The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 124: Boar Belly and Rifle
When they arrived at the transport station, the guard opened the gate directly when he saw Jiang Che's car.

"Master Jiang~~."

"Old Zhao, we have brought back a big wild boar. Can you ask two people to carry it directly to the cafeteria kitchen? It will take too much time to ask Director Liu to call for help."

After the security guard Lao Zhao opened the door, he wanted to greet Jiang Cheng, maybe he could smoke a cigarette with him. Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng suddenly said that he had brought back a big wild boar. Lao Zhao also looked at the back of the car and it was true.

Jiang Cheng brought a wild boar back to the company, so it was obvious that everyone in the company might have a share. There were only two possibilities: one was that everyone paid for it, and the other was that the company bought it and distributed the wild boar meat to everyone.

No matter which one it is, it is a good thing for everyone in the unit.

Old Zhao immediately went to the security department lounge next to the guard duty room to call for help, and three or four people rushed out at once. Jiang Cheng was not polite, and asked everyone to get in the car and drove directly to the canteen kitchen. There was a place to unload vegetables behind the canteen kitchen.

The car stopped behind the kitchen, and the chef and staff came out. They saw the security personnel carrying a wild boar that had not been slaughtered from the car. They knew that this afternoon would not be an easy one, but for the chef, it was time to make some money.

Jiang Cheng didn't stay here, just told the chef to remember to weigh it. He had to hand in the delivery note and then report to Director Liu.

See if Director Liu can get him a rifle, just in case he has a chance to encounter a leopard or a tiger in the future. Even if he is not within the space range, he can still have a chance to hunt and kill them.

Holding the delivery note and the toothpaste and toothbrush brought from Shanghai, Jiang Cheng first came to the dispatch room.

The delivery order was handed over, and the toothpaste and toothbrush were directly given to the person who helped to carry the goods last time. One piece of Zhonghua toothpaste and a toothbrush cost a total of 70 cents. The people in the dispatch room were very happy and gave the money for carrying the goods to Jiang Che.

Seventy cents is not expensive for people with jobs, but since it was brought from Shanghai, it is very prestigious to give it to others as a gift, and even if you use it yourself, you can brag about it when others see it.

"Master Jiang, your order is wrong. Why did you go to Nanjing to pick up the goods?" Although Jiang Cheng brought the goods, he still had to check the delivery order. The problematic order had to be handed in. Otherwise, if there was a problem later, the dispatcher would also be held responsible.

"Yes, I'm going to Director Liu now. Do you want to go with me?" Jiang Cheng replied.

The order cannot be falsified, because the transport station will ask the shipping units for freight according to the order. Although information is not well developed in this era, the process is actually very complete.

Jiang Cheng asked the dispatcher to go with him to see the director of the logistics department. Even if Director Liu signed the receipt, the order would be fine. Because at his level, he could say that it was a transportation order based on personal relationships, and Jiang Cheng was specially asked to go there to transport the goods. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

The dispatcher nodded immediately and went with Jiang Cheng to find Director Liu. In the logistics director's office, Director Liu was drinking tea and approving some documents.

"Director, there is a big wild boar caught in the mountains. Would our unit take it in?" Jiang Cheng started talking about the wild boar as soon as he entered the door.

"Is this true? You can't joke about this." Director Liu stood up when he heard Jiang Cheng's words.

In some rural mountainous areas, some people did organize wild boar hunting, but the meat was shared among everyone. Because of the establishment of the commune, hunters were also members, and there were no individual hunters.

"I've already delivered it to the kitchen and asked the people over there to weigh it. You have to issue me a receipt so I can get reimbursed. By the way, the route for the delivery this time was a bit deviated, so I need your signature." Jiang Cheng said, and signaled the dispatcher who came with him to give the receipt to Director Liu.

Director Liu took the delivery document and looked at it. Compared with the overall route, the deviation was 100 to 200 kilometers. Not to mention the time wasted, the fuel consumption was more than 50 liters. But getting a wild boar was not a big deal.

After signing, Director Liu went to the cafeteria kitchen to take a look, and also asked Stationmaster Xu to come with him.

If it is a wild boar, Stationmaster Xu will need it. Stationmaster Xu needs wild boar tripe, and a leader he knows needs it.

Knowing that Jiang Cheng would not joke about this, it would be too inappropriate to make such a joke. So Director Liu and Jiang Cheng left the office and went straight to call Station Master Xu.

Soon, Jiang Cheng, Director Liu, and Stationmaster Xu came to the area behind the canteen kitchen. The pigs had not yet been processed, but the kitchen was already boiling water. The chefs here had processed domestic pigs, but not wild boars. They knew how to cook wild boar meat, but they had never dissected a wild boar.

At the scene, Director Liu directly signed for the weight of the wild boar, which was over 210 kilograms. It was not a particularly large wild boar, but it was not small either.

Wild boars have always been more expensive than domesticated pigs in this era, mainly because wild boars are not included in the planned meat, so there is no requirement for meat coupons to buy them. The only question is whether you can buy them.

You can tell whether domestic pork or wild boar meat is more expensive on the black market, but in this era, Chinese medicine regards wild boar stomach as a tonic.

