At nine o'clock in the morning, all the cars arrived.

Lin He counted, and there were seven or eight trucks delivering pork alone.

Liu Jin separated dozens of cars, divided them into five groups, and gave Lin He two sheets.

"You are responsible for the pork of the engineer regiment and the signal regiment later. ”

Lin He saw that it was the pork purchase order of the engineering regiment and the communication regiment this week, and the procurement plan was divided into three times, delivering meat every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and the total number of pork orders for the two regiments on Monday was 706 kilograms, and the pork ribs totaled 169 kilograms.

More meat, less ribs.

Huang Chunhua was anxious when she saw the list, "What should I do, where can I sell so much meat if I can't finish it?"

If it's easy to do in winter, you can't finish it on Monday and send it out on Wednesday, but June is the hottest time, and there is no refrigerator in the countryside these years, so how can the meat be stored for three days, and at most tomorrow will stink.

Lin He knew it in his heart, and said: "Don't worry, the ribs are not enough, there is a difference of more than seventy catties, use the meat as ribs, so that it will be more than forty catties, and the rest will be cheaper to go back and sell it for two yuan per catty." ”

Huang Chunhua hesitated: "This can't work, right?"

Lin He was full of confidence: "It's not difficult to speak as a soldier, look at me, don't worry." ”

How could Huang Chunhua not worry, looking at her son up and down, she suddenly felt that her son was a little different, since he came back from the exam, he had changed, almost every day, as if he had grown up overnight.

The convoy arrived at the engineer regiment first, and everyone began to deliver the goods, and some soldiers took the list to count the quantity.

Lin He didn't wait for his mother to do it, so he quickly divided the meat into the various companies that came to receive the meat, saying that a pound of meat is a pound of meat, and the error of a knife will not exceed 50 grams.

Without an electronic scale, weighing becomes a force job.

Lin He quickly sweated and his clothes were soaked.

"Squad leader, there aren't many ribs, can you give you meat?"

If you have something to talk to, it doesn't matter if you nod your head.

There are also special ones, Lin He weighed the ribs.

Huang Chunhua laid her hand next to her, and felt more and more that her son had grown up, but this change came too suddenly, which made her a little uncomfortable for a while, especially when her son would do the work of a butcher, which surprised her.

There are seven cars in five groups, chickens, ducks, fish, eggs, cattle, mutton, pork, vegetables, melons and fruits.

Although it is a bit troublesome to weigh the fat meat, it is much faster than the fat cabbage.

A large cart full of vegetables, I'm afraid there are not three tons, and there are dozens of categories, green onions, radishes, potatoes or something to be the same name, you can't get up if you want to, and don't let you fly solo, others can only wait after sending the goods.

After waiting for an hour, the vegetables were finally delivered.

When they arrived at the communication group, the others didn't wait for anything else and left directly.

Lin He didn't wait, and drove the tractor and his mother away.

Excluding the loss and the extra given, there are still almost forty catties of meat left.

When he returned to the village, Huang Chunhua went to the door one by one, two yuan and five yuan per catty, and sold the remaining meat for seventy-seven eighty-eight yuan, and got ninety-five yuan, leaving less than two catties to eat at home.

If you take the book and calculate it, you can earn more than 680 yuan.

Huang Chunhua was excited for a long time, and soon became worried again: "I have to send three times a week, two pigs at a time, and I get six pigs a week, more than 4,000 yuan, what if I don't give money." ”

Lin He said: "I have already asked, other meat deliveries and chicken and egg deliveries are the same as us, subcontracted from Li Yinglong, and the settlement is generally half a month, and the longest is not more than a month, so don't worry about this." ”

Huang Chunhua said: "Even if you are not afraid of defaulting on the debt, but a pig costs more than 4,000 yuan a Saturday, where can you get the money to buy a pig." ”

Lin He asked, "How much money does our family have in total?"

Huang Chunhua glared and said, "Where there is money, it is more than two thousand yuan." ”

Lin He was also worried, as the old saying goes, money is not everything, but no money is everything.

Mom may still have some money, but it will certainly not be much, he knows the situation at home, a few years ago, my father did not earn money, just these two years the situation is better, the year before last bought a motorcycle, last year bought a tractor, the family is at most a few thousand yuan.

Huang Chunhua frowned, the excitement of earning money had long since disappeared.

Rural women, who have been digging in the fields for half their lives, have long been poor and afraid, have never done business, it is normal to be afraid of losing money, and it is normal to retreat when encountering some difficulties, otherwise they would have made a fortune long ago.

Lin He said: "It's really not okay to owe it first, and then give the pig money when you get the money." ”

Huang Chunhua couldn't open her mouth, and said a little angrily: "Then you go and ask whose pig you owe." ”

Lin He knew that his mother couldn't count on it, so he could only bite the bullet and go by himself.

Sure enough, when the pigs in the village heard that they were going to owe money, they first asked their mother if they knew, Lin He repeatedly assured them, but they still didn't believe it, and ran to the house to ask in person, until Huang Chunhua nodded, and then agreed to owe money.

It's all from a village, in fact, there is nothing to owe money, the key is to nod the head of the house.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin He is still just a hairy boy, and he can't do big things if he doesn't have a family.

In the middle of the night on Tuesday, two pigs were delivered.

The first Lin Hai slaughtered, the second Lin He was ready to do it himself, Lin Haite was surprised: "You can kill a pig?"

