Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 239 Finalized
Lin Heng had known for a long time that Li Chengguo would not agree to help him go to Ancheng to collect goods. Although the freight for one trip was high, it was more profitable for him to wholesale goods.

There is no shortage of trucks these days. It can be said that the supply exceeds the demand. If there is not enough fuel and water for a special trip, no one is willing to do it.

However, Lin Heng was curious about what Li Chengguo wanted to do with him. He looked at him and said, "What is it? Tell me."

Li Chengguo took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I'm not looking for you, but Ge Qingshan is looking for you. He said he got a batch of seed shrimp for you and asked if you want it."

Lin Heng was stunned by these words, a little surprised. He had only casually mentioned this matter to Ge Qingshan before, but had he really gotten himself a seed shrimp?
Because he is cultivating freshwater shrimp, even if there are no breeding shrimps, he can just catch them from the river and manually select outstanding individuals. It doesn't matter if there are any.

However, since there are ready-made shrimps, you can check them out. If the price is suitable, you can buy them yourself. You don’t have to go to the river to catch them yourself.

"If the price is right, I'll definitely buy it." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then you can go to his house by yourself later. He should be in the house today." Li Chengguo nodded.

After a pause, he added: "If you trust me, I can find you a driver who will do your own transportation. The vehicle is a Dongfeng 140 dump truck I bought. It should be enough for you."

"Then how is the transportation fee calculated here?" Lin Heng asked.

Ge Qingshan added: "After you taught me how to hunt pheasants last time, I tried dozens of times and harvested three pheasants in total. Hunting is too difficult."

Lin Yue was secretly shocked. He knew that truck drivers were very profitable, but he did not expect to be so profitable.

Lin Heng nodded and talked about fertilizer again. Li Chengguo said that he would get some for him later, but it would cost shipping.

Becoming a driver is a golden job. You don’t have to be a boss, because there are too few who know how to drive. Marrying a wife and having children couldn't be easier.

"Little things don't take much effort." Ge Qingshan said with a smile.

Lin Heng introduced his eldest brother, and then took Ge Qingshan to the restaurant for dinner. While waiting for the food to be served, he smiled and said: "Li Chengguo said you got me seed shrimp, so I came here to find you. "

He also had this intention in buying a three-wheeler. This thing is very rare and was used by the army in the past. He would be in awe of others when driving it, thinking that the person who drove this kind of car was either the leader or related to the leader.

It's just that he doesn't have a driver's license in this life, and he has to take the test again, so it's not easy to reveal it rashly. And even if he could drive, it would be difficult to rent a truck.

Before this, the popularity of chemical fertilizers had been very low, and farmers were unwilling to buy them because they were too expensive. A normal bag of 50 kilograms of compound fertilizer costs at least 25 yuan. Farmers cannot make money and cannot afford it.

Li Chengguo said: "It's a long way from Ancheng. Not counting gas money, you have to pay at least fifty yuan a day."

"Excuse me..." The guard asked uncertainly when he saw the two of them.

Ge Qingshan nodded and said: "I asked my dad the other day, and he said that there are a few fresh shrimp farmers in Taibai City who are selling shrimp seedlings and seeds. They are in Qingshui Town next to the city. He can use a relatively low Buy a batch at the price.”

"Okay, please wait a moment." The guard went in to call for someone without asking a word.

Li Chengguo smiled slightly: "There are few trucks these days, and there are even fewer drivers who know how to drive. Moreover, it is very dangerous to go across the city. People who pay fifty yuan may not go there."

It's impossible for him to teach someone how to play bow and arrow, and then they treat him like a father, and he just casually says that they can do everything.

Lin Heng was telling his brother how to drive a three-wheeler here. When he got back, he was going to let him practice by himself. It was still very important to learn how to drive.

"Okay, it's domineering enough." Ge Qingshan looked at it, a little envious, and prepared to do one himself.

Because Taibai City is on the edge of the Guanzhong Plain, fertilizers are transported here. Some other cities without plains may not have fertilizer.

Ge Qingshan was stunned when he came out. He walked over and took a closer look and said in surprise: "Did you buy this? It's been so long since I last saw you. You have changed a lot."

"Fifty yuan??" Lin Yue, who had been silently obedient next to him, couldn't help but his pupils trembled. This was too much. It was enough for him to earn for half a year.

But now that I know the place, I’ll find time to find out for myself. I don’t know what the level of shrimp farming was in this era. At that time, he was using the intensive farming method, and the annual yield per mu could reach about 3,000 kilograms.

