The source of goods is simple. Just find the manufacturers and place orders based on the products currently available on the market.
Fresh vegetables were specially delivered by someone, and Lao Li also brought in a lot of them.
There is no need to rush these things, as it is still early and we should accumulate experience slowly.
The population explosion will not be that fast. It will take a few years for the difficult period to pass, and then a wave of people will flee to Hong Kong, and more talents will come.
It also began to officially prosper, and it seemed that Jia Youcai would move in and live here permanently.
After the Chinese New Year in 1954, Jia Youcai returned to Beijing and went to see Lao Li.
Don’t say that Lao Li is very independent now. He set up a few small factories and sells the products directly to Kowloon Walled City. It’s as if the border defense does not exist and people can come and go freely.
The original residents here could travel between the two sides, and later many people held ID cards from both sides, but they still didn't get into trouble.
This is not the Internet age. As long as there are connections, no one will care if the emperor is far away.
After returning to 1949, Jia Youcai became a man again, but a good man, without any burden and free from worries.
The private sector has become bustling. There are people on the street in every store, publicizing policies door to door and actively encouraging merchants to engage in private sector cooperation.
Unified purchase and sale was started last year, and the rationed supply of grain has been tried out by dividing the area, fixing the locations and supplying with vouchers.
Some grain merchants took advantage of the loopholes and purchased grain for profit, but the result was naturally that they all went bankrupt.
Can you imagine that the government's credibility was not that strong at that time, and businesses were much bolder.
However, Jia Youcai didn't care whether the quantity was fixed or not. Not only did he have remittance coupons in his hand, but his space was also filled with good ingredients purchased from Hong Kong.
It's just a pity for Comrade Yang who is sitting in front of me. He is the director of such a big factory, managing thousands of people, but he can't even eat any good food.
There are standards for reception in the factory. Although you, the factory director, can make money, it all has to be handed over to the national treasury.
Supplies are in short supply now, and grain is allocated according to the number of people. Old Yang's life now is not as good as when he was growing vegetables in the countryside.
We went to the cafeteria for dinner as usual, and then came to the tavern, where we saw Jia Youcai coming back with a lot of good stuff.
Jia Youcai insisted on treating the guests and even invited Wang Xiulan to come as well.
Jia Youcai didn't say anything. He called Nan Yi over and prepared a table full of delicious food to entertain them.
Lao Yang and Wang Xiu Lan looked at the table full of seafood, most of which they didn't recognize.
Nan Yi has to introduce it to me again. Nan Yi's family used to run a restaurant, and he has seen all these things.
Looking at the few people who were full of food and wine, Jia Youcai, who had only eaten a little, put down his wine glass and asked with a smile.
"How is it? It's okay. These things are not easy to make with Nan Yi's craftsmanship. It's not easy to make them now.
I tell you, this is the standard of Lao Li’s life nowadays. If you don’t believe me, ask him when you see him in the future.
When I came back, I went to see Lao Li specifically.
I listened to him complaining that he was tired of eating abalone and shark fin, and just missed the douzhi in Beijing.
Come, come and tell me, is this what a human being would say?"
Old Yang looked unconvinced and asked Jia Youcai in a skeptical tone.
"Don't lie to me, kid. Don't think I don't know what shark fin is. In the past, wasn't it only the emperor in the palace who could afford to eat it?
I'm tired of eating it. Don't fool me because you think I'm ignorant.
Jia Youcai laughed heartily: "That's all outdated. Don't you see what we do?
Not only do we have cargo ships at home, we also have fishing boats specifically for long-distance voyages. How could we be missing this little thing?
Old Li exchanges the vegetables with me, don’t you believe it?
Look at Lao Li, and look at you. We both grow vegetables, but he eats abalone and shark fin, while you eat cornmeal steamed bread. How can there be such a huge difference?
