Luo Xuan saw Tian Dabang's expression was strange.
Then he asked him: "Do you know Boss Zhou?"
"Boss Zhou? Yes, I know you."
Tian Dabang swallowed hard, "This kid is very powerful! He is very famous on the construction site.
Despite his young age, he has a very good brain. When others work, they will pay whatever they want.
However, he took a dozen people from the earthmoving team and contracted a section of earthmoving work from the foreman.
It was so hot that the dozen or so people worked day and night. They left their bowls behind and ran to the construction site to continue working without even taking a break.
Everyone else is off work, sitting in the work shed talking nonsense, while their dozen hard-working guys are still working there smashing rocks... They are simply not human beings!"
Luo Xuan said: "The people of Bashu are all like this. When they go out to work, they work hard, and when they get home, they eat as much as they want and have fun. What happens next?"
"Final reckoning. These guys' wages are more than twice as much as ours!"
Speaking of which.
A look of envy and jealousy appeared on Tian Da Pang's face.
But he suddenly turned angry: "But I heard that the big foreman in charge of the earthwork didn't settle that much money with them in the end.
Damn it! The construction site is really a place where people can eat people. For this little hard-earned money, these Huabaogu have the heart to deduct other people's money, the conscience of dogs, the pork exchanged for people's kneading, the sweet potato wine exchanged for blood and sweat, they
You really have to do it..."
Seeing that Tian Dabong looked strange, Luo Xuan asked him coldly: "What next?"
"Then, when that section of earthwork was about to be completed, the big foreman went to the construction site one day to check the progress of the project. In the end, he accidentally fell into a deep ditch."
Tian Dapong's face was filled with fear: "Many people on the construction site are saying that this matter may have something to do with Boss Zhou!"
In the wilderness, there are piles of rubble on the construction site for culvert construction.
In addition, it is very cold and humid in the Qinling Mountains.
If there is an occasional winter rain, a thin layer of ice will form on the rocks.
We want to artificially create the illusion that the foreman slipped and fell off the cliff.
As long as the planning is careful enough and the timing is accurate enough.
You can still do it if you calculate mentally or not.
Judging from my understanding of Boss Zhou, hehe...
Boss Zhou is loyal to justice, and if he wants to scheme against others, his methods are indeed a bit spicy.
"Finally, if something happens to the foreman, hundreds of civilian workers in our earthmoving team will not be able to work anymore."
Tian Dabang said, "That's why the construction site lets us go home to celebrate the New Year. Otherwise, we are still planning to work until spring, so that we can earn more money for our families and come back to tide over the famine."
"well--"
"When I came back, I took a trip to the Frog Market to buy some things and have a good New Year. I never thought about that!"
Tian Dabang spat out fiercely, "Damn it! At this time in the past, the eggs, grains, chickens, ducks and geese that were common in the frog market have all disappeared!
I finally found someone who secretly sells grain. Do you know how much he charges for a pound of rice now?"
"Brown rice costs 1 yuan per catty."
Luo Xuan said: "Polished rice, first-grade white flour, the current market price is 1 yuan 2 a pound."
"right!"
Tian Dabong suddenly slapped his thigh, "Fuck him! He's robbing people. In the past, when there were food stamps, a pound of brown rice only cost 1 cents and 75 cents."
Even if you don't have food stamps and use the "Black Ten Price" to buy it, it's only 3 cents, which is 37 cents per pound.
I have only been out for a few months? The price of food has tripled?
Isn’t it said that each production team has a large canteen, and meals are free?
Those public servants and city dwellers have grain distributed by the state, so who is buying the grain?"
According to Tian Dabang’s understanding: city dwellers have food for residents.
Public servants who have a latte rice bowl, they have national food. Even though their proportion of whole grains is relatively high, it makes people eat less happily.
But at least they don’t have to go to the market to buy extra food!
Farmers, on the other hand, have large canteens to eat in, so they don’t need to go out to buy food.
Therefore, what puzzles Tian Dabang is that the price of grain in the frog market has tripled its original price.