It is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica that wild boar stomach can stop gastritis, strengthen the stomach and replenish deficiency. In other words, it can regulate stomach problems. In the 1970s, there were many people with stomach problems. People did not have enough food, and many people were hungry and full. The diet was not irregular, but many people could not regulate it.

Many leaders today have come from difficult times. In rural areas and mountainous areas, if they get wild boars, they basically eat the pig stomachs as normal offal. Only the health clinics in the commune will pay to buy them if they know how to do it.

In the urban area, for those who need it, wild boar tripe is considered a "special ingredient". If you sell it to someone who needs it, they may be willing to pay a dozen or even dozens of yuan.

Stationmaster Xu was very happy when he saw the wild boar.

"Master Jiang, please give me this wild boar stomach. I have a friend who needs it." Stationmaster Xu walked up to Jiang Cheng and said with a smile. However, he did not let Jiang Cheng give it to him for nothing. He did not speculate whether Jiang Cheng understood the value of this stomach in the hands of some people in need. He directly handed a ticket to Jiang Cheng when he spoke.

Jiang Cheng took the ticket and looked at it, then immediately put it in his pocket and said with a smile: "I sold the whole pig to my company, and the pig stomach has nothing to do with me. This ticket is for me, so I will accept it."

When Stationmaster Xu heard Jiang Cheng say this, he also smiled and agreed. In fact, Jiang Cheng's words were not wrong. But because he was the one who got the wild boar, he had priority if he wanted to take some parts of the wild boar.

Even if Jiang Cheng sold a whole wild boar to his company, after the company paid him, he wanted some other parts of the wild boar, such as the liver and heart. Maybe the company would give them to him.

The wild boar issue has been resolved. Director Liu and Stationmaster Xu are going to hold a meeting on how to distribute the wild boars. Not only the two of them, but also some other leaders of the transportation station will be notified.

Wild boars are not worth much, if it is a domestic pig, the purchase price is more than 40 cents. The slaughtered wild boar meat is actually only 80 or 90 cents per pound. Because there are meat tickets for domestic pork and wild boar meat, wild boar meat can't sell as well as domestic pigs on the black market.

So Director Liu offered a purchase price of 50 cents, and this wild boar was worth more than 100 yuan. Jiang Cheng said he bought it from someone this morning, and Director Liu asked him if he had lost money at this price, and if so, they could talk about it again.

Jiang Cheng didn't make up how much money he received, he just said he didn't lose money, and in this kind of situation, as long as he didn't lose money, it's fine. If there's no one to prove it, if you say you received it at a certain price, people will speculate whether there is something fishy going on.

"Director Liu, wait a moment, I have something else to ask you. Does our unit have a rifle? I want to get one." Jiang Cheng said to Director Liu who was about to go back to discuss how to deal with the wild boar.

"As for needing a rifle, it's no big deal. The route you chose is towards Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, so why do you need a rifle? It's not chaotic over there." Director Liu replied that the security department had rifles, and it didn't matter if Jiang Cheng took one away. He just needed to get a certificate.

In the first ten years after liberation, many places were still in chaos. It was normal for drivers to be armed with guns, but now few people attack drivers.

But you really need to be careful when transporting in some places. You need to be careful when transporting in Hunan, Sichuan and Guizhou. Because there were many bandits in these places in the past. Although they have been liberated, there are still many descendants of bandits. Some fathers also like to tell their children about their experiences as bandits.

Many times, the speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. There will always be some brainless people who will "return to their roots" and do something.

Director Liu asked this question because he did not suspect that Jiang Cheng wanted to take the rifle to go hunting. Because you go to work to do transportation, and if you go hunting while working, it is against the rules.

"It's for self-defense, to prevent people from stealing things, and to scare people." Jiang Cheng replied.

I have done two long-distance trips. Because I am a driver, I have been to many places and everyone is very welcoming. The fellow drivers I met on the road did not say that there was any chaos here. But some remote areas are a bit chaotic.

But as long as you are not transporting edible things, it is not a big problem. If you are transporting food and fruits, you really need to be careful when you sleep at night. There may be no robbery, but there will be theft.

Director Liu nodded and said that the gun could be given to Jiang Cheng, but it was a loan for the unit. The security department already had a lot of guns, so if they were not enough, they could just apply for a few more.

Guns are basically available in many units and factories. Some factories may even be the predecessors of some military industries merged together. The security departments of some factories not only have guns, but they can also pull out a cannon for you.

Jiang Cheng had not thought that it would be so easy to apply for a rifle. Not only could he get the gun, but he could also get the bullets. All he needed was a certificate from his unit stating the reason for owning a gun. The certificate for a driver's job was easy to get. He just had to write that he needed to protect state property and use it for self-defense.

At the transport station, apart from the security staff, only the drivers can apply for guns, while people in other positions cannot.

The certificate is a simple form, belonging to the unit's gun certificate. It is different from the police and military gun certificates, which are small books.

　I wanted to find a reason to say that there is something bad that I need a rifle, and kill a region, but after checking the information, I found that Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are all good in this era. And I feel that if you really write about that place, you may have to turn over the comments section, or even report the book. You can only objectively talk about some existing problems, and you can't talk about some places based on your own ideas.
　　What's more, it is true. There are good people and bad people everywhere. When the regional artillery is fired, it seems that the place where the protagonist is located will fall first~~.
