Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

After putting away the cloth coupons, Liu Ping'an opened the Lingquan space again.

There are already dozens of chickens in the space farm, a mixture of domestic chickens and pheasants, which is quite harmonious.

There were also a lot of fish and shrimps in the small river flowing through the space. All of them were tumbling in the river, fat and big, making Liu Ping'an drool.

He grows rice, garlic, sweet potatoes, and the latest addition, Sichuan peppercorns.

Several crops have matured.

All of them are sorted into categories and placed in the warehouse. It is piled up full, giving a sense of security at first glance.

"There aren't many side dishes. It would be nice if there was a factory in the space that could process them."

Liu Ping'an felt a little greedy when he thought of the snacks from his previous life.

He touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.

Liu Ping'an closed the space, stood up and walked out of the room. At this time, smoke was already rising from the chimney above the kitchen. The three little ones were lying at the kitchen door, staring inside eagerly.

Liu Ping'an knew the reason as soon as he approached.

Grandma put the leftover meat from last night into the porridge and cooked it. The rich aroma of meat filled the air. No wonder the three little ones were so greedy.

In addition, the eldest aunt, the third aunt and his mother had already marinated the bear meat last night and was now hanging it under the eaves to dry.

"We'll be gone soon. You three can sit under the eaves and watch. If any birds come over, use the pole to scare them away."

Grandma was cooking while giving instructions to the three little ones.

At this time, there is no need to worry about someone stealing the meat, after all, every household has meat.

In addition, it is located at the end of the village, so no one from other villages will come here.

What we should be more worried about is the thief coming from the sky.

Those thieves move quickly. They sneakily take a few bites of the meat and then run away. There is nothing you can do about it.

When the three little ones heard that they had to protect their meat, they all looked determined and said in baby voices, "Make sure you complete the mission. No one can steal my meat."

Liu Ping'an wanted to laugh when he heard what they said, so he walked behind them and reached out to touch the hair of the three little ones.

Lele turned around and hugged Liu Pingan's thighs with a smile on her face when she saw him.

Just standing there grinning foolishly.

Grandma turned around and saw Liu Ping'an. She wiped her body with her hands and took out the bag of flour from the kitchen.

"The remaining bear meat has been packed in there. You should leave early after dinner. Don't wait until the sun comes out and the meat gets smelly. That will affect your performance in the eyes of your leader."

Although grandma was reluctant to let Liu Ping'an go, she still knew that her eldest grandson's future was important, so she stood there and gave him sincere instructions.

Liu Ping'an felt warm in his heart. He listened silently without saying a word and nodded.

"By the way, where's your bear paw?"

"I've already installed it. Don't worry, grandma. I wouldn't forget about it."

Liu Ping'an put the bear paws and bear gall into the space to avoid affecting the taste.

He also had to put the meat into the space and take it out when he returned to Sijiu City, to prevent it from getting smelly and dry, which would be embarrassing if he sent it to the factory.

"Yeah, as long as you're prepared."

At this time, Zhang Guifang and Auntie and Auntie Three came back from the river with basins in their arms.

The basin is full of clothes.

Rural people usually wash clothes by the river, and men may take a bath by the river.

It’s just that the drought is so severe right now that most people, at least in rural areas, rarely take a bath.

Those who are a little bit clean will just wipe their bodies with a rag dipped in water.

After all, water resources are precious and there is no well water.

Thinking of this, Liu Ping'an began to consider whether he could hire a well-drilling team to dig a well. If he was lucky enough to dig groundwater, the villagers would live a better life.

However, the drilling team is now a state-owned unit with a small number of personnel, and the technicians inside are all very arrogant.

Even more arrogant than the salesman.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Anyway, I have a river that never dries up."

Liu Ping'an's consideration of the well-drilling team was just an idea; his backup option was still his own Lingquan space.

Now that everyone in the family had returned, Liu Ping'an sat down to eat.

During this period, they gave Liu Ping'an many instructions and asked about his well-being.

Liu Ping'an almost didn't want to leave.

