I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

During the day, Guan Huang was driving, and Cao Dongfang was sitting in the passenger seat looking at the scenery outside. The road was in worse condition at that time, and it could be considered a rather dilapidated national highway.

“In the east, the road conditions from Sijiucheng to the south and to the northeast are better, but the road to the northwest is very bad.

Most of our missions are to deliver steel to the northeast and this area, and we rarely go to the northwest. "Guan Huang said.

"The current road condition is not good, but it will be better in the future. The country is currently building regular highways between major cities. Aren't we also building roads in our old city?" Cao Dongfang said.

"It will get better slowly. Look outside and remember the road. It won't work if the driver doesn't know the way.

One of our factory workers was trapped and died in the northwest, in a desert where he didn’t know the way around. "Guan Huang said.

"OK."

When Cao Dongfang looked at the land of Beihe Province in 1956, he felt it was desolate, with few plants and the population between cities was not as large as in later generations.

While watching, let the system remember the coordinates and terrain of the places you have passed, so you will not get lost when driving next time. Experienced drivers will be laughed to death if they get lost.

Along the way, Cao Dongfang was getting familiar with the road, looking at the surrounding scenery, and talking to Guan Huang when no one was around, learning some necessary knowledge about driving a long-distance bus.

This is not the time of later generations, when expressways and national highways are everywhere.

There are many small roads, and drivers who are not familiar with them will get lost because there is no straight road and they need to go from one place to another.

These need to be remembered. It doesn't mean you have to have good driving skills. Drivers nowadays are better than drivers in later generations. There is no navigation, and they have to rely on their brains to remember the way.

......

At 12 noon, they stopped the car to eat at the edge of a small town. Only then did Guan Huang realize that Cao Dongfang had a high standard of living. He sold white flour buns, roast chicken, and braised beef.

Cao Dongfang was just driving out, and some meals like soups were difficult to bring, and they were hard to heat up if bought, so he only brought cold dishes, otherwise he would have even brought Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

He called Uncle Bao, Uncle Yu, and Uncle Jiang to eat together. The lunch box was full of food. Cao Dongfang's lunch box was much bigger than the normal one.

After eating, we set off.

"Dongfang, you can bring noodles and other things in winter. The convoy has stoves for making fires, so you can cook and heat meals. This time the distance is not far, and it is summer, so we didn't bring a stove." Guan Huang said.

"This is good. I can eat warm food, which is better than cold food. In winter, I will bring some noodles and cook for myself. I am good at cooking!" said Cao Dongfang.

“Your food is so good that others will be jealous of you, you need to be careful about this.

Why not go back and drive your car, go hunting, and make bacon to eat, and no one will say anything." Guan Huang said.

"That's fine. It's just a matter of two pigs. We'll just have to try our luck. Hunting isn't difficult if we have a car," said Cao Dongfang.

"I'll go back to the factory and tell them that the drivers' salaries are not low, and they all want to make some bacon to eat during the winter. Everyone also likes the energy," said Guan Huang.

"It's important to eat comfortably when you're away from home," said Cao Dongfang.

......

"This time we saved nearly 3 kilograms of national food coupons, which can be exchanged for some things." Guan Huang said.

"National food coupons have no expiration date, so you can keep them if you can. Next year, the country will have more items entering the coupon period, and national food coupons contain oil," said Cao Dongfang.

"Also, how is the national economy?" Guan Huang asked.

"The economy is OK, but the country is overpopulated, and ordinary people have to use coupons to buy all the seven necessities of life plus cloth. Each person uses a small amount, but it is not completely gone.

This is a consideration of the country. The ration of grain and oil may be reduced, but this is not certain. "Cao Dongfang said.

"You are well-informed. The seven things to do when opening a business are no small matter. They are very important to us. We need to save some of them." Guan Huang said. "You have saved them all."

"No, there is still time before the policy is released next year. At the same time, I have state subsidies. I have a military position in the country because of my high martial arts skills!" Cao Dongfang said.

"You have a military position!" Guan Huang, who was driving, almost drove off the road. Fortunately, there was no one in front, otherwise there would have been a car accident.

"Yes, after the Chinese New Year in 1954, I went to Wei's home. After he knew that I was a master of Hua Jin, he asked me to join the army.

At that time I received a government subsidy which was quite high, so now I don’t lack any material things.

If you and Bao Shu need anything, you can come to me, including guns and ammunition. "Cao Dongfang said.

"Okay! It's good that you have something. The country has compensated you martial artists a lot!" Guan Huang said with a smile.

