Yu You thought, the boss is worthy of being a boss, he can get a car in time when he needs it.
"When you buy things on the black market, do you sell them to locals, or do you also sell them elsewhere?"
Qin Zhiheng raised his eyebrows.
"How do you know?"
He never told his family that he was working in the black market. Most of his family members thought he was working for the transport team.
"We don't have many tickets. You were selling cotton and iron pots a while ago, so we can buy them on the black market."
"Not to mention that box of small yellow croakers. I guess they were also bought on the black market."
Yu You was very smart, and Qin Zhiheng nodded in agreement. He hadn't told her before simply because he didn't want his family to worry.
He said: "The grain we buy at low prices in the village can basically be sold locally for almost nothing. The grain we buy at higher prices on the black market can only be transported to the city. There we can sell it for a higher price."
"It's roughly the same with other things. The more valuable they are, the more they'll be shipped out."
In other words, they can export it.
Then you can make some soap or something and sell it to them. The price should be higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Unfortunately, as a chemistry major, I can make a lot of things, but everything I make requires a lot of raw materials. I guess I'll have to wait until the economy opens up before I can really show my skills.
Yu You asked again, "It's almost the end of the year, and New Year's goods consume the most oil. Can you get us some suet or something?"
Qin Zhiheng reminded him, "The village will slaughter pigs in two days, and we will distribute some according to the work points. If it's not enough, you can buy more."
It's no wonder Yu You forgot. Raising pigs is an easy job for the team. They were never given any. The pigpen is far away from them.
I guess her parents have forgotten about it. I have to tell her mom tomorrow. There are more than a dozen people in the two families. Prepare some money and buy more.
In the First Production Brigade, every household was making kimchi, and the people in the educated youth camp were no exception.
The educated youth were all alone, without families, so the team leader Guo Min asked each of them to make two, which would provide some income.
There are four men and three women in the educated youth site. The oldest one has been there for five or six years, and the youngest one, who came with Yao Zixiong, has been there for more than two years.
From not knowing how to use farm tools at first, most of them are now good at farm work. They have also learned to be frugal like the villagers.
Of course, except Yao Zixiong.
Yao Zixiong saw everyone busy in the yard salting the cabbages and chopping garlic. He asked, "Can anyone lend me two cabbages?"
The yard was completely quiet. We all came from the city, but now we were just like the peasants in the village.
Why does Yao Zixiong have to be treated specially? He always makes himself look like a government official and seems superior to others.
Wang Youqi scoffed, "Yao Zixiong, you have nothing, yet you borrow everything. Do you think we'll have to do it for you later? You just have to wait and see how much you get paid?"
Yao Zixiong's expression darkened, but he said nothing more and stepped aside.
Wu Zhenxing tried to smooth things over, saying, "You know we're not as strong as the locals, and the rations we're given are very limited. Go borrow some from the villagers."
At night, when all the educated youth were asleep, a dark figure ran into the main room and made a lot of noise and rustling around, before everything quieted down.
The next morning, the production team began slaughtering pigs. They had raised six pigs this year, and four were required to be slaughtered according to the quota.
There were only two pigs for more than 400 people. One pig would grow to 150 kilograms at most after being taken care of with great effort from the beginning of spring to the end of the year.
Each family only gets about two or three pounds of meat on average, but some families sell their meat to others on the spot so they can exchange it for food and have more food for a few days.
Killing a pig and dividing the pork was a major event, and nearly the entire village gathered at the threshing ground. A large pot of boiling water was already set up there, emitting white smoke. Pouring it over the pigs made removing the hair much easier.
The rest of the Qin family had already lined up early, and they could get some according to their work points.
Yu You waited until the pigs were almost slaughtered before he and Qin Zhiheng took An An and Ning Ning to the threshing ground.
Killing a pig is too bloody, and the couple was afraid that their son and daughter would have nightmares after watching it.
Each of them was holding a child, and the four members of the family were all very good-looking, and they were very pleasing to the eye walking together.
Cao Xiu arrived early, and his family had few work points, so he simply didn't go to queue up, but squeezed to the front row to watch the fun.
Seeing Yu You's family of four, he shouted, "You You, come over here, let's buy some together later."
A family of four squeezed through with great difficulty.
"Mom, have you started dividing the meat yet?"
"Yes, we divide it up according to the work points first. Then we sell the rest. Mom has found out. In the city, pork belly costs one yuan a pound, but in our village it's eighty cents, and you don't even need a ticket. Other parts are even cheaper."
"This price is good, let's buy more."
Cao Xiu said, "Mom, we have some meat at home. People in this village only eat this kind of meat once a year, so let them pick it first."
Of course Yu You agreed, as there was infinitely replicable pork belly, as well as beef and mutton in the space.
She planned to go to the city again with her mother to sell some of these things.
After watching the excitement for a while, Guo Min said, "The work points have been distributed. Anyone who wants to buy the remaining ones can come over."
Yu You and his companions then stepped forward. The real buyers were his family; the other seven or eight families were planning to sell their own share of the meat.
Guo Min saw Cao Xiu and asked, "Auntie, there's nothing good left here. Which one do you want?"
There were seven or eight pieces of lean meat on the table, as well as two pig skeletons that had been shaved clean of almost any meat, two pig heads, two pig offal, and two large pieces of pork fat.
"Guo Min, how much do you sell these for?"
"The lean meat is what the villagers want to sell to exchange for food. It's 70 cents a pound. The pig's offal is 20 cents a pound, the pig's head is 50 cents a pound, and the lard is 60 cents a pound."