But in order to give his family a better life, he left home despite Lele's crying face, waved goodbye and walked towards the village entrance.

Liu Ping'an carried the bag of flour, put most of the meat in the bag into the space, and walked forward lightly.

He met many villagers along the way, and they all greeted Liu Ping'an with a smile on their faces.

The smile is sincere and very kind.

Liu Ping'an felt particularly satisfied when he saw pickled bear meat hanging under every household's house.

Not long after walking, Liu Ping'an suddenly saw Qin Huairu's mother standing at the entrance of the village looking out.

When he saw Liu Ping'an, he walked over with a smile on his face.

"I got back safely."

"Yes, Aunt Qin, after all, I am still a purchasing agent for the factory, and I have to go back and report to the factory."

"Yes, yes, yes, we should still focus on work."

Mother Qin smiled and exchanged a few words with Liu Ping'an, then took out a folded yellowed paper.

"This is the letter I asked the village chief to write. I ask you to take it back to Ru'er for me."

The country has undergone a literacy campaign and most people are more or less literate.

Qin Huairu entered the factory after Jia Dongxu's death and received a period of knowledge training. She knows as many words as a junior high school student.

"It's just a small matter, Auntie. I'll hand it over to Sister Qin when I get back."

Liu Ping'an put the letter in his pocket. Seeing that Qin's mother had nothing else to say, he said a few words of goodbye and left Qinjia Village.

Just as Grandma Chen Lan said, summer has really begun today.

Liu Ping'an was walking on the road, the sun was high in the sky.

Cicadas on the branches on both sides of the road were chirping at the top of their lungs, their voices extremely loud and piercing.

Under the scorching sun, Liu Ping'an felt a little wilted.

However, Sijiu City is not far from Qinjia Village. This time Liu Ping'an walked faster and reached the city in about half an hour.

When he arrived in Sijiucheng, Liu Ping'an did not go home, but went to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"Stop, no one is allowed near the factory."

Liu Ping'an had been at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill for a short time and didn't recognize the security guard at the door. However, he took out the purchase certificate issued by the factory and the security guard nodded and let him in.

"It seems that there are still not enough people here. You have to show your face, otherwise you will be stopped even when you enter the door."

Liu Ping'an muttered to himself as he walked in carrying the bag of flour.

When Liu Ping'an thought of this, he did not take the things to the warehouse immediately, but went to the purchasing department.

Going up the stairs, Liu Ping'an arrived at the door of the head of the purchasing department.

"Old Chen, the meat supply in the factory is insufficient recently. You have to think of a way to prevent the workers from starving."

"Director, the meat processing plant has to give priority to other units. We..."

Snapped!

"You're just trying to be nice to people, right? Isn't our steel mill a big one? It's really unreasonable to still divide them up."

"People from other factories came to study today, and we have nothing to offer them."

After these words were spoken, the room fell into silence.

Liu Ping'an heard the noise inside and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong~

"Wait a minute... come in."

When he heard the sound from inside, Liu Ping'an pushed the door open and went in.

I found two people in the house.

One was Chief Chen of the Purchasing Department who had introduced Liu Ping'an to him, and the other was Deputy Director Li of the factory, whom Liu Ping'an had met once from afar.

Section Chief Chen looked unhappy, but he saw that Liu Ping'an's complexion had improved a lot.

"Ping An, are you back from shopping? Did you get anything?"

Although Section Chief Chen said this, he actually didn't have any hope.

Many of the buyers who came back from the countryside recently had nothing, basically just a few eggs.

The situation is not good now. How can money be as useful as supplies?

"It's a reward. I have some bear meat here."

"No harvest, no harvest. You also...what, bear meat!"

Section Chief Chen subconsciously tried to comfort his new colleague, fearing that he would be discouraged, but he immediately stood up in surprise halfway through.

Deputy Director Li, who was sitting opposite Section Chief Chen, walked over in surprise.

"Comrade Ping An, right?"

Deputy Director Li extended his hand cordially, took Liu Ping'an's hand, and whispered softly but eagerly, "Where is the bear meat?"

Liu Ping'an pulled his hand out, and the bag in the space was filled with bear meat again.

