Chapter 36 Opening up sales channels

The thin slices of meat are dipped into a pot with some Chinese medicinal herbs, and they are cooked just by stirring and scooping.

There was no other dipping sauce, just a little spicy chili oil, garlic grown on the farm, and vinegar that Su Xiangyu bought from the system. It had a strong medicinal aroma. This was the flavor of the Little Fat Sheep, which was once popular all over the country.

This camel meat tasted even better than the camel steak she grilled last time.

"Zhu Xiaojie, did your boyfriend write you a letter?" Fan Yiping poked Zhu Xiaojie with his butt and pushed her against Ye Xiangdong repeatedly.

Zhu Xiaojie rolled her eyes in anger and kept dodging: "No, stop talking nonsense."

"I saw it all. It was a letter from Beijing, from the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. I saw him saying that he wanted to come and see you." Fan Yiping deliberately said loudly, "Oh, your boyfriend is still studying at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University."

Zhu Xiaojie wanted to eat meat, but didn't want to argue with Fan Yiping, so she elbowed her away and said angrily, "Can you eat properly? That's my dad, not my boyfriend. I don't have a partner now, okay?"

Her words made Su Xiangyu and Yu Weiwei raise their heads immediately, and they all said in unison: "Your father is willing to recognize you?"

Zhu Xiaojie's father Zhu Bin was a university teacher, and her mother was his original wife in Shanghai. However, Zhu Bin later fell in love with a female student and ran away to Beijing. He never returned to Shanghai until Zhu Xiaojie's mother died.

That father was nothing to Zhu Xiaojie.

"He said that people from their political department are coming to Border Town Farm to do research. Xiangyu, don't let that man come to our farm at that time. I don't want to see him." Zhu Xiaojie said as she took another piece of meat out of the pot with her chopsticks.

The Political Department of the Capital University of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers was the department led by Han Shen. Ye Xiang suddenly remembered that Han Shen had written him a letter last week, saying that he was coming to the border town.

Don't let his lawless uncle run to the border town, right?

"Hurry up and grab me a piece of meat with your chopsticks." Su Xiangyu also hit Ye Xiangdong with his elbow.

Ye Xiangdong stood on tiptoe, passed through the pairs of hands, and grabbed a chopstick from the pot.

Su Xiangyu took the meat and turned around. Mu Tie and Xiaoman were both holding their bowls, looking at it eagerly.

But she stirred the meat in her own bowl and put it into Xiaoman's bowl.

Mu Tie's anger was about to explode, and there was no meat in the pot at this time, only some cabbage leaves and sweet potato lumps floating in the pot. Ye Xiangdong picked up a planer and shave out a handful of meat rolls. After cooking, he gave it to Mu Tie before calming the child down.

"Sometimes I love my godmother very much and feel that she is just my real mother, but sometimes I hate her very much and feel that she is just pickled mustard greens." Mu Tie said hatefully while eating meat.

Love and hate, exhausted, that's how Mu Tie feels now.

Everyone was still eating meat. Su Xiangyu pretended to be polite and put away her bowl and chopsticks, then squeezed out of Feng Yueba's room.

In fact, if she hadn't gone to the grain station today, she would never have seriously thought about the large warehouse at Chaoyang Farm. After all, this matter belonged to Ji Huaiguo, not her.

But today, when she found Wang Hongming, she had to ask who was in charge of the warehouse.

"The person in charge has always been our Director Mei. The warehouse has always been under his management. As for who should do the warehouse accounts, it should be our Director Feng who does it concurrently." Wang Hongming said.

The warehouse where Feng Mingxun does accounting will probably catch fire in a few months. Not only will it be burned down, but Wang Hongming will also die in the warehouse.

There is certainly a problem here. Su Xiangyu feels that as long as she can catch the arsonist, the dog-tail pickled mustard greens problem can be solved at once.

"By the way, I heard that our Director Mei had a serious illness and is still in the hospital. After all, he is our old director. I plan to go and see him. Do you want to go?" Wang Hongming said.

Mei Gancai ran to the ranch to grab some Chinese medicine, and encountered a snowstorm on the way back. Then, he took too many tonics and finally made himself really sick. It is said that he is still lying in the county hospital with an IV drip.

But this time, no one paid for her medical expenses, she had to pay for it all herself.

