Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 383
Zhang Haiyang and others saw Chu Xiangqian and said that all the Moutai and Zhonghua they had exchanged would be handed over to Xue Jinglan.

He nodded hurriedly, "Brother Qiang, don't worry, we promise to handle this matter beautifully."

Chu nodded forward, not worried that these boys would be corrupt.

For them, the big boys, face is more important than anything else.

Seeing Chu Qianqian riding his bicycle slowly away, Xiao Mingzi, Dayi, Xiao Fu, and Yong'er said to Zhang Haiyang, "Brother, Brother Qianqian is so righteous."

Zhang Haiyang chuckled, "That goes without saying, otherwise Sister Lanlan wouldn't be completely devoted to him.

Besides, when Brother Xiang was not on a business trip, he invited me and Li Yuanchao to drink and eat meat, and gave us big fish.

He also made that boy Li Yuanchao docile.

We have to remember this kindness, not to mention that when we give it to him this time, it will be the food stamps he saved for two months. "

Zhang Haiyang silently counted, adding the previous 10 kilograms, it was a full 80 kilograms of food stamps.

In other words, Chu Xiangqian has a fixed food supply of at least 40 kilograms a month.

After thinking about it silently, I secretly told Brother Qiang that the rations for a month must be calculated based on the 44 kilograms of heavy weight food.

But hearing him say that he didn't have to worry about food and drink while on a business trip, the five boys couldn't help but envy him.

"I don't know what kind of job Brother Xiang has. If we can learn from him for two or three years and then follow him when we are of working age, then life will be easier."

"Maybe Brother Xiang also went to the northwest, but his job is a bit special and he can come back every month or two."

"Yes, yes, otherwise why would he have to take care of those children whose parents have also gone to the northwest?"

When the five people thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.

Xiao Fu suddenly said, "Are you going to catch the enemy?"

Zhang Haiyang's eyes lit up. He had heard that Chu Xiangqian had caught the enemy's gossip in the capital.

In addition, Chu Xiangqian did not work as the deputy chief of the street security section, and suddenly went on business trips every month. The lack of security was exactly as Xiao Fu guessed.

"Young horsemen, I will tell my dad when we get back that we will practice spear, boxing and kicking in the team from now on. Otherwise, when we are old enough, even if we beg Brother Qiang and others look down on us, it will be in vain."

Xiao Mingzi, Dayi, Xiao Fu, and Yong'er thought for a while, nodded heavily and said, "Then let's follow suit. In short, we can't embarrass ourselves in front of Brother Qian."

If Chu Xiangqian knew, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or curse.

However, this is better than these five boys not going to school all day long and just wandering around on the street.

Moreover, once the soldiers are demobilized and transferred to local areas, as long as they achieve some achievements and have some help from their families, their future achievements will definitely not be small.

Unfortunately, what Zhang Haiyang and others didn't know was that Chu Qianqian actually followed the tits' reminder and ran to the area near Lou Xiao'e's parents' home, following Lou Xiao'e who was riding a bicycle out of nowhere.

At around 10 o'clock, Lou Xiao'e was waiting in the courtyard of Beach Street with a face full of surprise.

As soon as the door was closed, Lou Xiao'e excitedly threw herself into Chu Qianqian's arms, hugged his neck and kissed him.

Not long after, the sound of opera singing came to mind in the master bedroom.

It's a pity that Lou Xiao'e is a young lady after all, so she was exhausted after practicing basic skills for more than ten minutes.

Chu Xiangqian didn't urge her to get up and continue practicing. Instead, he hugged her and started chatting.

After more than two months apart, Lou Xiaoe had too many things to say to him.

After talking for half an hour, Chu Xiangqian also knew that this woman actually found out about Xu Damao's mischief outside.

However, because her heart was full of Chu Qianqian, Lou Xiao'e actually didn't make trouble with Xu Damao.

Instead, she simply went back to her parents' house. When her parents pressed her for questioning, they told her that Xu Damao was acting out on the grounds that he could not give birth to a son.

Lou's father and Lou's mother were naturally furious.

But after all, Lou's father was a powerful figure who was able to open a steel factory in the capital city of the old society.

I advised Lou's mother not to argue with Xu Damao for the time being, but to see if that boy can really have a child with the country's little daughter-in-law or little widow.

If the problem lies with Xu Damao, it will naturally be divorce, and just one sentence, Xu Damao is infertile, can force the Xu family to divorce honestly for the sake of reputation.

If the problem is Lou Xiao'e's, there is no need to say anything, or Lou Xiao'e should be advised to swallow it.

Either give Xu Damao some money.

Xu Damao had both money and a child of his own, so divorce became inevitable.

But breaking up peacefully can also save the Lou family's face.

When the time comes, I will take Lou Xiaoe to Hong Kong Island and start a new life.

Lou Xiao'e thought that the worst she could do was to try Chu Xiangqian if she didn't want to be famous. Once the child was born, she would be able to raise it.

