Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 38 Chen Jiangtao

The food station on the Hongqi Commune side is a place dedicated to selling meat.

Slaughtered pigs are sent here and then sold here.

The people who come to buy are usually people from the commune street.

They have urban household registration, and you can just show the ticket when purchasing.

The leather goods collected by Chen Jiangtao are also processed and stored here.

And just across the refinery is the commune's supply and marketing cooperative, so this is also Chen Jiangtao's temporary residence.

When he arrived at the food station, Chen Jiangtao directly asked a middle-aged woman inside to cook some dishes, saying that he wanted to entertain Song Chaoyang.

The middle-aged woman Song Chaoyang remembered that she was some kind of director of this food station.

At this moment, he ran off to do errands without saying a word.

It seems that Chen Jiangtao, an official from the provincial capital, still has some energy.

Then Chen Jiangtao went to the supply and marketing cooperative not far next door to say hello. The other party immediately came over with a steel scale and said that he wanted to weigh the medicinal materials in Song Chaoyang's basket.

Before the weighing, Chen Jiangtao specifically told everyone to count them as special products.

After the people from the supply and marketing cooperative heard what he said, they immediately understood that they could not follow the normal process.

So I checked immediately without checking, quickly weighed the weight, and then calculated everything for Song Chaoyang according to the price of the special product.

A total of one hundred and twenty-eight yuan.

It was more than thirty yuan higher than Song Chaoyang's original calculation of more than ninety yuan.

After a while, the money went directly to Song Chaoyang.

Then Chen Jiangtao introduced Song Chaoyang to the fat middle-aged man who had just brought him money.

He said that if he had any mountain goods in the future, he could send them to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Just leave it to this person.

The supply and marketing cooperative here in the commune is also helping them purchase nearby leather goods. He will come down twice every half month, and then he will bring the collected goods back to the provincial capital.

He also specifically told the other party that Song Chaoyang's mountain products would be collected as special grade.

He will come and sign the order when the time comes.

The person from this supply and marketing cooperative is named Tang Bing, who is responsible for the docking business in the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune.

After hearing Chen Jiangtao's words, he immediately agreed.

He also specifically said that Song Chaoyang's products were really good.

It is plump and extremely clean. It is worthy of being a top grade product.

A paragraph of words is watertight, which can be said to be a flow of good things.

Song Chaoyang knew that Chen Jiangtao was taking care of him, but who wouldn't be happy if he could pay a good price for mountain goods.

Besides, my mountain goods are not bad either.

It is much better than the Gastrodia elata dug by most people.

The mountain goods were sold here and the dishes were prepared on the other side. Chen Jiangtao took Song Chaoyang back to the food station.

There are three meat dishes on the table now.

A pork belly, a pork loin, and a pork liver.

Although I had breakfast in the morning, after walking for two hours to the commune, I actually had nothing left in my stomach.

In addition, the aroma of these three dishes is overflowing, and the oily appearance looks like Jianghu cuisine with heavy oil.

Song Chaoyang started to salivate just by smelling it.

The little girl following next to her had her eyes gleaming, and she wanted to grab her chopsticks and start eating right away.

Only Chen Jiangtao said with some dissatisfaction after seeing these three dishes:

"What, it's all internal organs?"

"Is your food station out of meat?"

"My cadre hospitality standards are going to be used up? I have some meat tickets here."

The middle-aged woman cooking quickly smiled at Chen Jiangtao and said:

"Chief Chen, don't worry, you're meaty!"

"Aren't these three dishes served quickly? The twice-cooked pork is still being prepared!"

Chen Jiangtao nodded and said:
"Okay, hurry up."

Then he greeted Song Chaoyang:
"Little brother, sit down and eat quickly."

"This is the most delicious when it's fresh out of the pot. It won't be as delicious after a while when the pot steam dissipates." Most people are still struggling to have enough food and clothing these days, but listening to this person's words, you can tell that he is eating There is definitely a lot of research on this aspect.

Song Chaoyang was not polite to him. He nodded and asked the little girl to pick up the chopsticks and start eating.

Although they are also eating bacon these days, who would object to eating meat?

