Film and television urban drama starts from Nothing But Thirty

"Mr. Chen, let's be frank! We would like you to help us buy a batch of soap and rice. The supply and marketing cooperative is running out of goods now," Vice President Wang Zhongjun said bluntly. He was born a soldier and would not beat around the bush.

"I don't know, how much is needed!"

The two of them were delighted when they heard this! They secretly thought that there was something going on.

"Five million pieces of soap, and 1000 million catties of rice, which is tons." Wang Zhongjun tentatively said a number. He was just trying to make a guess.

"No problem at all. Soap is 2 cents a piece. Rice is also 2 cents a pound. What do you think of the price?" Chen Fang knew that the supply and marketing cooperative was getting a great bargain at this price.

Rice is now 3 cents a pound on the market, and soap is sold at 5 cents a piece at the supply and marketing cooperative. It's too cheap to keep it here. I don't know what the quality is like.

Chen Fang saw what the two meant and took out a bar of soap and rice samples from his pocket. In fact, they were the ones he had just purchased from the system mall.

"Here is the sample, take a look! By the way, payment is made upon delivery. If you place an order now, it will arrive at the port in about three days. Of course, the subsequent customs matters will be handled by your supply and marketing cooperative."

They were both pleasantly surprised to hear this. They no longer had to worry about anything. They hurriedly checked the samples carefully. The quality was too good. Rice these days was not polished. A lot of it was yellow.

Such white rice, such good soap. The vice president of the supply and marketing cooperative hesitated and expressed his opinion immediately.

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your help! Please ship the goods as soon as possible, how about that?"

Chen Fang nodded, "Okay, I'll send a telegram to Hong Kong right away and start loading the goods tonight!" Anyway, all the goods will be shipped to the port by sea through the system, so Chen Fang is not afraid of any mistakes.

Wang Zhongjun calculated the time and realized that they would soon reach the port and the shortage of supplies in the capital would be solved right away. He heaved a sigh of relief.

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Zhongjun hurriedly drafted the purchase contract. After signing the contract, he felt much more relaxed. This was the big stone pressing on his head.

After finishing their business, they started chatting!

After all, Chen Fang came from the future, so his vision was naturally impeccable, and he soon became chatting enthusiastically with the two of them.

...

It was getting late, so the two of them stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Wang Zhongjun held Chen Fang's hand tightly.

"Mr. Chen, I'm leaving this matter to you!"

This is his last hope. If he cannot resolve this issue, he, as the vice president, will feel overwhelmed. Now many letters of complaint have been received, making him complain bitterly.

"President Wang, don't worry! Just go to the port to pick up the goods in three days!" This was originally arranged by the system. Would it delay any time?

After the two were sent away, Xu Damao's family was in an uproar.

"This Chen Fang is really an important figure. The people who just came to visit him are all leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative."

Chapter 171 Envy.

Qin Jingru was furious when she saw his expression, "What's the point of envying others? It's not your own!"

Tonight gave her a huge shock, and now the more she looks at Xu Damao, the more she dislikes him.

"You don't understand. There are so many people in the compound, why did they only invite us two and not others?" Xu Damao did not hear his dissatisfaction, but spoke to himself.

"Are you related to him?"

"I wish I were his relative, then we would be on the road to glory and success soon!" This was also what Xu Damao couldn't understand, but now the most important thing was to hold on to the other party's thigh. He didn't have much money anyway, so he wasn't afraid that Chen Fang would cheat him.

The two chatted with each other.

...

"Xu Damao is really good at currying favor with people. He curried favor with Director Li back then... and now he's currying favor with Chen Fang in the courtyard." He Yuzhu from the Jia family complained at the dinner table. He Yuzhu now has no house left and gave it all to the children of the Jia family to live in.

Besides, he hasn't married Qin Huairu yet, and he doesn't know where such an idiot came from.

"Come on, silly dad! Chen is an overseas Chinese who returned from abroad. He is not so easy to be fooled..." Huaihua said, and her way of addressing him was grammatically incorrect.

Bang Geng frowned and said, "Huaihua, why do you always speak up for Chen Fang? Do you like him?"

Suddenly a young man came into the yard, and Banggeng felt that his limelight was stolen.

"Brother, what are you talking about? I'm just stating my own opinion."

She thought to herself that it would take someone who thinks highly of her to do that. Apart from anything else, it would take several people in her family several years to do those things even if they didn't eat or drink.

"When expressing your opinion, don't be so unsympathetic. Don't you know the relationship between Xu Damao and our family?" Bang Geng said.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Xiao Tang finally came to our house as a guest today! What are you guys arguing about?" Qin Huairu stopped the two from arguing. Wouldn't it be a joke if her son's girlfriend came to visit for the first time?

