Chapter 86 Everything is ready, the night before departure
Now that everything that needed to be explained had been explained, Wang Yuanchao had to prepare for his trip.
When you go out, safety comes first. Isn’t it a waste of space if you don’t have a knife or a gun to protect yourself?
But no one expected that the director would arrange the mission so urgently?
This is the price of arbitrarily arranging other people's work. You should be more careful with what you say and do in the future.
When things get urgent, there's no time to worry about whether one is a gentleman or not.
He went to cut two pounds of meat, and when no one was paying attention, he took away a sharp boning knife and threw away 5 yuan.
It is pointed, long and sharp, and apart from being greasy, it has no other flaws. It is much better than the kitchen knife at home.
Then he went to the market and bought an axe to chop firewood at home, with very legitimate reasons.
Another batch of steamed buns, sesame cakes, canned food, pickles, cooked meat, and eggs were purchased to ensure that even if there were some unexpected events, they would not go hungry for a while.
As for clothes, the Logistics Department approved a complete set of cotton-padded jacket, trousers, hat and shoes for him. Director Jin kicked him a little hard, but he was reluctant to treat this glorious and beloved general badly.
After returning to the alley, I asked Qin Zhiwei to go home and get him a wooden stick. One cannot use a knife or axe in every situation. Sometimes a stick is enough.
I told my mother about this in the evening. She just told me to be careful on the road, and that was it.
His mother can no longer take care of him and is staring at his sister-in-law's belly every day.
How long have you been married? Even crops don't sprout that fast!
But Wang Yuanchao didn't dare to say anything. After dinner, he went back to the dormitory. As for his elusive second brother, he didn't bother to care about him. He even wanted to lend him his bicycle!
I turned to Qianmen Street and delivered the goods to Chen Xueru.
Wow, 9 big yellow croakers and 9 small yellow croakers, they blinded his eyes.
【10 liang of large yellow croaker, theoretically 312.5 grams】
Seeing Wang Yuanchao's surprised look, Chen Xueru was very satisfied. The five large yellow croakers were her savings that she had buried underground, the assets that her ex-husbands had not taken away.
The remaining few were the ones she earned recently, and then she exchanged them with great effort.
She has a natural distrust of paper money. A few thousand dollars is enough for her and she won't keep too much.
Wang Yuanchao didn't even weigh himself this time.
Chen Xueru not only gave Wang Yuanchao half an extra small yellow croaker, but also gave him a sea dragon hat.
Unfortunately, Wang Yuanchao didn't know the value of it.
Seeing that he was calm, Chen Xueru accepted it and said:
"I'm lending you this hat. The strong winds in the northeast can blow your head away. Once you put on this sea dragon fur hat, your whole head will be warm.
During the Republic of China, my father spent 200 dollars to get it. It is our Chen family's heirloom! "
With this point, Wang Yuanchao immediately understood the value of this hat.
At that time, a small yellow croaker would cost 30-40 dollars, and 200 dollars would be for five or six small yellow croakers!
hiss--
It's a bit too luxurious!
He couldn't help but pick up the hat and look at it again. He could still smell a hint of medicine. It was obviously carefully treated to prevent insects and mildew.
Although Chen Xueru lowered the price, she was indeed generous and treated Wang Yuanchao well.
"Sister Chen, it's because you have a brother-in-law and a nephew. Otherwise, I would definitely not be able to repay you and would have to pledge my love to you."
Chen Xueru chuckled:
"With your small body, you should eat two more bowls of rice. When you grow up to be as strong as your brother-in-law, come to my shop to help carry the heavy cloth!
Okay, okay, go and do your work, don't be an eyesore here."
She actually disliked him for not being tall and strong enough! He is still growing!
……
Wang Yuanchao was sleeping soundly when he heard the rustling sound of keys in the door. He was suddenly awakened. He already had an axe in his hand. Then the door opened and he saw the figure was a woman.
The axe disappeared in an instant and he closed his eyes again.
Lou Xiao'e closed the door and tiptoed to the bedside. After looking at Wang Yuanchao who was sleeping for a while, she heard him muttering:
"Ezi..."
She couldn't help but grin: Humph, you still have a conscience!
She leaned over and kissed her enemy, then sat down beside the bed. In this room, there was only trace of her, Lou Xiao'e, but she hadn't been there for a long time, so the room seemed a little strange.
