Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

After driving for a while, the car stopped near the bicycles, and Gao Dazhi got off and rode back.

……

In the car, I chatted and laughed with Zheng Yueshan.

They mainly asked about hunting.

Zhao Qingsong naturally gave a brief explanation of what he could say.

The car arrived at the steel plant canteen.

The canteen manager ran out excitedly when he heard that they had caught some prey.

The other person was around forty or fifty years old, not fat, but definitely not the typical thin type of person these days; clearly, the cafeteria food was quite greasy.

"Captain Zheng! Where did you get such a big wild boar?! Goodness, it's huge!"

When the director came out and saw the pork in the car, he was naturally surprised.

Zheng Yueshan chuckled and said, "Director Bao, this was fetched from the mountains by the security department. Gao Dazhi rode his bike and will be back soon. This is also an officer from the security department; you'll hand over the coal to him, as we still need to haul it away!"

After saying that, he turned to Zhao Qingsong and said, "Qingsong, this is Director Bao."

Zhao Qingsong glanced at it.

Director Bao has already started calling on the canteen staff to move the pigs.

The items were quickly unloaded from the vehicle.

Zheng Yueshan gave him a brief instruction to come back and then drove away.

Director Bao was not familiar with Zhao Qingsong and assumed that someone else had hit him.

He smiled and said, "Let's weigh it first, and I'll give you a receipt later."

"good!"

The cafeteria staff acted quickly.

Weigh.

After a while, Director Bao led him to the canteen office.

"Officer Zhao, everything has been weighed. The two wild boars weighed 153 jin each and 191 jin each, totaling 344 jin. The pheasants and rabbits, nine rabbits and four pheasants, weigh a total of 372 jin. You and your department together weigh 37 jin and 2 liang. I'll write you a receipt in a bit."

Zhao Qingsong was pondering over there.

He can get 9.3 jin (4.5 kg) of meat, and everyone else in the department can get nearly 1 jin (0.5 catties) of meat, which is not a small amount.

These are things that can be eaten openly, after all, the countryside is still in the commune era, and everything belongs to the state.

Hunting pheasants is alright.

If you hunt wild boars, you definitely can't keep them around; it's only in mountainous areas where regulations are more lax that things are a bit better.

This won't work.

These days, eating meat can actually get you reported. Even the elderly tighten their belts and don't eat meat, so why would you eat meat of dubious origin?

You've gotten quite bold, haven't you?

She smiled and agreed, "Okay! I understand."

However, some doubts remained: "Um... doesn't that count towards the meat drop rate?"

Pork has a yield rate.

As Director Bao wrote the note, he chuckled, "Of course I know. Hunting isn't easy. If we're counting the meat as clean meat, what about the offal and pork fat? It's a mess, so the higher-ups arranged it this way. Your security department's really made a name for themselves!"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingsong smiled and said nothing more.

This is a perfect way to divide it.

It's also because the prey is harder to hunt now, and it's not as easy as imagined. If it were two people, they might not be able to catch it.

And it's also very dangerous.

signature.

The other party began counting the hostages.

"Here are the warrant and receipt. Take them with you; you'll be taking them home later."

"good!"

Zhao Qingsong smiled as he accepted the meat ticket.

He has no shortage of money or meat, but he lacks the opportunity to eat meat openly and honestly.

……

He took the ticket and went straight back to his department.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Gao Dazhi, covered in blood, returning and parking his car.

Zhao Qingsong walked over with a smile.

Gao Dazhi parked his car and walked over, excitedly asking, "How much is it in total?"

Zhao Qingsong chuckled, took out the meat ration coupon and the note, and handed them to him: "A total of 37.2 jin, 9.3 jin each for the two of us, 9.3 jin for the department, and 7.5 jin each for them."

Gao Dazhi chuckled.

He handed the meat coupons to him and said with a smile, "Take ours first, and we'll give them the coupons later. These meat coupons aren't the ones from outside; they're company coupons. You can exchange them for meat in the canteen, or you can take them to the canteen to collect meat directly. I suggest you go collect the meat; we hunted the game, so you can get a fatter one."

My mouth is watering.

I gave him the meat ration coupons and directly handed him three jin (1.5 kg).

"Here, I took your chicken the other day. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get so much meat today. Here, take this."

Zhao Qingsong looked at the hostage and hesitated for a moment.

He shook his head: "Brother Gao, no need. These hostages are enough for me. There will be plenty of opportunities to get out in the future. Besides, those pheasants aren't that heavy."

"No way, would I just take your money for nothing? Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten the other tickets! I'd get six pounds of meat for free. Here you go."

I forced it on him.

Zhao Qingsong insisted, and in the end only took one jin (500g) as a token gesture.

"Alright, I'll just take one pound. I'd feel bad if I took more."

He didn't want to pass the buck and end up looking like he was the one trying to curry favor.

Seeing this, Gao Dazhi ultimately did not insist.

"Alright then, I've gotten the better deal, bro. Let's go to the department; they probably don't know about this yet!"

After saying that, he smiled and led him back to the department.

……

"Oh my god! Dazhi, what happened to you guys? Weren't you going hunting? How did you get like this? Are you injured?"

A man in his thirties or forties walked out of the section chief's office.

Seeing this scene naturally brought a sense of surprise.

Before the two could speak, Sun Guodong, who had followed behind, asked, "What happened? Are you alright?"

A hint of doubt crossed his face.

Gao Dazhi looked at the bloodstains on his body and chuckled: "Section Chief, today, the two of us went into the mountains and hunted some big guys, two wild boars, weighing over 300 jin each."

"What?"

Sun Guodong was surprised for a moment, then gave him a strange look: "When did you become so capable? You've been there a few times, and the best you've ever done is catch two rabbits! And that was in the fall!"

Gao Dazhi gave an awkward laugh: "You can't blame me for this! The entire mountain area has been ransacked; the people there probably aren't in much better shape!"

He then glanced at Zhao Qingsong and said, "But this time it's all thanks to Qingsong. Old squad leader, you have no idea how good this kid is! He's incredibly accurate at finding prey—two pigs, nine rabbits, and four pheasants."

"what?"

Both of them looked at Zhao Qingsong in surprise.

The stranger sized him up, then said suspiciously, "Dazhi, are you kidding me? This kid can't possibly be that good!"

Gao Dazhi rolled his eyes: "Tiger, if I were that capable, I would have taken the blame for myself long ago. Why would I put it on his head? You don't know, that kid is a master at tracking. That night..."

I gave a brief explanation of the situation.

Zhao Qingsong was also there listening.

Tiger?

It must be the same person who went out to catch thieves at night during the meeting before; this is the first time I've seen them today.

Sun Guodong looked you over and laughed, "I didn't know you were so capable! Our department has really found a gem! I just wonder if your luck will always be this good?"

Zhao Qingsong smiled and said, "It should be alright! This is a skill to earn a living, not luck."

The staff reduction is imminent; I estimate that the higher-ups have already held a meeting about it.

After all, the staff cleanup will begin around New Year's Day.

He had to demonstrate his value to avoid being laid off, and even managed to get his parents jobs at the steel mill.

He remembered that after New Year's Day, a notice would be issued to stop recruiting workers from rural areas and to begin dismissing employees recruited from rural areas after December 1957.

At first, I was a temporary worker, and then I became a permanent employee.
