Upon hearing this, He Wan's eyes darted around. Well, making money is risky, isn't it?
At this point, it's all about being bold.
As she ran, her pace slowed down. When the man rode alongside her on his bicycle, she asked, "What did you mean just now? Explain yourself."
Although the two were running side by side, He Wan didn't stop, and the man didn't dare to stop either. After hearing her ask him, he looked around and whispered, "I'm a purchasing agent at the farmers' market. You were just at that... cough cough, that's my neighbor, their house..." His expression was indescribable at the end. It seemed that the neighbors were quite hostile towards that family because they worked at that company.
"You're at the farmers' market, you go to the farms, the commune, or the production brigade to buy things, what do you want from me?"
The young man chuckled: "We'll go too, but our county has a lot of people and factories, but little land, and we're short of rice and flour. I saw that the flour you have looks good. I wanted to ask where you got it. We'd like to go and take a look."
"Of course, don't worry, we won't take your information for nothing. We can give you an enamel mug, or some ration coupons, how about that?"
He Wan gave him a disapproving look and said, "Let me see your work ID."
The young man scratched his head awkwardly: "I'm off work now, and I don't carry this with me. But if you don't believe me, I can get our manager over, and you can ask him."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, and even if he was, she wasn't afraid of him, so she said, "How much do you want? I have some here."
The man exclaimed with delight, "Really?"
"Tell me about it?"
"We need some rice and a lot of flour."
He Wan rolled her eyes speechlessly and stopped in her tracks: "Comrade, you must be new to the workforce, right? Could you give me a specific number?"
The man scratched his head shyly again: "I can't make that decision; I have to ask our minister."
He Wan felt like she had been played. She had had the worst day ever and didn't want to argue with him, so she turned around and left.
"Hey, hey, don't go, comrade. You know, this kind of transaction can't be done openly. This really needs to be reported to my minister."
Seeing that he was relentlessly pursuing her, and also tired tonight and not wanting to drive, He Wan said, "Alright, go back and ask your minister."
"Okay, comrade, how can I contact you?"
"This place will do. I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, okay, I'll be back in half an hour. Please don't leave, please don't leave." The man said with joy as he turned his bike around, still worried that He Wan might leave.
After he walked away, He Wan checked the time; it was already past seven.
Taking advantage of the absence of others, he slipped into the space. When he came out, he found it completely dark and heard the sound of cars.
He Wan called out, "Old Yun?"
However, the sound from inside the carriage couldn't reach the driver's seat, so he had to give up and return to his room.
I checked the space and there's still quite a bit of white flour and rice left.
There aren't many others.
Upon arriving in the mountain city, I planned to see what good things were available there and acquire some more.
The man said he'd arrive in half an hour, but he came back in twenty minutes with a man in his forties, all in a hurry.
The minister, who was sitting in the car seat, must have been quite shaken off. After getting off, he took a few breaths, looked around, and said to Xiao Huo beside him with dissatisfaction, "What's wrong with you? Don't you have a brain? You dare to hire people like this? No wonder people don't trust you."
The young man pursed his lips and said, "He said he'd wait for me."
"Or should I just say you don't have a brain?"
“I know it’s unreliable, but we have to give it a try. Our county is facing a severe food shortage this year, and the little grain we’ve harvested is simply not enough to distribute.”
"Well, this is something for the higher-ups to worry about. We'll try to get it if we can, and if we can't, we'll just have to wait."
