Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 184 Being followed

Nowadays, Luo Cheng rarely stays in town for five consecutive days, but the attendance form is still filled out for five days each time. In order to be delayed for a day or two due to temporary work, the factory's system requires reporting no matter how many days you are away from work. Whether it is a small deputy team leader like Luo Cheng, or a director or factory director.

Only after reporting, if someone wants to look for you and finds you are not there, go ask the person in the Human Resources Department. You can find out what you are going to do and when you will probably be back.

Today Luo Cheng had to stay up until twelve o'clock again. He had to bring eggs from the future era, and there were also live chickens. As for chickens, a supplier will send two hundred of them during the day the next day in the future era. Live chickens in the feed chicken market sell for about eight yuan per pound. If a chicken is tampered with on the scale, it costs fifty or sixty yuan.

But feed chickens in the wholesale market cost about six yuan, and a hen weighs about five pounds, which is an average of thirty yuan. And Luo Cheng asked for 200 chickens at a time, which was not a one-time purchase. He often bought dozens or hundreds of chickens without any debt, and they gave Luo Cheng a little cheaper than the wholesale market price. Now he sells 200 chickens to Luo Cheng for 5.5 yuan per pound, which is about 5,000 to 6,000 yuan.

The chicken seller also delivered the chickens to his door. At first, he even wanted to enthusiastically provide a batch of wire cages to Luo Cheng, but not to Luo Cheng. It was lent to Luo Cheng to house the chickens, but Luo Cheng himself provided a large number of cages made of bamboo sheets, so he did not need the wire cages of his boss. Even though a wire cage is much easier to open and close than a bamboo cage, it is also lighter in weight.

But being able to settle cash accounts and using bamboo cages to store chickens and ducks is a hassle, so the bosses are happy and don't dare to complain.

On the first day back in town, everyone came here to have dinner at noon, and everyone basically knew about Luo Cheng's return to town. Luo Cheng didn't have to go anywhere in the afternoon. He just listened to everyone's chatter and reports all afternoon, and his time was gone.

They cooked white porridge at noon. As long as Luo Cheng was in town, Luo Yan and his mother basically wouldn't make any coarse grains. Luo Cheng is a promising person and he doesn't want to eat rough food. Everyone takes it for granted. And if you drink white porridge, even if it’s extravagant, you won’t need much rice.

In addition to rice porridge, there are also steamed buns and other things prepared for other people. Luo Cheng can now drink two bowls of porridge and eat some side dishes, but others can't. They also need some steamed buns to cushion their stomachs.

The lunch dish is scrambled eggs with chili and pickled dried radish.

"Ningzi, now that we can't even eat the cornbread in the cafeteria, why don't we arrange a job for Qiangzi and your sister-in-law? I think you should have two more people here to help, even if you ask Qiangzi Let me run errands for you.”

"Mom, didn't I tell you last time, these eels, loaches and so on, when the weather gets cold, and the rice in the fields is ripe and there is no more irrigation water, they are all stuck in the soil in the holes and cannot come out. At that time, I was also here There is no work. If no one from the family in the team goes to work, I'm afraid the team will target you if you don't go back here until there is no more work. I didn't see my eldest sister, so I asked my brother-in-law and her father-in-law to take turns working in the fields. ."

"Our team is from the same village, why don't they allow our own people to help their families with work? They don't earn work points, and they will get more points during this autumn harvest. As you might guess, just because your family members help your family members Treat us like that if you don’t work in the team for two months.”

"Okay, okay, just ask them to follow dad to the pond to help. It's okay that I'm overthinking it. I'll be fine in less than two months. For something that can't be done in less than two months, all I need is this Just a little bit."

Luo Cheng responded a little irritably. This is not the first time his mother has said this. Last time Luo Cheng talked about his worries. But I didn't expect that this didn't stop for long, and I still wanted to come here to do it easily. We also talk about the canteen. Now that rice has been planted, the commune is no longer busy with production matters. Now it is just clearing land and growing some vegetables. The canteen is now very clear every day. A steamed bun at noon, and very thin whole grains in the morning and evening.

But in fact, Luo Yan had already told Luo Cheng that although Luo Qiang and his sister-in-law did not work at Luo Cheng's place, her mother secretly brought some food back home every day. Even when Luo Cheng returned to the city, he finished eating at the canteen at noon and came here to eat something directly. In the evening, I would just come over and eat.

