I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Uncle Niu, these are the New Year's goods that you and Uncle Niu ordered. Here are them. Count them so we can settle the bill." Cao Dongfang said.

"Let me order. There are quite a lot of things. There are many people and many mouths to feed. Thank you Dongfang for your hard work," said Uncle Niu.

"There are many people who want New Year's goods, so let's do it together. It's convenient and a small matter. Uncle Niu, you're welcome." Cao Dongfang said.

"The stuff is fine, just deduct the previous amount! You have a lot of stuff, and it's cheap. Such good pork belly is only 90 cents.

If you go out and sell meat to earn money, people will rush to buy your stuff and you won’t be able to buy it! " said Master Niu.

"I'm not interested in setting up a stall. I'll go back first. There are still some people waiting for New Year's goods." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"No problem, Dongfang, you go ahead and do your thing first." Uncle Niu said happily.

"Goodbye, Mr. Niu!"

“Goodbye, East!”

.......

"All of Uncle Niu's things have been delivered. This year, Uncle Niu bought quite a lot of New Year's goods, including thirty kilograms of pork belly, pig heads, offal, eggs, and milk powder.

We have everything except food, and it is a problem to make friends with so many brothers. "Chen Xueru said.

"Thirty kilograms of pork belly and thirty kilograms of mutton. He'd be lucky if he could save five kilograms of each. He can't save much money. My stuff is just cheap!

Just like this, I lost 100 yuan, and my income for this month is basically gone.

Pian Ye can still be just a little more than 1/3 of Niu Ye, and still be able to save some money. "Cao Dongfang said.

"Let them spend their own money. Will they continue to work tomorrow?" Chen Xueru said.

"If you have nothing to do, go to work. It's boring to stay at home," said Cao Dongfang.

"Put ten pounds of eggs here for me. Auntie Wu has a pregnant daughter-in-law again, so she can eat some eggs to nourish herself." Chen Xueru said.

"These two years are not a good time to have a baby. I'll put down some eggs. You don't usually eat eggs." Cao Dongfang said.

"I don't even want to eat chickens, I only eat eggs. I'll put a few fruits in there if there are any. Now there is no fruit left." Chen Xueru said.

"They eat the fruit quite quickly! I'll go put it down!" Cao Dongfang said.

Chen Xueru's family can eat a lot of fruit. The three of them can basically eat about two kilograms of fruit a day.

The same cannot be said for Cao's mother and Cao Jiajia. They can only have one apple a day at most. It may be because of work or school. I don't know.

Cao Dongfang put the things that Chen Xueru needed in their previous locations, which were familiar to everyone and they could get them whenever they wanted to eat.

.......

The next day when he went to work, there was nothing to do. Cao Dongfang arrived at the factory at ten o'clock and took a walk around the fleet. The fleet had just divided the sheep and everyone was chatting and bragging.

"Dongfang, the price of pork belly on the black market reached four yuan per pound yesterday. Isn't this going to kill people?

"It's better to make vegetarian dumplings for the New Year, the prices are too scary." Bao Shu said.

"It has nothing to do with us. The price is too high. We can sell it if we have meat tickets. We can make one or two yuan at least." Cao Dongfang said.

"Meat, oil, cloth, cotton, none of them is less than one dollar and fifty cents. We sold a lot of them. This price is good. The collection fee is only one or two cents." Bao Shu said.

"If there are extra, just sell them. After a few years of disaster, it would be good to earn 10,000 yuan. But once the national economy stabilizes, it will be difficult to make money," said Cao Dongfang.

"That's right. If you hadn't asked us to keep the tickets, we wouldn't have thought of it. As long as we don't starve, why bother making money? Thank you, Dongfang." Bao Shu said.

"You're welcome. Those tickets are useless to me. I have never used tickets." Cao Dongfang said.

"The factory will distribute meat tomorrow, one pound and four ounces of meat per person. Some people will get four ounces of beef. Beef is also fine, not much, and can be used for cooking." Uncle Jiang said on the side.

"It's still thanks to the East. The East and the country gave more than a kilogram of meat, so it's easier to get more than a kilogram of pure meat.

"The leaders still want two kilograms, and so do we. There are four of us and eight kilograms. We asked for eight kilograms of beef. Braised beef is okay!" said Uncle Yu.

"Eat whatever you want. I'm not short of meat. If you are short of meat, please speak up," said Cao Dongfang.

"We are not short of meat. There is a lot of pork and mutton left this time. There are two whole sheep, sheep heads and sheep offal for those who like to eat, within a hundred pounds of pigs.

Starting from the day before yesterday, I have been eating ten kilograms of meat every night. Eat more meat when you have it. Don’t be like that ungrateful guy in your hospital who looks like he’s floating when he walks.

