Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

At around 2 p.m., Liu Haosheng and Zhang Renjia were already dizzy from drinking. The drunk Liu Haosheng even held Zhang Renkang's thumbs up and stammered:

"Brother, you have a good alcohol tolerance. I admire you. Let's have a good competition next time."

Zhang Renkang smiled and handed Liu Haosheng to an older woman and two militiamen who were about 17 or 18 years old. He took them to rest, then carried Zhang Renjia to a dormitory on the side of the brigade. They definitely couldn't go back tonight. Before dinner, Liu Haosheng arranged a place for them to stay in two dormitories at the brigade headquarters.

He threw him on the bed and asked a young man to help look after Zhang Renjia. Zhang Renkang went out and followed Li Haitao into the jeep. Li Haitao drove towards the Miyun Reservoir. At noon, Liu Haosheng and Zhang Renjia drank the most. The commune had other things to do during the day. Li Haitao, Wang Fugui and Li Fan just drank a few bowls of wine with them. There was nothing else to do.

Anyway, no one checks drunk driving these days. The wide dirt road is not easy to drive on but it is still smooth. On the way, Li Haitao said with a smile

"Brother, you really can't judge a person by his appearance. I didn't expect you to be able to drink so much. What we drink is pure grain wine brewed by the village community. Although the alcohol content is not high, the aftereffect is not small."

"I see that you are fine."

Zhang Renkang smiled. Apart from the three bowls of wine he had toasted with, he had already poured the wine from his throat into the space. Liu Haosheng and the others really drank but they were not drunk. Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Brother Li, you are not bad. I see you have drunk five or six bowls of wine, and you can still drive steadily."

Li Haitao said with a smile

"I'm a car soldier in the army, so driving a car is a piece of cake."

About two hours later, Li Haitao and Zhang Renkang had already arrived at Xiwengzhuang Commune. Li Haitao was a frequent visitor here, and the villagers all knew him as the secretary's son-in-law, so when the militia saw that it was Li Haitao, they let them into the village.

Li Haitao drove Zhang Renkang to the dam of the reservoir first, and looked at the magnificent Miyun Reservoir of more than 100 square kilometers slowly spreading out surrounded by mountains. The cold wind in March made the lake surface surging. The Chaohe River and the Baihe River extended into the mountains like two jade belts, like two arms grasping the Yanshan Mountains.

Seeing the strange jeep, a team of soldiers on patrol duty ran over to check the situation. Miyun Reservoir is the largest water source of the city, and it cannot tolerate some scoundrels destroying it. Once the reservoir is destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people along the road and the city will be flooded.

A company of soldiers is stationed here all year round, one is for early warning of Yanshan, the other is to protect the reservoir from being destroyed by spies. Although the country has been established for more than ten years, they still airdrop agents to the mainland every year.

There were not only five or six soldiers running over, but also several militiamen. As soon as they approached Li Haitao, they smiled and said

"Qian Fengshou, you have joined the militia."

Everyone realized it was Li Haitao and lowered their guns. The soldier was still a little wary when he saw Li Haitao and asked:

"Which unit are you two from? Who asked you to come up here?"

The militiaman named Qian Fengshou explained

"Captain Qin, this is our secretary's son-in-law, and he is also from Xiweng Village."

After hearing Qian Fengshou's words, the patrolling soldier relaxed his vigilance a little and asked again

"What are you doing at the reservoir?"

Zhang Renkang quickly stepped forward and said

"We are here to discuss something with the secretary of Xiweng Village."

Qian Fengshou on the side said

"The secretary is at the breeding area. Let me take you to see him."

Li Haitao said with a smile

"Okay, let's go talk to my father-in-law."

As he said that, he got in the car with Zhang Renkang and Qian Fengshou and drove to the bottom of the dam, and went to the side and rear to look for the secretary. The soldiers did not feel at ease to continue patrolling until they saw them getting down from the reservoir. It was not that they were too nervous. They would be nervous for a long time when seeing any stranger approaching the dam. Three years ago, a group of spies wanted to blow up the dam. They were able to get hundreds of kilograms of explosives. If they hadn't been unable to find them, a big mistake would have been made.

After meeting Wei Dashan, the secretary of Xiwengzhuang Commune, Li Haitao introduced him with a smile:

"Dad, this is our secretary's comrade's younger brother, the logistics director of the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill, Zhang Renkang. This time he came to see if the village has any unplanned meat. Their factory plans to purchase some."

Then Li Haitao leaned over and whispered

"Can be traded for cloth"

Wei Dashan's eyes lit up when he heard the word "cloth". Cloth was a good thing in those days. In the countryside, getting twenty feet of cloth for a wife was a huge gift. It was no problem to bring back a new wife. At the very least, it was an equivalent to something that could be exchanged with other villagers.

