Chapter Seventy-Two: Building Bridges
"Xiao Xu, who are you? These things are too precious for me to want! ”
"Uncle Qin, don't see the outside, let's set a date, I have to change my mind when I get married next month, you can take this family, it's the first time I come to the door, I have to bring some gifts, don't you?"
Qin Laosan looked at the things that Zhou Xu brought, and after thinking about it for a while, he was still a little uneasy.
"Xiao Xu, where did these things come from?"
"Uncle Qin, I have some classmates, as well as my father's comrades-in-arms, I can get some materials, but I have been transferred to the factory as a purchaser, or I will still work at this time!"
"Oh? Transferred to a new position and became a buyer? ”
"Yes, do you see that I came to your village and opened a letter of introduction?"
Zhou Xu showed Qin Laosan the letter of introduction he took from Daniel Zhang, Qin Laosan looked at it twice, didn't see anything, and returned it to Zhou Xu.
"Brother-in-law, hello buyer, I see a bicycle parked at the door? Do you still have bicycles in the factory? ”
Qin Dazhuang, who came back with Qin Laosan, also said hello to Zhou Xu, and also called his brother-in-law familiarly.
Hey, this brother-in-law can do it too.
"Well, a bike."
Qin Laosan kicked Qin Dazhuang,
"I haven't decided to marry yet, don't scream, shame."
"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, the eldest brother is right, it's not a few days."
Qin Laosan didn't say anything when he saw that Zhou Xu didn't mind, looking at the things on the table, he had the heart to accept it, but he was afraid of being looked down upon.
Zhou Xu saw Qin Laosan's hesitation, thought for a while and said to Qin Laosan: "Uncle, I really want to marry Xiaoru, this is the son-in-law's filial piety to his father-in-law, you can accept it, or can I take it back?" ”
"This ......, your family is not rich, this is too much."
"Hey, what's this stuff compared to Xiaoru? Take it, uncle! ”
Qin Laosan looked at Zhou Xu, and when he saw that what Zhou Xu said was true, he didn't refuse after thinking about it, and nodded to accept it.
Qin Jingru, who was standing next to her, heard Zhou Xu's words and felt that Zhou Xu attached great importance to herself, her heart was sweet, and a touch of blush appeared on her face.
"Boss, you will go home in a while and call your daughter-in-law to help your mother cook, and make something good at noon."
"Hey, okay, I got Daddy."
Qin Dazhuang next to him was also a little happy when he saw Qin Laosan accept the things, although he couldn't get his own home, he could also eat some with it.
Mother Qin next to her, Qin Xiaozhuang was also overjoyed.
Since he accepted the things, Qin Laosan was not polite, and asked Qin's mother to put the things away, take out some noon and make them, and pulled Zhou Xu to the side and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Zhou Xu remembered something, patted his head, reached into his satchel, and took out a pack of 1,000 yuan a pound of jasmine from the space.
"By the way, uncle, I also brought you some tea, authentic jasmine for you to taste."
So many things have been accepted, and Qin Laosan is not polite.
Asked Qin's mother to take out a cup, boil water, and talk to Zhou Xu about tea and the world.
The eldest brother, Qin Dazhuang, was also chatting with him, but after a while, he let Qin Laosan go away and went home to call his daughter-in-law to help her mother-in-law cook.
Qin Dazhuang's house is not far from Qin Laosan's family
It's the front and back yards, and after a while, a young woman with a child is led.
Qin Dazhuang's daughter-in-law is a Lisuo person, she came in to say hello, handed the child to Qin Jingru, and went to help her mother-in-law cook.
It's also past 10 a.m., and it's time to get ready to cook.
Zhou Xu looked at Qin Dazhuang and other sons, who were only two or three years old, and their little faces were white and pure, revealing red, and he could see that Qin Dazhuang's daughter-in-law was a clean person, and the children served them very well.
After thinking about it, he took out 5 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into the child's clothes pocket.
Seeing this, Qin Dazhuang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, this gift is too heavy, no one in the countryside will give 5 yuan when he sees a child, and it will be eight cents in the sky.
"Big brother, don't tear it up with me, this is what I gave to my child, what are you anxious about."
