Jing Qisheng, the white-haired old leader, had his hands on his waist and his back to everyone, looking at the warehouse full of grain in front of him without saying a word for a long time.
Shen Guoming and Liu Shengli, who had a bruised nose and face, stood behind Leader Jing, glaring at each other, and continued to fight at odds with each other.
Ma Weiping covered his mouth and snickered, Lin Sanqi looked confused, and the young employees of the two hospitals did not dare to breathe.
After a long time, Leader Jing asked in a low voice:
"Shen Guoming, how much food is there?"
Dean Shen did not dare to be naughty at this time, and felt slightly uneasy in his heart, but he still answered honestly:
"Here, there are 50 tons of corn noodles and 50 tons of millet noodles here, but old leader, these grains are from our traditional Chinese medicine hospital..."
"Okay, no need to say it."
The big leader stretched out his hand and remained motionless to stop Shen Guoming from continuing, and continued to say calmly:
"100 tons of grain? Haha, Shen Guoming, you are so talented. You are more promising than other brothers. If so, give me 30 tons of grain immediately and send it to the headquarters. I want it."
Dean Shen opened his mouth, glared hatefully at Ma Weiping, who was gloating about his misfortune, and replied bravely:
"Report: Received, send 30 tons of grain to the headquarters tomorrow morning!"
Liu Shengli was anxious, wondering why the foreign aid he had solicited did not speak for the digital hospital, but instead put food in his pockets? Even if you are an old leader, that is too much:
"Old leader, we and our digital hospital have hundreds of inpatients waiting for food. Shen Guoming wants to monopolize so much food. This kind of thing is really unconscionable and goes too far."
Dean Shen was feeling aggrieved at this time. As soon as he heard this, he punched Liu Shengli in the face with his fist:
"Fuck you, I got all this food in exchange for ginseng. Is it easy for me? If you have the ability, you can find the food yourself. What's the point of trying to trick others? You were a living bandit back then, and you're still an old bastard now."
Not only was Liu Shengli not angry, but he was happy:
"Wait, what did you just say? The food was exchanged for ginseng? Is there such a good thing?"
Leader Jing also turned around, his eyes full of doubts.
Beginning in 1959, food was like heaven and earth, and could not be exchanged for gold. A pound of flour was sold for 5 yuan on the black market, which shows how precious food is.
Regardless of whether you have paintings by Tang Bohu, calligraphy by Zhao Mengfu, or jades from the Five Famous Kilns and Four Famous Kilns, none of the antiques and antiques that you spent a lot of money on back then are no longer usable. If you want to exchange them for food, there is no way.
Even if you want to exchange big yellow croaker or small yellow croaker for food, it depends on other people's faces. If I give you a gold ring in exchange for 10 kilograms of stick noodles, will you exchange it?
By the same token, if people are starving to death, who will take ginseng seriously? It’s not like you can live forever if you eat it, and you won’t be immersed in any poison.
Shen Guoming knew that there was a problem in his neck and said arrogantly: "Can't we exchange ginseng for food?"
Liu Shengli is a little anxious:
"Of course not. If ginseng can be exchanged for food, wouldn't all the ginseng farmers in Changbai Mountain become fat and fat? I just went there on a business trip in the first half of the year. Because the ginseng farmers don't grow food, they can't sell ginseng. Go out, the situation is so bad now.”
Lin Sanqi was frightened when she heard this. She thought that her dean was such a smart person, but why did he lose his mind when he met his old friend?
Dean Shen continued to scratch his neck and snorted:
"That's because you, Fatty Liu, are incompetent. Who am I? I was called Little Zhuge back then. You can't do anything but I can do something. A wolf walks a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog walks a thousand miles to eat shit. Now do you know the difference between us? Hahaha .”
As a result, Leader Jing chuckled and said:
"I was called Big Zhuge back then, but even I couldn't get so much food. Now you, little Zhuge, have improved your skills. Since you can get food so easily, why don't you support me more?"
Dean Shen knew that he had boasted too much and quickly begged for mercy:
"No, no, I have enough food. You should also have heard that I built a farm to house the employees and their families who were laid off. I have to support these people, otherwise they will really starve to death. .”
Everyone present sighed after hearing this: "Yes, it is difficult, it is difficult..."
Ma Weiping suddenly interrupted:
"Old Shen, our family doesn't speak the same language. It's not just your traditional Chinese medicine hospital that has ginseng. Our digital hospital also has a lot of inventory. Tell us your channels and we'll exchange some for food. .”
Dean Shen laughed and said: "Oh, you are making a mistake by exchanging ginseng for food. Don't forget what you are wearing?"
Ma Weiping rolled his eyes: "You know you made a mistake and you dare to exchange food? You are unorganized and undisciplined. Old leader, confiscate all the food from this old guy."
