When leaving Wu Laoer's home, Lao Liu told Wu Laoer,"Brother, I'm leaving. Don't drink too much. If you drink too much, something will happen."

On the way home, Lao Liu suggested to He Yuzhu," Brother, can you collect those two things from my house for me?"

He Yuzhu replied,"Of course, Uncle Liu.

Xiaofei has been living and eating at my house, and I am embarrassed to take advantage of him.

Just these things, I'll give you a total of 8 yuan. To round it up,

I might have to come to your commune again in the future and stay at your house, so I'll give you 10 yuan. What do you think?"

"Great, you are so generous bro. I'll wrap it up for you when you get home"

"In fact, these are not valuable items. They can be wrapped in scrap newspapers instead of cloth. Maybe the cloth is not as valuable as the newspaper."

"Hehe, we really don’t have newspapers at home, but my son got a lot of rags."

After returning home, Lao Liu really wrapped the things in rags and handed them to He Yuzhu. He was actually a little worried that He Yuzhu would regret it.

He Yuzhu handed Lao Liu a note of five yuan and five pieces of one dollar,"Uncle Liu, tomorrow I’ll treat you to a meal of porridge and two steamed buns in the morning."

"Of course that's no problem"

"Uncle Liu, I have something to tell you.

Now the city is getting rid of the four olds, which are old ideas, old culture, old customs and old habits.

The people are very supportive.

But some old scholars like some weird things, which they call fun.

A colleague of mine sold a small wine glass at home with a little red rooster painted on the outside, and made three yuan.

I was so envious when I saw it.

That's three days' wages for him.

So I also tried to collect some, and now I have earned dozens.

You can also give it a try and collect some secretly in and outside the village.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, I’ll teach you a simple method.

Those bowls and plates, if you don't usually see that style, there are six-character seals on the bottom, they are basically worth 80 cents.

If it's not worth it, it's only 80 cents. If it's worth money, maybe it can be sold for three yuan."

"Hehe, how can I have the spare money to collect those things, and who can I sell them to? He

Yuzhu handed another cigarette to Old Liu,"Uncle Liu, let's do this. If you really dare to collect it, just collect it according to the method I told you."

I give up to five yuan for large items, such as vases and the like.

Smaller items, such as plates, bowls, etc., up to two pieces.

If there is any damage, the price will be halved; if it is too damaged, the price will be halved.

You take it back and sell it to me for 50 cents.

I will give you 20 yuan as the cost. If you have items, use them to offset the cost.

I'll give you fifty cents for everything.

If you dare to collect it, write me an IOU and I'll lend you 20 yuan.

I think I might come to your commune every month."

Lao Liu was a little moved,"Brother, what if I don't accept it correctly and you don't accept it?"

"As long as it's porcelain, it doesn't matter if it's painted or unpainted on the outside, or it's cyan.

As long as it's stamped and has six characters at the bottom, it's fine.

If I don't want it, it's mine.

But you must collect it quietly and not in a big way. Can it be done?"

"Brother, how about I try it for a month? He

Yuzhu asked Liu Xinmin to write an IOU and then gave him 20 yuan.

Before going to bed, He Yuzhu asked Lao Liu,"Uncle Liu, are there any good-looking widows in your village?""

Lao Liu smiled knowingly,"Brother, what's wrong? Are you interested in them?"

"What's the price for this widow?"

"If you are an old customer, just Sanmao. If it's your first time here, I should give you eight cents anyway. He

Yuzhu said cooperatively,"That's really a bit expensive."

Okay, okay, go to sleep, Uncle Liu.

Let’s have a good chat next time."

The next day, He Yuzhu and Liu Fei set off to the town again. A new round of pig collection operations had begun.

They asked the guard uncle whether Secretary Zhang Quanfa was in the commune compound

"Uncle, I'm here again today. Is Secretary Zhang here? He Yuzhu asked, passing a cigarette.

"Oh, comrades from the steel rolling mill, Secretary Zhang is already here."

The guard replied. A woman happened to walk into the courtyard at this time, so he asked her for help.