Luo Cheng doesn't care about the food, but he still has to come here after eating. The money given here is not as much as before, and it is calculated on a monthly basis. For this little money, if there is a gap between you and the team, even if you work in the team, you will still suffer.

Of course, it may be that Luo Cheng is overthinking, as his mother said, he is a villager. What's wrong with my family members helping their son with something? If Luo Cheng's side is in poor condition, helping with food and earning the same as in the team. Just to help Luo Cheng, it might be nothing.

But with the habits in rural areas, many people can't stand the good life. When there is a shortage, there is no shortage of people. This kind of thing often happens in rural areas. What's more, let alone the village, the people Luo Cheng is taking care of now all have this mentality. Luo Cheng arranged something for his sister. The parents thought that one was married and the other was going to get married sooner or later. Why not arrange it for Qiangzi and the others? Instead, arrange it for Luo Lan and Luo Yan.

It's the same with Accountant Zhao's daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law is helping Luo Cheng, but the second daughter-in-law has no errands and is also making trouble behind the scenes. Now I am assigned to take charge of things where chickens are raised.

But Luo Cheng's family is different from his father-in-law's. Accountant Zhao at least has the ability to make proper arrangements for his two sons. One helps in the commune, and the other manages the area where the production team raises pigs. Even without Luo Cheng, the family there wouldn't have to work in the fields to earn work points.

Here, Luo Cheng can actually do this, but even if he has selfish motives, he is still a little angry at being favored since he was a child.

Luo Cheng's mother was naturally very happy when she heard that he had promised his eldest son and daughter-in-law to help at the pond. Now the salary Luo Cheng gives everyone as a helper is fifteen yuan a month, which is definitely not comparable to those in formal jobs, and there are even no benefits. But in addition to the hidden benefit of better food than in the canteen, Luo Cheng also has another benefit: the money Luo Cheng earns allows him to bring some things to help. Although you can't buy whatever you want, things that you can't buy without tickets are not particularly in demand, so Luo Cheng can still get some.

In the afternoon, we walked around the commune and went to the pond to see the situation. I checked the approximate amount with Zhao Qian's sister-in-law and asked the person who would deliver the eels and loaches later. Except for those weighing more than one kilogram, they were classified and thrown into the corresponding ponds. The rest were transported to the intersection today and set up there. A temporary wooden house serves as an unloading point.

At night, in order to stay up until twelve o'clock, Luo Cheng deliberately stayed up late chatting at Lao Zhang's house next door. Cigarettes with cigarette holders were often dispensed, but even so, they only disturbed me until after nine o'clock. The three younger children of Lao Zhang's family all went to bed, and Luo Cheng was embarrassed to stay at Lao Zhang's house.

But Luo Cheng also has a way to fight drowsiness. Apply cooling oil on his temples and nose, which is really refreshing. And although the cigarette is fake and not inhaled into the lungs, the nose will inhale a little when breathing, which also has a slight lifting effect.

After staying up until almost twelve o'clock, Luo Cheng walked towards the main road. Instead of carrying a kerosene lamp, he held a flashlight. Not many people have flashlights at home these days, they are considered household appliances.

"That's Luo Cheng, right? It's so fucking amazing. It's been a month or two, and there have been so many chickens, ducks, eggs, etc. Deliveries come here at night, and no one has seen the delivery. I always feel like there's What kind of ulterior secrets are there? If there is really something fishy about it, it will become rich if you get the handle."

"It's too dark to see clearly, but who else could he be who came here so late? He must be waiting for a delivery vehicle. It's really strange. It's so dark and the delivery vehicle doesn't even Let’s drive.”

"Wait, if there is nothing fishy, ​​forget it. If we find something, we will have a good life."

It was late at night, and Luo Cheng didn't pay attention to anything happening on the other side of the road. There was also a small forest on the other side. Moreover, it was so dark that if there was even the slightest movement, I wouldn't think about someone squatting there. I would at most suspect that there was some movement caused by an animal.

The night was very bright and the sky was filled with stars.

Luo Cheng lit another cigarette, it was almost time, but in the future era, he didn't prepare anything at twelve o'clock. Now he stays up until twelve o'clock so that he can bring things over at twelve o'clock in the future. If Luo Cheng wakes up in the future this time, he will definitely sleep in the bed with Liu Xiaofei.

The time was getting closer and closer to twelve o'clock. Feeling that the drowsiness was caused by external forces, Luo Cheng gave up resistance very easily.

~~

I'm a little sleepy. I practiced driving with Liu Xiaofei yesterday and got a little carried away.