Liu Shengli quickly sang the double act:
"Old Shen, Brother Shen, it doesn't matter whether you make mistakes now. People are going to starve to death. Who cares whether they are mistakes or not? The biggest mistake now is to let patients starve and employees suffer, so you just Hand over the food channels.”
Leader Jing was also very interested: "Yes, Xiao Zhuge, I am also very interested."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that these old guys here were all members of the same family, and he was an outsider. Would he be exposed to kill the sacrificial flag to cheer up his fellow apprentices? Looks like he's going to run away with the bucket.
Dean Shen's eyes were rolling, thinking that although they had just fought well, we are all old brothers. Is he really watching them suffer from hunger?
And if he doesn't find a way for them today, the remaining 70 tons of food will not be saved either.
"Old leader, I really can't say where this food comes from. If I tell you, I'll be doing harm to others. But if you have precious Chinese medicinal materials such as ginseng, donkey hide gelatin, musk, bezoar, ambergris, rhinoceros horn, etc., you can give them to I, I will find a way to get food for you.”
After Dean Shen finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Lin Sanqi. He was sure that Lin Sanqi would not miss this good opportunity to make a profit.
Until now, even Shen Guoming, known as Little Zhuge, still believed that Lin Sanqi got the food from the black market, otherwise there would be no way to explain where the food came from.
Even if Lin Sanqi dares to tell him now that he has traveled through time, Dean Shen may not believe it. He has never read the Qidian novel...
When Liu Shengli heard this, he slapped Shen Guoming on the shoulder:
"Okay, you must keep your word. I will go back to the hospital now to collect Chinese medicinal materials. You must exchange food for me."
Shen Guoming has no objection, but his old boss and leader are still present. They can represent the organization. A few of them here have been discussing speculation. Is this really no problem?
So he motioned to Leader Jing with his eyes, and both Liu Shengli and Ma Weiping looked nervously at the usually stern old leader.
Leader Jing blinked, "What are you looking at me for?"
Liu Shengli rubbed his hands and asked carefully: "Old leader, this, this, can you turn a blind eye to what we are doing today..."
Leader Jing slowly stomped around the grain pile and said with a smile:
"The source of food now is nothing more than the black market. I think the source of food in the black market is impossible in China. The major granaries are now under military control. No big rat dares to risk beheading to flow food to the black market. .
So the most likely source of these grains is overseas, or the Xiangjiang area of our country, and then secretly smuggled in through secret channels, so these grains are not within the scope of national control. Xiao Shen, am I correct in my guess? ”
Dean Shen's back was wet with sweat when he heard this. In 1960, overseas relations, whether it was the polar bears in the north, Sam Country on the other side, or distant Europe, no one was our friend.
We also have many friends, such as the black uncles in Africa, the poor uncles in Latin America, and the countries with big noses in Eastern Europe.
These countries are poorer than us and have less food than we do. It would be nice if they don’t come to us to enjoy the autumn breeze. How can they still export food to our country?
If the food is obtained from overseas, it is most likely from those capitalist countries, and the serious consequences are really unimaginable.
This is good, the big leader found the loophole as soon as he guessed.
The whole place was quiet, everyone knew that whatever they said now was wrong.
But the leader of the knowledge scene laughed out loud:
"Hey, why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Are you scared? Liu Shengli, Shen Guoming, you guys keep fighting, you are childish.
Food, this is a good thing, a strategic material, and the basis for each of us to survive. What is there to be afraid of? So I don’t care where this food comes from, even if it is sent by Chang Kaishen, I will still accept it!
Exchange, exchange Chinese medicinal materials for food, this business can be done, we soldiers are based on results, what we want is the final victory, as for the process, it is not important. Were the Japanese not part of our transport brigade back then? We use the enemy's food and guns to defeat the enemy. What's wrong? ”
Liu Shengli's eyes lit up when he heard this:
"Yes, we take advantage of using some medicinal materials grown in the ground to exchange for food. Chinese medicinal materials are not strategic materials. If they are used up this year, they can be dug next year. Anyway, they will grow one after another. ”
Dean Shen almost sat down on the ground after hearing this. Fortunately, his old leader was not a boss who played by the rules. If he met an ideological and political cadre today, he would probably be doomed.
At this time, Lin Sanqi looked at the big leader a few more times, thinking that this old leader was so courageous and open-minded, and he would probably suffer a lot in a few years.
Ma Weiping took the opportunity to please:
"Brother Shen, my younger brother hasn't asked you for anything after all these years. You can give me some of the food today, and I won't take it for free. How about I trade ginseng for you? I'm begging you."
< br>
Dean Shen sighed,
"Okay, you can exchange it for ginseng worth 100,000 yuan. I've made the decision. I'll give you 20 tons of grain. Ah, I'm really at a loss in this business."
Lin Sanqi almost vomited blood, thinking to herself, I only charge you 100,000 yuan for ginseng for the 100 tons of grain in the warehouse, okay?
Black, so damn dark! (End of chapter)
