1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 95 Look, it's Xiao Su who cares about us
Hou Guozhong smiled.

He knew that what Su Wenchen said was true.

Collective industries have the advantages of collective industries. There is no need to complete plans, and they are responsible for their own profits and losses. It’s okay to take a few more bites.

However, state-owned industries have their own advantages. The fact that everything is taken care of by the state is attractive enough.

Even if Director Song hated him, he could only kick him out in the name of exchange and learning.

Instead of firing him directly.

Here, Su Wenchen and others left first with the chickens.

Hou Guozhong and Zhao Wuniu watched Su Wenchen leave.

"Wuniu, I heard everything you said in front of the chicken coop just now."

After hearing Hou Guozhong's words, Zhao Wuniu felt a little aggrieved.

"Master, I'm sorry, I... I don't know what's going on, I just feel like I can't talk to them anymore!"

Hou Guozhong waved his hand.

"You don't have to tell me, go tell your friends, your brigade's chicken farm is different from our state-owned chicken farm."

"Our Shiquan Chicken Farm is a state-owned chicken farm, backed by the country, so we just need to stay close to the surrounding brigades."

"Your collective industry is different. Your feed, manpower and material resources are all obtained from the brigade, so the profits naturally belong to everyone."

"Especially your farm manager Su. I don't know where he got it from, but he actually came up with a set of chicken farm management methods."

“So you feel more like workers and less like farmers, right?”

Zhao Wuniu opened his mouth.

But there was no sound of rebuttal.

"Okay, you don't have to worry about it. I was like this when I was admitted to Shiquan Chicken Farm. We are young after all!"

"Learn more from your Director Su in the future. Say what you want to say to the right person, and don't show it when you're unhappy."

"I can see that Xiao Su is actually a little unhappy today. I guess he will take action to clean up the chicken farm after the summer harvest."

"You have to have some idea in your mind."

Zhao Wuniu became a little anxious when he heard this.

"Master, how is the manager going to rectify this? Is he going to replace someone? What should I do then?"

What Zhao Wuniu fears most now is being forced to go back to work.

Because during the past few months at the chicken farm, not only did he eat well, but the work was also not that tiring. Especially since he was one of the first batch to come in, he was already considered a small leader.

Having already experienced power, what he fears most now is losing this tiny bit of power.

Hou Guozhong shook his head.

"Who knows? Your director is as cunning as a sieve. Who knows what he is going to do?"

"However, if you work harder and pay more attention to the chicken farm, you won't be replaced. After all, you are all experienced people."

At this time, at the threshing ground.

Large stoves have been set up by the members.

Several large iron pots were also carried out from the brigade warehouse by the members.

Next to the stove, chopped potatoes and chopped chicken were placed in large wooden basins.

Su Wenchen was also pouring oil into each pot.

Some people in the team felt heartbroken when they saw how Su Wenchen used the oil.

If Su Wenchen had done this right after traveling through time, someone would have come to stop him.

Even if it’s the brigade’s oil, it can’t be made like this!

But after this period of development, Su Wenchen has successfully demonstrated his ability to lead everyone to a good life.

People have always been very tolerant of the strong.

So the style of painting changed immediately.

"Look, it's Xiao Su who really cares about us. Just by pouring some oil, the dish will be extremely fragrant."

"That's right. In my opinion, the leaders of the brigade before were all like misers, and they were all young. Look at the change of people, and life is getting better day by day."

These words made Su's father and others beside him so angry that their noses were crooked.

It's as if they all embezzled money.

To be honest, the brigade’s chicken farm can only generate profits now, so it’s no big deal to eat a little more.

If it weren't for this benefit, he would have gone up to stop Su Wenchen.

"Stab!"

After the chicken is put into the pot.

A rich aroma immediately floated over the threshing floor.

So the members gathered around the stoves and sniffed hard.

Even He Feihuai sniffed.

"Lao Su, your team must be willing to spend so much money. This meal must have consumed two kilograms of oil!"

He smacked his lips and said this.

"I'm here for the right reason. In the past, your team always ate at our commune's canteen. Now it's finally my turn to eat at yours."

At this moment, Director Zeng, who came along, started to gossip about He Feihuai again.

Big brother.

Could you please do something serious?

Have you forgotten what you are here for? Why are you constantly looking into the pot?
Didn’t we agree to talk about it after we take the photos?

The meat is already stewed, and you haven't mentioned it yet? Are you planning to wait until after dinner when people start to kick people out to talk about it?

Sensing Director Zeng's little move, He Feihuai suddenly remembered.

It was because the dish smelled so good that he almost forgot about it.

Director Zeng, as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, is compared with He Feihuai. Although both of them are at the administrative level of 16 and receive the treatment of a section chief, his additional welfare benefits are definitely much more than He Feihuai's.

Supply and marketing cooperatives deal with all kinds of materials every day, and there is a lot of profit to be made just from a single pass of business.

So although we don’t eat chicken and the like every day, we can still eat them frequently.

The situation in the commune was much worse.

Because they mainly deal with members of each brigade, and the brigades below are all extremely poor. As a commune secretary, he has basically no benefits unless he has some crooked ideas.

I remembered the main purpose of my coming here this time.

Just at this time, Su Wenchen came over. "Well, Xiao Su, let me introduce you. This is Director Zeng from the county supply and marketing cooperative. I heard that their employees came here to talk nonsense, so I came here to apologize to you."

After hearing what He Feihuai said.

Su Wenchen habitually put on a smile on his face.

"Director Zeng, right? Welcome! Welcome! But there's no need to apologize. We didn't lose anything!"

Su Wenchen couldn't make up his mind about what the other party wanted to do, so he spoke very politely.

