Chapter 61: Pig Exchange
Chapter 61: Pig Exchange (Thanks to Yulin Zixi for the monthly vote!)
Li Kailang drove to the security department building and stopped.
"Brother Wang, wait for me, I have something to do!" Li Kailang said.
"It's okay, it's okay, you go ahead and do your work first!" Wang Changjun said immediately.
Li Kailang has waited for him for so long, it is only right for him to wait a little longer.
Li Kailang got out of the car, ran straight to the second floor, and went to the armory to get a gun.
A trip of fifty or sixty kilometers is still somewhat dangerous. Even though it is in broad daylight and the villages are all around Sijiu City, you still need to be careful.
Li Kailang took the Mauser M1932 submachine gun and 20 rounds of bullets with ease.
"By the way, Xiao Li, remember to go to the training ground and practice shooting when you are free next month." Uncle Ding reminded.
Li Kailang was only hired as a driver's assistant in April, so he won't be able to practice shooting until next month.
"Okay, Uncle Ding." Li Kailang responded.
"Just know it, go ahead."
After leaving everyone's sight, Li Kailang put the pistol and bullets into the ring.
"Brother Wang, sorry for waiting!" Li Kailang said.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Wang Changjun replied.
Wang Changjun looked at Li Kailang's body secretly, trying to see where the gun was hidden.
There are also dangers for their buyers, although not as serious as for drivers, but they do occasionally encounter some dangerous elements.
It would be fine if we just wanted the supplies they purchased, but I'm afraid that we will have to leave behind the supplies, vehicles, and people as well.
In the past, there was a case where a buyer did not show up for several days in a row and did not come back after a visit to the buyer’s home. People were sent out to look for him and his body was found.
Not only the bicycles were gone, but also the purchased materials and most importantly, the people were gone!
Everyone only sees the benefits of being a buyer, but ignores the dangers.
Wang Changjun was also coveting the pistol. After all, which man doesn’t like one? Besides, they also have work needs.
However, Wang Changjun looked for a long time but didn't see it.
Li Kailang also noticed it and felt a little wary. Although they had a good relationship, he would be responsible if the pistol was lost.
"Let's go, Brother Wang!" Li Kailang said nonchalantly. Anyway, Wang Changjun couldn't shoot the gun.
The GAZ truck rumbled towards the outside.
The truck went straight out from Dongzhimen and the first stop was Qinjia Village.
Because Li Kailang was on a mission this time, he did not park the car outside the village like last time, but drove directly into the village.
But before entering the village, he honked the horn twice and then rumbled to the center of the village.
The villagers immediately poked their heads out and the children ran out of their homes.
Some children who were playing by the fields saw the truck driving into the village and ran over happily.
After stopping the car and turning off the engine, the two got out of the car, and Li Kailang took the receipt in his hand.
Everyone was on guard at first, but when they saw Wang Changjun, they all felt relieved.
This was Li Kailang's second time to come to Qinjia Village. The last time he met Village Chief Qin was by the field, which did not count as entering the village.
"Purchasing Manager Wang, long time no see. What are you purchasing this time?" asked an old man.
"Yes, it's been a long time since I saw you?" a woman also echoed.
"Wang Changjun, you actually brought a driver this time. Looks like there's good news!"
Wang Changjun was secretly delighted to see everyone welcoming him so much, thinking that it seemed that he would have a great harvest this time.
Especially the last sentence, which made him very happy, but he still held back and slapped the person who said it a few times, and then gave more money and tickets when he bought the company later.
However, he did not show it, but continued to maintain his image and said to everyone in a low voice:
"Don't worry, I brought enough money and tickets this time, enough for everyone to exchange for the items they want."
Then, he introduced to everyone: "This is Master Li who came to our village to deliver steel." (You can't say he came to deliver scrap.)
"Hello, Master Li!" "Sorry to bother you, Master Li!"
"Master Li is young and promising!"
Everyone looked at Li Kailang's young and stern face and exclaimed in admiration.
It was mainly due to the bonus of Li Kailang’s identity as a driver, plus the fact that he came to deliver steel to the village.
At this time, Village Chief Qin also came back with a group of young people.
Most of the people in the village had gone to the village, and he only rushed back when he saw a truck coming to the village.
"Xiao Li, Purchasing Manager Wang, why are you here?" Village Chief Qin asked enthusiastically.
Wang Changjun explained first: "Isn't this Brother Li who is here to deliver steel to Village Chief Qin? Just bring me along, I'm here to make some purchases as well."
Because of Li Kailang buying a pig, the relationship between the three of them became closer, and they no longer called each other Master Li.
"Yes, that's right. Look at my memory. I almost forgot about this. If I had known you were coming, I would have welcomed you at the entrance of the village." Village Chief Qin said embarrassedly.
"Village Chief Qin, you are busy with affairs and your matter is important, right, Brother Li!" Wang Changjun said.
They also felt the face given by Village Chief Qin, so naturally they didn't say much.
"Village Chief Qin, why don't we unload the steel first?" Li Kailang said
"Yes, yes, unloading the steel is important. You guys go and unload the steel. Xiao Li, which one do you want to unload?" Village Chief Qin ordered immediately.
"Whatever, it doesn't matter." Li Kailang replied
These steels had been sorted and piled up before, and their weights were roughly the same.
"Okay, find someone to unload it," Village Chief Qin ordered, and then said, "Brother Li, Purchaser Wang, go in and talk."
"Village Chief Qin, you guys decide. I won't come. I'll go shopping first!" Wang Changjun said, and then left first.
He comes here often, and has said whatever he wants to say long ago. Naturally, he is looking for Li Kailang.
Li Kailang followed Village Chief Qin to the house in the center of the village. This house is the village office and where major decisions on village affairs are made.
Seeing this, the villagers wisely did not follow.
"Brother Li, the native pig issue won't happen so quickly. We need to wait a little longer." Village Chief Qin also went straight to the point.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Li Kailang replied calmly.
"Okay, there's no rush. But I do have something to trouble you, Brother Li." Village Chief Qin said with difficulty.
"What's the matter? Village Chief Qin, tell me." Li Kailang asked.
"It's not a big deal. I see there is a small pile of steel in your car. I wonder if it's okay." Village chief Qin hesitated to speak.
Li Kailang also understood it immediately, and said with some difficulty: "It's possible, but it can't be too much, at most 10 kilograms."
Village chief Qin originally wanted to ask for more. After all, most of the excess iron products in the village were melted into iron ingots and sent to the steel plant.
However, Li Kailang received instructions from the Logistics Department that Qinjia Village, especially the villages near Sijiu City, would not be able to obtain much excess steel.
These villages are closest to the old city, and people can drive oxen or horse carts to the city to pull some steel scraps.
But it is difficult to transport steel to distant villages, so most of the extra steel is distributed to those distant villages.
Hearing this, Village Chief Qin had no other choice. It had always been like this before. "10 jin is 10 jin. I wonder what Brother Li wants."
"That's not necessary. I can still make the decision on these things. What about the pig at the end of the month?" Li Kailang said bluntly.
"Don't worry, Brother Li." Village Chief Qin also said frankly.
Li Kailang's meaning was very clear. He wanted to exchange these 10 kilograms of steel for a valuable pig.
After all, they are both pigs, so there is a difference between a heavier one and a lighter one.
Li Kailang would not be so noble as to give it away for free. What he did was to tell others what to do after him.
