"Son, this bag is full of eggs?"
"Well, just bring twenty over tomorrow. There are four chickens here, so take three. Tell Director Gao that it's a little less and ask him to excuse it. Just give him fifty yuan."
"What's there to be surprised about? We've already given him such rare eggs and chickens. If he's still not satisfied, he's probably thinking about going to heaven!"
Ye Zhiqiu curled her lips. Wang Xiaolan only dared to say such things at home. If she were in front of Director Gao, she wouldn't even dare to fart loudly!
Ye Tianya rubbed his hands and asked happily, "Son, can we eat the remaining chicken ourselves?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Of course, we've come across this good stuff. They're all old hens, so juicy and rich! Mom, you can stew them tonight. I'm craving chicken too."
Wang Xiaolan nodded and said with emotion: "It would be great if we could raise chickens, otherwise we would have eggs to pick up every day!
When we first came to the city, we raised five laying hens. We had no shortage of eggs then! But now, you can’t even buy eggs if you want to…”
There's no way to talk about this. Back then, I had the purchasing agent's job to cover it up, but now I don't have that condition anymore.
Ye Zhiqiu was not going to go through so much trouble. It would be better to get these things back from the space when he needed them.
Ye Tianya didn't think about this. He just said happily: "Hey, old hens are good! They are chewy and delicious! My son is the best. After he came back, our family's quality of life has skyrocketed!"
Wang Xiaolan said angrily, "Eat, eat, eat. You've been thinking about this all day. Why don't you put these things in the kitchen? Son, it's late. Go to bed early. They've all gone to bed. We'll go to bed after putting things away."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, walked back to his room, and began to take off his various warm clothing. It was over 20 degrees below zero, which was really cold. If he didn't wear something thicker, he would easily catch a cold or a fever.
He crawled into the bed and soon felt warm. Ye Zhiqiu thought about his next arrangements.
Actually, there is nothing to say about the work. I will have to go to work every day from now on, and it will not be as comfortable as when I was a buyer.
When the snow subsides and it becomes easier to go back and forth, I should also go to the Feng family more often. After all, this is the time when we are most intimate, and we can't let distance affect our feelings.
Also, I should take some time to find Xu Tiejun and see if there is any chance to sell him a batch of rabbits. Otherwise, there will be more and more rabbits in the space, but there will be nowhere to take them out.
If you go to the pigeon market to resell, there is no problem in selling a few hundred pigeons a month, and it won’t be particularly conspicuous. But if you sell more, it won’t work, and the risk is too great.
As he was thinking, Ye Zhiqiu put his thoughts into the space. Seeing the rabbits appearing everywhere and chewing grass carefreely, he felt particularly angry. Why are these things so difficult to deal with?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he had an idea: catch hundreds of wild rabbits and quickly put them in bubbles in the sky!
Putting his thoughts back to reality, he closed his eyes and slowly fell into sleep.
Far away, Fang Wenhai accidentally got his leg hit by a machine! It caused a very serious fracture. After the doctor examined him, he felt that he could only recover if he was sent to Beijing for treatment.
After approval, Fang Wenhai was arranged to go through the transfer procedures and was sent back to Beijing for treatment. He would be arranged for work after he was completely recovered!
Just like that, this man who had broken his leg and gritted his teeth without shedding a tear, couldn't help but shed tears while singing songs with everyone at the farewell party for his comrades.
"Squad leader, remember to look for Xiaoye when you get to the capital!"
"Yes, Xiao Ye said that we should go to him in the capital and he will provide us with food and drink!"
"Haha, okay, I'll go scout the way for the brothers first and see if Xiaoye's boast can come true..."
After waking up, Ye Zhiqiu got dressed and prepared to wash up, but found that there was no more snow in the yard. The snow had finally stopped!
Wang Xiaolan and her husband were already cooking in the kitchen. Ye Zhiqiu greeted them and asked, "Dad, are you going to work today?"
Ye Tianya shook his head and said, "No, the factory said they will arrange someone to notify us when the time comes."
Ye Zhiqiu remembered what Wang Fugui said. If all the cars were requisitioned, their brewery might have to stop production for longer days because their factory was more dependent on cars.
Just when Ye Zhiqiu was thinking about whether to go to Feng Xiaomei's house, Li Xingwu came over!
"Brother Li, please sit down! It's so cold, and you actually came here on a bicycle. The wind must be very cold!"
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. To be honest, my brother is getting married tomorrow. We had originally booked the date long ago. But now, the situation is like this, all the things I originally ordered are gone! So I shamelessly came here to ask if you could help me get something..."
Li Wubing listened carefully to Li Xingwu's story. When he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Brother Li, why are you in such a hurry? Have some hot tea and warm yourself up. Let's study it and make something. With our friendship, there will definitely be no problem."
Hearing Ye Zhiqiu say this, Li Xingwu smiled happily. His face was indeed stiff from the cold wind, so he immediately picked up the teacup and drank the tea. Hot tea and warm words warmed people's hearts!
After he put down the enamel cup, Ye Zhiqiu began to ask what ingredients he needed help getting.
In fact, there wasn’t much food, as there were only three tables, and given the current shortage of supplies, there were no high requirements for the banquet.
After hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "No problem. I'll get you three chickens, three pounds of pork, three carp, and a pound of eggs later, and send them to you in the evening."
Li Xingwu said happily, "Okay, okay, thank you so much, brother! This matter has really worried me. I originally ordered the goods, but the person who deals in supplies said that since the road is blocked, their goods cannot be brought in.
Now that the road is open, their goods still can't get in. Because now all transportation channels are fully utilized to transport various daily necessities, and other unrelated vehicles are not allowed to pass!
With that said, Ye Zhiqiu knew how these people were swindling things! They must have been colluding with transport teams from other factories. Generally, these factories would transport machinery and equipment to other places, then trade in scarce goods in Beijing and sell them on the black market to make a staggering profit.
Don't underestimate it, the profits involved are staggering! Just like vermicelli, in places where sweet potatoes are grown, they may only be worth two or three cents per pound, and a pound of vermicelli costs less than a few cents, but now in Beijing, buying a pound of sweet potato vermicelli on the black market costs at least two and a half yuan!
If you exchange a pound of fish or rabbit meat for a pound of sweet potato vermicelli, 100% of people will choose the sweet potato vermicelli, which is why it has such a high black market price.
