Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Xipo. Institute!

Zhou Yang is also in a very good mood today. Just now he went to the brigade headquarters and brought all the food for his family.

This year, the village has had a bumper harvest of vegetables, and apart from the 37 catties sold to the research institute and other units, there are still about 45 catties left.

After calculation, the villagers in the whole village can be allocated 75 catties of head vegetables, and those with strong labor in the family will be allocated according to the number of work points.

There are 5 people in the Zhou family, including Wen Hui and Lao Zhang, and they can share meals for seven people. The head dish is 525 catties.

In addition, Zhou Yang and Lao Zhang are counted as laborers, and they get work points.

Especially Zhou Yang, no matter whether he goes to the village or not, he gets 12 work points a day.

Therefore, the two were divided into another 186 catties, so the Zhou family shared 711 catties of vegetables alone this year, nearly double the amount compared to previous years.

In addition to the distribution of vegetables, the village broadcasted an announcement today that other food will be distributed starting tomorrow.

According to the distribution method in the village, the wheat, naked oats, grains, and millet are divided first. After all, this amount is less and the distribution is easier. As for the potatoes and corn, the last is divided.

Of course, the mission food and love food in the village must be handed over before distribution.

In the past, the annual task grain in the village was only about 9 catties, but this year it was a full 55 catties.

There is even more love food, adding up to 118 million catties.

Since both mission food and love food only need fine grains, after deducting the national allowance and adding 200 catties of summer naked oats to each person, only 42 catties of wheat and 17 catties of naked naked oats are left in the village. wheat.

In addition, there are 28 catties of millet and 31 catties of millet, and the rest are potatoes and corn that cannot be counted.

As for the sugar beet, since that thing is used as fodder, it is not within the scope of distribution.

按照村里的初步估计，村里的社员知青们今年差不多可以分到58斤小麦、222斤莜麦、37斤谷子、41斤黍子，外加1500斤土豆和1200斤苞米，总计3058斤。

Of course, this is only a preliminary estimate. In fact, the final distribution result may be slightly different from this.

The main reason is that there is no way to weigh potatoes and corn due to the large quantity, so they can only be calculated according to the number of acres.

But even so, the results are exciting enough.

We must know that last year the village was already the leader in the whole county, but the head grain distributed to the villagers was only more than 2000 catties, but this year it has increased by more than half.

Of course, after looking at the grain to be distributed in the village, it can be seen that this is the result of a serious sacrifice of fine grain.

But no matter what, 3000 catties of head food is the real deal.

Regardless of whether they can eat well, the entire Babaoliang Lianhe Village must be able to ensure that the big guys are full, and they are still full.

Even though the food hadn't been distributed yet, Zhou Yang, who knew the result in advance, couldn't help being a little excited.

However, as soon as he returned to the office, he didn't have time to announce the good news to the old man in the commune and Lao Li in the county, when the phone on the desk rang.

"Ring bell bell..."

As soon as the phone was picked up, the operator Xiao Li's voice came from the microphone: "Director, there is a comrade Xu Yongguang who claims to be the person in charge of Xinhua Bookstore in Sebei Province who wants to talk to you. May I ask you to connect?"

"Come in!" Zhou Yang said.

"Yes!"

Soon, an outside call came in.

"Zhou Yang, I'm Old Xu!"

"Hehe, I reckon your call is coming soon. How is the situation in the provincial capital? Will our books sell well?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, why can't you sell it? I'm here to announce the good news to you!"

Then Old Xu continued: "You don't even know what's going on outside the bookstore right now. It's really crowded with people. Men, women, old and young have surrounded the bookstore, almost blocking the traffic on Xinhua Avenue."

"It seems that our books are very popular!"

"It's more than popular. At the beginning, everyone thought it was too expensive. They were cautious when they bought it. They had to look through it for a while. Now they just go in and pay for the book. Some people even buy four or five sets at once. It's so popular. !” Old Xu said happily.

"That's good!" Zhou Yang said.

