I Had a Home In 1982

   Chapter 121 120. Mr. Wang Brings the Goods (6.3K)

  Wang Dongfeng is still at work, and Manshanhua has just returned.

   She was not yet in her fifties, but she was already full of white hair and wrinkled, and no one would doubt if she was in her sixties.

   When Wang Yi arrived, she just sat down and took out a handful of leeks from the basket.

   Seeing Wang Yi come to the door with something, she happily stood up and handed the tumbler: "Mr. Wang, sit down, sit down, and I'll pour you some water."

  Wang Yi told her not to be busy, but she was stubborn and didn't listen to Wang Yi at all. She insisted on pouring him a glass of water and sprinkled some tea in it:

   "Teacher Wang, how does this tea taste like? It was bought by the child's uncle, and he is going to use it for the child's wedding banquet."

Wang Yi tasted it and felt that the taste was not very good, so he said euphemistically: "It's very good tea, very good, but wait for Dongfeng to get the tea from me for the wedding. I brought some tea when I came from the capital. , both black tea and green tea.”

   "Oh, look at these things, can you use them?"

   In addition to the white rabbit toffee, he also brought a thermos, an iron basin, two towels and other small items.

   are all bought in the 22-year market.

  The thermos, iron basin, and towels are retro styles.

Among them, the thermos is made of plastic leather, with the characters of hi in big red printed on the outside; the outer layer of the iron basin is printed with red flowers on the bottom of white porcelain, and the inner layer is made of mandarin ducks playing in water, with the characters of hi in big red on the bottom of the pot; the towel is made of pure cotton red with golden silk threads ,very beautiful.

   is also very cheap.

   He originally wanted to bring Manshanhua back in Shanghai, but these days, the washbasin warmers are all tight supplies. If you need tickets, you need to have a relationship, otherwise you will have to queue.

  Wang Yi, how can there be a queue time? Besides, he doesn't have a light industry ticket in Shanghai.

   So he can only buy it back in 22 years. In 22 years, this thing was bad, but the style was too new. He tried to buy it in the market for the old style.

  Man Shanhua opened her net pocket and was stunned when she saw what was inside. She picked up her favorite thermos and stroked the outer skin and asked happily, "Oh, this pot is beautiful, this pot is really beautiful, did you buy it in Shanghai? Why is it so beautiful?"

   Wang Yi said vaguely: "Yes, I bought it in Shanghai..."

   "Hudu is so good. No wonder now people say that Hudu products are the best in the world. This thermos is so beautiful. The flowers and characters printed on it are so good.

  Wang Yi said: "Not all the kettles in Hudu are like this. This is actually an export model. I bought it from a friend in the foreign trade market!"

   Anyway, things will arrive from Yang Bing and Chen Gu from the foreign trade market in a few days. He can tell these people first, and it will be easy if they are explaining some things.

  Man Shanhua was shocked when she heard this: "The foreign trade market? Is it specialized in trading with foreigners? Mr. Wang, are your classmates there?"

   Now it is widely rumored in the team that Mr. Wang and his classmates are all over the world, and there is a relationship everywhere, and the relationship is very hard.

  Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, it was the units in Hudu that learned from the newspaper that our Tianya Primary School was resuming. They took pity on our poor conditions and offered to donate to our school."

  Man Shanhua said with admiration: "Then this is also a relationship with Mr. Wang, right? Our school has been running for many years, and this is the first time I heard that a unit has donated to us."

   She brought the topic back to the kettle and basin: "Mr. Wang, are you looking for someone too?"

   Wang Yi said: "What am I looking for? I'm not in a hurry."

  Man Shanhua asked: "Then why are you preparing these things for marriage? Prepare them in advance?"

   Wang Yi smiled and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about, can't you guess it, I prepared it for Dongfeng!"

After hearing this, Manshanhua quickly put down the thermos and waved her hands: "Mr. Wang, you are kind, but we can't bear it, these are all things sold to foreigners, they must be very expensive, how do our villagers use them? rise?"

   "Take this thermos and tell me, I have inquired about it. The thermos in the supply and marketing cooperative is four yuan and six apiece. You must be more expensive if you do it so well. You can't sell it for seven or eight yuan apiece?"

   She said and shook her head: "It's good or not, but I really don't need such a good thing to marry Fengzi. Besides, I have prepared everything for his marriage."