Besides, he was not quite sure what He Feihuai’s attitude was towards this matter.

After hearing what Su Wenchen said, Director Zeng immediately walked out and held Su Wenchen's hand.

"Director Su, I'm really sorry to have caused you trouble earlier. It's all because of our supply and marketing cooperative's poor management. As an apology, we still have seven or eight pieces of defective cloth in our warehouse."

"Today I saw our members taking photos wearing new clothes, and many of them were cotton-padded clothes. Our supply and marketing cooperative is selling this batch of defective cloth for 20 cents per foot without tickets, so our members can also get a new piece of clothing."

Su Wenchen was shocked when he heard this.

My goodness! The other party must be bleeding heavily!

He knew that in that era, cloth was also one of the hard currencies, and until after the reform and opening up, cloth was in a state of extreme shortage.

In many rural families, clothes are passed down like a tradition, with the eldest child wearing them, then the second child, and then the third child.

Therefore, this kind of defective cloth that does not require a ticket is very popular in the rural market, not to mention the price is so low. Normal cloth not only requires a cloth ticket, but the lowest price is at least three or four cents per foot.

This kind of cloth that does not require a ticket generally does not appear on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative.

It was basically divided privately among employees.

Then you can use it yourself or add some money and sell it to relatives, friends, neighbors, etc.

Even so, many people rushed to grab this kind of cloth.

The main reason is the extreme shortage of cloth coupons in rural areas.

Now that they have thrown such a big pie to me, if I ask you to simply apologize, even a fool would not believe it!
However, after hearing Director Zeng's words, although Su Wenchen was still able to hold on, the others around him were shocked.

After all, this is cloth that doesn’t require a ticket!
There were still seven or eight rolls of cloth that didn't require a ticket. How many new clothes could be made with this? Perhaps not enough for each person in the team to get one, but it would definitely be more than enough for each household to get one, and there would be some left over.

However, Su Wenchen did not say anything, and neither did anyone else. They just stared at Su Wenchen eagerly.

Su Wenchen naturally saw the looks of the members, but he did not directly agree or refuse.

"Director Zeng, if you don't explain clearly to us, we would be a little hesitant to accept such a big gift!"

"If you don't know, you might think you're going to buy all the eggs from our chicken farm!"

Hearing Su Wenchen's tentative words.

Director Zeng patted his chest.

"Director Su, let's be frank. Our supply and marketing cooperative is indeed short of eggs. Many members are not sending them to our supply and marketing cooperative anymore. They are just waiting for the buyers from the factories in the city to come and collect them!"

"We can't stop it, and there's no way to stop it!"

"So we can only count on you. If nothing else, at least you have to give us enough to supply those important units in the county!"

When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately understood what Director Zeng meant.

Obviously, in recent times, a gap has been opened at the county guesthouse.

When other units in some counties discovered that the supply and marketing cooperatives were often out of stock, they bypassed the cooperatives and sent people directly to purchase eggs from them.

Su Wenchen didn't care about these things, but Director Zeng was under a lot of pressure.

They are a supply and marketing cooperative, but they can't even supply materials to their sister units. How do their leaders view them?

After knowing Director Zeng’s thoughts.

Su Wenchen felt that if the other party's price was right, he could transfer this share to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Because he was actually unwilling to serve on the purchases for these county government agencies.

None of them has any money at all, but they look down on others every day. If you don’t know, you would think that the leaders of their unit are here to make purchases.

If it weren't for the money, Su Wenchen wouldn't bother with them.

However, although Su Wenchen thought it was okay, the prerequisite was that the money could not be less.

So he said it directly.

"Director Zeng, there is no problem in transferring this part of the purchase share to you, but what about this money?"

Director Zeng patted his chest.

"Don't worry, we'll just follow your agreed price, and we'll talk to them about the rest!"

Su Wenchen nodded.

"That's no problem. In fact, if the people you came last time had said the same thing, we would have agreed a long time ago. After all, we don't like to argue with a bunch of county departments."

Director Zeng slapped his thigh and said regretfully.

"You don't know. When I went back to check, I found that this kid has a lot of problems. I heard that every time he went downstairs to purchase things, the prices he brought back were very low."

"It turns out that this guy deliberately used the name of our supply and marketing cooperative to lower the price in various ways, making threats both overtly and covertly."

"Don't worry, I'll just send that kid to move the goods."

Regarding Director Zeng’s words.

Su Wenchen just listened casually. He didn't believe that Director Zeng knew nothing about it. He probably just pretended not to know on purpose.

Anyway, it is the supply and marketing cooperatives that benefit.

If something goes wrong, he can send someone else to take the blame, and he himself will remain innocent.

But it had nothing to do with him.

As long as the money made by their team was not less, he was not willing to make things too awkward with the supply and marketing cooperative.

In addition, the other party asked the commune secretary to act as a peacemaker and gave the members such a large number of benefits, so Su Wenchen would naturally give him face.

Because these seven or eight pieces of defective cloth were nothing to those in the supply and marketing cooperative who had no shortage of cloth.

But for their team, it was really a timely relief.

As we chatted, it gradually got dark.

The aroma of chicken began to waft from the stove.

The members all carried their own utensils and lined up to wait for their meals.

And while waiting in the queue, they were still whispering to each other, chatting and sharing their joy of the day.

Because today not only could they eat meat, but their team also welcomed its first tractor.

The members have never let Su Wenchen down when it comes to passing on information. Before they even had their meal, what Su Wenchen had just said to Director Zeng was immediately spread among the majority of the members.

When they thought about having new clothes, many people suddenly felt that even the harvest work that was just around the corner was not so hard.
