150: Were you beaten?
In fact, in the early years, when the Great Northern Wilderness was first being reclaimed, there were a large number of wild roe deer, and they lived in large groups. At that time, there was a saying, "Hit the roe deer with a stick, scoop the fish with a ladle, and the pheasant will fly into the pot," which was enough to prove the ecological environment of the Great Northern Wilderness at that time.
Later, large tracts of wasteland were reclaimed into farmland, and coupled with hunting by people, the number of wild animals began to decrease.
However, until the 1970s, the number of wild roe deer was still considerable, and roe deer meat was often sold on the market.
Roe deer meat is cheaper than pork and does not require a ticket, so if you can come across roe deer meat being sold it is a good opportunity to eat meat.
But Yu Xiaoye's luck was extremely good, she picked up a whole roe deer for free!
As my mood improved, I felt full of strength. I stepped harder and ran all the way. I soon arrived at the county town.
She first went to the black market by the river in the county town to scout the area in advance.
The area used for stalls now looks empty with few people around, but people who are familiar with this place know that it becomes a bustling market at night.
After choosing a place in advance, she rode her bicycle to the county town. She also wanted to check out the stores in the county town, inquire about the prices of shrimp paste and fish, and understand the market situation.
She went to a grocery store and asked if they had shrimp paste. The salesperson told her very coldly that they didn't have shrimp paste now and would only have it during the holidays, or that they would post a notice outside the store telling her when it was back in stock.
Yu Xiaoye asked again how the shrimp paste was sold and how much it cost per pound.
The salesperson became impatient and said that they had no shrimp paste and no shrimp paste, no matter how much per pound they sold it!
Yu Xiaoye was neither anxious nor angry. He just stood there and negotiated with the salesperson, asking again how much it cost per pound.
The salesperson was probably annoyed by the girl and spat out eighty cents.
80 cents per pound, quite expensive.
Wages are not high these days, but prices are quite high.
Eighty cents is almost the same price as pork. But when you think about it, a pound of shrimp paste can last for a long time. If you save it, it can last for a month without any problem. It doesn’t seem so outrageous.
Since it’s sold for 80 cents in the store, it wouldn’t be too much for her to sell it for one dollar on the black market, right?
Moreover, there is no purchase limit and no food coupons are required.
But she didn't have a scale, so she had to go back and find a way to weigh it.
After asking about the shrimp paste, she went to a vegetable store to inquire about the price of fish. She just asked but didn't buy anything. After asking around, she knew the price clearly and left.
She went to several state-owned stores to see what goods were available there and take a look in advance. When she made money, she would buy everything she wanted.
Try to buy things in state-owned stores if you can, and only buy things on the black market if you can't find them in stores.
Yu Xiaoye stood in front of each counter for a while and looked at everything on the counter.
Just as I was watching intently, a figure walked towards me.
Yu Xiaoye was about to step aside to make way when he suddenly heard a familiar voice asking:
"What's wrong with your face?"
Yu Xiaoye was slightly stunned. It was obvious that these words were directed at her, because there was a very conspicuous bruise on her left cheekbone.
She raised her head and saw that the person in front of her was Secretary Jiang.
Secretary Jiang went to the store to buy something and saw a petite girl among the crowd. At first, Secretary Jiang was attracted by the girl's clothes.
This is the work uniform on their farm. There is nothing special about it. Every farm worker has one.
But the difference was that the work clothes on the little girl had been modified at first glance, and the modification was very unique and actually looked pretty good, so Secretary Jiang couldn't help but take a few more glances.
When his eyes accidentally swept across the little girl's profile, Secretary Jiang realized that he knew this person. She was actually the daughter of the family that Director Zhou had bumped into before.
This girl actually came to the county town?
Moreover, after taking off the torn and ugly old cotton jacket and old cotton pants, the girl's temperament changed a lot. She looked pretty and delicate, and her face was much whiter and tenderer than before. She stood in front of the counter, staring at the shelves behind the counter with her bright eyes. The expression of "I can't afford it but I have to take a look" made people want to laugh.
Secretary Jiang didn't plan to greet Yu Xiaoye at first, but when Yu Xiaoye turned her head slightly, Secretary Jiang suddenly noticed the bruises on the girl's face.
Secretary Jiang’s first thought was: Was he beaten?
Secretary Jiang felt a surge of anger at the thought of such a delicate and lovely girl being bullied by some strong man, so he wanted to come over and find out what happened.
Yu Xiaoye looked up and saw Secretary Jiang and smiled:
"Secretary Jiang, what a coincidence?"
"Yeah, what a coincidence, what happened to your face?"
Yu Xiaoye didn't know how to answer this embarrassing question, and hesitated:
"Uh, it's okay, just a minor injury."
Secretary Jiang hesitated for a moment and asked:
"Was he beaten?"
Yu Xiaoye shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, I wasn't beaten—"
"If he wasn't beaten, could he have fallen down?"
Yu Xiaoye:? ? ?
How did he guess so accurately?
Having been guessed right at once, Yu Xiaoye had no choice but to nod and admit it:
"Yes, I fell down by myself."
When Secretary Jiang heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Yu Xiaoye's face flushed instantly. See, people are making fun of me, right? If I had known earlier, I would have said I was beaten. It wouldn't be so embarrassing if I was beaten!
Next time someone asks, just say that you were beaten!
She was beaten by her mother, by her father, by her brother, by her younger brother, and by gangsters - there could be many people who beat her, and no one really cared whether she was beaten or not, so she could make up whatever stories she wanted.
Just so stubborn!
Secretary Jiang saw that she was blushing, and probably didn't want to tell the truth, so he stopped asking and said casually:
"Are you here to buy something?"
"no
I just came here to look, not to buy."
"Okay, then you continue watching. I'm leaving first."
Before leaving, he reminded me:
"Well, be careful." Don't get beaten again.
Yu Xiaoye responded and Secretary Jiang left.
Secretary Jiang returned to the farm compound.
There is a row of three-story buildings in the compound, which are the farm's office buildings.
I went up to the third floor and came to the director's office. Someone from the finance department was sitting in the office, calculating the wages to be paid this month with the director Zhou Ziheng.
Mishan Farm has five branches, 46 companies, and currently has nearly 10,000 employees.
With so many employees, the monthly salary is a considerable amount, so calculating the salary is a complicated and tedious task.
After Secretary Jiang returned to the office, he sat next to Zhou Ziheng and helped organize the financial statements of each branch and company.
While sorting, Secretary Jiang whispered:
"Manager, I just met Yu Xiaoye in the store."
“——”
Zhou Ziheng did not react at all and continued to sign reports one after another, with the tip of his pen making a rustling sound as it rubbed against the paper.
But Secretary Jiang realized that Director Zhou wanted him to continue, so he continued:
"That girl has a wound on her face, it looks like she was beaten."
The rustling sound suddenly stopped.
