[Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Exchange]
When Cheng Liyan asked if he could exchange it for meat, Shen Yuyao answered "yes" without thinking.
She said: "Wushuang Country has no sea fish, but it has no shortage of wild animals. We have endless mountains there, and there is never a lack of various wild animals on the mountains. Even when I am in the capital, I often hear about large wild animals appearing somewhere and wild animals injuring people.
Our soldiers, in addition to guarding the capital, also have the job of going up the mountain to clear out the wild beasts that may hurt people.
If you ask General Chen for other things, he might give you a hard time. But asking for meat... for him, it's just a matter of going into the mountains.
Moreover, even if we don’t go into the mountains, General Chen can still find the things for you. The royal family has so many deer parks!”
Cheng Liyan: “…”
Now he felt at ease.
Once the goal is set, how to implement it becomes the top priority.
The first person Cheng Liyan thought of was his comrade-in-arms who had transferred to Jiang Province.
His comrade-in-arms transferred to the Light Industry Bureau of Jiangxi Province.
Actually, these things are managed by their unit.
However, Jiang Province is nearly 700 kilometers away from Binhai. Not to mention whether the comrades can find so many goods, even if they do, how to transport them is also a problem.
Cheng Liyan gave up the idea after a little thought.
He felt that he had to get this matter settled in this city.
Nowadays, the price of a large lunch box in the supply and marketing cooperative is one yuan and twenty-six cents, and the price of a pair of men's rubber shoes is three yuan and fifty cents, and both need to be used in conjunction with industrial coupons.
Although the prices of these two items are high, to be honest, they are not in short supply because the light industry in Binhai is relatively developed.
As long as the money and tickets are in place, an average family can buy it by just going to the supply and marketing cooperative twice.
But pork is different.
The current price of pork is 85 cents per pound, which comes with a meat ticket for one pound.
But the key point is that now each citizen is only allocated two taels of meat coupons per month!
You may not be able to buy it with just these two taels!
So for coastal people, meat is much more valuable than lunch boxes and rubber shoes.
Cheng Liyan felt it was a good deal to exchange these industrial products for meat.
But how can we get these things in Binhai?
After thinking it over, he finally knocked on the door of Commander Ye's office when he went to work the next day.
When he saw Cheng Liyan coming to the office to find him, Teacher Ye, so solemnly, he got a headache. He felt that seeing this guy so early in the morning must be nothing good!
Sure enough, within a few minutes of sitting down, this guy told me the purpose of his visit, which was to ask me for meat.
Ye Congjun took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the urge to kick him away!
Without even raising his eyelids, he continued to stare at the document in his hand and asked half-heartedly, "Are you greedy? Didn't I just fry some meatballs for you? Everyone in your police battalion got three!"
The meaning is very clear - I only ate one, and you little bastards ate them all, and you are still not satisfied!
Cheng Liyan chuckled twice and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I am greedy."
Then he started to complain, saying that a large number of the soldiers in the police battalion were not in good physical condition, were generally underweight, and lacked endurance.
He used the example of the field training that had just taken place not long ago, and talked about how urgent it was to replenish the energy of those young men.
Finally, he said, "Uncle Ye, I won't hide it from you. I've been thinking about this matter so much that I'm almost going bald. I couldn't sleep all night. I really can't think of any solution, so I came to you for advice."
Ye Congjun didn't want to listen to this kid's pity, but he also knew that what Cheng Liyan said was true.
Cheng Liyan may be sloppy in other aspects, but he is absolutely serious at work.
Moreover, his military qualities and ability to lead troops made Ye Congjun dare not ignore the questions he raised.
But, he had no way to solve these problems.
Ye Congjun finally put down the documents in his hand.
He pinched his brows and said, "I'll try to get some fish back."
Cheng Liyan curled his lips and said, "How can fish be compared to meat? Eating fish doesn't make you stronger."
Ye Congjun raised his head and glared at him in dissatisfaction: "Don't push your luck!"
Cheng Liyan then chuckled, moved his face across the table closer to Ye Congjun, and whispered, "Uncle, I have a way to get the meat, but I need your help."
Ye Congjun frowned and looked at Cheng Liyan with a vigilant look: "What bad idea do you have? You've been going around in circles for a long time, and you're waiting for me here?"
He didn't respond to Cheng Liyan's words, but pointed at the door: "I know the problem you raised, you can go back first."
Where would Cheng Liyan go?
He really racked his brains yesterday to come up with this idea, and finally he had thought through all the aspects.
The matter hasn't even started yet, how could he give up halfway?
He sat on the stool, as if there were nails under his butt, nailing him there, and he wouldn't move at all.
Ye Congjun was very angry again.
Ye Congjun didn't believe that this guy could find the meat.
Is meat so easy to find nowadays?
Unless... he discovers some small group engaged in feudal superstition and digs out an underground organization.
Think about how lucky this guy was a while ago. He was able to bring back so much meat and oil for the division by training in the wild...
Ye Congjun's tone softened a little.
He said: "Meat is important, but it cannot be used to violate discipline."
He glared at Cheng Liyan warningly: "Don't joke with your future!"
Cheng Liyan naturally knew that his Uncle Ye was really kind to him.
After hearing this, he nodded and said, "I understand."
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Uncle Ye, I really have a way to get a batch of meat, a large batch! Let me tell you, see if it works.
Of course, such a big thing still needs your help to check, I will tell you, if you think it's okay, we will do it, if you think it's not okay, then just ignore what I said and we can just give up."
The more he spoke, the more vigilant Ye Congjun became.
Ye Congjun is no longer concerned about the meat. He is more concerned about what channel Cheng Liyan is talking about and how he found such a channel?
Will it bring any danger to this kid?
So he nodded and said, "Tell me about it, and I'll give you some advice."