On the contrary, without knowing it, Xu Damao was having more fun outside and at the same time pretending to come to the house to say good things and beg Lou Xiao'e to come back.

What the Lou family didn't expect was that their two sons from Hong Kong actually sent a telegram saying they wanted to import deer glue from the mainland.

If I really don’t have any, I’ll try to buy some good donkey-hide gelatin.

Only then did Xu Damao come to buy deer glue.

Chu Qianqian and Lou Xiao'e chatted for half an hour, and saw that the girl had calmed down.

Naturally, I wanted to let her continue practicing basic skills, but this time Lou Xiao'e's voice became hoarse while singing.

In the end, I had to give up and no longer force her to sing.

At noon, Lou Xiao'e actually ran to the kitchen and said she was cooking for Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian was afraid that he would become a test subject, so he repeatedly said that he wanted to go out to eat.

Unexpectedly, after Lou Xiaoe actually copied two dishes, they tasted pretty good.

At least it doesn't taste undercooked or overly salted.

Seeing Chu Qianqian's surprised expression, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but said proudly, "Qianqian, my mother is the direct descendant of Tan's cuisine. I begged my mother to teach me for a month and a half.

I already know several kinds of stir-fried dishes." After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "It's a pity that there is a lack of ingredients. Many of the real big dishes in Tan's cuisine cannot be cooked on the spot.

I can only take the recipe and memorize it every day. "

Chu Xiangqian was suddenly surprised, and then he held Lou Xiao'e's hand with some emotion.

"I'll go out and look for it later. Maybe I can bring back some isinglass, shark's fin, bird's nest, ginseng, deer antlers, venison, salmon, and red wine."

After saying that, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think of the shark in Novice Village.

The accumulated fins from three sharks every day are enough to open a Tan's restaurant, not to mention training for Lou Xiao'e.

而且自己上次回内地之前，雷洛就送了2盒鱼胶、2盒阿胶、四盒雪茄、两箱子红酒、4盒茶叶、2盒燕窝、2盒人参。

Lardboy also gave away four boxes of cigars, two boxes of red wine, and two boxes of whiskey.

This time Feifei took her to go shopping and bought a lot of supplements and food.

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she hugged Chu Qianqian's arm happily, "Can you really get those good things?"

Chu nodded forward, there were some things he couldn't say to Qin Huairu.There were good things, but she was worried that if she took them home, they would be eaten by that old witch Jia Zhang.

As for Banggan and Xiaodang, Chu Xiangqian used to hate them, but now, because Qin Huairu has been bullied by him so many times.

All I can say is that I don’t like it.

But in the eyes of the daughter of a big capitalist like Lou Xiao'e, red wine, salmon and the like have been seen countless times since she was a child.

Put it in front of her, the woman wouldn't even ask how she bought it.

Moreover, eating Chu Qianqian’s food made me feel at ease.

Of course, if Lou's father hadn't felt that it would be bad to go to the Friendship Store every three days and use foreign currency to buy big fish and meat in such difficult times.

The Lou family will not be short of anything at all, let alone food shortage.

The sales targets of Beijing Friendship Store have always been foreigners.

Youyi Store has everything that can be imported, and this store in Beijing is definitely the store with the most complete range of products in the country.

Seeing Chu nodding forward, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but be overjoyed, "If there were shark's fins, just three-strand shark's fin, crab roe shark's fin, casserole shark's fin, stewed shark's fin, thick soup shark's fin, and sea-braised shark's fin, it would be enough for me to learn for a while."

When Chu Qianqian saw that she really wanted to learn cooking, he was naturally willing to fulfill her wish.

Besides, if you really learn how to cook Tan’s cuisine, you will definitely be the first to benefit.

He lowered his head and kissed Lou Xiao'e on the mouth, "I'll go out and bring back some more things to store in the yard.

Next time you come back from a business trip, I'll have to check on your cooking skills. "

Lou Xiao'e nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will definitely learn one or two great dishes."

Chu Xiangqian went out and rode his bicycle around for half an hour. Then he packed a bamboo basket with ten pieces of chicken wings, a box of donkey-hide gelatin, a box of bird's nest, and two bottles of red wine.

Two dried salt hares and one dried leg of salt lamb.

It's summer now, and the dried meat alone may not go bad.

But after salting, it can be stored for several years.

If he didn't know how to make Jinhua ham, Chu Xiangqian could make dry ham.

Returning to the courtyard on Beach Street, Lou Xiao'e saw that she had brought so many things back, and she excitedly hugged Chu Qianqian and kissed him.

This time Chu Xiangqian simply picked up the woman's delicate body and walked into the back room.

Not long after, there were bursts of singing and opera sounds again.

At around 2 o'clock, Lou Xiao'e was so tired that she fell asleep. Chu Qianqian shook his head helplessly, got up and left the house, and entered the Novice Village to take a bath.

