Yan Fugui hurriedly went home, took out a box from the closet, picked through it and took 10 copper coins.
But after thinking about it, I took another 20.
To avoid making mistakes, only a few of the 10 copper coins are valuable old things, which will make Chu Qianqian feel dissatisfied.
Carrying 30 copper coins, Yan Fugui ignored the neighbors in the front yard who were still watching the excitement.
He knocked on the door and entered the back-seat room. He smiled and said to Chu Qianqian, who was having breakfast with Aiyuan, "Qianqian, Aiyuan, you are eating!"
Aiyuan couldn't help but murmur in her heart. People these days basically abide by it and don't come to the door during meal time.
Moreover, when someone treats someone, as soon as the guest comes in, he will take the initiative to take out the food stamps and hand them to the host.
Chu Qianqian shook his head at Aiyuan, who was pouting unhappy.
Ai Yuan swallowed his complaints, but his expression didn't get much better.
Chu Qianqian didn't get up, and didn't even put down the bowl and chopsticks. He smiled and said, "Have you eaten, Third Master? Or maybe some millet porridge?"
Yan Fugui naturally saw that Aiyuan's expression was not good, and waved his hand quickly, "No, no, my family has already prepared breakfast. I will go back to eat later."
Ai Yuan's complexion finally improved. He finished the millet porridge in the bowl in a few mouthfuls and said, "Brother, I'm going to clean up the stove under the eaves."
After Aiyuan left, Chu Qianqian looked at Yan Fugui and asked, "Third uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it. There is no need for politeness between us."
After hearing this, Yan Fugui felt relieved.
He took out 30 copper coins from his pocket and said, "Go forward and help the third uncle take a look. How about it?"
Chu Xiangqian thought that Yan Fugui wanted to exchange some coarse grains, miscellaneous grains or something with him.
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he grabbed a stack of 10 copper coins and put them in his hands.
The voice of +1+1 suddenly came to mind.
After 10 consecutive rings, Chu Xiangqian secretly said that Yan Laozhao was quite reliable this time.
The interest in the remaining 20 copper coins is even greater.
Holding a stack in each hand, the sound of increasing gold coupons sounded in his mind again.
Suddenly a sound of +27 gold coupons sounded, and Chu Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned.
I suppressed my excitement and observed one by one, and soon I saw a copper coin worth one or two from Fengtian Guangxu Kui.
Chu Xiangqian didn't know much about copper coins, but he knew that a copper coin with +27 gold coupons would definitely be worth more than ten million in the future.
Even 20 to 30 million is possible.
Chu Xiangqian didn't mean to be polite this time, and he wasn't worried about Yan Laozha raising the price.
Put all 30 copper coins into his pocket and secretly put them into the Novice Village warehouse.
He glanced at it, expanded the aperture to 0.56 meters, and said with a smile, "Third uncle, what do you want to change?"
Yan Fugui was so shrewd that he knew at a glance that he had definitely made a mistake.
Among those thirty copper coins, there must be something good that I underestimated.
He just asked him to ask to come back. Just by looking at Chu Xiangqiang's posture, he knew that if he did this, he would definitely offend Chu Xiangqiang.
Since Chu Xiangqian asked him to set a price, Yan Fugui thought to himself that if he raised the price, he would not actually suffer a loss.
After thinking about it, "Go forward, how about you give me 50 kilograms of grain?"
After saying that, Yan Fugui regretted it again. Now the price of white noodles has increased to one yuan a pound.
"Wait a minute, the third uncle didn't explain clearly, it's 50 pounds of white flour."
Chu Qianqian almost laughed, but he would not agree directly.
He pretended to be embarrassed and thought for several minutes before shaking his head and saying, "White flour is hard to come by. How about I give you 15 pounds of dried meat and you can go to the night market yourself or find a trustworthy company to exchange for food?"
"That won't work, that won't work." Yan Fugui naturally understands the principles of bargaining.
"I'm a primary school teacher, so I don't have the connections to find someone to exchange for food. Besides, fresh fat meat in the night market only costs 2 yuan. This dried meat definitely can't be sold at that price.
15 pounds of dried meat can be exchanged for 25 pounds of white flour at most. Go ahead, you are bargaining too hard. "
Chu Qianqian couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that in just over two months, the price of white noodles in the night market had doubled.
But think about it, now is the most difficult period for winter wheat, which will only mature in a month or two.
Early rice in the south has just been planted, or will be planted soon.
The food on the market is all stored food, so it is naturally more expensive.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, "Then I'll give you another pheasant and a hare. If there are any more, I won't want them."
Yan Fugui calculated carefully and found that the pheasants and hares given by Chu Xiangqian were basically 4 or 5 pounds in size.
Then he nodded, "Okay."
After just agreeing, Yan Fugui was once again worried about the trouble of going to the night market and whispered, "Go forward, can all the 15 kilograms of dried meat be replaced with chestnuts?"
