Chapter 140 How to Preserve Tomatoes in a Special Era
In Tang Wei's view, Yang Zhenti Guoguang Cotton Spinning Factory was purely because of personal relations and kindly provided news materials for Lu Dongping.
But Lu Dongping obviously can't be so simple.
For this reason, Lu Dongping also made a special trip to find an opportunity to secretly meet Yang Zhen in the fish stall and ask Yang Zhen if he had other purposes.
For Lu Dongping, Yang Zhen is not shy about it.
said that although the purpose was there, he didn't need Lu Dongping to do anything deliberately for him.
What Lu Dongping has to do is to report according to his ideas.
The only thing to pay attention to is the timing of the report!
"Don't worry about this, Section Chief Yang!"
While Lu Dongping nodded, he was a little speechless and stopped.
"They're all friends!"
"You don't need to feel that if you make a request at this time, you are making a deal with me just because I have a request!"
Yang Zhen, who saw Lu Dongping's thoughts, smiled when he saw this, and then said, "You want to ask Sister Tang about the change, right?"
Lu Dongping said proudly: "Your Director Wang called me, so Tang Wei has only been a temporary worker for a long time, and he has no education, so the person who helped to apply for the regularization said that it was not in accordance with the rules......
"I heard Tang Wei say that Section Chief Yang is very close to Zou Ju, so ......
"I did say something over there!"
"If you want me to speak, I don't dare to say that Zou Ju nodded 100%, but at least there is a 90% chance!"
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen didn't continue, but just asked Lu Dongping rhetorically: "I know Sister Tang so well, but I didn't help her speak in this matter-do you want to know why?"
Lu Dongping pushed his glasses and said, "Could it be that Section Chief Yang is trying to say that in addition to becoming a regular, you have a better arrangement for Tang Wei?"
"It's easy to talk to smart people!"
Yang Zhen laughed when he heard this, and then said, "Sister Tang told you about the renovation of Jiuchang Street, right?"
"With Sister Tang's personality and education level, even if she becomes a regular, it is estimated that she can only do some work of serving tea and water!"
"So instead of letting her turn positive, it's better to let her come out and be her own boss and do some business by herself!"
"Once the renovation of Jiuchang Street is successful, there should be a lot of shops around, and if nothing else, I should have the opportunity to buy a few......
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen paused slightly before saying, "When the time comes, I will send one to you and Sister Tang!"
Hearing this word, Lu Dongping, who was drinking tea, choked on a mouthful of tea and squirted out directly from his nostrils.
After all, as a writer who keeps an eye on current affairs, how could he not know that with the blossoming of various commissaries and grocery stores in recent months, and business has been doing well......
Not to mention the shop, it is any house facing the street, and the rent is rising.
But where the surrounding areas are a little more lively, the rent is often from twenty or thirty yuan a month!
According to Lu Dongping's estimate, if the old factory street vegetable market is built as the center.
The rent of the shop is seventy or eighty, or even more than 100 yuan a month, it is not impossible.
Even the rent is so terrifying, let alone the price of the shop.
Anyway, according to Lu Dongping's estimate, even if Yang Zhen buys as an insider, there must be various discounts, but if you want to win a shop, I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible to have one or two thousand.
I thought that Yang Zhen meant to wait for him to buy a shop and rent one to Tang Wei cheaper.
Unexpectedly, Yang Zhen actually said directly that he would send ......
As the main writer, his current monthly salary is only more than 70 yuan.
Even with the occasional polishing and the like, that's no more than a hundred.
But tens of thousands of dollars of a shop, Yang Zhen actually said that he would send it......
How could Lu Dongping not be surprised?
Coughing violently, Lu Dongping, who had finally stabilized his mind, hurriedly waved his hand, saying that if Yang Zhen was willing to give up a shop and rent it to Tang Wei cheaply, then he would be grateful.
But if you send it, he is real
Don't dare to accept it.
After all, there is no merit and no merit.
There is no such thing as horizontal and vertical characters.
So Yang Zhen didn't bother to entangle with Lu Dongping, you don't want me to give you something like that, he just said that everyone is friends, and the days to come are still long......
Seeing Lu Dongping leave, Shen Qiang, who had finished selling the fish, came over and said while drying his hands: "It seems that Brother Zhen, you seem to take a special fancy to this Mr. Lu?"
"The right to speak is important!"
"Of course, in addition to the influence he may cause, I really regard him and Tang Wei as friends!"
