Siheyuan: Jie Hu Lou Xiao'e

Chapter 90: Going to the Countryside to Collect Eggs

"Oh, Su Ci, tell me, what are you doing?"

This guy is a typical snobbery. In the original work, he asked Silly Zhu to give him an extra three yuan a month to settle the matter. To put it bluntly, it was for his own benefit. He immediately agreed to do things with Qin Huairu without accepting the money.

"Didn't I borrow Qin Huairu five yuan a few days ago? I happen to have a lot of money now, and the total with interest is six yuan. These ten kilograms of stick noodles should be regarded as a thank you gift."

Su Ci slapped the six yuan on the table. Jia Zhang's eyes widened and she swallowed involuntarily.

"Oh, you're welcome! I'll tell Huai Ru when she comes back." Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled so hard that the folds on her fat face blossomed, and she wanted to grab the money and put it into her arms with her fat hands.

Su Ci held down the six yuan, faced Jia Zhang's blank gaze, and spread his hands: "Where is the IOU?"

"Look at my brain. Wait a minute and I'll get it for you."

Mrs. Jia Zhang quickly apologized, turned around, and rummaged through the box with a skill that was not befitting her age. Finally, she found the IOU in the small iron box where Qin Huairu had hidden important items, and handed it to Su Ci.

"Yes, it's confirmed." Su Ci casually put it beside the fire to burn it, and generously pushed the six yuan in front of Jia Zhang, who narrowed her eyes.

"Okay, you should tell Qin Huairu when the time comes."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Mrs. Jia Zhang enthusiastically helped him lift the door curtain with a flattering tone.

With a meaningful smile on Su Ci's face, she said to her heart, "I don't believe you can bear it."

Jia Zhang also has a big problem, which is her addiction to painkillers. She used to suffer from minor illnesses and disasters as she got older. In order to save money, she kept buying painkillers to cope with them. After more than ten years, even though she was in good health,

, but couldn’t help but spend money to buy it.

Up to now, almost all the three yuan Qin Huairu paid to her every month was used to buy painkillers.

In this era, there were restrictions and insufficient research on painkillers, which resulted in many patients who were dependent on painkillers.

Its severity is not inferior to those who smoked cigarettes before liberation.

Su Ci calculated the days. The factory paid wages once in the new year. Now there are still five or six days before the next wage payment. It is precisely at this time that Jia Zhang is having the most difficult time. She is looking forward to Qin Huairu every moment.

Pay wages quickly.

Now that Su Ci has sent her a huge sum of six yuan, how can Mrs. Jia Zhang bear it?

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, Jia Zhang sneaked straight to the hospital.

Half an hour later, Su Ci successfully got the receipt for Jia Zhang's prescription from the trash can in the corner of the hospital. She couldn't help but clicked her tongue: "I underestimated this old godly woman and just prescribed medicine for six yuan."

His original plan was to retaliate against Qin Huairu's plan and ask Jia Zhang to spend a few more dollars to add some trouble to their relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, this Jia Zhang family was so ruthless that he directly embezzled six yuan. If he takes the three yuan from Qin Huairu next month and waits for the scandal to happen, it will be a good show.

the next day

Su Ci was officially appointed as the deputy director of the steel rolling mill at the factory leadership meeting.

This appointment was approved by half of the leaders. Factory Director Yang, a powerful man, took the lead, and his influence was still very strong. In addition, Director Lou’s personal connections and resources

Everyone at the steel rolling mill was also deeply impressed by Su Ci. They knew that Su Ci was highly valued by the leaders, so they did not express any objection to this.

So Su Ci can take office from now on. As soon as this appointment came out, the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill exploded and there was a lot of discussion.

Su Ci was directly promoted to the position of factory director, but originally faced many problems, such as qualifications and length of service.

But fortunately, the current situation is different, and the higher-ups also support the promotion of promising young people, so it is not difficult to take office.

The only problem at the moment is that Su Ci does not have any impressive achievements or abilities, but now he is in a high position all of a sudden. This has really made many people jealous, and they are also complaining in their hearts. They all speculate about how long it will take for Su Ci, an outsider, to be unable to continue his job.

, left in despair.

Su Ci was very calm and immediately went to Director Yang's office to express his gratitude.

"Director, thank you for your cultivation. I promise not to embarrass you."

Director Yang was very satisfied with how Su Ci was neither arrogant nor impetuous and came to his office to express his loyalty as soon as possible after taking office.

"Xiao Su, as the deputy director of the factory, you are responsible for logistics. This is a big stall. You can't relax at all. Especially since you promised to get unplanned meat before, hurry up and put it on the agenda!"

