Siheyuan: Reborn in 59 years of famine, with a wife and daughter

Li Yueling thought about it and said with some concern: "But Qiye, we have offended many people in the compound. Now everyone is watching us. If we take this meat to sell on the black market, will someone with bad intentions report us?"

Lin Qiye thought for a moment and said, "Wife, you are right to be cautious. Let's go through the formal sales channels."

"Formal sales channels?"

Li Yueling was a little confused when she heard this. After all, they didn't know anyone, so how could they sell their products through formal channels?

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Just leave it to me. I'm going out for a while. You can take Beibei home to play."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye cut a piece of wild boar meat at home, which weighed about five or six pounds, then wrapped it in newspaper, put it in a black cloth bag, and took it out.

Li Yueling said, "Hey, Qiye, what are you going to do with this meat?"

Li Yueling thought her husband was going to take the risk of going to the black market, and she didn't want her husband to take that risk.

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to the black market. I'll think of a way. These days, it's hard to buy meat, but it's not easy to sell meat. Just wait for good news when I come back."

Li Yueling said: "Then come back early, I will cook and wait for you at home."

"it is good."

Afterwards, Lin Qiye strode out of Compound No. 95.

The direction Lin Qiye left was not somewhere else but the direction of Hongxing Neighborhood Committee.

Arriving at the neighborhood committee yard, Lin Qiye looked at the director's office. The light was still on, so Director Wang should not have gotten off work yet.

Lin Qiye arrived at Director Wang's office door and knocked politely.

Director Wang was wondering, it was almost time to get off work, she was about to leave, but all the other comrades from the neighborhood committee had already left, so who could this be?

Director Wang opened the door and was a little surprised to see Lin Qiye.

"Lin Qiye?"

"Hey, Director Wang, it's me. I want to see you about something."

As he spoke, Lin Qiye took out the piece of wild boar meat wrapped in newspaper from the bag.

Director Wang took one look and said, "Pork?"

"No, Director Wang, this is wild boar meat. I caught it today."

"Didn't I remember you just killed one yesterday, and you killed another one today?"

"Yeah, I'm a bit lucky."

"But you... why are you bringing wild boar meat to me? We have rules in our organization and we can't just accept gifts from others."

Lin Qiye thought to himself, bullshit for not accepting gifts. No one in any era would dislike people who know how to deal with things.

If you want to find someone to do something for you, can you get it done without bringing a gift?

This kind of thing is beyond the responsibility of the neighborhood committee, it would be strange if they could help.

I have no relationship with them.

"Hey, Director Wang, this is not a gift. I just want you to try it and see how it tastes. If it's okay, I can help you find a sales channel."

Lin Qiye stated the purpose of his trip in one sentence and also put the price of the other party's help on the table.

Lin Qiye didn't want to be sour. If the other party was willing to help, he would help. If not, then forget it. This was originally a deal.

Anyway, there is no one else in the neighborhood committee now.

"This...you want to sell wild boar meat to our neighborhood committee cafeteria? But the neighborhood committee only has about 20 people, and the daily demand is limited. They can't consume all the wild boar meat from you."

But Lin Qiye shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, Director Wang, I don't want to sell it to you, I want to sell it to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but I don't know anyone there, and then I won't even be able to enter the factory gate, and I will be driven out by the security department.

Director Wang, I don't ask you to do me a big favor. I just want you to let me enter the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and meet the director of the purchasing department. Then, whether I can sell the wild boar meat will be my business.

If you don't help me, you'll be forcing me into the black market, which will force me to break the law."

Looking at the wild boar meat in front of him, Director Wang's mood indeed improved a lot.

"Your words sound like a threat to me, but they are true. How about this, in order not to force you to the black market, you come to the neighborhood committee tomorrow morning, and then I will find someone to take you to the purchasing department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

"Okay, thank you Director Wang. This wild boar meat is most delicious when braised in red sauce."

Having said that, Lin Qiye left the wild boar meat and walked out of Director Wang’s office.

Director Wang couldn't help but dig into the wild boar meat that Lin Qiye had placed on the table. It was not bad. Although there were some bones, there was still a lot of meat.

It should be the part near the front leg. For the sake of the meat, Wang Lan thought that this matter must be done for Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye returned home, and Li Yueling asked curiously.

"Qiya, where on earth have you been?"

Lin Qiye smiled and said, "I went to the neighborhood committee and gave the meat to Director Wang to taste, and then asked him to help us find a market for it."

When Li Yueling heard this, she knew that her husband was going to find someone to do something, but she couldn't help but admire her husband for being so capable.

Li Yueling also knew that since the other party accepted the gift, the matter was settled.

Li Yueling smiled and said, "Director Wang, can you really help us find a market to sell this wild boar?

If that's the case, then the price we can sell it for will be much better than on the black market, and we don't have to worry too much."

Lin Qiye shook his head and said, "I'm not asking her to help me find a market. I just want her to introduce me to the director of the purchasing department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I'll negotiate the deal then."

After hearing this, Li Yueling's eyes dimmed and she said, "Is that so? But the Red Star Steel Mill has fixed purchasing resources. If you go and negotiate on your own, I'm worried that they will ignore us."

Lin Qiye gently hugged Li Yueling and said, "Don't worry, my wife, I am eloquent and I am afraid that I can't convince the purchasing department of the Red Star Steel Mill.

And haven’t you noticed that the purchase restrictions on pork and grain are becoming more and more severe. People in the city may not feel it yet, but many people in rural areas have already started to go hungry.

And I am sure that this situation will only get worse, and in the future even if you have money you may not be able to buy food and meat."

"Is it that serious?" Li Yueling looked at Lin Qiye suspiciously.

"Of course, due to the steel production campaign in the past two years, many crops have been abandoned. Plus, there is a drought right now. Wife, just wait and see. A great famine is about to happen. But don't worry, I will keep you and Xiao Beibei well fed and clothed. You will never go hungry."

Li Yueling was so frightened that she quickly covered Lin Qiye's mouth and said, "Qiye, don't dare say that. If someone hears us and sues us, we will become saboteurs that hinder the development of society."

Lin Qiye took Li Yueling's hand away and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I'm just analyzing the truth for you. I'm too lazy to tell others. Let them get carried away and do stupid things."

As a person from later generations, Lin Qiye knew that the country was progressing in a good direction, but it was normal to encounter some pitfalls while trying to venture into the world.

However, as a person from later generations, Lin Qiye knew it was a trap, so there was no need for him to step into it.

Li Yueling looked at her husband's serious expression. Although she thought it was a bit exaggerated, she still believed it a little.

After all, there are traces of this matter. Now every family’s monthly ration of food and meat coupons is beginning to decrease.

Li Yueling said worriedly, "Qiye, since a famine is coming, we won't sell our wild boar meat anymore. We can just make it into bacon. Even if we eat rotten meat, it will be better than starving to death."

Lin Qiye touched the other person's hair and said, "Don't worry, wife, I will hunt again after you sell them. Even if I can't buy food and meat, I can hunt for you to eat. If you don't allow me to buy and sell, then I can't hunt for myself to eat.

Don't worry, you have seen your husband's hunting skills in the past two days. I can't let you and Beibei starve to death."
