I Had a Home In 1982 Chapter 31

   Chapter 31 31. Comrade Purchaser

  Wang Yi thought the fisherman's hospitality was nothing else.

   is steamed seafood in a big pot.

   It turned out not to be the case. This time, the dish was not cooked on the stovetop of Wang Xianghong's house but in Liu Hongmei's house.

   Her man, Wang Xiangxiong, came back, and personally set the stove to entertain the three of Manager Xu.

   boldly introduced to Wang Yi with a smile: "Mr. Wang, you can wait and eat. Brother Xiong is very good at cooking. He is the head of the kitchen in the government."

   Not long after, Liu Hongmei, who came home, brought two women with dishes, one of whom carried a small porcelain basin to help clear the table, and saw that these three items were all fish soup.

   He was wondering why there was so much fish soup in this meal, when Liu Hongmei said with a smile:

"Uncle Xu, look, our party secretary remembers your old problem with a bad stomach. Yesterday, I specially asked my man to get sand eel and mink fish in the commune for you to stew fish soup. , and Sister Song's fish soup, this is your favorite bite."

   Manager Xu smiled and reached out and patted Wang Xianghong's shoulder: "My old man has a heart, and every time he comes, he prepares a good meal for me."

  Wang Xianghong snorted: "Speak less, eat more, drink more, come on, let's serve the dishes, it's just cold today, you and these two comrades hurry up and eat two bowls of fish soup to warm up."

   Three cold dishes are served after three hot dishes, and three cold dishes are served.

   A plate of crystal clear fish jelly, a plate of pickled snails with sauce, and a plate of pickled wild vegetables, I don't know what they are, the green stems are very beautiful.

   In addition, there are crabs with scallion oil, boiled prawns, and a few hard dishes. Wang Dongxi went to hold a jar of wine and brought them out.

   The wine jar was so big that Wang Dong was so happy to hold it in his arms, Wang Yi roughly estimated the capacity to be more than five liters.

  The wine jar is very beautiful, with a large mouth and a round belly.

   There are colorful paintings on it. The lines are relatively simple and clear. It can be seen that the painting is a peach forest. The flowers on the peach trees are blooming beautifully. There are three men kneeling in front of a chopping board under the peach trees.

   "Sanjieyi in Taoyuan, Longshan, Gu Yue, has kept the rice wine for two years. After you gave it to our party secretary, you have not been willing to drink it. No honored guest is willing to come, just waiting for you." Wang Dong said with a smile.

   Manager Xu sighed: "I haven't been here for more than a year. Now that we are reforming the system, we are really busy and can't get away. Now we have a lighter hand, and I will come often in the future!"

  Wang Dongxi curled his lips and said, "Forget it, how busy can you be at work? Busier than us who are shaking the oars and casting the net?"

Manager Xu pointed his finger at him and smiled: "You can stop coming, we are still so idle in front of the reform and opening up? Now the country and the market have changed a lot, we have too much to learn, and even have to learn from scratch. !"

  Wang Yi helped take the jar.

   There was a linen cloth tied on the wine jar, on which were written with a brush the four big characters "Century old altar, good aged wine", and a line of small characters below it: Chen Baoting's own brew, followed by a dark red seal.

  The sackcloth was opened and the mud seal was below. Wang Dongxi opened the altar, and boldly poured the freshly boiled water into a basin, put it into a warm wine bottle with dried red dates, wolfberry and ginger, and poured the rice wine directly into the bottle to heat.

  The wine was hot, and the last fish was delivered, which was a plump sea bass.

   Manager Xu smiled and said, "Eating perch today? That's good, what did the ancients say? People come and go on the river, but they love perch. Look at a boat, it's haunted by storms."

"The perch in the river is delicious, and the perch in our sea is not bad. This poem is well written. In the storm, the common people know that the fish is delicious, but only the fishermen know that the fish is unpalatable. Fish is not easy, and it is also difficult to eat a single fish!”

   "Yeah, only after a walk in the sea and a couple of laps will you know how hard the life of a fisherman is." Wang Dongxi sighed.

   Wang Xianghong said disdainfully: "I think you have all lived comfortably for too long. Why is it so hard to catch a fish in the sea?"

   "Bitter or not, think about the Long March 25,000; Tired or not, compare to the revolutionary seniors!"

   "How good we are now, people can't be content, okay, the wine is almost hot, the rice wine is just warm, it's too hot and there is no wine smell, come, let's eat!"

  Everyone raised their wine glasses, Wang Xianghong looked at the young man and asked, "Little comrade, do you want to hang a machine around your neck after you eat?"

  The young man held a wine glass in one hand and the camera in the other and said, "This is a Seagull 4B camera. Our company spent 280 yuan to buy it. I can't leave. I'm afraid this is the only camera in Haifu County."

   "How much? Two hundred and eighty yuan?" Boldly changed, "Twenty-eight pieces of great unity? Just buy such a small machine?"

"Besides, I know the camera, shouldn't it be this big?" He stretched out his hand and gestured for a while, "It's like a wooden box. When I got married, I would go to the county to take pictures. I think the camera is quite big, but it's so small now. ?"

  Wang Xianghong said with disgust: "Don't make a fuss, when did you get married? 70 years? Yes, it's been twelve years, can things be the same now as they were back then?"

   He secretly said what is a small machine worth 280 yuan, there will soon be a big machine worth tens of thousands of yuan on our island!

