Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

"Yes!" Yu Li's eyes were a little misty; she was looking forward to marriage.

"Oh, right!" Liu Aiguo suddenly asked, "What do you like to eat during the Chinese New Year? I'll prepare it in advance..."

Yu Li said, "Sausage!"

Liu Aiguo: …………

This……

However, he knew that the sausage Yu Li was talking about was the kind of cured sausage.

Pork belly stuffed with pig intestines and sun-dried, after repeated freezing and sun-drying, has a very unique flavor.

Liu Aiguo was naturally familiar with this thing.

He said, "No problem...I'll make it for you this afternoon!"

So, in the afternoon, Liu Aiguo directly retrieved dozens of kilograms of pork belly from the system, chopped it up, and then cleaned some pig intestines.

Yu Li was very curious about how Liu Aiguo's meat suddenly appeared.

But she didn't ask.

She had asked Liu Aiguo about his many amazing abilities before, but Liu Aiguo had told her not to ask.

She didn't ask.

Even if I'm curious, I won't ask.

"Oh..." Uncle Er asked from beside the water station, "Deputy Director Liu... are you going to eat small intestines?... These things are not easy to clean!"

Liu Aiguo chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I can handle this. You don't need to worry about it!"

Everyone thought Liu Aiguo had fallen on hard times and was going to eat pig intestines.

But when Liu Aiguo packed dozens of kilograms of sausages to the brim and hung them on the clothesline, the entire courtyard was stunned.

Meat……

Sausage!

This……

so much?

Aunt Er said in shock, "Patriotism...where did you get so much pork?!"

Liu Aiguo smiled but remained silent!

Aunt Er walked over to Liu Aiguo and whispered, "Could you give me some of this meat? I'd like some sausages too."

Liu Aiguo thought for a moment and said, "Okay... I'll give you two jin of sausages once they're dried. You can pay me then, no need for meat coupons!"

Aunt Er was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

This was because Liu Aiguo was doing it out of respect for the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

Putting everything else aside, these two boys are completely obedient to him.

Okay!

Much better than his father.

The Intermediate People's Court, the Jia family's residence!

Jia Zhangshi's triangular eyes scanned Liu Aiguo's sausages.

I'm so envious!

With so much meat, how many days would it be enough for my grandson to eat?

It can last for two months.

That damned Liu Aiguo is such a waste! He used such good meat to dry sausages?

It's important to know that the meat shrinks after the sausages are dried.

It has shrunk by at least one-third.

“This Liu Aiguo…” Qin Huairu looked on with some indignation and said, “He eats meat all the time, how come there is so much meat in his house?”

"Who gave him the hostage?"

Jia Zhangshi said, "Is there any need to ask? It's all stuff from the factory that I embezzled when I was a purchasing agent!"

"Hmph... Embezzlement, and he still became the deputy director of the cafeteria? It's outrageous... Qin Huairu, aren't you going to report him?"

Qin Huairu said, "I reported it to my mother... but it was no use. The leaders didn't take it seriously either time, and both times Liu Aiguo was promoted and rewarded instead!"

"I'll go ask him for some meat!"

Jia Zhangshi was not polite at all; she had overheard Liu Aiguo and Aunt Er's conversation.

If Aunt Er can get two jin of sausages, why can't our Jia family?

"Patriotism!"

Madam Jia Zhang moved her bound feet and came to Liu Aiguo's side...

Liu Aiguo glanced at her but ignored her.

Jia Zhangshi continued, "He loves Uncle Aiguo... he's drying sausages... you have quite a lot, it must weigh several dozen pounds!"

Liu Aiguo remained silent!

Jia Zhangshi, however, was incredibly shameless: "Aiguo...can you give me some of your meat? Just give it to me, I'll give you the market price...seven cents a pound, is that alright?"

"Give me a few kilograms!"

Liu Aiguo said calmly, "No..."

Jia Zhangshi: …………

"Then... why can you exchange for Aunt Er, but not for me?" Jia Zhangshi's face also darkened.

Liu Aiguo said, "Why? Don't you have any self-awareness? Why are you asking me... Get lost..."

Liu Aiguo was thoroughly annoyed by the Jia family.

Madam Jia's face immediately darkened.

It's as black as the bottom of a pot.

She felt she had been deeply humiliated.

"Fine... Liu Aiguo... you'll get your comeuppance, just you wait... just you wait..." Jia Zhangshi angrily returned to her room.

Qin Huairu said, "Mom... you shouldn't have begged him. He doesn't like our family!"

Jia Zhangshi said, "Do I care... Humph... That son of a bitch Liu Aiguo, he'll see. He only gets one pound of meat coupon a year, how can he get so much meat... I'm going to report him!"

Qin Huairu's eyes suddenly flickered.

In this era, meat coupons, like grain coupons, were issued by the state according to demand.

One pound of meat per person per year.

In other words, families like Qin Huairu's also have a share of six jin of meat.

Liu Aiguo only has one jin (500 grams).

This is valid for the whole year.

It's not even enough to fill a gap between your teeth, okay?

But why do you, Liu Aiguo, have dozens of kilograms of meat? Even if you started accumulating it from the day you were born, you couldn't possibly afford dozens of kilograms of meat.

The key point is that this hostage situation also has an expiration date.

Jia Zhangshi went out and headed straight for Hongxing Road.

The report was naturally submitted to the local street office.

Jia Zhangshi arrived at Director Wang's office on Hongxing Road Subdistrict.

"Director Wang... I have something to report... I want to report that someone has embezzled public meat ration coupons and bought dozens of kilograms of pork belly..."

"What?"

Upon hearing Jia Zhangshi's report, Director Wang slammed his fist on the table and stood up, exclaiming, "This is outrageous!"

Dozens of kilograms of pork belly?

so much?

"Tell me quickly...who?" Director Wang's eyes were burning.

Jia Zhangshi said, "The one in our courtyard, the one from the steel rolling mill, is named Liu Aiguo..."

amount……

As soon as Director Wang heard it was Liu Aiguo, he understood.

She had dealings with Liu Aiguo.

Moreover, when Liu Aiguo was looking for a house for Wang Zhongchen's family, he also sold them a lot of eggs and meat!

She's a little reluctant to be asked to arrest Liu Aiguo now.
