Era: Start as a buyer

All the pork was pulled back to the canteen. After being weighed, it was found that it weighed 200 kilograms.

Then according to the verbal agreement, one hundred and sixty-two pounds were delivered. For the rest, Luo Cheng asked the secretary to borrow a pot from the commune canteen to use. In the afternoon, he went to ask someone to boil the remaining fat for him, and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a jar to hold lard.

The meat will go bad, but it will be different when boiled into oil. Moreover, if the lard is taken back to the city and given as gifts or sold as a favor, it is still a hot commodity. If you are eating rice, make some soy sauce and some lard, stir it briefly, and a bowl of lard rice will come out. You don’t need any vegetables, and everyone will enjoy it.

This extra thirty-eight pounds of meat seems a bit unclear. However, only a few people knew the specific details of the exchange. Although everyone in the town knew that Luo Cheng was exchanging things with the commune on behalf of the machinery factory, no one else knew exactly how to exchange or what to exchange for.

People may think that the machinery factory brings a little too much meat, boils it in oil and brings it back to avoid spoilage.

But Secretary Wang doesn’t think so. Buyer~~hehe~, if others don’t understand, Secretary Wang doesn’t understand him. If he were a buyer at a purchasing station, he would never think twice about it, but a buyer at a factory unit. The cook brings the dishes, and the buyer keeps secrets.

This Luo Cheng is now wearing work clothes, and he was indeed not short before. Damn it, Secretary Wang almost forgot that this boy was a second-rate boy before he married Accountant Zhao's daughter.

"Nariko, why is there so much meat here?"

"Don't ask, it's not just for me. I brought back many people to share the profit. I'm just a worker, and the commune already got the meat it wanted."

Luo Cheng replied, and with this reply, Accountant Zhao and Secretary Wang instantly understood what he meant. If Luo Cheng could make thirty-eight pounds of meat by himself, that would indeed be too much. This was just a trade-in transaction, and there would be cooperation in the future.

But now Luo Chengyi said that there was no need to explain clearly. Accountant Zhao and Secretary Wang did not need to communicate, and they would all think of the leaders above Luo Cheng and some people involved in this matter.

Even if Accountant Zhao and Secretary Wang knew about it, they couldn't say anything.

And this is a small problem, just a few pounds of meat. For a big factory, it is nothing. The driver sells food privately, the salesperson gives priority to selling supplies to people he knows, and the hotel waiter has relatives who go to the restaurant to eat, but the portions of the dishes are still different.

To be honest, when Luo Cheng was purchasing, he would privately buy some wild boar, venison or fish caught in the reservoir. Secretary Wang will definitely agree and even give him a few fish. Aren’t many buyers like this? But during the whole process, Luo Cheng not only didn't ask for anything, but he also contributed his own money to go hunting with the team.

Only now do I realize that this was a personal gain at the last step, and what was gained was not something from the commune. But don’t tell the truth. Factories in urban areas are just like bulls, unlike some buyers in small places who argue with you every day.

But~~how much of the thirty-eight pounds of fat belongs to Luo Cheng.

Secretary Wang only works as a secretary in Longjin Town. He is not a local in this town, and his family is not from the countryside, and they do not eat from a big pot. This boiled lard~~, even if he eats a big pot of rice with everyone, wouldn't it still be delicious if he occasionally puts some lard in the rice and stirs it?

But he couldn't bring it up directly. Anyway, Lao Zhao from the commune was this boy's father-in-law. After the boy left, he would talk to Lao Zhao about this matter in private. It's not like I asked for it in vain. The money I should give is a lot, and it doesn't matter if I even add a little more.

When it comes to borrowing a pot from the canteen, Secretary Wang said it was no problem and just asked Accountant Zhao to say hello later. As long as it didn't affect the canteen's cooking, it was fine in the afternoon when he was free.

After the matter was settled, Luo Cheng went back first. For the meat from the commune, Wang Shu remembered to ride his bicycle to the county seat immediately. It would be okay if the town sent people into the mountains to catch some prey and everyone ate it. But you had more than 160 kilograms of fat meat, so you just cooked and ate it all without thinking about it. Have you considered the organization and leadership?

With so many people in the town, if the meat was eaten directly, Secretary Wang could not guarantee that the people above would not know about it. To be able to become the town secretary, he must have some awareness.