"I won't go. If you go, remember to bring me a message saying that I wish her good health and a long life." Su Xiangyu said.

Wang Hongming scratched his ear and said, "Xiangyu, you are such a kind girl. If it were an ordinary person, and Director Feng had done that, it would not make their whole family have an easy life."

For some unknown reason, Su Xiangyu was given the compliment of being a good person?

Not bad, not bad.

After returning to the dormitory, she first asked for hot water from the system, washed her underwear and hung it up, and then tried using facial cleanser. Her skin felt moisturized and comfortable. Su Xiangli rubbed her hands and began to dig skin care products into the box of frostbite cream.

This was bought by her for several of her top-notch girlfriends. It cost only a few dozen yuan. Although it is not as good as the cosmetics she uses, it is already very thoughtful. It is good enough for her to give cosmetics to those girls who think about being lazy all day long, right?

Just after I had sorted out the skin care products, a few girls came in gurgling, their lips moistened with oil.

"Xiangyu, you didn't care when Su Xiangxiu was fooling around on the farm. We must keep a close eye on Fan Yiping and never let her trick Engineer Ye away again." Zhu Xiaojie pinched Su Xiangyu and said.

Just now, Fan Yiping was eating meat with them. She originally wanted to talk more with Ye Xiangdong about the topic of brick making, but Zhu Xiaojie and Yu Weiwei, a few strong ones, squeezed next to her and refused to let her say a word to Ye Xiangdong.

Once bitten, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. There is already the example of Su Xiangxiu. They are really afraid that the achievements that Su Xiangyu has worked so hard for will be snatched away by Fan Yiping.

Xu Wenli and Yu Weiwei were still arguing: "That's right, this time we have to help you keep a close eye on your brother-in-law. If you get cheated by a vixen who doesn't want to work and only wants to curry favor with men, you will be wronged."

When the girls heard that there was a new frostbite cream which smelled quite nice, they each took a tube, probably wanting to gossip with Su Xiangyu a little more.

But at this time Ye Xiang suddenly lifted the curtain and came in. They exchanged a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words. Zhu Xiaojie also whispered to take it easy, and then the girls all left.

"Let me take a nap, I have to work overtime in the second half of the night." Ye Xiangdong lay down on the kang shamelessly.

This guy was lying on the kang, feeling a little happy, and he subconsciously said, "My uncle is probably coming to the border town. Good guy, I haven't seen him for two years."

In her previous life, Su Xiangyu didn't remember that Han Shen had come to the border town during this period of time.

She met Han Shen about five years later, on the day she returned to the city. It was Han Shen who picked up Su Yao's body at the train station and helped her send it to the hospital.

At that time, Han Shen also said: Little girl, if there is no one in this world to protect you, I will protect you. Don't worry, until the day I, Han Shen, die, I will see you live well before I die.

But he broke his promise. When Su Xiangyu died, he was still alive and well.

"How is your relationship with your uncle?" Su Xiangyu asked Ye Xiangdong.

Ye Xiangdong really wanted to take a nap because the results of an experiment he led would be out later this evening, but he didn't know what was going on. He originally just wanted to marry an honest and obedient wife who could cook for him.

Who knew that he would marry a fairy, who became more beautiful day by day, making him lie on the kang, his heart just like Tang Sanzang who was about to go on a journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures: he wanted to touch her, but he didn't dare; he wanted to let her go, but he couldn't bear to do so.

"Uncle, he's like a friend. We are about the same age. He's good in every way except that he loves to snatch my things." Ye Xiangdong frowned: "He'll snatch away anything I like. He's been snatching my toys since I was little, and he still snatches my..." When he grew up, he was too embarrassed to say the word "girlfriend".

In fact, Han Shen also said at that time that Ye Xiangdong was his eldest nephew, so when he was dating a girlfriend, he liked to screen them. But for some reason, in the end, those girls fell in love with him and no longer liked Ye Xiangdong.

Later, Ye Xiangdong said many times that he wanted to return to Shanghai to meet his aunt.

However, for some unknown reason, the trip was never carried out.

When he was wanted nationwide, Han Shen was so angry that he smashed things at home and yelled, "That kid still doesn't even have a girlfriend. I don't believe he will die."

Poor Ye Xiangdong, he was probably still a chick when he died in his previous life.

