"It's okay, don't let it slip by then." Li Feng looked at Jia Haijie knowingly.
"It's a big deal. We drive big cars, and many of the people who hitchhike are people who come out of the countryside to sell eggs on the black market. Just find a few people who hitchhiked before, and he may want to ask for more. It’s a matter of taking a train.”
Li Feng opened his palm and showed the two yuan he had just received. Jia Haijie looked at it indifferently.
"Let's see if they have finished unloading the car. We will send him a train in the afternoon."
The two of them walked back to the dispatch room, took the afternoon pickup order, and Go straight to the construction site of the family building.
"Do you often meet people who need to buy something?" Li Feng pretended to continue digging for inside information.
"It's not that often. Everyone has friends, so I can help with easy things. After all, who wants us to run outside all the time." Jia Haijie said with some helplessness.
The two got into the car, left the steel rolling mill and ran to the countryside.
This time Jia Haijie did not drive directly to the destination. Li Feng felt that he was driving south of Sijiu City based on the direction.
From the cement road to the gravel road, we finally ran more and more remote on the country road, until we stopped at a dead end at the end.
"Let's go. Let's buy eggs today. If you need to eat at home, buy less. Anyway, we are on the road every day. It's just a side trip. Bringing too many home will be too eye-catching."< /p>
Jia Haijie opened the tool box under the carriage, took out a sack, and took the lead to walk forward.
Li Feng looked around and saw that there were only a few households, so he was skeptical about how many eggs he could harvest.
"Where is this? No one living at home can see it." Li Feng asked cautiously.
"It is safer when there are fewer people. You will know when you arrive. It is much cheaper to buy it yourself than to go to the black market. It costs 5 cents and 50 cents. The key is that it is bigger."
"Not far from here is the Red Star People's Commune."
Jia Haijie led the way while pointing at the route. He walked for about ten minutes before he saw a house.
The two houses built with adobe bricks are approximately forty to fifty square meters in area. The main beams of wood extend out of the eaves covered with black tiles. There is a small yard surrounded by a fence along the house, and there is a semi-open-air earth-brick stove near the main house.
It is very consistent with the appearance of self-built houses among rural residents in the 1960s. It still has a sense of the times when viewed up close. Li Feng remembers that his grandma’s house also looked like this.
On the flat land in the yard, three or four children were kneeling on the ground playing a game of catching stones. They saw an adult approaching and hurriedly went into the house and called the adult out.
An old woman on crutches staggered out of the house and saw Jia Haijie. The wrinkled face cracked into a smile.
“Here, kid, sit down, haven’t you seen the young man who came with you here?”
“Auntie, the factoryThe new comrade here, I brought him here to buy it today. "Jia Haijie moved a small stool familiarly and sat at the door to watch the wind. He handed the sack in his hand to Li Feng.
"Young man, come with me. "The aunt walked tremblingly on crutches and brought Li Feng into the house.
The furnishings in the home are relatively simple. There are portraits of great men hanging on the wall at the entrance and a broken wooden table in the middle of the room. , two long wooden benches.
Grandma pointed to a bamboo basket hanging on the beam and asked Li Feng to stand on the table and take it out.
“Auntie, I’ll take it first today. 30 pieces. If you need more later, I will come back. ”
“Young man, has your wife given birth?” Li Fengqian’s hand paused for a moment.
Li Fengxin said that I also want to give red eggs. The key is where the mother of the child is. I don’t know yet.
“No, aunt, my friend’s child needs some health care, so I brought it to him. "After counting a dollar and sixty-five cents, I handed it to the aunt.
The aunt also patiently counted it twice, and then asked Li Feng to hang the basket on the beam again.
After Li Feng finished the transaction, they walked back.
Li Feng held the egg carefully, as if he was a spy. At this time, it was illegal and criminal for private individuals to do business with each other, and speculation was considered a crime. It's not that small, and you have to squat on the fence to catch it.
It was also Li Feng's first time, so he was a little guilty, and he was still thinking about where to hide the egg.
Not like Jia Haijie. Seeing this kind of thing, he did a lot of things, and he asked Li Feng to show his eggs openly and put them in a bright place.
After Li Feng got in the car, he took the remaining 45 cents. Just give it to Jia Haijie, he still needs to be a good person.
Jia Haijie has lost a lot of money in taking him on a short trip. He just took himself on the road, so he can't be greedy. .
Jia Haijie didn’t say much and took the money. Friends belong to friends, and interests belong to interests. Only when Li Feng is sensible will the road get wider.
After starting the fire. , the car backed up a little, and at a T-junction, it turned around and headed towards its afternoon destination.
“My aunt is also a hard-working person. Her son died of illness two years ago, and her daughter-in-law ran away with someone else. She left a few children behind, and the village felt sorry for them, so her children were allowed to collect wild eggs in the mountains behind. "
"Wild Eggs" This place is just sparsely populated, not deep in the mountains. There are so many wild eggs. Li Feng took thirty of them in the basket and there were still many left.
"The main government at home doesn't allow them to raise more animals. They just keep them in the back mountains. If nothing happens, a few children go to pick them up and make up for some work points. Those who are checked can only be said to be those who picked them up in the back mountains. It's difficult. If it doesn't come true, people will starve to death. ”
“Won’t this be lost? "Li Feng said with a slight doubt.
"The Qin family is a big name in Hongxing Commune, and they are somewhat related to the captain there. To irrigate the crops in the village, we have to rely on water from Hongxing. Orphans and widowers, if something goes wrong, there will be a fight between the two parties.of. "
"The money she earns from selling eggs is also handed over to the brigade to calculate work points, and then divided into rations during the autumn harvest. Otherwise, how can we buy food in rural areas without food stamps. There is extra money coming in from the team, and the players are happy to score points. She can make a few cents more by selling it to us. ”
Li Feng knows about this water.
It seems that this village relies on others, and the people upstream are pinching their necks, so they have acquiesced to this situation. Besides, they are all in the same village. , if you bully such a family again, you can force them to die.
This family’s surname is Qin, this is Qin Huairu, wasn’t this the same family in Hongxing Commune when Qin Jingru was not married into Siheyuan? Li Feng thought for a moment.
"But it's not much. We can't just collect it from this family. Her family has to sell some to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then we can take you to other places. home for a walk. "Jia Haijie held a cigarette in his mouth and turned the steering wheel and said to Li Feng.
"There are too many ways here. Without you, I wouldn't be able to drive the car by myself. Can understand immediately. ”
Li Feng is also very grateful to Jia Haijie. The two are not close friends. He can make profits and familiarize himself bit by bit with the inside story and rules of the industry. In this way, he can work in his next steel rolling mill. In life, you don’t have to explore by yourself.
“Hey, we are all brothers, let alone this, you are in my class just for my father’s sake. If I don't teach you these things after I ask you to come here, you will figure it out on your own in the future, don't you blame me? "
Jia Haijie waved his hand and said nonchalantly. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
