Hello 1983

  Chapter 187 Here Comes a Big Deal

   On the way back from the commune, Liu Qingshan was in a good mood.

  If the picking can be done reasonably from the beginning, the resources of wild vegetables and fungi in the forest will not be exhausted. This is also the most meaningful thing he has done.

  It is relatively easy to earn a little money for yourself or your family.

   Things like this are not up to him, and they are out of his ability, so he has to work hard to win the support of the above.

  The old branch secretary and Captain Zhang were also very excited. They also did not expect that the mountain wild vegetables that were originally weeds turned into gold.

   Along the way, Captain Zhang never closed his mouth, and kept saying:

   "Qingshan, thanks to you, you led the group to pick a lot of mushrooms and fungus last fall. It's all money. We'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative in two days and sell them all!"

  Then he went on to grumble: "If I knew this, at the beginning of last spring, I organized everyone to pick more bracken, and it cost one yuan a catty."

   While talking, he slapped his thigh regretfully.

  Although the old branch secretary was also excited, he was still calm after all. He asked Liu Qingshan: "Qingshan, I see that you didn't memorize a single word during the meeting. Can your mind remember everything?"

   "Haha, Grandpa Branch Secretary, that plan was researched by me and the county magistrate together."

  Liu Qingshan handed over to them the truth.

  The two were overjoyed after hearing this: "Haha, our Qingshan is the best!"

  In the evening of that day, a village meeting was held in the courtyard, and naturally Liu Qingshan was the keynote speaker.

  When I mentioned that the supply and marketing cooperatives purchased wild vegetables and mushrooms and fungus at high prices, I saw Zhang Dashuai jumped up from the small bench and ran home in a hurry.

   "It's a meeting, Marshal, what are you doing, you're the **** out of your ass?"

  Captain Zhang yelled.

Dashuai Zhang yelled without turning his head: "I'll go home quickly and have a look. My wife said that the two bags of dried mushrooms I picked last year were in the way in the barn. In the summer, bugs are easy to grow. I have to fill the stove pit and burn the kang. This prodigal girl..."

  Everyone burst into laughter, but looking back, no one took this as a good thing.

  Last fall, I picked it up with great effort, but it was never sold. I thought it was a throwaway.

As a result, according to the prices announced just now, black fungus costs fifteen yuan a catty; dried hazel mushrooms cost eleven or twelve yuan a catty; dried frozen mushrooms cost ten yuan a catty; and the most valuable monkey head is thirty yuan. One catty, it scares me to death.

  While everyone was discussing, they heard a crackling sound. They all looked over and saw Zhang Shuzi, his father, scratching his ear, muttering:

   "I knew monkey head was so valuable. During Chinese New Year, I wouldn't want to use it to stew chicken!"

  The people around quickly grabbed him, and then pulled him down, his face was swollen.

   After the excitement gradually subsided, people turned their eyes to Liu Qingshan one after another, with extremely eager eyes.

   This is the boy who led the group to pick mountain products last year. Now whose family's fungus and mushrooms are produced, isn't it worth a few hundred dollars?

  This kind of vision, this kind of knowledge, and most importantly, this kind of sincerity to the folks, is rare.

  With such a leader, it is difficult to think of a good life!

   "Qing Shan, you are benevolent and righteous!"

  Grandpa Kidnapper stood up tremblingly, hitting the ground hard with the crutch in his hand.

  The words of the old man also represented the aspirations of all the villagers, and everyone nodded along.

   Liu Qingshan was also excited: changing people's hearts, and being recognized by the villagers, everything he has done is worth it.

  Next, he began to explain the plan. Liu Qingshan said it in combination with the actual situation, and it was more operable. Even Zhang Ganzi, who was not well educated, said he understood and knew what to do.

  After breakfast the next day, every household gathered at the team headquarters with sacks and flour bags on their shoulders.

  The bags are full of mountain products such as mushrooms and fungus. They are going to sell the first batch of mountain products today.

  After the bags are weighed, the boss uncle will mark the names of each family on the bags.

  Because when buying, it is also divided into grades, and the prices of each grade are also different, so they cannot be mixed together.

   A large truck and a small four-wheeler are fully installed, but I haven't loaded it yet.

  The main reason is that these dry goods are relatively light and not resistant to pressure, so they take up a lot of space.

  Finally, two more carriages were used to pull everything away.

  The old three members of the village committee, together with Liu Qingshan, also took a few strong young men as loaders, and went straight to the commune.

  The mountain products harvested last summer and autumn should also be distributed uniformly by the cooperative.

  However, considering that there were no large-scale acquisitions at that time, it was unknown what the prospects would be. In the end, each family returned to each other, which was about the same anyway.

  The carriage behind was too slow, so they gathered at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, and then entered the courtyard together.

  The gate of the supply and marketing cooperative was not open, and vehicles could not get in, so everyone went in first with a few bags of more expensive monkey heads.

  Although the mobilization meetings of the various brigades were just completed yesterday, some villagers have come here to sell some of their stocks, which can be regarded as exploring the way.

   It’s just that they don’t have a large-scale collection. They are all three catties and two catties. They keep their own food and sell it now.

  The backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative is a large house, full of warehouses, and the temporary purchase point is set in front of a large warehouse.

  According to the requirements of the county, multiple departments jointly carry out the purchase, so the native product department also sent two experienced masters to take care of it. After all, the purchase of mountain products also requires knowledgeable people.

   There are also two younger staff members who are responsible for weighing the goods after the master inspects and orders them.

  There are not many mountain products, so I use a plate scale, and a large scale next to it is useless at all.

   After weighing the weight, someone next to you is in charge of billing, and finally goes to collect the money.