Coupled with the fact that these three dishes are all heavy with oil, they started to like them.

Especially the little girl Song Yu, who opened her cheeks to eat.

She knew that such opportunities were rare.

Even during the Chinese New Year, there won’t be so much meat at home.

It doesn’t matter if it’s offal or not, as long as it’s meat from the pig.

Song Chaoyang was a little better than the little girl, and she ate quite politely. However, Chen Jiangtao frowned after picking up a chopstick and putting it into his mouth.

Then he started to complain:
"Sure enough, it's not a professional craftsmanship. It's obviously overheated."

"Pork liver is cut too thin and will become old if it is overcooked. She thought that the thinner the better... and the pork loin, the waist is clean, but the knife skills are really not good, and the Fengwei knife is not very good. .”

Song Chaoyang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. You would be disgusted if the director of a food station cooks for you. If someone hears this, I don't know what they will think.

Song Chaoyang took over the conversation and said to Chen Jiangtao:
"Chief Chen is so professional... I didn't notice it at all, I thought it was quite delicious."

Hearing Song Chaoyang calling him, Chen Jiangtao waved his hand:
"Don't call me Chief Chen. You helped me a lot this time."

"You don't mind, just call me Brother Chen."

"Okay." Song Chaoyang nodded, but he was not polite to Chen Jiangtao.

Then the two of them started chatting while eating.

This conversation was quite speculative.

The main reason was that Song Chaoyang didn't behave like a rural person, and there was no barrier to chatting with Chen Jiangtao. The two of them became more and more enthusiastic as they chatted.

Chen Jiangtao has traveled to many places and met many people over the years. He can talk to people all over the world.

I originally thought that Song Chaoyang was just a young man from the mountains, but when we chatted with him, we found that he was not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

The two of them chatted about topics all over the world. Chen Jiangtao was already very good at talking, but he didn't expect Song Chaoyang to be able to keep up with his own pace.

And the more they talked, the more Chen Jiangtao felt that Song Chaoyang was definitely a very talented person.

After chatting for a while, Song Chaoyang roughly understood Chen Jiangtao's situation.

This person previously worked in procurement for a state-owned unit, but was later transferred to the current Provincial Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Specialized in purchasing various leather goods in the province.

Although he is a deputy section chief, he still has quite a lot of power.

When he went to a county, the supply and marketing cooperatives below had to treat him respectfully.

He had been resting in Hongqi Commune for two days. This afternoon, he had two tiger skins and two tiger bones to collect. He brought money with him, but he lost it unexpectedly.

Fortunately, Song Chaoyi picked it up and returned it to him, otherwise the six hundred yuan gap would not have been so easy to fill.

Chen Jiangtao also learned about Song Chaoyang's situation.

Of course, Song Chaoyang only said it roughly.

But just by saying that, Chen Jiangtao acted very positively.

He said to Song Chaoyang:
"Brother, you are still young. In this case, you should put down your farm work, read books seriously, and wait until next year to take the college entrance examination. If you can go to university, your life will be different."

"You don't know how good the current policy is for college students."

"In those units in the city, anyone who has graduated from college is rushing to get one."

"Just because I know many children of cadres are forced by their families to pass the exam, you will know how great the benefit is."

After saying that, he smacked his lips:
"Tsk, speaking of which, I want to take the exam. It's a pity that I'm my age and have a wife and children at home. Otherwise, I really want to give it a try."

Having said this, he patted Song Chaoyang on the shoulder and said seriously:

"Brother, you are of the right age and are not married. Now is the right time. You can't miss this opportunity, or you will regret it later."

Song Chaoyang nodded after listening to his words:
"Well, I do have this idea, and I plan to give it a try for the college entrance examination next year.

“Now I’m poaching because I want to save some money so that I can take a break from work and read books for half a year.”

When Chen Jiangtao heard that Song Chaoyang listened to him like this, he was very happy. He patted his thigh and said:

"That's great! That's a good idea!"

"Brother, I support you!"

After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and took out the pen from his pocket, then stuffed it directly into Song Chaoyang's hand:
"You and I have hit it off. Brother, I gave you this pen. I wish you a place on the gold list next year."
