Chapter 54 Return to Qixingao
The woman said these words happily.
Zhao Yi didn't quite understand what the other party meant. He was currently a maintenance master at Shanyang County Department Store. It wouldn't be easy if he wanted to work in the city, but it would be much simpler than changing from an agricultural worker to a non-agricultural worker.
After chatting briefly with the woman, Zhao Yi pretended to fall asleep. Talking too much is not always a good thing.
If I said something wrong and offended someone, I would not know how I got into trouble. The person in front of me does not look simple. With the current conditions, he can use a washing machine at home, and he knows the information of the repairman in Shanyang County at the first time. No matter how I look at it, I think that he is not simple.
Two hours passed quickly and it was dark when the car arrived in the city.
"Comrades staying in the guesthouse, please register here."
As soon as the car stopped, a staff member shouted.
Zhao Yi walked to the registration office with the letter of introduction, tore open the Daqianmen cigarette in his hand, and smoked a circle of cigarettes.
The other party checked the letter of introduction, then wrote out a form and handed it to Zhao Yi.
Based on the information in the other party's words, Zhao Yi found the guesthouse in a short while.
"Single room 201 upstairs, 50 cents a night, breakfast is provided in the morning, go to the cafeteria to eat, this is the kettle with boiling water."
After checking the documents and letter of introduction, the other party handed Zhao Yi a key and a thermos.
Zhao Yi didn't expect that a circle of cigarettes would force him to stay in a single room. If he was unlucky, it might be a room for four people.
After a night's rest, Zhao Yi got up early, ate a steamed bun and drank a bowl of porridge in the canteen of the guesthouse, and then walked to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, ah! You're wearing a worker's uniform. Where do you work now?"
Deng Min was slightly surprised when she saw Zhao Yi wearing brand new work clothes.
"Working as a maintenance worker in the county department store."
Zhao Yi scratched his head and said.
"Master Xiao Zhao, I didn't realize you had this skill. I thought you went to that canteen to be the chef. After all, we all know your skills."
Deng Min was really surprised this time.
Zhao Yi taught them how to cook fish and loach, and they tasted especially good every time.
I thought Zhao Yi was chosen by the leader to be the chef in the cafeteria, but I didn't expect that he was actually a maintenance worker. Maintenance workers are extremely scarce nowadays and there are only a few of them in the city.
"I learned from others for a few months and now I am considered a master. They recommended me to work in the department store."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Here are this month's scraps of cloth. By the way, Master Zhao, can you still send us loaches in the future?"
Deng Min looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
When these words were spoken, everyone pricked up their ears. Zhao Yi is a worker now, and he will definitely not have so much time to deliver things in the future.
"Don't worry about that. As long as you want to eat it, I will find someone to bring it to you. I have to come to get the scraps of cloth on the first of every month, but I won't run as often as before."
Zhao Yi smiled.
Loaches can still be caught before the fields freeze. If I don’t have time, my father-in-law does.
"Well, can you send us six pounds of loach and bacon every month?"
Deng Min asked in a low voice.
"No problem. The day after tomorrow, I'll ask my father-in-law to come over. He came with me to deliver raisins last time, and he will deliver raisins next time."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Okay, I know that you are very loyal, Master Zhao. Then let's make a deal."
Deng Min said happily, and then took Zhao Yi to the state-owned restaurant to treat Zhao Yi to buns.
Unable to persuade Deng Min, Zhao Yi had to eat a steamed bun, then returned to the bus station and took the first bus back to Shanyang County.
As soon as Zhao Yi returned to his residence, a salesperson from a department store led Zhang Fusheng to Zhao Yi's temporary dormitory.
"Hello comrade, this is Master Zhao Yi, you guys chat."
The salesperson naturally also saw Zhao Yi and knew that Zhao Yi had taken a leave of absence from work today. After saying that, he walked back to the department store.
"dad."
Zhao Yi saw Zhang Fusheng and smiled.
"Thank you for helping lead the way, comrade."
Zhao Yi and Zhang Fusheng both thanked the salesperson who led the way.
"It's okay, we are all colleagues."
The salesperson waved his hand.
Originally, she didn't care about such things, and would not help anyone to lead the way. Few of the sales clerks in department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, as well as the ticket sellers on the bus, had good tempers.
It was just that we found out at the meeting this morning that Zhao Yi had asked for leave to help everyone get welfare, and that was meat, which was something that few of us could eat.
"Let's talk inside."
Zhao Yi led his father-in-law into the house.
Zhang Jing was listening to the radio and didn't hear any noise outside the house. She only got up and opened the door when she heard Zhao Yi knocking on the door.
When he saw Zhao Yi and his father Zhang Jing, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Dad, if you don't come today, I have to go back. Now I'm working here, and I won't be able to take care of the city supply and marketing cooperative in the future. I tell you, don't underestimate loaches and wild boar meat. The profit is not low every time you send them over.
But be careful in doing things and often buy some gifts and visit the captain's house. ”
Zhao Yi talked about some things with Zhang Fusheng.
Zhang Fusheng was a little surprised when he heard that the profit for one trip was almost half and half.
"When you go there to deliver something, just give them a few pounds. They will thank you in their hearts. You can also bring some things to the patrol teams on the road occasionally. It is important to build good relationships with them."
Zhao Yi explained solemnly.
Many people are reluctant to part with some small gadgets, and in the end they are the ones who suffer.
"knew."
Zhang Fusheng nodded, and then had breakfast at Zhao Yi's house. Then the two of them rushed back to the commune. Qixingao and Wangou Village were not in the same direction, so Zhao Yi took his father-in-law to Qixingao first.
Saw Zhao Yi entering the village.
Uncle Shen laughed so hard that his gums showed.
There is no shortage of meat in the mountains, but there is a shortage of money. Zhao Yi buys a lot of meat every time he comes, which makes Uncle Shen very happy and solves the problem of Qixingao not being able to sell meat.
My father-in-law didn't bring much money, so Zhao Yi helped to advance the money for buying meat. There were six people in the supply and marketing cooperative, including Director Peng. Zhao Yi asked his father-in-law to buy 42 kilograms, and gave one kilogram to each person for free.
Anyway, a piece of pork worth 40 cents will only cost 79 cents. How can I make money while making the other party feel that I am getting the better deal?
There are more than a dozen sales clerks in the department store where Zhao Yi works. There are four floors, and there are several sales clerks on each floor. Together with the director and logistics staff, there are almost twenty people in total.
Zhao Yi bought nearly 100 kilograms of pork.
"Comrade Zhao, do you come here to purchase goods once a month?"
Uncle Shen looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"That's about right."
Zhao Yi nodded.
"Then I understand. I'll tell the young men in the village to hunt more wild boars. These dried chickens are for Comrade Zhao. You can take them back and eat them."
Uncle Shen said with a smile.
Zhao Yi bought nearly twenty dried chickens by himself, and the few remaining chickens in the village were given to Zhao Yi by Uncle Shen.
"How can this be so embarrassing."
Zhao Yi waved his hands quickly.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. This isn't the first time we've dealt with each other."
Uncle Shen forced the thing into the urea bag brought by Zhao Yi.
