Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Sir, isn't it dangerous?"

The black market also exists in Beijing, or rather, it has existed for a long time.

But Cao Wei never allowed Cao Leyao or his family members to go to this place.

Cao Leyao had some memories of when she was little. It was Qin Jingru who wanted to go to the black market to see what she had to offer, and then she was scolded by Cao Wei. She cried aggrievedly, and then when Qin Huairu came back, she was scolded again. In the end, Cao Wei coaxed Qin Jingru for a long time before she calmed down. During that period, Qin Jingru would rub Cao Leyao's face whenever she had nothing to do, and she was angry.

During that period, Cao Leyao felt that her face had become bigger.

What a headache, mother.

At that time, she didn't understand why the black market was dangerous, so she went to ask her father.

Cao Wei then explained to her that the black market was a place where gangs robbed gangs. In the 60s, people in the courtyard had to go there. They had to organize the entire courtyard's staff and bring weapons, but only then did they dare to go.

My mother's desire to go for a stroll is too outrageous.

Therefore, she was opposed to this matter.

"Hey, don't worry. The black market here is actually allowed by the farm. It is controlled by the elders of the nearby villages. Anyone who dares to start a business in the black market will suffer." Grandpa Hong explained to Cao Leyao cheerfully.

"Oh." Cao Leyao nodded: "I'll go take a look when I have time."

She didn't believe it and had to go back and ask Lou Xiao'e before going to check it out.

After buying some fruits, I left Uncle Hong's place.

Then, she started to walk around the town. To her surprise, the town was small but complete with almost everything. She even saw some second-hand electrical appliances, such as televisions and radios.

It seems that the consumption level in this small town is not too low.

After walking around and feeling a little hungry, she walked towards the farm. Before getting off the car, Lou Xiao'e told her where her home was.

It's in the residential area near the farm.

After asking for directions, it was not difficult to find the villa area that looked somewhat special.

This type of villa is not uncommon in Hong Kong and also in Old Beijing. Two-story villas were popular for a while.

Just as I was about to go in, I was stopped by the security guard at the door.

"Comrade, please show me your ID."

"Oh, okay." Cao Leyao took out the certificate given to her by Lou Xiaoe from her backpack.

The security guard took it, looked at it, and saluted Cao Leyao: "Comrade, Director Lou mentioned to me that your house is at the end of this road, that's the building."

"Um, comrade, why is there a security department here?" Cao Leyao was a little curious.

This is a residential area, why is there a security office? Moreover, there are not only two-story townhouses here, but also multi-story residential buildings.

"Oh, this is..."

The two haven't communicated much yet.

A voice came from behind.

"Le Yao?"

Cao Leyao looked back and was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Professor Bai.

"Professor!" The security guard also saluted Professor Bai.

"Xiao Li, go ahead and do your thing. I'll take her in."

"Row!"

"Professor, why are you here?"

"How else could you be here? I was tricked by your father into coming here." Professor Bai sighed, "Over the years, I don't know what happened to most of my favorite students, but they all ran here. In the end, I came here by myself, and I actually like this place."

"Ah? All your disciples are here?" Cao Leyao was completely stunned.

In fact, Professor Bai is not only responsible for the affairs of the Sijiucheng breeding farm.

The higher-ups might not be willing to support his research for the time being due to funding issues, but they still recognized Professor Bai's knowledge. So, he didn't just do research, he also had to teach students. But it was troublesome to go back and forth, so he simply taught graduate students to train the next generation of farmers and spread his ideas.

Therefore, there were many top students from the Agricultural University in that small farm in Sijiu City, and they became the target of Cao Wei.

"What are you thinking about?" Professor Bai said happily, "Of the graduates from my school, 70% to 80% went to other places to build the motherland. Of those who came here, only 20% to 30% came."

What he just said was a favorite disciple, not an ordinary disciple.

Cao Wei's eyes were very poisonous, and with the help of Bang Geng, he was able to dig people out with great enthusiasm, wielding the hoe.

"Two or three percent is pretty impressive."

"You're praising your father." Professor Bai smiled gently, "However, he does deserve praise for some things. After I came here, many of my disciples showed me the life here. I have to say, he really did a good job..."

"What's good about it?" Lou Xiao'e patted her face. She was applying a facial mask. This mask was handmade by Cao Wei. Since the medical skills had reached a high level, making a facial mask was not a simple matter.

"See those residential areas outside?"

"what?"

"Every researcher who comes to work here starts with a salary of 500 yuan a month. As long as they are willing to stay, they can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. This figure should increase significantly in the next few years as inflation arrives."

It’s the same old routine.

Cao Wei has always used the same three methods to poach people: using money, using treatment, and using the environment.

Money, needless to say.

The benefits, five social insurances and one housing fund have been arranged in place. You should know that the country does not have such a concept as five social insurances and one housing fund yet.

The environment is not only the residential environment, but also the scientific research environment.

At present, most of the research institutes in the country are in tatters and are still in the manual calculation stage. In addition, as "compradors" gradually take shape, the living environment has become increasingly difficult.

Another point is that intellectual property rights are not taken very seriously.

For most patents, there is no concept of application at all. Whoever likes it can use it.

This results in the status of this group of people not being as high as imagined.

"With enough money, room for development, and a means to survive, most people will focus on their own future development. And their development is tied to the farm."

In this turbulent society, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than ensuring one's own needs and spiritual needs.

It is difficult to say, but it is also not difficult to say.

"You can go out and take a look." Lou Xiao'e gave Cao Leyao a suggestion: "Then draw your own conclusions based on what you see."

No matter what Cao Wei said, Lou Xiao'e wanted to have a successor in the family.

Lou Xiao'e could see clearly that Cao Xiucheng was going the medical route, while her own silly roe deer looked like Qin Jingru and was not very suitable for the job.
