After drinking a cup of sugar water with Chen Feng, Zhang Xiaohua said goodbye and went home to rest.

After the movie was over and everyone went home, the compound was still very lively as everyone was discussing the plot of the movie.

Sha Zhu and He Yushui escorted Chen Hao and Chen Li back and went home to rest.

Chen Jianjun arranged for everyone to return the tables and chairs before returning with Zhou Qing.

Chen Li didn't want to go to bed because her parents hadn't come back yet, so she sat at the door with Chen Hao. When she saw Chen Jianjun, she immediately ran up to him.

"Dad, how did you marry my mother back then? Did you look for her for a long time?" Chen Hao asked curiously.

Chen Jianjun said calmly: "No need, it was your mother who liked me first. She would stare blankly every time she saw me."

"Seek death!"

Zhou Qing blushed, hugged Chen Li, stepped hard on his foot, and quickly walked back to her house.

Chen Jianjun's mouth corners turned up, looking very proud.

Chen Hao was a little skeptical: "Dad, you didn't lie to me, did you? In the movie, the uncle searched for a long time before finding it."

Chen Jianguo said with a grin, "Chen Hao, let me tell you, our family has good blood, strong abilities, and good looks. We won't have trouble finding a good wife, but you are a little bit dangerous."

Although Chen Hao is only 8 years old, I don’t know how many families he has been to and how many “young wives” he has married at this age.

He was somewhat indignant about Chen Jianguo's veto and responded angrily.

"Uncle, you are the one in danger. There are many girls who like me in school."

"It's you, who is so old but still has no wife. You are the one in danger."

"Grandma said that there are many girls who want to be my wife."

Chen Jianguo smiled evilly and said, "Tell me honestly, have you ever held their hands?"

Chen Hao's face turned red instantly and he hesitated and refused to say anything.

Chen Jianguo pretended to be surprised and asked, "You really held it. Is it soft and fragrant?"

"Bah, Second Uncle, you are shameless."

Chen Hao ran into the room and stopped talking to him.

Chen Jianguo laughed and said, "You are stupid. You can't have dignity when you want to marry a wife. If you have dignity, you can't marry a wife."

The old man sent Chief Wang and Deputy Director Wang away and instructed, "Xiao Feng, send a few wild ducks to Deputy Director Wang tomorrow. The price can be slightly lower."

"Okay, grandpa." Chen Feng nodded.

"Cough cough."

Chen Jianguo also said: "Xiao Feng, I also need a wild duck or pheasant, preferably roasted. Your uncle Ouyang's grandfather's birthday is on October 10th. No matter how good other things are, they are not as good as roast duck."

"It's a waste of money to buy it. It's better to bake it at home, and others won't gossip about it."

A Sijiucheng roast duck costs 8 yuan, but it weighs several kilograms (almost 4 kilograms), which is twice as heavy as a wild duck.

Chen Feng said unhappily: "It's a good deal, 8 yuan!"

Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "Do you want a wine ticket?"

He took out five handwritten wine tickets, each of which said 3 kilograms of white wine.

Thanks to the relatively complete printing technology in the city, there are not many handwritten bills in the city (this is relatively common across the country, as printing bills only became a large-scale system after the 60s).

The handwritten receipts in Chen Jianguo's hand are usually taken care of by the leaders and are temporarily handwritten.

However, it has been signed and recognized by the relevant departments.

"Can this thing be exchanged for good wine?" Chen Feng asked. "Uncle, forget about the bulk liquor."

There are relatively few liquors in Sijiucheng now. The Sijiucheng Experimental Brewing Factory is the only brewery that produces Erguotou.

There were many wealthy people in Beijing, and with local officials now traveling around, liquor was naturally in short supply. There was once a purchase limit, with each household only being able to buy two bottles per month with a purchase certificate.

Many liquors are supported by provinces across the country, such as Xifeng Liquor and Wuliangye.

In 1975, Beijing organized the "Eight Famous Wines Entering Beijing" event, which became famous and became a legend. However, behind it was the problem of imbalance between supply and demand.

"Of course, but if you want to exchange for good wine, you'd better go find Ye Jin."

