Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 133 Pomegranate
The lunch in the commune is Zhenzi porridge.

This name has the same meaning as "A Gathering of Heroes". In fact, it is the food cooked after crushing corn, that is, corn paste.

It tastes a bit spicy to the mouth, but the captain's mother-in-law's craftsmanship is good. Put a little cabbage in the corn paste and add a little coarse salt. It tastes very good.

after eating.

Li Weidong asked Niu Meng to watch the comrades in the commune unload steel, while he followed the captain's guidance and came to the village.

In this era, there was no private contract to plant fruit trees on hills, and members of the commune chose to plant fruit trees in front of or behind their houses.

When the fruit is ripe, it will be picked and sold in a nearby market town while it is dark.

The money in exchange is the family's salt money and the children's tuition.

Although this behavior seems a bit out of line.

However, in remote villages, members are all of the same clan, and no one will report.

Even the cadres of the commune and the town will turn a blind eye.

Li Weidong had inquired with the captain early in the morning, and he knew whose pomegranate tree grew the best and produced the sweetest fruit.

Randomly looking for children to play in the village inquired and found the location.

Behind the low adobe house, two pomegranate trees were planted, covered with red pomegranates.

The owner of the pomegranate tree was a somewhat hunchbacked old man. He took the cigarette handed over by Li Weidong, sniffed it twice in front of his nose, and pinned it to his ear.

"Boy, do you want to buy a pomegranate?"

"Yes, but you only have two trees, I want more."

"Cough, cough, that's too much, we have as many as you want."

The old man didn't wait for Li Weidong to speak, so he shouted into the yard: "God left, go and call your second and third masters, someone wants to buy pomegranates."

The pomegranate tastes good, and it doesn't make you hungry at all, so it's great if you can sell it for money.

Besides, it takes tens of miles to go to the nearby towns to sell.

After a while, all the villagers with fruit trees in the village ran over.

Li Weidong received more than 500 catties of pomegranates at the price of five cents per catty.

Good guy, it took three big sacks to fill it up, and I couldn't carry it at all.

In the end, I borrowed a wheelbarrow from the villagers to take the pomegranates back.

It just so happened that the steel on the truck had also been unloaded.

Li Weidong called Niu Meng, and the master and apprentice worked together to stuff three sacks into the cab.

If the pomegranates were placed on the cart, they would probably have to squeeze the juice to drink when they go back.

After talking to the captain of the commune, the master and apprentice set foot on the way back.

After the truck started, Niu Mengcai took out a basket of eggs as if offering a treasure, and said, "Master, this was given to me by the captain of the team. I can't push it no matter how hard I try."

Li Weidong glanced sideways and said: "Then put it away, you will definitely encounter this kind of situation when you drive your own sports car in the future.

Remember, it’s okay to collect things, but don’t collect things that shouldn’t be collected. Especially when you go to the countryside, it’s not easy for farmers brothers. We can’t take advantage of people for nothing, you know? "

"Don't worry, master, I definitely understand these principles."

"Wait, wait for you to drive, you have almost learned this skill, the rest is to practice more, and I will take you for a few long distances later, you can take the driver's license test, and you will be able to become a teacher in the future."

Hearing this, Niu Meng, who should have been excited, suddenly hesitated.

If she was a teacher, she wouldn't be able to stay with Li Weidong like she is now.

She didn't want to leave Li Weidong.

Seeing that Niu Meng didn't speak suddenly, Li Weidong thought she was a little timid about taking the driver's license test, so he didn't think much about it.

The teacher and the apprentice did not speak much along the way.

The truck had just driven into the city when a fat figure stood by the side of the road and waved violently at Li Weidong.

Except for Fatty Yu, there was no one else.

Before leaving the car this morning, Li Weidong entrusted someone to send a message to Fatty Yu, asking him to wait here for him.

Those pomegranates brought back are not easy to pull back to the rolling mill.

There are so many people there, who knows if they will have a wrong heart?

After parking the truck, Li Weidong walked aside to talk with Fatty Yu, while Pengzi and Luanzi were in charge of unloading.

"Brother-in-law, how much did you get?"

"Five hundred catties are all pomegranates."

"Pomegranate? This is a good thing. It is very popular in the market. It can sell for 1 cents a catty!"

