Baiyue Cave Master

After Wang Yuanchao and Director Huang went out drunk,

Wang Yuanchao, sitting in the back seat of the jeep, immediately woke up.

Liu Wanyou was driving in front towards the Red Flag Brigade.

After sitting for a while, Wang Yuanchao said:

"Wanyou, this time I went to YK City,

At that time, you, me, and a security guard will set out as a group.

The round trip will take three days. Your family needs to make arrangements. Got it?"

"Okay, Director, I have no problem.

It's just that the factory director, there's no need for you to go in person, right?"

Wang Yuanchao rubbed his brow with his index finger and said:

"Without the right to investigate, there is no right to speak.

Once we succeed in purchasing marine fish, it will largely solve the food problem of our red brick factory.

In the future, it will become a normal practice for our red brick factory to purchase marine fish.

So I have to go to the local area and understand the actual situation there before I can make the right decision.

So I have to go.”

Liu Wanyou admired Wang Yuanchao's work attitude very much. He felt that Wang Yuanchao was a good leader because he was the factory director but still did such a dangerous thing personally.

"Director, if you want to purchase marine fish on a long-term basis,

It would be better for our factory to have a big truck.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to borrow a car every time.”

"Well, you have a point, but we have to wait a few months until the factory makes some money.

All the factory’s profits last year have already been turned in.”

Liu Wanyou replied sullenly:

"Ah."

All the way back to the Hongqi Brigade, Wang Yuanchao first went to the village committee and found Secretary Kong and the brigade leader.

After discussing with them about my trip to the seaside to purchase sea fish, I said:

"Secretary, team leader, the intensity of work at the Red Brick Factory is too high.

If the employees' meals do not contain meat, it will be difficult for them to survive.

I racked my brains to come up with this idea.

So this time I borrowed a big truck from the county transport team.

Prepare to purchase more sea fish at one time."

After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, Secretary Kong and the team leader frowned and said disapprovingly:

"Director Wang, I'm just buying sea fish. Although it's a little far,

But you just need to let your employees go, your task should be to ensure good production.

There's no need for a factory manager like you to go and purchase in person, right?"

"Oh, my captain, if you don't have the right to investigate, you don't have the right to speak.

It is precisely because the purchase of marine fish is related to production,

That’s why I have to go there in person to have a look and get a thorough understanding of the situation there, so that I can ensure that there will be no mistakes in my future work.”

Secretary Kong looked at Wang Yuanchao seriously. Although he admired Wang Yuanchao's seriousness in his work,

But a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Secretary Kong did not agree with Wang Yuanchao's behavior of taking the risk himself.

But Secretary Kong didn't care whether Wang Yuanchao lived or died. Since Wang Yuanchao wanted to go, Secretary Kong would not stop him, so he said:

"Director Wang, how many days will it take you to purchase the marine fish this time?"

"About three to four days."

"Okay, since you have made up your mind, go ahead.

Remember to arrange the work in the factory properly so as not to affect production."

"Don't worry, Secretary. I will arrange the work and it will definitely not affect production."

"Okay, I wish you a safe journey then."

"Thank you, Party Secretary."

After Wang Yuanchao left the village committee, the team leader followed him out and said:

"Director Wang, don't you know how dangerous it is to travel long distances now?"

"Captain, I know that we will go with three people this time, and each of us will carry a gun.

It's going to be alright.

Besides, I have been in Hongqi Brigade for such a long time, but I have not visited the surrounding areas.

This purchase is very important, and I can go out and have a look, so why not?

Besides, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so nothing will happen, don't worry."

"Ah, you, why are you making such a fuss when you can't just live a good life?"

After returning home, Wang Yuanchao told his mother-in-law and young wife about his decision.

Although the two were worried about Wang Yuanchao's safety, they were already used to Wang Yuanchao making the decisions at home, so they didn't think too much about it.

A day passed in a flash. For drivers these days, being able to repair a car is a basic skill.

After Liu Wanyou took over the transport team's truck, he drove back to the red brick factory and began to check the vehicle, fearing that the truck would break down on the way.

In the 70s, there were no national highways in Northeast China. The roads from Heishi to YK City were mainly some ordinary provincial roads and other low-grade roads. Most of the road surface was gravel or dirt, and the road surface was uneven.

Wang Yuanchao and his entourage experienced severe bumps in the car as they drove.

Moreover, the truck was speeding along, raising a lot of dust on the road, which seriously affected Liu Wanyou's vision and breathing, causing him to drive very slowly.

After driving for most of the day, we finally arrived in Liaoyang. It started raining again and the whole road became muddy, making it very difficult and dangerous for large trucks to drive, as the vehicles easily got stuck in the mud.

Moreover, provincial roads are generally narrow nowadays, and can only accommodate two cars passing each other. In some narrow sections or mountainous areas, the road width is even narrower, which is a great test of Liu Wanyou's driving skills and experience.

The most important thing is that the road sign system at that time was imperfect, there were few road signs and signboards, and their settings were irregular and unclear.

As a result, Wang Yuanchao and his entourage often had to get off the bus to ask for directions, otherwise they would easily get lost or go in the wrong direction.

Wang Yuanchao and his team finally arrived in Shenyang. The road conditions from Shenyang to Yingkou were even more complicated, and they often had to cross mountainous areas, rivers and other terrains.

The infrastructure such as bridges and culverts was also relatively simple, and everyone was driving in fear along the way.

In short, along the way, Wang Yuanchao and his team encountered very difficult traffic conditions and drove slowly. They drove for a whole day and night, and Liu Wanyou did not even rest during the journey before they finally reached YK City.

After arriving in YK City, although we haven't reached the beach yet,

But Wang Yuanchao and his companions could not hold on any longer, so they found a guesthouse, booked three rooms, fell onto the beds, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Wang Yuanchao and the other two woke up from a nap, it was already noon.

After having a seafood dinner at a state-owned restaurant, the three of them continued driving towards Bayuquan.

After leaving YK City, the road to Bayuquan is an unrepaired dirt road that is narrow and bumpy.

There were many horse-drawn carriages passing along the way, and everything seemed very primitive.

At that time, Bayuquan was not the tourist destination it is today. It was just a quiet little fishing village with many villages living around it. The population was relatively small, with only about 3 to 400 people in one village.

In those days, the villagers of Bayuquan mainly relied on fishing for their livelihood, and fishery was the local pillar industry.

During the fishing season, fishermen drive small fishing boats out to sea to catch various sea fish such as mackerel. Some of the caught fish are eaten by themselves, and the rest are sold at nearby markets in exchange for daily necessities.

In addition to fisheries, there is also a small amount of agriculture. People grow some crops, such as corn and sorghum, on limited land. The agricultural production methods are relatively primitive and the yield is not high. It is only a supplement to fisheries.

So life here is very poor.
