Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 53 Part-time Second-rate Dealer
Lu Changhua left the oil factory, took a bite at a nearby snack bar, filled up his motorcycle with oil, and rushed back without stopping.

It was poetic and picturesque when I came, and I felt like I was returning home when I went back.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Changhua rushed back to the three-point game.

This year's family farm was experimental in nature and suffered floods. Many employees were in debt.

But there is one thing, the food is still in their own hands.

In previous years, the grains from separate fields would be kept in the drying field, and the task grains would be handed over uniformly and sold to the outside world.

This year's grain was dried in the drying field and then shipped back to each household.

There are mountains of sacks piled in the yards of every household.

Master Lin's family also joined the family farm. He and others jointly contracted fifty acres of land, including ten acres of wheat and fifteen acres of soybeans.

Needless to say, wheat suffered a huge loss. Not only did it not earn a penny, it also suffered a lot.

The exact amount of the loss is not yet known. We will not know until the farm’s unified final accounts are finalized.

As for the soybeans, a lot of them were taken back, but he was worried that if the farm took the beans back after a while, he would have nothing left.

During this time, many masters in the maintenance team had their own concerns.

Who doesn’t worry about losses?

After work, as soon as Master Lin entered the house, the sound of Lu Changhua's motorcycle sounded at the door of his house.

"Is Master Lin at home?"

"Hey, it's Xiao Lu, come in, he just came back."

Sister-in-law Lin saw Lu Changhua in the courtyard and let him into the house.

"Hey, sister-in-law, I've been beating a lot of beans this year."

"Hey, it's such a shame. I get angry whenever I mention this."

Sister-in-law Lin pouted and looked unhappy.

Stepping into the living room in the dark, Master Lin was sitting at the table preparing to eat.

"Hey, Xiao Lu, what's the matter? Have you eaten? Let's eat some together."

"You're welcome."

Lu Changhua shook his hand and sat directly on the stool opposite the table.

"Master Lin, will your beans be sold this year?"

"Why don't you sell it? Sell it."

When Master Lin heard that it was about selling beans, he immediately became energetic.

"What price do you want to sell it for?"

Lu Changhua took out cigarettes and handed him one.

Master Lin took it, turned the cigarette butt over, knocked it gently against the table, then held it in his mouth, struck a match and lit it.

He took a deep breath, blew out a smoke ring, and said, "I don't understand the market either."

"I just came back from Beining. I asked about it at the grain depot. It's 1 yuan, excluding shipping and other miscellaneous items. It's 9 cents. Do you want to sell it?"

"Sell it, why don't you sell it, sell it for any amount of money!"

Master Lin suddenly became excited.

"If we don't sell it, we still don't know who the beans belong to."

"Haha, how many do you have, Master Lin?"

"There must be tens of thousands of kilograms in my yard, and there are still some left in the drying yard."

"Otherwise, you just need to bring Douzi to my house and I'll get [-] cents from you. How about that?"

Lu Changhua looked at Master Lin and said.

In fact, he wanted to sell his own beans, and he didn't want to be nosy.

He went to the oil factory and felt that there was an opportunity to make money. Even if he made ten cents per pound, he could also help the employees sell the grain they had accumulated in their hands to cash in. It was the best of both worlds.

When he came back from the oil factory, he specially copied down the purchase price.

The purchase price of first-class products is 1.1 yuan, that of second-class products is 1 yuan, and that of third-class products is 0.9 yuan.

The beans from the farm are second-rate at worst.

For this reason, Lu Changhua felt that if he could sell more beans while he was selling them and make a profit in the price difference, he would at least be able to earn back the freight.

This is not a loss-making business.

"Cash money?"

"Come back and give you the money."

Master Lin pondered for a while and then said: "Okay."

"When will it be delivered?"

"I'll bring it to you tonight."

The two made an agreement, and Lu Changhua got up and left.

"Hey, wait a minute, do you want more?"

"You still have?"

"No, I still have a few good friends. If I want to sell it, we'll sell it together."

"Master Lin, this matter cannot be made public. If the company finds out and refuses to sell it, it will be troublesome."

After pondering for a while, he continued: "You can't say that you sold the beans to me, and I won't admit it."

"Well, okay."

Lu Changhua went to the drying field, said hello to Director Zhang, and asked Lao Lu to bring his beans back.

More than 200 sacks were pulled in four carts in a row.

The beans were piled next to the cornhouse and covered with tarpaulin.

Lu Changhua was busy pouring beans into his house, while Master Lin and the other four households also found various excuses to pour beans.

Those who use horse-drawn carts and those who use rubber-tyred carts each show their special skills.

Soon, the sacks piled up by the Lu family were like a city wall.

The quantity was confirmed, and Lu Changhua also checked the quality, and neither party had any objections.

Originally, Lu Changhua wanted to hire a car team to transport the beans, but now he dared not take the risk.

Early the next morning, he ate something and rode his motorcycle west.

No one knew where he went.

He did not go to the field department or Beining, but went to the Erlongshan Farm next door.

The motorcycle is fast, and we arrived at Erlong Mountain at [-] am.

They have a fleet of cars.

Lu Changhua checked the accounts last night and found that in addition to his own 22 tons of beans, there were 120 tons of soybeans sent by others.

According to the current load capacity of the car, the main car can pull five tons, and with the addition of a large box board, it can also pull six tons. If a trailer is added, it can also pull six tons.In other words, a car can pull twelve tons.

