"Okay, then let's go to the Chengxi Supply and Marketing Branch!" said the driver.

It seems that the driver has been pulling grain for the factory, and as soon as he heard that Fang Yuan asked him to find a relatively large supply and marketing cooperative, he thought of where to go.

"Yes. ”

The system of supply and marketing cooperatives in the imperial capital is the head office, branches, large supply and marketing cooperatives on each street, and finally small supply and marketing cooperatives in each neighborhood committee.

In fact, it is similar to the wholesale of later generations, first the manufacturer, then the first-level agent, the second-level agent, the third-level agent, and finally the small supermarket on the street for sales.

The Chengxi Branch is the largest supply and marketing cooperatives in the entire Chengxi, and all large factories and supply and marketing cooperatives in various streets will purchase goods from here.

Of course, the factories don't need to buy anything else, they only buy grain, and the supply and marketing cooperatives on those streets have more things to buy.

Whether it is a supply and marketing cooperatives or various large factories, you also need a ticket to buy things here, and you can't take anything away without a ticket.

Of course, there are some that don't need tickets, but there are too few things that can be bought without tickets in this era.

The driver was just about to stop the car, Fang Yuan said, "Drive to the side first, let's go eat something." ”

"Hmm!" the driver agreed, and drove the car to the side.

After a busy morning, it is already noon, no matter what, I have to invite the driver to have a meal, otherwise I can't say it.

There is a restaurant not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, although it is not a big restaurant, but it looks good, Fang Yuan went in with the driver.

"Master, let's see what you want to eat?" After entering, Fang Yuan said to the driver.

"Just eat whatever you want. ”

"No, I've been busy for a long time, eat something good. ”

The most important thing Fang Yuan lacked in his hand now was food stamps, although he had no money in his hand before, didn't Section Chief Liu just give more than three hundred!

Also, Fang Yuan had a lot of meat tickets in his hand, and this thing was perfect for eating.

"Then let's have a sour and spicy cabbage and a few steamed buns!" the driver said after thinking about it.

In fact, the driver master is also an ordinary family, although it may be better than the average ordinary family, but it is also limited.

Hearing the driver say this, Fang Yuan shook his head, called the waiter over and said, "A fried pork slice, a hot and sour cabbage, and another egg soup." ”

"What do you eat for the main food?" the waiter asked.

"Let's have five steamed buns. After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he handed the ticket and money to the waiter.

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

The waiter took the money and the ticket and went to inform the back kitchen, and a few minutes later the waiter came over with a teapot.

"It's looking for your money and tickets. The waiter first handed Fang Yuan the money and tickets he had recovered, and then poured a glass of water for each of the two people.

"Thank you!"

Fang Yuan and they came relatively early, and they hadn't arrived at the meal point yet, so the dishes were relatively fast.

Otherwise, the location of this restaurant should have a lot of people coming to eat.

Looking at the dishes on the table, and then seeing the big white steamed buns on the plate, the driver swallowed his saliva.

"Eat, what are you looking at?" Fang Yuan said.

"Oh! ”

Fang Yuan picked up a steamed bun, took a bite first, and then sandwiched a piece of meat and ate it.

The driver also let go, and also picked up a steamed bun and began to eat.

Both of them belong to the kind of people who eat faster, and it will only take about ten minutes! The food on the table is swept away.

"Let's go, go buy food. ”

"Well, I'm going to drive. After the driver, the master ran out first.

When the driver drove the car to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Yuan also came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The driver hurriedly got out of the car and walked in with Fang Yuan.

"Which factory are you from?"

This is not a street supply and marketing cooperative, it is very big inside, it may be that they saw Fang Yuan and they came by car, and a staff member asked.

Of course, he didn't ask Fang Yuan, but the driver.

"We are a rolling mill. ”

"Go get an invoice!"

"Invoicing?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment.

The driver hurriedly pulled Fang Yuan inside, and said to Fang Yuan as he walked: "This is different from other supply and marketing cooperatives, here you have to pay the food stamps and money first, and then people will issue a ticket, and when you come over with the ticket, they will load the grain." ”

"That's it!" Fang Yuan nodded.

Also, this is not to buy ten catties and twenty catties of grain, this purchase is several thousand catties, of course, you have to pay the money and pay the ticket first.

The driver took Fang Yuan to a house inside, there were several desks in the house, and a person sat at each desk.

"What do you want?" asked a staff member near the door when he saw two people enter.

Fang Yuan also understood what was going on, and hurriedly went over and took out the ticket and said, "We want a thousand catties of coarse and fine grain, three thousand catties of coarse grain." ”

Hearing Fang Yuan's words, the staff member asked, "What do you want?"

"Cornmeal is needed for coarse and fine grains, and potatoes are needed for coarse grains. ”

While listening to Fang Yuan, this staff member opened the ticket at the same time.

It is said that Fang Yuan can ask for sweet potato flour and sweet potatoes, because sweet potato flour is cheaper than cornmeal, and sweet potatoes are also cheaper than potatoes.

