Chapter 3: Visiting Old Superiors
The situation is grim, and this year is also the most serious year, even the food stamps have risen to sky-high prices, and the local food stamps have risen to one piece, and the national food stamps are directly 1.5 yuan.
The meat ticket is even more exaggerated, two yuan a piece, you look at it yourself, that is, go to the butcher shop of the supply and marketing cooperative, and add four cents and five, but sorry, the butcher shop is out of stock, only some canned food is sold, and pork needs to look at luck.
Xiao Yuan knows that this price is not the most expensive, you just look at it after two months, after entering Laba, this price must be doubled.
I bought 200 catties of local food stamps, 100 catties of national grain stamps, 50 catties of meat stamps, and some cloth stamps, tobacco and alcohol stamps, spices, industrial coupons and the like.
It cost Xiao Yuan more than 200 yuan at once, and now he still has 470 yuan, which is not enough to pay people's wages, not to buy a bicycle earlier, and he must come to earn money in the early morning of tomorrow.
I went to a grain store and bought twenty sacks and twenty noodle bags for two cents each, but he couldn't take them away if there were too many.
It's not a way to stay on his legs all day, Xiao Yuan has actually thought about this problem for a long time, and the most suitable thing for him at the moment is actually a motorcycle tricycle, and he knows that the troops are idle a lot.
It is the motorcycle tricycle used by the devil development group, of course, what he wants is the later improved model, which is similar to the motorcycle tricycle of later generations, except that the rear compartment is too square.
The power is strong, the BMW 1250CC engine used, as long as you take it back and transform it, it is extremely suitable for Xiao Yuan, but it is a lot of loading, and it is flexible and fast, the power is strong, and it is easy to climb mountains.
It seems that I am going to visit the old leader, the old comrade-in-arms, I heard that I have served as the deputy minister of logistics of the Air Force, it seems that the classic leather jacket of their unit last year is good, waiting for me, the old leader, I must settle you tonight!
At noon, he ate a little bit casually, bought some fishing equipment, and took the bus to Chaoyang, where he was going to get two big fish as gifts.
Visiting the old leader, how can he do it without meat, not only does he want to eat it at home, but Xiao Yuan himself also wants to eat it!
Don't you say, it's so remote now, there are still one or two fishermen, aren't you cold or hungry?
Seeing that the old man who was also fifty or sixty years old, Xiao Yuan walked over to say hello, and secretly sensed the catch, which was okay, each person had three or four catties of harvest, and the size was different.
Xiao Yuan hid far away, set up a stall and started his fishing career, with the bait blended by the space spring water, it was very fast to catch fish, but his purpose was more than that.
After waiting for an hour, no one really paid attention to him, one old man had closed his stall and left, and the other seemed to be about to close the rod, probably feeling hungry.
Xiao Yuan squatted at the water's edge, put his hand into the water, and with a move of his mind, he secretly released a little space spring water, this is his purpose, trapping the fish in the lake, he collects all the sizes, and when he gets to the space, it is his world, and he will return the small strips back to the lake later.
This trick is still learned from the predecessors of the crossing, and now this guy is in the wind and water in Jingnan, right? Everything is about tons, it's so ruthless! After two years, he was forced to run away to Xiangjiang, but this guy played a lot.
Two tender corns were made in the space, and the corn kernels were thrown directly into the lake, and in about ten minutes, more big fish appeared.
Big herring, more than a dozen catties, more than a dozen catties of big carp, more than ten catties of big grass carp, big silver carp, more than 20 catties, densely packed with big fish, there is even a big king who is not small!
Xiao Yuan's mind is aimed at this water, receive! He already knew that his collection range was a circle with a radius of ten meters, and if it was too far, it would not work.
Suddenly, a large area of whirlpool appeared on the surface of the lake, and all the dense big fish on the surface of the water just now disappeared, along with the lake!
Operation error, fortunately it was not directly put into the space freshwater lake, so it was suspended in the space, and a distinction was made directly, and those below one catty, except for crucian carp, were all put back.
The whirlpool on the surface of the lake was quickly covered by other water, as if there was nothing on the surface of the water, but just now so much lake water, wrapped in hundreds of catties of fish, disappeared.