"That's what I came here to tell you!"

Su Ci smiled and said, "You still need to issue an approval slip and certificate."

"Oh? What's the price of meat?" Director Yang asked curiously.

"Pork is 75 cents per catty, beef is 450 cents per catty, and mutton is 55.1 catties. There is no charge for haggis, pig offal, offal, etc. As long as the purchase volume is large, they are willing to give it away for free!"

"So affordable?" Director Yang's eyes lit up. The price is only five cents more expensive than the market price. The point is that these are not included in the plan. You only need to use money to buy them. You don't need to use the ones issued by the authorities.

Indicators and notes.

The only thing he cares about now is how much Su Ci can earn. The workers in the steel rolling mill don't see any meat every day. How can the young and strong workers survive the high-intensity work with just potatoes and pasta.

More importantly, Factory Manager Yang is responsible for the supply, marketing and purchasing. He usually treats customers to dinner, and if there is no meat or fish at all, who would come back again?

"Currently, we will start with 3,000 kilograms of pork, and 500 kilograms each of mutton and beef. When the cooperation relationship is established, we can gradually increase the amount in the future."

These days, pork that is full of fat is the hard currency. No one here buys lean meat. They only focus on fat meat. Not only do they take oil supplements, but they can also make pork for stir-fry, even add some soy sauce and mix it directly with rice.

The food is delicious.

Beef, mutton, and fish are rarely on the table. The main reason is that the calories are too low and they do not resist hunger.

Sometimes after eating at noon, I feel hungry before it gets dark.

It is because later generations paid more attention to nutrition and body management that beef, mutton and fish gradually became popular.

Take fish as an example. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is not considered meat.

The calorie is too low and can only be eaten occasionally. In order to save seasoning these days, the fish in the big pot rice always has an earthy smell, and there is less oil and water. Sometimes if you eat too much, you may scrape out the remaining oil and water in your stomach.

This is also the reason why in times of famine, when there are fish and shrimp everywhere, people still starve to death.

"Okay, I'll issue an approval note to you right away."

Director Yang didn't write any ink and gave him an approval note for 2,750 yuan. He only needed to go to the finance department to get a stamp and he could receive the money directly.

"The approval slip alone is not enough. I will also give you a letter of introduction. If you need anything else, come to me at any time."

Director Yang attached great importance to Su Ci's actions, so he gave Su Ci maximum support.

If we can transport a large amount of meat this time, we can definitely silence everyone and secure the position of deputy director.

These are all achievements of his own faction, which further proves that he knows people well and makes good use of them.

With a letter of introduction, you can prove Su Ci's identity as a steel rolling mill buyer. No matter how much money you have these days, no one will dare to sell you anything without a receipt and a letter of introduction.

Now that Director Yang is protecting him, and the level of the steel rolling mill is so high, no matter how the wind blows outside, as long as he doesn't seek death, no one can do anything to Su Ci.

Su Ci left the office and went to the finance department to stamp the approval note. Then, two thick envelopes of money were handed to Su Ci's hands. They were all in a large package with a face value of ten yuan. The envelopes almost burst.

For him, this money is pure profit. Even if he is now the deputy director of the factory and his salary is 156 yuan, he will have to live without eating and drinking for most of his life to earn it, not to mention the consumption of meat in the future.

After I get here, it won't be a problem to earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a month.

Carefully put the huge sum of more than 2,700 yuan into the storage space.

Only then did Su Ci arrive at the cafeteria with great satisfaction.

Just in time for the meal, He Yuzhu was drinking tea from a ceramic vat. From time to time, he loudly scolded Ma Hua, whose voice was so loud that it could be heard from far away.

"Hey! Everyone, stop what you are doing, Deputy Director Su is here!"

Liu Lan saw Su Ci coming and greeted others jokingly. As a direct descendant of the former factory director Yang, Liu Lan did not dare to bully others and look at Su Ci's face, so he was quite attentive.

"I came here today just to say something to everyone. I promise you that as the deputy director of the logistics management, I will not interfere too much with the operation of the kitchen. Everything will continue as usual."

As soon as these words came out, all the employees in the canteen couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

They were really afraid that Su Ci's new appointment would cause them to jump up and down.

As long as Su Ci kept things as usual and did not specify any troublesome targets or rules, they would ensure that they would work diligently and make Su Ci fat and healthy.

As the so-called three things to do when a new official takes office, Su Ci rushed to the logistics department and knocked on Director Zhao's office door.

"Director Su came just in time. Haha, Director Yang already made it clear to me on the phone."

