Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 119 Lost and found

The village party secretary Li Qiming held a village meeting, and the first thing he did was to praise Yao Weijun in public.

Encountering a robbery in the middle of the night, he relied on his wit and calmness to finally subdue the two of them, providing the police station with direct and effective evidence for handling the case. Therefore, Captain Wang of the police station personally sent him back to the village.

According to his father Yao Xiangui, he also mentioned something about mobilizing the whole village to help process canned food.

After Li Qiming explained the conditions offered by Yao Weijun, most of the villagers expressed their willingness to participate on the spot and went to Zhao Shuliang to sign up. Currently, they are just waiting for an order from Yao Weijun before the work can officially start.

"Tomorrow, after the bottles from the glass factory arrive, I will arrange this myself."

Yao Weijun smiled happily after listening to what his father said.

"Lao Wu, you have improved the speed of canning processing like this, but it will definitely cause a lot of waste. Let the villagers take the red dates and canned bottles home. Aren't you afraid that they will be confused?!"

Yao Xiangui knew that he could not be the boss of Lao Wu, so he had to frown and remind him.

"It's okay, Dad, even if they have this idea, they can't get our stuff."

Yao Weijun smiled and explained:
"Because no matter how much material I give them, no matter how well it is done, when I take it back in the end, there must be so much. Even if the bottle is broken, the glass slag must be put back in bags for me, otherwise I won't get paid.

In addition, father, mother, and Zhan Guo, the next step is to supervise the quality from door to door to ensure that they are processed according to our requirements.

In fact, I have also seen the processing of canned rice. It doesn’t have much technical content. Many people in the village have done it themselves before, so it’s not a big problem! "

"But... aren't you afraid that others will learn from you and then go it alone?"

Yao Xiangui was still a little worried, with a heavy look of worry on his face.

"Okay, I won't stop anyone who wants to do it alone, and I don't have the right to stop them. But whether you can do it depends on your personal ability."

Yao Weijun said with a confident smile without explaining too much.

Although it seemed that the cans were distributed to the villagers for processing, he would definitely not tell anyone about the addition of citric acid to the sugar water. He would distribute the sugar water with citric acid added to each household, so there was no need to tell anyone about it. No one knows what else was added to it.

After dinner in the evening, Yao Weijun went back to his room to rest early.

As the saying goes, a short break is better than a newlywed, he made Yu Xiunan feel deep love.

The next morning, You Damin drove his car to load the goods on time. Yao Weijun invited him into the hall and awkwardly explained about the motorcycle.

"Brother You, I'm really sorry. What I just said is the whole process. Now do you think this will work? Let's add up the price of the motorcycle and I'll pay you as compensation. In addition, I'll give you an extra 500 yuan as mental compensation. Please take this as my apology, this matter is indeed my fault!"

Yao Weijun said sincerely.

You Damin waved his hand, "You shouldn't be blamed for this, just those damn Jie Dao people. I can only say that you are unlucky. Even if I met you, I wouldn't be much better than you, so how could I I want more money from you."

When he said this, he pondered slightly and said cheerfully:

"I've been riding that motorcycle for a long time. It's not worth a lot of money. Even if I don't throw it away, I'm going to get a new one in a few days. You don't have to blame yourself too much. Calculate the 700 yuan. From the payment Deductions, don’t mention any mental compensation, otherwise you’ll be looking down on me!”

"Brother You, don't get me wrong. I feel really guilty. You were kind enough to lend me the ride, but you ended up in this mess, ugh!"

Yao Weijun was also speechless and explained with a wry smile.

"Okay, you didn't throw away my motorcycle on purpose. Between us friends, we have to settle the accounts clearly, but I definitely don't want the extra money."

You Damin said firmly again.

Yao Weijun was about to say something else, when Shunzi's voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Yao! I have something to do with you!"

"Brother You, drink your tea and wait for me. I'll go take a look."

Yao Weijun got up and went out of the house, meeting Shunzi walking in the yard.

"Hey! Isn't your motorcycle parked in the yard? That's weird!"

Shunzi saw the motorcycle parked in the yard, and a look of surprise appeared on her originally anxious face.

"What's wrong? Shunzi, if you know something, tell me now!"

Yao Weijun's heart moved and he asked quickly.