If it was transported all at once, twelve cars would be needed, and they would have to carry trailers.

When we arrived at the Erlongshan Automobile Team, the captain was of course happy when he heard that he wanted to use the car.But when I heard that twelve vehicles were needed and all had to be equipped with hooks, it was difficult.

Why?There are not enough cars.

"Comrade Lu, can you make two more trips? It's the same!"

"It's best to take them away at once to avoid getting into trouble."

Everyone is a farm, who doesn’t know who is who?They are also doing family farming.

“We don’t have that many cars if it’s a one-time thing.”

"How many do you have?" "We only have eight."

"Okay, let's make two trips."

Knowing the destination, the two agreed on the price, and the eight cars began inspection and maintenance.

Lu Changhua asked them to arrive tonight.

Also give the detailed address clearly.

"Changshui Farm three-point court? We have been there before and we know the way."

"It's good to know."

Lu Changhua paid part of the deposit and rushed back.

After returning home and having dinner, he informed these people to come and help load the truck in the evening.

Of course, relying on just a few of them couldn't do it. They also found some reliable people and came to Lu's house around ten o'clock in the evening to wait.

The children who came to Lu's house to watch TV tonight were called back early by their parents.

Lao Lu and Mother Lu were at home and prepared tea and cigarettes.

Lu Changhua asked his parents to rest first.

Northeasterners can fall asleep just by falling on the kang.

The old couple couldn't rest assured and kept busy.

More than 20 people crowded into the house one after another.

It was impossible for Hu Dagui to be absent. He also chatted and slapped with these people.

They also took the opportunity to indulge their addiction to color TV.

After twelve o'clock, some people couldn't stand it any longer and took a nap against the wall of fire.

At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, a car roared at the east end of Lu's house.

Lu Changhua went out to greet him with a flashlight.

Eight cars with trailers lined up and stopped on the side of the road.

"Turn around, with the front of the car facing outward. It'll be easier in a while."

The driver turned the car around.

"Let's go, let's load the car."

Everyone walked out with cigarettes in their mouths.

At this time, Lao Lu and Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief.

The car finally arrived.

The two of them quickly prepared the meal.

28 people, loading two vehicles at the same time.

Installed in 10 minutes.

It took nearly three hours to load eight vehicles.

Everyone was covered in sweat.

The driver had a meal first, and as soon as the car was loaded, he got in and set off. The lights illuminated each other in the darkness, forming a long line of lights connected end to end.

Cars roared past outside the family area, then fell silent again.

Lu Changhua covered himself tightly, followed the car on his motorcycle, and sped away.

Then, under the leadership of Hu Dagui, everyone who loaded the truck went into the house to eat. It was 04:30 in the morning, and they went home to rest.

Lu Changhua followed the last car, neither fast nor slow.

The car bypassed the team site and drove directly from the tractor road outside the field to the gravel road leading to the fork in the road.

Once on the right road, the speed of the car was much faster.

It is still a bit difficult for a car to pull a heavy cargo of twelve tons.

The car spewed black smoke and panted on the gravel road.

But no matter how slow it is, there is still time. Finally, we came to the fork in the road and turned onto the road to Beining.

There was a glimmer of light in the east, and the car was driving on the road. The heavy truck was driving smoothly, at a speed of fifty or sixty miles an hour.

By the time we arrived at Shuguang Town, it was already bright.

Master Wu was very surprised by Lu Changhua's arrival.

He didn't expect that Xiao Lu from this farm would be so bold and bring in so many soybeans at once.

The grade was checked, weighed and invoiced.

It weighs 96 tons after removing the fur, and 95.5 tons after removing water and impurities.

The grade is first grade.

The drivers who unloaded their trucks had breakfast and hurried back.

There were only four cars returning to the three-point field this time, and the other cars went directly back to Erlong Mountain.

Lu Changhua no longer followed the car back, but waited at the oil factory.

At noon, he invited Master Wu to come out for dinner.

"When your next batch of beans comes, let's go to the finance room to transfer money."

Old Wu said cheerfully.

"Master Wu, thank you for taking care of me this time, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth."

"Hey, this is my job too."

Master Wu said haha.

"I understand, come and have another drink."

At around eight o'clock in the evening, four cars arrived at the grease factory, pulling loads of beans.

Now is the peak season for acquisitions, and there are people on duty at night.

Lao Wu came to the scene in person and greeted the person doing the miscellaneous and water testing. This was a relative of his.

The weight of these four trucks is 46 tons for removing fur and 45.5 tons for removing impurities and water.

The two receipts add up to 141 tons.

Lu Changhua settled the freight with the driver, and he left overnight.

That night, he stayed at the Grease Factory Guest House.

Lying on the bed, Lu Changhua did the math. This time he collected 120 tons of beans, with a gross profit of 4.8.

I sold 22 tons for 4.84.

The gross income is 9.64, excluding the freight of 1, the income is 8.64.

Early the next morning, he took the receipt to the finance office of the grease factory.

The cashier directly issued a cash check and asked Lu Changhua to pay it himself.

This is a lot of money, 310200 yuan.

After depositing the money into the bankbook, Lu Changhua met Master Wu and took out an envelope.

"Master Wu, thank you for taking care of me."

Master Wu grinned and put it in his arms.

"Your soybeans are of good quality. If you have any more, I'll send them directly to you."

　I wish book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