Yang Zhen smiled when he heard this, and then said with some pride: "An An took the first grade, although Lan Lan's grades were slightly worse, but she was also the first in the class, and the top few in the grade—what about you, how did your younger brothers and sisters do in the exam?"
Every day in front of Yang Zhen, Shen Qiang is very low-key.
But as soon as Shen Sheng and Shen Lan were mentioned, Shen Qiang immediately became proud, and said in a loud voice: "Although your younger siblings' grades are also very good, they are still inferior to our family's Ah Sheng Xiaolan - both of them are the first in their grades, and they both have perfect marks in several subjects!"
Hearing this, Yang Zhen's mood was even more uncomfortable than earning tens of thousands of yuan less.
Knowing that Yang Zhen didn't show off his younger siblings, Shen Qiang quickly diverted the topic and said some good news to Yang Zhen, saying that with more and more news of opening up, more and more foreign friends are now entering the country.
The foreign exchange business is now more hot than ever.
In the past two months alone, the exchange volume of each month has exceeded 400,000 dollars, and it should not be a problem to break through to 500,000 dollars before the end of the year.
The current price of Daole is two sevens.
But the price on the black market can break eight at will.
Looking at it, although there are more than five yuan of profit.
But in the end, Chu Bai in the middle, Tan Long and Tan Hu all have taps, and there are so many changes in the middle.
So what really fell into Yang Zhen's hands was almost a knife or so of a piece.
However, in the end, the exchange volume of 500,000 a month.
So even if there is only one piece of a knife, just in the exchange of foreign currency, Yang Zhen can earn nearly 500,000 yuan a month.
However, Yang Zhen, who heard the news, was not very happy.
The reason for his displeasure is not only because his family has stuffed more than six million bills, but even he is a little numb when he has more money.
It is more because although the exchange of foreign exchange is becoming more and more profitable, his antique trading has now begun to show a declining posture......
There are no problems with the supply of goods.
After all, despite his frenzied reselling, the antiquities store has revised the rules to determine that antiques can only be purchased in foreign currency.
But he has no shortage of foreign exchange in his hands, so whenever the cultural relics store is new, he can still do it all.
And in addition to the antiques of the antique shop.
Because of the addition of Feng Shijian and others, it is now even an antique on the black market.
As long as it is genuine, he has almost collected everything.
There is no problem with the source of goods, and there is no news that Chu Bai has seen through any fake antiques.
It is unlikely that the demand for antiques in the external market will become saturated so quickly......
In this case, there is only one possibility.
That is, in addition to him, there may also be others involved in the transaction of buying and selling antiques with foreigners!
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen said, "It's been half a month since this investigation, haven't they found out who is involved in our antique business?"
"I haven't found it yet!"
Shen Qiang helped analyze while smiling bitterly, saying that Tan Long and Tan Hu didn't find the news, but it was okay to say.
After all, they are using the relationship of the Tao.
But Chu Bai also said that there was no news......
"Do you doubt Translator Chu?" Yang Zhen asked.
"I'm just guessing!"
"But I don't dare to guarantee the specifics
Proof!"
Although Shen Qiang said modestly, he did not forget to say the reason why he had such doubts.
After all, in his opinion, although he and others gave Chu Bai a lot of commissions in terms of antiques.
But in the end, the vast majority of the things of myself and others are fakes.
If Chu Bai wanted to buy the real thing, then he would definitely not go through the channels of himself and others.
Yang Zhen didn't speak, just glanced at the accounts related to the antique transaction.
And then he soon found out about it.
That is, although due to the number of domestic and foreign businessmen from each country, the number of antiques traded by foreigners from each country varies from country to month every month.
But there is a general range.
By contrast, the number of antiques transactions between countries and him has almost always shown a steady increase.
Only the increase in the amount of antiques traded with the Meili tip side is simply minimal, and there is even a downward trend!
"It's really Chu Bai, this guy is messing around!"
Thinking of this, Yang Zhen couldn't help but glance at Shen Qiang more, and said in his heart that he couldn't find the problem he hadn't found, and he could actually find it......
This guy.
is worthy of being born to be a big guy!
Noticing Yang Zhen's face, he guessed that Yang Zhen should agree with his judgment.
Shen Qiang said in a low voice: "Whether it is foreign exchange trading or antique trading, Chu Translation is indispensable to us, so even if we know that he is playing tricks, we are afraid that we will not be able to easily turn against him for the time being—unless we can find someone who can replace him!"
