Chapter 279: Departure
In order to help Hong Tao do a good job on this trip, Wang Jian showed his real skills, and he didn't care so much about his company's affairs. When the plan was notified to him and finalized, he began to collect information from all sides, and wrote down all the things that might have happened or happened during the long journey, and carefully recorded them.
Then select the equipment and items that need to be carried from these records, and finally form a purchase order, and then according to the importance marked on this purchase order, start to purchase step by step, and finally complete all the purchases today.
When Hong Tao pulled Old Gail and them back from the zoo clothing wholesale market, Wang Jian also drove his car to the gate of Boss Liu's small courtyard. However, he didn't take the initiative to call the door, just made a phone call to Hong Tao, and then waited in the car at the door.
Boss Liu can be regarded as an eye-opener today, when he heard the doorbell to open the courtyard door, Boss Liu almost closed the door again. There were a lot of people standing outside, but they couldn't see their upper bodies, and all kinds of bags and packages were blocked from the waist up, if it weren't for Harrison's half bearded face exposed in the gap in the middle, Boss Liu thought that the moving company had sent something to the wrong place.
"I said, where did you take them? What the hell is this! Look at these pants, they are not as good as Liu Gang bought on the side of the road? Boss Liu kicked away a pair of jeans that fell on the ground, and then asked Hong Tao.
"Zoo, they like that kind of wholesale market, you don't know it, they don't have this thing over there, even if they do, it's not so big, you see, how happy those three old men are, they made money today." Hong Tao struggled to put down a large bag on his shoulder, rubbed his waist and replied.
"Make money? Earn a P, buy a lot of garbage, and make money? Oops, this shirt is not as good as the uncle in my hometown who farmed. Look at this broken color, how did you pick it? Boss Liu still didn't understand, he took out the green checkered shirt from the big bag that Hong Tao put on the ground, and asked Hong Tao with a trembling hug.
"Hey, it's not you who wear it, you don't care if it looks good or not, they like it, by the way, my friend is also here, come." Wang Jian, this is Uncle Liu, the commander-in-chief of this expedition, this is Wang Jian. Hong Tao didn't have time to discuss these tattered cost-effective with Boss Liu, Wang Jian was standing at the gate of the courtyard with a large cardboard box, waiting for the owner to speak and put things down.
"Welcome, welcome, don't listen to him, what commander-in-chief. You see that several of us are old men, and we have to ask you boys to help us more on this trip, we just follow along, come and come. I'll put things here, sit down and have a cup of tea. Boss Liu just saw a stranger at the door at this time, and after listening to Hong Tao's introduction, he hurriedly pulled Wang Jian into the courtyard.
"Then I'll call Uncle Liu too. I still have something in the car outside, the door is unlocked, let's move in first. Wang Jian didn't drink tea or sit. He was still thinking about what's in the car.
"Liu Gang, you put down that hat for me first, bear thing, come here, help carry things." Boss Liu turned his head and looked around, and saw Liu Gang squatting on the ground, trying on a baseball cap.
I said...... Hong Tao...... That's a bit of a lot, right? Is it useful? We're really moving......" Boss Liu looked at Hong Tao, Wang Jian and Liu Gang, and moved back and forth twice, and there was a hill on the ground, and the things in the car hadn't been moved yet, so I couldn't help but be a little vague.
"Idle and busy, don't worry, it's not much at all, the four of us went to Yishui Lake, just stay for a few days, bring a lot more things than this, this time with your RV, gas canisters or something are also saved, or more." Hong Tao looked at it while moving, these are all useful, Wang Jian didn't buy it blindly.
"Nacheng, you're right, alas, come here...... After a while, you give the money to your friend, these things are mine, not a decimal, don't let people out. When Boss Liu heard Hong Tao's explanation, he also felt that it made sense, and then pulled Hong Tao aside and whispered.
"No, you don't care, I and him half of the money for these things, some things are not disposable, you can keep them in the future, even if you have a lot of money, you have to allow us to say that it is not, if you don't feel comfortable going out of the road, don't worry, he is not short of these money."
As soon as Hong Tao heard that Boss Liu was talking about this, he quickly stopped him, everyone went out to play together, and there must be money to contribute power, although there is no need to engage in the AA system so finely, but it can't be all paid by one person, it's boring to play like that, and there is a burden in my heart.
"Well, it makes sense, you command in a while, let's put these things in the car, don't forget to bring anything, meat, vegetables, spices, drinks, wine, rice and so on, I let Liu Gang buy it, and then you will arrange a piece, don't forget."
It seems that Boss Liu is personally involved in organizing such a big event for the first time, and he can't feel at ease anywhere, no wonder, according to his ability, it is estimated that people will arrange it first when he goes out to play, and then leave with a small bag, so he doesn't have to worry so much. But this kind of worry is also a pleasure, hands-on, hands-on, hands-on participation, not the same as waiting for others to arrange.
In the evening of the same day, the small courtyard of Boss Liu's house was full of people, Hong Tao registered all the things on two forms, classified them according to their use and quantity, and then everyone started to move them to the RV. A form is posted on each car, and Erin and Hong Tao are responsible for the final inventory, until everything is counted and loaded, and the preparation before departure is completed.
Since everyone is tired from the day, dinner is not eaten at home, and it is better to go to the nearest barbecue season. Considering that they had to get up early the next day and hurry, everyone didn't drink much, so they hurriedly finished dinner and went back to the small courtyard to drink tea and rest.
Hong Tao didn't go back to Boss Liu's house together, he took Erin back to his small courtyard, found Sam, told them about the rental of the house, and left him the phone numbers of Maren and Reicher, and asked the two of them to be responsible for collecting the room fee and signing the contract. In addition, Hong Tao also gave Sam the family's belongings, and asked him to help take care of the house.
Sam and his wife were not surprised at all that their daughter and their landlord were going to drive around China, Sam also introduced his experience of driving a broken car with Erin and her mother across most of the United States to Los Angeles to have a poor play, and his eyes flashed with a look of yearning.
Before dawn the next day, Hong Tao and Erin rushed to the small courtyard of Boss Liu's house, everyone had already packed up, and they were waiting to get in the car and leave. Before this, Liu Gang finally got the opportunity to show his hand, and Boss Liu asked him to make a hot noodle soup for everyone as breakfast.
At this time, Hong Tao realized what the noodles that Liu Gang said was, they were not noodles at all, they should be called noodles in Beijing, they were handmade with white noodles, as wide as a belt, and they were nested with eggs and various vegetable leaves.
At 5:30 a.m., the two RVs started successively, the front car was driven by Hong Tao, and Erin was substituted; The car in the back is driven by Liu Gang and replaced by Wang Jian; After adjusting the intercom systems of the two cars to confirm that they were correct, Hong Tao released the clutch and a little throttle, which was officially on the road.
The reason why I set off so early is not because I am in a hurry, but because I am afraid of traffic jams. As we all know, the morning rush hour in Beijing is very bad, and if you don't get out of the 4th ring road before 7:30, then the morning will be in vain.
Hong Tao has been familiar with these two RVs for two days, most of the functions and feel are a little bit, but when traveling, the first is safety, the second is enjoyment, in the case of not particularly need to rush, the speed is still not too fast.
"I want to go from the south to the north, I want to go from white to black, I want everyone to see me, but I don't know who I am......"
Accompanied by Cui Jian's song "Fake Monk", two RVs went west from the North Second Ring Road, from Zizhu Bridge to the North West Third Ring Road, and then went south, from Liuli Bridge to the west, into the G4 Beijing-Hong Kong Expressway, and smoothly rushed through Beijing.