Zhou Yang had actually been mentally prepared for such a result. After all, this year's college entrance examination was a bit hasty. The country was not prepared, and the same was true for the candidates below.

They were all young people working in the fields with their heads down or engaged in production in factories, but suddenly they received a notice to resume the college entrance examination. Due to historical reasons, many people may not have even attended middle school properly, and now they are suddenly required to take the university entrance exam , in the absence of a teacher, we can only pin our hopes on the reference books for self-study.

Back then, the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" by Shanghai City Publishing House was directly praised to the sky because of its functions in this regard, so the educated youths and examinees all over the country showed their magical powers and asked people everywhere to find this set of books.

Because this series of books is so popular, even the local supply in Shanghai is in short supply, and the books are often sold out in a blink of an eye as soon as they are put on the shelves.

As a last resort, many people could only queue at the gate of Xinhua Bookstore all night.

For a while, Luoyang paper was really expensive, and there was even a phenomenon of "scalpers" buying and selling at the door of Xinhua Bookstore.

It doesn't make sense that a book with the same content can be popular in Shanghai, but no one cares about it in Saibei, which is unlikely.

At this moment, Old Xu's voice came from the microphone again: "Zhou Yang, how many books do you have in your printing factory? Our province's Xinhua Bookstore wants them all!"

"Old Xu, you can ask for books, but you have to tell me what conditions Xinhua Bookstore is going to give us!"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "I know that your Xinhua Bookstore has its own rules, and you have to take half of the profits of each book published by the publishing house, but this time you can't follow your rules!"

Old Xu was silent for a while, and then said: "25%, this is the condition of the discount I can give!"

Zhou Yang knew that what Old Xu said was that Xinhua Bookstores in the province should account for 25% of the total sales. Although it is still very high, it is already very good in this era.

You must know that in the past, Xinhua Bookstore always accounted for 50% of the profits, and did not bear any production and transportation costs, which was very domineering.

Therefore, in comparison, the conditions offered by Old Xu are indeed very generous, and it should be that the friendship between them has been taken into account, and most people definitely do not have this kind of treatment.

"Okay, but we have limited manpower here, and your distribution channels are far and wide, so you have to rely on your own transportation!" Zhou Yang said.

"Okay, how much stock do you have over there, I will send a convoy there now!"

"There are almost 40 sets of "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series", about 30 sets of "Shidisheng Self-study Series", and 10,000+ volumes of mock test papers for each subject!"

When Lao Xu heard this, he was stunned, and said in a broken voice, "So many?"

In fact, he had already thought that Zhou Yang should plan this matter in advance. Firstly, Zhou Yang had previously told him about cooperating to sell books in a vague way, and secondly, the arrival of tens of thousands of books last night was too timely.

You must know that within a few hours after the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination was announced, tens of thousands of sets of books were printed on their side, and they were delivered to them that night.

If Zhou Yang and the others didn't plan ahead, he wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

But he never expected that Zhou Yang and the others would be so big that they had already printed hundreds of thousands of sets of review materials for the college entrance examination.

He has read these series of books. The "Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry Self-study Series" has 17 volumes. Although the liberal arts one is a little less, there are also 4 volumes. These hundreds of thousands of sets add up to several million volumes.

There are also those mock test papers. There are dozens of college entrance exam mock questions in one book. After counting so many subjects, it takes a lot of work to print.

To be honest, he was really intimidated by Zhou Yang's courage.

Although Zhou Yang understood what Lao Xu thought, he didn't explain. Instead, he chatted with him about the details of the cooperation, and then hung up the phone.

ps: Chapter 1 is delivered!

Reading book reviews, some readers said that Lao Cang's price of 11 yuan and 17 cents was a bit high. In fact, it was the price set by others back then.The main reason is that there are 7 volumes in the "Self-Study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry", and the average price of one volume is less than [-] cents.

Please ask for a small free gift, the competition for the list is very fierce these days, please support Lao Cang, thank you!