Lin He said: "What's so difficult about killing a pig, look at me." ”

Lin Hai gave him the knife and prepared to watch a good show.

As a result, the show didn't work, killing a pig is really not difficult for Lin He, he sent beef and mutton to the army back then, he didn't kill less livestock, he didn't have money to hire people at the beginning, he did everything by himself, how could he not kill livestock.

It was past five o'clock in the morning when the meat was loaded into the car.

Lin He slept for two hours, and set off with his mother at seven o'clock.

Fat meat is not an easy job, the old-fashioned rod scale weighing is too troublesome, a person is too busy, Lin He wants to buy an electronic scale, but this year I don't know where to sell an electronic scale.

When I got home after delivering the meat, it was already one o'clock at noon.

Lin He and his mother were tired and paralyzed, and they slept without eating.

At dinner, Huang Chunhua frowned: "The field is about to be harvested, what can I do?"

Lin He said: "Hire someone." ”

Huang Chunhua glared: "Who is hired without any money?"

Lin Hedao: "My mother, alas, the account can't be calculated like this, the money hasn't been taken yet, but it doesn't mean that it hasn't been earned, this has earned more than 1,200 yuan twice, and you can earn 1,800 yuan three times a week, and when you harvest the land next month, how can you do it without hiring people?"

Huang Chunhua still couldn't turn the corner, and hired people to work and pay people's wages, which she never thought about.

But one person can't be busy, how can he do it without hiring someone?

The autumn harvest is coming soon, so you can't afford not to send meat, right?

Although crops are the lifeblood of farmers, 1,800 yuan a week, more than 7,000 yuan a month, and the small workers on the construction site can't earn so much money a year, so how can they not do it?

After thinking for a long time, Huang Chunhua said: "Let's talk about it when the fields are harvested!"

Lin He nodded, there was almost a month left before the wheat was harvested, and he was indeed not in a hurry.

I watched the pigs on Thursday, and this time I saw the pigs of the third grandfather's house.

The third grandfather asked Lin He: "How many pieces of meat do you give to the troops?"

Lin He said, "Two pieces." ”

The third master said: "The meat sold outside is four yuan, what money do you make for two yuan?"

Lin He said: "The troops want a lot, and I can't make money for meat, as long as I don't lose money, I can earn ribs." ”

The third master asked, "How much do you give my pigs?"

Lin He said, "Five hundred!"

The third master was not happy, glared and said, "You give eight hundred for other people's pigs, and you give five hundred for mine?"

Lin He said: "People's pigs are big, they can kill more than 400 catties of meat, the third master, your pig is small, and you can't kill 300 catties of meat, I estimate that it is about 240 catties, and 500 estimates that I can't even earn ribs, so I can't let me lose money!"

The third master was a little angry and said, "It's not for sale." ”

Lin He said: "Then the third master, you see, five hundred and fifty percent?"

The third master rolled his eyes and said, "I don't sell anything, I'll feed myself until the New Year." ”

Lin He said hello with a smile, said hello to the third grandmother and left.

When I went home and told my mother, Huang Chunhua snorted angrily and said: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it, it's all habitual, and you always want to take advantage of others." Now who doesn't raise pigs, how can it be so easy to sell, I have fed pigs for more than a year, and the pig dealers only sold seven hundred and five. The pig is only ten months old, and the dealer gives him a maximum of 500 ceilings, and he still wants 800? ”

Lin He didn't say anything, some words could only be kept in his heart, and it was not good to say them.

There are nearly 200 households in Xigou Village, almost ninety percent of the families raise pigs, and there are nearly 200 pigs in a family.

The meat ordered on Friday was not much, more than 600 catties, and more than 100 catties of ribs, so you can't kill too big a pig.

Lin He ran seven or eight houses, and finally picked two pigs that were fed for a year last year, and they could kill almost 300 catties.

After slaughtering the pig on Thursday night, the meat was 698 catties, and the ribs were not much different from the big pigs, 92 catties.

……

In July, the wheat in the fields is golden, and the harvest season is approaching.

Huang Chunhua goes down to the ground every day to go around, for fear of delaying the autumn harvest.

After sending meat to the troops for two weeks, he didn't get a dime, not only Lin He was anxious, but the villagers who owed the money to him on credit couldn't sit still, and someone had already come to the door to ask when the money would be paid.

Huang Chunhua was anxious and urged Lin He to ask for money.

I haven't owed anyone money for half my life, and it's not a pleasant thing to be called on someone's door.

Although people only came to ask, Huang Chunhua was still very stressed.

Lin He didn't go to Li Yinglong, when he sent meat on Monday, he inquired with the soldiers, and the troops settled the bill, except for last week's account, all the previous ones were settled, and they inquired with other suppliers, and they all said that Li Yinglong hadn't paid the money yet.

I made a call to Li Yinglong, but I hit a nail.

"It's only a few monkey money, a fart!"

Li Yinglong was socializing, and hung up the phone after scolding.

Lin He is so angry, they all say that there are two dilemmas in this era, one is difficult to work, and the other is difficult to pay. He didn't feel anything before, but now he can feel it himself, but he can't help it, no matter how angry he is, he has to endure it.

patiently finished delivering Friday's meat, and finally waited for Liu Jin's call.

Lin He didn't care about resting, threw the tractor into the yard, rode a motorcycle and went to Qingyang.
