Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 120 Loess Plateau Swordsman on Credit

Wang Manyin originally thought that state-run restaurants should be more realistic these days.Only now do I know that it is no different from future generations.

It is right to think about it, "The cook does not steal, and the grain does not reap", this is an unspoken rule since ancient times.

"What are you doing, why are you going upstairs? Just explain to me right here! The eyes of the masses are discerning, and you don't have enough money to cook..."

The middle-aged officer reprimanded him, but Wang Dali didn't dare to make any more excuses, he just nodded and admitted his mistake, expressing his resolute correction.

Afterwards, the two from the County Associated Press left half a bowl of mutton and haggis, and got up to leave.

Wang Dali hurriedly blocked it again...

In the end, the two really left!

Such a scene shocked Wang Manyin.It was also from the other party that he learned that there is a clear regulation on the comprehensive gross profit rate of state-owned restaurants, which cannot exceed 30%.Dishes that use cooking methods such as frying, frying, roasting, and slipping can be slightly higher, but not more than 50%.For ordinary noodles, the meat content in the saozi should not be less than four qian...

In a word, restaurants are for the convenience of the masses, not for profit.

Just like what I thought before, this era may not be perfect, but it also has ideal persistence that is rarely seen in later generations.

After a long while, he just ate a few dry stoves, and he didn't do much activity in the car all the way, so Wang Manyin wasn't very hungry.After finishing a large bowl of mutton soup, he felt [-]% full.I simply kept the biscuits I just bought, and prepared to eat them on the road.

But the free mutton soup is worthless... The opportunity is rare, after this village, there is no such shop.

"Sheep soup is free? There is such a good thing." Hearing Wang Manyin's words, Liu Xiangyang also put down the biscuits in his hand.

The performance of the two was quite unpromising, and they added soup four times in a row.When he put down the bowls and chopsticks, Wang Manyin only felt his stomach swaying, as if he drank a full stomach of water.

Looking at Liu Xiangyang again, he raised his head while walking, as if there was something in the sky.

He asked in surprise, "Xiangyang, what are you doing looking at the sky?"

"I dare not lower my head. I drank too much. If I lower my head, I will spit out. Let's drive again later." Liu Xiangyang continued to answer with his head raised.

"Look at your worthless coward," Wang Manyin sneered, his eyes flicked slightly, and he suddenly whispered, "Hurry up, don't turn your head, we seem to be being targeted."

"Here?" Liu Xiangyang's face changed slightly.

Some can't believe that someone is so bold now, daring to do it in the most prosperous part of the county.

But be careful, there is no big mistake... After being robbed last time, Liu Xiangyang is now a little bit like a soldier.Fortunately, there is a crank in hand this time, so don't be too scared.

Wang Manyin felt that the person behind him was not like a robber, but more like a thief.After all, there are people coming and going on the street now, and there are no conditions for robbery.

When the two walked to the side of the car, the other party also came behind him and put his hand on Wang Manyin's shoulder: "Brother..."

Before they could finish speaking, the two had already reacted quickly.

Wang Manyin grabbed the opponent's wrist and suddenly turned around.

Liu Xiangyang over there also waved the crank, stopped in mid-air, and was ready to fall at any time.

"It hurts, it hurts... let go, what are you doing... why hit someone?" A dirty big man screamed in a blunt tone.

After Wang Manyin looked at the other party for a few times, he let go of his hand and asked a little strangely: "You are from the northern prairie, why are you following us?"

This person's dressing style is obviously different from that of the local people, with a dirty felt hat on his head, a long robe, and fish-head-shaped Guthule boots on his feet.Coupled with a pair of dirty beards, it is a proper image of the northern prairie.

Just looking at the shape, you know that there can be no such a cool thief.

As for why the other party could speak Chinese, Wang Manyin was not surprised.

As early as more than a hundred years ago, the original east and the west were one of the commercial routes leading to the grassland, and Chinese was the common language of merchants in Mongolia, and the grassland people who often deal with merchants naturally understood it.

In addition, since the 50s, the grassland has begun to promote Chinese language teaching.Especially near the Loess Plateau, many people can communicate in Chinese.

I wandered around two years ago, not only bought boxes of "Red Gold" cigarettes on the other side of the Yellow River, but also went to the northern grasslands, so I am familiar with the customs and customs of that area.

"Good man, you have such a strong hand." The other party moved his wrist a few times, and said unwillingly, "If it weren't for... I didn't eat, you would definitely not be able to beat the eagle from the grassland."

"What are you doing with us?" Liu Xiangyang asked aloud.

"You guys...can you give me some sesame seed cakes, I haven't eaten for two days..." the prairie man said a little embarrassedly.

"Here!" Wang Manyin handed over all the biscuits without hesitation.

When going out, people will encounter difficulties.If he can reach out to help, he will never be stingy.

After the other party took it, he wolfed it down, and then gurgled and drank water from the gourd.

After eating two biscuits, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, thank you, you are all good people, my name is Wu Enqi..."

"Brother Wu Enqi, why did you come to Yuandong County? Doing business?" Seeing that the other party took a breath, Wang Manyin asked curiously again.

