60s: I have a store

Chapter 406 The seeds have a destination

The old branch secretary asked the canteen to serve some steamed buns made of 20 grams of flour and cabbage soup first.

"Village Chief Huang, you guys eat first, I'll go discuss it with the villagers!"

After a while, a large plate of steamed buns made of two-grain flour and a dish of cabbage soup were brought in.

Huang Jianguo stared with wide eyes: "Village Chief, I didn't expect the food in Zhoujiazhuang is so good!"

Having said that, get ready to get started.

However, Village Chief Huang slapped him with his hand and said, "Are there any rules? The host hasn't even arrived yet, what are you eating?"

Although he was also attracted by the delicious food in front of him, one should still follow rules.

If Zhoujiazhuang does not help because of this incident, the two of them will become sinners in the village.

But you can't do such a thing just because of your momentary appetite.

When Huang Jianguo heard this, he realized that he was not a fool and understood what the village chief meant.

You can only quench your thirst by looking at the delicious food in front of you and treat it as if you are eating it.

After a while, they arrived at Zhou Yimin's home.

When Zhou Yimin saw the old branch secretary coming over, he knew that there must be something to discuss. Could it be that his seed replacement had been exposed?
That shouldn't be the case. Look, there shouldn't be anyone around.

The old Party Secretary got straight to the point: "Yimin, the head of Huangjia Village is here and wants to borrow seeds from us."

When Zhou Yimin heard this, he could only say that this village was really amazing! They even spared no grain seeds.

Suddenly I thought, in the current environment, who would eat grain seeds if there was no other way?
"Old Party Secretary, what do you mean?"

The old branch secretary was a little undecided: "I just don't know, I want to discuss it with you?"

Zhou Yimin thought about it and thought, wouldn’t the replaced seeds be just the right thing to help Huangjia Village?

"Where are they?"

The old Party Secretary replied: "If they are human, I will take them to the dining hall."

There is no shortage of food in the village now, so there is no problem in entertaining two people.

If it had been a year ago, they would definitely not have been so generous. At that time, even the people in the village could hardly have enough food to eat, so how could they have the energy to take care of other villages?

Such a huge change is all thanks to Zhou Yimin!
Zhou Yimin followed the old branch secretary to the dining hall.

He saw the steamed buns and cabbage soup on the table, but didn't move.

Zhou Yimin felt that the two people in front of him were still very principled. If it were someone else, they would have wolfed down the food long ago.

"Village Chief Huang, why don't you eat?" said the old branch secretary.

Village Chief Huang was still stubborn: "It's not that I'm not hungry, it doesn't matter if I wait."

As soon as he finished speaking, a "cooing" sound was heard.

Village Chief Huang thought it was himself at first, but the "cooing" sound was heard again.

Huang Jianguo immediately lowered his head, fearing that others would see his embarrassed face.

If there is a hole now, Huang Jianguo would probably jump in without hesitation!
The old Party secretary tried to smooth things over: "Let's eat and chat at the same time!"

The four people present started eating.

However, the old branch secretary and Zhou Yimin did not eat much, they just moved a little bit for the sake of gesture.

Huang Jianguo couldn't hold back any longer. If the village chief hadn't stopped him, the steamed buns and cabbage soup would have been gone long ago.

The old branch secretary and Zhou Yimin did not talk now, but waited until Village Chief Huang and others had eaten and drunk their fill before talking.

Huang Jianguo used both hands to finish a steamed bun in one hand and two or three bites. If he felt it was too much to swallow, he would drink a mouthful of cabbage soup.

In comparison, Village Chief Huang is much more gentle. Although he is not slow, he looks much more pleasing to the eye.

In this way, after waiting for nearly half an hour, all the steamed buns and cabbage soup on the table were eaten.

Village Chief Huang looked at the messy dining table and felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry for making you laugh."

The old branch secretary shook his head: "It's okay, let's talk about it now!"

"Okay." Village Chief Huang said quickly.

Zhou Yimin asked, "Village Chief Huang, how many grain seeds does your village need...or should I say seeds?"

Although Village Chief Huang was a little surprised as to why this young man came to talk, he didn't care: "Our village needs about 800 kilograms of seeds!"

After saying this, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly.

When the old branch secretary heard this number, he thought it was a bit too much. Although there were some seeds left in the village, 800 kilograms meant that almost all of the seeds had to be given away.

Just look at Zhou Yimin to see if there is any way to help.

When Zhou Yimin heard this, he realized that the 800 kilograms was not impossible to produce: "I can sell you 800 kilograms of seeds, but you can't tell anyone else."

There must be many other villages that have this kind of problem, but he can't help so many people. Otherwise, if he is so high-profile, it won't be long before someone comes to investigate.

If we cannot clearly explain the origin of the seeds or other sources, we will be mistaken for enemy agents, which will be troublesome.

Although he invented many things and helped the country, in such a sensitive period, even if he was not sent away for a peanut, he would be imprisoned and would never have freedom in his life.

This is definitely unacceptable.

Village Chief Huang was very excited and grabbed Zhou Yimin's hand: "Comrade, are you telling the truth?"

You know, he went to many places but didn't buy any seeds. This kind of thing is under state control, and it is not an easy thing to get it.

"Sorry, I was a little excited."

He quickly let go of his hand.

The old branch secretary knew that Zhou Yimin must have a way to get the seeds, otherwise he would not have agreed so easily.

It seems that if the village is short of seeds in the future, we can discuss with Zhou Yimin to see if we can buy more.

Village Chief Huang calmed down and said, "Comrade, how much do you want for 800 kilograms of seeds?"

Although the village still has some savings, if Zhou Yimin offers a "sky-high price", it will be troublesome if all the money in the village is not enough to pay.

Zhou Yimin thought about it. Now one hundred kilograms costs about 25 yuan. It definitely cannot be sold at the original price. Even in the village, the price has to be increased a little, let alone other villages.

"Eight hundred kilograms of seeds, two hundred and forty yuan."

When Village Chief Huang heard the price, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was only a slight increase. After all, no ticket was required, so a slight increase was normal.

"Thank you, but we don't have that much money with us. Can we go back and get the money?"

Not only do we have to get the money, but we also have to pull the donkey cart from the village over, otherwise how can we transport 800 kilograms of seeds back?

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

However, seeing that Huang Jianguo didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, he quickly pulled him away.

"Go away now, and don't embarrass me anymore."

After hearing the village chief's gritting teeth voice, he left reluctantly.
