Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Xia Mingshuang, Fang Rong and the others first went to the Commerce Bureau guest house to settle down. After a night's rest, they went to the department store under the Commerce Bureau together tomorrow to prepare samples for the exhibition.

They were very busy that day. The clothes for the exhibition needed to be sorted and ironed, and they had to distribute exhibition badges, go in and set up the booth, etc.

Gu Yunshan and the others must have been busy too, so Xia Mingshuang didn't bother him.

Before going to the exhibition hall, she gave Miaomiao a few dollars and national food stamps and asked her to take Zaizai with her. Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were rich, so she only gave them a few kilograms of food stamps and let them make their own arrangements.

She told Er Zhuang: "Don't run around on the first day. Get familiar with the roads near the exhibition hall and guest house. Find out where you want to go first. Don't go there rashly."

Er Zhuang: "Mom, don't worry, we have already drawn the map."

Xia Mingshuang: "Map? Oh, by the way, Xinhua Bookstore should have it. Go shopping and buy one."

Er Zhuang took out the map he and Dazhuang drew, "We drew it."

Last night, they didn't go to bed directly. Instead, they used two handfuls of melon seeds to chat with the waiter at the guest house. Through the waiter's aunt, they found out the nearby routes and units, where to go on foot, and how to get there by car. In addition to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives, there are other places where you can buy things, such as black markets, trust second-hand stores, etc.

Xia Mingshuang took it over and looked at it. The map was similar to the hand-drawn study tour map of later generations. It focused on marking various buildings and how to get there by car.

What an idea.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "It's amazing, I want one too."

Erzhuang: "Mom, go and do your work first. Later, my brother and I will help you draw another one."

Xiao Zaizai immediately said: "My sister and I will help with the painting."

Xiao Zaizai and Miaomiao have a talent for painting. They are self-taught and have a relatively high talent for copying.

Miaomiao likes to draw flowers, beauties, and scenery, and Zaizai likes to draw cats, dogs, cars, etc.

When Fang Rong and others saw it, they also exclaimed that it was amazing that such a small child could have so many ideas.

Xia Mingshuang: "Dazhuang, I will leave my younger brothers and sisters to your care. You cannot lead them to run around, let alone go to dangerous places."

Da Zhuang: "Mom, I know."

Xia Mingshuang and Fang Rong followed the staff here and left first. They had to go to work.

Gu Yunshan's side was also very busy. They were here to show off the water hammer pump, water wheel pumping station, solar water heater, solar stove and several other small machines that Gu Yunshan had perfected before.

These are superficial efforts. The real purpose is to get to know traders from major Japanese and Korean manufacturers as well as Southeast Asian and African manufacturers that have connections with developed countries in Europe and the United States. I hope to import some truly high-end and advanced industrial production lines instead of the junk imported before. .

In the past, many units imported expensive production lines, large machine tools, etc. from foreign countries. Only when they were shipped back did they find that they were junk that others had eliminated and could not be used!

Some of them are not garbage and can be used, but the core technology is stuck, and foreign technicians and maintenance personnel have to be hired at high salaries. Not only that, but they also have to purchase subsequent parts, technology upgrades, etc. at high prices.

It felt very uncomfortable to have someone's neck stuck, but I had to continue to find ways to import some urgently needed production lines and large machine tools.

Because without these, the country’s industrial production capacity will not be able to increase, and all aspects will be restricted.

They hope to use Gu Yunshan's superb professionalism and proficiency in spoken English to pry open this stubborn barrier.

Therefore, Gu Yunshan had a heavy task and naturally had no time to take care of the children.

This is exactly what Erzhuang and the others want.

After the parents left the guest house, they immediately assigned tasks.

Erzhuang: "Sister, you take your little brother for a walk around first to get familiar with it. My eldest brother and I will go to investigate and buy some goods and send them back as soon as possible. In two days, we will pay for you to go to the zoo. amusement park."

Miaomiao: "These are not important. What is important is that you should pay attention to safety."

Da Zhuang: "Don't worry."

They also gave Miaomiao and her brother two dollars to buy snacks, and then they set off together.

The female receptionist at the Commerce Bureau guest house remembered the two brothers overnight and took the initiative to say hello when she saw them going out.

She usually only cares about others and will not be enthusiastic towards anyone. If she is not a leader or someone with status, she will ignore them.

At this moment, she was very enthusiastic towards the two brothers, "Be careful of pickpockets when you go to the flower and bird market. There are many thieves here."

There are flower and bird markets in almost every city. Before the Movement, it was a flower and bird market. After the Movement, it was changed into a free trade market. It was mainly used by nearby farmers to sell vegetables from their own plots. Occasionally, some people sold eggs, chickens, ducks, etc.

People from the Public Security Bureau will investigate, but they are more tolerant to farmers. After all, they just want to change their household registration for some food stamps, or sell money for emergencies, not large-scale speculation.

They mainly crack down on second-tier dealers, smugglers, and related households who mainly sell arms supplies. Some people can make a lot of money by reselling the batches from within.

Steel, cotton, cement, sugar, etc. are all listed here.

These little brothers have found out everything.

They were children, so they didn't attract much attention. Most people wouldn't suspect them of being opportunistic. They were just joining in the fun.

In the morning, they went to the flower and bird market and other black markets to inquire about information and investigate the market, and were not in a hurry to take action.

At noon, the two brothers bought two steamed buns at a state-owned restaurant to fill their stomachs, and continued walking in the afternoon.

The so-called black market is not really a black market, it is just a temporary small market formed by people who buy and sell to avoid the staff of the market office.

The two brothers looked at dried lychees, dried longans and other dry goods. These are very sweet and can be used as gifts for visiting relatives during festivals, just like the candied dates in the north. In addition, they also looked at some products sold secretly by farmers.

Guangdong Province has lots of water, rain, and high temperatures, so rice can be harvested three times a year. Moreover, they have lots of water and grass, so they can raise more pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. Farmers are relatively well-off and have more non-staple food than those in the north.

The two also found some dried fruits that they had never seen before in the supply and marketing cooperative's dry goods shop. According to the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperative, they included dried mango, black plum, plum, dried longan, dried longan, dried banana, etc. In addition, there were Sweet oranges, etc., these are things they have never seen or tasted before!

Except for the black plums and plums, these dried fruits are very sweet and can be used as gifts during festivals just like the candied dates in the north.

They secretly inquired about the farmers who came to sell vegetables, and found out that they had bacon, ham, cured chicken, cured duck, etc., as well as more eggs and duck eggs.

Erzhuang thought he had found a treasure. It was difficult to raise chickens in the north. In summer and autumn, chickens could feed themselves, but in winter and spring they had to feed themselves. If there was no food at home, they would be reluctant to part with them.

There are evergreens here all year round, and there are also vegetables in winter! There are grass bugs everywhere!

The chickens, ducks and geese eat happily without any need to feed them!

In Erzhuang's opinion, this is all money!

Da Zhuang reminded him: "Eggs and duck eggs are not suitable for such a long journey."

Erzhuang said excitedly: "Brother, I have a way!"
