My 1979

Because Liu Dazhuang was also going, Li He asked Li Mei to bake a few more pancakes, and he put another five yuan in his pocket.

Before dawn, the brothers quickly got up again, picked up the bags of eels from the ditch and put them on the cart.

Liu Dazhuang didn't even ask the brothers to shout, so he came over. This saves trouble, otherwise he would go into the alley and shout at others later, causing the cocks to crow and the dogs to bark.

When we arrived at the county seat, we first went to North Street and unloaded a few bags. This side was pretty much the same as South Street.

Li He said to them, "Stand guard here. Have you memorized the road? Whoever sells out first will go find him. If you get lost, just ask someone, do you know?"

They both nodded.

"Be patient in advance and don't act according to your temper. This place is different from home. If you force someone to cause trouble, run away first. Don't worry about anything else. Safety first."

"We are not stupid. When we encounter a lot of people, what else can we do if we don't run away." Da Zhuang said with a smile.

"No matter how many people there are, it's not allowed."

"Okay, hurry up and take Da Zhuang to South Street. There are already people buying vegetables. I'll hurry up first. It's more than 300 kilograms." Li Long opened the bag and rolled it up. If someone wants to buy eels and loaches, he can do it. Easy to choose.

When we arrived at South Street, we set up the stall in the same position as yesterday and placed the cart in an open space in the distance. Even though it was far away, it was still right under our noses and no one would grab it easily.

Just like yesterday, he ate two pieces of pancakes, drank some boiled water, and then took Liu Dazhuang to greet a few aunties who were buying groceries. After that, Dazhuang was left to support himself while he held his arms behind him. Da Zhuang is still very clever in doing things, much better than him.

In just a short while, more than 50 kilograms of loach and more than 30 kilograms of eel were out. It was much better than yesterday. After all, yesterday's regular customers were at the bottom. Besides, the meat tickets for buying meat are limited these days. This loach and eel are not It requires a ticket and is cheaper than meat.

Seeing that Da Zhuang can do the job, he can go to the provincial capital with peace of mind, "Dazhuang, I'll leave first. I'll go to the provincial capital. When you meet up with the third child, go home directly. Don't wait for me. I'll go back by myself"

"I got it, go ahead and do your business." Da Zhuang was very excited. Oh my god, I made dozens of dollars in a short time. Today is an eye-opener.

Li Hechao put a few food stamps he had just exchanged into his pocket and hurried to the bus station.

The bus station is very small, and there are only two buses to the provincial capital every day. Li He arrived early. I found a seat by the window, and just as I was about to take a nap, the ticket seller came over.

"Comrade, twenty cents." An old lady was wearing a torn canvas bag. After collecting the money, she tore a ticket directly to Li He.

After riding for more than an hour, he went straight to the bus stop. He could not find the bus route in his memory on the bus sign. After all, it had been more than 30 years. Li He had to ask the person next to him, "Brother, please go to the aquatic products wholesale." How will the market go?"

It was not the first time for the people next to me to see Li He, a countryman who had to take off his shoes and patch his shirt, so he still said kindly, "You're talking about the Provincial Aquatic Products Supply and Marketing Company, right?"

When Li He heard this, he realized it was an aquatic product supply and marketing company!

Nowadays, it is still run by the state and has the same nature as the supply and marketing cooperatives. The supply and marketing cooperatives will also collect dry goods from individuals, such as furs, bristles, herbs, mushrooms, etc. There is no private wholesale market at all. "Brother, yes, yes, It’s the aquatic products company. Could you please show me the way down?”

“From here, take bus 3 directly to Shouchun Road, and you’ll reach the intersection of Shouchun Road and Fuyang Road.”

"Thank you so much, brother." Li He's memory gap came back immediately. Although the urban reconstruction changes in later generations were relatively large, the road names basically remained unchanged.

A bus running on the road carrying a gas bag looks dangerous when it is filled with natural gas. At this time, one station costs one cent, and if you take 14 stops, the total is 14 cents.

The aquatic products supply and marketing company had water stains all over the floor. Vehicles from lower-level aquatic products companies were driving goods back and forth. Li He didn't bother to pay attention to the fishy smell in the air.

After wandering around, I finally found a door with an 'Office' sign. Before I could enter, I was stopped by someone, "Hey, hey, I'm talking about you. Why are you looking around?"

"Hello, comrade, I'm just looking for a servant. Is your manager here?" Li He turned around and saw an old man in gray clothes standing in front of him. He stretched out his hand and did not hit the smiling person. Li He's mouth broke into a smile. , Why do I feel uncomfortable with this flattering smile?