After tossing and turning on the kang for a long time, Ye Xiangdong said to me solemnly: "My uncle will at most go to the capital, he will not come to the farm. Also, Su Xiangyu, I have a good salary, and I have basically given all the money I saved to you. I want to be treated like a husband, so don't mention other men in front of me in the future."

It was obviously he who mentioned Han Shen first. She just asked one more question, but this little guy is so stubborn. Is he jealous of his uncle?

Su Xiangyu really wanted to tell him that she was his aunt in her previous life. Wouldn't that make him angry to death?

She applied the facial cream, turned over and lay down.

"Are you really not afraid of what I will do to you?" Ye Xiangdong said.

He recently discovered that Sister Su had no shyness of a little girl, which was very irritating to a man, okay? But her skin was tender and her body was fragrant, which was particularly tempting to commit crimes. In particular, he had been the number one gangster in the compound since he was a child, and had never been a determined revolutionary.

"What about liver disease? Aren't you afraid?" Su Xiangyu said with a smile, "Doctors from the county hospital will come to check blood tomorrow. Let's wait a little longer."

Liver disease is a golden sign. When the time comes, she will think of a way to talk to the hospital and just change the test report, right?

But Ye Xiangdong's next words surprised Su Xiangyu.

"Isn't it just a liver disease? In fact, even if you have it, it's no big deal. We can just take measures when the time comes and not pass it on to the next generation." He actually said.

"Aren't you afraid that I will infect you with liver disease?" Su Xiangyu said.

Ye Xiangdong put away the smile on his face and turned to look at Su Xiangyu: "Liver disease is nothing. You know, just last year, a child in Harlem Ranch got smallpox. The parents didn't know that the child could be saved, so they threw him in the snow and prepared to freeze to death. It was me who took the child to the hospital. I stayed with the child in the hospital for three days. I was born with a long life. When the child recovered, I didn't get smallpox. Besides, there is now a vaccine for liver disease in the West. When the time comes, can't I just get myself a shot of the vaccine?"

What a great feat, yet it was commonplace to him.

No wonder so many people were looking for him when he died.

The lives this guy has saved are enough to make a bunch of old men pick up guns and fight for him.

The brick-firing was in full swing. By the Lantern Festival, the first batch of bricks had come out. Because of the soil in the Gobi Desert, the bricks were all dark red and particularly beautiful.

It was not until the late 1970s that a brick-making boom started across the country, but now, brick-making is still a novelty.

But it is precisely because there is no wave that there is no sales, and the only one we can rely on is the county party committee.

Su Xiangyu has run back to the county town three times to find the salesman Xiao Wang.

The first time he brought a tube of frostbite cream and gave it to Xiao Wang. The second time he brought a box of vanishing cream and also gave it to Xiao Wang from the department store.

When Su Xiangyu arrived at the county town for the third time, Xiao Wang was waiting for her on the side of the road.

"Your frostbite cream is really effective. My mother used it and said that her hands are warm all day long." Pulling Su Xiangyu to the back of the department store, in their lounge, Xiao Wang poured Su Xiangyu a glass of water, then grabbed a handful of peanuts from the box and put them into Mu Tie's pocket.

"And that vanishing cream is really useful. Not only does it stop making your face oily, but it also keeps your face moist and tender all day long." As he said that, Xiao Wang stuffed Su Xiangyu with another handful of melon seeds.

"I only have one box. To be honest with you, it's not our domestic cosmetics. It was imported from the Soviet Union. It cost me a lot of money." Su Xiangyu said.

Xiao Wang sighed: "It's really useful. I've never bought it again."

It was Mu Tie's first time to enter the warehouse of a department store. After taking a look around, he found that the girls coming in and out were either holding melon seeds or candies in their mouths.

No wonder everyone says working in a department store is good. It turns out you can eat as much as you want working here.

However, she was just a salesperson in a department store, and a box of cosmetics cost several dollars. How could Su Xiangyu, who was so stingy, give it to her for free?

Lesbians seemed to have a lot of common topics to talk about, from skin to family, and it went on and on, almost overwhelming Mu Tie's little brain.

"As a new manager, I have to start with making bricks in the farm. But I can't sell the bricks. It's really difficult for me," said Su Xiangyu with a smile.

"I heard that you even signed a military order, saying that you must sell the grain seeds before the spring comes." Xiao Wang gave a thumbs up: "You are probably the best in the whole border town as the head of the farm."

