"Brother, you saw what happened just now. It's not that I didn't want your vegetables, it's just that the factory manager's brother-in-law wouldn't allow it."
"But don't worry, I definitely won't let you suffer any losses. The vegetables have already been delivered today, and I'll still collect the payment. The money has already been paid, so don't come again starting tomorrow."
Although Zhao Youcai was speechless, he didn't pay much attention to it.
It's as if he begged and pleaded with the textile factory to take his vegetables to save his life.
Although this era was characterized by collective economy, there were still performance comparisons between factories. If there were too many people with connections in a textile factory, it would definitely affect the overall efficiency of the factory.
This guy is acting recklessly today because the factory manager is his brother-in-law. He'll probably ruin the whole factory in the future.
...
Zhao Youcai's own farm produces vegetables of much higher quality than those on the market, so he has no trouble selling them.
He glanced at the rotten potatoes and cabbages that the cafeteria staff had just brought in, then looked at the purchasing director with a half-smile.
The purchasing manager had obviously also noticed that the vegetables brought in by the factory manager's brother-in-law were all misshapen and cracked.
Thinking back to how she had just said that the vegetables Zhao Youcai sent were not as good as those sent by the factory director's brother-in-law, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
He coughed lightly, then took out a few receipts from his pocket.
"Brother, I won't let you make this trip for nothing. Consider this my compensation to you. Please accept it."
To the purchasing director's surprise, the old man in front of him didn't even glance at the receipts he had taken out, completely ignoring them.
"Forget it, since the director doesn't like the vegetables I grow, how can I possibly take your vote?"
Zhao Youcai's words seemed self-deprecating, but the purchasing director was so embarrassed by the situation that his face burned with shame.
Anyone with eyes could see what was going on. In addition, the vegetables that Zhao Youcai brought were all fresh and crisp, while the vegetables that the factory manager's brother-in-law brought were not only expensive but also mostly rotten leaves.
So to him, Zhao Youcai's words were a blatant slap in the face.
But what could he say? He could only blame himself for not daring to offend the factory manager's brother-in-law, for lying through his teeth, and for choosing inferior vegetables against his conscience.
What a sin!
Zhao Youcai turned and walked out, not even giving the purchasing director a second glance. He'd rather go home and do something else than waste his time arguing.
Looking at the handcart he had borrowed from the steel mill, Zhao Youcai decided that he didn't need it for the time being.
Firstly, he no longer needed to supply vegetables to the textile factory; he could simply get up early and place the vegetables at the steel factory gate at a time when no one was paying attention.
Secondly, pushing a shopping cart home would definitely arouse suspicion, which would be difficult to explain.
It's better to take advantage of the early hour and return the cart to the steel mill. Then hurry home. The breakfast stall should have enough money to upgrade, and the tailor shop in the cheat system should unlock automatically.
I was originally planning to say hello to the purchasing director of the steel plant, but when I got to the purchasing department, I learned that Zhao Yanfeng had asked for leave today and left work early.
Zhao Youcai entered the black market with a vegetable basket on his shoulder. After squatting for a while, he sold all the red bean buns and some vegetables stored in the warehouse, earning another fifteen yuan.
I happily strolled around the black market, bought two thermos flasks that didn't require tickets, and then, carrying my basket, started my journey home again.
Zhao Youcai wasn't so lucky today. He waited for ages but couldn't get a ride on an oxcart, so he had to take "bus number 11" back home.
He traveled on and off, upgrading his breakfast shop during breaks and depositing twenty yuan at the farm for seed purchases. Zhao Youcai was exhausted again.
I earned over forty yuan, and after upgrading and buying seeds in [Happy Town], I only have eight yuan and thirteen cents left.
This money really doesn't last long!
Fortunately, prices here are not high; eight yuan can last for a while without having to touch the family's savings.
As for the changes to the upgraded breakfast shop and the newly unlocked tailor shop, Zhao Youcai didn't waste time studying them on the way.
After walking for a while, Zhao Youcai also felt a bit tired.
Thinking back to before I traveled through time, I used to travel by car everywhere I went, and I never suffered like this.
"Looks like I'll have to buy a car sometime when I have the chance," Zhao Youcai muttered to himself.
"Well, in this era, you can probably only buy a bicycle, but you need a bicycle ticket, so you'll have to figure out a way to get one."
When Zhao Youcai arrived home, he found his eldest son's wife and fourth son's wife busy in the vegetable garden, while his eldest grandson and granddaughter were doing their homework very obediently.
At this time, his sons should still be working in the production team.
Zhao Youcai was pleased; this family finally looked like a proper family. But as soon as he turned around, a large face suddenly appeared, right in front of Zhao Youcai.
Zhao Youcai reacted instinctively and threw a punch. A loud "ow!" was heard, and the voice was all too familiar.
Then they heard the familiar ghostly scream of the third brother.
"He murdered his own son! Zhao Youcai beat his son to death!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai's temples throbbed violently.
He knew that his unreliable third son wouldn't stay in the fields and earn work points.
Zhao Youcai naturally wouldn't tolerate this bastard. Seeing his third son howling in place, he raised his leg and kicked him in the butt.
"Howl louder, and I hope you'll attract the wolves from the mountains so they can carry you away and make you their food, so you won't keep causing me trouble all day long."
The third brother, Zhao Jianhua, didn't dare to cause too much trouble, after all, he had sneaked out of the fields today and felt a little guilty.
Zhao Jianhua fell silent and quickly put on a smiling face.
He originally wanted to take the basket from Zhao Youcai, but Zhao Youcai refused. He hurriedly raised his hands, clenched them into fists, and gently patted Zhao Youcai's back.