There are already more than 2,700 kilograms of chestnuts stored in the Xinshou Village warehouse, but last night I just said there was a shortage of food in the mountains.
Chestnuts have become a life-saving item for people in the mountains. Now, if they suddenly take out 7 or 80 kilograms, even a fool will know that they were talking nonsense last night.
If you just deal with Yan Fugui alone, there won't be a big problem.
What I'm afraid of is that other people in the yard will ask me to exchange for a few dozen kilograms. Except for my own family, Aiguo's family, and Aimin's family, the remaining 16 families will have to pay three to five hundred kilograms.
This number is really a lot.
It's better not to get into this trouble.
Shaking his head, "I have just been on a business trip for two months, and I still don't know the situation in the mountains. And I told you last night that there is a high probability that it cannot be replaced."
Yan Fugui sighed, but Chu Qianqian felt something in his heart and said with a smile, "Third uncle, tell Jiefang to find him to send Xiaonan Guangsheng.
That boy is now a buyer at the steel rolling mill. Not only is there no trouble in exchanging grain with him, but the boy also wants to complete his monthly purchasing tasks. I definitely want to help with this. "
Yan Fugui's eyes lit up and he secretly said that he was confused.
Even if Nan Guangsheng is not hired, his second son is now a temporary worker in the street canteen. He can still get food by taking dried meat, pheasants and hares to the street.
Chu Xiangqian guessed Yan Fugui's thoughts and advised, "Third uncle, please don't harm your family's liberation."
Yan Fugui was stunned, and then heard Chu Xiangqian continue, "Let Jiefang take it to the street to exchange it. This time it's no problem. But the street director and office chief want it next time, where can you let Jiefang go?" Get some meat and go back to work?"
Yan Fugui cursed himself secretly and couldn't help but feel grateful to Chu Xiangqian, "You are still thoughtful."
After chatting for a while, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but hint that he had to take Aiyuan to the supply and marketing cooperative.
After Yan Fugui understood, he was about to get up and go home when he immediately remembered that his purpose of coming to Chu Xiangqian was to plead for his eldest son.
I couldn't help but murmur, am I so hungry that my brain can't work?
Embarrassed, he sat down again and softly begged for Yan Jiecheng's mercy.
Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Yan Fugui angrily, "Then the punishment will be increased by 2 months."
Yan Fugui twitched the corner of his mouth. Last time, he agreed that he would be punished by cleaning the alleys and public toilets for three months, and two garbage dumps in the alleys for half a year.
Now, if two months are added, it means that the diligent sweeping of floors, public toilets, and garbage dumps in the first month were all in vain.
But Yan Fugui didn't dare to refute, after all, the punishment was much better than what he had feared before.
"I'll have a good meal when I get back, so this kid won't act clever again."
Chu Qianqian curled his lips, Yan Jiecheng was lazy, Yan Fugui, his biological father, couldn't possibly not know.
But he didn't persuade or scold him, which was tantamount to condoning Yan Jiecheng.
However, it was natural for Yan Jiecheng to endure hardship for two more months. For Chu Xiangqian, it was because he wished that the Yan family and his son would do something wrong again.
"Third uncle, this is the fault of his father. You have been a teacher for a long time. You cannot use the same attitude towards students to teach your own son."
Yan Fugui was stunned and asked quickly, "How do you say this?"
Chu Qianqian was secretly happy, "You and the second uncle are two extremes. He is all about education with sticks, and you are all about truth.
But children from teenagers to seventeen or eighteen, especially boys, are the age group with the most ideas.
If you just beat the child like the second uncle without being reasonable, the child will feel resentful.
On the contrary, if you just talk the truth and don't fight a few times, even if you are honest, you won't be honest for a few days, right? "
Yan Fugui thought for a while and couldn't help but sigh, "You can see it clearly. I said that there are some children in school who can understand the truth clearly, but somehow they become naughty and don't like to study after a few days. It turns out that the problem is On top of this.”
Yan Fugui frowned when he realized his mistake. That night I asked Jie Cheng to kneel on the washboard.
If he's still not honest, I'll beat him with a feather duster.
Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy. If the third uncle also whipped Yan Jiecheng, it would definitely be the first time in this courtyard.
It's a pity that Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that he ran out to sweep the streets. Otherwise, seeing it with his own eyes would have made him feel better that day.
——
After seeing off the third uncle, Chu went out to call Aiyuan and rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When they arrived at the place, people from the supply and marketing cooperative couldn't help but become curious when they saw Aiyuan driving a young man's car to work.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this kind of look. Anyway, after meeting Director Tang of the supply and marketing cooperative, the misunderstanding would be solved in a short time.
Aiyuan showed a proud smile, thinking that my brother is back, let's see who dares to bully him again.
Arriving downstairs, Chu entered Director Tang's office by familiar means.
The man surnamed Tang was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up after seeing Ai Yuan.
