Chapter 62 Big Purchasing
Chapter 62 Big Purchasing
The deal was settled and both parties were satisfied.
Before leaving, Li Kailang suddenly asked, "Village Chief Qin, how is the autumn harvest?"
Village Chief Qin didn't know what Li Kailang meant, but he still replied: "The autumn harvest should be good, maybe even more."
When he said this, he felt a little happy in his heart.
After listening to Village Chief Qin's answer, Li Kailang nodded and said nothing more.
On the other side, Wang Changjun was also shopping in a room.
"Aunt Zhang, I'll give you twenty eggs. What ticket do you want this time?"
"I don't want tickets this time, I want money. My grandson is getting married next month, and I want to make some money for the bride price."
"Really? Congratulations!" Wang Changjun congratulated, "Then I'll give you a little more, 4 cents per egg."
As he spoke, Wang Changjun took out 9 cents and handed it to Aunt Zhang.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Aunt Zhang said gratefully.
Buyers also have their own ways.
After Aunt Zhang took the money and left, the next person came in. They made their purchases one by one, separately, to avoid a situation where one had too much money and the other had too little.
Li Kailang first got on the truck, took out 10 kilograms of steel, and then went to find Wang Changjun.
"Brother Li, why are you here?" Wang Changjun asked, but he didn't say clearly that there was someone next to him.
"The steel has been moved, so I came to see Brother Wang to see how the purchase went?"
"That's great! We have seven or eight yuan now. After we finish the purchase, there should be a lot more." Wang Changjun said.
He dared to make large purchases only because Li Kailang was there. If he had purchased on his own, he would have stopped at this amount, otherwise it would have been difficult to bring the goods back.
"Okay, Brother Wang, take your time. I'll wait for you outside." Li Kailang didn't even watch Wang Changjun's purchasing process. After all, it was someone else's business.
After a while, Wang Changjun finished shopping and left the room. Seeing Li Kailang and Village Chief Qin smoking, he walked over.
Li Kailang heard the voice behind him and saw Wang Changjun, "Brother Wang, have you finished the shopping?"
"The purchase is done, shall we go?" Wang Changjun said directly.
"Okay, let's go!" Li Kailang took the last puff and stomped it out.
After the steel was taken away, Village Chief Qin also signed the receipt, and the order was completed.
As for the supplies, they were placed in the room and taken when they returned.
Just as he was about to follow Li Kailang, Wang Changjun suddenly asked Village Chief Qin, "Village Chief Qin, do you have any pigs left in the village?"
Wang Changjun was not giving up. Although he had the guarantee of Li Kailang's pork, he still wanted an extra insurance.
Hearing this, Village Chief Qin shook his head and said, "It's gone. The other one was given to Xiao Li. The village can't sell it anymore, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."
Wang Changjun had no choice but to accept his fate and follow Li Kailang.
Qinjia Village still has surplus pigs, but these pigs cannot be sold now.
The higher-ups have given us targets, and the time to collect the pigs has not yet arrived. If anything unexpected happens, these extra pigs can be used to make up for it.
"Village Chief Qin, we're leaving!" Li Kailang greeted Village Chief Qin and drove away.
The same thing happened to the next six villages. These villages were all within Wang Changjun’s purchasing range, and they were the purpose for which he introduced Li Kailang.
Li Kailang was not familiar with these villages, so he did not go around randomly. He let them take the steel away, and then the village chief signed the receipt.
Li Kailang was waiting for Wang Changjun in the car, while Wang Changjun went to purchase.
After visiting 7 villages, Wang Changjun also obtained about 45 yuan in purchasing money.
"Huh, I finally completed the purchasing money for next month." Wang Changjun breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving every time, Wang Changjun would always ask if he could sell the pigs, but he never got the answer he wanted.
Wang Changjun had no other choice but to move to the next village again and again.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. In the past, he could purchase the pigs with a purchase amount of 30 yuan every month by working hard or spending some money, so he didn't have to worry about whether he could purchase pigs.
But now the purchase amount of 50 yuan makes him worried.
After leaving this village and walking for thirty or forty kilometers, the following villages are no longer within Wang Changjun's purchasing range.
A 30-kilometer ride takes almost 2 hours, and it takes even longer due to the bumpy terrain.
When I come back, I have to bring supplies with me, and the return journey takes about 3 hours.
Wang Changjun basically would not go to the village behind. He would rather spend money to buy supplies on the black market than go there.
