Liu Haizhong was not as caring as Yan Fugui. Besides, Yan Fugui promised to give him another 100 yuan, but he had no reason not to agree.
And compared to Yan Fugui, whose salary is only 30.5 yuan a month, Liu Haizhong, who earns 72.3 yuan a month, has a lot of spare money.
Upon hearing that Yan Fugui asked Jiefang to pay him back 110 yuan, Liu Haizhong simply followed this standard and put it on Liu Guangtian's head.
Just as he was about to go home to get the money, he was stopped by Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Qianqian looked at Yan Fugui and said, "Third uncle, just give me the money and go home. I will take care of the liberation work for you tomorrow."
After the conversation with Liu Haizhong just now, Yan Fugui guessed that there should be copper coins under the rag.
After all, when the copper coins are piled together, even if they are covered with a rag, the traces on the rag can still easily guess what they are.
He smiled and said, "Go forward, I just exchanged 4 copper coins and 1 silver dollar for a pheasant with you. What Lao Liu brought was also copper coins, so there is no need to hide it from me."
Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at Mr. Yan and looked at Liu Haizhong.
Seeing the questioning expression on Liu Haizhong's face, Chu shrugged forward and nodded, "The third uncle did exchange a pheasant with me just now."
Only then did Liu Haizhong feel relieved. He took the initiative to lift the rag, looked at Yan Fugui and said, "Old Yan, you study more than me and you are a teacher. Help me see if these copper coins are good things."
Yan Fugui chuckled, "That would be embarrassing."
Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly, but Chu Qianqian frowned slightly, secretly wondering whether this Yan Laoqou was a hidden master?
However, it didn’t take long for Yan Laokou to reveal his secret.
People like him who are half-informed are often the favorite targets of scammers who are professional in the antiques industry.
Fortunately, Yan Fugui had no money, otherwise he would have been cheated without discussion.
Chu Qianqian interrupted the enraptured Yan Fugui angrily, "Okay, third uncle, you'd better take it easy."
After saying that, he took a copper coin from Yan Fugui's hand and threw it on the table in front of Liu Haizhong.
"I don't want this one. I advise you to send it back to your friend's house soon."
Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui were stunned for a moment, then realized that Chu Xiangqian was implying that the copper coin just now was fake.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw Chu looking forward and placing one after another on the table in front of him.
Or just take a few glances and put it in front of bangs.
This means that he, Chu Xiangqian, is an expert who can tell the truth from lies at a glance.
In the end, Chu Xiangqian only left 26 copper coins, "Second uncle, I will give you 2 pheasants and 1 hare, totaling 12 pounds. What do you think?"
Liu Haizhong nodded blankly. 10 pounds is equal to 12 yuan, so he made 2 yuan.
But out of the 40 copper coins, 14 were fake, which made Liu Haizhong unhappy.
He secretly scolded the friend for being unreliable, but then he thought about it, if he was reliable, he wouldn't sell the 40 copper coins to himself for 10 yuan.
He even said that as long as the experts said it was fake, he would refund the money.
Calculating silently, 14 copper coins can be returned to 3 yuan and 50 cents.
In this way, I used my capital of 6 yuan and 50 cents to sell it for 12 yuan.
It's 'unreliable' here and there, it's totally the God of Wealth.
Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I will ask Guangtian to sell the two pheasants on the street in his name tomorrow. There is only one rabbit left, and I will open the meat store at my house tomorrow."
Chu Xiangqian naturally did not lose money. Anyway, he had lowered the price by buying copper coins, and he could sell some of the pheasants and hares squeezed in the warehouse.
Moreover, Liu Haizhong knew how to get rid of the fishy smell, so Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but look at Yan Fugui.
Lao Yan smiled awkwardly, "I'm not as good as the second uncle. His monthly salary is more than 40 yuan more than me!"
Liu Haizhong was immediately happy.
He didn't dare to compete with Chu Qianqian now, but being able to show off in front of Yan Fugui and spend a few dollars to eat a hare would satisfy his craving and gain face.
Not to mention, I made 8 yuan and 50 cents from Chu Xiangqian today.
Feeling happy, he smiled and said, "Go forward, after get off work tomorrow afternoon, I will go to my friend's place to look for it. If there are any good things again, I will come to your house to sit there."
The friends Liu Haizhong mentioned were nothing more than those apprentices and some co-workers.
These people either have some random copper coins hidden at home, or they have the opportunity to contact the steel rolling mill and purchase the copper coins used as raw materials for copper.
It's actually very easy as long as you remember what copper coins Chu Xiangqian asks for each time, and then go look for them in the raw material warehouse of the factory, taking him with you three or five times a day.
