Under the scorching sun, Chang Kun pushed his cart and finally arrived in the city.
Wiping away his sweat, he thought for a moment and decided to take the two antelopes to the local street office.
Director Wang of the neighborhood office is the aunt of the wife of the brother of my older sister's husband.
If we move around more, maybe we can arrange housing for my mother sooner when she moves to the city.
The supply and marketing cooperative just delivered wild boars and now they're delivering wild rabbits, enough to feed them for several days.
When he arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood office, the old man guarding the gate saw him pushing two blue sheep and let him in without asking any questions.
These days, those who deliver meat to your door are literally your providers.
*Knock knock knock!*
"Please come in!"
"Director Wang."
"Ah, it's Chang Kun, right? Come in and sit down. Just call me Auntie, we're relatives." Of course they're relatives, distant relatives.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Aunt Wang. I caught two blue sheep and came over to ask about them..." Chang Kun got straight to the point.
"What? A blue sheep?" Director Wang's polite smile immediately turned into surprise. She hadn't seen a blue sheep for many years. These animals weren't farmed; you had to hunt them to see them.
"Where is he? Let's go see him!" She stood up abruptly from the chair behind her desk. Tomorrow was August 1st, and she wanted to visit her old boss, but she didn't have anything nice to give him.
What he had, his former boss had no shortage of; and he couldn't get his hands on anything even rarer.
If it really is a blue sheep, then my problem can be solved!
Thinking of this, she quickened her pace.
In the courtyard of the subdistrict office, a crowd was gathered around Qingyang.
"Wow! This blue sheep is really fat."
"The Green Sheep is really rare; most people can't even hit it!"
"When I was a child, my family lived in the mountains, so I only saw this meat once or twice. The taste of this meat was amazing. You wouldn't believe it. You boil the meat in water for a few seconds, add some Sichuan peppercorns and coriander, and then you slurp it up..."
"Stop talking, it's making me hungry!"
"Who threw this here? Is it for us?"
"You guys are just watching the show. Didn't you see the trajectory? One shot killed two sheep. That's a pro!"
When Director Wang walked over, a group of people from the street office had already gathered around Qingyang, discussing whether Qingyang meat was better for hot pot or braised.
"Go away, go away! This was given to me by my nephew. Are you trying to steal it?" Director Wang waved his hand, trying to drive the crowd away.
"Hey, Director, everyone gets a share. You can't possibly finish it all yourself, so how much do you want to sell it to? Just tell me."
"Exactly, exactly. They didn't even give us any meat as part of the August 1st welfare program. This mutton looks pretty good."
Everyone chimed in, each wanting a bite of the mutton.
Director Wang looked around and saw that everyone around him had eager expressions on their faces. He pointed to a blue sheep and said, "One is split, and I'll keep the other. Isn't that fair?"
"Look, that's what you call a magnanimous director. No wonder he was able to become a director."
Thank you, Director!
Being able to eat meat, everyone jokingly complimented Director Wang a few times.
Director Wang squatted down and reached out to pinch the bullet holes in Qingyang's body. Seeing that it had just been killed and Qingyang was still very fresh, a smile appeared on his face. He turned to give the order:
"Xiao Tian, quickly take some people to the cafeteria, weigh it, and have Chef Li gut it. Keep one end, and you can divide the other as you see fit. Remember to leave some meat for me!"
The crowd roared with approval and applauded for Director Wang.
Seeing Chang Kun standing at the back, several people came over, gave him a thumbs up, and praised him for his hunting skills.
They wanted Chang Kun to deliver more game to the neighborhood office in the future, so he could also get some meat to eat.
Director Wang took Chang Kun back to the office.
He poured Chang Kun a glass of hot water before smiling and saying, "Little Kun, you've brought me a surprise! This green sheep must be hard to catch, right?" He had heard that the meat of this green sheep was delicious, tender and juicy, and most importantly, it was a rare find.
Chang Kun waved his hand and laughed, "It's the same in the mountains. If you encounter one, you shoot it. Whether it's a sheep, a pig, or a deer, one shot will get you two eyes."
Director Wang laughed heartily. After chatting for a while, she asked Chang Kun if there was anything he wanted. These days, the street office has a lot of power and resources.
"Aunt Wang, do you have any coupons? I'm not short of money right now, but I can't buy things without coupons."
"I have tickets, what do you need?" Director Wang said, then beckoned Chang Kun to his desk, opened a drawer, took out a large bag of tickets, and tossed it to Chang Kun.
Chang Kun's eyes lit up. The subdistrict office was really big and powerful, with so many tickets.
He flipped through a large stack of coupons, neatly bundled in small bundles. Most of them were grain coupons, but there were also cloth coupons, sugar coupons, pastry coupons, and various liquor and cigarette coupons.
Chang Kun only realized upon seeing this that at that time, alcohol and cigarette coupons were divided into Class A and Class B. In his previous life, he had never obtained alcohol or cigarette coupons.
Scrolling to the bottom, Chang Kun suddenly noticed several different tickets that weren't bundled together.
Milk powder coupons, radio coupons, bicycle coupons, watch coupons...
Chang Kun's eyes lit up; Aunt Wang really had a treasure trove here!
"Aunt Wang, where can I buy baby formula with this milk powder coupon?"
"What? You have a little baby at home who needs formula? Xiao Kun, let me tell you, you can't buy this kind of formula at all. Not only do you need formula coupons, but you also need a doctor's certificate proving that the baby is lacking nutrition. And this stuff is really not cheap."
Chang Kun nodded. These days, even food is scarce, let alone something as rare as milk powder.
He recounted how his eldest nephew, Yang Shunong's eldest grandson, had trouble defecating because he drank too much breast milk, saying, "My nephew can't defecate, so I've been thinking of getting him some formula to tide him over these past few days, so he can get less breast milk and avoid getting too much heat in his body."
Director Wang sighed. "Speaking of which, Xiao Bao is practically my grand-nephew. Here's what I'll do: I'll have someone buy two packs of milk powder." With that, he picked up two milk powder coupons and went out. He returned in less than a minute, saying that someone would bring the milk powder.
Chang Kun saw it and felt a little envious.
I remember a county magistrate in my past life once said something like this: "Power is when you have a dream one night and someone makes it come true for you the next day."
This statement truly resonates everywhere!
However, Chang Kun knew that he was not cut out to be an official; he would never learn to treat people as people and ghosts as ghosts.
Let's just live our own simple lives and be content with what we have.
Director Wang noticed that Chang Kun's eyes were constantly darting between the radio tickets and the bicycle tickets, and knew that he had his eye on those two items.
She sighed; this kid only ever picks the best stuff.
But these things are really scarce!
Even if you have a ticket, you still have to wait to buy things; without connections, you can't get the goods at all.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something.
"Xiao Kun, I remember your home isn't close to the city, is it?"
"Aunt Wang, it took me two hours to walk here in my stroller."
"Walking for two hours in this sweltering heat must be exhausting. I have something good here, do you want it?"
Chang Kun was taken aback. A good thing?
The cashier's tickets, bicycle tickets, and watch tickets he was holding were all valuable items; ordinary people simply couldn't get their hands on them.
Director Wang saw Chang Kun looking down at the large invoices in his hand, shook his head and smiled.
"Even with these tickets, you can't buy anything. These things are in high demand; you simply can't get them without connections." She paused, then lowered her voice and said:
"I have a bicycle here, do you want it?"
Chang Kun was stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with joy.
In those days, a bicycle was more dazzling than a Maybach in later generations!
Can you really trade two blue sheep for a bicycle?
This is such a wonderful surprise!
