60s: I have a store

Chapter 25 I want to make progress?

Section Chief Wang waved at him.

Zhou Yimin hurried over and greeted them: "Section Chief, Section Chief!"

Section Chief Zheng patted Zhou Yimin on the shoulder and introduced the middle-aged man wearing glasses on his left.

"Yimin, this is Director Ding from our logistics department. Your watch ticket was given to you by Director Ding."

Zhou Yimin immediately greeted: "Hello, Director Ding! Thank you for your watch ticket. I was planning to buy a watch and I'm short of a watch ticket!"

This is the boss of the boss of the boss!

Director Ding was also observing Zhou Yimin, with a gentle look on his face, and said with a smile: "Well done! You have brought honor to our logistics department. Keep up the good work, the watch ticket is what you deserve.

Work hard and strive to be promoted to the next level in the second half of the year."

"Yes, Director Ding, don't worry!"

When your leader asks you to work hard, what else can you do except say "yes"?
He is not the silly Zhu in a certain drama who always talks back to his superiors. That is really a stupid thing to do.

Although in this era, as long as you don't make any mistakes, even the factory manager will find it difficult to fire you, but he is a leader after all, and you completely ignore him. If he doesn't make things difficult for you, who else will he make things difficult for?

After the butcher chef cuts open the stomachs of the wild boar and black bear, the next step is to weigh them.

The wild boar weighs more than 109 jin, so let's round it up to 110 jin. The black bear weighs 262 jin, but you can't just count the meat of the black bear, the bear paws and the gallbladder are all paid for separately.

Director Ding has already made arrangements. The bear gall is a gift and he plans to take it away.

The master has already taken out the bear's gallbladder, but it is not as good as a bronze gallbladder, so it can only be considered an iron gallbladder.

Bear bile is also graded. It has different luster and colors. The golden, transparent and bright one like amber, crispy, bitter with sweet taste is commonly called "gold gall" or "copper gall"; the black one, hard and brittle or thick paste-like one is commonly called "ink gall" or "iron gall"; the yellow-green one, with less brightness and crispy texture is commonly called "cauliflower gall".

Director Ding took out 160 yuan, gave it to Zhou Yimin, and took the bear gall away.

Bear gallbladders are not registered and stored, and the same goes for bear paws. Zhou Yimin will be paid 10 yuan for the front paw and 15 yuan for the back paw. Chief Zheng will take it away later.

As for the wild boar meat, Section Chief Wang asked his master to cut off 12 kilograms of it, which he would take back to his section and distribute to his subordinates. Of course, the money would still be given to Zhou Yimin.

However, those items taken away will not be registered into the warehouse.

Zhou Yimin sighed inwardly.

It is indeed the case that “If you don’t take it and I don’t take it, how can the commissioner take it?”

For him, if there is no loss, he doesn't bother to care.

Actually, this is considered good. At least you paid for it and it wasn’t taken away in vain.

After the final calculation, the black bear cost 460 yuan, and the wild boar cost 110 yuan. Zhou Yimin earned a total of 570 yuan, which was a huge sum of money.

This time, in order to show sympathy to our farmers, the price of wild boar meat has been raised to 1 yuan per catty.

"Yimin, I know you really want to make progress, but don't work too hard. Be careful when you go out in the future." Section Chief Wang said to Zhou Yimin earnestly.

Zhou Yimin: “…”

I want to improve? How come I don't know?

"Okay! Chief, I'll go back first."

"Wait, there's still one pound of meat for you," Section Chief Wang reminded.

Zhou Yimin waved his hand and said, "I don't want it anymore. You can keep it, Chief! I also collected two pheasants."

Upon hearing that the boy had also intercepted two pheasants, Section Chief Wang was no longer polite and took the meat that he had intended for Zhou Yimin away with him after get off work.

After leaving the steel plant, Zhou Yimin was thinking about how much sweet potatoes and potatoes he should give to Shangshui Village. After all, this time it was more than 500 yuan.

