Chapter 375 Emergency

 After arriving at the market, Gu Siwei found that the fellow villagers who came out to sell things today had nothing serious to sell. They had either radishes or Chinese cabbage, or fish from the river, and the most common ones were homemade pickled vegetables.

As for vegetables, the only green products are green onions, garlic, etc., and the quantities are not much.

Seeing this scene, Gu Siwei missed the greenhouse very much, missing the life he would have had a few decades later when he could eat all kinds of vegetables in winter.

"Selling leeks!"

Gu Siwei was about to leave when he suddenly heard someone shouting.

As soon as he heard about the chives, Gu Siwei was immediately attracted to it. He walked over and took a look, and sure enough he found a bundle of chives in front of the middle-aged man.

The genuine leeks are still fresh, very fresh and tender. The leeks are very clean and have no soil at all. Not to mention the soil, there are no water beads at all. They are dry and smooth.

"How to sell chives?"

Gu Siwei immediately squatted down, reached for a piece of chive and tried it.

"Nine cents a pound, if you want them all, I'll give you three yuan for these leeks," the middle-aged man said.

When Gu Siwei heard that it was three yuan, Gu Siwei, who had been overwhelmed by the prices in Hong Kong and did not know the prices here, immediately said: "Give it all to me."

As he spoke, he took money out of his own pocket.

At this time, Sicui came over to stop her brother from being stupid: "Brother, what kind of food is more expensive than chicken? These days, pork only costs 80 cents a pound, and leeks cost 90 cents?"

The middle-aged man was about to clean up when he heard the little girl Sicui say this, so he explained: "Little girl, if there is a lot of meat in the market, you can buy it if you have a ticket. Where can I find fresh leeks at this time? Don't.

It is said to be nine cents per catty. If it were in the county town, my leek would cost at least one yuan per catty. If you look at these for three yuan, it would weigh at least three catties, seven or eight taels."

When Gu Siwei saw the middle-aged man stop his hand, he immediately raised his head and motioned for him to continue packing the chives for himself. At the same time, he said to the girl: "It's more expensive. I'll take it back later and make a chive dumpling for your sister-in-law. Let's talk about it later."

"It's not easy to grow leeks now. It might have been planted near a hot spring on the mountain."

Hearing what Gu Siwei said, the middle-aged man who was about to pick up the leeks for Gu Siwei couldn't help being startled, and said to Gu Siwei in embarrassment: "This young man really knows how to joke!"

Gu Siwei looked at the middle-aged man and knew that he might have revealed the middle-aged man's secret.

How many people in the countryside know how to grow out-of-season vegetables at this time? Although greenhouses seemed to have been around in the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people could not pay such a high price for a mouthful of vegetables in winter. Therefore,

At least the mountain people here don't know that out-of-season vegetables can be grown near hot springs.

Moreover, most of these hot springs are in old forests. It is not easy to grow things here. Otherwise, why would Gu Siwei think that nine cents per catty is cheap?

Seeing Gu Siwei smiled and said nothing. When the middle-aged man accepted the money, he only accepted Gu Siwei two and a half yuan, less than two cents from Gu Siwei. This was a thank you for Gu Siwei not continuing to spread his little secret.

After taking the chives, Gu Siwei returned to Hu Yanqiu's side and showed off to his wife.

Hu Yanqiu knew her husband's character, and the family didn't lack much money anyway, so he didn't say anything about Gu Siwei spending three yuan to buy leeks.

When they arrived on the road, Hu Yanqiu got off the sleigh and went to the factory with Sicui and Hu Yanping, while Gu Siwei drove the sleigh to the empty yard that Xu Congwen had introduced before.

After walking for about five or six minutes, they found a deserted place. Gu Siwei took the big green mule and the sled into the space, turned around and trotted after his wife.

If you want to catch up with your wife, it's best to take a shortcut at this time.

Gu Siwei turned into the alley, preparing to intercept his wife from the front.

Unexpectedly, as he was walking, he discovered that there were actually several army vehicles parked in an open space in front of him. If they were ordinary army vehicles, Gu Siwei would only look at them twice and then walk away. He had nothing to do and entered the army.

What to do? Besides, even if Gu Siwei wants to interfere, his troops will be happy.

Just when Gu Siwei was about to take a detour, a voice stopped him.

"Gu Siwei!"

As soon as Gu Siwei heard this, he knew it was his cheap apprentice, Qiao Qisheng, Qiao Yitong's father.

Stopping, Gu Siwei asked Qiao Qisheng, who was walking over, "Why are you here?"

Coming with Qiao Qisheng, there was also a soldier about forty years old. He was wearing a green military uniform and walked smoothly. At first glance, he knew he was a big officer.

"I still want to ask you, why are you here? Oh, by the way, I forgot to ask you something. Is there any way for you to enter the mountain now?"

When Qiao Qisheng saw Gu Siwei, he opened his mouth and said.

Gu Siwei said: "Isn't it easy to go into the mountains? I just came back from the mountains not long ago. Why are you asking this question?"

What Gu Siwei told others here was that he was going into the mountains to dig for goods. He couldn't change his words when facing Qiao Qisheng. Besides, Qiao Yi and this boy are getting along well with Zhao Fangming now. If they meet each other,

, if what you say is inconsistent when you mention it, it’s easy to get it wrong.

Snapped!

Qiao Qisheng patted his thigh: "How could I forget you?"

