Rebirth of the 80s New Farmer

Chapter 523 Can't Buy Pork, Buy Luncheon Meat

Farm reclamation companies and agricultural cooperatives are not the same system, but there is no difference between the two in terms of business. The stores of the company are also called supply and marketing cooperatives.

The store area of ​​the 42nd company is not large, it is not as large as two-thirds of the area of ​​the supply and marketing cooperative of the Weida team. Because of the size, the stores inside are piled up and look very messy.

Two salesmen, a man and a woman, were chatting.

The man is in his 40s and the woman is in her 20s.

Wan Feng still knew these two people.

Even if the man is the manager of the 42nd Company Supply and Marketing Cooperative, his surname is Tang, and everyone calls him Manager Tang.

The woman is the daughter of the company's maintenance company commander, her surname is Liu, but Wan Feng forgot her name.

Mr. Tang's family has six daughters and no son. He is a tragic figure.

In [-], the county's foreign trade did not know which country bought Shanlihong for [-] cents a catty.

This purchase price was enough to make people fall into a state of madness at the time, and everyone went crazy at once, and Shanlihong, which was worthless in the mountains and plains before, became a favorite.

But there are standards for other people's acquisitions, not for small ones.

The Shanlihong here is very small because there are children picking it all year round, and the largest one is only the size of a finger.

These crazy people turned their attention to Maozi.

On the side of Maozi in the center between Sijitun and Dalinzi, there is a long Jiangxin island, which is an uninhabited island.

The Shanlihong on that island was not affected by anyone all the year round, so the Shanlihong's size was a little bit strange, not inferior in size to Hawthorn.

When fishermen who were fishing on the river went to the island to pick, people's crazy eyes shifted to the Jiangxin Island.

In the later period, these people even had records of running to the Maozi territory on the other side to pick them.

Those fishing boats in the river started the business of ferrying people to Jiangxin Island to pick mountain reds. It costs one yuan for each person to go back and forth, and one yuan for things.

The boat is a wooden boat with a length of five or six meters. There are two oars on board, and people sit on the boat to pull the oars forward.

People on the Longjiang River call this kind of boat Weihu, which means very small.

At that time, there were only four of them in Dalinzi belt 42 on the riverside. At this time, none of them went fishing to transport people back and forth to Jiangxin Island to pick Shanlihong.

At that time, fish cost [-] cents a catty, and a boat might not be able to earn [-] or [-] yuan by fishing for a day. It is much easier to send people back and forth to make money.

There are two trips a day, even if you send five people in one boat, the round trip will cost you ten yuan, plus the Shanlihong for ten people will cost you another one and it will cost you 20 yuan.

Some profit-minded people send Sanchuan people there for 30 yuan, which is much better than fishing.

So in those days, dozens of people gathered by the river every day to run back and forth by boat.

Manager Tang and his wife also joined the army of picking and selling Shanlihong. The couple went to Jiangxin Island and could pick more than [-] catties of Shanlihong a day.

After deducting the three yuan round-trip boat fare, there are more than ten yuan left.

The tragedy happened at this time.

The half of the river from the riverside to Jiangxin Island is nicknamed Dagunianggou.

A few years ago, when a boat of female educated youths sailed back to Qingniandian at night, the boat was detained in the river because it was overloaded, and seven of the nine people on board died. That's how Dagunianggou was called.

Since then, there has been a taboo for fishing in this popular boat, and there should be no more than seven people on a boat.

But on this day, whether it was because the owner of the boat was obsessed with money or the people on the boat lost their minds, there were exactly nine people on board the boat that Manager Tang and his wife boarded.

Something happened when I went there, and the boat capsized when it reached the center of the tributary.

None of the nine people in the boat survived.

Manager Tang and his wife died for money, leaving behind a family of five or six daughters.

Wan Feng looked at Manager Tang in a very strange way now. Except for him, no one in the 42nd Company would have thought that the couple would go west together in a few years.

He wondered if he should remind them in the future?
Things may not necessarily develop like this, maybe they will hide when there are some changes. After all, Wan Feng has seen the changes now, and many people he has never known have appeared.

Isn't that a change?
Let's wait until [-]. It's still a few years away. Even if there is no change, it will not be too late to remind them.

Manager Tang and the girl surnamed Liu didn't take it seriously when they saw the two children coming in, and continued their story.

"Sister, what do you want to buy? Tell me what you like."

"I want to buy a new pencil case, a new book and a new pen."

Wan Feng was very happy to hear this request. Is his sister asking for progress?But she doesn't seem to have even graduated from middle school!

Wan Fang picked out a tin pencil case that she thought looked the best on the surface, and bought a dozen newly arrived pencils with floral skins.

There are small flowers and grass on the pencil body, kittens and puppies, which are much more beautiful than the grass pencils used before.

"What else to buy?"

The next step was to buy food. Wan Fang's eyes were on the non-staple food counter for a long time, as if my brother had bought everything in the store.

What I didn't buy was bread and fruit hard candy.

Wan Fang glanced around for a long time, then pointed to a can of apples.

The elder brother bought canned yellow peaches this time, not apples.

"Except for canned peaches, take one bottle for the rest of the canned fruits." Wan Feng said to the people at the counter.

In fact, there are not many kinds, white pears in sugar water, grapes in sugar water, apples in sugar water, all gone.

"Take two more boxes of luncheon meat and a bottle of canned pork."

Since we can't buy pork, why don't we buy canned pork?

Luncheon meat is a kind of flat iron box with a box-opening key-like thing on it, and the lid can be opened by twisting it in circles.

These things cost nearly six dollars in total.

Wan Fang held her notebooks and pencil case.

Wan Feng put the canned luncheon meat in his pocket, and walked out of the store with four cans in his arms. In fact, he hadn’t finished shopping yet, and he wanted to buy a few bottles of beer for Lao Tzu. He saw that there was beer for sale in the store.

But they couldn't carry so many things without their pockets.

Come back later and buy some more beers.

When I got home, my mother was squatting in front of the door to squeeze the fish, and the fish I caught were full in a basin.

"Your father has not caught as many fish as your brothers in one morning. He is a waste." The mother probably forgot that she was going to beat up her sister just now, and her face was already full of joy.

This is when Shanggang is online, and the fish and waste materials that cannot be caught are still hooked.

Glancing at the canned food in Wan Feng's arms, he didn't say anything.

Wan Feng was listening to the tape recorder in the room, but the sound of the tape recorder was a little slow and very unpleasant.

This is only when the battery is dead.

Wan Feng put down the can and took a cloth bag to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

Bought six bottles of beer and an electrical socket plus a few meters of wire.

When I got home, I pulled down the knife switch, connected a wire from the knife switch to the socket, and finally nailed the socket to the wall.

Close the knife switch, plug in the power cord of the tape recorder, and then listen to the tape recorder this time without using the battery.
