Chapter 452: Sprinkle Sweet Potatoes Along the Way
The food at this live auction.
In the end, a big grain seller paid 6 cents for a catty of grain and 76 cents for a catty of rice, and took all the 5 tons of grain into his pocket.
previously,
Luo Xuan met those three dealers outside the canteen at the construction site. The price they quoted for corn at that time was 6 cents and 8 cents per catty.
Now it seems that after a lot of hard work and several layers of peeling, the several grain vendors have divided up the price difference of 6 cents per pound.
The profits of grain sellers are actually not very high.
The reason for this situation is probably mainly because Director Liu and others bid in a semi-public way when selling food.
This kind of operation makes food prices relatively transparent, and no one can make huge profits.
If it is according to Luo Xuan's previous estimation: those grain sellers are connected with the senior leaders of the construction site.
The price difference between the grain prices must be more than this little.
Now it seems that the leaders at this construction site are quite fair and honest.
Even a very responsible person.
Their series of operations are not compliant, but they are very humane and transparent.
It’s better to be more transparent!
I'll take a good road trip myself first, and then wait until Director Zhong of the Planning Commission arranges for someone to come to negotiate the purchase of grain in private.
Only then will he understand that he is busy running around in the middle and not only has he not made any money.
And he also lost a lot of money!
In this way, the favor Director Zhong owes to himself in the future will be to Dafa.
finally,
Luo Xuan gave up the on-site bidding and went straight to pre-ordering the next batch of grain.
The price of corn was 6 cents and 3 cents per catty, and the price of rice was 7 cents and 8 cents per catty. Luo Xuan smoothly pocketed the 5 tons of grain that were to be emptied from the construction site next week.
At this price, other grain dealers will not do it.
Because it is not economical for them to divide their staff into several layers.
But this price can save Rongwei County Planning Committee 100 yuan per ton of corn.
For every ton of rice, you can save 140 yuan.
If you calculate it this way, it's still quite cost-effective.
As for freight, the county planning committee will not consider this cost.
As for the Rongwei County Auto Transport Service Co., Ltd., if they do not advance the gas money, eventually the profits earned by the service company will have to be handed over in full.
If the service agency posted the gas money, it would just be included in the daily expenses account.
Although it is all public money.
But with this change, the cost of food procurement by the county planning committee will become even lower.
At least on the surface, that's what it looks like.
After booking the next batch of 5 tons of grain, Luo Xuan paid a deposit of 200 yuan, then took out a pack of cigarettes and thanked the warehouse manager who was eager to help.
Then returned to the room.
The room in the guest house was empty. Takumi probably went to wander around instead of waiting for herself in the room.
She was in this unfamiliar place, so she wasn't afraid of anyone seeing her true face.
So what if I saw it?
The most I can do is praise her: Oh, this little sister is so good-looking!
Taking advantage of Takumi Rei's absence,
Luo Xuan went down to the parking lot of the guest house, propped up the iron poles on the truck, and unfolded the tarpaulin.
If you take this trip by yourself, you will definitely not come back empty-handed.
But Luo Xuan was unwilling to spend money to buy high-priced grain and then sell it at a low price. So Luo Xuan planned to load 5 tons of grain in the space first.
Put it on the truck to take it back for delivery.
After all, these grains are grown in my own space. I can only stop calculating the cost and settle this matter first.
It's daytime now.
In the parking lot, people were coming and going from time to time, and there was even a woman who came to the construction site with her children to visit her man.
At this time, they took their children and ran to the parking lot to look at the car.
He reached out to touch the car lights and punched the car's tires with his small fist.
With this experience, after the children returned to the ravine, it was enough for them to stand in front of their friends who had never touched a car up close.
I've been bragging about it for months...
Seeing that there were too many people in the parking lot, Luo Xuan felt that it was really inconvenient to act now.
In the end, Luo Xuan had to cover the tarpaulin and lower the curtain behind the butt of the car. This would give people the illusion that the car was full of cargo.
After finishing these things,
Luo Xuan then returned to the room, undressed and lay on the bed, waiting for Tuo Haili to come back.
Not long after,
Tuo Haili held a lotus leaf in her hand, with deep-fried dried fish wrapped in it, and came back jumping up and down.
"Huh? Xuanxuan, why are you back?"
Takumi Rei's sexy and beautiful little lips became even more red and alluring after being dried by the spicy fish.
"I just went shopping and asked two grain sellers. I feel that their grain prices are much cheaper than those in Rongwei County."
