Looking at the translation now, I realize that Gu Yunyang's translation is excellent.
Moreover, in many places, the translation seems to be better than his.
"Great, I'll take another look at it for you later. If there are no problems, I'll submit it for you. I'll pay you the translation fee later."
Gu Yunyang did not refuse. Since he was going to do this job, he intended to make more money openly.
This is something I cannot refuse.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment, then took out a bottle of honey from his shoulder bag and handed it to Principal Zhong: "I picked a few bottles of honey yesterday when I went up the mountain. I brought them to you, Principal."
this?
Principal Zhong didn't really want it; wild honey is hard to come by.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Principal, please don't refuse. Actually, I brought a few bottles with me to the commune today, as well as some local specialties. I dried some longan and brought some grain, which I plan to mail to Teacher Xu."
Principal Zhong sighed, "Yes, now even urban residents are starting to have their rations reduced. Old Xu probably doesn't have any extra grain either. The fact that you remember Old Xu is a way of repaying him for the help he gave you before."
In the past two years, the Central Plains region has suffered from disasters, and the whole country is short of food.
Who doesn't need that?
Gu Yunyang was even willing to give Xu Hanshan some grain; he is a person who always repays kindness.
"It's alright, we live in the countryside, so we have plenty of food. This year, we've also reclaimed fifty acres of land, and we'll plant some more corn and sweet potatoes in a few days."
"We can manage no matter what. I'm even planning to take some people to the beach to catch some fish, and I'll send some to Principal Zhong later. By the way, Principal Zhong, do you have enough food? If not, please let me know and I'll get you some too."
There used to be enough; if not, you could buy some on the black market for a higher price.
However, the black market has recently been shut down.
Principal Zhong also couldn't find a place to buy food.
These days, food is the most scarce commodity, and he really has no choice.
"Do you have a solution?"
Principal Zhong's statement clearly indicates that he has his reasons.
Gu Yunyang immediately smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll get some for you, Principal Zhong, in a couple of days. Do you want fine grains, or something else? Don't worry, either is fine."
Principal Zhong frowned: "Isn't that troublesome for you?"
Gu Yunyang shook his head: "It's no trouble. It's just that the farmers in the countryside are lacking other things. But they still have grain. At worst, we can just visit a few more households and we can always scrape together the rest."
Seeing that Principal Zhong was still a little worried, Gu Yunyang smiled and reassured him, "Principal Zhong, there's no need to worry. All we're doing is walking a few more steps and bartering. We have cloth coupons and sugar coupons, and they don't. It's a win-win situation."
Principal Zhong was genuinely short of food, which is why he agreed: "As for what kind of food, you can decide. Take whatever you have, no need to be picky."
Principal Zhong is capable of translating books, so he must be well-off.
Gu Yunyang didn't say much, just told them to find them some good food so they could have enough to eat.
"Alright, Principal Zhong. I'll go to the post office now to mail things to Teacher Xu and the others. I'll come to your house in a couple of days."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Principal Zhong, Gu Yunyang went to the post office to mail things to Zhang Jianjun and Xu Hanshan.
I also received a few letters and a package.
Later, just as he was about to go to the agricultural machinery factory, Gu Yunyang noticed that Huo Yin's house had a circle of pebbles in front of it.
"This is a final decision, forced by life, and finally bowing down."
Gu Yunyang planned to leave work early in the afternoon so he could go find Huo Yin and get the black market up and running.
Without a black market, many people would face significant inconvenience in their lives.
“Perfect timing. I’ll make a trip there later and get this set up.”
