Volume 1、Now everything is to be started from the beginning 14、The first acquaintance of the fat man and the former fat man
may also feel Yi Shaofeng's impatient heart, this time the car drove very fast, and arrived at the provincial station in less than two hours. After getting out of the car, Dad was busy unloading the goose on the roof of the car.
Because they couldn't take the bus with two big cages, my uncle and father took turns to carry the burden and walked in the direction of the University of Technology. In order to save effort, the person carrying the burden will walk slightly faster than when he walks normally, so when he arrives at the place, Yi Shaofeng is also sweaty and tired enough.
When I arrived at the uncle's place, because I had called the uncle the day before, the uncle was busy early, did not go to the outskirts of the city with the car, and waited at home.
My father and uncle greeted my uncle.
"Uncle, I'm hungry", Yi Shaofeng said while holding his uncle's leg. The steamed buns I ate in the morning had already turned into poop in the trail just now.
"Then I'll cook first, it's just noon after you finish eating, Professor Ma has almost time, you can go over again", Uncle took my hand and said to the other two.
Dad was helping by the side, and Yi Shaofeng, with the help of his uncle, opened the snakeskin bag and took out two marinated goose gizzards from it and put them in a small bowl.
"Uncle, this one is reserved for you to drink and eat at night, this one is the best to drink", Yi Shaofeng gave the bowl to the uncle.
"Good, good", Uncle smiled happily.
After eating, it was already noon, although my father and uncle had seen Grandpa Ma, but every time they met, they felt a little cramped, so they didn't want to go very much.
The uncle carried the goose, and Yi Shaofeng walked in front. Walk to the University of Technology.
Pushing open the door, Yi Shaofeng took the lead and stepped in, and Grandpa Ma was resting.
"The eldest grandson is here, and the goose has brought it, right?" Grandpa Ma heard the sound of the door opening and came out of the back room.
"Grandpa, I'm here, I've brought 10 geese, and I've brought you something delicious." Yi Shaofeng said and took the snakeskin bag from the uncle who followed behind.
"It's a roasted goose, it's marinated, and it's not afraid of spoiling," the uncle explained.
"Oh, it's better for my eldest grandson, I know how to be filial to my grandfather", Grandpa Ma was not polite, so he took it.
"You pick up the things and follow me", Grandpa Ma took Yi Shaofeng's little hand and said to the uncle.
After walking almost 200 meters, I came to a two-story house. It was just past lunchtime, so there were still a lot of people in the cafeteria, and Grandpa Ma took it into a small door next to it.
"Less, less, you come out for a while", and then a chubby middle-aged man walked out.
"Professor Ma, you're here, is there something wrong?" said the director of the cafeteria, surnamed Yu.
"Look at the goose you picked, it's okay", Grandpa Ma pointed to the cage that the uncle was carrying.
"Okay, okay, who else is not at ease with what you brought with Professor Ma", although he said so, he still walked to the cage and squatted down, and he was able to squat down with such a big belly. The 10 geese are very energetic, so it is rare to be transported from afar, there are no dead geese and sick geese. Director Yu stood up with a smile on his face.
Yi Shaofeng looked at him inspecting the goose, and nodded slightly, although this person is a little fatter, he is very responsible compared to the current canteen staff of state-owned enterprises. Principled yet tactful.
Next, it came to the quotation link, and Grandpa Ma took the initiative to enter the operation room to avoid suspicion.
"The goose is in good condition, give you the scale, press 3 pieces and 8 pounds, it is feasible"? Director Yu treated the uncle, or naturally showed a little bit of arrogance as an insider in the system. In fact, this price is quite conscientious, and the current pork is only about 2 yuan per catty.
Originally, Yi Shaofeng thought that he would have to spend a lot of effort to fight for this link, but as a result, the director's offer made him have nothing to say. Before the uncle was silent, he took the initiative to say:
"Thank you, Uncle Yu, you are an expert, and the price you quote will definitely not make us farmers suffer, let alone make us suffer."
"Oh, you kid can talk, no wonder your grandpa Ma loves you so much", Director Yu patted Yi Shaofeng's head.
The price was negotiated, and when it was weighed, Yi Shaofeng let him leave 1 unweighed, ready to clean it up here, and prepare to cook a dish at night.
9 geese weighed, a total of 94 pounds, the average is weighed at home, each goose is less than two to three taels, should bring some rice, before the goose is fed, it will not be weighed. In the past, before the family sold pigs for weighing, they also fed the pigs to their heart's content.
The uncle helped the kitchen aunt to put the goose in a small courtyard wall on the edge of the backyard.
"Uncle Yu, Grandpa Ma is going to invite a few good friends to dinner in the evening, I want to make a dish, can I borrow a coal stove and a few spices", Yi Shaofeng said.
"No problem, you can take any seasonings yourself", Director Yu took Yi Shaofeng to the kitchen operation room, and came out to determine the time for the next goose delivery with the uncle next to him.
Uncle borrowed a knife from the kitchen and cleaned up the geese in the nearby sink.
Then he took the receipt from the kitchen, went to the finance room to settle the money, and took the things back to Grandpa Ma with Yi Shaofeng, who had already returned.
"The handover is clear"? Grandpa Ma asked the uncle,
"Clear," he said, placing the cleaned goose and spices at the door.
"What is this for, didn't you bring it cooked?" Grandpa Ma looked puzzled.
"Grandpa, I want to borrow your place to entertain you and Uncle Yu in the evening", Yi Shaofeng grabbed Grandpa Ma's hand and shook it.
"Do you know that this is a dove occupying a magpie's nest?" Grandpa Ma said with a smile.
"No, no, I'm borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, grandpa, you can call a friend over again at night, I'm afraid that Uncle Yu will not be comfortable eating with me."
"You are a ghost, you are afraid that others will say that you are too utilitarian. Don't worry about this, since you said that you borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, then I will offer a handful and invite a Buddha to come over. You are at Uncle Yu's, I will also go to invite, don't worry", the old man has become a fine man, and he really sees Yi Shaofeng's heart.
"Thank you grandpa, then I'll go back first, come back later, I'll burn that goose at night",
"Haha, I'm not going to burn anyway".
Saying goodbye to Grandpa Ma, he followed his uncle back to his residence, his father took a nap on the wire bed, and his uncle went to the agricultural machinery station to watch the tractor. When he saw the uncle and him returning, he also got up.
Uncle took out the money and gave it to Dad, Dad counted it, Yi Shaofeng went to the finance room with Uncle Yi, so he knew how much it was, stood next to him and said:
"I sent 9 geese today, a total of 94 catties, 3 yuan 8 catties, a total of 357 yuan 2 cents, a total of 12 geese, 127 catties, spent 317 yuan 5 cents, and earned 39 yuan 7 cents on the book, excluding the round-trip expenses between you and the aunt, you can also earn 19 yuan 7 cents, although this time I earned less, it was because there were 3 more geese to spend, and the profit of about 120 yuan was missing. This part of the expenditure can be counted as a one-time expense, so the profit is still very considerable. Dad, when we go back, we have to discuss how to make this business last for a long time."
Dad originally planned to test the waters, even if it didn't work, it would be a big deal to bring the goose back, and the loss would not be big. I didn't expect this road to really be opened. The expression on his face fully shows that his father can't suppress the excitement in his heart at this moment.
When it was almost 4 o'clock, my uncle also came back with a happy face, and the tractor in the provincial capital was more than 200 yuan cheaper than the one in the town, which made him feel that this time the provincial city was worth a thousand dollars. After a simple sum with Yi De'an, he decided to buy it tomorrow, and then drove back.