But after thinking about it, Fang Yuan still wanted these two, that's right, a pound of cornmeal is three cents more expensive than sweet potato flour, but cornmeal is better than sweet potato flour, and he is hungry.

A pound is three cents, and a thousand pounds is only thirty yuan.

There are also sweet potatoes and potatoes, a pound of potatoes is more expensive than a penny of sweet potatoes, and three thousand catties are also thirty yuan.

Together, it only cost an extra sixty yuan, Fang Yuan is not a good person, but he will not give the worst to the common people for sixty yuan.

Although he doesn't have much money in his hand now, he won't be short of the sixty yuan, you must know that Section Chief Liu gave him three hundred and twenty yuan.

It was 500 catties of white flour, 2,000 catties of coarse and fine grain, and 5,000 catties of coarse grain, and now he only bought 1,000 catties of coarse and fine grain and 3,000 catties of coarse grain.

So there is enough money, and there is quite a bit of wealth.

The staff quickly counted the food stamps handed over by Fang Yuan and said, "One hundred and fifty-five yuan." ”

"Oh! Fang Yuan hurriedly handed over the money.

One thousand catties of cornmeal, eight cents a pound is eighty yuan, three thousand catties of potatoes, one pound and two cents and a half, is seventy-five yuan, just one hundred and fifty-five.

The staff counted the money, found another five yuan, handed it to Fang Yuan along with the ticket and said, "Go and load the grain." ”

"Thank you!" Fang Yuan hurriedly thanked him.

After coming out of the office, Fang Yuan said: "It's really troublesome, it's not as simple as the outside supply and marketing cooperatives." ”

"The outside supply and marketing cooperatives buy so much at once, and people don't sell it to you. The driver said.

"Uh! ”

Fang Yuan found a problem, that is, the price here is not cheaper than those small supply and marketing cooperatives outside, and cornmeal is still eight cents a catty.

Of course, this may be because he is a factory, and if it is a supply and marketing cooperative, the price may be cheaper, but it is not necessarily.

Because the purpose of the supply and marketing cooperatives is not to make money, and the employees in the supply and marketing cooperatives are all paid, to put it bluntly, they are to serve the people.

The two of them came outside, and Fang Yuan handed the ticket to the staff member before.

The staff took the ticket and looked at it, and shouted: "Come over a few people, load 1,000 catties of cornmeal and 3,000 catties of potatoes." ”

An employee came over, took the ticket in the staff member's hand, and beckoned several employees to move things.

There are many people who work well, and four thousand catties of grain sounds like a lot, of course, it looks like a lot, but five or six people pack it together, and it will be finished in ten minutes.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Yuan did not leave the city as soon as he left, but asked the driver to find a place to stop the car.

The appointment was made at night, it was too early to pass, and so much food was not safe outside the city.

You must know that when people are hungry, they can do anything.

Waiting until it was almost dark, Fang Yuan asked the driver to drive the car to the door of a small restaurant, and he went down to buy a dozen steamed buns, and then drove out of the city.

"Come, master, eat a steamed bun and pad it first. ”

"Thanks!"

The driver's master didn't feel like he had no food, he picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, and it looked like it was still delicious.

Fang Yuan was not short of oil and water in his stomach now, and he was not hungry, but when he saw that the driver was eating so deliciously, he also picked up a steamed bun and ate it.

By the time the truck arrived at the agreed location, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and most of the people should have rested by this time.

"Shall we stop here?" asked the driver, after waiting for about a few minutes.

The driver master is a person who often walks at night, and he drives to nothing, but he is a little flustered as soon as he stops.

This is normal, because the car is loaded with things when driving at night, and there is nothing left for the whole time, and it must be worrying when you stop.

Fear of others stealing, or fear of others robbing, this is no joke.

"Don't worry, there are basically no big trucks here, so no one will think of us stopping here. ”

Hearing Fang Yuan say this, the driver was right to think about it, generally not on the road of big trucks, basically no one would block the road or grab things.

"What time is it?" Fang Yuan asked.

The driver glanced at his watch and said, "It's almost half past eight." ”

"Well! it's almost time to arrive. ”

As soon as Fang Yuan's words fell, a row of dark shadows appeared on the snow in the distance.

The black shadow quickly enlarged, and Fang Yuan hurriedly got out of the car.

"Is it Comrade Fang?" asked the other side.

"Village Chief, it's me. ”

Hearing Fang Yuan's answer, a row of black shadows hurriedly walked over, there were a lot of people, there were almost twenty or so, and they were all strong laborers.

A few of them were carrying two big fat pigs, and any of these two pigs looked more than two hundred catties, at least about two hundred and twenty or thirty catties.

In addition, there are two people carrying two pig cages, each pig cage has a small piglet, the piglet is not big, at most ten catties.

"Village chief, you see, all the grain has been sent to you, 1,000 catties of cornmeal, 3,000 catties of potatoes. ”

"Ah!" The village chief was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to Fang Yuan: "Comrade Xiaofang, thank you!"