Then he put the things he brought back on the table in the hall, pushed the bicycle out, and asked Titaku to lock the door to prevent anyone from entering as soon as he pushed the door.

In less than 10 minutes, Chu Xiangqian returned to the courtyard house in Nanluogu Lane.

Not only the second uncle, third uncle, team captain Qin Dakui and Accountant Jiang have arrived, but Xue Jinglan has also entered the courtyard with 8 bottles of Maotai and 10 pieces of Zhonghua.

As soon as he pushed the bicycle into the front yard, he was seen by Ai Yuan and Xue Jinglan who had been waiting in the east wing.

Ai Yuan hurriedly ran out and took Chu Qianqian back to the east wing first. Chu Qianqian couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the cigarettes and wine brought by Xue Jinglan.

"Why so many?"

"Brother, you don't know if you are on a business trip. Nowadays, 80 kilograms of food stamps cost more than ten yuan. If you buy 80 kilograms of rice at the supply and marketing cooperative and take it to the night market, you can easily exchange it for 150 yuan."

After saying that, he took out more than ten cigarette and alcohol tickets and handed them to Chu Qianqian, and continued, "My sister-in-law and I did the math, and 12 Moutai tickets, plus these 8 bottles of wine and 10 Chinese cigarettes, are just right. No one suffered a loss.”

Chu Xiangqian sighed secretly. In other words, a pound of rice now has increased seven or eight times compared to the end of last year.

Sitting next to Xue Jinglan, he looked at Ai Yuan and asked, "Where are the second uncle and third uncle?"

"Second uncle, my dad, Uncle Qin, and Accountant Jiang had lunch at my place and drank two bottles of wine. Now they are taking a nap in the backyard in a patriotic and people-loving room."

After Aiyuan finished speaking, he looked at his watch and said, "It's already past 3 o'clock. I'm going to call them right now."

When Aiyuan went to the backyard, Chu Xiangqian immediately pulled Xue Jinglan into his bedroom and bullied her.

Xue Jinglan liked it, but was worried about being caught.

Seven or eight minutes later, Chu Xiangqian looked through the tits and saw Ai Yuan and the others entering the middle courtyard, and then let go of Xue Jinglan, who was blushing.

The two of them only had time to say a few words before they heard the voices of their second uncle and others speaking.

Chu Xiangqian looked at Xiao Lan'er, who had a tense face, and said with a smile, "Don't go out yet. I have serious business to discuss with my second uncle and the others."

Xue Jinglan, who had a rosy face, nodded quickly, but said, "I will help Aiyuan cook in a while."

Chu Qianqian glanced at the little girl in surprise, but didn't say much, just nodded and went out.

Xue Jinglan naturally knew what Chu Xiangqian meant, and secretly thought that although it would still be uncomfortable to be in contact with strangers, the issue of mysophobia was indeed much better than before.

Chu Xiangqian left the house, greeted his second uncle and others and said hello.

The host and guest were divided, and we soon started chatting about handmade bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo chairs, and bamboo beds.

However, Chu Xiangqian didn't say it out loud. He could just wait until the matter was settled with the forestry farm before talking to his boss Tang Lianxin.

When the time comes, the higher-ups will take Hong Kong dollars, and don’t give some Chinese coins to the forest farm. It will be enough for the forest farm and several surrounding villages to live much better than others.

At least there shouldn't be anyone starving to death.

The second uncle and the others naturally had no reason to refuse, and upon hearing that Chu Xiangqiang’s first order was for tens of thousands of bamboo products.

Uncle Qin was just as Chu Xiangqian thought. He was worried that everyone in the forest farm would be involved and it would not be completed in three or five months.

Moreover, people who know how to do carpentry and bamboo stripping work, even if they teach women, the elderly, and children to learn from the forestry farm, they will not be able to keep busy.

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity and said, "The delivery time must not be delayed that long. It is best to summon carpenters and bamboo craftsmen from several villages around the forest farm to teach everyone.

Or the forest farm may hand over part of the orders to carpenters and bamboo craftsmen in each village.At the same time, we summoned experienced masters to formulate a standard.

To avoid shoddy workmanship, which will affect subsequent orders. "

"Okay," Uncle Qin nodded without hesitation, and then said worriedly, "I'm worried that if the Forestry Bureau and the commune know about the order, they will take the business away.

It will be difficult for me to explain to the villagers and people in other villages at that time. "

Chu Xiangqian smiled and promised, "I will sign a contract with the forest farm in the name of the unit. If an outsider interferes, the contract will be invalid.

To put it bluntly, I am helping the folks at the forest farm and fellow villagers in nearby villages earn more.

If the country people have money, they can still get some food in exchange.

If the Forestry Bureau and the commune take over, the units in the south really don't have to spend money to buy bamboo products from the capital. "

Uncle Qin and Accountant Jiang were very happy. This was really a good thing that could save lives.

He hurriedly gave Chu Qian a thumbs up.