This means that many people come out to buy grain, and there are far more people buying grain than selling grain in the market.
Only in this way will food prices rise sharply.
This makes Tian Dabang really confused: Who are the people buying food on a large scale?
In fact, in the frog market, there has always been a group of sellers who specialize in making food.
They understand the tightness of the food supply earlier and more deeply than the average person.
Moreover, the members of the production team all eat in the big canteen.
But now, the big cafeteria is already a bit overwhelmed. And the big pot of rice in the cafeteria can no longer meet the needs of some members with special needs.
Just like that little wife who just gave birth to twins.
She also has some late-night snacks and needs to eat high-protein and nutritious meals.
But the meals prepared in the big cafeteria obviously cannot meet the needs of pregnant women.
therefore,
At the frog market, many members of the commune would buy some fine grains, chickens, ducks and geese.
Although there are militiamen patrolling the production team, members are not allowed to open fire and cook privately.
But farmers, who have always been flexible, would secretly go into caves to cook some meat porridge and then take it home.
As long as there is no smoke coming out of the chimneys of the commune members' homes, others will probably turn a blind eye.
——If everyone goes too far, not to mention the members of the production team, most of them are relatives.
Just say that if something like this happens to your own family in the future, what should you do?
Therefore, under the premise that almost no one sells grain.
In addition, there are members who need to buy food from the frog market to supplement their nutrition.
There are also well-informed and capable grain dealers who are hoarding grain there.
now,
It’s not surprising that the price of food in the frog market has skyrocketed three times.
Everyone present lamented the sharp rise in food prices.
But among them, only Luo Xuan understood best: Where is this going?
The current price of food is one per day.
In less than 10 days, the price will increase by 1 yuan per pound!
In another month, grain will be sold for 5 yuan per catty, or even 8 yuan per catty.
It's all normal.
I'm afraid that in another 2 months, floods will begin in other places.
However, after a large hailstorm fell in Rongwei County, all the seedlings planted by the members of the commune were destroyed.
By then, even if everyone has money in their hands, they won’t be able to buy a grain of grain!
At that time, "Lao Xu, do you want a wife?" This kind of thing happens every day.
"Hey, food is so expensive? How can we do it?"
The head cook sighed as always: "Perhaps after a while, a large amount of food will be brought over with train leather, and the situation will get better."
"Never mind that for now."
Bu Yaoming patted his butt, got up and walked to the production team's storage room, "I'm going to find the accountant and the custodian right now.
Let them calculate the family background of the production team, and then distribute the New Year supplies to everyone first.
No matter what, we have to get through this year before we talk about it!"
Wait until Bu Yaoming is gone.
When Luo Xuan was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something.
Pointing to the pile of bedrolls piled on the ground, Tian Dabong said, "Why do you have two rolls of bedrolls?"
When Tian Dabong heard this, his expression suddenly became nervous!
"This is me. I picked it up in the coal train car when I came back..."
Tian Dabao said, "I picked it up, no, it's not against the law, right?"
Picked it up?!
Go to hell!
In this era, most of the commune members' families did not have enough cotton and cotton cloth.
Many members' homes don't even have enough quilts.
Once winter comes.
It is not uncommon for several brothers, or even sisters, to sleep together under a big quilt to keep warm.
Everyone values the quilts and cotton fabrics at home more than anything else!
There are even very poor commune members who only have one affordable cotton-padded jacket in their homes.
How could it be so easy to pick up?
However, he had no control over whose quilt Tian Dabong took away.
Now Luo Xuan plans to go back to Zhengxing Brigade to see Sister Xiaocao.
Since the canteen is tightening its budget, one can only imagine what the porridge in the canteen of the Zhengxing Brigade, which originally did not have sufficient food, would look like.
It is the time when the grass grows.
Don't let her fail to keep up with nutrition, thus affecting Xiaocao's physical development.
When I stayed in the Zhengxing production team, there wasn't much food in the brick house.
Luo Xuan estimated that if Xiaocao left the food he left for her, she should have enough to eat...
