Luo Xuan suddenly heard a loud laugh, "Hahaha, Luo Xuan? Why are you here? I was about to go to the school to find you!"
Liu Fugui jumped out from under the eaves of the street and reached out to hold Luo Xuan.
When he saw Luo Xuan's hand holding something that was not rubbish, Liu Fugui, who used to only like to plant his own land for others, certainly didn't mind showing courtesy to his benefactor when he saw it.
I saw him take the thresher in one hand.
"What are you carrying? Come on, come on, I'll help you carry it... Turtle son, what is this? Why is it so dirty?"
Liu Fugui took over the threshing machine, but he got black iron scraps in his hands. He felt regretful and cursed: "The dog said, where did you pick up this piece of scrap iron? Where did this come from?"
Was it dug out of the chimney or pulled out of the fire? Why is it so dirty?"
Luo Xuan glared at him, "Nowadays, everyone is rushing to pick up the dog poop on the road. It's such a big lump of iron, why don't you go pick up a piece for me and try it back?"
Liu Fugui already regretted his move to please Luo Xuan just now, but the threshing machine has changed hands, so he can't give it back to Luo Xuan, can he?
Without any choice,
Liu Fugui had no choice but to use his other clean hand to pull Luo Xuan to the catering service club, "Come on, come on, let's go in and have a meal! It's my treat at noon today."
"I'll pay and you treat me?"
Luo Xuan clapped his hands and said, "You'll make do with my bones, boil my oil, and then cook some dishes to entertain me. Finally, do I have to say thank you to you?"
Liu Fugui chuckled, "What are you talking about? What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine."
We eat and drink in the same house and walk around. I'll ask Fatty Gu to secretly change the plates for us to bigger ones and make the rice bowls more solid.
Those extra pieces of meat and the extra money of rice, aren’t they the result of my face? Doesn’t this mean that I also contributed a share?”
Luo Xuan just clapped his hands and made his hands too dirty, so he wanted to go into the catering service to wash his hands.
In the service center, there is free soap that can remove oil.
There is too much iron foam on the cast iron parts.
Luo Xuan clapped his hands, so that he had a clean hand, but now it was better: both hands were equally black and equally dirty.
no way,
When I went to find someone to process the products on my behalf, the ironware company didn't even put a wooden box on the thresher, not even a plastic bag.
Plastic bags, which were annoying to people in later generations, were still very valuable items in this period...especially rare.
Even if you occasionally see a plastic bag on the market, it goes without saying that it must be imported!
It would take another 10 years, that is, 1966, for our country to start producing plastic bags.
It's just that most people couldn't afford that thing at that time, and it was prohibitively expensive.
It was not until the 1980s that plastic bags began to become truly popular in rural areas.
Entered a catering service club.
Fatty Gu, as always, was sitting behind the high counter, making calculations and settling accounts there.
"Fatty Gu, let's have dinner!"
Liu Fugui patted the counter and said, "No one has come to eat yet, and your cook is not busy anyway, so give me a plate of twice-cooked pork."
Cut it thinner, don't be as thick-skinned as you, a fat guy like you...it won't taste good."
Fatty Gu raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Fugui who was making a fuss, "Fugui, you came here early in the morning, where did you pick up a piece of dog shit? Go to the production team to change some
You dare to come to my place to give me your work points?"
"Nonsence!"
Liu Fugui snorted, "If I, Liu Fugui, want to go to a restaurant next time, do I still have to sell things to sell things to get the few cents?"
Come on, come on, give me a bottle of Luzhou Daqu!
In a while, I’m going to invite my eldest cousin’s second son’s wife’s brother’s third cousin for a drink.”
During this period, Luzhou Daqu was rated as a famous wine earlier than Wuliangye. Its reputation in Bashu Province is actually much greater than that of Wuliangye.
Today Liu Fugui named Luzhou Daqu. This wine is already available in catering service companies, and it is also the best famous wine.
Since Liu Fugui is willing to order such good wine, it seems that the person Liu Fugui wants to invite today does have some background.
So Fatty Gu yawned and asked him, "You've been tossing around mountains and rivers for a long time, who is your brother-in-law's brother-in-law?"
