Chapter 198
After having a full meal, Sun Lianying introduced Li Wen to the branch leaders present, and then started talking about tea.
In fact, the acquaintance Sun Lianying mentioned was Manager Wang. Sun Lianying's father was a senior official in the Commerce Bureau. These people were all his subordinates and comrades. Sun Lianying basically knew them.
"Manager Wang, in addition to the tea supplied to the unit, how much unplanned tea can we provide this time?" Sun Lianying put down his glass and asked with a smile.
“The weather has been good this year, with relatively few pests and diseases, and our Jinzhou tea harvest has been bumper.
In addition to the tea provided to the head office this time, as mentioned last time, we can also provide an additional 800 kilograms of tea.
But you also know that all the first-class products are handed over to the supply and marketing cooperative by the members, and these are all for export, and the rest are of second- and third-grade quality, mostly third-grade." Manager Wang said a little apologetically.
"Xiao Wen, take out the samples in your bag and let Manager Wang take a look." Sun Lianying greeted Li Wen.
When he came to Qinnan, Li Wen gave most of the cornmeal and flour to Sun Lianying, and only contained three kilograms of samples in his bag.
"Manager Wang, leaders, here are samples, please give us your guidance." Li Wen smiled and handed over two small cloth bags.
"oops!"
"This cornmeal is very fine! It is much finer than whole wheat flour. It is a fine grain." The second-in-command of the branch received the cornmeal and said in surprise.
"This flour is fine too. The standard Fuqiang flour is whiter than the flour from our city flour mill." Manager Wang looked at the flour and nodded in praise.
Of course, they are not complimenting the quality of things, but complimenting Sun Lianying's energy.
"Manager Wang, these grains are all high-quality grains. I got a lot of them through my connections this time. Eight hundred kilograms of tea is too little.
They said they need some tea bricks, and it doesn’t matter if the quality of the tea is lower. See if you can coordinate with people you know in the supply and marketing department."
Manager Wang and all the branch leaders felt itchy when they saw such good food.
"Brother Sun, how much of this food can you provide in exchange this time?" Manager Wang asked with a smile.
"Xiao Wen, come and report to the leaders how much food can be provided this time." Sun Lianying pointed at Li Wen.
"Dear leaders, this time we are sincere and exchange high-quality grain at a fair price.
A total of 4,000 kilograms of cornmeal and two thousand kilograms of flour were shipped this time, and all the food is of the same quality as today." Li Wen stood up and said confidently.
"hiss!"
"Be good!"
"How much tea do we have to exchange for this?"
For a while, the sound of gasping could be heard in the private room.
Next, the leaders of the branches present here began to divide the remaining grain shares based on their personal connections.
"Brother Sun, we have eaten this food, and we will first trade our unit's 800 kilograms of loose tea tonight.
However, I suggest transporting the grain here first, so that it can be easier to trade with the supply and marketing system and the brigade for physical goods." Manager Wang suggested with a smile on his face.
Li Wen looked at Sun Lianying with a smile, and Sun Lianying understood what Li Wen meant.
"No problem, just pack the tea after dinner, and I'll have the food delivered tonight." Sun Lianying nodded in agreement.
"That's great." There was a lot of joy in the box for a while.
Eight hundred kilograms of tea does not sound like much, but this stuff, especially in bulk, is light and fluffy. The tea leaves cannot be compacted, so a hemp bag of one hundred kilograms usually holds 16 bags.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Zhang. Please drive more carefully on the road." Sun Lianying warned Li Wen and Zhang Junqiang at the door of the warehouse.
It was past eight o'clock in the evening, and the city had entered rest time. There was only one truck moving alone in the dark night.
"Xiao Li, how far is it?" Zhang Junqiang asked as he drove out of the city.
"Master Zhang, have you seen the abandoned house in front of you? That's the place."
Li Wen's mental power can detect the distance of fifty meters around. There are no residents around the place where the vehicle is at this time. Only this abandoned house stands alone, which is an excellent transportation location.
"Master Zhang, please wait in the car for a while. I'll go down and talk to them." Li Wen opened the car door and jumped out.
This residence is in dilapidated condition, and most of the houses have collapsed.
Li Wen found a relatively clean room, collected all the debris into the space, and threw it outside the wall.
With a wave of his hand, sixty bags of grain appeared in the middle of the house, and then two black dogs were released.
"Master Zhang, these friends of mine don't want to come out, for fear that you will recognize them and let us move the goods ourselves." Li Wen walked to the car and said sheepishly.
"What!"
"How many kilograms of grain can we move by ourselves?" Zhang Junqiang's head suddenly filled with black lines.
"I told them, but they were too cautious and didn't want to come out, but they provided a truck.
They also said that if we move it ourselves, we can get an extra twenty kilograms of cornmeal.
I have already received benefits, so I don’t need any more food, I will give it to you when the time comes." Li Wen said in a low voice.
"Dry!"
"Isn't it just dozens of bags of grain! As long as you give me a favor, I can move several thousand more kilograms." When Zhang Junqiang heard that he was given twenty kilograms of fine cornmeal, he immediately jumped out of the cab.
"Hey, where did these two big dogs come from?"
When Zhang Junqiang got out of the car, he saw two big dogs and was so frightened that he immediately jumped into the car again.
"Dahei, Erhei, go aside." Li Wen drove aside the two dogs who were chasing Zhang Junqiang and sniffing.
"Master Zhang, don't be afraid. This dog doesn't bite, it's just for warning." Li Wen looked at the shivering Zhang Junqiang hanging on the car door and said with a smile.
"These two dogs are too big." Zhang Junqiang saw Li Wen chasing the dogs away, and then he jumped down tremblingly.
"Don't worry, let's move it quickly. These several kilograms of stuff are quite a lot!" Li Wen jumped on the carriage and pulled down more than a dozen bags of tea.
"Master Zhang, it will be a lot more convenient to have this cart." One of them pulled it and the other loaded it. In a few minutes, they loaded more than a dozen bags of tea into the carriage.
"Xiao Li, you are not old but you are very strong!" Seeing Li Wen pick up a bag of flour with one hand and throw it into the carriage, Zhang Junqiang was convinced.
"I can't help it. I have been strong since I was a child, but there is also a disadvantage, that is, I eat a lot. I can eat more than a dozen buns in one meal." Li Wen said with a smile.
"That's a lot of food."
With Li Wen as a strong man, the two of them threw all sixty bags of grain into the carriage in less than an hour.
After loading the car, Li Wen returned to the yard and put the tea and dogs into the warehouse.
"Xiao Li, it's so easy for me to earn these twenty pounds of cornmeal!
You carried most of this food, why don't I give you ten kilograms?" Zhang Junqiang said awkwardly, holding two small bags in his hands.
Among the two bags in Zhang Junqiang's hand, one was Zhang Junqiang's reward for driving, which was ten kilograms of white flour, and the other was twenty kilograms of cornmeal.
"Uncle Zhang, just accept it! When I return to Chang'an, I will help the unit transport 2,000 kilograms of grain, and I won't give you any benefits then." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Hey! What else can you do to transport your own unit?" Zhang Junqiang waved his hand and said.
"There are no benefits for transportation. We have to do it ourselves, so don't be polite." Li Wen explained with a smile.
