Chapter 2 The first barrel of lard
(Thanks to the "Fengshen Yu Shao" big reward and monthly pass, the new book is uploaded to ask for attention and support!) )
Reselling lard is very profitable, which is something that the entire factory knows in later generations.
The population in the factory and mining areas is concentrated and eats commercial grain, and most of them have the habit of eating lard, so the price of lard in the factory area is generally above three or four yuan a catty.
However, in the area of the meat factory on the other side of the river, the lard is too much to sell, and in recent years, the rise of cold chain transportation, the meat factory has been affected by the decline in efficiency, and can only take lard to the farmers to pay off the debt.
In the past few years, almost every household in the surrounding villages has hoarded a large amount of lard, and the simple peasants do not understand the value of lard, and only think that this is a meat factory that is fooling them into defaulting on their debts.
This back and forth is nearly twenty times the difference.
The price difference was outrageous, but Li Lei jumped up in surprise: "What? Still...... Do you still want to cross the river? ”
In this era, public transportation was far less convenient than in later generations, and there was no ferry to cross the river near the factory, so you had to wait for the bus every morning, or ride your bicycle for several hours to cross the bridge in the city.
It is so troublesome, so in the eyes of many people, crossing the river is no different from going out of the province in later generations, and people who have never crossed the river in the factory area in their lives abound.
In addition, it has been rumored in the past that the public security situation on the Jiang side is not good, even if Li Lei heard that he wanted to cross the river, he was a little worried in his heart.
"You can earn at least a few dozen dollars for a round trip, and it's worth taking this risk." Zheng Nan said.
A few dozen yuan is not a small amount, and it is worth a month's salary in many small factories.
Only then did Li Lei grit his teeth and make up his mind: "Okay!" When I used to go to school, Xiaonan had a lot of ideas, so I listened to you. ”
After deciding on it, Li Lei was going to go to a neighbor to borrow a bicycle, but Zheng Nan pulled him to go to the roadside store to buy cigarettes first.
Li Lei was puzzled: "Xiao Nan, when did you learn to smoke?" Also buy so much. ”
Zheng Nan was helpless, no wonder Li Lei had been a small worker all his life.
"This is an artifact that opens our way!" Zheng Nan patted his pocket and told him.
Li Lei's eyes were blindfolded, and he really couldn't understand what medicine Zheng Nan was selling in this gourd, but then when he knocked on the neighbor's door to borrow a car, the other party refused to borrow it.
"Oops! It's not that I won't borrow you, I'm still going to ride to work, and I'll ride something from you. ”
But when Zheng Nan took out a pack of cigarettes and slapped it in the other party's hand, the old brother immediately smiled and said repeatedly: "You take the car and ride it, our neighbors should help each other!" ”
This hand-to-hand Sichuan dramatized his face, which made Li Lei stunned.
Li Lei couldn't understand what kind of magic Zheng Nan was, and Zheng Nan didn't explain, he just pulled him to ride on the road quickly, after all, it was such a long distance, Zheng Nan still wanted to rush home for dinner before dark!
Ride my beloved bike and he'll never get stuck in traffic!
Zheng Nan kicked out a tiger under his feet and rode happily on the road.
Off-road and cycling were originally Zheng Nan's two hobbies, but it is a pity that there are many cars in later generations, so you can only be cautious, which is like now there are almost no cars on this road, so that you can move as much as you want.
Didi!
"What's the little red guy walking on the road? To die? ”
The sanctions may be late but will not be absent, a black sedan honks its horn in the back in annoyance, rolls down the window, and a young man with a long face and pointed chin growls in a Ninghai accent.
Zheng Nan hurriedly let go to the side of the road, but the other party did not give up, and deliberately turned in front of Zheng Nan and them, not only raising a large amount of dust and sand, but also mocking loudly: "Garbage Township Wuning, eat sand, haha!" ”
"Gan! What the hell is this shit? Li Lei expressed his emotions very elegantly in the local dialect.
As a last resort, Zheng Nan and Li Lei stopped on the side of the road and waited for the dust and sand to clear.
"My grandson is running so fast, or I'll have to make a hole for him! I thought it would be great to drive a broken car. Li Lei was still indignant.
"Mitsubishi Lushen, the landing is about five or six hundred thousand, it's really amazing." Zheng Nan commented.
Li Lei was dumbfounded when he heard this price, the money of this car has caught up with the output value of his original factory for half a year, no wonder he is so arrogant.
"What's that, I believe that Xiao Nan will definitely be able to drive such a car in the future......"
Li Lei still had a hard mouth, but his tone was empty, obviously he didn't have such confidence himself.
Zheng Nan patted him on the shoulder: "It's true that Lu Shen is a luxury car, but he is notoriously messy, I don't want to drive a car and worry about breaking down on the road all day long." ”
"I see, then I wish him a smooth journey!" Li Lei came to the spirit again.
You're a bad boy!
"But we should also get cars." Zheng Nan pondered, after all, a barrel of lard can be transported by bicycle now, and the business will grow big in the future, what about dozens or hundreds of barrels at a time?
"By the way, Leizi, isn't your uncle in the factory transport team? Can I borrow a car? Zheng Nan suddenly remembered.
