Chapter 14: Weighing Over
Liu Xiaoming got up very early today, and after eating a little casually at home, he came to the warehouse. The pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info cleaned up the inside, and carefully planned the little space left in it.
After everything was done, Liu Xiaoming came to the house, sat by the fire and waited. Liu Xiaoming knew that today was a busy day, and he was prepared. However, it is still too early at this time.
took out his brick-like Changhong mobile phone and opened the buckle chat. Looking at the few online friends inside, Liu Xiaoming smiled bitterly. Then, click on the option to add friends, and skillfully enter a string of numbers on it and click to search. A page pops up with a list of nicknames displayed.
'Where is the distance. ’
Seeing this familiar nickname that was like his soul, Liu Xiaoming's breathing couldn't help but become short.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing now, you must still be sleeping lazily like a child."
The finger hesitated on the case for a while, as if confused. However, after a while, Liu Xiaoming's eyes were determined to come first.
'Add friends.' ’
Pressing the button, Liu Xiaoming couldn't help but wait for his breath quickly. However, there was still no news for a long time.
"What's going on, why hasn't it been passed yet."
Liu Xiaoming looked at the phone screen in distress, his face full of frustration.
"Oh, Liu Xiaoming, you are stupid, it's still so early, Xiaoyu must not have gotten up yet."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoming patted his head. At this moment, a sharp car horn sounded.
"Duh... Honk.. Doodle. ”
Voices are heard. Liu Xiaoming hurriedly went out.
"Xiao Liu, we're bringing you corn."
Liu Xiaoming went out to take a closer look, and saw Gao Changfu and several men sitting on a blue Dongfeng truck, and Gao Changfu was shouting Liu Xiaoming loudly. Underneath them were bags of corn in nylon pockets, a cart full of them.
"Oh, it's Uncle Gao, come down quickly, I didn't expect you to come so early."
Hearing this, Gao Changfu and a few people who came together jumped out of the car.
"Hahaha, we have to sell it out quickly, there are still guys to do at home, it's the season to plant potatoes, we can't delay."
Liu Xiaoming also understood, so he hurriedly beckoned them over.
"Xiao Liu, we are here from several of us."
Liu Xiaoming looked at the corn in the car, and naturally knew about it with about 10,000 catties.
"Okay, you all know who you are, don't get confused later."
Hearing this, Gao Changfu laughed and said, "Don't worry, we have all made marks, and we won't get confused." ”
When Liu Xiaoming heard this, he was no longer worried.
"Okay, you unload him and put it at the door of the warehouse first, and we'll weigh him later."
Hearing this, Gao Changfu and the others stopped dragging their feet, and immediately beckoned a few people who came with them to start unloading the car.
"That's right, Uncle Gao. Didn't Uncle Xia's family send it over today, when will he come over? ”
"Oh!! Lao Xia, he should come over in a while, his family has a lot of corn, so he specially called a car. ”
When Liu Xiaoming heard this, he was also relieved.
"Cheng, then let's unload it quickly."
Men in the countryside have been carrying their shoulders since they were children, so they have strength. No, it didn't take long for the corn on the cart to be unloaded by them. Looking at the round pockets piled up all over the ground, Liu Xiaoming's heart was also excited.
"Uncle Gao, you can bring the scales here."
"Bring it."
"Yes, yes...."
"Okay, take a break and smoke a cigarette first, and then we'll go through the scales."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoming took out the cigarette on his body and gave everyone a cigarette. Gao Changfu didn't arrive this morning like yesterday, took Liu Xiaoming's cigarette and began to smoke. After a minute or two, everyone was in good spirits.
"Uncle Gao, take out the scales, let's finish it quickly, you can go home."
"Okay."
After that, Gao Changfu turned around and walked to the cab of the truck and took out a pole scale commonly used in rural areas. In his hand, he also holds a long nylon rope.
"Zhou Wen, Wu Lao Er will come over to help after he finishes drawing."
It seems that this Gao Changfu still has a certain prestige in Zhangjiagou, and when the words fell, the two men who were squatting on the ground and glancing immediately came over to help.