It's a pity that Chu Xiangqian didn't know about this at all. In his mind, since the steel rolling mill is called a steel rolling mill, it is naturally related to steel.
Moreover, Liu Haizhong said that he bought these copper coins from his friends, so Chu Xiangqian didn't even realize that the steel rolling mill was a great Feng Shui place to earn gold coupons.
When Liu Haizhong went home and took 100 yuan for himself, Chu Xiangqian sent him and Yan Fugui away, closed the door and put 30 copper coins and 5 silver dollars into the warehouse.
The aperture expanded by half a meter again.
Among the 26 copper coins in Liu Haizhong, one actually gave himself a 7-point gold coupon, and many of the remaining copper coins were added with 2-point or 3-point gold coupons.
At this time, the aperture has been extended to 13.58 meters.
It's a pity that no new animals or fruit trees appeared again in the half-meter increase this time.
On the contrary, in the river east of Novice Village, there are faint signs of an island in the river.
On the shoal of the island in the river, there was a crab about half a catty in size, crawling with its teeth and claws.
Just when Chu Xiangqian thought that the island in the middle of the lake should be a paradise for amphibious aquatic animals, a tiger roar suddenly came from the island.
Chu Xiangqian was startled and then overjoyed.
This tiger is on the island in the middle of the lake, which is definitely a good thing for him.
Get a boat, stand on the river and shoot arrows or guns at tigers, so you don't have to worry about tigers entering the water and attacking you.
With anticipation, Chu Qianqian simply lay down and took a bath in the fountain pool in Xinshou Village, soaking all his clothes and boots in the water.
Ten minutes later, the pool water's built-in purification function not only refreshed Chu Qianqian's body, but also washed all his clothes.
Hanging the clothes to dry in the blacksmith shop, it was past 12 o'clock before I knew it.
Brush away the pheasants, hares and deer that emerged again, and collect the fruits from 3 chestnut trees, a jujube tree, and a pear tree.
Finally, after catching 200 kilograms of fish from the river, Chu Xiangqian left Xinshou Village with peace of mind and lay down on the bed to sleep.
The next morning, after having a simple breakfast, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang, with excited expressions on their faces, went to work on the street.
Find Duan Jidong in the office.
"Brother Duan, Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang from my yard went out to find three pheasants and one hare after get off work yesterday. I would like to ask if the canteen can accept them?"
"Of course," Duan Jidong nodded without thinking, "From now on, this matter will be entirely up to you, but when weighing, let people in the office come together to avoid difficulty in explaining.
As for the price, just the two of us know about it. If anyone wants to check the account, let him go to the director.
As long as there is no problem with the weighing, the director will not care whether you bought the meat for 1 yuan or 50 cents. "
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew there was something in Duan Jidong's words.
"Brother Duan, the purchase of this meat does cost 1 yuan per catty, but when brothers get chestnuts and red dates in the future, let's add it up and add it all up, how about that?"
Duan Jidong thought for a while and nodded quickly.
He doesn't want to be greedy for anything. After all, the canteen only pays 100 yuan a month.
If you want to make additional purchases, you have to report to the director.
I don't have much money, but I still have to support the 26th person in the unit, plus a lunch for two supernumeraries.
Thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian felt that let alone making money, being able to successfully complete this task would be a headache.
But Chu Xiangqian clearly asked Yan Jiefang and Liu Guangtian to cover for him, which meant that he sold these three pheasants and one rabbit to the street.
If you don't take something out of his hands, you will be sorry for yourself, the head of the office.
"By the way, I heard from Uncle Sun that you got three big fish back yesterday afternoon. Are you planning to go to Houhai to catch a few more fish this morning?"
Chu Qianqian nodded and heard Duan Jidong continue, "Qianqian, since meat is so expensive, the quantity must be controlled in the future, but since fish is only 3 cents per pound, we need to get more.
And eating fish is also eating meat, but you don't have to worry about other units gossiping. "
Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this matter. Anyway, whether it was meat or fish, he would just consume the 100 yuan every month.
"Okay, you have the final say on this matter. I only need to get food from outside, and then ask someone to cook a dish for lunch and steam some steamed buns. I don't care about anything else."
Duan Jidong chuckled and liked Chu Xiangqian, a partner who had clear powers and responsibilities and did not seize power.
Chu Qianqian thought of Wo Wo Tou, "By the way, since everyone pays food stamps and money to the office, then use the street food stamps issued by the office to buy food.
Then you have to be responsible for the procurement of food from now on. "
Duan Jidong wished that Chu Xiangqian didn't care about food.