The brother and sister stopped arguing, but everyone could see that they were not convinced.

Other families in the yard were also talking about Chen Fang's arrival. There are not many entertainment activities these days, so what they do is just these things.

Chen Fang finally settled down in the courtyard, but he was alone on his first day and felt uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it was a busy day today and I soon felt sleepy.

The next day, Chen Fang got up early and bought the things the supply and marketing cooperative needed from the system mall. Now he was buying on credit, so fortunately he only had to pay when he picked up the goods at the port.

I'm planning to go out for a stroll, but I lack a guide. It's hard to find the way these days.

At this time Xu Damao came over, "Brother Chen Fang, you got up so early! Do you have any plans for today?" Just when he was saying that there was no one to lead the way, someone came. Chen Fang didn't want Xu Damao to accompany him. What was wrong with a grown man like that?

"Oh, it's Brother Xu! I'm going out to do something,"

The two of them came to the middle courtyard chatting and laughing.

If we were to say which family has the most houses in the Hongxing Siheyuan today, it would still be the Jia family.

Originally they only had one room in the courtyard, but after He Yuzhu married into the family.

He Yuzhu has one room for himself, He Yushui has one room, and the deaf old lady has one room. You say the Jia family is awesome or not, Xu Damao introduced the composition of these houses to Chen Fang in detail.

Chen Fang nodded. This was much more information than what he got from the TV series. This He Yuzhu was really a fool. He deserved to starve to death under the bridge when he was old.

When He Yuzhu saw the two of them, he thought of their dinner party last night and rolled his eyes. "Xiaodang Huaihua, come out, Banggeng!"

"What's wrong, silly dad? Is there something wrong?" The three children were a little confused.

"Well, the weather is hot now. If you guys are free, move our long table to the yard. I'll cook tonight and we can have a good gathering at home."

His voice was so loud that the two of them couldn't help but hear it even if they didn't want to. Chen Fang was wondering what this silly Zhu meant.

Xu Damao said sarcastically, "Sha Zhu is having a dinner party tonight. I wonder if there will be dishes like lobster, king crab, and abalone!" He knew why Sha Zhu mentioned the dinner party in front of the two of them and deliberately said something to provoke Sha Zhu.

"What's the matter, have you eaten these dishes before or what?" He Yuzhu had only heard of these things but had never cooked them. How could he believe that Xu Damao had eaten these things?

"Let me tell you, last night..." Xu Damao was about to speak when he was pulled away by Chen Fang.

Now Chen Fang also understood that He Yuzhu was dissatisfied with him. He thought, I haven't even made a move on you yet, but you can't sit still.

"Brother Xu, there's no need to bother with him."

"Okay, let's listen to Brother Chen Fang!"

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, the two parted ways! Xu Damao had to go to the cinema to work, and Chen Fang had to pretend to send a telegram and make a phone call, otherwise how could he explain the freight matter.

After finishing these things, Chen Fang bought some fruits. Basically, he just found a box and took them out from the system space. Then he slowly prepared to walk back to the courtyard.

I met the third uncle again at the door. It was also the third uncle Yan Fugui who had retired. It was hard not to meet him since he sat at the door every day.

"Uncle San, right? I heard you are a teacher, right? Can you help me write a job advertisement? I'll give you two dollars after that."

"Okay, we're from the same courtyard, why are you being so polite? I'll write it for you even if you don't pay me!"

If you don't pay, Yan Fugui will not write anything for you. He is such a stingy person that he will pluck even a few feathers from you.

I just want to find someone to clean the house, wash vegetables and cook. Note that there are two of us. Generally, only one person is needed, but will Chen Fang only need one person?

After listening to Chen Fang's recruitment notice, the third uncle's eyes instantly lit up, because Chen Fang offered a very high salary of 90 yuan per person per month, which was higher than the wages of % of the people in the yard.

"Chen Fang, do you think we can let Auntie Three go? She works very hard..." Such treatment is really enviable, eighty yuan per month, a super high salary.

Chen Fang rolled his eyes when he heard this. You must be dreaming! I made this specifically for Huaihua and Xiaodang. Why do you need your third aunt to do this?

Don’t you have any idea?

"Uncle, if you're busy I'll ask someone else to write it!"

"No, no, I'll write it for you right away! I'll send it to you later..." The third uncle also understood. Chen Fang didn't want the third mother to go. If it really didn't work, he could let his eldest daughter-in-law go. However, it seemed that they were instigating the opening of a restaurant or something recently.

He smiled awkwardly! He didn't want to lose the two dollars he had earned.

"Well, thank you in advance!"

Chen Fang slowly returned to his yard, put down his things, and checked the transportation of the goods...

Chapter 172 The third uncle comes to the door.