Liu Fugui lowered his voice and said, "How are you talking? What are you talking about? Brother-in-law's brother-in-law? Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, do you understand? What you said is so ugly and vulgar! I will scare you to death if I tell you about my identity as a relative."
Fatty Gu stretched out his chubby hand and drilled his ear hole vigorously, sucking in a cold breath with a hiss in his mouth.
While squinting his eyes, he glanced at Liu Fugui'er sideways, "Don't worry, the bench under my butt is made of fine pine wood...it's very strong!
You should tell me and let me hear how big his background is? See if you can scare me to the ground."
"snort!"
Liu Fugui whispered mysteriously, "Deputy director of the county planning committee, it is possible that he will be seated next year. Fatty, do you think he is big?"
Fatty Gu was shocked, "Well, it's really big! Why do you have such a noble relative?"
"What's this?"
Liu Fugui stood up and said, "How many poor relatives does the emperor have? After all, I, Liu Fugui, am also a well-known figure on the street. Which leader in the nearby township offices do I, Liu Fugui, not recognize?"
"Then you have to be known to others!"
Fatty Gu's face was full of disapproval, "I also know the mayor, but the question is, do they treat me like an onion? You have to admit, at best, they treat me like an onion. I don't want to lose the roundness. It's fun to knead it."
When you get angry, you can kick me like a ball and roll me around like a marble."
People like Liu Fugui and Fatty Gu usually like to talk about international events and comment on the situation in Africa and South America.
What he kept talking about was the personnel changes in the capital and the latest trends in the province.
Today, the two of them made an exception and talked about cadres at the township office level. This was already the lowest-level and least newsworthy topic in their mouths.
People like Liu Fugui and Fatty Gu seem to be able to show that they are well-informed by talking about these things.
When they talked about these things, the two of them suddenly felt their faces light up, as if they were proud.
Entered the box.
Liu Fugui's order today was indeed extraordinary: fried mushrooms, fried peanuts, braised beef, and cold pig ears. These four dishes are served with wine.
People in Bashu like to order dishes in even numbers.
So Liu Fugui cut out 4 cold dishes and ordered 6 hot dishes: steamed pork with rice flour, steamed duck with yellow flowers, bean sprouts, cherry meat, shredded pork with parsley, and stir-fried green onions.
Originally, when eating at a service club, customers first had to order at the counter and hand over their meal tickets and food money to the counter in advance.
Then the dishes are reported to the kitchen at the counter, and finally the dishes are brought over by the waiter.
But today's situation is a bit special, and Liu Fugui and Fatty Gu are really familiar with each other, so Fatty Gu ran to the box and asked Liu Fugui what he wanted to order.
Steaming a dish like duck takes a long time.
After Liu Fugui finished ordering, he asked the kitchen to do the cooking first so that he could pick up the big shot.
Wait until Liu Fugui goes out.
Fatty Gu said to Luo Xuan: "Where did you get those mushrooms? It rained a little in the Mountain King area a few days ago, and someone came over with mushrooms and sold them to me."
"However, after the leaders ate it, they all said it didn't taste the same as your mushrooms! They also said I was passing it off as a good mushroom by using other varieties of mushrooms to pass them off as this very good mushroom."
"I'm so fucking weird! I've seen Fatty Gu personally handle this kind of mushroom in quantity, not to mention tens of thousands, but then it's in the thousands, right? It's obviously the same type of mushroom, why are yours different?"
Damn it, I’ve been hit hard by my boss these days, am I unjust?”
Luo Xuan smiled coldly, "You bought mushrooms for 8 cents each outside, and you paid the price you paid for the mushrooms to me, and you reimbursed the employer, right?"
"Shhh! Luo Xuan, what are you talking about?"
Fatty Gu was so frightened that he quickly closed the door of the box.
Then he leaned close to Luo Xuan and whispered: "Don't dare to say such nonsense in the future. That mushroom of yours counts to me 1 yuan 5, 1 yuan 6, and the highest you can give me is 1 yuan 8."
"It was a drought at that time and it didn't rain. There were no mushrooms on the market. You killed me and sold them more expensively, so I just tolerated it."