Takumi said: "It's just that no matter how cheap it is, if you buy it back and sell it at the planned food price, then how much will you have to lose?"
"I did some calculations. If you add up 1,000 kilograms of coarse and fine grains, you will lose at least 600 yuan."
Tuo Haili sighed: "I am also going to use all the hundreds of dollars I got from selling my house to help you."
"But now it seems that it is only a drop in the bucket. If this continues for a long time, how can you bear it?"
Tuo Haili shook Luo Xuan's shoulders: "How about we go back and tell Director Zhong that we can't fix this matter?
They are also public entities after all, so they can’t let us private individuals suffer such a huge loss, right?”
Luo Xuan smiled: "To suffer a loss is to take advantage. I'm not afraid of suffering some losses now, but I'm afraid that the leaders won't let me earn my performance.
Now that I can make Director Zhong owe me such a big favor, he will never treat me badly in the future, so you can rest assured."
Tuo Haili saw Luo Xuan's determination,
She couldn't help but smile sweetly: "To suffer a loss is to take advantage? But the last thing I want to suffer is to suffer a loss. I would rather suffer something else than suffer a loss."
Luo Xuan was startled: "Hey, hey, you just ate something spicy and you haven't rinsed your mouth yet!"
"It's okay!"
Tuo Haili smiled and said: "This bag of dried fish tastes pretty good. I couldn't stop eating it just now..."
That night,
After Tuo Haili fell asleep, Luo Xuan crept out of the room again.
He ran alone under the tarpaulin in the carriage and packed all the food in the space into small sacks.
Then he moved the grains out of the space and stacked them one by one in the carriage using his mind power.
There is plenty of space for hauling 5 tons of grain in the CA10 truck compartment.
In particular, Luo Xuan used iron rods to raise the height of the tarpaulin and loaded 5 tons of grain onto it. The carriage behind was actually not yet full.
Luo Xuan thought for a while,
Then he entered the space and loaded about 6,000 kilograms of fresh sweet potatoes.
Then pull out the latch at the bottom of the rear compartment baffle so that there is always a gap at the bottom of the baffle.
After all this, check it carefully again.
Luo Xuan clapped his hands with satisfaction, jumped out of the carriage, went back to his room and continued to sleep.
Luo Xuan made a rough estimate of this cart of grain: He would have to put in more than 4,000 yuan.
Even on the sack, I could earn some three melons and two dates.
But because the county planning committee purchased the grain from itself at planned prices.
Fine grains cost 1.75 cents per catty, while coarse grains only cost 9 cents per catty.
At the frog market in Rongwei County, fine grains were sold for 1 yuan per catty at this time.
If you lose, just lose!
This account cannot be settled.
As for the safety of the food placed in the car tonight, Luo Xuan is not worried.
At this temporary stop,
There are dedicated security personnel who carry rifles and patrol day and night to ensure the safety of vehicles and goods in the parking lot.
So when the car is placed here, Luo Xuan is not worried about anyone daring to touch it.
You know these security personnel, when they see a thief, they really dare to shoot!
Early the next morning,
After Luo Xuan and Tuo Haili finished practicing, they both got in the car and drove back to Rongwei County.
Only this time,
Along the way, Luo Xuan sat in the cab and drove. Tuo Haili got into the car, ready to kick Sweet Potato out of the car at any time.
To help those poor people wandering along the way...
Often when we are in front of others, we see groups of people in ragged clothes.
He would reach out and pat the wall of the cab, and at this time, Takumi Rei was sitting in the carriage.
She would use her feet to push the sweet potatoes along the gap at the bottom of the car's fender and push them under the car...
actually,
In the Rongwei County area, the sweet potatoes stored last year have long been used up.
It's just that the further north you go, the lower the temperature becomes, especially in the Qinling Mountains, where it gets even colder.
Therefore, it is normal that there are still sweet potatoes stored in the sweet potato cellars in this area.
So when Luo Xuan took out the sweet potatoes, it didn't arouse Tuo Haili's suspicion.
The food shortage seems to be more serious in this area.
When driving on the road, from time to time, you will encounter homeless families in groups, carrying walking sticks, holding broken bowls, and carrying tattered packages.
Help the old and the young to move forward.
"Puff puff"
Big, sweet sweet potatoes fell to the ground.
"Mom! Look, a lot of sweet potatoes fell from the car in front."
Walking on the roadside, a 10-year-old boy first saw the sweet potato that Takumi kicked down.
Excited, she quickly pulled her fluffy-haired mother: "Mom, take two steps quickly and let's pick up sweet potatoes. Today at noon, we can have roasted sweet potatoes at home!"
