Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 697 Procurement
The jeep is galloping on the Gobi, much faster than the truck.

Yang Xiaotao clenched the steering wheel with excitement on his face.

The young man on the side looked at Yang Xiaotao nervously, holding the handlebar of the car tightly with one hand.

The driver behind him admired Yang Xiaotao's driving skills, and he had the most right to say how difficult the jeep manufactured in Shanghai was.

But in Yang Xiaotao's hands, it is not as smooth as the original car.

"Comrade Gao Yu, relax, this speed is fine."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the tense look of the young man at the side, and spoke to comfort him.

As long as there is no road in such a flat place, naturally there will be no "kids" who are spoiled, and they can drive unscrupulously.

And there are no traffic lights, that is, there are few forks and turns, just hold the steering wheel and step on the accelerator.

Besides, the speed of this car is really not fast.

Obviously, the engine of this domestically produced jeep is not good enough. It feels like it can run to [-], which is already good.

Compared with the later generations who ride a bicycle casually, more than 100 kilometers per hour, it is simply a tractor.

This is why Yang Xiaotao wants to drive.

I haven't used the driving proficiency skill myself, but this time I finally have a place to use it.

"Teacher Yang, have you ever driven a car before?"

The voice of the driver Lao Ma came from behind, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Driving, tractor."

Well, it's considered driving.

"Mr. Yang, I heard that you produced the tractors on the farm?"

"No, I designed it, and the big guys did it."

"You are amazing."

"Haha, it's so-so. My best thing is driving. After sitting down, I'm going uphill."

When the car rushed up the dirt slope with a bang, and then flew away from the highest point, the three of them suddenly lost weight in their hearts and felt empty.

砰

The wheels landed on the ground and continued to move forward with a bang.

"Cool~~~"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally stopped at a place in Xihe Town.

The hearts of the two people who accompanied them also went back to their stomachs. The driver, Lao Ma, had made up his mind that he must drive by himself tomorrow, and he couldn't let this little lunatic drive.

The three of them approached the local government, and after explaining the situation, they showed their documents again and found a resting place in the local area.

When they came to the residence, Yang Xiaotao put down his salute, and went to the town with the two to find a restaurant for dinner, and asked about the situation of the farm.

Although I asked about it in the car, Gao Yu didn't say much, and now I just asked while I was eating.

The three of them came to the restaurant arranged by the local comrades, and each of them ordered a bowl of lasagna.Afterwards, Gao Yu took out the local food stamps from his briefcase, and handed another [-] cents to the local comrades.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it, got up and came to the side to ask what special dishes were there. The staff smiled and said that there was mixed mutton.

Yang Xiaotao asked for one, and Gao Yu on the side looked embarrassed, the total funding he came out to approve this time was only so little, this plate of mutton was at least one yuan.

Unexpectedly, after Yang Xiaotao had finished speaking, he asked the staff to add another fire. This time, the heavy rain couldn't sit still, and he stood up to talk, but was stopped by the old horse.

He has been driving all year round and has seen many things. It can be seen that Yang Xiaotao is not a person who does not discriminate, so let him not worry.

Then Yang Xiaotao asked for a bottle of wine, and took out a stack of money tickets from his pocket.

"Comrade, I don't have local food stamps, only national food stamps, that's okay."

The local staff were shocked when they saw the thick stack of national food stamps. This is a good thing. Not only can they buy food, but more importantly, they can buy cooking oil.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao asking this question, he nodded quickly, "Yes, yes."

"Okay, these are all counted by me, you count."

"By the way, just find a place for food stamps for the extra ones."

Yang Xiaotao handed over a ten catty national food stamp, and the staff immediately took it with a smile, and after careful inspection, they finally found a stack of local food stamps.

When Yang Xiaotao sat back and waited, Gao Yu and Lao Ma were also shocked.

Anyone who goes out will bring some national food stamps, but it is rare to take out a handful.

In fact, this food stamp is only part of it.

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry that I need you to treat me to dinner."

Lao Ma smiled and said the same, Gao Yu beside him said the same, "When I came, I received a special note from the field manager, I didn't expect it."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "I brought it from Forty-Nine City, but it turned out to be a big circle, and it was useless. If it wasn't for this time, it wouldn't be worth it."

The two laughed.

After a while, the staff of the restaurant brought over the mixed mutton, and also sent a plate of soy sauce and garlic, which was regarded as a side dish.

Then there are three fires, each of which weighs half a catty, much stronger than a bowl of wide noodles.

Seeing that there was wine, the old horse quickly started, took the wine cup and filled it up one by one.

Drinking some wine just to warm you up on a cold day.

The three drank wine and ate food, and quickly became acquainted.

Gao Yu is young, doesn't hold much alcohol, she slaps her face after drinking a glass, and speaks with a bit of a tongue.

At that time, Lao Ma drank more than half of it with Yang Xiaotao, he was not drunk, but he also talked a lot.

"Lao Ma, Xiao Gao, how is the farm situation?"

"Mr. Yang, I also heard that you made this corn."

Gao Yu said, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "I'm one year older than you, just call me Brother Yang."

"No, no, the director said, you are Teacher Yang."

"Okay, up to you. Is your place far from here?"

"Far away. Fill up the gas, and you have to bring another barrel."

The old horse was holding a wine glass and talking, Yang Xiaotao picked it up and touched it, "Are the children okay?"

"When I first arrived, I was sick and I was not acclimatized to the environment. Adults are like that, let alone children."