"But it rained in Sanwang Township a few days ago, and there are more mushrooms on the market. Why should I buy the expensive one from you instead of the cheap one?
Public money is no longer money? We can’t be irresponsible, right?”
Luo Xuan ignored Fatty Gu's fake beating.
He is a guy who probably does a lot of buying low and paying high.
It's just that this is his business and he can't control it.
Fatty Gu sighed and complained for a while, and then said to Luo Xuan: "Will you be able to supply me with mushrooms stably in the future?"
Luo Xuan glared at him, "Didn't I tell you before? Whenever you want mushrooms, eels, and turtles, I have them all here. There is no problem with the supply.
But in the future, don’t try to make too much out of it!
With a continuous and stable supply of goods, the leaders feel that the quality of the dishes in the service company you manage is guaranteed.
If you can stay in this position of responsible person for a few more years, isn't it better than anything else? Who told you to be half-hearted and always think about picking up bargains outside? You deserve it!"
Luo Xuan asked him, "Tell me, although the price of my mushrooms is a little higher, are the mushrooms I gave you comparable to those sold outside?"
Moreover, my mushrooms are big! One mushroom is worth the price of two others. Is it really expensive? Do you have any idea?"
"Ahem, cough, don't talk about this."
Fatty Gu smiled and said, "Hearing what you said makes me feel at ease. As long as you can provide me with long-term supply, that's fine.
Hey, it’s just that I have to tell you first, kid, don’t think about raising the price!
I don’t know what you, a big kid, do with so much money? If you want to kill me, don’t kill me, right?”
Now Luo Xuan has interacted with Fatty Gu many times, during which Luo Xuan used some small tricks from time to time.
Today, the unequal relationship between Fatty Gu and himself is no longer the unequal relationship it once had, where Fatty Gu was superior and he was humble and small.
Hearing the words,
Luo Xuan smiled: "Don't worry! If you have money, everyone makes it. Don't eat alone, and don't earn the last nickel. This is my principle. From now on, mushrooms will be available at any time! I will call someone over and ask him to give them to you.
Give me mushrooms, give me fish, and I’ll just come to you to settle the bill at the end of the month.”
In a few days, the production team will start harvesting rice.
At that time, the school will also have a busy farm holiday, and I will have to return to the production team to help with farm work.
In rural areas, it is commonly known as "double grabbing", which means rushing to harvest and planting.
In this busy farming season, no one can use any excuse to shirk it. Everyone must go back to work in the production team.
Coupled with the rice in your own space, you can actually harvest it now.
However, rice will not deteriorate in space.
As long as he doesn't worry about the delay in planting the next crop of rice, Luo Xuan doesn't have to rush to harvest it for the time being.
Luo Xuan will definitely be very busy in the foreseeable days.
So Luo Xuan planned to find a reliable boy and ask him to come to the catering service agency to deliver the goods for him.
——As long as he doesn't know the price and can't estimate his income.
On this point, Luo Xuan was still confident that he could fool him.
After all, as we all know, our soft-shell turtles and eels are all exchanged for vermicelli, so we only make a small profit in the price difference.
As for the cost of my vermicelli, the cost of the soft-shelled turtle and eel I exchanged, I am afraid that no one in the world can clearly calculate it for me.
Even if he meets someone who is particularly sophisticated and good at settling accounts, he will only feel that Luo Xuan is basically unprofitable.
But what he couldn't have known was that Luo Xuan would put the recovered turtles and eels into the space and raise them for a while.
When the turtles and eels have grown a lot, Luo Xuan will take them out for sale.
The profit from this in and out is quite considerable.
Hearing what Luo Xuan said, Fatty Gu laughed and slapped Luo Xuan on the shoulder, "Okay, boy! Are you willing to spend money to hire a follower and let others run errands for you?"
this era,
If you want to talk about who dares to spend money to hire someone to be your little follower and run errands, you can talk about it in private.
If this word gets out, you will have to shed your skin even if you die!
Luo Xuan's face darkened slightly, he clasped his fists and cupped his hands towards Fatty Gu, "Thanks to Boss Gu for taking care of me, the little one can have a bite to eat. I hope that in the future, Shopkeeper Gu can take care of the little guy's hard business."
