At that time, trucks were still in use. Once the license plates were removed, the streets would be full of similar trucks. Besides, he would drive away after delivering the goods and would not be in Beijing, so he did not have to worry about being exposed.
It’s not possible now. It’s too inconvenient to move so much cargo without a concealed vehicle.
"I can get two pigs, do you want them?"
Two pigs weigh only about 300 pounds, and can be transported by bicycle.
"Yes." Lao Wan quickly agreed. "As long as it's meat and grain, I'll take as much as you can. If you need more in the future, just come to me."
After agreeing on the delivery time and price, Lu Cheng left.
If you count the two pigs, half of the money for the TV will be recovered.
If we had shipped the goods like we did in Haishi or other places, we would have doubled the money.
It’s a pity that Lu Cheng doesn’t plan to ship in large quantities in Beijing in the future.
Lu Cheng went back and told Qin An Ning the result. Knowing that she could get a TV, she was no longer worried. She ran into the space in a good mood to watch Lu Cheng slaughter the pig.
Seeing his skilled technique, Qin An Ning couldn't help but tease, "You can even rival a butcher."
Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows proudly in response to the praise, "That's right, I'm now very skilled at slaughtering pigs and sheep."
After scalding the pig with boiling water, they start scraping off the hair with a scraper, and then start gutting it.
"Save all the lard and bring it back home when you go back, so Mom doesn't have to be reluctant to use oil when cooking."
Lu Cheng nodded, "Okay, I understand. There isn't much pork left in the storage room, so why don't I kill one more later?
I'll keep the spare ribs, pig's trotters, and lean meat for you, and sell the rest directly to Lao Wan."
"Okay, then why don't you kill a sheep? Mutton is a warming food in winter."
The fishy smell was too strong, so Qin An Ning ran away first, ate a bowl of white fungus and pear soup, and went to the study to read.
She has not yet fully understood the recipe she saw in an ancient book.
Before attending Wei Hongling's wedding, Cheng Shuqing returned from a business trip.
Qin Anning frowned distressedly, "Brother, why have you lost so much weight? Didn't you eat enough over there?"
"No, I'm just too busy, and I'm not used to the food there."
Cheng Shuqing handed the big bag he brought back to Qin Anning, "This is a gift for you, see if you like it."
In addition to Guangzhou's cakes and candies, this package also includes some beautiful clothes and fabrics, and even some exquisite handicrafts.
Qin Anning couldn't let go of a straw pendant and asked in surprise, "Brother, why did you buy so many things? Where did you get the tickets?"
Seeing that his sister liked it, Cheng Shuqing also smiled faintly. "When the exhibition is over, some manufacturers will directly dispose of the exhibits without tickets. I picked out some and bought some."
"What is the trade show like? Big brother, tell me about it."
She has been to modern trade fairs, but she has never seen a trade fair from the 1970s. If she has the chance, she will go and see it.
What kind?
They had undergone rigorous qualification review before going, and could recite quotations by heart.
When you arrive in Guangzhou, you must undergo special training, and there will be professionals to cut your hair, iron your clothes, and trim your nails.
I have to receive foreign businessmen during the day and give ideological reports at night. I am busy from morning to night and cannot relax for a moment.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost seven or eight kilograms in just one month.
However, Cheng Shuqing didn't say any of this. He picked out some novel products on display and some interesting stories about foreign businessmen and told them to Qin An Ning.
While the brother and sister were chatting, Lu Cheng had already prepared the meal.
Mutton stewed with radish, stewed meat with dried beans, stir-fried bean sprouts, scrambled eggs, and white rice.
As for Qin An Ning and Lu Cheng’s meals, Cheng Shuqing never thought they were eating too well. His sister should eat well too.
Not to mention that Ningning has enough money to afford it, even if she has no money, he can still afford to feed his sister with delicious food every day by getting the things hidden in the Cheng family.
One has to praise Lu Cheng's cooking skills. Cheng Shuqing felt that this was the most comfortable meal he had had since his business trip.
After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room drinking tea, and Cheng Shuqing also talked about the purpose of his visit.
"I met your second brother when I was in Yangcheng, and he told me something about Qin Zhang.
Qin Zhang did not originally join the army in the Yangcheng Military Region, but was serving in the Jincheng Military Region and was transferred here more than three years ago.
It is said that he had to be transferred from his original military region because of a wrong decision on a mission, which caused unnecessary casualties.
However, these matters have not been verified.”
Having said this, Cheng Shuqing paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your second brother said that you asked about their commander.
Because of his position, he usually couldn't see the commander, but after he returned, he kept an eye on him and once found an opportunity to see him from a distance.
If he saw correctly, the commander looked about 50% similar to his uncle."
Qin Anning suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Shuqing, "So, what Second Brother is saying is that the commander is very likely my grandfather?"
Cheng Shuqing didn't nod, but simply said, "We can't be sure yet. These matters can't be investigated openly, as it can easily cause unnecessary trouble. So these are just your second brother's guesses."
Qin An Ning shook his head, "There aren't so many coincidences in the world.
Qin Zhang looks 70% to 80% like my dad, and he was transferred to the Yangcheng Military Region, and the commander of the Yangcheng Military Region also looks 50% like my dad. These things are very telling. "
However, Qin An Ning didn't care much whether this relative recognized him or not. Relatives who had never met each other could not be that close even if they were related by blood.
"I don't care. I'll wait until my dad comes back and see what he means."
When Cheng Shuqing heard Qin Anning's words, his hand holding the teacup trembled. He looked at Qin Anning in disbelief, "Ningning, what do you mean?"
Qin Anning said simply, "That's what you mean. I think my father is still alive."
My eldest brother is not an outsider, there is no need to hide it from him.
Qin An Ning told her about her encounter with the bearded man, her dream, and then her attempt to deceive Zhou Xinping.
"Judging from Uncle Zhou's reaction, I think my guess is 90% correct."
Cheng Shuqing's mood was quite complicated. He was definitely happy that his uncle was still alive, but when he thought about how his aunt's death was closely related to his uncle, he didn't know how to face his uncle.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Cheng Shuqing made the excuse that he was a little tired and wanted to go back.
Qin An Ning understood but didn't say much. He just told him to have a good rest.
After everyone left, Qin An Ning slowly sat back in his chair, his eyes a little confused.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Lu Cheng saw that something was wrong with Qin An Ning and asked with concern.
Qin An Ning shook her head, leaned against Lu Cheng's arms and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking about my eldest brother. He must be feeling very complicated about Dad being alive.
Even I am the same, happy but also a little bit complaining."