"This ......, this is too polite."
"What's polite, my future uncle, it's the first time I saw my eldest nephew, shouldn't I give a red envelope."
Qin Jingru, who was holding the child, was a little excited and a little shy when she heard Zhou Xu say that she was the child's future uncle, but her brother and father were there, and she was embarrassed to say anything.
In the end, Qin Dazhuang didn't force Zhou Xu, and Qin Laosan also spoke out to let him accept it.
Qin Laosan also saw that Zhou Xu's family was not as difficult as he thought, and the conditions were still quite good.
And Zhou Xu's performance when he came here was also to attach great importance to his girl, and he was more and more satisfied in his heart, so he was not polite to Zhou Xu.
Qin Dazhuang saw that it was postponed, but he accepted it happily, this is 5 yuan, and he is about to cover his own month's work.
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting together, although Zhou Xu was not a social cow, he was not a social fear.
At this time, Qin Laosan and Qin Dazhuang chatted, and there was no sense of superiority of the people in the city.
made everyone have a good impression of him, Qin Dazhuang also called Zhou Xu's brother-in-law, Qin Xiaozhuang also called his brother-in-law, Qin Laosan acquiesced when he saw Zhou Xu's happy response.
Qin Jingru, who was teasing her little nephew next to her, heard that the eldest brother and the younger brother had already called her brother-in-law, brother-in-law.
I was also overjoyed in my heart, coaxing my little nephew on the side, and my voice was a lot sweeter.
Qin's mother and daughter-in-law are all Shaleng people, and in just over an hour, they have a table of sumptuous dishes.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, bacon fried fungus, pork stewed vermicelli, choked with shredded potatoes.
Although this table used a little bit of what Zhou Xu brought, he also took out a lot of things that he had saved.
Although the style of the dish is small, but the portion is a lot, the two stews are packed in large pots, this is still the chicken was stewed at Qin Dazhuang's house, or there is a big pot at home, but it can't be cooked so quickly.
Qin Laosan sent the third brother to call his eldest brother, and he went to call the captain.
In rural areas, guests at home usually call for a few escorts.
It can be regarded as introducing his uncle to the people in the village.
"Yo, third, what's the matter?"
"Hehe, captain, most of this was brought by Zhou Xu, and my family can't hold this table of good dishes."
"Hello, comrade, I heard the third child say that you are a buyer in the rolling mill?"
Zhou Xu saw that the captain came in and was so polite to him, and he also had some guesses in his heart, this is Qin Laosan who wants to help his uncle build a bridge?
"Hello, captain, I am indeed a purchaser of the rolling mill, mainly responsible for unplanned material procurement, you see."
Saying that, he handed him his letter of introduction, and then Zhou Xu said straight to the point: "Mountain goods, wild things, chickens, ducks, fish, eggs, duck eggs, etc., can be exchanged for money, grain, soybean oil, pork." ”
"Oh? Is it okay to exchange food? And soybean oil? ”
The captain looked at Zhou Xu's letter of introduction, and was a little surprised to hear that it could also be exchanged for grain and soybean oil, and it was okay to say that the people in the village were reluctant to eat it, but grain and soybean oil were necessary materials.
"Hmm!"
"This ...... What about the price? ”
"In this way, I am married to Xiaoru, and I am half of Qinjiazhuang, and the price is ...... My purchase price in our village is 20% higher than that of the purchase station, but don't tell me about it."
The captain was a little excited when he heard this, grabbed Zhou Xu's hand, and asked excitedly, "Really?" ”
"Really, but you also have to exchange my grain and oil at black market prices, after all, you don't have food stamps, do you? Moreover, if there is anyone in the village to be replaced, I will not come forward, so I will have to trouble the captain to count it. ”
"I understand, I understand!"
The captain has no objections, and the purchase price is two achievements higher than the acquisition station, which is very cheap.
In the past, buyers from various units have come to the village, but the price is not so high, sometimes it is not as good as the purchase price of the purchasing station, and they are all given money, Zhou Xu can be two percent higher, and he can also exchange grain for soybean oil, and he also uses his own statistics, which is also a means for him to enhance his prestige.
