Li Weidong did not directly say the request, but asked: "Old man, after you receive the wheat, do you have a way to process it into flour?" ”

"It's okay, I have an acquaintance."

Zhang Yunshang nodded reservedly.

In fact, it is not just an acquaintance, in this year, he who dares to take risks and help him process wheat is not good.

"Here's the thing, we secretly hid some wheat in our village, and we want to process it into flour, so you can help us process the rest of the wheat by the way."

Only then did Li Weidong show his fox tail.

"Little bunny, are you still playing tricks with me? If it's really from your village, I'll eat this bed. Okay, I don't care where you get the wheat, it's fine for you, but I'll have to take a cut. ”

Zhang Yunshang directly exposed Li Weidong's tricks, not only was he not annoyed, but he was very interested.

This is bought and sold, done.

After all, selling a bed is just a one-shot deal, but if the other party processes a batch of wheat every month, it will be a steady stream of income.

"Yes, you name the number."

Li Weidong nodded, mentally prepared.

He didn't expect the other party to help in vain from the beginning.

"It depends on the amount of wheat you want to process, the more you have, the more risk I take, and the higher the commission." Zhang Yunshang said.

"Three hundred pounds."

Li Weidong thought about it and gave a number.

This number was deliberate by him.

The same processing into 80 flour can get 240 catties of flour.

He can take 60 catties of flour to his home every month, which is equivalent to two catties a day, mixed with coarse grains, just enough for the whole family to eat for a day.

It's not that he is reluctant to take more, but the more he takes, the greater the hidden danger.

Whether it is Zhang Xiuzhen, or his grandmother, including Li Shuqun, they will question the origin of his flour.

Even if it was sixty pounds, he had to give a reasonable excuse.

It's not difficult to talk about this, it's just a few more trips to the countryside, and there will be an excuse.

For the rest, Li Weidong saved a part, and the other part went to the black market to exchange for some daily necessities, as long as he was careful and controlled the quantity every time, it was unlikely that he would be targeted.

What's more, the figure of three hundred catties is not much, and it is not a lot.

It would not make Zhang Yunshang take a risk, after all, he had just traded almost six hundred catties, which was only half.

Why did Li Weidong always inquire about his family's situation before?

There are children and daughters to worry about, and it is inevitable to think about things and worry a lot.

Moreover, with his small courtyard, there must be a lot of hidden bottoms in his home that cannot see the light at the moment, and all he lacks is food.

These are the prerequisites for Li Weidong's final cooperation.

Otherwise, taking out thousands of catties of wheat is simply asking for trouble for yourself.

"Every month?"

Zhang Yunshang looked Li Weidong up and down, and once again admitted that he had lost his eyes.

But it's normal to think about it, these days, if you are willing to exchange five or six hundred catties of wheat for a rosewood bed, you are either stupid or big.

He didn't want to find out where Li Weidong got so much wheat, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

All he cares about is what he deserves.

"Yes, every month."

Li Weidong nodded.

"Since it's a long-term business, I won't fool you, I want 30%, I will take 10%, my friends will take 10%, and the other 10% will be shared with the people under him." Zhang Yunshang thought for a while and said.

The business of eating alone has never lasted long.

Only by pulling everyone into one pot is hello, hello, hello, everyone.

"It's a lot, if it's not for fear of trouble, I'll go back to the countryside and find a mill, and I won't even need it." Li Weidong shook his head.

Thirty percent?

What do you think.

"All your wheat is in the city, right? You don't need to say the risk of being transported back to the countryside, you know it, if you want to be investigated, confiscation is trivial, and you will probably have to stay in it for the rest of your life. ”

Mr. Zhang scoffed at his claims.

"And a few hundred pounds of wheat, you are a fool to be the caretaker of the mill? It's no wonder if I don't catch you. ”

Li Weidong naturally knew about these questions given by Zhang Yunshang.

Transport, he is not worried, there is a game farm there, who can find out?

But you know, this was the early sixties, when you had to ask for a letter of introduction everywhere, and if he went to the country and asked someone to borrow a mill, you would see if they would lend it to him.

In his previous life, he had heard a true story.

In other words, in the past few years, a spy was caught while he was on the run, and he couldn't figure it out, he was obviously well disguised, how did the 'enemy' see through him?

His captors told him that he had been reported by the people.

The reason for the report was because he used toilet paper to wipe his buttocks.

It can be seen how vigilant the masses of the people in this era are.

If you don't go to the country, to the flour mill, it's even more impossible.

In those days, there were no private flour mills, and even the mills in the city were collectively or unit-owned.

He was a countryman who had no letter of introduction, no proof of work, and no urban hukou, so he went to the flour mill and told them: I have a batch of wheat, you can help me process it.

What awaits him is not good tea and good wine, but the cold handcuffs of the defense department.

As for getting a hand-mill and grinding flour by himself, he didn't even think about it.

Isn't he basking in the sun every day just to be able to lie down and be comfortable?

How can you find your own guilt for that little profit?

