Chapter 85 Purchasing 20,000 Jin Roasted Seeds
In 1981, money was quite valuable, and the soaring price of goods was in the following years, so the price was not expensive.
Especially before the Chinese New Year, the price of melon seeds and peanuts should have increased slightly. The retail price of the supply and marketing cooperative is 3 cents and 5 cents, and peanuts are 4 cents.
So Nian Guangjiu is definitely making small profits but quick turnover. Of course, Nian Guangjiu's cost is lower than that of state-owned factories.
"Master Nian is really good. I don't bargain. I'll wait for you in Wuhu for 3 days. I'll load the goods in 3 days. But then, please ask Master Nian to hire a few big trucks to deliver them outside the city. I will pay the car money myself."
The two of them were quickly concluded, Nian Guangjiu didn't need any deposit, so he directly asked the employees to start working overtime to speculate.
After Chen Xia came out of the melon seed factory, she found a hotel and stayed in, preparing to make salted fish for 3 days.
As a foodie, when you go to a place, of course you have to eat some local specialty food, except for "cow dung hotpot", which tastes too heavy.
Wuhu’s specialty food should be “Yangtze River Sword Fish”. This food that is said to be nearly 10,000 per pound in decades is certainly not to be missed by a big foodie like Chen Xia.
The season is not the most delicious time for swordfish. Chen Xia doesn’t care about this. The swordfish in the early 1980s were ordinary fishermen and could be eaten at any restaurant.
After tasting it, it tastes fresh enough, but it has a lot of thorns.
Chen Xia is not very good at vomiting thorns. He was often stuck when eating fish in his previous life. Even his colleagues in the otolaryngology department were very familiar with him.
However, his dislike of eating does not mean that he wants to let go of this "soft gold in the water". Anyway, it won't break even if it is placed in the space. So he bought it directly from the fishermen at the riverside wharf, and purchased a total of more than 2,000 kilograms of knife fish in two days.
The price of one pound is equivalent to two eggs, 40 cents, and later one pound is nearly 10,000. The difference is so smacking and making a fortune.
After three days of waiting, Nian Guangjiu equipped the goods according to Chen Xia's requirements, 50 pounds per bag and 20,000 pounds of melon seeds and peanuts a little.
Chen Xia looked at the roasted goods like a hill, and had to sigh that Nian Guangjiu was also a real god.
"How is it, Section Chief Chen, you haven't wasted your time."
"Brother, I sincerely admire you. I believe we will meet again in the future."
Faced with a small fan, Nian Guangjiu was in a very good mood.
He was just a self-employed person. Although he was rich in this era, he was looked down upon and despised by his profession, and even was thrown into prison again and again. Only he himself knew the bitterness.
Every pioneer is lonely.
So it is impossible for Nian Guangji to be moved by this cadre from another province in front of him to admire him so much, and he even feels like a "confidant".
The two of them held each other tightly, and everything was silent.
It is a super trouble for others to transport so much roasted goods from Huiqing Province to Zhijiang Province, but for Chen Xia, it is just a matter of waving his hand.
I clapped my hands and went back to Yuezhou. I got the spoiled goods and crossed out one.
Chen Xia was in a good mood and bought a lot of salted ducks when he was transferring to Jinling. As expected, the big foodie was thinking about eating wherever he left.
After Gu Lin was crying, making a fuss and hanging at home, Dean Gu had to agree that his baby daughter would go to Zhoushan Islands to buy seafood with Chen Xia.
But Old Man Gu was still worried, so he secretly instructed the two young nurses who went with Wang Hongjuan and Kong Zhenzhen that he must not let Gu Lin and Chen Xia be alone, especially at night.
It seems that this old man has no confidence in his baby daughter, and has reached the point of being strictly guarded. He feels sorry for his father in the world.
Chen Xia went out for 6 days and finally returned to Kezhen. It was already mid-January 1981, and there were 12 days left before the New Year.
Chen Chun finally had winter vacation, and her three young followers also came because their homes were all in a distant province, and it took several days to get home by train. Moreover, the train ticket of a few dozen yuan per trip was not something that they, the children of poor families, could afford.
In this era, I went to college for a few years, and most poor students didn't go home.
In previous years, I lived in the dormitory, and the school would prepare a New Year’s Eve dinner for them on New Year’s Eve. But this year, the rich woman Chen Chun, appeared in the dormitory, so they were preparing to beat the rich.
Chen Chun’s family has food and drinks, and the house is big. The key is that there are no elders at home and only one younger brother whom they can bully, so they are very relaxed and happy.
He even regarded the Chen Chun family as his second home.
Now, when Chen Xia returned home, the four female college students were like a few happy little butterflies, wiping the glass, sweeping the floor, and washing the sheets, all of whom were busy and happy.
"Oh, I almost thought I had gone to the wrong door, why did four snail girls appear at home?"
As soon as Chen Xia entered the door, he saw the future Academician Chen stepping on a ladder and sweeping spider webs. He was very happy. The deserted plum garden was finally lively.
Chen Chun was also quite surprised: "Second, are you back?"
"Sister, give me some face in front of so many beauties. What a second child, please call me Deputy Section Chief Chen."
"Hahaha, Chen Xia, you are so funny, why don't you let us call you Dean Chen?"
Fang Meizhen smiled while washing the sheets.
Suddenly, a red work permit appeared in front of Fang Meizhen's eyes.
"Beautiful Fang, come and read these words with my brother. The Fourth Hospital of Yuezhou District, with his name Chen Xia, and his position as deputy chief of the General Affairs Department."
"Wow, are you really the deputy section chief?"
Chen Xia raised his chin proudly: "To be precise, he is the acting section chief, who is in charge of the overall work."
The four female college students immediately snatched their work permits and then chattered about the status of the General Affairs Department in the hospital and the level of the deputy section chief.
Finally, we came to a conclusion: we should celebrate it.
Chen Xia didn’t have much else now, and there was a lot of beef, so another beef hotpot was prepared. Just as he was slicing meat, a girl ran in from outside the door.
"Chen Xia, Chen Xia..."
Chen Chun came out and saw that he was an old acquaintance.
"Gu Lin, are you looking for Chen Xia? He is in the kitchen and is eating meat."
Zhan Aiju and the others next to him went gossip in an instant, "Hey, do you think this little girl is Chen Xia's girlfriend?"
Chen Chun thought after hearing this.
Gu Lin didn't have any idea of avoiding suspicion in her mind, so she rushed into the kitchen:
"Chen Laoer, my dad has promised me to go to Zhoushan Islands with you. Hehe, when will we set off? I can't wait."
"Hey, why did Comrade Old Gu suddenly figure it out? Isn't you afraid of sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Which island should I sell his precious daughter to?"
"Hmph, you dare, my elder brother and second brother are officers. Be careful to use cannons to knock you into pieces. Hey, you are eating beef hotpot today. It just so happens that I'm hungry. You can eat more slices, and I like to eat tenderloin the most."
Chen Xia gave her a blank look, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and set up the dishes and help me call out the two little guys. They have been sitting for a day, but I don't know that my eyes hurt."
"Okay!"
