Chapter 18

Turning his head, he saw a young man about his age.The other party was wearing a blue khaki and was thin, about 1.7 meters tall.

"Liu Qingli, it's you kid, why did you come to Shigejie Commune?" Wang Manyin glanced twice, and finally recognized the young man who greeted him from his memory.

He touched his pocket, a little embarrassed.I don't smoke, and I didn't pretend to be on my body during this time.

But the other party reacted and quickly handed over one.

Wang Manyin didn't smoke after receiving it, but clamped it to his ear.

Liu Qingli was a friend of his predecessor, and had a lifelong friendship.

The east wind is blowing, and the drums of war are beating.

Two years earlier, Yuanxi County was in a state of turmoil.

The predecessor enthusiastically participated in one of the factions, offering food and drink every day, and giving out a pack of cigarettes.

As a result, after tossing back and forth, he met Liu Qingli, and saved his life by mistake.

At that time, the kid was stabbed and lay half dead on the ground.

Wang Manyin's timidity is timid, but he is still a man of loyalty.

While no one was paying attention, he secretly ran away with Liu Qingli on his back and was sent to the hospital.Then he asked Liu Qingli for his home address, and then notified the other party's parents.

It was also after this incident that the predecessor was really scared, threw the gun away and ran back to Guanzi Village.

But now Wang Manyin is a little puzzled, Liu Qingli's family is from the original Xixian County, why did he appear in Shigejie Commune?And from the point of view of dressing, it seems to be doing well.

Before he could utter the question, Liu Qingli had already answered on his own initiative: "Brother Manyin, I asked someone to inquire about you after I was discharged from the hospital, but there was no news. Now I know that your home is in Shigejie Commune... After that After what happened, I stayed at home for two years. Thanks to my family, I found a job at the Shigejie Supply and Marketing Cooperative.”

"Since I met you today, I'm going to treat you to a good meal."

"You guys are fine. The supply and marketing cooperative is a good unit. But I'll do it. After all, the Shige Festival is also my territory. How can I invite you as a guest. I'll just wait outside. Let's go directly to the restaurant after work." Wang Manyin He said it in his mouth, and sighed in his heart.

The predecessor has been fooling around outside for two years, not for nothing, but he has left a lot of contacts for himself.

For Liu Qingli to work in a supply and marketing cooperative, his family must have some skills, which might come in handy in the future.

The most basic thing is that it will be much more convenient for you to buy something at the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Okay, let's make it so. It's too cold, don't wait here, go sit in the dormitory at the back." Liu Qingli said again.

Wang Manyin thought so, and followed the other party to the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Seven or eight people were busy in the yard, some were loading and unloading cars, some were drying their furs, and a few people were sharpening their knives at a fat pig in the corner...

Liu Qingli greeted Wang Manyin along the way, and finally entered the dormitory.

The so-called dormitory is also a row of cave dwellings.

It's business hours, and there's no one there.Against the wall is a long earth kang, on which several quilts are placed in disorder.

There is a stove at the door, steaming hotly.

Liu Qingli picked up his teacup and poured a cup of hot water, and sprinkled some chrysanthemum essence into it.

He handed it over and said, "Brother Manyin, drink some water. It's warm in the dormitory, so you stay here. I'll come to you after get off work. If there's nothing else, you can read a book."

"Forget it, I happen to be interested in the supply and marketing cooperative, let's go to the yard to watch you work." Wang Manyin hurriedly followed with an enamel teacup in his hand.

He originally thought that Liu Qingli lived in a single dormitory, but now he finds out that it is a Datong shop, so why not keep it.

In case you lose something, you won't be able to tell when the time comes.

"That's fine," Liu Qingli didn't think much about it, he really thought Wang Manyin was interested.

He took it to the courtyard and greeted people, then left in a hurry.

At first, Wang Manyin held his sleeves and stood by to watch others busy.