  Wang Yi said: "Auntie, I have a good relationship with Fengzi. If he wants to hold a wedding, I must be polite. I will use these things to be polite."

  Man Shanhua was very strong, and categorically refused: "Mr. Wang, look at what you said, you bought cheap food and generators for the team, and Fengzi's marriage is just to give us face, why do you still need your courtesy?"

   "Besides, do you still use this money as a gift? It's useless!"

   Wang Yi said this when he heard people chatting. The outer island wedding gifts are small, fifty cents is not bad, and whoever gives five yuan and ten yuan can take the whole family to dinner.

  Wang Yi persuaded Man Shanhua to accept a few things, but Man Shanhua shook her head and refused to agree, she was very stubborn.

   In the end, she said she was in a hurry. She went in and opened an old wooden cabinet and took out the transparent plastic sheet **** inside, which contained a washbasin and a thermos.

   is still brand new, but can see traces of use.

  Man Shanhua explained embarrassedly: "I bought this from someone two years ago. They haven't used it a few times. It's pretty good. It's okay to use it for Fengzi and his wife."

   The style and style of the things she bought are more backward. The kettle is a tin thermos with a green bottom and large flowers. These are the thermos that were fashionable when they got married in the 1960s and 1970s.

  Wang Yi picked up the thermos and looked at it, and asked, "The seam of the iron sheet is a little rusted, isn't it suitable for Fengzi's wedding? Also, the background color is too green, which is not auspicious."

  Man Shanhua knew this too, she could only say cautiously, "Let's live together, let's live together."

  Wang Yi shook his head: "You may not be willing to make a living with other girls, so let's do it, auntie, you give me your things, and we can exchange..."

   "Mr. Wang, my family can't take advantage of you!" Man Shanhua interrupted him immediately.

   is very strong, very stubborn.

   In fact, Wang Yi felt that no one was taking advantage of this. Before Zhong Shiping introduced him to a business, someone wanted to buy these 70s and 80s-style appliances.

   Originally, he was a little hesitant about this business, because he could only go to the supply and marketing agency to buy these supplies, and the ones available for the marketing agency were too new, and people might not want it.

   He went to the online store to read it in 22 years. There were also these retro-style daily necessities in those years, but they were too new and probably did not meet the requirements of customers.

  The client introduced by Zhong Shiping wants to make a short video with a sense of age, which requires the life products used to have the taste of life.

  This set of wedding supplies prepared by Manshanhua for Wang Dongfeng just meets the requirements, and it is not too outdated with traces of use.

   It happened that the flowers were full of flowers and had a strong temperament, so Wang Yi changed his statement not to give her a gift but to exchange items with her family.

  Man Shanhua still felt bad, but Wang Yi took a firmer attitude this time, and Man Shanhua really liked this new set of thermos, washbasin and other supplies, and finally her tone of refusal became weaker.

  Wang Yi took out the things in her net pocket and pretended to be hers, saying, "Okay, don't fight anymore..."

   "What are you fighting for?" The people who came out of the neighbor's house were the bold daughter-in-law Feng Ya and the young aunt who came out to see her off.

  Fengya leads the smallest leather shoes in the family.

   Leather shoes with sharp eyes, suddenly pointed at the net pocket on the ground and shouted, "Big White Rabbit Toffee!"

  If there is a luxury brand these days, then the White Rabbit Toffee is the luxury of candy.

At the beginning of the planned economy policy, the raw materials for the young heavy industries were all rationed according to the plan. At that time, the white rabbit toffee was short of milk and sugar, and only two tons of finished sugar were produced a day, which were then distributed to the first food store on Jinling Road in Shanghai and the second food store on Huaihai Road. At that time, only a few people could eat this candy.

  Wang Yi read the news and said that the supply was released on the New Year's Eve in the 1960s, and then people couldn't squeeze into the queue.

In the past few years of reform and opening up, the National Planning Conference in September 1979 proposed to implement "six priorities" for light industry, namely, raw materials, fuel, and electricity supply, innovation and transformation, infrastructure construction, bank loans, foreign exchange and imported technology. Transportation takes priority.

  In this way, the development of light industry has obtained unprecedented preferential policies, and the sugar industry has developed rapidly.

  The "Government Work Report" in 1981 also established "putting the development of the consumer goods industry in an important position and further adjusting the service direction of the heavy industry" as a long-term policy for future economic construction.