"Xiao Liu, I'll leave this matter of weighing to you, Uncle Gao, just remember it."
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoming did not hesitate. First, he didn't understand how the scale was used. What's more, Liu Xiaoming also believes in these fellows.
"Okay, Uncle Gao is still good to me and doesn't let me do manual work."
"Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Gao Changfu and these people who came over together laughed and felt that this little boss was not bad. After laughing, everyone began to weigh corn in full swing.
"This is my family, all from the first to the twenty-fifth, so let's weigh mine first."
It was Zhou Wen who spoke, a middle-aged man who was a little sleek and a little greedy for money. Hearing this, Gao Changfu and others also had no objection. Set up a rope on the ground and carry four large bags of corn on it. Twist the rope a few times, and a rural person will be able to tie the live buckle.
Find a wooden stick with the thickness of the bowl and thread it through the left rope.
"Hey..."
Gao Changfu grasped the large scale in his hand, and skillfully pulled a few times, forming a perfect balance between the scale rod and the weighing stone.
"Two hundred and forty pounds, carry it in and put it away."
Seeing that Gao Changfu was helping to command, Liu Xiaoming hurriedly memorized the weight of each scale. The large scales in the countryside are all scales used to sell pigs, and they can weigh up to 350 catties.
"Alright, go ahead."
"Two hundred and thirty pounds."
"Three hundred pounds." .....
"Okay, the last scale is two hundred and eighteen pounds."
It didn't take long for all the Wen family's twenty-five bags of corn to be weighed this week. After Liu Xiaoming memorized the last scale, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and began to calculate, and after calculating twice to confirm that it was correct, Liu Xiaoming said: "Uncle Zhou, your family has a total of 2,162 catties, you can calculate it yourself." ”
After speaking. Liu Xiaoming handed the record book in his hand to Zhou Wen and asked him to check it himself. Zhou Wen took a careful look at the notebook in his hand, and took Liu Xiaoming's pen and counted it carefully.
"Oh, where could Boss Liu be wrong, it's two thousand one hundred and sixty-two pounds."
After speaking, he returned the notebook in his hand to Liu Xiaoming. Gao Changfu saw that the two of them had confirmed, so he said to everyone: "Okay, continue." This time, I'll weigh Wu Lao Er's family first, do you look at the scales yourself or I will come. ”
Hearing this, a thin middle-aged man who had been helping to carry the scales just now smiled honestly and said, "Brother Gao, just you, I believe in you." ”
When Gao Changfu heard this, he said with a smile: "Okay, let's start now." ”
++++
"Uncle Wu, your family's total is two thousand eight hundred and ninety-three catties."
"Okay, I believe Boss Liu."
"Uncle Chen, your family's is 3,260 catties."
"Boss Liu, I'll do the math myself."
"Okay, you do the math."
++
"Uncle Gao, your family's corn is two thousand four hundred catties in total."
While keeping accounts, Liu Xiaoming instructed these uncles to carry the corn into his designated place.
"Okay, that's it."
Liu Xiaoming's sword had no intention of checking, but he still handed the notebook in his hand to Gao Changfu. Gao Changfu didn't pick up the notebook in Liu Xiaoming's hand, but just smiled awkwardly and said: "Ahem, this Xiao Liu, your Uncle Gao can't read, you can say as much as you want." ”
"Then what's the matter, this business is business, trust is trust, I'll ask Uncle Zhou to check it for you."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoming was about to hand the notebook in his hand to Zhou Wen who was leisurely next to him. Seeing this, Gao Changfu hurriedly stopped Liu Xiaoming.
"Xiao Liu, no need, in fact, most of us have weighed ourselves at home, so it won't be wrong."
Liu Xiaoming glanced at Gao Changfu in surprise, only to see that the other party's face was a little embarrassed. smiled understandingly, and Liu Xiaoming withdrew his outstretched hand.
"Okay, in that case, I'll calculate the price for everyone."
After speaking, Liu Xiaoming began to calculate.
