Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang was nervously sensing the two stupid militiamen, to prevent them from getting startled and shooting him again. He finally saw a few flashlights in the distance and a burst of hurried footsteps. He also sensed two teams of seven or eight people coming to surround him from both sides. A skinny old man in his fifties came over and looked at Zhang Renkang pushing his bicycle and the two militiamen pointing their guns at him. He kicked the militiamen angrily, then turned around and asked with a smile:

"Young man, where are you from? What are you doing in our commune?"

Zhang Renkang was so nervous when he saw the two fools being kicked back by the old man.

"Be careful, don't fire it accidentally"

Zhang Renkang could sense that there were more than a dozen guns pointed at him. If these two idiots accidentally fired, he would be shot into a sieve in an instant.

The thin old man said with a smile

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll take care of these two idiots when I get back."

"You haven't introduced yourself yet."

Zhang Renkang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said

"I am Zhang Renkang, the director of the logistics department of the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill. This time, I was introduced by Secretary Wei Dashan of Xiwengzhuang Commune to discuss cooperation with our commune."

When Tang He heard that he was from the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill, his eyes lit up instantly and he quickly shouted

"Get back here, everyone!"

He turned around and kicked the two ruffians a few times and shouted

"Tang Leng, you little bastard, how many times have I told you not to shoot for fun every day? You little bastard, you almost scared Director Zhang, I will beat you to death, little bastard"

Hurry up and pull Zhang Renkang and say carefully

"Director Zhang, right? You are not scared by these two little beasts, are you? Come on, let's go into the village. I will calm you down."

Then he shouted

"Tang Ergou, get back quickly, tell your wife to kill the chicken and cook, and carry my good wine to the commune."

Tang He has actually been waiting for Zhang Renkang to come these days. Ever since a batch of cloth suddenly flowed into the market from Xiwengzhuang Commune and Tongjunzhuang Commune, he heard the wives from both sides who married to Yanqi Commune say that their families had reached a cooperation with the factory from Sijiucheng, and they were settling accounts for the cloth.

Tang He went to Xiweng Village to find Wei Dashan to learn about the situation. After learning that Wei Dashan had given a letter of introduction to Director Zhang of the steel mill in charge of the cooperation, he had been waiting in the village for Zhang Renkang to come.

Zhang Renkang actually still didn't understand what cloth meant to their country in this era. Even though this place was near the city and backed by a reservoir, it was a good place with good weather and surplus food for every household. However, only a few families had the conditions to buy three feet of cloth during festivals and save them up to make new clothes.

Most of them wore mixed clothes and clothes made of old cloth that had been replaced and refurbished in previous years. If they could wear a solid-colored, straight-line coat, they would be considered a wealthy family. In the countryside, cloth was the hard currency second only to gold and silver. If they could afford three meters of cloth, they could directly marry a new wife and take her home.

Since Tang He knew that he could exchange cloth from Zhang Renkang, he had been waiting day and night on the main road in front of the village. It was not that he was anxious, but there were many unmarried young people in the commune. The commune raised public property and could only exchange the public share that was handed in. Private sales were against the policy. If he could exchange some cloth from Zhang Renkang, it would be just right for the older young people in the village to find wives.

Tang He smiled and pulled Zhang Renkang along the way to apologize.

"Director Zhang, I have been waiting for you for a long time these days."

"I thought that Wei Dashan was making fun of me."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"There's been a lot of work going on in the factory these days, so I came to visit the old secretary as soon as I had time."

Tang He took Zhang Renkang to the brigade headquarters to treat them to a chicken and goose stew. After Zhang Renkang had a good meal, he looked at the old man Secretary Tang's smile and eyes, put down his chopsticks and said,

"Since Secretary Tang knows the purpose of my visit, I wonder what Yanqi Commune can provide us?"

Tang He said with a smile

"Director Zhang, you don't know that although we have flocks of chickens and ducks near Yanqi Lake, these are the task indicators handed over to the city by the commune. We can't squeeze out much for you. It is estimated that each month is only more than 100 kilograms of chickens, ducks and geese and 1,800 eggs."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"It's really not much. If we go here alone to collect it, it's really not enough."

Tang He said with a smile

"Director Zhang, do you know what other good things our commune has?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"Secretary Tang, I don't know much about Miyun, please explain it to me."

Tang He laughed and said

"Miyun is an important place for supplying agricultural and sideline products to the city. Places like Tongjun Village and Henan Village are flat and located in the lower reaches of the river, suitable for growing corn and other feed and raising pigs. Wei Dashan has been raising more fish in recent years because of the reservoir. Although we have flocks of chickens, ducks and geese in Yanqi Lake, and we can also raise fish and shrimps by the lake, it is also an important commune for supplying the city. In addition, there is a ranch in Xitian."

"But we also have another core breeding business in Yanqi Lake, which is raising sheep. Backed by Jundu Mountain, we can get into the mountain four or five miles from the village. We have more than 800 sheep. Although not as many as in Zhangjiakou, it is also an important source of mutton for Miyun, Huairou and Sijiucheng."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Does the secretary want to exchange mutton with me?"

Tang He said with a smile

"The environment in the mountains is complicated. Is it normal for us to have five or six sheep get lost or die every month?"

The two of them burst into laughter, and Tang He continued

"It's not that exaggerated. Although we raise sheep, the space is limited after all, so we can only supplement them. So we squeeze out six or seven sheep every month to exchange materials with the steel mill. The higher-ups can understand that, right?"

Zhang Renkang said

"In this case, our two families can cooperate. We want to know if the secretary can be stable every month?"

Tang He raised his finger and said

"I will give you 20 chickens and ducks, 10 geese, and 800 eggs a month. This is all we can give you because the targets given to me by my superiors are higher."

"But we can also provide the steel mill with five sheep every month. They are all Cangshan black sheep, which weigh about 120 kilograms. They can produce at least 70 kilograms of meat and more than 20 kilograms of offal."

Zhang Renkang calculated and said

"Okay, then we will cooperate with the commune according to the market price."

Zhang Renkang calculated that five sheep weigh about 300 kilograms, which means at least 230 to 240 kilograms of meat and offal. If you add the other chickens, ducks, geese, etc., they also weigh 500 kilograms, which is enough to open a separate line for exchange and cooperation.

Seeing Zhang Renkang agreed, Tang He said happily

"Wei Dashan should have given you the letter of introduction to Shicheng Manor, right?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Yeah, I was planning to go look for that place tomorrow."

Tang He smiled and guided

"You don't really need to go there. The roads there are all mountainous, and it's isolated and there's nothing good there. You can just ask Wei Dashan to come to Xiweng Village and negotiate with him about what he can give you, and then you can trade directly in Xiweng Village."

"I see you're having a hard time finding our Yanqi Manor. It will be troublesome if you get lost in the mountains."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Okay, in that case, I'll ask Tongjunzhuang to say hello to Secretary Wei and ask them to call the person out at the next transaction time."

Then he said with a smile

"I'm also afraid of getting lost and running to Mongolia."

The two of them drank and chatted until late at night. Tang He prepared a room for Zhang Renkang and let him stay in Yanqi Commune first. He would discuss the details with him and sign the contract tomorrow morning.

After seeing Zhang Renkang fall asleep, Tang He was dazed and told someone to be on duty at the brigade headquarters to look after Zhang Renkang.