   So far, the development of light industry has entered the fast lane, and the raw materials for daily necessities have finally been better supplied.

   In this case, the production of white rabbit toffee has been increased, but it has not been increased to meet the needs of the people. Now, white rabbit toffee is still not available casually. It is an exclusive snack in the city and has not been sold in the countryside.

However, the outer islands have more or less relatives in the city. Relatives will bring two important gifts when they visit during the New Year. One is malted milk essence, and the other is white rabbit toffee, so the children in the outer islands also know about the white rabbit. Toffee is a good thing.

Wang Yi's Big White Rabbit Toffee was also bought on the market in 2022. Now the market share of Big White Rabbit toffee has been squeezed by Hsu Fu Chi and foreign candy brands. , The main taste of childhood.

   Therefore, the packaging of the white rabbit toffee he brought is similar to that of this year. Now it is the trademark of the jumping rabbit, which belongs to the classic packaging of the white rabbit toffee.

  The leather shoes ran excitedly at the sight of the big white rabbit toffee, and Feng Ya hurriedly grabbed him, grabbed it, and held it in her hand.

  Aunt Qing looked curiously at the daily necessities on the ground and asked, "Mr. Wang brought things back from Shanghai?"

  Wang Yi said: "Yes, take..."

   "Hey, it's so beautiful." Aunt Qing grabbed the big red warm pot and looked at it, "Look at the big red happy word on the person, how festive."

  My son's wedding supplies were praised by the neighbors, and Manshanhua was full of joy and said, "It's all brought by Mr. Wang. He can help my family a lot this time."

  Aunt Qing also loves this kettle. Whoever adds a new kettle this year is more sensational than adding a water purifier or water heater in 22 years.

   She took off the lid of the pot and blew hard and put her ears to listen. Then she showed a satisfied expression on her face: "Mr. Wang, how much is this pot? It's nice and warm. It's great."

   Wang Yi said vaguely: "It's not much money, it's similar to Aunt Shanhua's original thermos."

   "That's not possible." Aunt Qing shook her head, "If it's really that price, you can help me with one too."

  Fengya teased her: "You are really grasping the flour with wet hands - you will take advantage. This thermos is definitely not cheap. Is it appropriate to give you this at the same price?"

  Aunt Qing has a good relationship with her. She doesn't care about her teasing and picks up the towel to look left and right: "It's really thick. This towel is thick. The two towels in my house are not as thick as others."

  The leather shoes tugged at the front of his mother's clothes and cried and said, "Mother, I want to eat a big white rabbit."

  Fengya led him out, and he lay down on the spot and started rolling!

   This phoenix was going to slap him, but Man Shanhua stopped him and took out two candies from his bag and stuffed them in his hands: "Don't cry, don't roll, get up and show me a show, and my aunt will give you candy."

Leather shoes hurriedly stood up and said: "Big White Rabbit toffee is the country's high-quality toffee, produced by Hudu Guanshengyuan Food Factory. The candy has low sweetness, strong milk flavor and good elasticity, and has won the National Silver Award twice. , it is worth buying by new and old customers!”

   "What is this?" Man Shanhua and Aunt Qing both wondered.

Feng Ya explained helplessly: "I took him to my aunt's house a few days ago. My aunt's neighbor has a TV, so I took him to watch TV, and it happened that the TV program was playing the Big White Rabbit Toffee - no, commercial , he remembered what the ad said."

  Manshanhua stroked the head of the leather shoes and said with a smile, "The leather shoes are up to you, the mind is easy to use, it's really easy to use."

  Fengya is humble, but she is also proud of herself.

  My son has a really good memory. He watched TV and remembered a lot of things!

  The leather shoes hurriedly peeled off a toffee, he didn't stuff it into his mouth, but started to add it from the sticky rice paper, and licked it slowly, his mouth was full of rich and sweet milky fragrance.

  Man Shanhua asked Wang Yi: "Mr. Wang, how much is a pound of white rabbit toffee you bought?"

   Now the Big White Rabbit toffee is distributed and packaged as a whole. The overall package is in red and green iron boxes, which are expensive. It is a gift for cadres.

   The large white rabbit toffee can also be taken out one by one. One large white rabbit toffee is about 6 grams, and it costs 3 cents to take out.

   If it is weighed in terms of jin, it will be cheaper, two yuan per jin.