Although it is not far from the grassland in a straight line, there are hundreds of miles of twists and turns.

"I was deceived by someone, and I came here to collect the debt..." When mentioning his own experience, the big man in the prairie was full of anger.

Last winter, a man named Li Shoucai from Yuandong County went to Wu Enqi's ranch to buy sheep.

At that time, the other party bought ten sheep, but later felt that the price of the sheep was cheap, and proposed to buy ten more sheep, but he didn't have that much money with him.So I want to take the sheep back and send money to the grassland...

As a result, Wu Enqi had been waiting for several months and never saw Li Shoucai sending money, so he felt that something was wrong.That's why this prairie man left his hometown and took a transport truck to Yuandong County to find someone.

"Brother Wu Enqi, the other party only said a name, and you agreed?" Liu Xiangyang's face was full of disbelief when he heard this.

They had never met each other before, didn't know the other party's specific address, and dared to credit ten sheep... He didn't know whether to laugh at the other party's innocence or stupidity.

"He said that he lives in a fort in Yuandong County, and he is a well-known person in the local area. Just mention the name... I thought it would be easy to find, but I didn't know that Yuandong County is so big!"

Wang Manyin suddenly realized when he heard this: The so-called Baozi means a village in the Loess Plateau.The grassland is vast and sparsely populated, and there may be twenty or thirty households in a bunker, so it is indeed easy to find.

Feelings This big brother regards Yuandong County as his own fort...so he got off the car and was dumbfounded.After searching for four or five days in a daze, all the money and tickets I brought with me were spent, and I didn't even have the fare for the return journey. Now I can only live on the street hungry.

"Are you going to continue looking..." Wang Manyin asked, and then analyzed the other party.

There are more than a dozen communes in Yuandong County, and there are hundreds of villages, large and small.I only know one person's name, so I just search in such a muddle-headed manner, and I can't find anyone at all within a month.

What's more, Li Shoucai's name sounds too popular, and he doesn't know that the other party is talking about his real name and a fake name.

"What should I do?" Wu Enqi was completely stunned.

Before he came to collect the money, he didn't even think about the issue of fake names.

"How much does the other party owe you?" Liu Xiangyang asked again.

"63 yuan,"

As for the amount owed, Wu Enqi remembered clearly.

"How much... Didn't you say that the other party paid ten sheep on credit? Why is it only 63, six yuan for one sheep? Did you miscalculate the account?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang exclaimed again.

Wu Enqi repeatedly shook his head and denied: "No, no, the ordinary sheep is six yuan, the big one is ten yuan, and the small one is five yuan..."

"Brother Wang, are grassland sheep really so cheap?" Liu Xiangyang felt even more unbelievable, feeling that there was some kind of misunderstanding about the price.

He once went to the black market in Shigejie Commune. A small chicken cost more than two yuan, and a large one could reach three yuan.According to this algorithm, two chickens are worth one sheep.

A sheep weighs at least twenty or thirty catties, which is far more cost-effective than eating chicken.

"Well, the price of sheep on the grassland is indeed very cheap now. There are regulations. Our original Xixian County raises less sheep, so the price is higher. Calculated according to the meat yield, the first-class clean meat is more than 26 catties, one catty Sixty cents. The price of second-class clean meat is even lower, and a sheep from the original Xixian County is only a dozen yuan."

The predecessor has traveled all over the world, and is very familiar with the roads here.

In fact, the price of mutton sold at the county food station is not high, seventy cents a catty, of course you need a meat ticket.If it is on the black market, the price will definitely turn up.

It is precisely because of the price difference between the two places that so many people take risks and go back and forth.

In addition, for Wu Enqi's behavior of credit, if it is extremely absurd and unbelievable in later generations.But in this day and age, it's actually pretty normal.

For example, on the Loess Plateau, many of the sellers in the streets and alleys are on credit, and the two parties do not know each other.For example, chickens on credit, knives on credit, pot on credit... Everyone agrees verbally, and they usually come to collect the bills after autumn or before the year.

What's more, those who have visited the door for two or three years can also get the money back.

If it happens that the owner is not at home, you can ask the villagers to make another appointment, and they will usually wait at home early.

This kind of verbal agreement seems to be very weak, but it can continue to operate because of people's integrity.

Like the credit account of Wang Manyin's agency sales point before, after the earth keel was sold, people paid it back early.

It is only after a few decades that there are too many "smart" people in the society, and this ancient trading model will decline rapidly, and finally become contracts.

Send the Buddha to the West, and help people to the end.

Now that we met, Wang Manyin simply decided to help again: "It's not a problem for you to search like this. Why don't we take you to the Yuandong County Freight Station and return to the grassland earlier. After you find out clearly, come and look for it..."

Wu Enqi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In fact, he has regretted it in his heart for the past few days, but no one persuaded him, so he got into the dead end.

In this way, the two drove each other to the freight station with a walking tractor, and they really found a vehicle that was about to transport goods to the north.

Wang Manyin stuffed a pack of cigarettes for the driver, and after explaining the situation, the other party readily agreed.