“There aren’t many people, and they are all ranked in the top ten in the country. If we don’t take action, they will be invincible in the downtown area, even without heavy weapons.

Grandmasters are not that easy to kill, at least ordinary guns are useless." Cao Dongfang said.

"So scary!" Guan Huang was a little surprised.

“That day when we were hunting, my uncle Guan saw my speed. You can’t aim at this kind of people, how can you kill them.

Moreover, martial arts are indestructible, except for speed! Just this point, ordinary people can't do anything about it. "Cao Dongfang said.

"I see. How can you fight when you can't see anyone? No wonder you are valued by the country."

Guan Huang figured it out. Cao Dongfang was so fast that day that he couldn't even see his shadow. "You have made progress, and your father will be happy too."

"There are actually great benefits to the country buying us off. Once society is stable, they can also use us for external purposes. If we really start a war, we can flatten half of the city. The destructive power will be enormous," said Cao Dongfang.

“That’s right, anyone who can do anything well is a capable person.” Guan Huang said with emotion.

“Tell Uncle Guan that if the country’s economy is bad, tell me if there is anything you need at home.

Don’t buy expensive items from outside. I know a lot of people, from the Grain Bureau to the Police Station to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. "Cao Dongfang said.

"I understand. I told Lao Bao and the others that I would come to you if I had any questions, but they are not allowed to spread the news.

We are also happy that you have made great progress and now have someone to back you up. No wonder Secretary Wang agreed so quickly when we told him about you," Guan Huang said with a smile.

"They are all smart people!"

......

At around six in the afternoon, after dinner, Cao Dongfang came to drive and was the last one to set off.

Guan Huang looked at it for a few minutes and then stopped looking. The car was driving steadily and the distance between it and the car in front was just right, so he could rest assured.

Cao Dongfang is young and has martial arts skills, so driving for 13 hours is no problem for him.

I arrived at the delivery location at almost 7 o'clock the next morning, and entered the factory warehouse after the security guard at the opposite door checked my documents and the items in the truck.

The other party began to arrange people to unload the goods.

Uncle Yu began to ask among the 60 drivers who came, "Do you want Maojian here? If you want, please come and register the variety and quantity. How much Dongfang do you want?"

"Five kilograms of the best!" said Cao Dongfang.

"You can go back to the factory to pay and get the goods." Uncle Yu said.

"become!"

"Several trucks will unload the goods soon. You buy the tea, and Lao Bao and I will go find some goods to take back." Uncle Guan said.

"clear!"

Cao Dongfang heard it but didn't say anything. They were all experienced people who knew everything. It wasn't their first time here, nor was it their first time to make extra money. They were very familiar with this and had come here four times a year.

......

"Is five catties of Dongfang premium Maojian enough? The price here is very low, one-third of that in Sijiucheng. You can buy more.

Some people in the convoy buy dozens of kilograms at a time. The best Maojian tea here costs less than 3 yuan. "Guan Huang asked in a low voice.

"No need, Uncle Guan. I'm giving this to someone. I usually like West Lake Longjing and Dongting Lake Biluochun." Cao Dongfang said.

"It's enough for you to know about this. You decide how much. I'm bringing back 100 kilograms. Many people in the factory want them.

Go back and add one more pound for one yuan. There is too little good tea and it is expensive. "Guan Huang said.

Cao Dongfang nodded, "Uncle Yu is going out to collect tea. Is it safe? Do you want me to accompany them?"

“No, they are all old customers. We have done business with each other more than a dozen times. We all know each other. The tea is kept for private use.

Sell ​​it to us at a better price! It’s money that truly belongs to them.” Guan Huang said.

After hearing this, Cao Dongfang stopped talking. It turned out that having an old trading partner over time would benefit everyone.

When tea is sold to the state, the tea farmers can actually get very little money as there are a lot of taxes, payments for goods, etc. It would be better for them to sell it quietly.

This is a difficult matter for the country to deal with. Taxation is a major national tax, especially agricultural tax. Agricultural tax is small, but more important. At present, my country is still a major agricultural country rather than an industrial country.

It was rather troublesome to transport the steel, but the unloading was quick. After a while, all the steel on the ten trucks was unloaded. Guan Huang made some arrangements and went to see if there was any cargo that could be transported to the direction of Sijiu City.

They charge less for freight, just because they don't want to run empty trucks and make a little money. There are always many smart people at all times.

Even though it is now a public-private partnership, the income will increase due to lower freight charges. That is what it is. It is a political achievement. Everyone understands this.

Uncle Yu is back with goods from three manufacturers. He brought back at least 2,000 kilograms of tea, filling up a whole car, and returned to the old city!