Gu Siwei was a little confused. Just when he was about to ask, he saw Qiao Qisheng smiling at the officer next to him and saying, "Old Di, let me introduce you. This is my son Yitong's master. His surname is Gu and his given name is Siwei. This is

He is an old hunter, and he provides a lot of game in the canteen of the factory over there. If you are looking for someone to go into the mountains at this time, he can really be considered the number one person..."

Hearing Qiao Qisheng's fierce compliment to him, Gu Siwei knew that this matter might be a bit troublesome.

Sure enough, when he heard Qiao Qisheng introduce Gu Siwei like this, the middle-aged officer suddenly held Gu Siwei's hand: "That's great!"

Not only did he hold it, he also shook it vigorously.

In an instant, Gu Siwei felt the power in the hands of this middle-aged officer.

"what happened?"

Gu Siwei looked at Qiao Qisheng with a puzzled expression and asked.

Just as Qiao Qisheng was about to speak, the middle-aged officer said anxiously: "We are now preparing to find someone who can enter the mountain and deliver some supplies to the radar station in the mountain."

Gu Siwei from the radar station knew this, so he asked Qiao Qisheng: "That friend of yours...".

"Yes, do you remember him? Li Zhengda, yes, he is in the radar station now. Besides him, there are more than a hundred officers and soldiers. They have been trapped in the mountains for almost half a month, so there is an urgent need for someone to bring supplies.

Send it up."

When Qiao Qisheng heard that Gu Siwei thought of Li Zhengda, he immediately talked about the situation of the radar station.

"Have you ever considered this situation?"

Gu Siwei was a little confused and thought to himself: When you built a radar station in the mountains, didn't you consider that there would be a heavy snowfall and the mountains would be closed to transport supplies? I don't believe it!

The middle-aged officer said: "We thought about it, but our ideas didn't change quickly. We really didn't expect that this year's weather would be so abnormal. The snow in the mountains would last for half a month. Moreover, the mountain roads we originally drove have been blocked due to heavy snow these days.

It’s sealed, so the supplies that could have gone up can’t go up.”

A simple explanation was almost equivalent to no explanation for Gu Siwei.

It was impossible for the middle-aged officer to tell Gu Siwei that we were rushing to build radar stations, so these issues were not considered in a big way.

Don't talk about them. Qiao Qisheng, who has lived here for so many years, didn't know that the snow in the mountains would be so heavy this year. He didn't expect it. How can you make people think about it? Only gods can think of it.

"Can you go into the mountain?" Qiao Qisheng asked after telling him the location of the radar station.

When Gu Siwei heard that so many soldiers were trapped, he was naturally happy. In Gu Siwei's heart, no matter decades later or now, these soldiers are the most lovable people.

But it's not easy for him to just leave. His wife is pregnant, so he just lets go and runs into the mountains. This is a bit outrageous.

Seeing Gu Siwei's expression of embarrassment, Qiao Qisheng asked, "Can you go up? If it's too dangerous, please say something."

"You can go up there, and there's no problem in bringing a few things with you. Don't say too much, I can still carry two to three hundred kilograms of stuff," Gu Siwei said confidently.

Qiao Qisheng was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's really great."

The middle-aged officer next to him also showed a surprised expression. He really didn't expect that the young man in front of him didn't hesitate at all and just said that he could go up.

"That……".

"But I can't leave now," Gu Siwei said.

After hearing this, Qiao Qisheng said directly: "What time is it now?!".

"My wife is pregnant," Gu Siwei said.

Qiao Qisheng was stunned after hearing this, and without thinking much, he opened his mouth and asked: "Which daughter-in-law are you?"

"..."

Gu Siwei was speechless for a while, and replied angrily: "You will be shot if you marry two wives!"

Qiao Qisheng said: "That's not what I meant. You mean that girl Yan Qiu is pregnant?"

Gu Siwei said: "Yes, but she is not sure and insists on coming to the hospital for a check-up."

"It's not that...that's a good thing," Qiao Qisheng said happily, "Congratulations then!"

"Same joy, same joy!" Gu Siwei replied with a smile.

The middle-aged officer was a little anxious: "Let's get down to business!"

"Oh, if you are really sure that you can enter the mountains, you have to help, because the soldiers there really don't have much supplies, and they may have stopped by now. They don't have much experience in living in the mountains. They probably have to find something in the mountains.

It will be very difficult to eat, we are in urgent need of someone now, even if it is just to deliver dozens of kilograms of compressed biscuits, it will be good," Qiao Qisheng said.

"Is it so serious?" Gu Siwei asked.

"Maybe the situation is more serious than this," Qiao Qisheng said.

None of these soldiers, including Li Zhengda, had experience in living in the winter mountains and forests. Moreover, some time ago, they were transporting some materials for building the website, and there were not many supplies at all. At this time, everyone was rushing to work and make progress.

I also like to work hard, work hard, and create miracles. I never thought that there would be such a heavy snowfall all of a sudden, and for so many days at once.

"In this case, you transport the things to our village, no, to the Erdaoguaipiao side, which is closer. I will talk to my wife here, and then go home to prepare. We will meet there. It will be shipped.

The quality of the things should be controlled at three hundred...fifty kilograms, three hundred and fifty kilograms, I will deliver it to you," Gu Siwei said.

"Can you do it? How can you carry three hundred and fifty kilograms of stuff? Horses and mules are not allowed over there..." Qiao Qisheng said.