"Those Chinese who came to China!"
"Either you're above the top, or you're sneaky!"
"These people either don't have the courage at all, or they're afraid that they will be even more ruthless than Chu Bai!"
Thinking of these, Yang Zhenxin said that if he wanted to find a person among these people who could replace Chu Bai's position, I was afraid that it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky!
"What then?"
Shen Qiang said, "You can't let him ride on our necks to and pee while relying on the lot of money we earn, right?"
Yang Zhen didn't speak, but after thinking for a long time, he said, "Last time, Okamoto named and asked Tan Long and them to help dig up the tomb of the mourning queen, do you remember?"
"Do you remember this?"
Shen Qiang was speechless when he heard this, and said in his heart that although he and the others used the mourning tomb as an excuse, they faked several tomb robbery scenes, buried some newly created things in them, and ruthlessly pitted Okamoto.
But Okamoto seems to have a great obsession with the mourning tomb.
Therefore, although these newly created things were deliberately added according to Okamoto's preferences, many things from the Tang Dynasty were added.
But this guy proposed to Xin You and others in front of Xin You and others as soon as he had the opportunity, and recently there was a vague threat that if they didn't help, they didn't plan to cooperate with Xin You in the future.
Saying this, Shen Qiang looked at Yang Zhen with a puzzled expression.
Obviously, he didn't understand why Yang Zhen was talking about Chu Bai so well, but as soon as he turned his head, he talked about Xiaori Okamoto.
"Isn't it that we can't find out who Chu Bai got involved in our antique trade through whom?"
Yang Zhen sighed, and then said, "Since we can't find out, then let's find a way to fish him out!"
Shen Qiang was excited when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Yang Zhen what he should do in order to transfer that person out.
"You go back and tell Tan Long and ask Feng Shijian to find Okamoto......
Just as Yang Zhen was talking about these preparations and explaining them in detail, Shen Sheng and Shen Lan came in.
"Brother Zhen is good!"
Shen Sheng greeted with a smile, while Shen Lan looked shy, took out a handful of candy from his pocket and held it in front of Yang Zhen and said, "Brother Zhen eats sugar, White Rabbit toffee, I just bought it!"
Yang Zhen snorted, rubbed Shen Lan's head and smiled at Shen Qiang: "I remember when I first saw Xiaolan, this girl was an ugly girl, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, Xiaolan actually became beautiful all of a sudden......
sink
Sheng Wenyan stuck out his tongue on the side, saying that he really didn't see where Shen Lan was beautiful.
However, Shen Qiang was a little unhappy, saying that Shen Lan has always been beautiful and has never been ugly.
Knowing Shen Qiang's character of protecting calves, Yang Zhen was not as knowledgeable as him, so after teasing Shen Sheng and Shen Lan a few words, Yang Zhen rode home to prepare for dinner.
"Brother Zhen, you ride slowly!"
"There's snow and slippery roads!"
waved at Yang Zhen from afar, until Yang Zhen's back disappeared.
Shen Lan turned around and looked at Shen Qiang with a twisted expression and said, "Brother, can you give me two yuan?"
"It's in the drawer, you take it yourself!"
Shen Qiang said and said curiously: "You don't usually give you pocket money, why do you want pocket money today?"
Shen Lan didn't answer, just went out with the money and went straight to the commissary to buy a small mirror, and then hid in a place where no one was taking a photo vigorously, and was silly while taking pictures.
Miscellaneous courtyard.
Ren Yuhua is cooking.
Seeing Yang Zhen come back, Ren Yuhua asked Yang Zhen to hurry up and bring over the dishes brought back from the cadre Xiaozao, she was so hot and ready to eat.
Yang Zhen hummed, parked the bicycle and carried the lunch box over.
As soon as he saw the pile of Chinese cabbage cut, Yang Zhen was a little speechless: "Why are you eating cabbage again today?"
"It's a cold day now!"
"Except for the turnip, it's the cabbage!"
"You don't like radishes when you eat radishes yesterday, and you hate cabbage when you eat cabbage today!"
"If you don't like it, you can eat more of the meat and fish you brought back!"
"No one is begging you to eat this cabbage and turnip!"
When Ren Yuhua heard this, he wondered if Yang Zhen really felt that he felt that he was great after being a cadre for a few days, and whether he had forgotten the days when he couldn't even eat Chinese cabbage.
"Mom, where are you going, I didn't mean that!"
