Chapter 195 Scarce Supplies



Therefore, Qiao San is a man who is very aware of the times and has a good sense of propriety, which is why Ji Xia finds it very convenient to use him.

Ji Xia was not the type of person who would say "Why not eat meat porridge?" The reason she asked was because she saw that Qiao San seemed to be quite idle recently. Shouldn't it be a very busy time before the end of the year?

"I got some good stuff from Sister Xia earlier, but I thought there wouldn't be many buyers here, so I took it all to the provincial capital. We're mainly short of grain, oil, rice, and flour here, and we used to get those from places we shouldn't have.

Now that we're with Sister Xia, we don't dare to go down those paths anymore. If we keep going back and forth, we'll have no source of goods and no market."

What Qiao San said was all true. They had a wide range of sources of information. Many people in Bing County didn't know who Ji Xia was, not even the people in Jijia Village, but Qiao San knew something.

It’s hard to say whether he regrets dealing with Ji Xia now, but Qiao San is definitely afraid, fearing that he will do something to displease Ji Xia and be wiped out by Ji Xia.

Besides, he made a lot of money by getting those goods from Ji Xia, so there was no need for him to ruin himself for a little profit.

"Where did you get the goods from before?" Ji Xia asked with a frown.

Qiao San thought to himself, as expected!

He didn't dare to hide it, "Most of the rice, flour, and oil were obtained from the commune's grain station, and the rest were collected from the local people."

Ji Xia knew without Qiao San saying anything that the people at the grain station were probably stealing from the company.

She said "hmm" and didn't care much about this matter. After all, she was not a civil servant. Even if she was, everyone in the world was pursuing profit. As long as it was not done by her own people, she could not care about it.

"I have the goods, so just take them from me. There's no need to go along with those people and only feed their greed. I'm giving you the goods and allowing you to do this because there's a real shortage of supplies right now, and ordinary people can't buy food or daily necessities even if they have money. I'm not trying to undermine national rules, do you understand?"

Ji Xia's voice was sharp. She had a cold aura that could not be ignored. Once she raised her voice, she was very imposing.

Qiao San and Chen Dadong broke out in cold sweats. They stood up and said, "Yes!"

"Okay, follow me and do your job well. I will definitely give you a way out in the future. If I find out that you have done something bad, you should know what I will do!" Ji Xia was about to leave, so he stood up and said with his hands behind his back.

Qiao San said hurriedly, "Yes, Sister Xia, I promise we will never do anything illegal."

"Okay, I'll store the goods at the old place. At four o'clock this afternoon, you and your men will go to pick them up. I'll leave some for you. The county was short of supplies before the New Year, so this is a good opportunity for you to earn some money and have a relaxing New Year."

Ji Xia has always been generous to his own people.

Qiao San knew he had found the right person and was very happy. "Thank you, Sister Xia!"

"Also, in the future, if there is any news in the county that is unfavorable to me, remember to tell me in time, and be vigilant against anyone who seems to be wrong!" Ji Xia instructed.

This time, Chen Dadong took Ji Xia directly to Qiao San's house. She came out of Qiao San's house and went to the county party committee.

Qiao San and Chen Dadong accompanied her all the way, but did not dare to get close to her. They watched her enter the county party committee compound, and then they went back wiping their sweat.

Along the way, Qiao San's legs were shaking.

I was excited but also nervous.

Until now, Qiao San himself is still a little puzzled. He is a black market scumbag, but he actually recognized a boss. Isn't that weird?

He Xiangdong heard the news and ran over quickly. He didn't see Sister Xia, and he felt a little disappointed. He asked, "Boss, is there something wrong?"

"Well, let the brothers get ready. Sister Xia understands that we have no money to spend during the New Year, so she sent us some money. You go and raise some money first. We will be ready to go and pick up the goods at 3:30 in the afternoon." Qiao San said.

The people under his command were as wary of Ji Xia as he was. After all, as someone with close ties to the military, and with Sister Xia's murderous aura, no one would dare to turn against her unless they were fearless.

Qiao San is no longer afraid that his subordinates will rebel. To put it bluntly, he is just a person who does odd jobs for Sister Xia.

Qiao San has basically withdrawn from the black market here, and he no longer touches those small markets. There is retreat and there is progress.

In the past, You Liqun and Qiao San were competing for supremacy. After Qiao San withdrew, You Liqun became the next in line. Without competition, You Liqun became the only one dominating the black market.

Originally, when buying and selling, the buyer only needed to spend two cents and the seller had to pay five cents. Now it is no longer like this. The buyer has to spend three cents and the seller has to pay ten cents.

It is extremely difficult for those who have to go to the black market.

However, the supply and marketing cooperative is not omnipotent. There are only a few tickets issued every month, and the goods are not much. Sometimes, in order to buy meat, you can't wait to line up in the early morning. If you go too late, you can't buy it even if you have a ticket.

Therefore, the black market has solved some problems to a certain extent, which shows that what exists is reasonable.

After Ji Xia joined the county committee, she called Qin Xiao and asked him to make arrangements to deliver the supplies. She didn't plan to make any money, so she was just going to symbolically take four or five thousand yuan.

There are too many supplies in her space, and now she has a farm. The crops grown there are irrigated by spiritual springs and are much more delicious than those outside. The stockpiled grain and oil are even less valuable to Ji Xia.

She needs to make some space.

Qin Xiao didn't ask her where she got the supplies from, he just told her to be careful and not to worry about the troops receiving the supplies, he would make arrangements.

After agreeing, Qin Xiao went to Liang Zihua's office and said, "Commander, I got some supplies from a friend. Do you want them?"

These days, there is no one who is not involved in speculation. If the army were not better at hunting than the common people, they would probably buy wild boars from the common people like those factories.

"Yes, yes, of course!" Liang Zihua knew what was going on and patted Qin Xiao, "You're a good guy!"

Marrying such a good wife will help them solve so many problems.

"Then prepare 10,000 yuan. Around five in the afternoon, someone will deliver the supplies. One hand will pay, and the other hand will give the goods." Qin Xiao was straightforward. He asked Ji Xia how much it cost. Ji Xia said four or five thousand yuan. He had to ask for more for his wife.

Liang Zihua trusted Qin Xiao too much and didn't ask what the goods were. He just arranged for the logistics department to prepare the money and receive the goods when the time came.

On the logistics side, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the supplies from above have arrived. Now the whole country is focusing on the troops first, and then some special talents, but the big rivers are not full, and the small rivers cannot rise no matter what, so supplies are still in short supply.

The logistics department was in a state of panic, but when the division commander said that supplies were arriving, they were so happy that a big problem at the end of the year was solved.