In that state, I don’t know how much food he eats every day.” Uncle Jiang said.

"Who would have known that the family only had an income of fifty yuan a month, and that old shrew in his family had offended everyone in the compound. Fifty yuan was not a small amount in the past.

now--

But not many!

There are five people in his family, and he is the only one who gets a fixed amount. The rest are all high-priced, and his family also makes it themselves..." Cao Dongfang said.

"There is a quota for each of the five people in the family. Fifty yuan is really not enough. Nothing is enough. Everything has to be bought at a high price." Uncle Guan said.

"Never mind him. I'll go out for a while at noon and treat others to a meal. I'll come over in the afternoon!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Go ahead. No one will care about you in the factory. The factory will be recruiting again after the New Year. Do you want a quota?

We have four quotas, and the factory wants to give you one, but we don’t know if you want it or not.” Uncle Guan said.

"I don't want it. No one with good connections wants a workstation. How much is one workstation?" Cao Dongfang asked.

“It ranges from 500 to 1000 yuan, depending on where you work,” said Uncle Guan.

"When we first came to the factory, it had only 1500 people. In ten years, it has grown to over 9000 people, and will soon be almost . The number of employees is increasing very fast!" Uncle Jiang said with emotion.

"Dongfang, Mr. Lou ran away, you know about this, right?" Uncle Yu asked.

"I know. I sent the person to Gangcheng. He is living a good life. He is doing clothing business and I run the external business on my own." Cao Dongfang said.

"I understand. To the outside world, Director Lou ran away on his own. He is considered a problematic person. The factory leaders also admit that Director Lou ran away on his own." Uncle Guan said.

“They are of low rank and cannot know the purpose of Director Lou’s trip abroad. They just ran away from the factory, which is good.

I'm leaving first and will stay at Uncle Li's place for a while. "Cao Dongfang said. "Goodbye everyone!"

“Goodbye East!”

"Dongfang's power is indeed much greater than that of the factory leaders. This is good!"

“It’s good to have power!”

.......

"Hello, Uncle Li." Cao Dongfang greeted.

"We won't go hunting today. Let's take a day off. You're really awesome. We're having meat at the factory today. Do you want to eat some?" asked Uncle Li.

"Not interested. I'm going out to eat later. Just a few pounds of meat and some offal." Cao Dongfang said.

"You, there aren't many people in this city who are as good as you when it comes to eating meat.

"I have a great news for you, kid. I haven't told anyone else. I have a successor. Isn't that great?" Uncle Li said happily.

"Uncle Li, you are amazing. Just like when you were a soldier, your shooting skills are really accurate and you can hit the target with one shot.

In less than a year, you have caused a death, and Niu Dafa has been very successful for several months. "Cao Dongfang asked.

"A little over a month ago, I started retching yesterday, and the examination revealed the cause. I have to thank Dongfang for this.

Without your idea, I would never get married in my life, and I would never have children. "Grandpa Li was so happy that tears came out.

"Uncle Li, you had the wrong idea before. Men don't lack that part. Lack of other parts is a small matter. It is impossible for a woman to get pregnant in other parts of the body." Cao Dongfang said.

Uncle Li: “…”

What do you mean as long as that place is not lacking, then lack of other places is no big deal. To make a woman pregnant... you really need to use that place, not other places!

"Congratulations, Uncle Li. I'll give you a pack of cigarettes first. I'll bring you some braised pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms when I come back.

Let Auntie make up for it too. "Cao Dongfang gave Uncle Li a pack of Camel cigarettes.

"Thank you for the braised pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms. I'm sorry to say that. I never thought that my Li family would have a successor, hahaha." Uncle Li said with a smile.

"If you have children, take good care of them. If you have more, speak up if you have any questions," said Cao Dongfang.

"I don't want more, just one is enough. It's not good to have more, and I can't afford to raise them." Uncle Li said.

"Okay, then you decide. This is your family affair," said Cao Dongfang.

"One is enough. Life is hard and supplies are scarce. I would be happy if I had one, no matter if it's a boy or a girl," said Grandpa Li.

"Uncle Li is very kind. Oh, the factory has started to boil offal. The smell is a bit strong. Is it stewed food?" Cao Dongfang smelled it and the canteen started to make stewed food.

"It should be. Braised pork is delicious and cheap. Offal is also meat. Stir-fried liver is also fine!

Now we are short of food and oil, we can’t even buy fried dough sticks, stewed pork, or liver. ” said Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li's food is delicious. I'm going out now. It's time." Cao Dongfang said.

"Uncle Li, see you later!