Luo Cheng returned home and took out the wrapped money, one hundred and sixty-two yuan, from his pocket. In this day and age, it is a large sum of money for an individual. But you have to say a lot, but that's not the case. Director Sun in the machinery factory earns a salary of more than one hundred yuan a month. Some workers have high technical levels, ranging from 70 to 81 months old. But for level eight workers, the monthly salary is about 100, which is not available in machinery factories.

Now that he is rich, what Luo Cheng wants most is to have a watch in his time. Not having a watch is too inconvenient. I also want a bicycle, but bicycles are secondary. There are shuttle buses between the city and the town, and they are reimbursed. It’s not too far to walk to work in the city, and of course it’s more convenient to have a bicycle.

But I have just started working, and the income of more than 160 yuan cannot explain the source of the money. Buying watches, bicycles and tickets cannot explain the source of the money.

You can use this money to buy some things that don't require tickets. If you have time, go explore the pigeon market in the city to see if there are any good things.

Put the money aside. This money will also be used to pay wages to Ergouzi and others or to bring things to the city. I don’t know how the harvest of loaches and eels will be as it’s raining outside today. As for saying that they won't go to the fields to catch eels on rainy days, that's impossible. If they really didn't go, they would come to him and tell him.

And the rain isn't too heavy, so wearing a raincoat won't do anything. Moreover, it rains and the soil is easy to dig. It’s more than one yuan a day. Where else can they earn money?

Sure enough, I didn't wait long at home before someone came to deliver the goods. It was my sister Luo Yan. She catches loaches, which are different from eels. Eels can survive for a long time without water, but loaches cannot.

Luo Yan went fishing for loaches early in the morning. Because she could make money, she was allowed to wear one of the two coir raincoats at home. Now when we come to Luo Cheng, Luo Yan is about to leave after dumping the loaches. When the rain subsides, he continues to catch them.

However, Luo Yan was left behind by Luo Cheng. It was almost time for dinner, so why not take a rest. Luo Cheng told her that the eldest sister would come over later and would eat at his place for the past two days. There are steamed buns and vegetables, but they are no better than the food in the cafeteria.

When Luo Yan heard that there were steamed buns to eat, she couldn't walk. Besides, this was her brother's house, so there was nothing to be polite about.

Luo Cheng looked at his sister's harvest today. It seemed that it was not as much as last night, so he asked in passing.

"It's raining, and the water on the other side of the stream has risen a bit, making it difficult to catch. But it's raining, and I saw loaches in the ditch next to the field, but many of them are relatively small. The small loaches don't have much meat, so I didn't catch the small ones. of."

Luo Cheng nodded. The small loach is cheap. According to Liu Xiaofei, if the small loach is not fried and crispy, and the bones are eaten whole, it will not only be tiring to eat, but also not enough to eat. Of course, when eating loach, choose the big one.

She asked Luo Yan to take off her coir raincoat, hang it at the door, and pour the loach into a small wooden basin. After washing her hands, Luo Cheng gave her a steamed bun to eat and play with. When eating and playing, just tear it apart bit by bit with your hands and eat it as a snack. Don't eat it in big mouths and then disappear each one.

Luo Yan never dared to think about eating white flour steamed buns as snacks.

Not long after, Ergouzi also came with a bucket of eels. He directly told Luo Cheng that he was the only one who caught the fish in the field today. He only had a coir raincoat at home and did not let his wife go to the field. But now that it’s raining, it’s easy to catch the eels in the field. Especially in places where the ground has just been plowed, you can see some eels coming out.

So, what he caught this morning was no less than what the two of them did yesterday. Of course, he didn't mean to ask Luo Cheng for two wages. The idea is to catch more, but do whatever you want. Just give him a portion of the money today.

Luo Cheng didn't say anything on this and kept the person for dinner. There was no need to rush back to the canteen to eat, her wife could just go with his grandma. Later he will bring some steamed buns back for his wife and grandma to eat.

Then there was another man who couldn't walk because of the steamed buns. Especially Luo Cheng asked Er Gouzi to take the steamed buns back to his wife and grandma to eat. It was okay if he didn't eat them. His wife had to please him and his grandma had to be filial. I also sat down and chatted with Luo Cheng, waiting for his sister to come and eat together.