He lifted the bag beside him forcefully and placed it in front of the two men with a thump.

Section Chief Chen couldn't wait to open it, but when he saw the box full of bear meat, he was completely stunned.

"Is this really bear meat?"

"Yes, this is the bear meat I hunted in the countryside. I asked the fellow villagers to help me process it."

"Chief, this is enough."

Deputy Director Li mentioned it, veins popping out on his face, but the smile on his face did not fade.

"That's enough. Xiao Chen, hurry up and send the bear meat to the warehouse... No, send half of it to the canteen to nourish the workers at noon today. Make a public announcement on the radio to publicize Comrade Ping An's contribution. Let everyone know that we have a capable person in our factory who will not let the workers go hungry."

When Section Chief Chen heard this, he immediately nodded and ran to the side to call for help in carrying the meat.

Deputy Director Li patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder affectionately.

"Ping An, you have done a great job. I will give you more subsidies based on the market price of pork."

Deputy Director Li's urgent problem was solved, and he felt a lot more relaxed and spoke more casually.

Liu Ping'an didn't care either. The price of pork is the price of pork.

After all, there is no price for bear meat on the market.

It would be the best thing to be able to subsidize some of the original price.

At this time, Section Chief Chen brought two people and left happily carrying bags of flour.

Only Liu Ping'an and Deputy Director Li were left in the room.

At this time, Liu Ping'an deliberately took something out of his arms and took out a flour bag, which surprised Deputy Director Li.

"This is?"

When Liu Ping'an opened the bag, Deputy Director Li was immediately surprised.

"And bear paws! Ping An, you really gave me a surprise."

The people who came today were actually leaders. Deputy Director Li was thinking about how to entertain them, but he didn't expect that there would be such a rare thing as bear paw.

He was so excited just now that he even forgot these common sense.

How could a bear not have bear paws?

"Comrade Ping'an, you have performed a great service. Not only have you ensured the meat supply for the factory, but you have also solved my urgent problem."

Deputy Director Li looked at Liu Ping'an with a softer and more friendly gaze.

After thinking for a while, he took out a wad of money from his pocket.

"I just calculated your bear meat, it's about 100 kilograms. Now the market price of pork is more than 120 cents per kilogram. I'll give you a piece of bear meat. Here's yuan. Take it."

Liu Ping'an took the money with a smile on his face, and saw Deputy Director Li take out a bill from his jacket pocket.

"I noticed that you didn't have a bicycle when you reported for work. This is the bicycle ticket I give you as a reward on behalf of the factory. It will be convenient for you to purchase one in the future."

"Thank you, Director Li."

"Oh, why thank me? You should thank the factory."

Deputy Director Li was very satisfied with Liu Ping'an's attitude, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not enough.

"From now on, you can go shopping as you please. I'll talk to Section Chief Chen and tell him that you only need to hand in some items every month. It doesn't have to be too much."

This is what Liu Ping'an wants.

I didn't expect that Deputy Director Li is so attractive. No wonder he can become a leader.

"Thank you, Director Li."

"Oh, it's nothing. If you work harder in the future, I will try to raise your rank and salary."

Deputy Director Li looked at the bear gall in the bag and said happily, "If you make more contributions in the future, I can give you a few more jobs."

Liu Ping'an knew that this was because Deputy Director Li valued him.

Although it was just a pie in the sky, the job opportunity was very tempting, and Liu Ping'an was thinking of getting one for his family.

So he nodded immediately.

Deputy Director Li also patted him on the shoulder happily and left with the bag of flour.

Don’t worry about what kind of person Deputy Director Li is or what happens to him in the future.

As long as he gets the job and uses it before he falls, it will be a good thing.

"More than 100 yuan, plus the great solidarity I received yesterday, I still have some extra to buy a bicycle."

Liu Ping'an looked at the bicycle ticket over and over again, then put it in the pocket of his clothes, walked down the stairs and walked out of the factory.

His mind is now full of bicycles, and he has to hurry to get them.

He also wants to be the coolest guy on the street!