  When Liu Qingshan and the others arrived, they found that there were five or six villagers happily waiting in line.

  An old man in his fifties was happily carrying a noodle bag and chatting with the people he knew next to him: "Thanks to my hard work and diligence last autumn, I picked two crops of fungus."

   It was his turn during the conversation. There were more than three catties of dried fungus, and the quality was also first-class. The exchange cost was nearly 50 yuan, and the old man was so happy from ear to ear.

  The people next to him also complimented: "Old man Ding, you've made a fortune, treat me later!"

  The old man was also happy with his goatee: "I didn't say anything, I'm going to buy a box of filter tips, and everyone can try it."

   Turning around, I was about to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy cigarettes, but I saw the old branch secretary and immediately said hello:

   "Brother Zhang, you are guarding the Mantou Mountain in Jiapigou, and you are also here to sell mountain products?"

  The old branch secretary nodded, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: "Come on, Xiao Ding smokes one."

   Passed it around to several other people and the staff, everyone lit their cigarettes and took a puff, and immediately said in surprise: "Why is this smoke still blowing cold wind?"

  The old branch secretary smoked a small pipe: "I am not used to the cigarettes of the little devil, but our dry tobacco is the best."

  What, foreign cigarettes?

  Everyone looked at the old party secretary with weird eyes, and Liu Qingshan next to him wanted to laugh. He brought the cigarette back to the old party secretary from the county.

   I don’t know if Grandpa Party Secretary is really not used to smoking, or is he just showing off?

  While smoking a cigarette, old man Ding chatted with the old branch secretary: "Old Zhang, I heard that you Jiapigou did a good job last year. You are building a greenhouse and raising pigs. It has become a thousand yuan village?"

  Someone also interjected: "That's right, our village branch secretary and team leader came back from Jiapigou to learn scriptures, and this year they are also busy raising pigs and building greenhouses."

  A person in front of the line gave way to the old party secretary: "Why don't you sell mountain products first, my family belongs to the commune, don't worry, you came here on foot, it's quite a long way."

  The old branch secretary waved his hands with a smile: "You come first, we have a little too much mountain goods, and it will delay your time."

  The man looked at the bags in the hands of Liu Qingshan and the others, and thought to himself: It seems that there are not many?

   Those who have sold the mountain goods are not in a hurry to leave, they are all talking here eagerly, thinking about the income of the mountain goods this year, as long as they run around the mountain frequently, it should be very easy to get one or two hundred yuan.

  Finally, it was almost Jiapigou's turn. Captain Zhang said to a staff member, "Our cars are all outside, can you open the gate?"

   It was pulled by a carriage, so it must be quite a lot, right?

  The staff didn't dare to be negligent. They found the key and opened the door. Sure enough, two carriages came in first, and then suddenly, the owner of the carriage followed behind with a small four-wheeler.

  Finally, when Zhang Liandi came in with the Da Jiefang, the people in the yard stared straight at him.

  The old man Ding swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, and then said: "Old, old Zhang, how many wild goods have you bought?"

  The old branch secretary took another sip of the small cigarette pouch: "Not much, it's all dried mushrooms and fungus. Last spring, I was busy farming, and I didn't pick wild vegetables."

   Is this still not much?

   Everyone looked at the bulging sacks unloaded from the car, and there was only one thought in their minds: Why is the gap so big?

   Not only them, but even the staff were stunned there.

  They also never imagined that on the first day of opening, there will be a big sale.

   "Master, please wait."

  Liu Qingshan gently reminded the two masters.

   "Ah, yes, hurry up and wait, it will probably be busy for a while now."

  The two old masters came back to their senses and began to look at the goods seriously.

  The owner of the car took a small book and recorded it for each household.

   It took more than two hours of hard work to collect this batch of mountain goods.

  During this process, dozens of sellers of mountain goods came one after another, and they all looked at it enviously, and kept asking.

   After the accounts were settled, these mountain goods were sold for nearly 15,000 yuan in total.

  In the yard of the supply and marketing cooperative, the frying pan exploded all of a sudden, and many people's eyes were red: 15,000!

   "Awesome, you are still the best in Jiapigou!"

  Old man Ding gave a thumbs up, completely convinced in his heart, their Dingjiagou is in the mountains, but unfortunately they don't have this vision.

  Someone beside him also praised: "Jiapigou is really a master. In the long run, it should make people rich."

  The group of people from Jiapigou all set their sights on Liu Qingshan, full of pride in their hearts: This is our expert in Jiapigou!

  Liu Qingshan didn’t want Jiapigou to be too public, so he smiled and said to everyone:

   "Actually, it's nothing. This year the county has opened up the collection of mountain products. Everyone must sell more mountain products this year than we do."

   Hearing these words, everyone was happy, and the jealousy that had just emerged was all dissipated, and what was left was only hope for a better future.

   After chatting for a few more words, the people from Jiapigou surrounded the owner of the car and went to the accounting room to settle the accounts.

  Uncle Boss was holding a lot of bills in his hand, and walked in the middle with his head held high. Captain Zhang kept urging:

   "Boss, hold on to the notes tightly, and don't let the strong wind blow them away."

   "If you blow me away, you can't ask the note to blow me away."

  The boss uncle put on a posture of asking for money rather than life, which made everyone laugh. The smile on his face is really happy.

  But after arriving at the accounting room, I was a little embarrassed: I didn't expect such a big business to come on the first day of the acquisition, so the cash I prepared was not enough.

  The directors of the supply and marketing cooperatives all came and discussed with the old party secretary: "Secretary Zhang, why don't you put the note in your hands first, anyway, the wild vegetables are coming down soon, so how about a piece?"

  The old branch secretary's eyes widened when he heard it: "I'll call you an IOU, that's not allowed!"
