Hello, 1983

In the office, Liu Qingshan met Liu, the deputy director of the Xidan vegetable market, a middle-aged man who was slightly fat. He was shaking the phone in the room, and there was a layer of sweat on his white face.

Now that the program-controlled telephone has not been implemented, it is indeed laborious enough to make a call.

Finally, when Deputy Director Liu finished the phone call and took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, the staff member approached: Director, I'm looking for you.

Deputy Director Liu glanced at Liu Qingshan and the others, but he didn't know each other, so he asked impatiently, Where's the note?

Those who can come here to go through the back door must have approval notes, or some relationship units, or some masters with relatively large energy.

Liu Qingshan smiled: Director Liu, hello, my name is Liu Qingshan, this is my uncle and my second sister. In our hometown, there is a batch of fresh vegetables that need to be sold, so I found you here.

When Deputy Director Liu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It's better not to come through the back door.

Wait, what did he say, come to us to sell vegetables?

This is a good thing. Before the Spring Festival, there are not enough vegetables to sell.

However, Director Liu frowned: The key is that there is no procurement plan, and there will be no settlement at that time.

This is indeed more troublesome, unlike Liu Qingshan, who sold vegetables to car factories and paid for them directly.

After hearing this, Liu Qingshan said, We are not individuals, we are a unified organization in the county, and the amount of vegetables is also very large.

Oh, which suburb are you from?

Deputy Director Liu nodded, if it was a vegetable company in the county, it would be fine.

We are from Kyrgyzstan...

Of course, Liu Qingshan must tell the truth.

Deputy Director Liu was startled: Well, it's more than 2,000 miles, at least two days, little comrade, are you kidding me?

In this winter, it is indeed a bit difficult to transport fresh vegetables and travel for two thousand miles, mainly because the transportation is too inconvenient.

Of course, Liu Qingshan knew this situation best. Their first batch of greenhouse vegetables was shipped to Spring City, a few hundred miles away.

So he said: We have special thermal insulation equipment, and the county also has a special transportation brigade. Director Liu, as long as you want, we promise to deliver the vegetables!

All mature vegetables, of course, can not rot in the greenhouse.

Liu Qingshan is very aware of the current mood of the growers: even if they are pulled by an ox cart, they will definitely be able to pull it!

As for what kind of transportation team, although it has not been officially established, isn't it ready to set up a project?

Director Liu pondered for a moment: This is not too bad, it sounds quite professional.

So he asked again: What kinds of vegetables are there, and what are the specific amounts?

There is a door!

Of course, Liu Qingshan knows all these things well: There are many varieties of vegetables, celery, leeks, cucumbers are the most numerous, followed by tomatoes and eggplants. For the exact number, I can call back to the county to inquire now.

Okay, you fight now!

Deputy Director Liu was also overjoyed,

If this batch of vegetables went on the market a few years ago, it would really solve their pressing needs.

Liu Qingshan quickly called Zheng Hongqi. He did not call Brother Zheng, but directly called Magistrate Zheng:

Mayor Zheng, it's me. I'm at the Xidan vegetable market right now. Director Liu of the market is right next to me. I need to ask about the variety and quantity of vegetables in our county...

Okay, let me take a note, thirty-five tons of celery, nearly thirty tons of leeks, and fifty tons of cucumbers...

Liu Qingshan kept jumping with numbers in his mouth, and Deputy Director Liu, who was listening next to him, his eyes became bigger and bigger with each number.

When Liu Qingshan put down the phone, Deputy Director Liu waved his hands again and again: This is too much. If we bring it here in a concentrated way, we can't eat it in Xidan, mainly because the vegetables have a relatively short shelf life.

After speaking, he asked with a little doubt: Little comrade, is there really so much vegetable production in your county?

Liu Qingshan nodded: This is still part of the sales to the surrounding areas. Director Liu, do you think this is possible? Please help, and can you help contact other vegetable markets.

Our county magistrate said just now that he will escort the car over, and he will definitely come to thank him at that time.

The last sentence obviously has some effect. After deliberating for a while, Deputy Director Liu began to shake the phone again.

After calling for more than an hour, it was estimated that the phone was getting hot. Deputy Director Liu ended the communication and said cheerfully to Liu Qingshan: Everyone has been contacted, and tell you to deliver the goods in the county.

But let's go to the front, because this is an unplanned transfer. If the vegetables are frozen or rotten, you are responsible for the loss.

As for the price, it will be done according to the agreement.

Liu Qingshan put a heart in his stomach, and quickly replied no problem, and then called Zheng Hongqi again.

Zheng Hongqi was obviously waiting for news on the phone, and was quickly connected. After hearing the good news from Liu Qingshan's side, Zheng Hongqi almost cried with joy.

If these vegetables can't be sold, the farmers will suffer great losses. As the person in charge of this project, he doesn't need farmers to throw rotten vegetables at him. He wants to dig a hole to bury himself.

Qingshan, when I go, let's talk in detail. This time, big brother will treat you to a good drink!

Zheng Hongqi's voice on the phone was extraordinarily excited.

