In order to run the hot pot restaurant this month, Liu Yanran lived in a house in the county. Of course, she actually lived in the big villa in the space every time, and then appeared in the hot pot restaurant in the morning with the dishes.
Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, Liu Yanran felt that it was time to buy a refrigerator so that the store could sell ice jelly and put some popsicles in it.
If she remembered correctly, Wanbao had already launched a household refrigerator in 1979, that small green refrigerator, but it was more expensive, about 2,000 to 4,000 yuan per unit, and you needed a ticket.
She has no shortage of money, but she really doesn't have any tickets. Well, the school definitely needs a refrigerator, and the food students eat must be kept fresh.
So Liu Yanran decided to go find her boss. She was doing this for her future bud, right? She got down to work right away. She asked Liu Pianran to help look after the store, and then she rode her bike back home.
Liu Yanran first went to see Political Commissar Wang. Of course, she bought a Daqianmen cigarette, a bag of brown sugar, 2 kilograms of egg cakes and 1 kilogram of biscuits from the supply and marketing cooperative, and also took out 2 bottles of Moutai from the space.
She had exchanged a lot of tobacco, alcohol and sugar supply tickets with others before, and bought a lot of Moutai of different years. She also bought a few bottles of 1958 Moutai from others at the price of 100 yuan per bottle, which would be worth millions later.
Liu Yanran went directly to Political Commissar Wang's house. She carried these things in a basket and covered it with a piece of cloth, so no one knew what was inside. Political Commissar Wang's wife, Yang Xiulan, was also surprised to see Liu Yanran. "Isn't this Yanran? Are you here to see your Uncle Wang today?"
Liu Yanran put her things down and said hello to Yang Xiulan. "Aunt Xiulan, I need to discuss some shopping with my Uncle Wang."
"Oh, then come in quickly, your Uncle Wang is in the study." Yang Xiulan said with a smile.
Liu Yanran smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Thank you, Auntie." After that, she walked towards the study.
Gently pushing open the study door, Political Commissar Wang was sitting at his desk, reading a newspaper intently. Hearing the voice, he looked up and saw that it was Liu Yanran. A warm smile appeared on his face, he put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and greeted her, "Yanran, you're here. Come sit down and tell me what you want to say."
Liu Yanran walked to the desk, smiled politely, then sat down and explained her purpose in detail. Political Commissar Wang listened quietly, frowned slightly, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After a while, he said, "Yanran, this refrigerator issue is indeed not easy to handle. After all, supplies are tight right now, and getting a refrigerator is not an easy task. And you still need several, but don't worry, since you came to me in person, I will definitely do my best to help you find a solution. But it may be only two at most, I need to discuss it with the higher-ups."
Liu Yanran was deeply grateful after hearing this and quickly stood up to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle Wang. It's great that you can help me find a solution. No matter what the result is, I will be very grateful to you."
Political Commissar Wang waved his hand, motioning for her to sit down, and continued, "How about this? I'll see if I can find some channels through my connections and try to help you get a refrigerator. But there's no guarantee it will work. It'll take time to contact and coordinate. Be prepared."
Liu Yanran nodded, expressing her understanding and willingness to wait patiently. The two then chatted about other topics in a harmonious atmosphere.
After bidding farewell to Political Commissar Wang and his family, Liu Yanran left his home. As she walked along, she felt a little uneasy, unsure if she could successfully obtain the refrigerator this time. But at the same time, she also firmly believed that Political Commissar Wang would do his best to help her solve this problem.
Everyone was very happy when Liu Yanran returned home, especially the children, who couldn't help drooling when they saw the candy in her hand.
As night falls, the lights come on.
Liu Yanran hummed a song as she prepared to go home, then suddenly remembered that she hadn't bought anything. It had been so long since she came back, and it seemed a bit unreasonable not to bring anything with her! Fortunately, it wasn't too late yet, and it was getting dark, so there weren't many people in the family compound.
Liu Yanran glanced around, confirmed that no one was around, and then slipped into the space. She used her phone to place an order for a roast duck, a pound of peanut candy, and a pound of corn candy, then took the items home.
Seeing her daughter back, looking thinner, Cao Cuilan's eyes nearly teared up. Though her daughter was slow to develop, she was incredibly capable, and her family's financial situation improved because of her. However, she herself had a hard time.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back for dinner? That way I could prepare more dishes." Cao Cuilan said.
Liu Yanran smiled as she took out the roast duck she had bought and replaced the disposable lunch box with oil paper. "Mom, give me another dish," she said, handing the roast duck to her mother.
As soon as the oil paper was opened, the aroma of roast duck wafted in. The nephews and nieces swallowed their saliva even more happily.
“It smells so good!”
"I want duck!"
“I want to eat too!”
As the eldest brother, Liu Yunfei couldn't help but say, "Auntie, Auntie, can we eat now?"
Cao Cuilan reacted and quickly pulled Liu Yanran to sit down, "Yes, Yanran, please sit down and eat first."
"Thanks, Mom. You cook a lot of dishes!"
"Hurry up and sit down and eat properly. Look how thin you have become."
Liu Yanran looked at the dishes on the table: green peppers and eggs, pickled fish, pork stewed with vermicelli, and winter melon and kelp soup. The staple foods were rice porridge and white flour buns. In fact, compared to other families, their meals were quite rich. Liu Yanran joined the group eating without hesitation.
"Wow, this roast duck is so delicious. Auntie, can you buy it back next time?"