He quickly stood up, walked around the desk, stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Comrade Chu is back from a business trip?"
Chu nodded forward, thinking that he would go to his father-in-law's house later.
Moreover, we agreed yesterday to go to Xue's house for breakfast. If we delay any longer, it will inevitably make the old lady and others worried.
Just say a few polite words and say what you mean directly.
When Director Tang heard that there were 10 pheasants and hares, his attitude was very cordial.
Chu Xiangqian would not ask for money this time, and asked Aiyuan to go out to work, and whispered, "Director Tang, I have been on a business trip for two months, and there are a lot of delays in the unit, and there are leaders and father-in-law who need to move around.
If it's convenient for you, how about giving me some Chinese and Maotai? "
If it were anyone else, Director Tang would still have scruples, but Chu Xiangqian had gotten a lot of fish and game before.
They can be considered acquaintances.
And two months later, there is no trouble at all in this regard, so I feel more confident when trading again.
As for cigarettes and alcohol, supply and marketing cooperatives can have as much as they want.
Anyway, it's not difficult at all.
Moreover, he would not give meat tickets, and Chu Xiangqian would not give tobacco or alcohol tickets. This exchange was a private transaction.
It's like everything is in Director Tang's hands.
When Chu Qianqian went out, he wandered outside for five or six minutes and took out a bamboo basket containing 10 pheasants and hares.
Soon I saw Director Tang riding his bicycle to the agreed remote place.
The two exchanged bamboo baskets and a sack with each other, took another look at the things, and couldn't help laughing.
After muttering a few words and watching Director Tang hurried away on his bicycle, Chu looked forward and left, got on his bicycle and walked to an alley, where the sack was put into the storage compartment.
Because both parties are exchanging tickets without tickets, the price cannot be calculated based on the night market price.
But for a pound of game, Director Tang still charges 1 yuan and 50 cents per pound.
Exactly 6 Chinese bars and 5 bottles of Maotai.
Moreover, Old Tang also said that he hopes to trade again after two days.
Chu Xiangqian was naturally fine.
Naturally, you can smoke Zhonghua by yourself, and you can actually buy Zhonghua and Moutai on Hong Kong Island, and the price is lower than in the mainland, and you don’t need a ticket.
But the price of exported Moutai a few decades later is very different from the price of Moutai drunk in the mainland.
When I think about the future, Moutai in 60 years will be worth 1.06 million.
1.51 million in 1959.
The 1953 ones can even be sold for more than 3.5 million yuan, which makes Chu Xiangqian more enthusiastic about collecting Maotai.
Of course, if Chu Xiangqian still needs to sell Moutai for money after decades of retention, his life will be in vain.
So he definitely won't sell it.
When you are in a happy mood or encounter some happy event, take out a bottle or two and drink it. That is called enjoyment and dignity.
——
Not to mention that Aiyuan was at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative today. After chatting for a day, Chu Xiangqian rode his bicycle and hurriedly came to the compound near Princess Tomb with many gifts.
When the security personnel on duty saw him, they were stunned for a few seconds before they came to their senses.
The person who had previously given Chu Qianqian a packet of Chinese food, smiled and asked Chu Qianqian, who had stopped the car, "I heard that you are on a business trip?"
Chu Qianqian took out the big front door, looked around, and threw it away at the guard post.
Then he nodded and said with a smile, "Don't mention it, I shouldn't have agreed. Not only will I be on a business trip for 2 months, I will have to go on a business trip again soon."
"That's a good thing," the guard said with a smile. "If it were me, I would agree immediately. Besides, when the leader asks you to do things, it's because of your ability.
Maybe it won’t be long before I have to salute you when I see you. "
"Come on," Chu Qianqian shook his head, "If you take the train for two days and two nights, you will know how uncomfortable it is to go on a business trip. My feet were swollen last time.
If it weren't for my relatively good health, I wouldn't be able to walk steadily. "
The guard shook his head angrily, "You just live a very leisurely life. If I let you go to the army to train for three to five months, you will know that just being able to sit still is a blessing."
Chu Xiangqian quickly gave up his thoughts of chatting with the other party and took the initiative to open the bamboo basket behind the bicycle frame for him to check.
After the guard saw it, he looked at Chu forward with more and more eager eyes.
Chu was so frightened that he quickly got on his bicycle and walked inside.
As I walked, I was thinking that it was just three pounds of meat, half a pound of tea, five pounds of chestnuts, two pounds of red dates, three pounds of preserved peaches, a pair of pig ears, a pig tail, and a big fish.
It actually made them, the security guards who never lacked food rations, envious.
When I arrived outside Xue's house, I had just parked my bicycle when I saw the door suddenly opened, revealing Xue Jinglan's pretty and excited face.
Chu stretched out his hands forward, "Lan Lan, I'm back."
Xue Jinglan couldn't bear it now, her eyes turned red, and she rushed over and threw herself into Chu Qianqian's arms.