He slapped his head and realized that he hadn’t even checked out today’s 1 yuan flash sale!

Zhou Yimin immediately went to the "store" and found that today's 1 yuan flash sale area was 100 kilograms of soybeans and 100 kilograms of peanut oil. Without saying anything, he bought them immediately.

Soybeans are also good things, and can be used to make tofu and other soy products. 100 kilograms of peanut oil is divided into 10 barrels, each barrel contains 10 kilograms, which is quite humane.

This time I go back, I have a lot of things to buy.

In addition to the sweet potatoes and potatoes for Shangshui Village and the food for Dachun's family, we also have to prepare some to take back to my grandparents' home.

A barrel of peanut oil must be prepared, and 50 kilograms of sorghum for the people who build the house. As for meat, just bring two chickens! Too much is not good, it will spoil easily in this weather, and there is no refrigerator.

Nowadays, the taste of meat has changed a bit, but people still eat it without being so particular.

After Zhou Yimin thought it over, he was about to go back, but suddenly he remembered something and immediately changed direction.

Go buy two watches.

He planned to use the watch ticket to buy a new watch for his grandfather.

Zhou Yimin himself plans to visit the commissioned store.

Before traveling through time, didn’t you read those novels? The protagonists would go to commission shops to find second-hand watches like Rolex, which didn’t require tickets and would be valuable in the future.

Go to the department store to buy a new watch first.

At that time, the department store was divided into three floors. The first floor mainly sold tobacco, alcohol, non-staple food, and daily necessities; the second floor was for fabrics, clothing, hardware and other goods; and the third floor was for high-end and valuable items, such as clocks, radios, etc.

The sales clerks in the department store are also very arrogant, comparable to those in the restaurant.

Zhou Yimin didn't look at anything else and went straight to the counter selling watches.

He picked a Shanghai brand watch, handed over the watch ticket and 120 yuan, and said, "Comrade, help me get this watch."

The salesperson was a little surprised.

This was bought too quickly.

You know, watches are big items, costing more than 100 yuan. Many people looked at them again and again, and the salesmen sometimes couldn't help but get angry, and that's why.

"Are you sure you want this?"

Zhou Yimin frowned and asked her, "Is this a bad one?"

"What are you talking about? It must be fine. How can a new watch be broken?"

"That's it then."

Well! It's rare to see someone buying a watch like this. The salesperson took the watch ticket and the 120 yuan left. He counted it twice before taking out the watch and giving it to Zhou Yimin.

Zhou Yimin tried the watch on his wrist and found that the bracelet was a little long and he had to remove about 3 centimeters. He had noticed the size of his grandfather's wrist and it was slightly smaller than his.

This is not difficult and can be done by someone who specializes in watch repair.

Zhou Yimin left the department store and went straight to the commissioned shop, where there were people who specialized in watch repair.

The so-called consignment shop, also called trust shop, is actually the pawnshop of the past. Its function is to pick up missing items, fill gaps, relieve poverty and provide emergency relief.

There is a wide variety of things in it. The "goods" are not arranged neatly like those in department stores, and the atmosphere in the store seems very "grey".

On the shelves, counters and on the ground are all kinds of old furniture, porcelain, bronzes, clothes, furs, clocks, bicycles and other old things.

There are many commissioned shops in Sijiu City, and the one Zhou Yimin came to is relatively large and famous.

After looking for a while, he actually found a second-hand famous watch, a Patek Philippe. He asked the price and found out it was only 80 yuan.

So what are you waiting for? I immediately paid 80 yuan for it.

He thought the watch was well maintained and if he auctioned it later, millions would be a piece of cake.

By the way, I adjusted the strap of my new watch and left as soon as I was done.

Zhou Yimin didn't know that a group of people came to Zhoujiazhuang and went to his water well. After Village Chief Wang and his team reported it, they immediately alerted the relevant leaders and rushed to Zhoujiazhuang to confirm the truth.