Lao Ma sighed, and Gao Yu on the side hurriedly explained, "It's all fine now, it's all right."

Lao Ma nodded, and Yang Xiaotao felt relieved.

Don't look at the 12-year-old children in rural areas who have started to work in the fields to earn work points, which can be regarded as half labor.

But in Yang Xiaotao's view, the children of Yangjiazhuang School have embarked on another path, a different path to success.

After this trip, it can be regarded as a tempering for these children.

If you don't go out and have a look, you will never know how vast the world is!

"Where's Director Gao?"

"Thin."

"Is the farm big?"

"Pretty big!"

"Old Ma, can we arrive tomorrow?"

"Almost, leave early, if you hurry up, you will arrive before dark."

"That's good."

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask him what he was doing, and Gao Yufeng didn't say it in his letter, so he might have asked, so he might not be able to say it.

After the three of them finished their meal, Yang Xiaotao suggested to go shopping, Gao Yu nodded and did not refuse, and the two followed Yang Xiaotao around the town.

As the sky gradually darkened, the two came to the local supply and marketing cooperative, and then they were dumbfounded.

Although it is a supply and marketing cooperative in the town, the things inside are really not comparable to those in Sijiu City. Not only is the store small, with only two salespersons, most of them are non-staple food areas.

This time Yang Xiaotao wanted to buy more things for the children.

Unexpectedly, there were not many things in the supply and marketing cooperative. Yang Xiaotao wanted to buy sugar, but he was told that there was only maltose, and it was only one or two catties.

No choice but to buy it.

As for the white rabbit toffee, the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative said that he had never seen it.

There was no sugar, so Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to buy all the dried fruit cakes on the counter.

Now it was the turn of the others to be dumbfounded.

The salesperson was a little unbelievable, who bought so many?

If this is not hoarding, it is just joking and molesting the two little girls.

It was only when Yang Xiaotao took out the money ticket seriously that he came to his senses, he was serious!
According to Yang Xiaotao's request, the two packed the things on the counter.

As a result, Lao Ma had a big package in his hand.

It's not over yet, Yang Xiaotao looked at other products and saw a basket of eggs on the counter.

Didn't think much of it, bought it all.

The two salespersons smiled, this task was overfulfilled.

Then I found out that there was nothing but cloth, no tobacco, alcohol, melon seeds, and a lot of matches. After thinking about it, I planned to buy all the cloth.

This time it was even more surprising.

The same goes for Gao Yu and Lao Ma.

Cloth tickets are no more than food stamps and meat tickets. They are rare items. There are not many cloths in this supply and marketing cooperative, but they can be sold for a long time.

And on the farm, that's the amount allocated every year from above.

The field manager was reluctant to use it, and kept it in the warehouse as a treasure.

Now, if someone wants to buy all of them, how much cloth ticket will it cost!
Amidst the staff's disbelief, Yang Xiaotao took out a few cloth tickets from a bunch of tickets, and after several people confirmed that they were correct, they looked at the remaining tickets, all speechless.

It is estimated that the cloth here is twice as much, and people can afford it.

At this time, the two saleswomen also knew that Yang Xiaotao was from Forty-Nine City, and they were feeling in their hearts that he was worthy of being from Forty-Nine City.

The older ones have already started to help the staff buy something, the younger ones are shy, but they still ask for news from time to time, and they almost ask whether Jie is married.

If you're not married, you don't mind going back to Sijiu City together.

This point makes the old horse who is still playing bachelor very tasty.

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about shopping, but he didn't pay attention to it.

"Do we have any meat here?"

Yang Xiaotao picked out a few meat tickets from a pile of tickets again, and the eyes of the two female salesmen almost went straight.

They have also worked in this supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, but this is the first time they have seen so many tickets to buy meat.

This is how much to buy.

The younger one said directly, "There is not much meat in the first place, and it was sold out early in the morning."

"Oh, it seems to be the same everywhere."

Yang Xiaotao remembered that it was the same in Forty-Nine City. When buying meat, he had to queue up, and there was no hair left when he went late.

Yang Xiaotao was a little disappointed that he didn't get any meat.

What he wants most is to take the meat and cook a delicious meal for the children.

"If you're not in a hurry, come early tomorrow. Uncle Ah Sang will slaughter a sheep."

The older person on the side suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao immediately became interested.

"No rush, what time?"

"It will be delivered at five o'clock, but the supply and marketing cooperative will not open until eight o'clock."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed, "You two lesbians, I am here to purchase supplies on behalf of the farm. You can see if you can accommodate me, I don't want more, half of the mutton is fine, of course other heads, bones, internal organs, etc., if you can If so, you can give it to me."

After finishing speaking, the two salesmen looked at each other, then nodded.

"Okay, we open at six, you can come earlier."

"Thank you so much."

"No, it's all about serving the people, as it should be."

The two salesgirls talked enthusiastically, and the old horse's eyes became hot.

If he was so enthusiastic about this, he would have seized the opportunity long ago.

In the end, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Ma walked back together with their things in their arms.

Gao Yu was carrying the cloth with shame on his face.

I was sent to pick up people, but I even asked people to buy gifts. How can I explain to the director when I go back?
Waiting to return to the station.

Running all the way, the three of them went to bed after washing.

Yang Xiaotao lived in the same house, and Lao Ma and Gao Yu lived in the same house.

It didn't take long to lie down, and soon there was a snoring sound.

And a hundred miles away, Liu Daming and his party were getting on the train, started slowly, and headed towards home.
