Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

"Little girl, what's in the fish basket?"

Director Chen asked expectantly.

Xu Qing heard the expectation in Director Chen's words, and felt happy. She pushed the fish basket forward and said, "Squid."

"Let me see how big it is."

Director Chen stretched out his head to take a look, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "It's so big. It's bigger than the last one. I'm afraid it weighs ten kilograms."

Xu Qing said: "There is no scale, but it's almost the same."

"Little girl, can you sell this turtle to me?" Director Chen said without waiting for Xu Qing to sell it.

Xu Qing felt happy, "Okay."

How could she refuse such a good thing?

"Little girl, how much do you think this turtle will cost?" Director Chen asked with a worried look on his face.

These days, he also tried to buy turtles in the market, but not only were there few turtles on the market, but they were also small in size, only one or two pounds, which was far worse than what Xu Qing sold him.

"It's still the same price as last time. This turtle weighs about 10 pounds. Just give me 15 yuan."

Xu Qing said.

Director Chen agreed wholeheartedly, "Okay, but I still don't have that much money with me today, so let's just use the tickets to deduct it."

"sure!"

Xu Qing nodded in agreement without hesitation.

In this era, you not only need money to buy things, but you also need tickets. Some scarce things are useless even if you have enough money without tickets.

In the end, the two happily reached a deal.

Xu Qing waved and said goodbye to Director Chen.

And she had ten more yuan in her hand, as well as half a catty of sugar stamps, twenty catties of food stamps, and three catties of meat stamps. In addition, there were a few cigarette stamps, which was a great harvest.

Looking at Director Chen, he also looked happy, as if he had taken a big advantage.

This transaction can be said to be satisfactory to both parties.

Xu Qing originally had a total of eight yuan and eighty cents with her. She spent two yuan on the turtle from the fishing old man, leaving six and eight yuan left. Now she sold the turtle back for ten yuan, and she had a total of sixteen yuan and eighty cents, as well as various tickets. It can be said that It is a deep wealth.

The turtles were sold, and Xu Qing felt relieved. When passing by the department store, she hesitated for a moment, then walked into the mall, and finally bought two packs of large front doors for thirty-four cents a pack. The two packs cost her a total of sixty-eight cents. Split the money.

Not many people can afford a large front door these days.

Xu Qing walked to the front door of the county government with two bags in her arms.

"Little girl, who are you looking for?"

Not everyone can enter the county government. As soon as Xu Qing approached, she was stopped by the guard.

Xu Qing smiled sweetly, took out the cigarette and gave it to the guard, "Uncle, come on, have a cigarette first."

The doorman glanced at the cigarette case in Xu Qing's hand, and wow, it turned out to be the front door.

Seeing Xu Qing's appearance, the guard knew that the latter must be asking for something. He did not take the cigarette immediately, but asked businesslikely: "Little girl, you haven't said who you are looking for yet. If you don't tell me, I will I won’t let you in.”

"Uncle, I'm looking for Secretary Ye Chenye."

Xu Qing continued to laugh.

The guard showed a look of surprise. He immediately looked Xu Qing up and down. Although the clothes on his body were clean, there were many puddings. Even though Xu Qing was not from the countryside, he was still in a difficult situation in the city. How could such a person know Secretary Ye? Woolen cloth?

You must know that Ye Chen is the secretary of the county magistrate.

It is said that Secretary Ye has a background in the city, otherwise he would not be able to serve as secretary to the county magistrate at such a young age. Although his official position is not high, many deputy county magistrates greet Secretary Ye with a smile when they see him.

"What are you doing with Secretary Ye?"

The guard asked warily.

He couldn't let a stranger in. If Xu Qing went in and caused trouble, his job would be over.

"Uncle, it's like this. I'm here to deliver lunch boxes to Secretary Ye. My name is Xu Qing. You call him and tell him that Xu Qing is here to deliver lunch boxes to him." Xu Qing took out the two aluminum lunch boxes that were carried on her back. Said to the guard.

The guard looked at Xu Qing suspiciously, then said "Wait a moment", then walked into the guard room and dialed the number of the county magistrate's secretary's office.

Xu Qing waited nervously outside the guard door.

She watched the movements of the doorman nervously through the glass, and saw that after the doorman made two calls in a row, no one answered. When she called the third time, the call was finally answered.

1 minute later.

The guard guard walked out of the guard room and said to Xu Qing: "Little girl, Secretary Ye has accompanied the county magistrate out this morning."

Xu Qing's heart sank and she quickly asked: "Then when will he come back?"

The guard uncle said: "I am just a guard. I don't know anything about the leadership."

Xu Qing's heart sank to the bottom.

If she couldn't see Accountant Ye today, then her trip would have been in vain.

Although she made a fortune by selling turtles, the main purpose of her trip was not this.

"Uncle, you smoke."

Xu Qing smiled reluctantly, and then handed the cigarette to the guard again.

This time, the guard did not refuse and took the cigarette handed over by Xu Qing, "Girl, how about you give me the lunch box. When Secretary Ye comes back, I will give him the lunch box for you. What do you think of this method?" ?”

The eater has a short mouth and smoked Xu Qing's cigarettes, so the guard wanted to help Xu Qing.

but.

Xu Qing walked a long way up the mountain not just to deliver lunch boxes.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle. I, I'd better wait outside the door."

Seeing Xu Qing's refusal, the guard didn't force it and said, "That's up to you."

Xu Qing sat under a big tree at the entrance of the county government and watched everyone entering and leaving the county government.

Before I knew it, an hour passed.

Xu Qing was already hungry, her chest pressed against her back.

My throat was so dry that it was almost smoking.

But she still didn't leave.

Another hour passed.

Xu Qing walked to the guard room with a glimmer of hope and said to the guard, "Uncle, please call again and see if Secretary Ye is back."

The county government has more than one gate.

There is also a side door.

Xu Qing could not guarantee whether Secretary Ye would enter the county government through the side door.

With that said, Xu Qing handed over another cigarette.

After taking the cigarette, the doorman made a call. Soon, the call was answered. The doorman spoke a few words to the person on the other end of the phone, then hung up the phone and said, "Girl, Secretary Ye hasn't come back yet. How about you come back tomorrow?"

……

A military green jeep drove slowly down the street.

In 1976, county leaders generally traveled by Jeep. The Santana, as it became known to later generations, was not produced in China until 1983 and then put into use.

There were three people in the jeep.

A driver.

A middle-aged man with eyes.

One is a young man in his early twenties. This person is Ye Chen, whom Xu Qing has longed for.

The middle-aged man is the head of a county in Shunhe County, the head of Tang County.

"Xiaochen, are you still used to life in the county?"

County Magistrate Tang, who was leaning on his chair and taking a break, suddenly asked.