In addition, Director Yang acts as a backer for Su Ci, so Director Zhao naturally gives the green light and fully cooperates.

"You're welcome, Director Zhao. I won't have to trouble you in the future."

Su Ci was low-key in his work, paying special attention to the smallest details, and was not arrogant due to favor.

Director Zhao's smile did not fade, and with a wave of his hand, he assigned two transport trucks to Su Ci, with two experienced drivers at Su Ci's disposal.

After Su Ci spoke politely, he asked the driver to drive him to the Red Star Commune where the movie had been shown before, and the secretary came out to greet him personally.

After hearing Su Ci's explanation of the purpose of his visit and confirming that the letter of introduction was correct, the secretary had a troubled look on his face.

"If you want to collect eggs, there are so many of them in the communes around us. The daily procurement quota for the bread factory is too low, and they will only spoil in batches if left unchecked."

The secretary sighed and continued

"But there are no pigs, cattle, or sheep left in any commune. There are not many of them to begin with, and a bunch of them were killed during the New Year."

According to national regulations, pigs raised in rural areas can be slaughtered and eaten by oneself, but they are not allowed to be sold in the market, so it is not profitable. There are not many people raising pigs in rural areas. Generally, seven or eight households raise one pig together for the Chinese New Year.

It's time to kill and eat.

Su Ci said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, just help me get a pig, a cow, and a sheep, but I want the biggest and fattest one."

The secretary doesn't understand Su Ci's meaning, so what's the use of just taking care of it?

"If you do me this favor, I will buy all the eggs in our commune! I will charge them according to the market price. What do you think?"

"Director Su, are you telling the truth?"

The secretary's hands were trembling with excitement.

He was also very worried during this time. Every household in the village raised chickens to hatch eggs, and the egg production increased. However, the quota of the bakery factory that was qualified to purchase only had a fixed amount. The excess could not be sold, and he could only watch helplessly.

Lose.

They don't dare to go out and sell it privately, otherwise no one can afford to be accused of speculation.

Not only them, but also the cadres in the surrounding villages turned gray with worry.

Now that Su Ci took the initiative to help take over, the secretary was ten years younger in joy: "Don't worry, they are the strongest and fattest pigs, cows and sheep. I will drive all the animals in the village here for you to choose!"

The secretary gave the order, and upon hearing Su Ci's promise, the village cadres were all in high spirits and full of energy. Soon, the entrance to the commune was filled with all kinds of livestock, a dozen pigs, and more than twenty cattle and sheep.

As one of the most wealthy communes around the capital, Red Star Commune has an appallingly low number of pigs, cattle, and sheep. You don’t even have to think about the number of surrounding villages. If you don’t cheat, how can you collect the full amount of four thousand kilograms?

Soon, Su Ci selected a pig, a cow and a sheep. The pig alone weighed more than 240 kilograms. Su Ci remembered that he had signed up for a copy function that allowed him to copy and paste things!

After everything is done, ask the secretary to call the butcher, kill the pigs, cattle and sheep, bleed them, and take away only the fresh carcasses.

The secretary doesn't write ink, so what Su Ci says now is an imperial edict. After the completion, Su Ci also kept his promise: "The current price on the market, eggs are only six cents each, what do you think?"

Since the famine years of the early 1960s, buying eggs in the market has basically been based on individual eggs. You can buy ten for about 55 cents. Ten of them is almost a pound.

The secretary was overjoyed at first, then waved his hand in embarrassment and said: "Your purchase price is too high. The bakery only paid four cents. Let it be lower, otherwise you will suffer a big loss."

Su Ci said with a smile: "It has to be this price! If it's lower than the market price, then it's just speculation! I buy eggs purely to supplement nutrition for the workers. It doesn't matter if I lose some money."

As long as the price I sell is lower than the price I bought, who can accuse me of speculating?

Su Ci knew very well that he could not take all the benefits by himself. The beef, sheep, and pork were basically pure profits. He could use some to buy eggs for the workers, and it wouldn't cost much. It was all a blessing, and he could also get a job.

color.

In this way, I spent 600 yuan and collected 1,000 kilograms of eggs.

"On behalf of everyone in the village, thank you, Director Su!"

The secretary was extremely moved and thanked him repeatedly.

Su Ci was polite and paid a full subsidy according to the price of pork, beef and mutton on the market. The villagers who sold the meat were overjoyed and thanked them repeatedly.

In this way, Su Ci bought the raw materials, and the next three pigs, cows and sheep will play the role of old employees of the stick bone shop in future generations.
