Chapter 105 Coal in hand, crossing the river

"Yes, we can give us some more coal, and leave all the pork to us!"

The manager thought more than the dispatcher. They couldn't have it all to themselves. If they shared two or three thousand kilograms of the meat, the coal would come.

He definitely has a way to use half of the pork to get back the coal that was exchanged this time.

In this case, it is equivalent to that they got 3,000 kilograms of pork for free at the coal yard. Who wouldn't do such a good thing?
"Then start moving!"

As soon as Li Jiayi finished speaking, two workers each carried a slab of pork and walked towards the truck.

Even the dispatcher, driver and manager helped in the move.

As for Li Jiayi, he certainly wouldn't do it. He couldn't even move a child. Of course, that's what others think.

So he is very leisurely now, stroking A Sheng's dog head and standing aside watching.

Although six thousand kilograms was a lot, five people still moved it very quickly.

The main reason is that the distance is not far, and also the pork is cut into slices.

It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is less than fifty pieces. So on average each person has less than ten pieces of pork.

More than half an hour later, all the pork was loaded onto the truck. The manager, the dispatcher, and even the two workers all had smiles on their faces.

This amount of meat is enough for them to eat in the coal yard for several months, which means they will have meat to eat for several months to come.

He could even bring some extra back home for his wife and children. Although the coal yard was not small, there were not many workers. This was not a coal mine, so why would he need so many people?

The truck quickly returned to the coal yard, and the manager quickly arranged for people to unload the meat. Several people were exhausted from working there.

The unloading of the truck can only be handed over to others.

Back in the office, the manager looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "I'll arrange a truck to deliver the coal to you right away, but where is the coal going to be delivered to?"

"Just send it to where the pork is stored. You don't need to worry about anything else."

When the manager heard what Li Jiayi said, he thought: It is true.

"Okay, I'll have someone load it up and send it over."

Six thousand kilograms of pork, a total of one hundred and twenty tons of coal.

It sounds like a lot, but it's actually not that much, because coal is very heavy.

Anthracite, in particular, has a relatively high density, with one cubic meter weighing about 1.4 to 1.7 tons.

On average, if we calculate it at 50:50 per cubic ton, it would be less than 78 cubic meters, for a large coal truck.

In fact, it is the big Jiefang truck that was used in this era. Although the load capacity of this truck is only 4.5 tons, no one thinks that it can only carry 4.5 tons.

It is especially used for hauling coal, because this large Jiefang truck can carry about twenty cubic meters at a time.

Of course, the large Liberation trucks that transport coal all have elevated carriages, not the kind used in factories.

As for overloading, isn't it normal in this era? Not overloading seems to be abnormal.

If you calculate it this way, at most four cars would be enough to get the amount of coal that Li Jiayi wants.

Li Jiayi originally thought that it would be very troublesome and it might take several days to get the job done, but he didn't expect it would take even a day.

Soon four large Liberation trucks carrying coal arrived at the place where the meat was stored.

Li Jiayi asked them to unload directly onto the ground and then let them drive away.

The place Li Jiayi found was still very hidden, and it was also a location he chose on purpose.

Less than ten minutes after the truck left, he had collected the coal into the space, of course, in a static space.

Anyway, the static space is infinite, and it will take up space if placed somewhere else.

Then he took Asheng and the other three in and went into the woods.

Soon Li Jiayi also entered the space, took a shower and ate something. When he came out of the space again, it was already an hour later.

After coming out of the space, Li Jiayi did not return to the city, because this place was only a dozen kilometers away from Liu Village in a straight line.

It is even closer to his grandfather's house, less than ten kilometers away. Of course, this is the straight-line distance.

Although there is no traffic connecting here and Liu Village, there is no way because there is a river in between.

It is not accessible to vehicles, but people can still pass through as there is a ferry here.

There is a wooden boat at the ferry, which usually transports villagers from both sides of the river back and forth.

There is no charge for taking the boat, but each household has to give some food every year, and it’s not much, just one scoop of food, whether it’s wheat or corn.

This can be considered as a reward for the boatman.

Of course, this refers to the villagers on both sides of the river. If outsiders like Li Jiayi want to cross the river, they have to pay money, not much, only five cents per time.

Li Jiayi led Asheng and the others to walk two or three kilometers and finally arrived at the ferry. There were already two people there.

Because the river is quite wide, although the current is not very fast, it is still very tiring to cross it.

Therefore, only five or six people will cross the river at a time. Of course, if there is really no one, they will cross the river after a certain period of time, after all, there are still people who want to come over there!

At this time, Ah Sheng and the others had already been put into the space, so he was the only one who came.

As soon as he came over, the boatman took a look at him and asked, "Kid, which village are you from? You look unfamiliar."

Those who crossed the river were all from nearby villages. After a long time, they basically knew each other, but Li Jiayi was not from a nearby village, so of course he was a stranger.

"I'm from Lijia Village." Li Jiayi said with a smile.

"Lijia Village?" The boatman thought for a moment and said, "Oh! Is it Lijia Village on the other side?"

"Yes."

"Lijia Village is not within our range."

"I know, I'll pay."

Hearing this, the boatman smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it! You are a child, so you don't need to pay."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned. He didn't expect that the boatman would not take his money.

At this time, a woman carrying a basket nearby said, "There are only a few outsiders here in a year, and the boatman doesn't charge any money."

Li Jiayi then understood that it was not that he alone was not charged, but that none of them were charged.

But it's also true, as this woman said, there are only a few outsiders in a year, and it is estimated that you can't collect much money, so it's better not to collect it.

"Okay! Thank you, sir."

"You're welcome. Although Lijia Village is not within this range, it's not too far away and can be considered a neighboring village."

Just then, three more women came over carrying baskets.

Now is not the busy farming season, and these women should be visiting relatives, either going back to their parents' homes or coming back from their parents' homes.

Although they are two places separated by a river, one is Mentougou and the other is Changping, but the distance is close! It is normal to get married.

Besides, there is a ferry here. People on both sides of the river are probably very familiar with it. After so many years, there may be relatives everywhere.

"Get on board! Otherwise the people on the other side will be waiting anxiously." said the boatman.

There were six people on the boat, and Li Jiayi was the only man. No, he could not be considered a man, he could only be considered a boy.
