Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 39 Acquisition of Mushrooms
Waking up in the morning and opening the window, I feel beautiful!
Zhao Wenmu opened his eyes and looked at the peaceful sleeping faces of two beauties, one big and one small lying beside him, feeling extremely satisfied.

He tiptoedly dressed and got out of bed, washed up, and started a normal but fulfilling day for a dad.

Go to the kitchen to boil water first, and put it in the big glass in the living room.

The little girl would cry for milk when she woke up, Zhao Wenmu couldn't stand the little guy crying for an extra minute.And milk powder must be brewed with warm water, otherwise it will destroy its nutrition.

Then it was to prepare breakfast for Zhao Jing and herself.

It may be caused by the psychology of the elderly in the previous life. In short, he wakes up earlier in the morning. Of course, rural people generally wake up very early.

Originally, Zhao Jing also woke up very early. In the past two months, she was fed by him, and she got up later and later.

A fresh grass carp in the water tank has no idea that the danger is coming.

A pair of hands suddenly grabbed the gills of its fate and lifted it out of the water. The last thing Yusheng saw was the handsome fish tail reflected by the bright kitchen knife.

Dazed with a knife.

Then the scales were quickly removed, the belly was ripped open, and the fish walked away peacefully.

After a while, fresh and uniform fish fillets filled the plate, adding a little shredded ginger and salt to marinate.

Then there is a fire to cook porridge, which is rice porridge.Rice is much more expensive than white flour in Qilu Province, and few ordinary people can afford it.

In terms of food, Zhao Wenmu never wronged himself, let alone his family members.

Cook until the rice soup is thick and the rice grains are soft and glutinous.

At this moment, the cry of the little girl came from the room, followed by the sound of pouring water.

It appeared that both women in the family were awake.

Zhao Wenmu picked up the plate, sprinkled the fish fillets evenly into the porridge, and then added firewood to the fire until the fish fillets were cooked.

Sprinkle in a little coriander and chopped green onion.

The tender and delicious sashimi porridge is complete.

On this hot summer day, the delicious and light fish porridge, paired with the small pickles pickled by Zhao Jing herself, will whet your appetite.

"Sister, although it's hot now, you can't touch cold water these two days."

Another reason why Zhao Wenmu made fish porridge this morning is that Zhao Jing is on her menstrual period.

Zhao Jing naturally understood what he meant.

"Know it."

"Little brother, what are you going to do today?"

"I'll go find Second Uncle Xuelei later and talk to him about buying mushrooms, and then ask him to accompany me to Sanlizhuang and Shandongtou Village to talk to the cadres there."

"Oh, then be careful on the road."

Before going out, Zhao Jing also brought him a bamboo hat, for fear that he would be exposed to the sun.

Zhao Wenmu didn't bring any gifts, so he went directly to Zhao Xuelei's house.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xuelei was not at home, and went to the construction site of the water lifting station early in the morning.Although it is summer now, everyone will avoid the noon period when working, but they will not go to work so early.

"Second uncle, why are you here so early?"

On the construction site, Zhao Wenmu found Zhao Xuelei who was measuring east and west with a tape measure.

"I don't feel relieved if I don't come to measure it every morning!"

"What's the matter with your kid coming to me so early?"

Zhao Xuelei put away the tape measure, wrote down the data in the notebook, and then looked at Zhao Wenmu with great interest.

"Second uncle, look how beautiful our mountain is!"

Zhao Xuelei was about to kick him, but Zhao Wenmu quickly dodged to dodge.

"Don't worry, listen to me."

"Second Uncle, you said that it is labor for us farmers to grow wheat, but is it labor to pick mushrooms?"

Zhao Wenmu looked at him and said.

Zhao Xuelei just looked at him steadfastly, and then spoke after a while:
"Do you want to collect mushrooms? Yes, no problem! How many catties per day?"

Wild game can be caught, and it is nothing for the members of the commune to pick mushrooms, and what this kid just said seems to be quite reasonable. Is it labor to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms?

Of course!
Labor is glorious!
"15000 catties, every day."

Fearing that Zhao Xuelei might misunderstand, Zhao Wenmu added "every day" to it.

"puff!"

Then there was a violent coughing sound.

After a while.

"How much?! Do you know the concept of 15000 catties? Our whole village, men, women and children, can't gather so much in one day!"

This kid is about to turn upside down.

"Second Uncle, don't worry, it's our village, Sanlizhuang, and Shandongtou Village. The three villages add up to 15000 catties a day, and they only have to pay for the three months of slack."

Zhao Xuelei is a sensible person, and he knows the situation of these three villages well.

After a little calculation in his mind, he knew that this matter was feasible and would not affect the daily agricultural work.