Fatty Yu climbed into the truck with an agility that didn't match his size, opened his pockets, and his eyes widened instantly: "They're all this big, and the products are much better than those offered at the food station. You don't need fruit tickets, at least It can be sold for 2 cents a catty."

The purchase price is 5 cents, and the selling price is 2 cents. The five hundred catties of pomegranates can earn 75 yuan once they change hands.

Then take away 60% of Yu Fatty's, and you can still save [-] yuan.

This business can be done!
Li Weidong warned: "You look at the order to sell, don't set the price too high, and sell it scattered."

"Okay, leave it to me, you can rest assured!"

"Well, I won't gossip. On Friday night, call my uncle and come to my house for dinner. I have already told my father-in-law and the others."

Fatty Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is this a good product?"

Li Weidong smiled and said, "I brought a pig back from the Nanshi Commune, and the leader rewarded me with the pig's large intestines. In addition, I'll add some cured meat, which is enough for our whole family to eat."

"Okay, I'll tell the old man later, if he knows that he has a large intestine, he will be very happy!"

The two whispered there for a while, and after finalizing the matter, they broke up.

Although the shelf life of pomegranate is long, the taste of this thing is too fragrant, so it is not easy to hide. If someone notices it, it will be troublesome, so you have to sell it quickly.

After returning to the rolling mill, Li Weidong handed the truck to Niu Meng and asked her to wash off the mud on the body.

I took the list and came to the team lounge to ask Niu Yong to hand in the task.

I didn't want to see Factory Manager Yang and Niu Yong sitting inside swallowing clouds as soon as they entered the door.

Seeing Li Weidong coming in, the eyes of both of them lit up. After looking at each other, it seemed that some kind of agreement had been reached.

Niu Yong waved to Li Weidong and said, "Weidong, you came just in time. I'm discussing with the factory manager who we should send to Jiangliao Province!"

Li Weidong was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "Jiangliao? Why did you run so far suddenly? Aren't we all on missions around the capital?"

Factory Manager Yang took over the conversation with a smile, and said: "Let me tell you about this, the machinery factory over there in Jichun has developed a new type of steel rolling machine, which was approved after a long time of application with the leader.

The machinery factory is not responsible for delivery, so we need to send someone there to pull the machine back. "

Li Weidong smiled wryly, "But, isn't this too far away?"

"Who says it's not? So we need to find a driver who is stable and good at business. Both the factory manager and I are interested in you. What do you think?" Niu Yong said.

What could Li Weidong think?It's okay to go to the south, but he really doesn't want to go to the north.

Now that it's the twelfth lunar month of winter, running north is completely a crime.

But the leader has spoken, and he has no room to refuse.

The consequences of disobedience can be severe.

I saw Li Weidong raised his head and said with a straight chest: "Everything is obeyed!"

Factory Manager Yang made the decision: "Okay! Then you go home now and prepare. When you leave tomorrow, I will arrange an assistant for you. The two of you will take turns driving. After all, the journey is far away."

Li Weidong immediately refused when he heard the words: "There is no need for the factory manager, I can take Niu Meng with me. Her skills are already very good now. The only thing that is lacking is her experience. It just happens to take her for a long-distance run."

After hearing this, Factory Manager Yang looked at Niu Yong, saw him nodding, and agreed to Li Weidong's request.

"Okay, then you should pay attention to yourself."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

After coming out of the team lounge, Li Weidong sighed.

Jichun, Jiangliao Province, isn't Zhou Rong from there?

It just so happened that by sending her back, she could also earn travel expenses.

After making up his mind, Li Weidong ran to the parking lot, found Niu Meng who was washing the car, and told her about going to Jichun.

Niu Meng was stunned for a moment after listening, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

This trip to Jichun, let alone a few days, can't I just get along well with the master?
Seeing that the girl kept giggling after hearing this, and even showed two small canine teeth, Li Weidong was somewhat confused.

To others, this is hard work.

There is too little oil and water in the north, how can it compare with the south.

A woman's mind is really hard to figure out.

Unable to understand what Niu Meng was thinking, Li Weidong simply rolled up his sleeves to help wash the car together.

The master and apprentice worked together and washed the car clean in a short while.