Chen Jianguo pointed out: "Half of the canned goods from the cannery will be sent to the military. We have a very good relationship with the military. The military is also having some difficulties this year. In order to get more canned goods, they often send their own special wine and special cigarettes to the cannery."

Is it possible to exchange chicken, duck, fish and rabbit for special wine?

Chen Feng found it difficult.

Most people think that chickens, ducks, wild boars and rabbits are a little out of reach now, but in the eyes of real factory managers, that's probably the case.

Exchanging special supplies for some meat is obviously a losing business.

"Uncle, I don't think it's reliable."

Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "No, if you think it's useless, it's fine if they think it's fine."

"As for the reason, I won't tell you, you figure it out yourself."

Damn the Riddler!

When Chen Feng returned to the house, Chen Hao immediately gave him warm water to wash his feet.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Feng looked at Chen Hao and said, "Let me ask you, if someone offers pork in exchange for your wild duck meat, would you do it?"

Without thinking, Chen Hao answered directly: "Of course, we eat duck meat every day, it would be nice to switch to pork, preferably roasted, pork belly must be delicious when roasted."

"Brother, I think it's a waste for mom to cook and eat every day."

"Why don't you talk to them and just roast it and eat it."

Chen Feng nodded.

He now really wants to know whether the special wine is pork or duck meat.

The next morning, he first delivered the chickens, ducks and rabbits of the projection team in exchange for more than 16 yuan. Then he went outside the city to return the favor to the mountain god, offering three incense sticks, a roasted pheasant, a bowl of white rice and a bottle of Erguotou.

The Erguotou was "extorted" from Sha Zhu.

In the afternoon, he rode a bicycle and brought his "prey" to see Ye Jin, asking if he could exchange good wine.

"Wild duck, of course."

Ye Jin looked at the four fat and big "wild ducks" and four fat and big "pheasants" he had sent, all of which were alive.

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. We don't want to drink if possible."

“There’s nothing we can do!”

Ye Jin looked bitter and resentful, and it seemed that he was often asked to drink with others.

"There is a saying in the officialdom: comrades who can drink eight ounces or one catty can be trusted; comrades who can drink one catty or eight ounces should be cultivated."

"If you want to get along well, you have to drink."

"Puchi!" Wang Cheng laughed when he heard it.

Chen Feng slapped his head and understood.

The leader of the cannery would rather eat more meat than drink more alcohol.

Chen Jianguo must have heard about it, so he concluded that the exchange could be successful. This is the advantage of intelligence information.

"Uncle Ye, can you help me ask if they are willing to change?"

Ye Jin nodded and said, "Wang Cheng, please accompany Xiao Chen for a while. I will go ask some leaders."

Chen Feng added: "Three for one bottle is fine."

A bottle of Moutai liquor on the market costs 2.97 yuan. If you exchange three for one bottle, it seems like a bit of a loss.

But price and sales are not the same thing. On the black market, a bottle of Moutai can be sold for several times more. Seven or eight yuan is the starting price, and more than ten yuan is not a problem at all.

Because Moutai is also a major liquor product for export and foreign exchange earnings, earning tens of millions of dollars each year, and the domestic supply is very small.

33 yuan for a bottle of wine

But these wild ducks and pheasants are all raised in space with almost no cost.

He felt he had earned it by exchanging them for special supplies.

After all, this stuff costs more than 30 yuan a bottle in the future. If you save a dozen bottles, it will be enough for an ordinary person to have no worries about food and clothing!

Ye Jin left for more than ten minutes and soon came back with three bottles of Moutai.

"I said we could keep the chickens and ducks we brought with us first. They are all female and can lay chicken and duck eggs. The leader thought it was great and gave me an extra bottle."

"Thank you, Uncle Ye." Chen Feng took out the eggs from his pocket and said, "I was going to take them back for my brother and sister to eat. Uncle Ye helped me get a bottle of good wine, so I have to repay him."

Ye Jin accepted the three pheasant eggs with a smile. Chen Feng's understanding was worthy of his praise.

The leader is satisfied, I am satisfied, and Xiao Chen is satisfied. All three parties get what they need.
