I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

On December 58, 12, Cao Dongfang went out hunting. When he returned to the factory and went to the logistics department to deliver meat, he ran into Liu Haizhong, who had only been working for half a month.

People of this generation don't eat very well, but it seems that broken hands and legs recover pretty quickly. Liu Hai was able to go back to work normally for two months after breaking his leg. I heard that it didn't have any major impact.

What a physique and quality. Swinging a sledgehammer requires leg strength. Liu Haizhong was not seriously injured and can work normally. Jia Dongxu was beaten in vain.

Qin Laosan stepped forward to deal with Liu Haizhong, but was chased to Qinjia Village by the five brothers of Dagouzi and was implicated. Although Qin Laosan was not seriously implicated, he was sentenced to five years and was released from prison in October 1963.

Cao Dongfang can be said to have indirectly avenged Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak because his leader was there, and Cao Dongfang simply ignored him.

He didn't even say hello to him. In Cao Dongfang's eyes, he was just an airy person.

I guess Liu Haizhong also wanted to buy some meat to eat. What good things could he have in mind from Cao Dongfang, a guy who only cares about food and not about beatings!

.......

On January 1959, 1, the three years of disaster for the people of that era had ended. From that day on, everything was purchased and sold by the state, and private individuals were not allowed to buy or sell.

The country has introduced a new policy. You need tickets to buy anything. A year later, tickets are more important than money. You can’t live in the city without tickets.

The next day at work, Cao Dongfang said to Shen Tao after he finished cleaning:

"Shen Tao, ask your dad if he wants the meat and what the price is. If it's not affordable, I won't go hunting anymore. It's meaningless to make such a small amount of money! I want to rest."

"Okay, Master, I'll go ask." Shen Tao immediately went out to ask his father.

He also wants to eat meat. How can he eat meat without hunting? If the price is low, Cao Dongfang really won't go hunting. Cao Dongfang is not short of money or tickets.

Shen Tao didn't know that Cao Dongfang's bills were three times as much as his own, which was related to the fact that there were only three people in Cao Dongfang's family.

The more people there are, the more subsidies there will be. Even so, the Cao family’s various bills are enough, and each person is equivalent to two.

"Master, I'm back. The factory is still charging 90 cents per pound. They plan to ask the department to charge 1 yuan per pound.

We take as much as we can, this is an unplanned purchase, it seems that the meat ration for everyone in the factory has been reduced again this year." Shen Tao said.

"Ninety cents a pound, that's a good price. You don't have to embarrass your father and the department.

It’s just that it’s difficult for you to buy meat, as private individuals cannot use money to trade.” Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Oh my god! My flesh, it seems like this is really happening, what should I do?" Shen Tao felt so sad that his flesh was gone.

“I can’t do anything about this. Just eat more at the factory.” Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Alas! It's the only way!"

"My flesh! My flesh!"

Shen Tao’s middle school syndrome has struck!

.......

As soon as the news came out, Cao Dongfang was fine, and the meat was just sold all to the steel mill. He earned a dime less, but it was more cost-effective than selling part of it to the market before!

Cao Dongfang believed that no one from the ministry to the factory would object to selling the whole pig to the steel mill at 0.90 cents per pound.

The steel rolling mill also belongs to the state!

Cao Dongfang had no problem dealing with the bills, but someone else had a big problem, which was——

Jia family!

In the whole family, only Jia Dongxu has a ticket, and the other three have no tickets. For example, now they can only buy six taels of meat a month, only two candles a year, and so on!

The wild wolf is howling, the wild wolf is howling, Jia Zhang is howling, Jia Zhang is crying loudly!

Unfortunately, it was all of no use. The only people in the compound were onlookers, standing eight meters away and watching Jia Zhang sitting alone in front of her own door and wailing.

No one cared about Jia Zhang. If your family didn't have a fixed quota, it was because you didn't have a chicken. You couldn't offend others. She howled for two hours, from two to four in the afternoon.

Jia Zhang is so ignorant of the current situation!

I wonder if people in the compound are annoyed with her!

What's the point of her crying!

No one in the compound spoke to her. Everyone was talking in a low voice, full of contempt and disdain for Jia Zhang.

After howling until she was tired, Jia Zhang crawled back to her home, where she regained her energy and started scolding Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu was about to give birth, about twenty days away. She sat on a chair at home, not saying a word, allowing Jia Zhangshi to scold her.

Very boring Jia Zhang!

.......

After get off work, Cao Dongfang was stopped by the third uncle.

"Dongfang, the New Year is coming soon and you can't buy meat. You go hunting and sell some meat to the third uncle, and I'll pay for it." Yan Bugui said.

