In the 1960s, a woman dressed as a man and a general came to give birth to a baby

While Zhang Dagui, Zhang Ergui and Zhang Xiaoli were talking at the brigade headquarters, Zhang Yu began to carefully look at the situation of the village. The village was not very large, but there was no one in sight along the way. I guess the villagers were working hard in the fields. In addition, the growth of the surrounding plants was not satisfactory. Zhang Yu thought to himself: It seems that this place is also not immune to the drought!

The three of them walked out of the brigade headquarters. Zhang Xiaoli was about to introduce them to the others, but unexpectedly, the brigade leader Zhang Dagui stepped forward, shook Zhang Yu's hand tightly, and said enthusiastically:

"Hello, hello, I'm glad to see you here. I'm the leader of our village, Zhang Da Kui." Then he pointed at Zhang Er Kui and continued to introduce him, "This is my second brother Zhang Er Kui, the village accountant, that..."

As he was talking, he remembered that he didn't know the other person's name, so he turned to his daughter Zhang Xiaoli and asked, "Xiaoli, what is this person's name?"

Zhang Xiaoli looked at her sometimes confused father in front of her and felt helpless, but she could only try her best to smooth things over for him, explaining: "This is Zhang Yu, a purchaser from the Gongshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. He has a way to get coarse grains."

Then, she pointed at Zhang Da Kui and the other man and continued to introduce them, "And these two are my father and second uncle. They are also the captain and accountant of our Liujia Village."

Then, she said to the three people, "Don't stand at the door, let's sit down in the brigade headquarters and talk slowly."

Hearing this, the team leader Zhang Dagui quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, Purchaser Zhang, let's go in and talk, while we walk."

Then, Zhang Yu was warmly invited by the three people to the brigade headquarters. As soon as he entered the door, they brought him a glass of water and asked him to sit down and rest first.

After the four of them sat down, Zhang Yu spoke first, "Captain Zhang, I'm here this time mainly to represent our Gongshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative to purchase fine grains. Now our supply and marketing cooperative's purchase price for fine grains is 3 yuan per catty. Of course, this price is not high. However, this time we are not just buying and selling, I will also sell you coarse grains. And the ratio is very good, one catty of fine grains can be exchanged for five catties of coarse grains."

When the team leader Zhang Dagui heard this, he was immediately delighted. This condition was much better than they had expected! After all, everyone was eager to have more coarse grains to fill their stomachs. He secretly thought that if he could exchange enough coarse grains at this rate and save a little, then their village would be able to survive until the next grain production season.

After pondering for a moment, he asked expectantly, "Purchaser Zhang, to be honest, although the amount of fine grains in our village is small, the total amount is actually quite large, probably around 5000 kilograms. Can you really exchange all of these for coarse grains?" After saying this, his eyes revealed a hint of eagerness and hope.

Hearing Captain Zhang's thoughts, Zhang Yu quickly explained, "Of course, no problem. The coarse grains here are mainly sweet potatoes, and of course there are also some sweet potato vines. Do you want them?"

Zhang Dagui was a little excited when he heard that there were sweet potato vines. After all, at this time, sweet potato vines can be considered a kind of coarse grain, and can also be eaten as vegetables! However, compared with sweet potatoes, they are not as good at resisting hunger. So, Zhang Dagui asked with some embarrassment: "How do those sweet potato vines work? Are they the same as sweet potatoes? If so, then we should choose sweet potatoes."

Zhang Yu was thinking to himself that the sweet potato vines in his space were almost overflowing, so he quickly explained: "Of course this is different. If you want to exchange the sweet potato vines, how about I give you a preferential price of 1:7?"

Zhang Dagui was surprised to hear that the ratio of sweet potatoes to sweet potato vines was so different! He thought to himself that the difference between 1:5 and 1:7 was not a small difference. There was a difference of two kilograms between one kilogram. After thinking for a moment, he turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Purchaser Zhang, please wait a moment, let's discuss this matter."

Then, Zhang Dagui and the accountant, who was also his second brother, walked out of the room and discussed quietly outside the house. Not long after, the two returned to the house.

At this time, Zhang Dagui faced Zhang Yu again and said, "Purchaser Zhang, we have agreed that we will exchange a total of 5000 kilograms of fine grains, 4000 kilograms of which will be used to exchange for sweet potatoes, and the remaining 1000 kilograms will be exchanged for sweet potato vines."

"Okay, no problem at all!" Zhang Yu responded readily.

Captain Zhang Dagui then raised a key question: "Since this is a business-to-business transaction, how should the account process be handled?"

Zhang Yu had already thought about this question, and he said calmly: "Ours is a public-to-public transaction. Of course, there is a disadvantage to public-to-public transactions, that is, we cannot exchange directly, but have to do it separately. My idea is that as a purchaser of the Gongshan Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative, I will first purchase 5000 kilograms of fine grains from you, and then you will purchase 7000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and kilograms of sweet potato vines from our supply and marketing cooperative in the name of the Liujia Village Brigade."

Hearing Zhang Yu say this, Zhang Dagui couldn't help but feel a little confused. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Purchaser Zhang, I have no objection to other aspects, but I wonder if the order can be adjusted? For example, we can change it to our Liujia Village Brigade to purchase 7000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 5000 kilograms of sweet potato vines from your supply and marketing cooperative first, and then we can sell you kilograms of fine grains. Is this okay?"

Zhang Yu knew that they didn't trust him, but it didn't matter. He had plenty of sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines in his space. Even if the transaction didn't go well, it wouldn't be a big deal. He could just treat it as a lesson learned. He could buy from other places. But if the transaction was successful, he could continue to use this model in the future, purchasing fine grains continuously, and at the same time help these people a little.

Seeing Zhang Yu agree so readily, Zhang Dagui felt guilty. However, for the benefit of the whole village, he still insisted on his idea. He couldn't wait to urge, "Purchaser Zhang, when do you think it would be appropriate for us to start this transaction?"

Zhang Yu wanted to do it as quickly as possible, so he replied: "Captain, I'm always available. When you are ready, let me know and I will notify my colleagues to deliver the goods. Of course, our other transaction cannot be delayed too long, because my colleagues also need to transport the fine grain back."

Captain Zhang Dagui listened to Zhang Yu's words and nodded in agreement. He said, "That's for sure. We must not waste the country's resources. How about this? I will personally go to the state-owned hotel to find you at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Zhang Yu responded readily, "Okay, no problem! I'll call my colleagues at the supply and marketing cooperative right now. We'll arrive here in a little over a day, traveling day and night."

Hearing Zhang Yu's answer, the captain finally put his heart at ease. At this time, he thought of several villages with which he had a good relationship, so he asked Zhang Yu: "Purchaser Zhang, do you still need fine grains? There are a lot of fine grains in the surrounding villages, and they also have the idea of ​​bartering."

Considering the food situation in his own space, Zhang Yu thought it was better to forget it this time, but he did not say anything final. He replied: "Captain, my purchase task this month is only 5000 kilograms of fine grains. How about this, I will come again next month, and if everyone still needs it, we can continue to exchange. Of course, I may need your help to coordinate this matter, Captain."

The reason for making such a choice is mainly because Zhang Yu knows that nothing can be done too hastily. For him, 5000 kilograms of fine grain is just the right amount, and he will come again this month.