"Director Lu, this comrade from the capital wants to see Secretary Zhang. Please take him there. I have other matters at my door."

"Okay, come with me. Director Lu responded, so He Yuzhu quickly followed.

"Secretary Zhang, there is a comrade here looking for you. Director Lu introduced Zhang Quanfa and then left.

He Yuzhu walked into the office, handed over a cigarette and introduced himself:"Secretary Zhang, I was late yesterday and didn't see you."

I am the deputy director of purchasing at Beijing Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. This is my letter of introduction."

He took out the letter of introduction from his bag and handed it to Zhang Quan. After reading the letter of introduction, Zhang Quan gave it to He Yuzhu

"Please sit down, please sit down. Zhang Quan said, and then shouted,"Yu Jie, make a cup of tea and come over.""

"Comrade He, what business do you have in Changyang?

What supplies need to be purchased? There is nothing good in our rural areas here."

"Elderly people say that the countryside is a vast land with great potential. I went to the countryside to purchase meat supplies on behalf of the steel rolling mill.

Mainly to meet the construction progress of the country's current urgent projects.

Last year, workers worked overtime to keep up with the schedule, but there was not enough meat supply. Many workers were severely malnourished and even fainted or died.

After investigation and study, relevant departments will apply for approval to allow relevant units to independently purchase emergency supplies within a certain range to ensure the health of workers."

He Yuzhu took out a piece of paper from his bag and handed it over.

"This is a photocopy of the red-headed document issued by the superior authority to our factory. Secretary Zhang please take a look."

Zhang Quanfa looked at it and gave it to He Yuzhu.

At this time, Yu Jie came over with a teacup. He Yuzhu took the tea and thanked him:"I'm really thirsty."

"Secretary Zhang, the workers in our steel rolling mill live a very hard life.

There was a worker in the compound where I lived, who was also my childhood friend. The year before last, he fainted on the spot due to malnutrition and was run over by a lathe and half of his body was broken.

He left at home a widowed mother and three and a half children.

Before his death, his little daughter was still in her mother's womb.

Even so, other people who should work overtime still have to work overtime.

Our factory cannot hold back key projects. Do you think so?"

After Zhang Quan read the documents and purchase certificates, he felt that what He Yuzhu said was true and began to waver.

"Comrade He, I understand what you are saying and am willing to help.

But the problem is, firstly, we don’t have any extra meat, and secondly, this is not in line with the spirit of the policy. How do I deal with this?"

"Secretary Zhang, you have also read my work permit, you have checked the purchase certificate, and you have even checked the internal red-headed documents.

Why doesn't it comply with the policy?

Do you know that our factory is a department-level unit?

In other words, our factory director is now the director of the innovation committee.

How is his status compared to yours?

The leader who issued the document was at the provincial or ministerial level.

Would they not know if they could do it?

We are here to turn meat into energy for building socialism and shine for the country, not to use it on the black market to seek unjust gains.

If you feel that I am not trustworthy, you can send meat to our factory and confirm it in person.

Now that winter is coming, we are in urgent need of meat to encourage the workers, and we also ask Secretary Zhang to lend a helping hand."

Zhang Quan was silent for a while, and He Yuzhu handed him a cigarette and lit it for him.

He also lit one and drank tea while waiting for a response.

"Comrade He, how much quantity does your factory need?"

"Secretary Zhang, our factory has more than 10,000 employees. Of course, the more, the better.

But we don’t want to embarrass the local authorities.

You squeeze in as much as you can, and we'll be more relaxed.

In addition, in order to thank the local government for their support, the factory promised to send a publicity team to show you movies, etc."

"What about the price? It can't be lower than the unified purchase, right?"

"This is not possible. If it is really lower than the unified purchase price, then you are really making a mistake.

It must be higher, and we can’t let the place suffer."

"So what is the specific price?"

"It mainly depends on whether you provide raw pigs or clean pork.

We can give you 50 cents per catty for pigs, which is already nearly 10 cents higher than the unified purchase price."