Not only that, Sanlizhuang has many mountains and forests, and the terrain is uneven. It has always been one of the poorest villages in the entire Zheshan Commune. Picking mushrooms may make their lives easier.

But the stakes are high.

There are too many people who need to be mobilized, fully accounting for one-fifth of the total population of the three villages. If children who are too young are excluded, this number will be even greater.

But this is indeed a great thing. Some old people, women, and half-grown children who can't do heavy work can pick mushrooms to help reduce the burden on their families.

"How much do you pay for a catty?"

"Six cents, both mushrooms and fungus."

This price completely tempted Zhao Xuelei.

"Amu, do you know that too many people are involved, and the production team must come forward to organize and coordinate. Once the production team comes forward, the nature of this matter will change."

He heaved a long sigh.

This is indeed the case. The production team just acquiesced in the purchase of game before, and would not personally help organize it.

So many people are involved in picking mushrooms, if the production team still pretends to be deaf and dumb, it will easily lead to confusion.

"Second Uncle, you can sell surplus grain, but why can't you sell mushrooms? Besides, what's the essential difference between picking mushrooms and growing wheat?"

"Second Uncle, times are about to change."

He added in a low voice.

Zhao Wenmu naturally knew that in the context of the times, what he said just now was just arguing.

"Can it be the same! The food is sold to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and who are the mushrooms sold to? I don't believe that you bought so many mushrooms and sold them to the state-run restaurant!"

Zhao Xuelei also lowered his voice and reprimanded.

Then he slowed down and said:
"Amu, there's nothing wrong with being ahead of the times, but don't be that early bird! You don't like to hear what Second Uncle said, but if something happens, it's too late to regret it."

"Second Uncle, nothing will happen! Otherwise, what do you say, why don't you accept it?"

Zhao Wenmu was also a little frustrated. If even Zhao Xuelei couldn't convince him, the other two villages wouldn't have to try.

In that case, you can only pick mushrooms yourself.

How many mushrooms can a dozen of them pick?

"Accept, why not?!"

This turning point caught Zhao Wenmu a little off guard.

"The production team has to charge part of the money."

Your old man has paved the way for so long, just for this?

Say it sooner, or say no sooner!
"Okay, no problem, how much?"

"Two cents a catty."

"Impossible! Too much, 5%!"

The cost is two cents more, which is 30000 yuan, and the impact is too great.Zhao Wenmu's cash flow couldn't support the purchase of so many mushrooms, and with an extra two cents, capital turnover would be even more difficult.

He finds it unacceptable.

"This matter has a lot to do with it!"

Zhao Xuelei knocked on the cigarette pot, then said:

"I have to pay more!"

Feelings Are you the 1980 version of Jiaqian Lay?
The two discussed for a long time but failed to reach an agreement. In the end, Zhao Wenmu simply played a rogue.

"Second Uncle, let me tell you clearly, at most one penny! You have to help me settle the other two villages. I will donate 1000 yuan to our production team at the end of the year. This is my greatest sincerity!"

"Those two old stubborn donkeys are not easy to deal with." Zhao Xuelei said quietly after taking a puff of cigarette.

"1000 yuan for a stubborn donkey, okay?"

In this way, we have to donate 2000 yuan to the production team at the end of the year!This money is enough to buy four donkeys!
"it is good!"

Zhao Xuelei knocked on the cigarette bag and walked away with his hands behind his back.

What a slippery old man!Zhao Wenmu thought in his heart.

Zhao Xuelei is still very reliable in his work, and he quickly persuaded the cadres of the three villages.

Not only that, the three villages also negotiated to divide up the quota of 15000 catties per day, and clarified which village will be responsible for picking the several mountains in the border area.

This avoids vicious competition and is more conducive to the distribution of manpower in each village.

You must know that the folk customs in this era are very tough. If the villagers fight because of the land grab, then the fun will be great!

Back then, two counties fought in a certain Great Lakes area because of the distribution of cultivated land. The dispute lasted for several years without any result.In the end, they were simply merged, and the dispute was resolved from the source.

Having the production team come forward to coordinate can avoid many problems in advance.

So that night, Zhao Wenyan, Zhang Zhenshan, Zhang Daming and others, accompanied by their respective village cadres, went door-to-door to tell them about the mushroom collection. etc.

Zhao Wenyan and the others repeatedly emphasized that this was purchased in cooperation with the county's state-run restaurant, which is allowed by the state, but they must ensure that the mushrooms are clean and fresh, and there must be no poisonous mushrooms!

Pulling the tiger skin to pull the banner, the tiger skin of the State-owned Hotel is Zhao Wenmu's best banner right now.

Everyone geared up and waited for the arrival of the next day.