There was a waste of effort, and he got it back in the sun.

It's just that although he is ready to pay the price, the other party will open his mouth to 30%, which is undoubtedly a lion's mouth.

"If you want to say that, then I can't help it, go back and buy a stone mill by myself, put it at home and grind it secretly, and keep it unknowingly, it's nothing more than a bad taste.

And our business can only end here, you don't think that I really lack a bed to sleep in, do you?

To put it bluntly, when I buy your bed, I am throwing stones to ask for directions and buy myself a safe way.

In this way, you earn, and I don't have to worry about it. ”

Li Weidong spread out his hand, clearly saying that if the other party is still like this, then simply shoot it in two.

"Don't, I said little brother, how can you talk without words? How much effort did it take me to get this bed for you? You say don't want it, don't want it? Or is it not a gentleman? ”

Zhang Yunshang was in a hurry.

The wheat that changed the bed hasn't arrived yet, so for the sake of those dozens of catties of wheat, make a chicken and fly eggs, wouldn't it be a sesame seed and a watermelon?

"Old man, we have a word first, the premise of my agreement to exchange is that you have to agree to me a request first, if you can't even do this, then what else is the trade?" Li Weidong said frankly.

"That's 20 percent, right?" Zhang Yunshang seemed to have to bow his head.

"It's a success!"

Li Weidong stretched out a finger.

"That's not good, three hundred catties of wheat, only thirty catties of Yicheng, I can't open that mouth, if my friend doesn't appease the people under him, just wait to be reported."

Zhang Yunshang said earnestly.

"Old man, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking, this is 300 catties of wheat a month, only a lot more, and I don't want the bran left over from processing flour.

In addition, I can sell you thirty catties of flour at a price of five cents a pound a month, what do you think?

You live in this yard for a long time, you won't be unable to come up with this money, right? ”

Li Weidong said his thoughts again.

It just so happened that he didn't have a lot of money, so he got some flowers from Zhang Yunshang.

It's just that the price is three cents cheaper than on the black market.

The only good thing is security.

"I want sixty pounds, and the price is as you say."

Sure enough, Zhang Yunshang didn't say anything about the price, but just doubled the amount of flour.

"Deal!"

"I'll give you a place to go back, and you pull the wheat over there, and then you don't have to worry about it. In the future, the transaction will also be in this way, just tell me a day in advance. ”

Zhang Yunshang is also an old man, and he knows the truth of caution and prudence.

His side is Rouge Alley, where people come and go, and if there are too many times, it will inevitably go wrong.

"Okay."

Li Weidong did not object, because it would be good for both sides.

Two days later, in the evening, Li Weidong quietly came to an inconspicuous warehouse according to the address given by Zhang Yunshang.

The reason for the delay of two days was that Li Weidong's previous ripening wheat was only enough to replace the rosewood bed.

It took two more days of sun basking in the sun to get enough of my share.

Li Weidong hid in the shadows, waited for more than ten minutes, and saw that there was no movement, before quietly coming to the door of the warehouse, and then took out the wheat in the sack from the warehouse.

Because there is no scale, Li Weidong can only use the weight of the pumpkin to estimate, even if there is a little gap, it is only a lot more.

After all this was done, Li Weidong stepped forward and knocked on the door of the warehouse.

At this time, he was wearing a hat to protect his ears, and he directly covered most of his face, and if he wasn't very familiar with someone, he wouldn't recognize it at all.

"Who?"

In the warehouse, a vigilant voice was immediately heard.

"I, Li Dafu."

This is Li Weidong's new name, and it can also be regarded as a code for cooperation between the two sides.

Only recognize the name but not the person.

In other words, if it is inconvenient for Li Weidong to come forward, he can find someone to replace him.

After opening the door, two young men came out, and without speaking, they consciously carried the sack inside.

Li Weidong did not fill the sack with wheat in order to be able to carry it, and only half a sack.

Soon, the sacks were moved to the warehouse, and in the dim light, seven or eight sacks were piled together.

One of the young men eagerly opened a sack and reached out for a handful of wheat, his face immediately showing surprise.

After all, the wheat produced by the game farm is top-notch in every way.

"Special level."

I put a few grains of wheat in my mouth and chewed it, and the other party gave an evaluation.

"Let's weigh it first."

Li Weidong said in a suppressed voice.

"Wait a minute."

The two lads were obviously very dedicated, and after opening all the sacks one by one and checking them one by one, they took out a long scale.

After some weighing, the final figure was 975 catties.

After deducting the 580 catties belonging to Zhang Yunshang, there are still 395 catties left.

is nearly 100 catties more than the 300 catties that Li Weidong said at the beginning.

No one has a problem with this, though.

After all, the more wheat Li Weidong processes, the more they take a cut.

At this moment, a young man took out a notebook and wrote on it with a pen.

'Harvest the first grade wheat, 975 catties. ’

"Comrade, please sign it."

"Okay."

Li Weidong took it calmly, changed his handwriting, and wrote the three words Li Dafu on it.