Wei Dashan looked at Qian Fengshou and others around him and said

"A good harvest! Take your men to collect the nets and see what the seedlings look like. I want to talk to this young comrade."

Qian Fengshou nodded and led a few villagers to the shore. Wei Dashan led Li Haitao and Zhang Renkang to the village and stopped under a big willow tree. Wei Dashan smiled and said

"Comrade, let me be frank with you. Is it true that you can get the cloth? How much can you give?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and said softly

"We are currently short of 500 kilograms of meat every month. If our village can provide that, we can settle half of the transaction with cloth."

Wei Dashan asked doubtfully

"As far as I know, you are from the heavy industry department, right? The light industry departments like textile factories are not the same as you. How did you get so much cloth?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Brother Li knows that the secretary of the textile factory is a comrade-in-arms with my brother and their secretary. They are from the same unit."

Li Haitao nodded and said

"Our secretary said yes"

Wei Dashan nodded and said

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have reached an agreement with Tongjunzhuang Commune. They must give you at least one pig and even a lot of chickens and ducks every month. Even if you are comrades, how can you get so much cloth?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Of course not. Even if they are comrades-in-arms, it would be generous of them to squeeze out a few hundred or three hundred yuan of cloth for them."

"But what if he is the brother-in-law of our factory director?"

"More than 20,000 workers in our steel mill ordered some work clothes from him. Is it normal that a lot of cotton cloth is left over?"

Wei Dashan laughed and said

"Yes, more than a thousand meters of cloth produced by 20,000 workers is not much, okay."

"Our commune can provide you with 400 kilograms of fish every month. Most of them are large carp, grass carp and catfish weighing at least three kilograms. In addition, we can provide you with 40 chickens and ducks."

"The chickens and ducks in our Xiweng Village are raised by eating small fish fry. They are not comparable to those in Tongjun Village. Each one weighs at least 7 or 8 kilograms."

Zhang Renkang quickly calculated in his mind that 400 kilograms of fish would have at least 200 kilograms of meat. Although fish meat was a little less than pork, it was still meat. Forty chickens and ducks weighing 70 to 80 kilograms would have 140 to 50 kilograms of meat. In this way, he had basically completed the task requirement of 2,000 kilograms. Then Zhang Renkang smiled and said,

"Secretary Wei, our village has chickens and ducks, so we have eggs, right? Why don't you provide us with some?"

Wei Dashan laughed

"That's no problem, but it will be difficult for you to transport it back to Sijiu City. It will be at least half broken due to the bumpy ride back. We won't be responsible for it by then."

Zhang Renkang laughed and said

"Don't worry, it's definitely not your fault."

Zhang Renkang already had a way to get the eggs back. This kind of transaction would require at least three or four trucks and two jeeps as escort. He would then imitate the egg trays in supermarkets and make small pits. He would then get cotton cloth from Zhao Jianjun to separate them. At least no more than one-tenth of the eggs would be broken.

Zhang Renkang calculated and said

"Fish is now 280 cents per pound in the market, so 320 kilograms costs yuan. Chicken and duck are priced at one yuan per pound, so the price is to yuan."

“How many eggs can you provide us?”

Wei Dashan calculated and said

"How about three thousand a month?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and smiled

"Okay, at 240 cents a piece, 850 yuan, a total of about yuan, how about we take yuan and meters of cotton cloth in exchange?"

Wei Dashan calculated for a long time and felt that the price was reasonable. Moreover, their commune had taken advantage of a lot of bargains. Just 300 meters of cloth would cost them 700 yuan at the market. At the end of last year, one person in their village spent 3.8 yuan to buy 1.2 meters of cloth at the market. It was really because cloth was in short supply in the countryside.

After discussing the transaction amount and content, Zhang Renkang declined Wei Dashan's offer to stay overnight and have a meal, explaining

"Secretary Wei, I have to go back to Tongjunzhuang. My brother is still sleeping there. I will rush back to Sijiucheng early tomorrow morning to sign a supply agreement for our cooperation. Let's drink together then."

Wei Dashan felt embarrassed to force Zhang Renkang to stay after hearing what he said, so he smiled and said

"It's getting late. Be careful when you go back. There are many wolves and big beasts coming down the mountain now. How about I ask a few militiamen to accompany you back?"

Li Haitao laughed

"Dad, have you forgotten that I am from the car team? Even a plane can't catch up with my driving skills. Let's go back first."

(In case people don’t understand, “can’t catch up” means we can’t bomb him. We have a lot of excellent drivers on the peninsula, and our planes can’t hit them even if they stick to them and strafe them.)

The two of them went back to the car and waved to Qian Fengshou from a distance. Li Haitao stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Miyun.