"this..."
The woman hesitated and said: "These are all public belongings. If we pick them up, it will be regarded as stealing public property... That is not good. We will be punished."
Takumi was sitting in the carriage, with a curtain behind her.
Therefore, these people walking on the road cannot see what is going on inside the carriage.
They just thought it was the driver who was transporting the goods. He was careless and didn't close the rear door properly.
"Mom! Didn't you see those people in front of you, they were all desperately picking up?"
The little boy quickly pulled his mother and ran forward as fast as possible to pick up the sweet potatoes that fell on the road. "Even if we ask the driver to stop now, it's not right!"
Mom, please hurry up, please? If you don’t pick it up, we will be gone. Look at my sister, she is so hungry that she doesn’t even have the strength to cry..."
A timid and honest woman.
She turned around and looked at her little daughter, who was sitting on a stone by the roadside and could no longer walk.
After all, her timid temperament could not resist the temptation of sweet sweet potatoes, "Oh, this comrade driver is too careless.
Along the way, I think he lost 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, right?
Alas, I don’t know what kind of severe punishment this careless driver will receive from his employer when he returns home? Alas..."
People along the way picked up the sweet potatoes that fell from the truck.
Whether it is a toothless old woman or a young child with only two front teeth, they all hold the raw sweet potatoes and gnaw on them!
Everyone is really hungry.
They couldn't wait to make a bonfire and roast these sweet potatoes before eating them.
While gnawing, these people squatted on the road and moved forward little by little to pick up the sweet potatoes that had fallen on the road.
Everyone is afraid of being picked up by others...
"Okay! It's done."
Wait until Takumi gets off all the sweet potatoes in the carriage.
Without even saying hello to Luo Xuan, she relied on her own skill to flip over and get out of the gap in the curtain behind the tarpaulin of the truck.
I saw her waist twist
Lift the tarp top lightly, then climb along the tarp to the top of the cab.
Take your hands off the steering wheel,
Just using his mind, Luo Xuan, who was driving there, suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing on the passenger window.
Shocked, Luo Xuan quickly stretched out his hand to hold the steering wheel, and then he dared to take the lead and take a look at Takumi Rei, who had already rolled in from the passenger window.
"You don't want your life?!"
Luo Xuan scolded dissatisfiedly: "You are doing such acrobatics in a car with a speed of more than 40 kilometers per hour? If you fall, your grandpa will not be able to see, and you? You will become a lame again. From now on, who will you two be?
Who are you taking care of?"
"Keke, it's a trivial matter."
Takumi smiled sweetly and said: "Anyway, we are here to seek refuge with you. As long as you are here, we are not afraid."
Seeing that Luo Xuan's anger was still lingering, Tuo Haili quickly changed her words and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry. If I become a lame, at worst we won't be barefoot doctors anymore... Let's just sit in the clinic instead, right?"
Luo Xuan snorted: "One has eye disease, uu read www.uukanshu.com and the other is lame. Who dares to let you treat him?"
"Doctors don't heal themselves!"
Tuo Haili smiled and said: "At worst, I won't charge the patients in front of me. When they see the effect, am I afraid that I won't be able to make a name for myself?"
By then, am I still worried that no one will come?
I'm afraid they have to wait in line if they want to ask me, the genius doctor, to treat them once!"
Alas, there is no way.
I met such a young and beautiful girl who always takes care of herself... who always takes care of herself.
I really can't take advantage of her...
The sweet potatoes in the carriage have been distributed.
But along the way, there are still many people dragging their families and supporting the elderly and children to wander south.
That night,
Luo Xuan took advantage of the opportunity to park for the night in a county town he was passing by and loaded several thousand kilograms of rice into the carriage.
On the second day,
Grain was flowing sparsely through the gaps in the carriage's baffle, and it headed south, heading straight for Rongwei County.
The food scattered along the way is very messy.
However, Luo Xuan is not worried that the food will be wasted: because of the people migrating south along the highway.
Naturally, they would use weeds as brooms on the side of the road to collect the grain mixed with dust little by little.
And in order to prevent Takumi Rei from noticing the abnormality.
Luo Xuan also specially bent the reflector on the passenger side.
In this way, Takumi Rei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could not see the movement behind the car.
In addition, Luo Xuan was deliberately teasing her along the way, and from time to time he would ask Takumi to lie down and do some private work.
Thus,
Takumi Rei, whose mind was not on the scenery along the way, was even less aware of the abnormality behind the car...