Su Xiangyu sat for a while, and because Xiao Wang was still busy, she said goodbye.

When he was sending her away, Xiao Wang grabbed a few large pieces of peach cake from the box and stuffed them into Su Xiangyu's arms: "Give it to the child. I see you really love this child."

After coming out, Mu Tie was chewing a White Rabbit in his mouth and holding a large peach cake in his hand, with a kind of sweet and sad sadness, "At least 5,000 bricks have been fired, right?"

"Yes, it will be a problem if it cannot be sold." Su Xiangyu said.

Mu Tie was worried: "Don't chat with the salesperson next time. Let's find a way to sell bricks. The salesperson can't help us sell bricks." The little guy said this with great sincerity.

Of course, Su Xiangyu also nodded seriously: "Okay, I will sell bricks well next time I go to the city, and I won't let you worry about it."

"Godmother, I will always be your watchdog." Mu Tie said, and ran ahead like a gust of wind.

This little guy is quite good at expressing himself.

He certainly doesn't understand where business comes from. It comes from chatting. She is not chatting with Xiao Wang, she is doing business with Xiao Wang.

After the pickled mustard greens were frozen to pieces, I spent the New Year in the county hospital. It was only after the New Year that I recovered and prepared to be discharged from the hospital.

When he heard that Su Xiangyu was actually leading the educated youth to make bricks, he immediately laughed out loud: "Everyone in Er County lives in dugouts. Who knows how to use bricks?"

Zhu Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, she goes to the county town every day, but I haven't seen her sell a single brick."

As soon as Mei Gancai left the hospital, he ran like a whirlwind: "Hurry up, I have to go back to the farm to clean up the house for Mei Jun. She's coming soon, and I have to let her embarrass Su Xiangyu."

Feng Mingxun had to hurry and hurry before he finally caught up with my mother.

The old lady had been wanting to send a telegram to Feng Mingmei to pick up Mu Tie, but Feng Mingxun stopped her. Unexpectedly, she actually asked Zhu Lin to send a telegram to Feng Mingmei in the capital, telling Feng Mingyan in the capital that Ye Xiangdong was getting married to Su Xiangyu in the border town.

Feng Mingyan had a girl whom he admired very much. She was from the same Guizhou hometown as her family and her name was Mei Jun. Mei Gancai admired the girl very much because her family was well-off and her parents were officials in the provincial capital of Guizhou.

As for Mei Jun, he is also very outstanding. After all, he is a top student at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. It is said that he will follow their mentor Han Shen to do research work, so Mei Gancai is trying so hard to curry favor with him.

It is better to have less trouble than more. Although Feng Mingxun was also angry with Su Xiangyu, he still looked down on his mother for trying to curry favor with the daughter of a leader.

So he was also very troubled. He followed behind Mei Gancai, keeping his head down as much as possible, not wanting people to see that he had a mother like Mei Gancai.

However, the more people try to hide from others, the more they will be noticed.

"Comrade Feng Mingxun, are you preparing to return to Chaoyang Farm?" At the bus station, someone grabbed Feng Mingxun's hand.

"Hello, Secretary Wang." When Feng Mingxun saw that it was Wang Xinjun, the secretary of the county party committee, he hurried forward to shake hands.

Mei Gancai turned around and was also happy: "Secretary Wang, did the county leaders send you to see me?"

From the perspective of the leader, it is an honor.

Secretary Wang actually just happened to meet Mei Gancai. Since he met her, he had to say something nice: "I stopped by to see you, but my main job is to go to the first branch of your Chaoyang Farm. I heard that there are bricks in the first branch, and our county committee is currently building a building and is laying the foundation. I plan to go and take a look at the bricks."

Secretary Wang said it once, but Mei Gancai didn't understand.

After he said it again, Mei Gancai seemed to understand a little: "You mean, the bricks from Chaoyang Farm were actually sold to the government?"

The old lady was just laughing at Su Xiangyu for not being able to sell her bricks, but now, she missed a step and fell to the ground with her eyes bulging.

Feng Mingxun and Zhu Lin were busy helping the old lady up and pinching her Ren Zhong point.

Secretary Wang was still a little confused: The old director of the farm, maybe he fainted from joy when he heard that the bricks were selling?

Poor Mei Gancai had just recovered from his illness, but was sent to the hospital again.
