Chapter 246 You Want to Get In Through My Back Door
Lu Yao came to the county town for two reasons.
One was the preparation for opening a winery, and the other was the construction of greenhouses; both were aimed at first increasing the productivity of Jiapigou.
Furthermore, there's one more thing, which we'll have to wait for an opportunity to address.
In this day and age, it's impossible for you to contract out production to an individual.
It's a sin to even have this thought.
But there is one opportunity: hunting.
People are too poor now and can't get enough to eat, so hunting in the mountains can be a way for them to supplement their food supply.
No one checks how many prey you have.
The production team had the right to dispose of the game itself.
Ordinary hunters hunt only to fill their stomachs, and they don't make much money selling animal hides and bones.
The supply and marketing cooperatives didn't offer high prices, and going to the black market was illegal.
But this is the only thing that can be used as personal income.
Next spring, we can also study the income from fishing.
The first priority is to fight for this right.
This time, we killed so many Japanese soldiers in the mountains, which has already alerted the military region above. We can take this opportunity to ask our superiors for a favor.
I estimate that it should be possible to do so.
Everything Lu Yao did was to become rich ahead of time so that his family could live a good life; this was his goal in this rebirth.
Riding his sidecar motorcycle, Lu Yao arrived at the county liquor factory.
Yuan Shumei's father, Yuan Hai, was the head of the timber factory.
He and Yang Shouye are related by marriage.
However, Yang Shouye also said that this in-law looked down on him and only visited when there was something important to discuss.
Therefore, if Lu Yao were to ask him to plead with Yuan Hai, there wouldn't be much hope.
Lu Yao wanted to try it himself, so he started with Yuan Shumei.
We arrived at the entrance of the liquor factory.
The auntie in the mailroom dialed the number to the office.
Not long after, Yuan Shumei, dressed in work clothes and wearing arm sleeves, came out.
As Uncle Benshan once said, workers are the most beautiful people.
Seeing the sweat on her forehead, this beautiful young woman, as lovely as a water lily, looked so youthful and energetic in the morning sun.
The cadres at this time are different from those in the later 21st century.
It's common for factory directors to take the lead in production and go down to the workshop.
Unlike the later leaders, who were all fat and bloated.
He's fine with sweating it out on the basketball court or treadmill, but he thinks it's shameful to do any chores.
This is an era that values labor.
Yuan Shumei smiled as soon as she saw it was Lu Yao looking for her. She quickly took off her gloves and sleeves, and reached out to shake his hand. A city girl, she was poised and confident.
"It's you, Comrade Lu. Did you need something?"
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, didn't you say I was welcome to visit the winery anytime? I can't wait, but isn't it a bit untimely to come now? You seem quite busy."
"It's alright, I can show you around anytime. It's just..."
Yuan Shumei looked behind her:
"Your nurse girlfriend didn't come, did she? She was terrifying."
Lu Yao laughed and said, "She's not my girlfriend, but I'm more afraid of her than you are."
They both laughed as they talked.
I felt a little embarrassed about the misunderstanding between me and Ii Yuka.
"Let's go in and take a look."
With an insider leading the way, the security guards didn't stop them.
Lu Yao then rode his sidecar motorcycle inside.
Yuan Shumei sat in the sidecar, watching Lu Yao ride his motorcycle, her eyes widening in disbelief.
This young man is so handsome!
Without realizing it, I started comparing him to my boyfriend.
Although he was better looking than Xiao Zhao, ... Xiao Zhao was a regular soldier, while he was just a member of the militia; there was still a difference.
In front of the official police, not to mention the militiamen of the commune below, even the head of the security department in the factory was inferior.
Lu Yao rode his bike directly to the entrance of the workshop where the large chimney was emitting smoke.
Is this the place?
He looked down at Yuan Shumei.
The two women's eyes met, and Yuan Shumei was so startled that she quickly looked away.
"Huh? Ah! Yes, that's right!"
She was a little flustered; she had been lost in thought.
He brought Lu Yao down and entered the winery workshop.
At this time, the distillery was all operated manually.
However, the wine is very fragrant and is made entirely from pure grains.
Although it smelled good, the workshop was damp and dirty, with steam rising from the fermented grains.
As Yuan Shumei led Lu Yao along, she explained the process of making baijiu to him.
In fact, Lu Yao didn't care about the process.
He came here to get close to Yuan Shumei and take advantage of his relationship with her.
"Shumei, if our commune were to open a winery, could your large winery provide some technical support?"
"That's amazing!"
Upon hearing that Lu Yao needed her help, a glint of excitement flashed in Yuan Shumei's already clear and bright eyes:
"Let alone the factory, I can help you personally as well."
"Then, can you provide supplies?"
"Supplies..."
At that time, everything was state-owned. The winery was not a private enterprise. Even a single bottle of wine or a shovelful of lees had to be accounted for when it left the factory gate.
Yuan Shumei shook her head helplessly:
"That's not up to me to decide."
Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's alright, we can talk about that later. I came to see you about something else."
"What is it?"
Yuan Shumei had just asked a question, and before Lu Yao could answer, a young man wearing a red armband suddenly emerged from the steam:
"Shumei, who's this? Your boyfriend? I heard he's a policeman?"
This man was wearing a green military uniform, was thin, and spoke with a rather arrogant and domineering manner.
Yuan Shumei quickly smiled and said, "No, no, this is my friend from Shuiling Commune. He wants to learn winemaking techniques."
The man looked Lu Yao up and down: "What's the use of you learning this?"
Seeing his provocative attitude, Lu Yao remained silent.
Take a look at Yuan Shumei.
Yuan Shumei quickly introduced:
"This is Tian Siwei, the vice chairman of our winery's revolutionary committee."
"Vice President? Young and promising!"
Lu Yao was quite arrogant towards him.
Tian Siwei seemed completely unconcerned: "It's nothing. I don't really care about this position. I want to join the public security system, and I'm working on it."
Then look back at Yuan Shumei:
"It's good that he's not your boyfriend. Are you free tonight? How about I take you to a movie?"
Yuan Shumei quickly smiled and said, "No, no, I really don't have time."
Tian Siwei snorted in dissatisfaction: "Aren't you giving me face?"
Yuan Shumei glanced at Lu Yao with some embarrassment, then said to Tian Siwei:
"I'll explain it to you properly when I have time; I have other things to do right now."
Tian Siwei glanced at Lu Yao:
"Okay, you decide for yourself. I'll wait for your reply."
After saying that, he walked away.
Yuan Shumei looked a little embarrassed:
"He always tries to ask me out, even though I've told him I have a boyfriend. His dad is our factory manager, so I can't really yell at him."
Lu Yao smiled slightly: "That's normal. A beautiful woman is sought after by gentlemen. What man wouldn't like a beautiful woman? It would be abnormal if no one pursued you!"
Yuan Shumei was also amused by Lu Yao's bold praise.
I always felt that Lu Yao was different from others.
"You said you had something to do earlier, what is it?"
Lu Yao then took out a letter of introduction from Yang Shouye:
"Actually, I wanted to ask your father to lend me some timber."
"buy on credit?"
Yuan Shumei looked at Lu Yao with a puzzled expression.
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, I want to build a greenhouse in the village for planting, but I don't have enough funds right now. I thought of your connections. If your father can give us timber on credit, we can start construction after the New Year."
Yuan Shumei smiled at Lu Yao: "You want to use my connections?"
These words made Lu Yao's muscles twitch.
I took a look at her curvaceous figure.
They immediately realized what was happening.
He smiled and nodded: "I really want to get in through your connections. Can you help me?"
