Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

The hungrier a person is, the more he can't stand the smell of food. At this time, even if you give him a pile of dog shit, he might eat it.

For example, when you eat noodles to fill your stomach, the hungrier you are, the more noodles you may order, even far exceeding your rice appetite.

For example, when you watch a food show, you are not hungry and your stomach is full, but you will feel hungry as you watch. The most common comment in the comment section is “I feel hungry after watching this”.

This is the situation along the Yongding River now. As the aroma of grilled fish comes out, everyone is hungry. Some of them have just eaten steamed corn bread or wild vegetable dumplings, but they are still hungry.

"Uncle, take a break and come over for dinner." Zeng Wangcai sprinkled seasoning on the grilled fish and shouted to Old Man Liu who was still fishing not far away.

Old man Liu sniffed and said, "No, I brought some dry food. You guys can eat it. I already ate you last time, so I can't eat your food again this time."

"It's just a fish, there's a lot more, it's not worth much. Come on, don't be polite. If you don't eat it, Brother Zheng will feel embarrassed to eat it too." Zeng Wangcai greeted again.

"It's just one fish. It's obviously two. That's easy to say." Fatty Zheng muttered, "That's it. Just over twenty pounds of fish, plus the two pheasants buried in the ground, it's equivalent to a week's salary for me."

Fat Zheng was really hungry. Even though his salary was not low and he was considered a cadre of medium status, he had never thought of eating like this from the bottom of his heart.

It's too extravagant, using fish as the staple food. Who dares to do that these days?

After swallowing his saliva, Fat Zheng didn't dare to move, even though his stomach was growling with hunger. He wouldn't dare to move unless Old Man Liu went.

"Hey, let's go and eat. I'm risking my old face, let's go eat." Old Man Liu heard Fatty Zheng's stomach growling and sighed, "But you can't just focus on eating. Ask Wangcai what he wants and what he needs, and then talk about how many fish to buy from him. After that, report to your leader and do your best to satisfy him."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Fat Zheng hurriedly stood up.

When the two of them went over, the big fish that Zeng Wangcai was grilling had already turned a brown color. Next to it was a five or six pound fish that had been marinated with seasoning and was placed on a lotus leaf, but had not yet been grilled.

Seeing this pit, Old Man Liu wanted to smile bitterly again. It turns out that you guys are really prepared and the pit was dug just right.

"Uncle, Brother Zheng, please sit down first. It will be ready soon."

"It smells so good. I've never eaten fish like this in my life."

Fatty Zheng waited for Old Man Liu to sit on the rock before he sat down with emotion. Seeing that the fish were not yet ready, he started the topic of purchasing: "Comrade Wangcai, you probably caught more than 300 kilograms of fish this morning. Can we purchase 200 kilograms from Peking University?"

There are more than 300 kilograms, and he wanted 200 kilograms. He was worried that it was too much because he didn't know that Zeng Wangcai would not be able to catch any fish in the afternoon, and he was not sure whether Zeng Wangcai could still catch so many fish in the afternoon.

Old Liu knew it clearly, but he didn't say anything to avoid affecting Zeng Wangcai's wealth. He knew that after he stopped at the steel mill and saw Zeng Wangcai, Zeng Wangcai would definitely guess his identity a little with his cleverness.

It is not a good idea to speak at this time, as it can easily put you in a situation where you are putting pressure on yourself.

Zeng Wangcai took out the unfinished steamed buns, stuck them with branches and put them by the fire to roast. After thinking for a while, he said, "According to this progress, we should be able to harvest 600 kilograms of fish today. To be honest, we have people in the countryside, so we will probably send kilograms back and keep some for ourselves. If you want kilograms, that's enough. I'll sell less to the purchasing station."

600 jin? Do you use arithmetic to calculate fishing? Do you think you are the Dragon King...

This thought flashed through his mind, and Fatty Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you very much."

Some things naturally cannot be said, but now there are more than 300 kilograms of fish, so only 200 kilograms can be taken out.

After thanking him, Fatty Zheng said, "Comrade Wangcai, don't worry about the purchase price. It won't be lower than the purchasing station. I'll go back and discuss with the leader to see what price I can give you."

"Okay, that's easy." Zeng Wangcai said generously, "You can take the fish away in a while. There's no scale here. You can go back and weigh it and then settle the bill. Do you think it's better for me to come to you or for you to come to me?"

"I'm here to find you, how can I let you run away?" Fatty Zheng was even happier when he heard this. He didn't have to stay here to bask in the sun. How nice! "There's another question. We can give you a reward. See what you want. It's hard to find meat now. I'll talk to our leader and try to satisfy you. Food coupons and cloth coupons will do."

This is what Zeng Wangcai was waiting for.

He has been thinking about the bicycle. To be honest, there are six people in the small group now, not to mention Lin Huyang and Huang Liang. One of them has a car at home and the other is about to go to college, so they will not continue to play wild in the small team.

Among the remaining four people, at least three need bicycles, otherwise it will be too troublesome to travel.

Zeng Wangcai calculated it this way: he would keep one bike for himself, riding it in the city when he had nothing to do, and riding an electric scooter when there was no one around. He would give one of the remaining two bikes to Zhang Xiuzhi, and then one to Xiaohu and Xiaobao.

With bicycles, it is much more convenient for them to travel, as they don't have to walk for hours. It is also convenient to have a bicycle for hunting. The 28-inch long bar can be ridden, laid down, or pulled, and is suitable for use in various postures.

"We are short of cloth coupons and food coupons." Zeng Wangcai did not say that he was not short of food coupons or anything like that. These days, everyone is short of them. "But right now, what we need most is bicycle tickets. We go fishing and hunting everywhere, and it's too inconvenient without bicycles..."

"You also hunt?" Old man Liu couldn't help but interrupt. It turns out you are all-rounders.

“Uncle, what you said…” Zeng Wangcai said with a smile, “The previous generation of our family were farmers. There are mountains and water in the village. There are wild boars, pheasants and badgers on the mountains. These are all meat. If we don’t kill them, they will harm people?

"Especially wild boars and badgers. They are very harmful to people and crops..."

Needless to say, wild boars are very common. Badger is a general term. The most common ones here are dog badgers and wild hog badgers. An adult badger can grow to twenty kilograms. It is an omnivorous animal that likes to eat roots and rhizomes, which is very similar to wild boars.

But compared to wild boars, badgers are tastier and their habits are different. Badgers are active at night and hide during the day. They are stealthy and good at digging holes (real holes, not a joke). If you are not careful, they dig under the crops and steal all your peanuts.

"You guys shot the pheasants, right?" Old Man Liu nodded. "It's good to be able to hunt now. It can also protect the crops. Wangcai, you have a very flexible mind."

Fat Zheng was tempted. He preferred meat to fish. "Comrade Wangcai, if you kill pheasants or badgers in the future, can you give us some?"

Wow, just now it was called purchasing, and now the word is used.

"What? You don't want wild boars, but only badgers and pheasants?" Zeng Bao was anxious, because pheasants and badgers were difficult for him to hunt, and their family mainly relied on his father to set traps to catch them.

The two brothers were not good at shooting. Pheasants were small and difficult to hit, and were not as big as wild boars. As long as they were brave enough, they would be able to kill the wild boar.

"Yes, of course. But wild boars are hard to kill. They have thick skin and tough flesh..."

"Why is it difficult to fight? It's very easy to fight." Zeng Hu got excited in a second. He also wanted a bicycle. He pointed at his eldest brother and said excitedly, "My eldest brother killed a wild boar by himself. It weighed more than 400 kilograms..."

"puff!"

You are really a versatile person...
