: The pig source has been contacted.
The meaning is obvious - just wait for the boss to pay.
Li Yadong always had some understanding of his temperament, and thought that he still had to run in person, otherwise it would be a trivial matter to miss a few money, and the main thing was that he was uncomfortable.
But Fang Huozi also has his advantages, Li Yadong has long admitted that he is a talent, and he has found ten laborers, and the seven squad leaders and a man in the village, plus his two sons, have been assembled at the head of the village.
No way, although the pig source is well contacted, and the boss has brought enough money, but how to get the pig back, it is a big problem, there are too many of them, and the ox cart must not be the top thing, so it can only be driven manually.
One of them dragged a thick hemp rope in his hand, made of some kind of tree fiber from the mountain, stronger than an iron chain, and put it on his chest through the pig's front hooves, and let it toss as much as he wanted, as long as it could not drag people away.
Ten pig sources are all connected in the surrounding villages, and there are also in his own village, the ghost knows why Fang Huozi didn't want it, eighty percent is too small, as long as he doesn't spend the village's money, he is actually quite generous.
Li Yadong followed them around for a long time, and Fang Huozi also gave him his 28 bars to ride, and he sat on the back seat of the hard Bangbang, and he was not too panicked.
The price of pork in 1985 was not much different from that in '84, and the price of pork was not until '88, and the state set pork prices between 1.75 and 1.9 yuan, depending on the region, and Li Yadong and his poor countryside here, the price was naturally the lowest grade.
However, the purchase price of the food company can reach less than one piece of seven cents and five, this is the retail price, and the purchase price that is really given to the farmers will not exceed one piece of five pounds, Fang Camel has already negotiated, and he will press one piece of five pounds, anyway, he realized that Li Yadong probably will not care about this money, this is the highest price that the food company can give, mainly depending on whether there is a shortage of goods there, usually it cannot be reached, and the farmers are naturally willing to sell.
This also means that a big fat pig of 300 catties can be done for 450 yuan, and the price of ten plates of braised pork in Li Yadong's restaurant was outrageously cheap, at least he felt so.
Brought with him a cross-body coarse cloth schoolbag, which was sewn by his fourth sister when he was in junior high school, and he was too lazy to carry it in the past, so that after so many years, it was still like a new one, mainly when his fourth sister was full of girlish hearts, and embroidered two small red flowers in the lower right corner of the schoolbag.
Now that Li Yadong has turned it out of the box, it is quite suitable to load the money.
Each pig is lifted and weighed by two big poles and four people together, and the farmers who sell these pigs have already prepared, and the scales are hung up, and the pounds will come out, and the cash will be counted directly, and it will be very neat.
"Village Chief Fang, this is the college student in your village, I think he paid for all the money, why is he so rich before he becomes an official?" An acquaintance watched the excitement on the side, so he pulled Fang Huozi and asked.
"You know what a fart!" Fang Huozi was arrogant and indescribably proud, "College students have very smart brains, and they can only get money when they become officials? ”
"Forehead ......" the man nodded his head repeatedly, obviously convinced by this statement.
No way, college students are so mighty, there is nothing they can't do.
In the middle of the afternoon, I came to Daliang Village, the scale of this village is not small, and there is a small store at the entrance of the village.
It's the kind of flour as the skin, the sugar paste of the bread, and the dry cake baked with a few sesame seeds sprinkled on it, and the powder will fall off when you bite into it, anyway, Li Yadong can't eat it, and he can't eat it when he is hungry, but Fang Huozi and the team leader are devouring it.
I was busy until it was almost dark, and ten big fat pigs finally got together, twelve people, ten pigs, and rushed back all the way, the scene was quite spectacular, and occasionally passers-by always had to point fingers at Li Yadong.
"Please, everyone, go back and don't say that I bought this pig. ”
The crowd laughed.
"Yadong, you are too particular, and you don't leave a name for doing good deeds. ”
"Yes, I don't expect the people in the village to miss your old Li family. ”
"Okay!" At this time, Fang Huozi roared, "Since it is Yadong's meaning, everyone will do it, whoever dares to say that he leaked his mouth, see that I can't spare him!"
Everyone hurriedly shut up, Fang Huozi's village chief for more than 20 years was not in vain, and he had accumulated a lot of prestige over time.
After a pause, he continued: "If someone asks, just say that the village spent money to buy it, give everyone New Year's meat, eat and drink well, and wait for the next year's harvest to do a good job, don't pick it up when you hand it over." ”
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yadong and asked with a smile: "Yadong, do you think you think so?"
"Yes. ”
