The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Chapter 42: 8 Yuan Maotai

Xiao Lijuan took a look and found that it was true.

Although it rained heavily last night.

However, the withered weeds did not turn green again, but instead became more and more withered on the ground and were about to die.

This herbicide is really very effective.

It is estimated that Li Jieshi got up early in the morning and went to the fields. He especially looked at the land contracted by Wang Haoran and found that the herbicide was really effective, so he went to Wang Haoran to ask for it.

"It really saves a lot of working time! Otherwise, just pulling weeds can make a person exhausted to death." Xiao Lijuan said.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "In the future, being a farmer will be very easy."

"Because all kinds of agricultural machinery, fertilizers and pesticides that are convenient for rural areas will be gradually promoted or developed."

After checking the crops, the two men headed towards Mafang Commune.

By the way, Wang Haoran hasn't been to Mafang Machinery Factory for a few days.

However, there is actually no problem at all leaving him now.

The workers he trained are already able to operate mechanical equipment skillfully.

Now, the motorized tricycles produced by Mafang Machinery Factory have begun to gradually increase production.

Orders from the supply and marketing cooperative system are also increasing.

Wang Haoran went to find Dai Hongtao.

Although it was only around 8 o'clock in the morning, he was already sitting in the office.

Seeing Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan coming over, he smiled and said, "Haoran! Have you abandoned us?"

"I haven't been to our factory for a few days. I feel empty inside."

Wang Haoran said: "Director Dai, you are joking. I think our factory is now on the right track!"

"When you need me, I'll be there anytime!"

Dai Hongtao held Wang Haoran's hand and said, "I feel relieved when you say this!"

"Now, the whole county is saying that the rain last night was caused by you?"

Wang Haoran told Dai Hongtao about his experience of making rain-increasing shells.

Dai Hongtao sighed and said, "I don't know what's wrong with your brain! How come you are so smart?"

"This rain-increasing cannonball is so useful. If it doesn't rain for a long time, can't we make rain anytime we want?"

Wang Haoran smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not that magical. There still needs to be signs of rain before we can use this thing to increase rainfall."

After talking for a while, Wang Haoran asked to borrow a motorized tricycle.

Dai Hongtao agreed readily.

Just like that, Wang Haoran drove a motorized tricycle and headed towards the city with Xiao Lijuan.

At this time, the remote suburbs were large rural areas with fields everywhere.

The road is not very good either.

However, the pass rate of motorized tricycles is quite high and they can run on any road.

The two first arrived at Pingu County.

The old town of Pingu is also very small, with only two intersecting streets, a main road, and various units on both sides.

Wang Haoran thought that no matter what, he had to buy some decent gifts.

However, material things are really scarce in this era.

It is basically impossible to buy what Wang Haoran wants.

He and Xiao Lijuan parked the car in front of the Pingu County Supply and Marketing Cooperative store.

This motorized tricycle suddenly became the center of attention.

Quite a few people gathered around to watch.

Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan walked into the store together.

Nowadays, shops all have tall counters with sales clerks sitting behind them. If you want to buy something, just tell the sales clerk and they will get it for you.

Of course, when they are in a bad mood, they will use words to attack others like crazy.

What should I buy?
Wang Haoran had money and receipts in his pocket, but when he glanced at the items on the shelves, he didn't know what to buy.

"How about, let's buy two bottles of Moutai?" Wang Haoran asked Xiao Lijuan.

There was indeed Moutai on sale on the counter. This was beyond Wang Haoran's expectation, because the current production of Moutai is very low, less than a thousand tons. It should be rarely seen on the market. A bottle costs eight yuan.

This price, at this time, is of course extremely high.

However, an average worker can buy about three or four bottles with his monthly salary.

But even so, the vast majority of the lower-class people will not buy it. Isn't the loose liquor at a few cents a pound good?
Xiao Lijuan hesitated for a moment: "Do you have a Moutai ticket?"

"If we don't have it, I'm afraid we won't be able to buy it."

Now you need a special wine ticket to buy Moutai.

Without wine tickets, money is useless.

Wang Haoran really doesn’t have a wine ticket.

Because he didn't have the habit of drinking before.

"I really don't have it. I'll ask the salesperson if I can pay more to buy it." Wang Haoran said.

Xiao Lijuan shook her head and said, "It's probably impossible without a wine ticket. You can only suffer the boredom of their salesperson."

Wang Haoran smiled slightly: "Then we have to give it a try."

He coughed lightly and said to the saleswoman who was sitting at the counter and eating melon seeds, "Comrade, can Moutai be bought with money only?"

The saleswoman raised her eyelids to glance at him and was about to scold him when she suddenly felt that the man in front of her looked familiar.

"Are you that so-and-so?" the saleswoman asked.

Wang Haoran thought that this seemed to be a sign of recognition of him.

He said, "Yes, my name is Wang Haoran."

"Comrade, do you know me?"

The saleswoman smiled and said, "Li Yunpeng is my man, my name is Lin Shengnan. I heard my wife praising you this morning!"

It turned out that she was the wife of Li Yunpeng, the director of Pingu County Pesticide Factory.

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "So you are Director Li's lover. Nice to meet you."

Wang Haoran and Lin Shengnan shook hands.

Lin Shengnan said: "Comrade Haoran, why do you want to buy Moutai?"

Wang Haoran said, "I'm going to visit relatives today, so I have to bring some nice gifts."

Lin Shengnan took out two wine tickets from her pocket and said, "Here are the wine tickets. You just need to pay me 16 yuan."

Wang Haoran was a little embarrassed: "How can that be possible?"

"How about I give you 5 yuan for a wine ticket?"

Even if he only gave the other party 5 yuan for a drink ticket, Wang Haoran still felt that he had made a fortune.

Lin Shengnan said angrily: "We are all friends, why are you so angry?"

"You have helped my old Li a lot!"

"Don't mention the money again."

Just like that, Wang Haoran spent 16 yuan to buy two bottles of Moutai.

In addition, he also bought two boxes of snacks, spending a total of 18 yuan.

After placing the gifts in a specially made storage cabinet in the back of the tricycle, Wang Haoran and Xiao Lijuan got back on the tricycle and continued on their journey.

Anyway, Wang Haoran felt that he had become the coolest guy on the road driving this motorized tricycle.

"Haoran, the gift is a bit expensive." Xiao Lijuan said.

Wang Haoran said, "How can it be expensive? When your parents came to visit you, they spent 150 yuan!"

"We should respect them more in the future. I don't have parents anymore, so from now on, I will treat them as my own parents."

Wang Haoran's words made Xiao Lijuan's eyes red immediately.

"Thank you, Haoran. I am so touched by your words."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "Okay, we are a family, the closest people in the world! I always feel that you are still polite to me, this is not very good!"

As the two were talking, they soon arrived near Peking University.

At this time, the area around Peking University was not prosperous, and was even a bit depressed.