At this rate, we will soon reach the port and pick up the phone that was installed yesterday.

I called Wang Zhongjun and the call was connected quickly.

"Hello, President Wang! The goods have left the port and will arrive at Tianjin Port in two days..."

Wang Zhongjun on the other end of the phone was extremely excited, "Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. I will go to the customs to handle the formalities right away!" After hanging up the phone, the supply and marketing cooperative became busy as the procedures for the entry of thousands of tons of goods were essential.

However, because the goods were from the supply and marketing cooperative, and not from later times, the customs would not be as strict.

...

Chen Fang thought about it and realized that after this transaction, he could make a minimum profit of more than one million Chinese Yuan. This might not be considered a huge amount in later generations, but it was an astronomical figure at the moment, and it was estimated that there was no such figure in the entire country.

But Chen Fang is not afraid. Now that the special period has passed, he knows that with the course of history, the market will become more and more open.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. It must be the third uncle who had finished writing.

"Chen Fang, I have written it for you, take a look at it!"

I have to say that Yan Laokou's handwriting skills are quite good, and his regular script is written neatly.

"Not bad, not bad, Uncle! It's well written. Here's five dollars, no need to give me the change!" Chen Fang handed over the five dollars, not expecting him to give him the remaining dollar.

The Third Uncle is not one of the people that Chen Fang hates the most in the courtyard. There is a reason for the deduction. The whole family depends on his salary to make a living. How can he not be calculating?

If he didn't plan his life carefully, he wouldn't be able to raise Yan Jiecheng and his brothers and sisters.

"Okay, thank you in advance!"

He had earned another five dollars in just a few minutes. Chen Fang was really generous! He began to look around the room and was amazed.

"Uncle, please sit down for a while. I'll make you a cup of coffee."

"Okay, Third Uncle, I haven't tasted what coffee tastes like yet!" Yan Fugui was not polite either. Didn't he come here just to get some benefits?

It was actually the instant coffee of later generations, which could be made by just mixing it with hot water. It was quickly brought to the third uncle!

"Uncle, try it! If you like it, take a few bags back..." He then pointed to several small bags on the table.

Yan Fugui took a sip and didn't think it was very good. However, it might be because he just couldn't drink this foreign stuff. No matter how it tasted, he had to take these small bags of coffee back. If he didn't like it, then his wife and children wouldn't like it either.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Chen Fang learned that her eldest daughter-in-law was raising money to open a restaurant. This was a good opportunity! I don't know what Yu Li looks like now. If she looks like in the original drama, she's pretty much the same.

An hour later, the third uncle left Chen Fang's house leisurely. Although he thought the coffee was not very good, he still added water several times. He thought coffee was the same as tea, just add water if it tasted bland!

I had a few small packages of coffee in my pocket. I wrote two job postings today and earned five dollars and a few bags of coffee for free. I was so happy.

Chen Fang was also impressed by how talkative this uncle was. I guess this was also a characteristic of this era. They all liked to chat! If you were a beauty, it would be fine. But what was the point of an old man chatting here?

I saw that it was almost lunch time, so I posted the job posting at the gate of the yard! It was an interview anyway, and the position was reserved for Huaihua Xiaodang, so no one else could get the interview.

After posting, I came back to cook! I bought a bag of hot pot base from the mall, as well as some hot pot dishes such as tripe, yellow throat and duck intestines, and started preparing lunch, because it is easy, you can just throw in the base and start cooking.

However, Chen Fang still underestimated the aroma of the hot pot, which filled the whole yard! People in the compound smelled the aroma coming from Chen Fang's house. It was the first time for them to smell the aroma of butter and chili mixed together.

At the third uncle's house, they had porridge and steamed bread for lunch today! The current living standard is similar to that in 65, usually porridge or steamed bread, pickles and the like.

"What delicious food did Chen Fang make? If I had known this, I would have stayed a little longer. Maybe I could have had a free meal!" The third uncle muttered a few words, becoming more and more envious of Chen Fang's life.

"You've made so much money today, be content!"

The three aunts comforted her.

At this time, only Jia Zhang was eating steamed bread at home! Fortunately, the children were not at home, otherwise they would have quarreled again. "This Chen Fang is really something. He makes delicious food every day, but why doesn't he know how to respect the elderly and love the young!"

Jia Zhang cursed, "Respect the elderly? Is an old thing like her worthy of it?"

...

Chen Fang didn't know what other people in the yard were thinking. He was enjoying his meal! Don't say that in this era, as long as you have enough supplies, it doesn't matter if you have less entertainment.

Huaihua came back from work at this time. She has no job now! She just works as a handyman in the street office, sweeping the streets or doing odd jobs, earning more than ten yuan a month.