Li Lei shook his head and replied: "It's in the transport team, but I don't know if it's okay to borrow a car." ”
"I have to do it, I really can't sign a contract for the leader of the transport team, I can spend money to rent a car, I can't get a small truck, and a tricycle can also work!"
"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back." Li Lei looked up at the sun, "But let's hurry up and leave now, there are still more than ten kilometers!" ”
So they continued to set off, and after riding for more than ten kilometers, neither of them wanted to talk.
Rao is Zheng Nan as a cycling enthusiast, but firstly, this is not a professional bicycle, and secondly, the broken road that can raise sand now is far from being compared with the asphalt road of later generations.
This time I have to get a car to say anything!
Zheng Nan strengthened this belief!
After passing an intersection, Zheng Nan turned left, and Li Lei immediately shouted to Zheng Nan: "Xiao Nan is wrong, the meat factory is over there!" ”
Zheng Nan raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "Let's not go to the meat factory, we will collect it in the village." ”
"Why? Isn't lard made from meat factories? Li Lei didn't understand.
Zheng Nan propped himself on the ground with one foot, shook his head and told him: "But we don't know the people in the meat factory, and we don't know who to find to get the goods, so it is better to find the surrounding villagers, who have a lot of lard that the meat factory uses to pay off debts." ”
Zheng Nan didn't plan to take the regular meat factory from the beginning, and the enterprises in this era generally have no sense of service, especially the meat factory, which has good benefits in the past, and the most ordinary employees in it can go to the sky, just himself and Li Lei are so stunned in the past, not to mention the price, you can't even find a person in charge.
Zheng Nan's target was the backlog of lard in the surrounding countryside, which Zheng Nan knew in his previous life that those lard dealers had done.
When I came to the entrance of Qingshan Village, I saw a peasant uncle wearing a straw hat and carrying a hoe resting on the side of the road from a distance, Zheng Nan and Li Lei hurriedly greeted him: "Hello uncle, are you from Qingshan Village?" We would like to ask you if you know where to sell lard? ”
"We don't have any lard to sell, you can ask somewhere else." The old man replied without raising his head.
Li Lei looked anxiously: "How can there be no lard, isn't your Qingshan Village raising pigs for the meat factory?" ”
The old man was not happy: "If you raise pigs, you will have lard?" The heavy machinery factory has not seen the creation of a man-made satellite to the sky! ”
Zheng Nan asked Li Lei not to worry, and at the same time took out a pack of Yongfang cigarettes and slapped it in the old man's hand: "Uncle, we don't mean anything else, we are from the heavy machinery factory, you know that we eat oil over there, and the fuel ticket is not enough, so I don't want to come to the countryside to have a look." When the old man saw that you were a character like Bai Xiaosheng in the village, he must have known it. ”
The old man swept the cigarette in his hand, and then smiled: "It's better for you to listen to this doll, and if you want to change someone else, my old man is too lazy to take care of him." ”
"Come with me into the village, I have quite a few at home."
The old man got up and took Zheng Nan and Li Lei into the village, and came to a new brick house along the ridge, and the old man and his wife were at home, and not long after the old man entered the house, he struggled to move out a big oil drum, opened the lid, and it was full of snow-white lard.
The old man patted the bucket: "Say, how much do you want." ”
"We've got all of this bucket." Zheng Nan pointed to the bucket and said.
Zheng Nan's words made the old man and his wife happy, and the old man told Zheng Nan: "That's good to say, this barrel is thirty catties, you can give six yuan, and the oil drum will be given to you." ”
"Six bucks? This barrel? Li Lei exclaimed.
Zheng Nan secretly said badly, but he immediately exclaimed: "Yes, six yuan is too expensive, we only collected five yuan last time, we rode all the way over, uncle, you return the cigarette to me." ”
Seeing Zheng Nan stretching out his hand, the old man hurriedly covered his pocket: "I can't help it, how can I still ask for this thing sent out?" ”
The old man then took a step back: "Then it's still five yuan, and I won't take advantage of you." ”
Zheng Nan nodded in agreement, then counted out five yuan to the old man, and asked the old man for a straw rope, and firmly tied the oil drum to Li Lei's bicycle.
"Uncle, do you still have oil at home or at the homes of relatives and friends?" While busy working, Zheng Nan asked casually.
The old man wondered why such a big bucket was not enough, and he could eat it at home for more than half a year!
"Of course I'm enough for myself, but if it's delicious, I'll have to come to you often to buy it in the future, or the neighbors will ask me to buy it." Zheng Nan explained.
The old man nodded again and again with a sudden realization: "Of course, we don't say anything else in Qingshan Village, the lard pipe is enough, and it is the best lard in the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, which is exclusively supplied by the meat factory!" ”
"That's good, then the troublesome uncle will help me contact me, as long as it's delicious, I will definitely buy it again." Zheng Nan said.
"Good, good!"
The old man said yes repeatedly, and then personally sent Zheng Nan and Li Lei out of the village, and the whole person jumped up excitedly.
The wife at home seemed to be a little incredulous: "Really sold? There are really people who buy lard! ”
The old man shook the money he had just received: "I sold it, and I sold it for five yuan!" ”
My wife's eyes straightened at that time: "So many? These city dwellers are so expensive that they are willing to spend so much money on this oil. ”
The old man laughed: "It's good that they are expensive, but how can we make their money if they are not expensive?" Prepare quickly, they may come more often in the future. ”