When he saw that Shunzi first paid attention to his motorcycle as soon as he entered the door, and what he said was a bit strange, he couldn't help but think more about it and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Oops, I can't tell for a while, let's go, just go to my house and see!"

When Shunzi saw someone in the yard busy weighing and loading the car, he didn't explain immediately, but pulled Yao Weijun out of the yard.

"Wait for me a moment, there are still guests in the house."

Yao Weijun walked quickly into the main room and said to You Damin who was sitting: "Brother You, I'm going out to do some urgent errands. I'll be back soon. Don't leave until I load the car later. Just wait for me for a few more minutes!" "

"Well, it's okay, you go and do your business."

You Damin stood up as he spoke, followed him out of the main room, and then went to the truck loading station to help.

Yao Weijun followed Shunzi out of the hospital, and before walking far, he asked again:

"Shunzi, what is going on? There are no outsiders now. Please tell me!"

"Hey, early this morning, the monkey came to see me..."

As soon as Shunzi said this, he saw Yao Weijun stopped and his face became solemn, so he quickly continued:
"He came to me on a motorcycle and asked me to hand it over to you. He said he knew that you were robbed in the middle of the night and found the lost motorcycle for you!"

"..." Yao Weijun looked complicated and couldn't help but ask: "Then why didn't he come to me directly?"

"Monkey said that he doesn't want to see you recently, and he also said that he would help you ride the motorcycle back this time, so that the matter from last time would be settled."

After Shunzi conveyed Hou Liang's words, he asked curiously: "Weijun, what did you and Monkey do last time? Did you two have a conflict?"

Yao Weijun pulled him and said, "Let's go to your house. I'll tell you while we're walking."

In this way, the two of them arrived at Shunzi's house. On the way, Yao Weijun briefly talked about the last time he met Hou Liang on the commune street.

"Damn, he really showed his knife to you? Hey, this kid no longer regards us as brothers!" After hearing this, Shunzi couldn't help but said loudly.

"You can't say that, otherwise I won't help me get the motorcycle back this time. It's just that the path he chose... I'm afraid it will hurt him in the end!"

Yao Weijun frowned and said in a deep voice.

At this time, he had already seen You Damin's motorcycle in the courtyard of Shunzi's house. Fortunately, it had not been modified or disassembled, and it was still exactly the same as the original one.

"Now, Shunzi put the key in it. I originally wanted to keep him to meet you, but this guy stopped the car and drove away in his brother's car. He only left these few words."

Shunzi pointed at the motorcycle and said again.

"Next time I see him, please convey my thanks." Yao Weijun roughly checked the motorcycle. Because You Damin was still waiting at home, he didn't stay long. He pushed the motorcycle out of the yard and said to Shunzi:

"Monkey still has a relationship with our friend. When you see him, try your best to persuade him to come back, or ask him to come to me. I have something to discuss with him!"

"Okay, walk slowly!" Shunzi nodded in agreement from behind.

You Damin's motorcycle was lost and recovered. Yao Weijun was still very grateful to Hou Liang, but there were some things he didn't have the chance to say in person, so he could only express his gratitude in person later.

He returned home on his motorcycle, and the movement immediately caught You Damin's attention. As soon as he entered the hospital, the latter came over with a look of surprise on his face.

"Hey! Brother Yao, were you joking with me just now? Hey, good guy, I really thought I lost my motorcycle, you've done a lot of damage!"

You Damin touched his motorcycle with joy on his face, but couldn't help complaining angrily.

"Brother You, just think I'm joking. It's my fault this time. I'll fight or punish you as you wish!"

Yao Weijun felt happy and responded with a smile.

He couldn't explain the lost and recovered motorcycle, otherwise Shunzi would have to be involved, especially Hou Liang's kindness, which might become evidence for the police station to arrest people.

This was something Yao Weijun didn't want to see, so he followed You Damin's words and tried to prevaricate it, which seemed to be true and false.

After a while, all the roasted seeds and canned goods were loaded into the truck. After You Damin finished the settlement happily, he left on his motorcycle and left.

In just a matter of seconds, the delivery vehicle from the glass factory arrived.

According to Yao Weijun's request, Deputy Factory Director Han sent over all the [-] bottles that had been made a few days ago.

It also promised to supply all [-] bottles within a week.