Yang Zhen hurriedly begged for mercy, saying that he didn't actually dislike cabbage and radish, but he was really tired of eating it every day.
"Don't we still have a few bottles of tomatoes at home?"
Yang Zhen said, "Actually, I don't want to eat anything good, I just want to eat some scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"
When Ren Yuhua heard this, she didn't give Yang Zhen, a promising son, face, at all, saying that there were only a few bottles of tomatoes left at home, and she planned to keep them in case there were any rare guests to entertain guests, or to eat during the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Now I want to eat, but there is no door.
Let Yang Zhen get out of here.
Seeing Yang Zhen coming in, Yang An was straight and asked Yang Zhen if he knew why Yang Lanlan hadn't come back here today.
Yang Zhen noticed that Yang Lanlan was not there, and hurriedly asked why.
"I'll go out in the afternoon!"
"My little sister is home alone, and she secretly ate a bottle of tomatoes by herself!"
"If you hadn't run fast, you wouldn't have been beaten!"
"As a result, when you came back, you yelled for tomatoes......
Yang An smiled: "Mom didn't beat her into a little girl, she didn't scold you when she hit the muzzle, who did you scold?"
"Co-authored, I have suffered for my little sister?"
Yang Zhen was speechless, looked at the sky, and thought of the rampant human traffickers in these years......
Yang Zhen, who was a little worried, got up and prepared to go out to look for it.
"She's hiding from Grandma Wu's house!"
"I see it!"
While reassuring Yang Zhen, Yang An swore that he would definitely find more salt water bottles next year......
When the tomatoes are on the market, make more tomato sauce and put them away.
When the time comes, you can eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes when you want to eat them in winter, and you can drink tomato egg soup when you want.
Thinking about the current way to make tomato sauce in a salt water bottle and eating it in winter, although it can preserve tomatoes, it feels a little unhygienic.
Yang Zhen said while reminiscing about the time when he remembered that even winter was full of out-of-season vegetables
By next year, we won't have to use a salt water bottle to make tomato sauce......
When the time comes, I will get two more refrigerators and come back.
When the tomatoes are on the market, freeze them in the refrigerator.
There is no need to make tomato sauce this year, not to mention, it is fresh and clean to eat.
When Yang Zhen and Yang An were making various calculations in order to be able to eat a meal of scrambled eggs with tomatoes in this winter when supplies were scarce, Feng Shijian was placing a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the table.
Although because the only way to save tomatoes for winter and eat them is to chop and boil tomatoes into a paste and pour them into a brine bottle, just like Yang Zhenjia......
Then steam through the pot and put the lid in a cool place.
Therefore, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes look particularly ugly.
But in this winter, when almost all kinds of dried vegetables except radish and Chinese cabbage are all kinds of vegetables, this plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is still a rare delicacy.
is also for this reason, even Tan Hu, who is accustomed to eating big fish and meat every day, couldn't bear to refuse Feng Shijian's two scrambled eggs in the face of this plate of scrambled eggs, and he was even willing to give up after the soup on the plate was mixed with rice and cleaned......
Although I finally ate a scrambled egg with tomatoes, I didn't eat a bite.
But thinking that the guy in front of him is now the big benefactor of his own family, Feng Shijian's wife was not angry, but apologized, saying that the tomato sauce she made at home was gone.
Otherwise, you must fry another plate and let Tan Hu have a good time.
Feng Shijian's wife had no opinion, thinking that Tan Hu's cutting off people's heads was like cutting watermelon, Feng Shijian naturally didn't dare to have any opinion on Tang Hu because of a plate of tomato scrambled eggs.
Therefore, it was not until he saw that Tan Hu was full of wine and food that Feng Shijian cautiously asked Tan Hu if he had anything to explain when he came over today.
"I'll give you the balance of the antiques you helped collect last time!"
While throwing a stack of banknotes to Feng Shijian, Tan Hu said: "You go to find Okamoto tomorrow and talk about the mourning tomb, it's not that we don't want to do it, it's really that we mainly do the chute, and we are not good at that kind of point-and-touch gold......
"If that's the case......
Feng Shijian said with a reluctant face: "Then in the future, we will have this deal with Xiaori, I'm afraid it will really be broken!"
"Listen to me!"
Tan Hu smiled, and then lowered his voice and said, "While telling Okamoto the news, you must remember to hint at him, just say that although we can't do this, there should be someone who knows the ability to do this job!"