"Uncle, you are too late. December is fine. Yesterday, the country did not allow private transactions with money. Uncle, you don't need money. What do you have? I sold all my meat to the steel mill.

I can eat the meat myself if I don't sell it, but I can't buy it with money." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Pa!" The third uncle slapped his forehead.

"Forget about it. It's a problem. We really can't buy meat this year. We can't even buy meat in the state-owned butcher shops. Alas! We can't even have any meat to eat during the New Year." The third uncle said helplessly.

"Uncle doesn't eat meat, he eats more radishes... He saves money. See you later." Cao Dongfang left.

When the third uncle buys meat, he pays according to the national price, which is 68 cents per pound. It is impossible to sell him meat.

Giving him some leftovers occasionally is better than selling him meat. During the Chinese New Year, he only eats two kilograms of meat at most, from the 30th to the 15th. The third uncle is too stingy.

After Cao Dongfang left, his third uncle Yan Bugui was still circling outside his house, trying to think of a way to get meat cheaply.

.......

"Dongfang, six taels of meat per person a month is too little." Cao's mother said.

"I go hunting, so our family won't be short of meat. Now that private individuals are not allowed to buy and sell meat with money, they can exchange it for other bills.

Our family will not lack tickets and meat, and my subsidy is also tripled! "Cao Dongfang said indifferently.

"Triple subsidy, so should all the tickets for our family be calculated based on six people?" asked Cao's mother.

"It's like this. Based on six people, my subsidy is the number of people in my family. The more people there are, the more subsidies I get, and the fewer people there are, the less subsidies I get," said Cao Dongfang.

"It's good this way. We have everything we need. It would be troublesome if we had money but no tickets," said Cao's mother.

"Go to the black market. It will be much busier this time. The tickets issued are not enough. You have no choice but to pay money to buy them on the black market. There is no other way." Cao Dongfang said.

"You can't sell the meat you hunt, so you can only eat it yourself!" asked Cao's mother.

“The steel mill is fine, and the supply and marketing cooperative’s purchasing point is also fine, but the supply and marketing cooperative’s purchase price is too low.

The steel mill's purchase price is less than 7 yuan per pound, so I won't go hunting again. We are not short of money. "Cao Dongfang said.

"Hunting is dangerous. If you don't have enough money, you won't go. Our family is not short of money or tickets." Cao's mother also thought that there was no need to go hunting if you didn't have enough money.

"No, I don't need to go. The price offered by the steel mill is still 35 cents per pound. From mid-November to now, seven weeks have passed, and I have gone hunting days.

I hunt 800 kilograms of meat on average every day and make a decent living. I'll give you another yuan later. Save it. I've made a lot of money from hunting in the past two years.

It is estimated that the steel mill will be hunting until at least early March, and there is still money to be made. "Cao Dongfang said.

"More than 20,000 yuan. Hunting makes money quickly and no one says anything?" Cao's mother asked.

"Whoever said he can go hunting by himself, I don't need to care about that. The workers in the steel mill can scold him to death just with his mouth." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"How many people are there in the steel rolling mill now? Why didn't the third uncle's boss Yan Jiecheng choose him when he was recruiting workers? Do you know about this?" asked Cao's mother.

"One reason is that Yan Jiecheng thought that he was a high school graduate and was too young and frivolous, so he was unwilling to work as a temporary worker in the newly built steelmaking workshop.

Another reason was that the third uncle was too stingy. When Yan Jiecheng signed up, he didn't even have a pack of cigarettes and didn't understand the ways of the world at all.

There are too many people, and we can use anyone. As temporary workers in the steelmaking workshop, is there any difference between junior high school students and high school students?

Besides, Yan Jiecheng is small and a bit cowardly," Cao Dongfang said.

"Alas! Third uncle has too many small calculations, but they don't get to the point. Spending 100 yuan to let Yan Jiecheng go to work is better than doing odd jobs now." Cao's mother was speechless about Third uncle's calculations.

"Haha, the Third Uncle's calculations are just small and insignificant calculations. Over time, he will calculate everything, big and small. This man is actually doomed." Cao Dongfang said disdainfully.

"Whether you are a man or a woman, it's better for them to be less calculating." Cao's mother agreed.

"Uncle San will be like Liu Haizhong in the future, and his children will not provide for him in his old age.

Yan Jiecheng will definitely hate the Third Uncle when he gets a formal job. He is young now and will grow up and start a family... Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"I can't take care of his family's affairs, so I won't bother with them. I'll go bring some food to Grandma Wang later. The children are growing up, and they don't have enough food to eat!" said Cao's mother.

It’s not enough to eat!
