Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

Although I was extremely busy, selling it retail by the pound like this earned me forty or fifty yuan more than selling it in bulk to the canteen.

In the countryside, this is almost equivalent to two months' income for an average villager.

Before long, nearly 300 pounds of wild boar meat were sold out, leaving only the hideous wild boar head.

"This thing won't sell well, so I'll just have to take it back to feed the wolves."

Each wild boar has some parts that are hard to sell, but nothing goes to waste; the wolves eat any meat they can get.

Chen Yongqiang was bending down to pack up his stall when a furious rebuke suddenly came from the entrance of the distillery:

"Xiao Li! How many times have I told you? Get someone to haul away the waste wine lees in the backyard! And you, you have time to buy meat here?"

The worker called Xiao Li quickly ran over, smiling obsequiously, and explained, "Section Chief Liu, I've already notified them, but the transport team said the truck broke down and is being repaired. They won't be able to come and pick it up for another two days."

"Day after day! Spring is just around the corner and the weather will be getting warmer. If the lees are piled up in the backyard, they'll ferment and stink, attracting flies and rats. Do you know how much trouble that will cause!" Section Chief Liu launched into a tirade.

"Yes, yes, Section Chief Liu, don't worry, I'll think of a way right away, I'll think of a way right away." Xiao Li didn't dare to argue and kept apologizing.

Xiao Li looked around, then had a sudden inspiration and quickly handed over the large piece of rib he had just bought:

"I bought the meat to show my respect to you, Section Chief! Look, this is genuine wild boar meat, it's very rare!"

Chen Yongqiang, who was packing up his stall, overheard every word of their conversation, and a thought struck him:

"Waste wine lees, that's a good thing."

For distilleries, it's waste to be disposed of, but if it can be taken back to the countryside, it's turning waste into treasure. Distillery lees are rich in nutrients and are excellent feed for pigs and cattle!

Section Chief Liu took the piece of spare rib, his tone still firm: "I don't care what method you use, get it done right now! If you delay any longer, you can go explain to the factory manager yourself!"

After Section Chief Liu had carried the meat away, Xiao Li slumped his shoulders and sighed heavily, "Why did I have to run into this mess?"

He originally wanted to perform well and hoped to climb the ranks by handling logistical matters properly, but now he's made a mess of things.

Seeing this as an opportunity, Chen Yongqiang packed up his stall, pushed his bicycle over, and struck up a conversation with the dejected Xiao Li:

"Comrade, I just heard that. I might be able to help you dispose of those waste distiller's grains in your factory."

"You?" Xiao Li glanced at Chen Yongqiang and his old bicycle, as if to say, what can a self-employed person like you from the countryside do?

"I have a tractor!" Chen Yongqiang said without changing his expression, as if it were the truth.

"Where are you planning to take the fermented grains?" Xiao Li wanted to get to the bottom of things; he didn't want any more mishaps.

"Take it back to the countryside to feed the pigs." Chen Yongqiang wasn't lying.

"Forget it, that thing weighs over ten tons. How long would it take your tractor to haul it?"

Chen Yongqiang handed him a cigarette: "You don't have a better solution right now, do you? As long as you agree, I'll bring the tractor over tomorrow. I guarantee I'll finish hauling it for you within a day."

"That lees weren't for you to waste." Little Li's meaning was clear.

He also wanted to gain something from it, otherwise he wouldn't have taken on this tricky job.

"I understand the rules." Chen Yongqiang understood perfectly.

"You must have some good stuff there, right?" Xiao Li gave a hint.

"I don't know what you like?" Chen Yongqiang was afraid that he wouldn't take any benefits, but now that he had asked, things would be easier to handle.

"I don't think I saw any wild boar stomach on your stall just now..." Xiao Li's words were tactful, but the meaning couldn't be clearer. Wild boar stomach is a well-known delicacy, good for the stomach and nourishing.

"I'll bring it to you tomorrow," Chen Yongqiang readily agreed.

He already has it in his space, but it's not convenient for him to conjure it out of thin air right now.

Xiao Li finally smiled and patted Chen Yongqiang's arm: "You're pretty good. Okay, come see me tomorrow."

After agreeing on a time with Xiao Li, Chen Yongqiang rode his bicycle away from the winery gate.

Although he didn't really like dealing with scheming people like Xiao Li, this collaboration was just beginning.

If the dozen or so tons of distiller's grains can be successfully transported back to the village and properly utilized, they can be used to raise a lot of livestock, which can easily earn at least several hundred yuan.

"This deal is worth doing!"

As darkness fell, today's harvest was truly excellent.

The trip to the government compound brought in four hundred yuan. The small business at the distillery gate brought in over three hundred and eighty yuan.

Chen Yongqiang finally felt reassured: "We have enough money to buy the tractor."

He went back to the same snack shop he had at noon and ate a bowl of noodles.

"We'll have to stay in the county town tonight."

Chen Yongqiang pushed his bicycle to a two-story building with a sign that read "Red Star Guesthouse".

A middle-aged woman wearing a sweater sat at the front desk. She looked up at him and asked, "Accommodation? Letter of introduction."

Chen Yongqiang took out a letter of introduction that he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it over.

The woman took it, then looked him up and down: "How many people? How many days will you stay?"

"I'll stay here for one night since I'm alone."

"A single room costs 1.2 yuan, and a bed in a four-person room costs 0.8 yuan." The woman returned the letter of introduction to him.

"Give me a private room." Chen Yongqiang didn't need to save money on this.

The woman opened a register. "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"Chen Yongqiang, from Shimen Village."

The woman wrote her name and address in the register, tore off a receipt, and handed it to him along with a key with a wooden tag attached.

"Second floor, room 207. The main door is locked at 10 PM. Hot water is available in the public bathhouse from 7 PM to 9 PM."

Chen Yongqiang took the key and went up to the second floor, where he found room 207.

The door was opened with a key. The interior was simply furnished: a wooden bed, a table, a chair, and a white porcelain basin on a washbasin stand.

He put his things down and first opened the window to ventilate the room.

"Since I've come all the way to the county town, I should get a proper bath."

In the countryside, conditions are limited, and there are no public bathhouses at all.

Chen Yongqiang picked up a white porcelain basin, draped a towel over it, and took out a change of underwear and soap from his storage space before leaving the room.

Following the signs to the west end of the first floor, I saw a door with a sign that read "Men's Bath," and I could vaguely hear the sounds of water and voices coming from inside.

He lifted the thick cotton curtain and went inside. There were two rows of faucets against the wall in the bathhouse, with cement troughs built underneath.

There were already three or four people inside washing, all naked and scrubbing their bodies.

Chen Yongqiang found an empty faucet, put the basin down, and took off his clothes, hanging them on a hook next to it.

He turned on the tap, and warm water cascaded down, splashing onto his body. He let out a long sigh of relief. "That feels so good!"
