Extra: Chu Hong 4
Sure enough, after Gu Ci and his companions returned, the party secretaries and team leaders from four other villages came and all spoke well and begged Gu Ci for help.
This situation made Gu Ci worried. The chicken and duck eggs and chickens and ducks could not be loaded into one truck.
The village still has yellow mud roads that are not only uneven but also large trucks cannot drive in.
Therefore, after weighing and accounting, we asked everyone to boil water overnight and slaughter and pluck all the chickens, ducks and geese.
Chicken blood and duck blood are both good things nowadays, so we distributed them to the villagers.
Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature outside is several degrees below zero, so we don’t have to worry about the slaughtered chickens, ducks and geese stinking.
They don't even cut open the stomachs of the animals. They just kill them and pluck out the hair. Then they put the animals into large baskets padded with rice ash and straw. The villagers then have ox carts to push the carts to transport the food to the main road outside to wait for trucks.
Grandpa and grandma Song are old and don’t want to go out, so they celebrate the New Year with Uncle Song’s family.
When Secretary Song and Wu Xiu heard Gu Ci privately say that he had bought a house there, they went with Gu Ci to take a look. Their main purpose was to persuade Chu Hong not to be so bold. It was not possible to buy a house worth more than 5,000 yuan just like that. Their family savings were far from 1,000 yuan.
I also want to advise Old Chu and the others not to agree to everything Chu Hong asks for, as he is worried that he cannot afford to support his daughter.
They knew Chu Hong was brave, but now that they knew Chu Hong had borrowed 4,000 yuan from Lao Chu, they were still scared.
It feels like they will never make that much money in their entire lives.
The truck drove directly to the gate. Song Mingxuan heard the noise and ran out, shouting excitedly: "Mom, come out quickly, Dad is back in the truck."
After saying that, he saw Secretary Song helping Wu Xiu down and rushing over like a cannonball: "Ah, grandpa and grandma are here too."
He was mostly taken care of by his grandparents since he was a child. Now that he hasn't seen them for a year, he naturally misses them very much.
Song Dongzheng and Jiang Mingche also hurried out to say hello, and then got busy unloading the goods.
He knew that Gu Ci was coming back today, so he came here specially to wait for help.
After unloading and moving into the house and seeing the truck driver off, Party Secretary Song couldn't help but ask about the house.
Chu Hong explained it to them, and after hearing their bland reproaches, Gu Ci quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Mom and Dad, this is not Chu Hong's fault. It was actually my idea. I felt that the school accommodation was a bit crowded."
Chu Dan wanted to listen to her parents talking about her second sister, after all, such an opportunity was rare. Unexpectedly, her second brother-in-law rushed to admit his fault, and she couldn't help but spoil it: "Second brother-in-law, your ability to take the blame has become more and more powerful over the years. It can be said that you have reached perfection and reached the pinnacle. No one can surpass you."
Gu Ci would not spoil her, he just sneered: "You study very hard, don't you? Whatever books you read, you can apply what you have learned."
The book he was reading must be a piece of idle reading. Chu Dan didn't dare to say anything.
Song Dongzheng had to protect his wife by himself, so he said, "Mom and Dad, we'll go back first and come back to help tomorrow."
Now that the school is on vacation, they have some free time.
Secretary Song gave each of them a backpack: "Inside are chicken, duck, goose, pork and rabbit meat. They have been rubbed with salt and can be kept for another day or two. You can pickle them with salt and eat them slowly."
"Ordinarily, we should go meet our in-laws, but these things haven't been sold yet, so we can only wait for two days before meeting them."
When Jiang Mingche received it, he almost lost his grip because it was so heavy. He was touched by the Yue family's honesty: "Dad's affairs are more important. Anyway, you guys are staying for the New Year, so you will have plenty of time to meet each other."
"That's right." Song Dongzheng was also very sweet: "My parents will probably faint with joy when they see so much meat."
It is difficult to buy meat with coupons now, and the price of meat on the black market is expensive. If we have so much meat, not only can we have a good New Year, but we can also eat it for a while next year, right?
Fresh meat is delicious, but bacon, cured chicken and cured duck also have their own unique flavor.
Early the next morning, Chu Hong and Gu Ci went around the residential buildings they had visited before and told everyone where chickens, ducks and geese were for sale.
In addition, my brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and Uncle Chu were promoting the business privately, so when Chu Hong came back on her bike, she saw people all over the door.
Even though there was a wooden sign outside advertising the sale of agricultural and sideline products, this was not a proper supply and marketing cooperative after all. People who heard the news and came to buy products did not dare to speak loudly and looked around vigilantly, as if they were afraid that someone would rush over and arrest them.
Chu Hong wanted to squeeze in, but the people in front of her were alert and complained in a low voice: "Why are you squeezing? Line up consciously."
Chu Hong raised her smiling face and said, "Sisters-in-law, please lend me a hand. I am a salesperson and an accountant."
Hearing her words, they immediately made way and pushed her in: "Why are you so late? Hurry up."
Not only are they afraid that they won’t be able to buy, they’re also afraid that it won’t be their turn once the products are sold out.
Everyone is thinking about buying it as soon as possible so that they can go back and tell their family members or relatives and friends.
Although the price here is a little higher than that sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, you don’t need a ticket here, so it’s much more affordable than at the supply and marketing cooperative.
They are all worried that their family members will buy it on the black market and be taken advantage of.
Chu Hong squeezed to the front and saw Grandpa Chu blocking the door, letting four people in at a time. After some people came out after buying their things, some more went in.
The Chu Dan couple have already arrived, and are weighing chickens, ducks and geese with my parents.
Chu Yan and Chu Chu Xiao Yuer just settle accounts and collect money.
Chu Hong also hurried to help.
There are no plastic bags now, so everyone comes with their own baskets. Those who want to buy chicken and duck eggs pick them out and put them in the baskets. Chu Hong counts the eggs and then collects the money: "Eggs are 6 cents each, duck eggs are 7 cents each, so everyone handles them with care."
It’s two cents more expensive than their purchase price.
In addition, each village was given an extra twenty chicken and duck eggs to make up for those damaged on the way.
Some people also asked worriedly: "The market now sells live chickens, ducks and geese, why are you killing them all? Are they sick poultry?"
Secretary Song showed everyone the stamped note on the wall: "Look at this stamped note. This batch of chickens, ducks and geese were specially sent here to supply the city for the New Year."
"We actually don't want to kill them, as it's too much trouble, but our leader insisted that we kill them so that it would be easier to transport them."
"How many can be transported in one truck?"
"Besides, we will continue to supply it during festivals in the future."
In fact, at the beginning, Secretary Song didn't want it to happen next time. It was too troublesome and he had to worry about it.
But seeing so many people coming to buy, I thought that the purchase price was 0.6 cents per pound, and the selling price was 1.2 yuan per pound.
This is already half the price, I am so excited.
Seeing that it could be sold like this, he decided to come back next time.
Of course, it was gross weight at the time.
It can remove the blood and hair of poultry, but if it is not cleaned thoroughly, not much weight will be lost.
This time, I made a lot of money.
After finishing this round of work, Grandma Chu quickly invited them to have breakfast: "I have steamed buns, boiled eggs, and porridge. Come and eat now while no one is around."
