Chapter 659 Meat is divided among the production team
Chen Xiaobai went to organize and sell the mutton.
He was actually intercepted in the middle of the road by someone from the "Anti-private Brigade"?
Everyone in the office asked Chen Xiaobai about the specific situation one after another.
Luo Xuan knocked on the table, "You all should go out."
Now that Luo Xuan has spoken, Dou Jiande and Wang Chunhua dare not disobey; Bai Fugui's mother-in-law is even more respectful to Luo Xuan.
Wait until the three of them left the office.
Chen Xiaobai closed the door carefully, then turned around and approached Luo Xuan.
He lowered his voice and said, "In the past few days, the anti-private teams have been dispatched very frequently, and the inspections have become more and more strict."
Luo Xuan asked him: "Is there any problem with the batch of grain we put in the county?"
"That's no problem."
Chen Xiaobai's face was full of worry: "Seeing that the New Year is approaching, it is the time when the members and the residents in the city urgently need to buy New Year supplies.
Often at this point, the anti-smuggling teams will become more and more strict in their investigations."
Luo Xuan pondered for a while, "If that doesn't work, I'll suspend your help in selling the food and turning it into cash.
And the mutton you brought us has to be put in the driver's cab of the truck.
In this case, the anti-smuggling team will not be able to detect the mutton you supplied to us."
Chen Xiaobai nodded,
Then he shook his head: "Actually, there's no need to worry so much. They also need to pay benefits during the Chinese New Year, so the checks are getting tighter and tighter.
Generally speaking, they won't kill me.
Who in the dozens of miles nearby doesn't know that I sell beef and mutton from Inner Mongolia to Saibei every day?"
Chen Xiaobai said quietly, "If those officials really wanted to ban the beef and mutton from the north from flowing to the north of the Great Wall, I would have been caught by them long ago. Isn't this the best way to do it once and for all?"
Luo Xuan sighed slightly, "Everyone understands the principle of releasing water appropriately and fishing without exhausting the lake.
What I'm worried about now is not that they scratch a little bit of oil on you from time to time."
Chen Xiaobai took out a pack of "Lion Brand" cigarettes, took one out, held it up with both hands, and feinted in front of Luo Xuan.
Then he put it to his own mouth, took out a match and lit the cigarette.
Because Chen Xiaobai knew that Luo Xuan did not smoke. It was just a false courtesy to show his respect for Luo Xuan.
Chen Xiaobai swallowed a puff of smoke and then said: "I want to take advantage of the new year, the second and third day of the Lunar New Year.
At that time, everyone was still busy doing yangko, watching float parades, or performing nine tunes. Taking advantage of the fact that the anti-private team is still on holiday, I want to do something big!"
Luo Xuan frowned: "You want to pull the whole truckload of grain to the north?"
"right!"
Chen Xiaobai chuckled, "Over in Dongsheng, several new 'Bubai coal mines' have been opened. They are in urgent need of a large amount of food."
Luo Xuan always felt uneasy, "What price did they give?"
Chen Xiaobai stretched out four fingers: "Fine grains are 4 cents and 8 cents, and coarse grains are 2 and 7 cents per pound. And they promised me."
Every time I bring a cart of grain to the coal mine, I will be given an additional 200 yuan as freight subsidy."
Hearing the price, Luo Xuan couldn't help but ponder.
Something is wrong!
The price of food now is no different from that of 10 years ago. Under the planned economy, prices did not change much for many years.
If you go to the grain station to buy grain through regular channels, the price difference you need to make up for fine grain is 1 cent, 7 cents and 2 cents.
According to the approximate equivalent value of money and tickets, the market price of each kilogram of fine grains should be between 3.3 cents and 3.5 cents.
Go north in Tuocheng, all the way to the EEDS prairie.
Along the hundreds of kilometers of road, there are hundreds of large and small state-owned coal mines and collective coal mines.
There are also those "not white" private coal mines.
Because there are many coal mines here, their burial depth is not particularly deep.
Peeling away the yellow sand on the surface, there are high-quality coal layers underneath.
Therefore, the scale of these coal mines is generally quite large. There are hundreds, thousands, or thousands of strong men working in the coal mines.
Therefore, their demand for food is also extremely huge.
Newly opened coal mine?
And it’s still kind of “not white”.
The price of grain he gave was already higher than what Chen Xiaobai had been selling to other coal mines.
It's a lot higher than 8 cents per pound.
High profits must correspond to high risks, this is ironclad!
"I will definitely not agree to this matter."
Luo Xuan finally decided not to do that kind of business, "I don't need money urgently.
So I would rather let you help me slowly and slowly monetize the food I put in the county than take that risk."
"But."
Chen Xiaobai really couldn't bear to give up, with the piece of fat already on his lips, "At the frog market in Zhimi County, I will help you take out the food bit by bit.
