Driving the car, Zhou Xiaozheng considered that the boss Zhou Xiaocun was also back today. Originally, he wanted to go to see the old lady, but he was not interested at this time. He drove the car and pondered whether he should teach Zhou Xiaocun a hard lesson, or just ignore him? There's no rush on this matter, let's see it for a few days.

When the car left the county seat, he decided to go to a farther place first to see if there was any fine grain? If he's not mistaken, there's an HX county in Province K that's not far from him. There is more land than on their side, and they live a little richer, and they still rely on the sea. The seafood at the end of the year here is all brought over from there. If you drive, it will take up to 2 hours, and a day round trip is enough. When Zhou Xiaozheng was concerned, he immediately turned around and drove towards the reverse of Daqingshan.

Driving all the way, the closer you get to Province K, the more large trucks come and go on the road. Zhou Xiaozheng was secretly happy, he had come to the right place. He stopped on the side of the road and waited for a while, and when he saw a large truck heading in the direction of Province K, he immediately followed closely and drove for an hour, seeing that the large truck was heading in the direction of the suburbs outside Province K.

He hurriedly honked a horn to say hello, stretched out his head and saw the other party stop, and hurriedly got out of the car and stepped forward, "Comrade, I want to inquire, where do you see where to buy fine grain nearby?" ”

The other party looked at him, and when he saw that he was a soldier, he was defenseless, and said with a smile: "Comrade, are you from another province?" I don't think your car is local. You're right to ask me. My family has five children, and the supplies in the city are not enough to eat, so I often come to these villages to buy some fine grain, and they don't need food stamps, but they are a little more expensive. You see that my car smells of fish, and the villages near the sea can't grow food, and they often buy food, so I follow them a few times, and now I know the way well. You will follow me later, and I will bring back the fine grain this time. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng was overjoyed and shouted happily: "Comrade, this is great, I have gone out to meet a nobleman." I was going to try my luck, but luckily I met you. ”

"Hehe, you keep up with me, it's almost the end of the year, I'm not afraid of running out of food this time."

Zhou Xiaozheng hurriedly got into the car and followed behind the big truck. It didn't take long for the car to stop in a large village.

The truck driver smiled and said, "Comrade, what is your surname?" I am from the Fisheries Company of Province K, my surname is Liu, and my name is Sanyuan. I have time to look for me in the aquatic products company in K province, and everyone knows me. This village has the most land, and this time the rations will be distributed at the end of the year, so there should be no shortage of food.

Drive along this broken road for more than 30 minutes, and you will find the seaside. There was no way to grow crops there, so it was all the villages around here that helped them. The captain of this village is a shrewd man, and he secretly sells fine grain when he keeps the first amount of public grain and the coarse grain distributed to the villagers every year. The extra money was distributed to the villagers. All of them have the same surname and the same ancestor, and no one has reported it, and it is estimated that the upper authorities will turn a blind eye when they can receive public food. Come, I'll take you directly to the captain, and you tell him that rice and flour are usually 0.25 yuan, which is more expensive than the 0.15 yuan in our supply book, and cheaper than the black market. Are you buying more or less this time? If you have more, let you have less. ”

Zhou Xiao was following him into a courtyard in the village when he heard him stop talking. When he saw the door of someone's house, he whispered: "My brother's surname is Zhou, Zhou Xiaozheng, who is a soldier in other places, and is from L County in the next province." This time, I bought more, how much I ate, let's see first. ”

Liu Sanyuan smiled, "Brother, if you can't take it away, you'll find out later." After speaking, he shouted loudly: "Brother is not at home?" I'm Liu Sanyuan. ”

A lean middle-aged man came out of it, and his face was quite ruddy. When he saw Liu Sanyuan with the soldiers, he hurriedly went to the back room and whispered, "You still want to buy food this time, right?" Fortunately, I came today, and it will be gone tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. How much do you want this time? There are none. A few captains at the beach said hello in the fall, so why should I leave some for them. If there is no food in our village, it is estimated that they will not be dependent. ”

After taking a seat, Liu Sanyuan said to the other party: "Brother Liu, we are all from the same ancestor, we are all surnamed Liu, you can't bear the hunger of your nephews and nieces." You see how much rice and flour can be given at most this time? This brother next to me has made an appointment with me to come to you. You can't leave people empty-handed, can you? ”

Captain Liu lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Now there are only 1,000 catties of finished rice and flour in the warehouse, and the rest are rice and wheat, and it is estimated that it will be less than 1,000 catties at most." Dried sweet potatoes can produce 1,000 catties, and the rest has to be divided. In this way, I will keep 500 catties of finished products and the rest of the rice and wheat for them to share. There will be no more, and you two 500 catties of rice and flour will discuss it by yourself. ”

Liu Sanyuan listened and asked, "What is the price?" We bought a lot this time, and you also know that in the provincial capital, except for a few yuan of salary, everything is spent, and it is not easy for brothers, and there are five children in the family. ”

Captain Liu said with a smile: "You don't cry to me about poverty, don't buy coarse grains if you don't have money, and eat fine grains?" Last time it was 0.25 yuan, you bought 200 catties, and I didn't count you expensive. The one given to the periphery is 0.25 yuan. It's everyone's, not my own. I can't make a difference if I don't have enough, and I don't want more. ”

Liu Sanyuan looked at Zhou Xiaozheng and asked, "Brother, how much do you want?" Too much of your car can't be pulled away, let's two, how about you 300 pounds, my 200 pounds? If that's not enough, I'll take you to the next village. ”

Captain Liu hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't go, the grain from the villages next to it has already been ordered, if you drive over and see that you have already collected so much from us, you will definitely not sell it, I don't know if they still have opinions on me." The maximum amount of money that went was 100 pounds. It's a lot of trouble, can I add some to you? Or you go to them first, buy it, and then load it up. Don't you know, Yushu Village is noisy, the captain is very fierce, if you know that I will give you food first, you have to go to my house. ”

"Hehe, brother, then you can add another 300 catties, I will be 300 catties, and my brother will be 500 catties."

Captain Liu resolutely shook his head and refused, "Otherwise, you should go and buy it first and come back to load the car." If you have 200 pounds, add 100 pounds to this comrade, and leave 400 pounds for me to reply. ”

Zhou Xiaozheng and Liu Sanyuan looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and both understood that they couldn't pick it out anymore. Liu Sanyuan had no choice but to say: "Okay, that's all, you have to give us new food, we don't have to worry about it if we put it for a long time." Brother, you have to send some dried sweet potatoes, not too much, boil porridge and put some food to save food. ”

"Okay, don't you give you 20 catties of sweet potatoes every time, how much do you say is dried sweet potatoes, and how much is it to buy 100 catties. Let's go, I'll wait for you at the warehouse. You drive straight there. ”

Liu Sanyuan drove the car to lead the way, Zhou Xiaozheng was still thinking about whether to buy some dried sweet potatoes, the car slowly went to the drying field, stopped in front of the warehouse, Captain Liu took the two of them into it, and opened the rice and flour in the bag for them to check.