The old man stared at Li He from head to toe, always showing a hint of disdain.

Li He thought it over, indeed a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. His outfit was normal in the countryside where he had been mending for three years, but when he got to the city he would be looked down upon.

"You are always tired, come and light a cigarette." Before coming, Li He went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought 2 packs of Hongtashan for 70 cents. Although he does not smoke now, he has been a regular smoker since he was 25 years old.

The old man took Li He's Hongtashan, took it apart and smoked one.

Li He asked with a smile, "How is it? Does it taste good?"

In his previous life, Li had been involved in the system for more than ten years, and later he had been in business for more than twenty years. At first glance, it is clear that someone has a decent mentality. This old man is not a noble and dignified person. The so-called difficult kid refers to this. It's not rude at all to give you a pack of cigarettes, and they won't give you any pretext for bribery. It is true that this type of people are difficult to deal with, but they are also the most affordable type of people.

The old man blew out a smoke ring, raised his finger to point at Li He, and said with a smile, "Young comrade, serve the people. What business do you have with our manager?"

Li He said with a smile, "We are from the Huaihe River. As you know, there is a lot of rain during the plum rainy season. The fields and ditches are full of eels and loaches digging holes. The fields cannot store water, which seriously affects the grain production. So, Our village actively eliminates pests and has caught a few, but as you know, eels and loaches are fat and nutritious. In order to improve service to the people and improve the people's material and people's standards, I would like to see if your aquatic products company will accept them?"

"What do I mean? But you're still here, you've caught up with the policy." The old man smiled and pointed at a document on the bulletin board on the wall. "If you don't know how to read, take a look for yourself."

Li He looked at the documents on the bulletin board carefully. The main thing was that the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee gave a speech at the provincial fishery work conference on May 9 this year, emphasizing that fishery is an important part of socialist agriculture. Only fishery With development, the rural economic structure can be more reasonable, and fishery production must be vigorously developed. Party and government leaders at all levels are required to increase their awareness of the importance of fishery production, treat fish farming production the same as food production, and speed up the development of fishery farming.

Li He slapped his thigh, "Whether it works or not, I will always accept your love!"

Peipianpidian followed the old man through a small door and went directly to the second floor. The old man turned his head and said, "Wait here, don't wander around, I'll go in first and ask."

Li He quickly said hello. After a while, the old man came out and waved to Li He, "Come in quickly, this is our manager Wang."

The old man led Li He to a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. The man had dark skin, a full forehead and a wide chin, and looked like a strong and strong man. The old man ushered the people in and left. The manager asked, "Does your village allow a young man like you to come here?"

Li He did not dare to say that this was done by himself, so he could only follow what he said, and then pretended to be stupid, "Manager Wang, we are all serving the people. It is the same for everyone. The key is that I have good legs and feet and run more." Running is a long way to go. Besides, the round-trip ticket is only 50 cents, so one extra person is a waste of every penny."

Manager Wang looked a little funny when Li He looked like this, "You can decide whether you can do it or not. Let me tell you the truth. In the past, no one cared about this loach and no one was willing to eat it. However, the market has increased in the past two years. We basically give it to brother provinces and cities like Pujiang and East Guangdong. Whatever quantity you want, if the quantity is small, we are not interested."

When Li He heard this, he could only suppress his excitement, "Manager Wang, I have the final say. We promise to have at least 1,000 kilograms of food every day, and we will never let the leader down."

Manager Wang Zou Zou frowned, "Comrade, this amount is a bit small. Anyway, I want as much as I want. I don't want the dead ones, I don't want the small ones. I can't do the same thing."

Li He hurriedly said in a firm and exaggerated tone like a stupid young man, "Leader, don't worry, we will not let the national interests be harmed, otherwise I will be shot."

When he left the gate of the aquatic products company, the old man who had just brought him in reminded him, "Don't forget the letter of introduction from your production team."

Li He hurriedly said thank you and gave the old man the last pack of cigarettes in his pocket.

After leaving the aquatic products company, what Li He was most satisfied with was the purchase price, which was 2 cents for loach and 3 cents for eels, which seriously exceeded expectations.

He received 1.6 cents for loach and 2.2 cents for eel. In other words, the price difference of loach is 5 points, and the price difference of eel is 9 points. Although it may seem small, it cannot stand up to the large quantity.

These days, the eels and loaches in the fields are almost becoming sperm. If I make acquisitions in the nearby villages and towns, the amount will be less.

All he could think about in his heart was, Ancestor eel, Immortal Loach, you can’t blame me if you lose your descendants. Without me, you wouldn’t be able to avoid pesticides and fertilizers in future generations.