That speed is really too slow! If you calculate it this way, I can sell at most 2,000 kilograms of grain in a month."
Chen Xiaobai's face lit up: "But if we want to haul grain to that coal mine called 'Fujin', we only need one truck! I can get rid of tens of thousands of kilograms of grain."
"Why do people give you such a high purchase price for grain?"
Luo Xuan snorted coldly, "The Yellow River has nine dangers, but only one is rich. In the Hetao area in the north, there is plenty of flour and rice."
"Don't even think about it: How much initial investment should be made in a privately owned coal mine?"
Luo Xuan sighed, "I'm worried that if you pull the food over, you won't get the money.
Moreover, the other party wants to make things right and avoid future troubles. It is very likely that even you will not be able to come back."
He reached out and patted Chen Xiaobai on the shoulder.
Luo Xuan tried to persuade him, "You are a foreigner and have no influence here.
I would pull a cart full of grain alone and go to the deserted wilderness hundreds of kilometers away from human habitation. I was worried that those coal mines were short of workers!
At that time, you and your food will have to fall on that coal mine. With your small body, how much coal can you dig?"
"Gudong——"
Chen Xiaobai swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Then he nodded in agreement without thinking, "What you said makes sense. Forget it, I'll just be honest and continue my trip to the north before the end of the year.
Let’s get 20 more sheep for your hotel and production team.”
Luo Xuan stared into Chen Xiaobai's eyes and warned him softly, "I am not allowed to touch the grain stored in the cave dwellings I rent in Zhimi County for the time being! Do you hear that?"
"Stay still."
Chen Xiaobai grinned.
This guy does have such good teeth, which are white and shiny.
This is very different from the way most people in Saibei have yellow teeth due to poor water quality.
Chen Xiaobai smiled and said, "Brother Luo Xuan, don't worry! In the old days, my family was a businessman for generations.
I still know in my mind what things I can touch and what risks I can’t take.”
Seeing Chen Xiaobai's expression, Luo Xuan sighed slightly in his heart: This guy is probably not willing to give up that piece of fat.
Fortunately, in Zhimi County,
The cave dwelling with several holes in the single-family house that he secretly rented from someone else only contains about 2,000 kilograms of grain in total.
The Chen Xiaobai in front of him, even if he wants to make huge profits from selling grain.
But as long as he doesn't put too much food into the cave, Chen Xiaobai will be helpless.
There is a lot of food in your own space.
Some of it has been taken out recently to fill the gap in the production team's warehouse.
The reason why I did this,
This is to avoid the commune members in Shilipu Village. On the one hand, they have to do the hard work of building water canals. On the other hand, there is not enough food at home, causing the commune members to go without food.
Accountant Li and Wang Chunhua handle the food import and export accounts in this hotel.
The food in the hotel comes from the village deep in the mountains of Xiaolaojun.
Every train package sent from Bashu arrives at Suimi County.
Accountant Li will lead several members and go to the Suimi County Railway Station to pick up the train in person.
Then the local trucking service company was asked to send a large truck to haul the food to the hotel.
for daily consumption.
Therefore, the consumption of food in restaurants is very large.
But he had no choice but to mix the food in his own space into the hotel's warehouse.
In order to free up some food in the space, it is also to save some cash.
Only then did Luo Xuan meet Chen Xiaobai, who had no backer but had business acumen.
An agreement was reached to "use the money from selling grain to pay for the beef and mutton he sold to the restaurant."
In other words, he gave Chen Xiaobai a batch of grain in Zhimi County at a price lower than the market price.
Chen Xiaobai took the grain to the frog market to sell it and cash it out.
He would take the money from selling grain and go to the prairie to buy a batch of beef and mutton.
Then it is handed over to Shilipu, the production team's hotel for use.
After the restaurant receives the beef and mutton, Accountant Li will pay the price to Chen Xiaobai in cash.
After Chen Xiaobai gets the payment for this batch of goods, he will hand it over to Luo Xuan.
After just going around in a circle: Chen Xiaobai can make some profit from it.
And as for myself,
You can also change the food in the space into different types and turn it into cash.
God knows this matter.
In addition, only Chen Xiaobai and himself knew about it.
But today, Chen Xiaobai, he has obviously become interested in the business of trafficking large quantities of grain northward to obtain high profits.
Although Chen Xiaobai said just now that he had promised himself that he would definitely give up that thought.
But Luo Xuan could see that Chen Xiaobai was counting on a few transactions to completely change his destiny.
The thought in his heart has taken root, and is rapidly sprouting and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This guy!
Sooner or later, he will put his idea into action!!
But so what?
There is absolutely no way he can stop Chen Xiaobai.
First, they are not their subordinates, and second, they are not their relatives.
Even though I clearly felt that it was a pit, I could only watch helplessly as Chen Xiaobai jumped into it step by step!
Travelers have their own advantages, but they are not omnipotent.