After all, the money spent was also earned from the countryside, so just consider it as free work this month. As long as I can make up for the purchasing amount, I can still get the monthly salary.
Wang Changjun once went there and purchased some goods, but he fell on the way back and suffered from back pain. He rested for two days but was still very tired.
I basically didn’t go there anymore.
The distance of 30 kilometers is basically the limit of Wang Changjun. Li Kailang pulled the steel scraps and set out for Wangjia Village, but was stopped at the entrance of the village.
At this time, Wang Changjun was of no use.
Fortunately, Li Kailang had a mission, so after some explanation, he was allowed in.
Seeing this, Wang Changjun did not miss the opportunity to purchase, but the price was not as high as that of the previous villages.
Eggs were 4 cents each, and the same was true for other items.
However, this price still made the villagers happy.
Because of the long distance, not many buyers came. Even if they came, the price of eggs was only 3 cents, and the prices of other things were also suppressed.
They were reluctant to eat it, but they had to. After all, they couldn't sell it, and they couldn't let it go bad.
Seeing that Wang Changjun’s price was so “fair”, many villagers went home and took out eggs, dried mushrooms, wild vegetables, baskets they had woven themselves, and so on.
The basket is not well made, with a lot of space in the middle, so it cannot hold too much weight. One can tell at a glance that it was made in a hurry.
"Auntie, I don't want these baskets. Please take them back."
The old lady's face darkened and she took it back angrily.
Wang Changjun only accepts agricultural products and is unable to accept woven items such as baskets.
After all, he was purchasing food for the steel mill, and the factory had no shortage of these things. Besides, he was not here to do charity.
This basket is not difficult to weave, it just takes some time, and time is the most abundant thing in this era.
"Auntie, sell those baskets to me. I want them all." Li Kailang said at the right time.
Hearing this, the old lady's brows immediately lit up with joy.
"Really? Young man, I have ten of them, do you want them all?" The old lady was also shocked.
I originally thought no one wanted it.
"Brother Li, if you want these, tell me. I have a lot of them." Wang Changjun also stopped him in a low voice.
He didn't want Li Kailang to waste his money, so the buyer could get as much as he wanted.
The old lady also heard Wang Changjun mumbling in a low voice. Although she didn't know what he said, she knew that he was persuading Li Kailang.
Suddenly his eyes dimmed again and he left with the basket.
"Hey! Auntie, wait, you haven't sold this basket to me yet!" Li Kailang said immediately.
He also knew that he didn't need it. If it wasn't urgent, the old lady wouldn't sell the baskets. After all, everyone knows how to do it.
If someone still does something that is well known to everyone, it only means that he really has difficulties, otherwise he would not do it.
Li Kailang is not a saint, but he helps when he can.
"Brother Wang, stop persuading me!" Li Kailang also stopped Wang Changjun from persuading me.
"Okay! Since you said so, if I say anything else, it's my fault!" Wang Changjun could only agree.
"But I'll pay you, so don't argue with me!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Li Kailang looked at Wang Changjun's attitude and had no choice but to agree.
"Auntie, wait a minute, I'll give you the money!"
Wang Changjun handed over 5 cents to the old lady. A woven basket was 5 cents, which was still considered a lot.
After all, buying an egg also costs 5 cents, but people would rather buy eggs than woven baskets.
"Thank you! Thank you!" said the old lady gratefully.
"Okay, please keep them!" Wang Changjun said, and handed ten baskets to Li Kailang.
Li Kailang took it and put it together with the supplies purchased by Wang Changjun.
Some things cannot be delved into too deeply. If you do, you might end up getting yourself trapped in them.
Everyone could more or less guess what was going on with this kind of thing, and since the money had been given, Li Kailang didn't say much.
Li Kailang saw that the steel was being taken away, and Wang Changjun was also purchasing it.
Everyone did their job and it was completed quickly.
Wang Changjun still put the supplies here as usual, so he didn't have to worry about them being stolen, but only worried about them being misappropriated.
Although he purchased almost eight pieces, if it really happened that he was embezzled, Wang Changjun could still afford to pay, but he would feel a little painful.
But it also serves as a warning to myself.
As usual, Village Chief Wang signed the receipt to confirm, and the matter was completed.
Before leaving, Wang Changjun still asked if he could sell the pigs.
"I can sell the pigs, do you want them?" Village Chief Wang said calmly.