Outside the quilt, the scene you see now will be very normal, that is, a man and a woman sleeping, with the woman's head resting on the man's shoulder. But if the quilt is lifted, it will be a very unsightly scene.

Under the quilt, Luo Cheng gradually moved away the part of Liu Xiaofei's body that was pressed against him. After the thighs on his body moved away, Luo Chengcai completely got off his body. Liu Xiaofei no longer has to get up early, but Luo Cheng has to go to the store in the mall to take care of him. But now that the business there is better, Liu Xiaofei is also helping to contact the cashier.

But there were only a few cousins ​​she could keep in touch with on a regular basis, plus there were some she had contacted before who were unwilling to come. Because she doesn’t have to travel so far, the local cashier girl there can also earn two to three thousand. And even though they are cashiers, some people still arrogantly differentiate their professions.

They are all cashiers. If one is selling milk tea, the other is selling eels. Most girls will choose to work as cashiers in milk tea shops, but only those who have actually come to Liu Xiaofei know how great it is to come here.

I have a four-hour shift in the morning, but I am actually busy from 7 to 9 o'clock. And Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei don't care what time they go to work. After nine o'clock, they can get off work early and play in the old street. I only have to work for a little over two hours in the afternoon, so I can just take turns to go alone.

The salary is 3,000 yuan, and with good cooperation, each person actually works half a day every half month. Moreover, Liu Xiaofei often purchases fruits, drinks and snacks, and they eat them for free every day.

There is no one to look after me at work, the working hours are not long, and food and accommodation are included. Girls don’t have very high requirements for making money, so they don’t have the slightest idea of ​​what they don’t want to do.

Luo Cheng simply washed up and went out. At the store, the helper he hired also had a key. That couple is very good. They go to the shop before half past six every day. If customers want to buy something, they can sell it even if Luo Cheng is not around. But now, regardless of trust or not, the three stores will inventory the goods every day and check whether the income is correct.

Stores all use cash registers with computerized invoicing. If there are any wrong receipts during the day, you can keep them and settle them with one click when you get off work in the afternoon. The computer will automatically calculate the day's income. Even the size and model of eel and loach can be found out by writing the serial number and taking the settlement form to find out how many kilograms of eels were sold for twenty yuan a kilogram and how many kilograms were sold for twenty-five yuan a kilogram in a day.

Although a cash register computer costs several thousand, it is really convenient.

Luo Cheng went to the shop and bought some breakfast, fried buns with soy milk and the like. I also brought some to the helper and his wife. At around nine o'clock in the morning, the delivery boy who had previously contacted Luo Cheng and lived in the community came here to look for him. Luo Cheng delivered goods yesterday. He now delivers goods once every two days. The main reason is that except for Renmin Middle Road, many restaurants in other places are not close to each other. In addition, the same restaurant has to wait several days for goods to be delivered once. Delivery once every two days is actually manageable.

But now there is someone who specializes in delivering for him. Luo Cheng gave all the delivery addresses to the delivery boy, even if he didn't need delivery today. I also gave all the addresses to the delivery boy, who asked for the addresses on his own initiative. He will take the initiative to plan these addresses into routes and deliver them all the way in order, which can save time.

Luo Cheng's delivery stores do not accept credit. He does not do credit business. He gives the boy a payment code and collects the money when the goods arrive. If he does not pay, he will take the goods back. Anyway, in his own time, he had bought and sold things on the black market, and he had never heard of anyone buying something without giving him money first. Luo Cheng never does anything like monthly settlements.

Luo Cheng would weigh the quantity of goods he wanted first, and he didn't care if he stopped weighing the goods there. Anyway, he wouldn't cheat on the weight. It was also the first time for Luo Cheng to try to ask others to help deliver the goods. Luo Cheng was not sure how effective it would be.

After the arrangements were made, Luo Cheng went home and left it to the helper and his wife to take care of him and put him at ease. Still the same as yesterday, I went home to rest and eat, and then went to the warehouse after lunch break. Today I contacted a good person to send chickens and ducks. Most of them are chickens. Ducks are more expensive, but I also got a small amount of ducks.

Ducks are more expensive than chickens, and feeding them also requires feed. But in some places, chefs can cook duck and chicken dishes with different special flavors when entertaining leading cadres and so on. Therefore, some communes also want ducks, and ducks are also in demand in the black market. Black Niu also said that it would be better to ship some ducks by the way.
