Chapter 376: Urgent
After going to the bazaar, Gu Siwei found that the villagers who came out to sell things today did not have any serious intentions in their hands, either radish or Chinese cabbage, or fish from the river, and the most were all kinds of pickled vegetables made by themselves, and the only few green goods were green onions, garlic or something, and the quantity was not much.
Seeing this scene, Gu Siwei missed the greenhouse a little much, and missed the life after decades when he could eat all kinds of vegetables in winter.
"Sell leeks!"
Gu Siwei was about to leave, when he suddenly heard someone shouting.
As soon as he heard that there were leeks, Gu Siwei was immediately attracted to the past, walked over to take a look, and sure enough, he found that there was a bundle of leeks in front of this middle-aged man.
The leeks are still fresh, very fresh and tender, the leeks are very clean and there is no soil at all, not to mention the soil, there are not even a little water beads, dry and refreshing.
"How do you sell leeks?"
Gu Siwei immediately squatted down, reached out and took a leek and tried it.
"Nine cents a catty, if you want them all, give three pieces of these leeks," the middle-aged man said.
As soon as Gu Siwei heard the three yuan, Gu Siwei, who had been smoked by the price of the Hong Kong market and didn't know the price here, immediately said: "Give it all to me."
As he spoke, he had to take money out of his pocket.
Si Cui came over at this time to stop his brother from being stupid: "Brother, what kind of food is more expensive than Nei?" These days, pork is only eight cents a catty, and leeks cost nine cents? ”
The middle-aged man was about to clean up, and when he heard Sicui, the little girl, say this, he explained: "Little girl, there are more meat in the market, there are tickets, where can I find fresh leeks at this time?" Don't say it's nine cents a catty, if it's in the county seat, my leeks will sell for at least one yuan a catty, three yuan, you look at these, at least three catties seven or eight taels."
Gu Siwei saw that the middle-aged man stopped, and immediately raised his head and motioned for him to continue to pack the leeks for himself, and at the same time said to his sister-in-law: "It's more expensive, I'll take it back and wrap a leek dumpling for your sister-in-law." Besides, it's not easy to grow leeks now, and I don't know if it's grown near a hot spring in the mountains."
Hearing Gu Siwei say this, the middle-aged man who was about to clean up the leeks for Gu Siwei couldn't help but be stunned, and said embarrassedly to Gu Siwei: "This young man is really good at laughing!" ”
Gu Siwei glanced at the middle-aged man, and knew that he might be able to tell the middle-aged man's secret.
At this time, how many people in the countryside know how to grow out-of-season vegetables at this time, although it seems that there is such a thing as a greenhouse in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but how can ordinary people pay such a big price for a mouthful of green vegetables in winter. So, at least the mountain people here don't know that they can grow out-of-season vegetables near the hot springs.
And this kind of hot springs are almost all in the old forest, and it is not easy to grow things in this place, otherwise how would Gu Siwei feel that nine cents a pound is cheap.
Seeing that Gu Siwei smiled and didn't say anything anymore, when the middle-aged man received the money here, he only accepted Gu Siwei's two yuan and eight, and asked Gu Siwei for two cents, which can be regarded as Gu Siwei's gratitude for not continuing to promote his little secret.
Taking the leek, Gu Siwei returned to Hu Yanqiu's side and showed off at his daughter-in-law.
Hu Yanqiu knows her husband's character, and the family is not short of money anyway, so she didn't say anything about Gu Siwei spending three yuan to buy leeks.
When he arrived on the road, Hu Yanqiu got off the sleigh and went to the factory with Sicui and Hu Yanping, while Gu Siwei drove the sleigh to the empty yard that Xu Congwen had introduced before.
After walking for about five or six minutes, and finding a place where no one was around, Gu Siwei took the big green mule and the sleigh into the space, turned around and trotted straight after his daughter-in-law.
If you want to catch up with your daughter-in-law, it is best to take a shortcut at this time.
Gu Siwei turned into the alley, ready to intercept his daughter-in-law from the front.
Who knows that while walking, he found that there was originally an open space in front of him, and there were actually several troop cars parked on it, if it was an ordinary troop car, Gu Siwei would walk away after two glances at most, he had nothing to do to do in the army, and even if Gu Siwei wanted to stir up, the troops would be happy.
Just as Gu Siwei was about to take a detour, a voice stopped him.
"Gu Siwei!"
As soon as Gu Siwei heard it, he knew that it was his cheap apprentice, that is, Qiao Yitong's old son Qiao Qisheng.
Stopping, Gu Siwei asked Qiao Qisheng who came over, "Why is you here?" ”
Coming with Qiao Qisheng, there was also a soldier in his forties, dressed in a green military uniform, walking steadily, and he knew at a glance that he was not a small officer.
"I still want to ask you, why are you here, oh yes, I forgot to ask you something, is there any way for you to get into the mountain now?"
Qiao Qisheng saw Gu Siwei and opened his mouth directly.
Gu Siwei said: "Entering the mountain, isn't it easy, I just came back from the mountain, why do you ask this question?" ”
Gu Siwei told others here that this trip was all going into the mountains to dig mountain goods, so he couldn't change his words when he faced Qiao Qisheng, and besides, Qiao Yi and this kid are now mixed with Zhao Fangming, but if the two meet, if they don't say it consistently, it will be easy to goof.
Syllable!
Qiao Qisheng slapped his thigh: "Why did I forget you."