Today's harvest is quite big, Xiao Yuan walked forward again, to another corner of no one, there is a repetition of the old tricks, after all, he also wants to sell some pigeon market tomorrow, back the funds!
You must know that the South Lake and the North Lake are connected, and they have not yet been developed, and the area is very large, with more than 300 acres of water area in the South Lake alone, and more than 60 hectares in the entire water area.
He was busy until four o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiao Yuan, who was full of harvest, closed the stall and left, and now there was no one, so he simply put everything into the space and went to Dongdan on the bus.
When he arrived at a compound next to Dongdan Market, it was already close to five o'clock, Xiao Yuan came out of the courtyard with a sack and walked to the doorman.
"Hello comrade, I'm looking for Zhao Zongqing, I'm his old subordinate Xiao Yuan, this is my ID, please inform me." Xiao Yuan returned a military salute and had already changed into a military uniform in the park.
"Okay squad leader, please wait a moment, I'll ask Vice Minister Zhao immediately!" The sentry knew at a glance that this was a veteran who had been discharged from the army or changed careers, but it was strange to carry a hemp bag.
It didn't take ten minutes for a colonel wearing a 55-style school uniform to come over, a middle-aged man with a black face.
"Xiao Yuan, how did you kid know that I was here? What are you doing here, rabbit cub, have you changed jobs? Zhao Zongqing's mouth was full of green onions, this is a Qilu man.
"Report chief, Xiao Yuan, the former commander of the special service company of the 39th Army, reports to you!" Xiao Yuan saluted a standard salute.
"Okay, you and I are no longer in the old army, you went to be a guard staff officer for Chief Yi in the Northern Dynasty, and now you are the number one here, why did you change jobs?" Zhao Zongqing returned a military salute and grabbed Xiao Yuan and asked him.
"When I was training in the spring of this year, my old injury recurred, I had an open abdominal surgery, I felt like I wanted to go back to the place, the chief agreed, and I also heard the chief say that you are here." Xiao Yuan took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhao Zongqing.
"The main battalion or the deputy regiment, are you kid married?" Zhao Zongqing took the cigarette and asked a few words of concern by the way.
"The main battalion, it wasn't an injury, but at this time it was already a deputy regiment, it's all about the same! Got married, you don't know that I stayed in the Northern Dynasty for seven years? I didn't have a chance to come back with the chief, and my aunt introduced a doctor, but as soon as I got sick, people cleared my disabled body, and I didn't do anything about it. Xiao Yuan spit out a smoke ring, this is really depressing.
"You kid, I think you're recovering well, you're a talent, and you're still worried about having no daughter-in-law? Let your sister-in-law introduce you to the girls from their unit to you, let's go home and drink! Zhao Zongqing glared at this guy, he looks so good and has a fart!
"Forget it, the gap between our big boss and other people's cultural level is too big, and it's not uncomfortable enough. I am now transferred to the Red Star Rolling Mill, a large factory with more than 10,000 people, and I am afraid that there are no girls? Let's go and drink at your house! Xiao Yuan carried the sack to his shoulder with one hand.
"What are you carrying, do you want me to carry it for you?" Zhao Zongqing looked at him curiously, it can't be luggage, and it is impossible to use a sack for a backpack?
"No, no, it's very light, you just lead the way in front, is my sister-in-law off work? You're not going to let me cook for you, are you? Xiao Yuan changed the topic, it is not good for people to see here.
"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is at home off work today, and she talks as if I can't cook." Zhao Zongqing led the way in front and led him into the compound and walked inside.
"Don't mention that you can cook, four dishes and three cold salads, and one hot dish is fried paste, okay, I won't eat pancakes and green onions today!" Xiao Yuan was very familiar with him, he was the company commander under him, and Zhao Zongqing was the director of logistics management at that time.
"Don't keep mentioning whether it was good back then, you kid is a psychotic vegetable wine, what kind of dishes do you choose when you have wine to drink!" Zhao Zongqing muttered.
"Does good wine go well with good food? Like you, peanuts, pickles are half a catty, and I would rather drink tea. "Xiao Yuan was like this in his two lives, he didn't drink alone, he didn't drink when he didn't have food.
"Fuck off!" Zhao Zongqing kicked over, this stinky boy always exposes his shortcomings.
"Alright, lead the way, lead the way." Xiao Yuan avoided it and said that he would not say anything.