Each person pays 2 taels of meal stamps and 2 cents every day, which means he can buy 2 taels of white noodles and 6 taels of stick noodles.
Then use the stick noodles to make the steamed buns, and you can definitely get the steamed buns for 7 taels and 5 yuan.
But at noon, the street only gave me 2 Wowotou, which was equivalent to making a profit of 3 taels and 5 yuan.
For 26 people, 273 kilograms of Wowotou will be put into the street's small treasury in one month.
From now on, as the head of the office, I won't have to be so demanding when my director wants to treat me to a treat.
As for meat, naturally it’s Chu Xiangqian.
"Going forward, the director should invite some leaders of the unit to dinner in a few days. Can you find someone to prepare a table of good food?"
Chu Xiangqian's heart moved. He was thinking about how to mention Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang's temporary workers to Duan Jidong, but he didn't want to fall asleep so he sent him a pillow.
He complained and said, "Brother Duan, I have no problem with game and big fish, but I am alone in the canteen with two non-staff members, so it is not easy to provide food for 28 people every day.
If you ask me to prepare a table of food and wine, it will really make things difficult for me. "
Duan Jidong was not stupid. He knew as soon as he heard that Chu Xiangqian wanted to make conditions.
He smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, the director has asked you to recruit two temporary workers to help in the canteen. Just tell me who you want to recruit."
When Chu Qianqian saw that his thoughts were seen through, he had no embarrassing thoughts.
He smiled and said, "Just those two guys Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang."
Duan Jidong knew at a glance that Chu Xiangqian must have taken advantage of others, but he didn't intend to care about it.
Otherwise, if you help others find jobs in the future, others may ruin your good fortune.
"Okay, I'll call them to the office later, and I'll personally issue them a temporary worker's work permit. It's 10 yuan a month, and you can have a bite in the cafeteria at noon.
As for the food stamps and money for lunch, forget it, they are considered as benefits for your canteen staff. "
This treatment is actually very good. After all, if there is no charge for lunch, it is equivalent to saving 6 kilograms of food and 6 yuan.
Chu Xiangqian hurriedly thanked him. He was giving himself face, so he had to remember and pay it back.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Duan, the director's treat is on me.
There is a descendant of Tan's cuisine in my yard, and he makes excellent Tan's and Sichuan cuisine.
When the time comes, I'll ask him to come to the street to help, and keep it to make you and the director look good. "
Duan Jidong was overjoyed.
Chu Qianqian continued in a low voice, "Go back later in the afternoon. I will bring back some more fish today. In the evening we will have a good meal of stewed fish with shredded radish in the cafeteria.
After eating, I will ask you to bring some shredded radish and stewed fish back to satisfy your sister-in-law and children's cravings.
But you have to pay for the wine. I have just started working, and what I need most is tobacco and alcohol tickets. "
"Okay," Duan Jidong was overjoyed. Chu Qianqian was treating him to a treat, and he had to stew two big fish no matter what. By then, he would eat one at night and take the other home, so that his wife and children could eat for two or three days.
"I've covered the wine. As for the tobacco and alcohol tickets, if you really need them, I'll ask someone for you. Then give me some game, and I'll keep it so you don't suffer any loss."
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, "It's settled then. When you go back in the evening, I'll get you half a twenty-pound dried wolf meat."
Duan Jidong was stunned. He thought it was only three to five kilograms at most, but he didn't expect that this guy had twenty kilograms of dried wolf meat.
Damn it, it seems that you still underestimated this kid's ability.
But that's okay, since it's dried meat in exchange for tobacco and alcohol tickets. Even if others find out, there's nothing you can do about it.
——
Half an hour later, Chu Xiangqian, who was sitting in the Public Security Bureau office and talking to Xue Hongmei, saw Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang knocking on the door and walking in with excited faces.
He took out the temporary worker's work permit and said, "Brother, our work is done."
Chu nodded forward, "Then let's make preparations in the cafeteria. First kill the 3 fish that we saved yesterday, chop some garlic, and cut 5 radishes into shreds. You can kill the fish again when I come back from fishing later."
Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang nodded hurriedly, and went to the courtyard, where the utility room had been converted into a canteen, to make preparations.
After the two left, Xue Hongmei said with a smile, "Go forward, don't forget the fish you promised me."
Chu Qianqian nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, I will ask Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang to send 5 big fish to your house today."
When Xue Hongmei heard that Chu Xiangqian had brought five big fish for herself, her eyes narrowed in laughter.
Secretly, Chu Xiangqian was not only capable, but also very generous.
With these five big fish, this year’s Chinese New Year will not only be more abundant, but also make you stand out in your husband’s family.