Later, I felt inactive and felt cold all over, so I simply greeted a few workers and helped unload the truck.

If someone offers to help, the other party will naturally ask for it.

Anyway, the big carts are equipped with large clay tanks, so as long as you handle them lightly, you are not afraid of any problems.

Wang Manyin was willing to work hard, and he inherited the eloquence from his predecessor, so he quickly got along with these people.

After unloading, he followed to dry the fur.

Until noon, Liu Qingli returned to the backyard and said in surprise, "Brother Man Yin, why are you working?"

"It's okay, idle is idle." Wang Manyin replied nonchalantly.

"Wait here for a while. I happen to have two wine tickets in my dormitory. Let's get a bottle of Xifeng for lunch."

Hearing this, Wang Manyin looked at the boy: "Okay, Qingli, the employees of your supply and marketing cooperative are cattle, and you can still drink Xifeng."

In later generations, Xifeng wine has completely declined.

But in this era, its name is almost equal to that of national wine.

In 1952, the first liquor evaluation meeting was held, and Moutai, Luzhou Laojiao, Fen, and Xifeng liquor were selected among hundreds of liquors, and they were called the "Four Famous Liquor".

Now if you can work in Xifeng Distillery, it is definitely a symbol of honor and status.

According to Wang Manyin's memory, many wealthy families will use Xifeng wine as a dowry gift when they get married, so that they can look honorable.

Although this kind of wine is sold in the Shige Festival Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it is difficult for ordinary people to buy even if they have money.

Unless you know someone, or belong to a relationship.

Only insiders like Liu Qingli could get it.

But it's not necessary for two people to drink and reminisce about the old days.

A bottle of Xifeng wine costs seven yuan, which is too extravagant.

So Wang Manyin sighed, saying why not let the other party get the drink ticket.

"Then I'll get a catty of better sorghum wine later, and let's take it to the restaurant opposite to drink."

"Alright," this time, Wang Manyin did not refuse.

They came earlier, and there were only a few customers in the restaurant.

Wang Manyin had food stamps in his pocket, so it was natural. Looking at the small blackboard on the wall of the restaurant, he ordered braised pork and asked Liu Qingli to order.

This kid only needs a plate of fried cabbage, a few steamed buns, and two big bowls of buckwheat noodles.

Wang Manyin didn't agree, and ordered another scrambled egg with leeks to make it all work.

A serving of braised pork costs one yuan and twenty cents, plus fifty taels of meat ticket.A plate of scrambled eggs with leeks costs [-] cents a piece, and a ticket is also required.Stir-fried cabbage does not require food tickets, and there are four steamed buns...the total cost is less than three yuan, and there are some food and meat tickets.

In a word, things are really not expensive, mainly tickets.

"Brother Manyin, are you still running around outside?" Liu Qingli asked in a low voice after the dishes were served and the wine had passed three rounds.

"It's gone, take care early. I just got engaged a few days ago, and I won't go out for a walk in the future." Wang Manyin said truthfully.

"Then what are your plans, farming in the village?"

Naturally, Wang Manyin would not mention the plan to sell fish to the other party.But listening to this kid's question, it seems that there is still a mystery hidden.

With a thought in his heart, he tentatively said, "Otherwise, I can't do other things for a living. If you have a connection, you can introduce it to my brother."

"Brother Manyin, I really have a good job here, which is very suitable for you. I was thinking this morning..." Liu Qingli lowered his voice, "Recently, the supply and marketing cooperatives are doing 'serving members, delivering goods to the countryside'. Select a few villages under the Shigejie Commune and set up a group of consignment outlets."

Consignment points! ?Wang Manyin's eyes lit up immediately.

As a later generation, he is too familiar with this name with the imprint of the times.

"Qing Li, do you have a connection?" He suppressed his excitement and asked.If I can open a consignment store in Guanzi Village, I don't need to go to the production team to earn work points.

But like this kind of good thing, most people don't have the chance at all.