Liu Qingshan laughed a few times: Come on, why are you looking for me? I've heard all about it. You came back during the New Year to propose marriage to my old sister.

He can also understand the pressure on Zheng Hongqi, so he just said a few jokes to help this big brother Zheng relieve the pressure.

On the other side of the phone, Zheng Hongqi's laughter and scolding also came, and then he began to say serious things:

Qingshan, you can help me and ask, does the market need pork and white striped chicken?

Deputy Director Liu also kept listening with his ears open, and immediately shouted: If you want, we will bring as many as you want!

It's Chinese New Year. Of course, chicken, duck, fish, etc. are the most in demand. Did you not see people queuing up outside their vegetable market at midnight?

This time I didn't need Liu Qingshan to convey it, Zheng Hongqi could hear it clearly from there.

For example, pork half son and white striped chicken are more convenient to transport. Anyway, they are all frozen and can be loaded on the truck.

Liu Qingshan pondered for a while, and then said to the phone: Brother Zheng, ask our village to help bring some rice and eggs over, and I will give it to friends in the capital.

You still have fresh eggs, bring them here, we want them all!

Deputy Director Liu roared again, this time even louder than before.

In this winter, eggs are a good thing, and the supply is definitely in short supply.

The quantity of this egg is definitely not many, try to transport it as much as possible.

Liu Qingshan didn't need to ask Zheng Hongqi, he gave Deputy Director Liu an answer.

Deputy Director Liu obviously also knew this situation: In any case, you have to get over 1800 pounds, and it's good to have a relationship with the unit.

The matter was finally negotiated, and the rest was nothing to do with Liu Qingshan, just wait for the arrival of the vegetable convoy.

It is estimated that it will take at least three or four days, and it happens to be around the twenty-seventh or eighth of the twelfth lunar month, which is the peak of sales.

Deputy Director Liu was also in a good mood. He opened the drawer of his desk, took out some tickets, and stuffed them into Liu Qingshan's hands:

Little comrade, you should use these first. By the way, I was so busy just now that I forgot. I haven't asked for your name. It's really rude.

Liu Qingshan also extended his hand formally: Director Liu, we are a family, and my surname is Liu, Liu Qingshan.

Shaking hands, Deputy Director Liu thought for a while, muttered a few words, and then slapped his thigh: Liu Qingshan, I said, why did you look familiar just now, are you the Liu Qingshan from Wanwan Village?

Seeing Liu Qingshan smiling and nodding, Deputy Director Liu immediately became more enthusiastic: I said how can you mobilize so many vegetables all at once? I really read the deeds of your village and county carefully, Comrade Qingshan, you are amazing!

Everyone carried the sedan chairs, and Liu Qingshan also said: Thanks to the support of leaders like Deputy Director Liu, otherwise, our vegetables will suffer this time.

Haha, Deputy Director Liu was also in a good mood, and grabbed a handful of tickets from the drawer and handed them over.

Then, this is to purchase some special items. When the time comes, I will bring them back to the comrades in the county. It is a greeting from the people of the capital.

Liu Qingshan glanced at it, and was also shocked: Good guy, they are all liquor tickets for Maotai, one hundred bottles, look at this, there are five or six, that is five or six hundred bottles.

He has always wanted to save some Maotai. After all, the Maotai produced now is the real thing.

This is not to sell for money in the future, it is mainly to keep the water flowing and drink slowly.

It's just that commodities like Maotai are restricted to ordinary people, and they can't buy that many with money.

Unexpectedly, this Deputy Director Liu is really generous.

After thanking them again, Liu Qingshan and the others said their goodbyes.

Originally, I wanted to go shopping in the vegetable market, but when I saw the crowd inside, several people were dizzy.

When I came out of the vegetable market, I found that there were a lot of open-air temporary stalls in the Xidan Stadium. They were divided into different categories, mainly selling all kinds of frozen goods.

There are also long queues in front of each stall.

Walking all the way, I saw that there were not many people in front of the counter selling beef and mutton.

Liu Qingshan gave all those tickets to the second sister, and asked her to look for them to see if there were any meat tickets for beef and mutton.

In the past two years, pork has become more and more abundant, but beef and mutton are still relatively scarce, and are usually not available to ordinary people.

Only before the Spring Festival will there be a small supply.

Liu Yinfeng searched for a while, but he really found a meat ticket: five catties of mutton and ten catties of beef, which is quite a lot.

It happened that there were not many people in line, so I just waited for a few minutes, cut two big pieces of meat, and Uncle Lao Maoer happily pulled it back with three rounds.

Tomorrow's little year, it's time to make dumplings.

On the morning of the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, when the whole family was sitting together making dumplings, the fourth son's small speaker started broadcasting:

Brother, it's not fun at all to celebrate the New Year in the capital. When the next year comes, let's just spend the New Year in our hometown.

After coming here for more than ten days, after the fresh energy, the little fourth is homesick, and also misses those little friends in the village.

In fact, not only the fourth child, Liu Qingshan also nodded when he saw his grandparents, mother, and eldest sister.

Although the capital is prosperous, for them, it is still the small mountain village of Jiapigou, which is more difficult to give up, because that is their roots.
