Chapter 136: Selling Watermelons
Uncle and grandfather drank soup, and grandma told him about her plans. "Brother, I sold monkeys some time ago and met the leaders of several factories. I gave them watermelons from our village, and they all said they were delicious.
This time, I picked more than 100,000 catties, but it was not easy to sell. I'll look for them, if we can treat our watermelons as welfare, there are thousands of workers in the city, and one or two will get more than 100,000 catties. ”
When my uncle and grandfather heard this, they didn't eat anymore. "Xiuqin, what you said is okay, they can still send watermelons?"
"Yes, the factory sends things every month, everything, and eggs. Grandma flickered.
"I know that in the past, the union issued gloves, masks, and soap, and those were all labor protection supplies. Now that there are so many things distributed, it is no wonder that they are all vying to go to the city to become workers. "It turns out that my uncle and grandfather know more than my grandmother, and everything my grandmother knows is what Yuyu said.
"Okay, you go and try it, don't be embarrassed if you can't sell it, we have to pull it to the city to sell, I'll go talk to them." Uncle and grandfather said and walked out. Uncle and grandmother pulled him: "I'll go again after eating, it's not bad for this meeting." ”
"Brother, you eat first, and after eating, find someone to load the car overnight, and strive to make a few more trips, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." While the watermelon is fresh, try to finish it in two days. ”
Youyou is very powerless to listen to, obviously you can put it into the space now, and you have to pull it into the city, tossing back and forth.
At dawn the next day, before five o'clock, Yoyo was carried by his grandmother and entered the city on a tractor carrying watermelons.
The people who came to the county seat this time were accountant Han Daowei and Jiege's fourth brother Han Zhijie. Thirty kilometers from Hantun to the county seat, pulling a cart of watermelons, he ran slowly, that is, at a speed of twenty per hour, and it was almost half past six to the county seat.
After entering Dongguan, there is a private breakfast stall on the side of the road. Grandma asked my uncle to stop and asked for noodles and spicy soup for them to eat. Tell them to find someone first, and they take Yoyo away.
The two took a tricycle and went to the First Restaurant for breakfast first. When they had eaten and drunk enough, they went back to find their uncle.
They had already finished eating, and the remaining few noodles were wrapped in paper. When the patriotic uncle saw them, he hurriedly said, "Aunt, you sit down to eat first, and the party will be cold." ”
"I ate just now, are you full, let's leave when you're full, I'll tell someone okay. ”
Grandma led them to their own yard. Walking in the back street, there are few people on the street, and it is very clean.
Grandma opened the back door and let them drive the car directly into the backyard. "Gao Gaojuni" jumped out of the car, looked around the courtyard, and was drunk by his uncle. "Be honest, this isn't our village, what's the matter. ”
"Gao Gaosan" stuck out his tongue, hurriedly stopped, and whispered: "Good girl, whose yard is this, it's really magnificent." ”
Grandma told them that they had contacted a factory, and asked them to unload the truck quickly, and unload it under the big tree in the yard, and the factory would pull it by themselves.
Gao Gaosan immediately said, "I saw a pound in the east room, and there were a lot of sacks, it turned out that this was a warehouse." ”
Youyou said in his heart: You say yes, this reason is very good, and it saves people from suspicion.
After unloading the watermelon, it was already time to hurry, and several people were so hot that their faces were covered with sweat, and they washed a handful on the faucet, and they hurried back.
Looking at the watermelons in one place, I thought: I'm afraid I'll have to live here for the next two days. So, a few robots were released to clean the yard and take out mosquitoes and flies.
The tractors of this era are all 12-horsepower Dongfang Red Brand, which can pull more than 5,000 catties of watermelons at a time. The two tractors in the village pulled tens of thousands of catties of watermelons in one trip.
Youyou collected a thousand catties of watermelons into the space, and there was still some left outside, and then he went into the space with his grandmother to make up for sleep. I got up at four o'clock in the morning, tossing and turning, and still sitting on the front side of the tractor, and my grandmother was tired enough.
The set alarm clock rang at eleven o'clock, and the mother woke up. I came out to pick up some tea, prepared tea, and put two large beds in the two rooms to the west, ready for my uncle and them to take a nap.
Then the two went straight to the restaurant and asked for five catties of braised pork, five portions of pork ribs stewed cucumbers, and ten catties of steamed buns, spending a total of twelve yuan and five cents and 10 catties of food stamps. After the meal was ready, the two took it home.
Just after twelve o'clock, the uncle and the others returned, their faces covered with sweat and dust. When I entered the hospital, I saw that there was less watermelon, and I asked happily, "Aunt, have the watermelons been sold?"
"Well, sell a thousand catties, there are still two more to want, let's eat in the first house, don't wait for the food to be cold. Grandma didn't let them unload the car, so she quickly washed her face and ate, and put the food in the hall.
It seemed that everyone was tired and hungry. Seeing the meal prepared by grandma, the uncle took the lead in eating, and Han Daowei said gratefully: "Aunt, you worry about selling watermelons to our village, and you are preparing food for us, thank you so much." ”
"You're not polite to our aunt, hurry up and eat, I have to rest after eating, I'm really tired." After the uncle finished speaking, he buried his head in eating, and the grandmother looked distressed, and discussed with them: "Or, you can rest, and I will find a few people to unload." ”
Han Daowei saw that everyone was really tired, "Auntie, are you looking for someone?"
"It's easy to find, the department store has a foot puller, just five cents per person. ”
"Okay, let's go find it after dinner, and let's all rest. Han Daowei's face was full of exhaustion, and it seemed that he was not tired.
After a while, the dishes on the table were all eaten, and there were only a few steamed buns left. "Gao Gaosan" wiped his mouth: "It's worth being tired, tossing back and forth these days, fishing and eating meat for the first time, it's really enjoyable." Grandma handed 400 yuan to Han Daowei.
He took it and ordered it, and handed over two ten-yuan ones, "Aunt, let you worry that you can't eat you anymore, you keep the food money." ”
Grandma pushed the money back, "I can afford a few meals, don't let it go back and forth, let's go find someone and let them all rest." ”
In just ten minutes, four people were found, and grandma watched the unloading of the car. Uncle and they slept in the house, and their snoring was so loud that they could be heard outside.
They slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then they woke up, and then went back to the village to pull watermelons, this time they collected 10,000 catties of space. At six o'clock in the afternoon, they came back, and they did not look for anyone else, and unloaded the car themselves.
Grandma went to the restaurant again and bought back ten catties of meat buns and six servings of egg soup. It was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon after unloading the car, and when they finished eating, grandma gave 500 yuan to Han Daowei.
"This is 10,000 catties of melons sold in the afternoon, 500 yuan. I'm not going back today, you guys get up early tomorrow and see if you can finish the day?"
"Aunt, I'll leave you to help and let them go back. Han Daowei packed the money and told him to go back first.