Lin Hengla's fertilizer is entirely for his own use, and he doesn't think about selling it. The current price of fertilizer is very high, and farmers in such mountainous areas will not even buy seeds, let alone fertilizer.

When they arrived outside Ge Qingshan Community, the doormen couldn't help but nod and bow down to greet him. The military green tricycle and Lin Heng's outfit made him look too much like a leader.

"It's not much, especially when going to other cities is quite risky." Li Chengguo nodded.

Li Chengguo didn't care, it was normal to compare shopping.

"Lin Heng!"

"I'm looking for Ge Qingshan, please call me." Lin Heng said with a smile without explaining to him.

Then Lin Heng asked about the specific situation again, but Ge Qingshan said that he didn't ask specifically because it was still a long time.

"Thanks, let's find some time to go take a look when the flowers bloom in spring." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Domestic fertilizer production technology has always been very backward. It was not until the early 1990s that a large number of equipment was introduced from foreign countries and experience was learned. The technology was mature and gradually became popular throughout the country.

"Yes, the price is not much." Lin Heng nodded. In this era, truck drivers are called 'driver students', and it is one of the most enviable professions.

The salary of a truck driver is higher than that of two or three teachers or bank clerks, and he can also take on some private jobs from time to time, making a lot of money.

There are guns everywhere in this day and age. People in small places will block trucks when they see them and ask for money. If they don't give, they won't let them pass. There are even many robbers and murders. The transportation company is a fleet or a state-owned enterprise, so it will be much safer to follow them.

After talking to Li Chengguo, Lin Heng left with his eldest brother Lin Yue to visit Ge Qingshan.

"Okay, let me think about it for two days." Lin Heng thought for a while and said, he had to go to the transportation company to inquire.

Lin Heng was helpless and thought that it was okay. He was already helping to inquire for free, so he couldn't ask for too much.

If Lin Yue was driving, it would be more like that.

"That's okay, just let me know when you think about it."

Lin Heng laughed and said: "I made a little money to buy second-hand goods last year, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go to the city."

"You are already very good. My brother has only shot two bows and arrows so far." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Lin Heng naturally knows how to drive. In his previous life, he saved money to get a driver's license. He has been driving a semi-trailer for two years, and trucks are no problem.

"Yes, you really need talent with bows and arrows. I can miss even if I'm less than ten meters away." Lin Yue also nodded in agreement.

Hearing that Lin Yue was also interested in playing with bows and arrows, Ge Qingshan was eager to try hunting in the mountains.

But Lin Heng had no interest in taking him into the mountains. It was too difficult to take someone like him who grew up in the city in the mountains. He couldn't bear it if something happened.

So even though he expressed his desire to go into the mountain to see Lin Heng several times, he declined. Even if he wanted to go to the village to play, he was reluctant to refuse. He agreed to wait for spring to find a time to invite him to go up and have a look.

The meal cost five yuan. After eating, Lin Heng took his elder brother and left. In the afternoon, the two went to the transportation company to learn about the situation.

There is only one transportation company in Taibai City, which is a state-owned enterprise. In addition, there are some small private transportation companies, which are not companies but fleets. There are quite a few people like Zhao Hu, Liu Sheng and others who use tractors for transportation. It is so profitable to transport and dump goods in this era, and they all want a piece of the pie.

After a while, Lin Heng came to the door of Taibai Transportation Company. The guard didn't react at all when he looked at Lin Heng's clothes. He just glanced at his three-wheeled bicycle.

Anyone who can come to the transportation company to discuss business is rich, and the doorman is considered well-informed.

Lin Heng parked the car outside, walked over and handed a large front door cigarette to the doorman and said: "Uncle, let's go in and discuss business."

"Just register and you can get in." The guard took the cigarette and nodded expressionlessly.

"Uncle, may I ask, how much does it cost for our truck to go to Ancheng?" Lin Heng asked with a smile. Guards in state-owned enterprises like this should never be underestimated. They are usually relatives of a certain leader.

"I heard it was one hundred, but I don't know the details." The guard shook his head and didn't want to say more.

"Thanks."

Lin Heng nodded, and after registering, he went in with his elder brother. When you come to the business room, there will be salesmen to greet you.

After a conversation, Lin Heng got the information he wanted. A round trip costs two hundred yuan, and a one-way trip costs one hundred yuan. All expenses are included together.

This fee is very expensive, but there is no way. Cars in this era are as precious as giant pandas. Full rental like Lin Heng is so expensive.

Lin Heng's original intention was to rent it back and forth, collect some mountain goods and bring them to Ancheng to sell them, so that he could make a lot of money.

