Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Uncle Xiao asked Chen Changan, "Young man Chen, just tell me what you want. I'll promise you on behalf of Director Huang that as long as your idea is feasible and effective, you deserve a small reward."

After hearing what Uncle Xiao said, Director Huang finally realized that he had been deceived by Chen Changan's usual appearance.

When I first met Chen Changan, I just said I wanted to buy fish, but was rejected. Even though I had good fishing skills and could catch a lot of fish every time, I was lazy and only fished a few days a week. I thought Chen Changan didn't care about money and wasn't greedy. Now it seems that I was deceived.

I am still young, and I trust people too easily. I have only known him for a short time, and I was deceived by Chen Changan's appearance. I am also stupid. How can there be people who are not short of money in this day and age?

Director Huang reacted and said quickly, "Yes, yes, Changan, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. Even if your ideas are not very useful, you have helped me so many times, so I have to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, he took out cigarettes and lit them for Chen Changan and Uncle Xiao.

At this time, it was Chen Changan who felt embarrassed. After all, he seemed to be threatening the other party, but the other party was very frank.

Chen Changan said embarrassedly, "I don't really have any requirements. I'm just bored at home. I want to listen to crosstalk or Peking opera to kill time."

After hearing Chen Changan's request, Mr. Xiao and Director Huang looked at each other in bewilderment. How old is Chen Changan? Is he ready to start his retirement life? Is he just sitting at home and listening to the radio?

Director Huang learned his lesson this time and quickly said, "Changan, you are not short of money, you are short of tickets, right? That's easy. I'll bring them to you tomorrow. Is that okay?"

Chen Changan then agreed somewhat embarrassedly. Then he said, "In fact, there are still several ways to solve the problem of fish supply in our Sijiu City."

Chen Changan organized his words and said, "The first point is to be self-reliant. There are many water bodies near our city. For example, the Yongding River, the Beihai Sea, and the reservoir here. There are naturally formed large pits nearby. Our aquatic company can introduce some fish fry, contact professors from universities who study aquatic products, cooperate with them, and feed them with scientific breeding methods. Different water bodies may require different breeding methods and farmed fish. When the time comes, the university professors will provide guidance, and you can contribute manpower and manpower. In this way, in a few years, you will have as many fish as you want."

Chen Changan took a puff of cigarette and waited for Director Huang to digest what he meant.

After thinking about the feasibility, Director Huang nodded slightly and said, "This method is good. We can first find a professor in this field and talk to our leaders about this plan. But distant water cannot quench a nearby fire. Is there any other way to save the emergency?"

Chen Changan said calmly, "Yes, the simplest one is carp."

"Carp?" Director Huang and Mr. Xiao were both surprised. Where could they get so many carps?

Chen Changan said helplessly, "Wait for me to finish. The water systems in the south and the north are different. In the south, almost no one is willing to eat carp. In the north, it is different. Carp, especially wild carp from the Yellow River, tastes delicious and has high nutritional value."

Taking a puff of cigarette, Chen Changan continued, "It is definitely unrealistic to rely on wild fish to supply Sijiu City, but I heard that many places in the northern Hetao region use lakes to breed wild Yellow River carp. And there are quite a lot of them. You can go and ask around first. Then use special trains to transport some to Sijiu City every day."

Director Huang then asked about the specific places. Chen Changan didn't know much about these, but he had learned some of them. He didn't understand the production and breeding methods, but he knew the places.

Director Huang thought that Chen Changan's idea had come to an end, but he heard Chen Changan continue, "In fact, there is another kind of fish that can also be supplied to Sijiu City. It's just that not many people know about this kind of fish, so people need to slowly accept it. But there is a way, it just takes time."

Director Huang quickly said, "As long as it's not poisonous and it's meat, I don't believe it. Even if I haven't seen it, I won't eat it?"

Looking at the expectant eyes of Director Huang and Mr. Xiao, Chen Changan continued, "That's hairtail."

"Hairtail? What kind of fish is that?" Seeing that Director Huang and Grandpa Xiao were both confused, Chen Changan continued, "Hairtail, also known as knife fish, is considered a marine fish. It is distributed along the coast of our country, and the yield is very high. They all live in groups. Find an old fisherman along the coast. They basically know the activity patterns of these fish, and they can get a lot of fish with one net. Moreover, these fish are delicious, have high nutritional value, and most importantly, have a good yield."

Seeing the obvious disbelief on Director Huang and Uncle Xiao's faces, Chen Changan said, "In fact, there are many in Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the southern Zhoushan area. The locals know about them. Just ask someone."

Director Huang actually believed what Chen Changan said. If he didn't know, he wouldn't be able to tell such detailed information. He continued to ask, "We haven't heard much about this hairtail fish. If we ship too little, there will be no effect. If we ship too much, what if it runs out of stock?"

Chen Changan smiled and said, "This is simple. The recipe is already available locally. If you want to improve it or make it suitable for the taste of our city, you can find a few chefs from state-owned restaurants and improve it. Or if the chefs already have the cooking method, you can directly supply it to the restaurant, and they can also get more signature dishes. Secondly, put it in the newspaper and introduce the cooking method and nutritional value of hairtail. If it tastes good, there is no need to worry about no one buying it."

Then Chen Changan leaned close to Director Huang's ear and continued, "During the New Year and other holidays, each factory, such as our steel rolling mill, also needs to provide benefits to the workers. All these materials are planned. How difficult it is to deal with them. If you can supply them at a low price, how many factory leaders will ask to come to you?"

Director Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he was talking to Director Huang alone, Uncle Xiao who was standing next to him still heard it. Seeing Director Huang actively whispering to Chen Changan again, Uncle Xiao didn't care.

Who doesn't have his own little thoughts? As long as he doesn't violate discipline, he won't care too much. After all, it's the deeds that count, not the heart. As long as he has done practical and good things for the country and the people, the country and the people should be grateful to him.

At this time, Chen Changan said to Director Huang, "What do you think? Old Huang, if you pay for my idea with a radio ticket, it's not a loss, right?"

Seeing that Chen Changan's cigarette was almost finished, Director Huang immediately handed him another cigarette and said, "Not a loss, not a loss. How about I go back now and have someone send you the ticket? I'll leave first?"

Chen Changan was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"How can I not be anxious? The time is tight and the task is heavy, and the pressure is all on me. I didn't have any other options but to wait here for you. Now that I have a solution, how can I not take action?" said Director Huang.

Chen Changan said, "Okay, Director Huang, please go ahead and do your thing. I just need your help with something."

"Tell me what it is, I will help if I can."

"When you deliver the hairtail, let me know first, and I'll order some from you on behalf of the steel mill. As for the quantity, I may need to inform our leader first."

Director Huang was already impatient at this time, and hurriedly said, "These are all small matters, and they are easy to deal with. I will contact them first. I will tell you when I have news. Changan, I am a little anxious, so I will leave first. When things are done, you will definitely benefit from it."