The young man smiled and said, "There have been such portable cameras in 70 years. You haven't seen them in the countryside. Just now there was an old lady who was funny. I took a camera and wanted to shoot her, but she thought I was holding a gun to aim at her. , scared her!"

   Wang Yi didn't feel anything after listening to the conversation in front of them.

   The seagull camera is indeed precious these days, and the young man is right to regard it as a treasure, but he should not make fun of the villagers.

  The people on the island are very arrogant, and even when they hear his words, they seem unhappy.

   Manager Xu said in a timely manner: "I forgot to introduce to you just now. This is Comrade Yao Dangbing, a purchaser from our unit. His father is Lao Yao, who is familiar to Lao Wang."

   Wang Xianghong asked: "Oh, Lao Yao's baby? That Lao Yao has retired? No, I saw him come years ago."

   "I just retired after the new year, so Comrade Yao Dangbing took over his class. He has little work experience and not much social experience." Manager Xu said.

   His explanation was understood by everyone.

   This young man has no bad intentions. He has never experienced the beatings of society, and he doesn't have much to say or do.

  Speaking without going through the brain.

   Wang Yi, who was going to run on him, gave up this idea.

   He is going to be a social beating!

   Manager Xu continued: "Okay, the food and drinks are all in place, let's not linger, let's start eating and drinking."

   Bold and others laughed and agreed, and they all followed to drink.

   When the wine was hot, Wang Yi began to join Yao as a soldier.

   He said with a smile:

"When I saw Uncle Xu for the first time, I definitely wanted to give Uncle Xu a cup, but I heard that Uncle's stomach is not good, so I can't drink more, so that the soldiers will block the water and cover the soil. Uncle Daan and Brother Xizi, have you helped Xu Uncle for a cup?"

   Wang Xianghong was delighted.

   He immediately understood Wang Yi's bad intentions, and immediately said: "How can they be qualified to give Lao Xu a drink? This male comrade, you are Lao Xu's capable leader, come on."

   The young man's name is Yao Dangbing. He raised his glass and said, "Okay, I'll have a drink for our manager."

  Wang Yi drank it.

  Yao Dangbing was about to sit down when Wang Yi smiled and said, "The Yellow River is surging for thousands of miles. Drinking is a good idea. One cup doesn't reflect my respect for Uncle Xu. Another cup will deepen my feelings!"

   Eat the second cup.

Yao Dangbing was about to sit down again, and Wang Yi said, "A good man with three gangs, don't panic after a drink, don't drink a pair of drinks, and drink three glasses to be considered good! Come on, men must be masculine, and I'll toast one more drink. !"

   Drinking three cups in a row, Yao Dangbing looked bitter: "Okay, comrade, wine is made from grain, we just need to drink it properly, don't force it, otherwise it will be a waste."

  Wang Yi said: "That's right, the leader said it well, corruption and waste are great crimes, then let's sit down."

   Yao Dangbing sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

   At this time, Wang Yi nodded to Bold: "Uncle Bold, Manager Xu has taken care of our team a lot over the years. This time, 1,000 liters of diesel has been sent. As the militia captain and the second group leader, you are not allowed to express yourself?"

   boldly said: "I have to express it! Come on, Manager Xu, sit down, Comrade Song, you come for the wine, I have nothing else to do, I will have three bowls before serving!"

   "Change the sea bowl!"

   Yao Dangbing's bowl mouth as big as his face straightened on the spot: "Mother!"

  Wang Dongxi and Liu Hongmei looked at each other, and they both took bowls from under the table and placed them in front of them.

   Manager Xu smiled and shook his head.

  This time he came as a guest, and the two soldiers he brought came to do research to see what living supplies were needed on the island.

   Diesel was still in the library. He gave an approval slip and received the diesel with the approval slip. Because of the relationship, the supply and marketing company delivered the diesel to the door.

   When they went back in the afternoon, Wang Xianghong was impatient and decided to bring the diesel oil back the same day.

  Wang Yi said that he would have to go to the county seat.

  Go to call the classmates, ask the classmates in the northeast to deliver the goods from the unit, and also ask the classmates in Hudu to prepare his things, he takes time to go over and get another wave.

   Wang Xianghong drank too much, so he asked Bold to accompany Wang Yi into the city.

   Yao Dangbing was drunk, Wang Yi helped him prepare to go out, but he kept dawdling, and the others left and they were still in the house.

  Wang Yi got impatient and prepared to call someone.

   A hand suddenly covered his mouth, and then a hot air sprayed behind his ear: "Don't shout, I'm dawdling with you on purpose."

   Yao's voice as a soldier!

  Wang Yi knocked him over with an elbow, and cried out in horror, "What are you doing?!"

   Yao Dangbing was tripped down by the bench, he got up in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Wang, don't yell, I want to ask you something, are you wearing foreign jeans?"

  Wang Yi stunned: "Yes, no, I said what happened to you? Are you drunk?"

   Yao Dangbing laughed and said, "Want to use rice wine to overthrow me? How can it be that simple, our Yao family is born to drink, otherwise how could my father be a buyer in a supply and marketing cooperative?"

"And before I went to work, my dad told me that once the buyer came to the wine table, he had to avoid drinking. I was just pretending to be drunk-wait, don't spread it out, I can't do anything about it, our buyer's job must be Keep a clear head, otherwise it will be a bad thing to make a wrong calculation and sell the wrong thing!"

   "Anyway, let's get back to the topic, are you wearing a popular foreign denim? Where did you buy it?"