  Wang Yi weighed a bag of 5 jin, and the smaller bag was a small bag composed of 20 candies, with a standard weight of 114 grams.

   Hesitating in the face of five jins of sugar all over the mountain, but in the end I have to give it up.

   Relatives will come during Chinese New Year and festivals, and they will save face by giving back some White Rabbit toffee at that time.

   He brought Wang Yi 15 yuan and a few tickets, including sugar tickets and light industry tickets, and then apologized to Wang Yi: "Mr. Wang, we have saved two pounds of sugar tickets at home..."

   "Hey, you don't need a ticket." Wang Yi returned the ticket to her, "It was all bought by relationship. They didn't use the ticket, so they directly bought some in the name of the unit and gave me five pounds."

   He also gave out five yuan, and Man Shanhua asked him to accept it: "This is the same as the one you paid for changing the kettle and pot. I know it's not enough..."

   "Enough is enough." Wang Yi shook his head, "Okay, then we'll settle the account. You're busy, I'll go back first."

Man Shanhua went to tie up the leeks he had just picked and handed them to him: "Mr. Wang, there really isn't anything good at home, just the first leeks, they all say that the first leeks are fresh, this is what my sister came to bring to me on Sunday. , don't dislike it, you can take it back and have a taste."

  Wang Yi nodded and took the leeks to leave.

   Then Aunt Qing and Feng Ya chased him out and asked him, "Mr. Wang, if you don't want a ticket, can you still buy a white rabbit toffee?"

   "And that kettle, it's so beautiful, can I buy it without a ticket?"

  Wang Yi asked them: "Do you want?"

Fengya smiled and said, "Who doesn't want it? I want to buy some white rabbit toffee for the two little cubs to eat. I saw an advertisement on the TV of my aunt's neighbor that day, saying that seven white rabbit toffees are equal to a glass of milk, take it back and soak it. water, and let the child drink milk."

  Aunt Qing asked curiously: "Really? Can seven sugars make a cup of milk?"

"Can what is said on TV be fake?" Feng Ya is very determined, "and my aunt's sister also said that when she was studying, the school gave out a glass of milk every day, and one day the milk was out of stock, and the school gave each person two milk. White Rabbit Toffee instead."

Wang Yi laughed: "Auntie, stop listening to the nonsense on TV, don't soak the white rabbit toffee in water, it won't work, and it uses condensed milk and cream, no matter how much you soak it, it won't get back to milk. identity!"

  Fengya was taken aback by what he said.

  Mr. Wang often speaks some incomprehensible things, but you can tell by looking at his expression and listening to his tone of voice, which makes sense.

   She didn't believe that TV would tell lies, but she believed in Wang Yi more, so she hesitated.

  Wang Yi said to her: "If you want to make milk powder for your child, then I will find a friend in foreign trade to send some milk powder by mail. Then you can buy it and don't need a ticket, as long as you have money, that's good!"

  Fengya was very happy: "Okay, okay, then I'll go back and prepare the money. Now that I'm busy in the spring, the money is a little bit out of hand."

After hearing her words, Wang Yi changed her mind and said, "Well, then, if you don't have the money, find out if you have any old things in your house, you can go to me to do an appraisal, and then I will charge your old house. object."

   "Then this is not speculation, free market trading?" Aunt Qing asked worriedly.

  Wang Yi said: "We're not speculating, we don't interfere with market behavior, we're just supplying the inside of our team."

  Fengya nodded: "Mr. Wang is right, so let's do it like this."

   She hesitated and then said, "Then Mr. Wang, why don't you just set up a supply and marketing agency. Don't you have a good relationship with Manager Xu of the supply and marketing company? You set up a supply and marketing agency so that you don't have to worry about buying and selling things on the island."

  Wang Yi said: "I'll think about this."

   is really good advice.

  If he started a supply and marketing cooperative, then he would not have to make excuses to sell some things like washbasin milk powder, milk candy, etc. He would either go through the account of the supply and marketing company, or it would be a channel for the foreign trade market.

   He thought about going back.

  Dazed daze towards the sunset with the stalk in his mouth.

  The setting sun shone over him and pulled out a long shadow, Wang Yi asked, "Are you looking at the shadow again?"

   was confused and laughed, and asked him, "Mr. Wang, what do you have for dinner?"

  Wang Yi picked up the leek in his hand and shook it: "Tonight, eat leek, sea rice, egg buns!"