There are still more than 1 kilograms of red dates in the cellar. Based on the calculation that one kilogram can make three bottles of cans, the current inventory is enough to make more than 5 bottles. Yao Weijun has also agreed with Fatty Lin that three more cans will be delivered in a few days. Tens of thousands of kilograms of red dates, there is no problem with the raw materials.

Everything is ready.

After lunch, Yao Weijun came to the village headquarters to check how many people were willing to sign up for canning processing.

There are more than 300 households in Jianchang Village, with a population of [-] to [-] people.

After the branch secretary's meeting yesterday, more than 100 households came to Zhao Shuliang to register on the spot, and after one night, sixty or seventy households were willing to join in the morning.

By the time Yao Weijun got the registration book from Zhao Shuliang at noon, nearly two hundred households had already signed up.

"Brother Shuliang, I see that your family signed up quite early. Do you think this will work? You'll be a little tired. Next, you can help me with the statistical matters of shipping and recycling, okay? "

Yao Weijun looked at the statistical list and said to Zhao Shuliang with a smile.

"No problem, as long as you trust me, I will take care of this matter!" Zhao Shuliang readily agreed and took back the registration book.

"Well, let's start now. You use the loudspeaker to call the servants and ask everyone to gather in front of my house."

"Okay!" Zhao Shuliang nodded in agreement, and with Li Qiming's acquiescence, he turned on the village's loudspeaker to shout.

Yao Weijun returned home first, and as soon as he organized Ma Zhanguo and others who were making sugar water, people began to arrive one after another at the entrance of the courtyard.

He waited for Zhao Shuliang to arrive, and after confirming everyone's names, he said loudly to the crowd:

"Uncles, aunts, and fellow villagers, I hope everyone will use snacks for this job and try their best to process them at home according to my requirements. You should have heard before that the processing fee for a bottle is five cents, and If the quality of the product is not up to standard, there is nothing you can do. You won’t be able to get the money, and you will have to pay for the materials.

Of course, the work is also very simple. I will provide all the raw materials, including the boiled sugar water. You only need to carry it back in a clean bucket and add it according to the standards. Do you have any questions? "

After his words fell, the crowd was silent for a while. Someone from one direction smiled and asked:

"Weijun, don't worry. Since we are involved, we must do the job well for you before we can get paid. Otherwise, we won't be embarrassed, haha... I just want to ask, this processing fee is settled every day. Or is it the final one-time settlement?”

Yao Weijun smiled. He knew that everyone wanted to know this question, so he looked around at everyone and said seriously: "Settlement will be made on the same day. As long as the acceptance is passed, the amount will be settled immediately. Don't worry about this!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and many people suddenly looked eager to try, wishing they could take the materials home and process them right away.

Yao Weijun once again warned about the quality problem, and then took the lead in Ma Zhanguo and three others to distribute the raw materials.

The cans and bottles are piled in the yard, and the red dates are in the cellar to the east of the yard. It is very convenient to distribute them. Each household fills the bottles with its own sacks, and then carries a bag of red dates, and then goes home to produce them.

A lot of brown sugar water had been brewed in the morning. After people signed and received all the ingredients, they took the prepared brown sugar water back with the bucket again.

The noise in the yard hasn't died down yet, and some households that move quickly have already rolled up their sleeves and got busy.

A total of two hundred households participated. Yao Weijun calculated that even if each household processed two hundred bottles a day, it would only take two or three days to produce [-] bottles of cans.

Such production efficiency can be said to be very terrifying, and the supply aspect has been completely solved.

Father Yao Xiangui, mother Zhu Mei, and Ma Zhanguo were all transformed into quality inspectors. They went in and out of every house in the village to check the portions of cans and the fumigation time. They were very busy.

Yao Weijun and Zhao Shuliang kept an eye on all the materials that were distributed, trying to minimize waste.

In this way, when the lights were turned on that night, more than 7000 bottles of finished cans had been recovered. These had all been inspected and the quality was similar to those processed by Ma Zhanguo and others.

"Tomorrow I will make canned brown sugar and jujubes for another day, and then I will buy some fruits of all kinds and start the production of assorted cans the day after tomorrow!"

Yao Weijun was satisfied and secretly sorted out his plan.

He decided to go out to buy all kinds of fruits tomorrow, and then called Sun Baobing and Boss Zhang from Liulichang to ask them to pick up the goods!