She looked at Wang Yuanchao for a while, and then at the furnishings in Wang Yuanchao's room, to make sure there was no trace of Chen Xueru here. Yes, she came here often, and the key was still in her hand. She really thought too much yesterday.
Because Wang Yuanchao was given a cotton suit, she went to the department store yesterday and bought a pair of fur boots and a pair of leather gloves.
Then he didn't go back to the Siheyuan at all, but went straight back to Lou Mansion.
Early this morning, just as it was getting light, I called a car over.
She unconsciously took off her pants and cotton shoes and got into the warm bed.
Wang Yuanchao only felt a silky feeling wrapping around him, and then someone was so bold as to start fiddling with the gears!
……
Lou Xiao'e felt the long-lost fullness and fulfillment.
Wang Yuanchao was also helpless. Even an old man like him could take the initiative sometimes. How could he guard against him?
After the meeting, Lou Xiao'e went to work, thinking that there was no point in asking for leave.
Wang Yuanchao told her to ride the bicycle away or take it back to her second brother for use first. Who can blame him for being kind?
Wang Heping took Qian Song with him and rode for more than three hours to Qinjiatun.
Received a warm welcome from the brigade secretary.
They purchased a batch of mountain products and coarse grains such as dried mushrooms, dried sweet potatoes, cornmeal, and chestnuts, as well as some "wild fruits" such as apples and pears. These were all produced from the villagers' private plots in the mountains, and they were exchanged for money.
Of course, there are also some small prey, such as rabbits, pheasants, snakes, etc. The meat is good stuff, but the villagers need to exchange it for money.
The two men ordered a lot of goods. Wang Heping received them in Qinjiatun, while Qian Song and a villager drove a donkey cart to the city, where their younger brothers picked them up and towed them directly to their base.
Two donkeys pulled the cart, carrying about 1500 kilograms of goods.
This dragged on for several days, so of course Wang Yuanchao couldn't see his second brother at home.
Even so, only three batches of goods were purchased, totaling 822 yuan.
The villagers still have the goods, but they are out of cash.
They had to go back and hurry up to sell the goods in Pigeon Market.
How much can you earn after working so hard?
About 150. Coarse grains can’t be sold at a good price these days. It depends on quantity. 1500 kilograms is obviously not considered quantity.
The "wild fruits" are valuable, but they are easily damaged on the road and do not last long, so they have to be sold quickly, otherwise the price will not go up. They are also unwilling to collect more.
There is no problem with the sales of coarse grains, but they are slow to sell. If they want them to be sold quickly and at a lower price, they may wholesale some to other dealers.
Only dried meat has no worries about being sold at a high price and is easy to store. Although it only weighs a few dozen kilograms, it is the biggest source of money.
But the villagers are not stupid, they always combine it with coarse grains and "wild fruits". Who said that farmers are simple? They are very good at bundling sales!
Want more meat? Come back!
There are so many of them, and they only earn this little after working for a week. It would be better for them to sell stockings!
How easy is it to sell two or three pairs of stockings?
It's like you have to find customers for stockings and have a good eye, but it's definitely not as tiring as making this kind of money.
When they were inspected, they were terrified and had to produce fake letters of introduction.
The money earned is totally disproportionate to the risk.
The cargo is large and difficult to hide, so Qian Song would not shirk his responsibility unless he was Wang Heping's close confidant.
Wang Heping was not going to take the money, and Qian Song and the others would divide it. For him, the main thing was not to make the money, and he would already make money without paying extra money to thank them.
Wang Heping felt that he should really ask the third brother to come and see how difficult it is to survive in Pigeon City!
It's not worth it to earn that little money with such a big risk. It's better to resell tickets and buy goods in bulk from others.
But for reselling tickets, the more capital one has, the more money one can make. But their capital is so thin, oh, let's not talk about it.
Wang Heping swore that after completing this order, he would never go there again. He had kept his word, proved his work identity, and given enough face to Qin's younger sister and family.
Rourou was so overwhelmed by the four rounds of recommendations that she set a goal of 500 first orders, but it failed and she only managed to get over 400.
The only way to comfort myself is that I have stockpiled 15,000 yuan of inventory. I have food on hand and I am not worried.
But Rourou really hopes that my friends will let me run out of ammunition and food