Gu Siwei was a little stunned, and just wanted to open his mouth to ask, he saw Qiao Qisheng smiling at the officer next to him and said: "Lao Di, let me introduce, this is my son Yitong's master, surnamed Gu, the name Siwei, this is an old hunter, and he provides a lot of game in the canteen of the factory over there, at this time, if he finds someone to enter the mountain, he can really be counted as the number one person ......."
Hearing Qiao Qisheng's praise to himself, Gu Siwei knew that this matter was a little troublesome.
Sure enough, hearing Qiao Qisheng introduce Gu Siwei like this, the middle-aged officer suddenly shook Gu Siwei's hand: "That's really good!" ”
Not only did he hold it, but he shook it vigorously.
In an instant, Gu Siwei felt the power in the hands of this middle-aged officer.
"What's going on?"
Gu Siwei looked at Qiao Qisheng with a puzzled expression and asked.
Qiao Qisheng just wanted to speak, but the middle-aged officer said anxiously: "We are now preparing to find someone who can enter the mountain, go in and send some supplies to the radar station in the mountain."
Gu Siwei of the radar station knew about it, so he asked Qiao Qisheng, "...... that friend of yours."
"yes, do you remember him? Li Zhengda, by the way, he is now in the radar station, and there are more than 100 officers and soldiers besides him, who have been trapped in the mountains for almost half a month now, so there is an urgent need for someone to send supplies."
As soon as Qiao Qisheng heard that Gu Siwei remembered Li Zhengda, he immediately opened his mouth to talk about the situation at the radar station.
"You haven't thought about the situation now?"
Gu Siwei was a little confused, and said in his heart: You built a radar station in the mountains, and you didn't think about the day when the heavy snow closed the mountains and couldn't transport supplies? I don't believe it!
The middle-aged officer said: "We thought about it, but our thoughts didn't change quickly, we really didn't expect the weather to be so abnormal this year, the snow in the mountains is half a month smaller, and the mountain road we originally opened out has been sealed these days because of the heavy snow, so the supplies that could have gone up can't go up."
A simple explanation is almost equivalent to no explanation for Gu Siwei.
It is impossible for a middle-aged officer to tell Gu Siwei that we are rushing to build a radar station, so these problems have not been considered in a big way.
Don't talk about them, Qiao Qisheng, who has lived here for so many years, didn't know that the snow in the mountains would be so heavy this year, and he didn't expect it to be a thing, how can you make people think about it, and the gods can think of it.
"Can you go into the mountains?" Qiao Qisheng asked about the location of the radar station.
When Gu Siwei heard that so many soldiers were trapped, he was naturally willing, and in Gu Siwei's heart, whether it was decades later or now, these soldiers were the most lovely people.
But it's not good for him to go away directly, his daughter-in-law is pregnant, and he runs away to the mountains as soon as he leaves, which is a bit unusual.
Seeing Gu Siwei's embarrassed face, Qiao Qisheng asked, "Can you go up, if it's too dangerous, you can say something."
"It's okay to go up, and it's no problem to bring something, not to mention more, you can still bring two or three hundred pounds of things," Gu Siwei said confidently.
Qiao Qisheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's really good."
The middle-aged officer next to him also showed a surprised expression, he really didn't expect that the young man in front of him didn't hesitate at all, and directly opened his mouth and said that he could go up.
"That's ......".
"But I can't leave now," Gu Siwei said.
Qiao Qisheng listened to it and said directly: "When is it now?!" ”。
"My daughter-in-law is pregnant," Gu Siwei said.
Qiao Qisheng was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't think much of it in his head, and opened his mouth to ask, "Which daughter-in-law are you?" ”
“……”
Gu Siwei was speechless for a while, and replied to him angrily: "Marrying two daughters-in-law is going to be shot now!" ”
Qiao Qisheng said: "I didn't mean that, you mean that Yanqiu's girl is pregnant?" ”
Gu Siwei said: "Well, but she's not sure, she has to go to the hospital for a check-up."
"It's not that ...... That's a good thing," Qiao Qisheng said happily: "That's congratulations!" ”
"Rejoice, rejoice!" Gu Siwei replied with a smile.
The middle-aged officer was a little anxious: "Get down to business!" ”
"Oh, if you can really be sure to enter the mountains, you have to help, because the soldiers over there don't really have much to offer, and maybe they have been cut off now, they don't have much experience in the mountains and forests, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to find food in the mountains, we urgently need someone now, even if it is to send dozens of catties of compressed biscuits, it is good" Qiao Qisheng said.
"Is it so serious?" Gu Siwei asked.
"It may be more serious than that," Mr. Qiao said.
These soldiers, including Li Zhengda, no one has the experience of living in the mountains and forests in winter, and some time ago, all the materials transported were some materials for building the station, and there was not much supply at all.
"In this case, you transport the things to our village, no, to the second side of the crutches, which is close. I'll talk to my daughter-in-law here, and then go home to prepare, and we'll meet there, and the quality control of the things shipped is three hundred...... Fifty catties, three hundred and fifty catties, I'll send it to you," Gu Siwei said.
"Can you do it? Three hundred and fifty pounds of things, how can you carry them, you can't walk a mule over there......" Qiao Qisheng said.
Gu Siwei said: "Me? How can I have the ability to carry more than 300 catties of things into the mountains, have you forgotten, our family lives in Damao? ”