   Big Dazed immediately climbed up: "Hey, this is delicious, fresh leeks, fresh dried shrimps, fresh eggs, this steamed bun is better than meat!"

   He put down the panel and began to make face.

  Wang Yi pondered for a while, and this guy is quite confused. It is true that fresh leeks need to be served with fresh dried shrimps and fresh eggs. He has both leeks and dried shrimps here, and he still lacks a few fresh eggs.

   The eggs here are a bit long.

   When he mentioned eggs, he thought of the wild duck he raised, so he went to look at its grass nest.

   still didn't lay eggs, which made him very upset.

  Wang Dongxi looked at him and asked him, "What are you doing?"

  Wang Yi said: "I made leeks, eggs, shrimp and rice buns tonight, and I still lack a few fresh eggs."

  Wang Dongxi's eyes lit up: "I have eggs at home..."

   "One egg and one bun." Wang Yi quickly agreed with him on the distribution method.

   The two foodies looked at each other and both understood what the other meant: "Deal!"

  The sun sets in the west, the smoke from the cooking on the island curls up, and the fishing boats sail on the sea.

   Several men stood on a motorized fishing boat.

   The leading man was tall and burly, with a leather jacket on the upper body and flared trousers on the lower body. He held a telescope and looked at the island.

   looks gloomy.

   A young man with a scar on his forehead asked, "Brother Biao, he's just a teacher in the village, so why bother? We'll just touch his neck at night and rub it on his neck."

   "This is not outside the detention center. If you don't move, you have to wipe your neck." Another black-faced man shook his head. "Brother Biao, your brother is only locked in the detention center. You don't need to kill people to solve the problem, right?"

"It's useless? Liu Heizi, you are so timid and so **** tolerant. Brother Biao and his eldest brother let that old and hated teacher go to the detention center. If you don't kill him, where will Brother Biao put his face?" The scarred youth sneered.

   The black-faced Liu Heizi was furious: "What kind of calf are you putting in your dagger? Who are you with?"

A man sitting at the stern said impatiently, "Don't quarrel, Brother Biao has not found a girl to vent his anger when he got out of the car this time, but I heard that his eldest brother Liu Dahu was sent to the detention center. This will be very angry, you two calm down."

  The tiger forced the knife to stand up like a cockfight and said: "I know that Brother Biao has a fire in his heart, so I want to kill the old hat to give Brother Biao a defeat."

   Liu Heizi immediately laughed at him: "You don't even look at your shriveled calf, you just don't have a brain..."

   "Who the **** are you scolding? Give me another word and try." Hu Pudao suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled out a dagger from his waist.

   Liu Heizi, not to be outdone, also put on a fist tiger.

   "Shut up." The leather jacket man Liu Dabiao put down his binoculars and turned to look at his two companions gloomily, "Let the two of you help me with the investigation, not to make trouble for me!"

"My brother is committing trivial things now. I'm not touching this teacher for his sake, but there is something valuable on this island that I need to get my hands on - but then again, this college student surnamed Wang is not honest. Li Dang cadre actually came back to provoke my Liu family, then he is considered to be an old birthday star who hanged himself and lived to the end."

   "The surnamed Wang will teach him a lesson first. I see that he has a dog that is about to give birth. I killed his dog and cut out all the puppies to hang at the door!"

  The tiger forced the knife to be refreshed: "Brother Biao, do you want to start tonight?"

  Liu Dabiao shook his head: "Wang Xianghong, the party secretary of the Wang family, is a veteran soldier and is very cautious. Their team now arranges militia patrols at night."

   "We have a heavy responsibility and can't mess around, come over first to get a feel for them, and when there is a big storm one day, take advantage of the mess!"

   Tiger Forced Knife suddenly slumped: "Hey, I don't know when there will be a heavy rain. There was a heavy rain just a few days ago."

  Liu Dabiao patted him on the shoulder: "Be patient, be patient when doing big things."

   Liu Heizi asked: "Brother Biao, I see poor birds don't **** on this island. What valuable things can there be on them?"

   Liu Dabiao squinted him coldly: "Are you curious?"

   Liu Heizi hurriedly laughed: "I, what am I curious about? It's just a casual question."

  Liu Dabiao touched the pistol on the belt and said, "Don't ask me if it's all right, just listen to my arrangement and work hard. Don't worry, you will be rich, rich and beautiful with me!"