But now after comprehensive consideration, Lin Heng decided to forget it and just go over and buy some things he needed and bring them back.

Too lazy to bother.

After thinking for a while, after finishing a cup of tea, Lin Heng looked at the salesman in front of him and said: "Well, I am planning to go to Ancheng to buy things and transport them back. I want to rent a single trip. Should I go through the formalities here or over there in Ancheng?" ?”

"You can handle it here. You can take our truck to Ancheng, where we can unload the goods and then we can pick them up for you," the salesman said.

"Okay, I understand, I'll rent a one-way trip." Lin Heng nodded.

"Please come over here." The salesman took Lin Heng to the counter inside. What was required here was to pay the full amount first and then get a procedure.

Lin Heng had no choice but to pay the money and get the invoice and procedures. He didn't choose the fifty-fifty-a-day one. The cost of gas and other expenses to go to Ancheng was already seventy or eighty, and there was no safety guarantee.

Although it is a bit more expensive here, it is backed by the state, so you are guaranteed if something happens, and there is no time limit for this trip.

The departure date is noon the day after tomorrow, which is February 2 on the solar calendar, the tenth day of the lunar calendar. He can choose to come with the truck, or he can choose to go alone.

Anyway, as long as there are procedures when you get there.

"It's finally done."

After leaving the transportation company, Lin Heng looked at the dim sun in the clouds on the horizon and took a deep breath.

Although the laws have not changed yet, and the crimes of speculation and hooliganism are still there, the general environment has been liberalized, otherwise he, a small farmer, would not be qualified to rent a truck and do business.

"Brother, are you going alone the day after tomorrow or not?" Lin Yue asked from the side. After running around with Lin Heng for a day, he found that doing business was not easy.

"Both of us are not enough. I will call Lin Hai when I get back, and then we will drive my three-wheeler and follow the convoy to Ancheng."

Lin Heng held his eldest brother's shoulder and smiled and said, it was impossible for him to carry a passbook in the past. Now the credit unions are not connected to each other. It would be too dangerous to carry cash without a few people.

"That's it. Then I have to prepare well when I go back. I haven't been to Ancheng yet." Lin Yue said with a smile, looking a little excited.

"Actually, there's nothing good to see. They're all just houses." Lin Heng said with a smile.

After saying a few words, the two got in the car and headed back.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to Hongfeng Village. Lin Heng parked the car on the roadside and went back to the house first.

"Honey, my custom-made clothes are back, how do they feel?"

As soon as Xiulan opened the courtyard gate, Lin Heng couldn't wait to show it off.

Xiulan looked at it, her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise: "It's very good, it's pretty."

"Dad's new clothes look good." Xiaoxia, who was playing with a wooden cart in the yard, also said crisply.

"Haha, you guys really know how to tell the truth." Lin Heng took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoxia, and then took out a bouquet and gave it to Xiulan.

Xiulan took the blue-green hair flower and looked at it happily, then put it on her head, tilted her head and asked, "Does it look good?"

"Of course, it matches you very well. It feels elegant and refined." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Dad, I also want a haircut." Xiaoxia looked at her mother's hair and said enviously.

"Let's talk about it next time, you already have candy." Lin Heng pinched his little face.

After walking into the room and taking a sip of tea, Xiulan asked from the side: "Have you settled the matter?"

"Yes, we've agreed. We'll go to Ancheng the day after tomorrow. I'm going to ask my eldest brother to go with Lin Hai. It's safer for the three of us." Lin Heng nodded. After drinking the tea, he went into the room and changed his clothes.

Xiulan nodded: "That's good. I'm worried that it will be dangerous for you to die alone. How many days will it take for you to come back?"

"Two days, don't go long for more than three days." Lin Heng thought for a while and said, after a trip to Ancheng, he had to sell everything he needed.

Xiulan nodded and asked softly: "Are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

"You're not hungry. Let's eat together in the evening. I'll teach my elder brother how to drive a tricycle on the road. Do you want to learn?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"Why am I, a woman, learning this?" Xiulan blinked.

"Who says women can't learn? Anyway, it's okay for you to come with me."

Lin Heng said that he would pull her out together.

Xiulan couldn't resist him, so she had to go on the road with him.

"I want to go out too!" Xiaoxia saw that her parents were going out, so naturally she wanted to follow them.

When they came out, the eldest brother Lin Yue and his eldest nephew Lin Wei were already on the road.

"A tricycle is actually very simple." Lin Heng said as he got on the car and explained how to operate it.