And in this world,
Some people, if you don’t let them hit the south wall, they won’t know the pain.
Chen Xiaobai left, but it did not affect the normal production of the Shilipu production team, and life continued as planned.
Now Chen Xiaobai has sent over 5 sheep that have been slaughtered.
In the hotel of the Shilipu production team, one sheep was temporarily borrowed to make up for the six sheep originally planned.
The breeding room then slaughters 2 sheep and 2 fat pigs by itself.
Dou Jiande then summoned all the members and sent a representative to divide the mutton in the yard in front of the breeding room.
Every year when it comes to the New Year of the Pig and the New Year of the Sheep, the members of the production team are very excited, but at the same time full of worries.
Because this time the production team did not allow adults to come to the members’ homes to participate in the meat sharing.
Only half-grown boys and girls are allowed to carry the frame and go to the breeding room.
Therefore, when the children are about to go out, these members of the commune will give them many warnings and exhortations: "Da Mao Dan, when you go to the production team to share the meat, you must not be polite!"
You must check early on which pile of meat is fatter and which pile of meat has fewer bones."
"Second daughter, of all the brothers and sisters in the family, you are the shrewdest. You must clearly distinguish which kind of meat is hind leg meat and which kind is trough meat. Don't make a mistake."
"Sandan, the breeder is your second father. We have already discussed it with him and asked him to help you keep an eye on it.
When the time comes, before you choose meat, you must look at your second father’s eyes. Whichever pile of meat he looks at, you will choose that pile.”
"Third girl, your brother is going to grandma's house to deliver flour, so this time the family will send you to divide the meat. Don't pick the pork thigh meat!
It’s so thin there, and there’s a big bone in the meat, so it’s not cost-effective.”
These children,
They were all solemnly entrusted by the adults at home, and then carrying the wicker frame with solemn faces, they came to the yard in front of the breeding room one after another.
Unexpectedly!
This time, at the entrance of the breeding room and in front of the small courtyard, the militia captain led people to use wooden sticks and hemp ropes to
It's like setting up a cordon and surrounding it in advance!
Countless children could only shiver in the cold wind, holding wicker baskets and looking forward to the huge door panels at the door of the breeding room.
On those door panels, there were 8 or 90 piles of pork-like meat.
Because the distance is too far, these children, who are entrusted with important tasks, cannot clearly see which pile of meat is better and which pile of meat is worse.
in this case,
There are only butchers responsible for killing pigs and sheep, and breeders in the production team.
Only then did they know which pile of meat placed on the door panel would be better.
See this situation.
The children who were related to the breeders of the production team had a look of triumph on their faces.
And even among the children who are related to the breeder, they are vaguely divided into three, six or nine grades according to the distance of the relationship.
Among them, the breeder's son is undoubtedly the most proud, "I'm telling you, there is a lot of meat this year, so you have to be very picky about the meat."
If you don't choose well, your parents will beat you up when you go back, and that won't be worth it."
The closeness of his relationship with the breeder is second only to his biological son Sandan.
This guy undoubtedly has a sense of superiority.
I saw Sandan hurried forward and started to praise his cousin: "Yes, our parents have been busy for a year and finally waited for the meat to be distributed to the production team.
But you took back a few pieces of trough meat and sheep bones from home? I’m afraid your father’s jujube stick and your mother’s rolling pin will beat you half to death. Humph!”
The other friends in the production team all know in their hearts which pile of meat is good and which pile of meat is bad. Isn’t it just a matter of a look from your father who is the breeder?
But all the little brats didn't dare to show the slightest bit of displeasure on their faces.
Many of the children had flattering smiles on their faces towards the keeper's son.
There were even a few little girls holding wicker frames in their arms and squeezing forward.
With a smile on his face, he started chatting with the breeder's son.
Just as these guys were standing outside the cordon, eagerly thinking about how to grab a better pile of meat later.
I only heard the cave door of the breeding room creaking.
But Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong were seen walking out of it.
I saw them walking to the pile of meat with a large pile of yellow paper in their arms.
Then the two of them were busy using the yellow paper to cover all the meat on the door panel.
In order to prevent the butchers from killing pigs and sheep, as well as the breeders of the production team, they secretly recorded the specific location of the better pile of meat.
Zhang Xiaoli and Peng Yong also randomly changed the positions of the piles of meat on the door panel.
Most of the young men who were waiting outside the circle were dumbfounded when they saw this:
Damn it!
What kind of naughty operation is this?
The piles of meat on the board were not only tightly covered with yellow paper, but no one could tell whether the pile of meat under the yellow paper was good or bad.
I'm afraid that even those who are responsible for dividing and arranging the pork and mutton, and those members who come to help.
Even they can't tell which pile of meat is better?
This time.
What a pick!
Not to mention the breeder's son, even the breeder's biological father and mother came.
