After hearing what he said, Uncle Hu patted Ren Jingxiao on the shoulder with a touched look on his face. The brothers standing behind him were also very happy.
Originally, the boss said that this business was not profitable and he just wanted to stabilize the situation. They could understand that, but they still felt unbalanced.
They worked all night last night and went to contact people at daybreak to sell the products to the communes and the county town. They must have felt bad after working all day without making any profit.
However, they also knew what the boss meant. There would be many benefits in the future! So they no longer had any objections, but they knew that their brother would not suffer any loss.
"We'll just calculate it based on the purchase price. All the risks are borne by our brothers. We can't let you suffer any losses. Uncle Hu, don't say anything else. This is what we'll do."
Ren Jingxiao saw that Uncle Hu was still hesitating. He knew that Uncle Hu would definitely take extra care of him because of his father, but he couldn't be so ignorant.
In the end, Uncle Hu agreed with him and sold the meat at a high price of two yuan.
The lowest price is one yuan and seventy-eight, but Uncle Hu gave him one yuan as the purchase price, so neither side suffered a loss.
Ren Jingxiao had no objection, so Uncle Hu asked someone to settle the accounts.
"Uncle Hu, isn't the New Year coming soon? Let me see what else you have here. I want to buy something to take back." Ren Jingxiao saw Uncle Hu preparing to pay him and stopped him.
"What do you want? The black market is open now, and many people are selling things. If we have it here, I'll go to the warehouse and get it for you. If we don't have it, I'll go and get it for you."
When Uncle Hu heard that he wanted to buy something, he hurriedly asked, since he came to his place, he definitely couldn't let him go out and buy it himself, because the black market was too chaotic at the end of the year.
"I want some food, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and rare things like canned milk powder."
Ren Jingxiao thought that he had enough of the things sold outside, he just wanted some that were hard to find.
Uncle Hu nodded. He thought that his wife was pregnant and must take good care of herself. Those people who came to sell her would definitely look down on her.
"Wait a moment, I'll go and show you." Uncle Hu is not like Uncle Wu. Those rare things are hard to sell here. What is easy to sell here are grains and meat.
It's difficult for him to sell those expensive milk powders and the like even if he has the supply. Who would pursue snacks when they can't even get enough to eat?
Uncle Hu picked out some more expensive cakes, peanuts, melon seeds, candies, and two cans of malted milk in the warehouse.
He doesn't have any milk powder, and the only canned food he has is a can of peaches, but no canned meat.
Uncle Hu handed those things to Ren Jingxiao, and he didn't dislike them. He knew that Uncle Hu's things were definitely not as good as his father's.
He thought that the milk powder here was only suitable for adults, and that children's milk powder could only be bought at the foreign Friendship Store, so it was even more out of the question to buy it here.
"By the way, Uncle Wu asked me to give this to you before he left." Uncle Hu almost forgot about it.
When he came over with a pack of milk bottles, Ren Jingxiao paused. He looked at the strange shape and didn't understand what it was.
"Master Wu said this is the milk bottle you requested. It's been a while since it arrived, but since you haven't been here, he's put it in the warehouse. He only remembered it when he was packing up last time, so he asked me to pass it on to you."
Uncle Hu knew Ren Jingxiao had forgotten when he saw him like this. He actually didn't know what to do with this thing. He had only heard of it before, and this was the first time he had seen it.
When Ren Jingxiao heard that they were milk bottles, he picked them up to take a look. He counted them and found that there were exactly ten.
He had heard from Uncle Kun that this thing was difficult to get, and he felt that it was indeed a rare thing, and looked very strange.
After Uncle Hu settled the bill for him, he took the things and Uncle Hu refused to accept the money, saying that they had made a lot of money from the meat and that these things could be considered as gifts.
"Uncle Hu, this is just this once. If you don't take my money next time, I won't come to you anymore. And I won't let you sell meat in the future."
Uncle Hu was not angry when Ren Jingxiao said this, but nodded with a smile.
Ningxia had already fallen asleep when Ren Jingxiao returned home. She was exhausted from the day.
He was afraid of waking the person up, so he moved much more gently. Then he washed up and went to sleep with the person in his arms on the upper bunk.
Ren Jingxiao woke up at daybreak. Since he started working, he has been waking up early every day and has gotten used to it.
Seeing that Ningxia was still asleep, Ren Jingxiao didn't bother her. He cooked the meal and strolled in the alley with Dapao for a while.
Ever since the cannon was discovered, Ningxia and Ren Jingxiao always take it with them when they go out for a walk at night.
Everyone was scared at first, but gradually they got used to it and would even greet the cannon when they saw it.
"Brother Ren, is your transportation department on holiday?" Ma Desheng was riding his bike to go to work and was extremely envious when he saw Ren Jingxiao looking so relaxed.
"Well, when will you release it?" Ren Jingxiao heard Lu Hai say that except for the Ministry of Transportation, other factories would release it later.
"It's still early for us! On the 29th, it will be the New Year's Day." After Ma Desheng said this, he saw that it was too late, so he said hello and hurried to the factory.
Ren Jingxiao greeted everyone he met along the way enthusiastically. He didn't know when it started, but he became more and more familiar with this place and more and more unfamiliar with the Black Mountain Brigade where he was born and raised.
Seeing that it was still early, Ren Jingxiao let Dapao go home by himself. He went to the state-owned restaurant to buy some breakfast and took it home. Dapao's cooking skills were really only noodle porridge, and he himself couldn't stand it.
When they got home, Ningxia had just woken up in a daze. Ren Jingxiao waited for her to wash up and then gave her a big bun.
"I earned 1,942 yuan yesterday. Uncle Hu didn't ask for money for the things I bought. I put them all on the table. And that milk bottle, take a look and see if it's the one you want." Ren Jingxiao thought Ningxia's confused look was so cute.
Ningxia came to her senses instantly when she heard the word "bottle". She had seen it the last time she went to Jingshi Department Store. Ren Jingxiao said that Uncle Kun had bought it for them, so she didn't buy it at that time.
After she came back, she forgot about it. She thought that if she couldn't get it here, she would write a letter back and ask her grandmother to help buy one and send it to her.
Ningxia went into the house and saw these milk bottles. They were all made of glass. They were much heavier than the milk bottles of later generations and looked much sturdier.
"What are you going to do with the money?" Ningxia thought that since he brought those people with him, he should give some to them.
"I let them take the prey they hunted that day, and later I hunted all of it myself. But they also helped me carry it all the way, and I was planning to give them a little compensation, otherwise they would suffer if they followed me."
"I thought that giving Lu Hai and Liuzi a few people ten yuan each would be enough for the New Year. Gao Bowen has quite a few things, so how about giving him five yuan?" Ren Jingxiao thought about it and felt that this was just right.
