Chapter 50: What are you selling?
There was a harvest in the greenhouse. Tang Wei'an planned to harvest the mature vegetables and sell some of them first to test the market and get some blood back, but Tang Shu disagreed.
"If we sell them now, there is no way to maximize profits, and the sales cycle will not be short. If we wait a few more days, we will definitely earn a lot of money from this batch of vegetables."
Tang Shu did not explain in detail, but Tang Wei'an was confused. He felt that newly matured vegetables are the freshest and most tender. If they continue to grow, the taste will definitely not be as good as now. However, Tang Shu insisted again and again, and he could not say anything.
, who told Tang Shu to pay for the construction of this greenhouse?
The twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month soon passed, and there were less than ten days left before the Spring Festival of 1984. Tang Shu then asked Tang Wei'an to pick and harvest all the vegetables, and he and Shao Xianjun rushed back to the county to seek transportation help.
Ways.
At this time, the New Year is approaching, and the transportation station has already entered a holiday state. When Tang Shu went there, there was no staff at the station except for two on-duty workers. More than a dozen trucks were parked in the compound, and the carriages were being cleaned.
It has to be clean, obviously it was impossible to start it again a year ago.
Facing the cigarettes handed over by Tang Shu, the attendant impatiently reached out and pushed them away: "It's not that I don't want to help. Didn't you see the notice posted outside when you entered? Now that all the drivers have gone back to celebrate the New Year, you asked me
Where can I find someone to drive for you?"
Tang Shu and Shao Xianjun were just two hairless young men, and they couldn't produce a letter of introduction issued by their work unit. How could the attendant pay any attention to these two people who had no certificates, but came to ask them to shunt the car?
furry child?
After spending most of the day in the transportation station with no results, Tang Shu and Shao Xianjun could only find another way. When they walked out of the duty officer's office, Tang Shu spit on the ground.
Don't all walks of life feel a sense of crisis now? In later generations, those logistics companies were busy until New Year's Eve without proofing.
Shao Xianjun had actually expected such a result, but he was unwilling to resort to the most primitive method that the two of them had discussed before: "Can we really only use a tricycle to deliver it to the city one trip at a time?"
You must know that Huayang Town is more than thirty miles away from Jiangcheng County. If you are pedaling on three wheels, it will take at least half a day to go back and forth. Moreover, there is a section of dirt road that is not easy to walk. Now because of the snow,
It was frozen, and walking on it was almost like skating. They had to pull a cart to cross it on foot. If they were so lucky, they would be exhausted in less than two trips.
But this is the only way now. If they don't transport the vegetables, their work for the past six months will be in vain.
"Complaining is useless, let's go, we have to borrow a car."
The two of them complained all the way out of the transportation station. From a distance, they saw a woman, three men, and four people walking towards the gate of the transportation station across the road. Looking at their murderous looks, they knew that they were here to make trouble at the transportation station, and it would be unavoidable to hurt Chi.
Yu and Tang Shu quickly stepped aside to clear the way.
The moment he passed by the four people, Tang Shu let out a light sigh: "Are these Ma Qianjin's wife and three sons?"
Tang Shu did not admit the wrong person. It was Ma Qianjin's family who came to the transportation station to cause trouble.
His wife had no job, and her three children were in school. When Ma Qianjin was imprisoned, the family had no source of income. Originally, they could still make a living from Tian Qiming, but with the dismissal of Section Chief Tian,
This road doesn't work either.
The family's illegal income and valuables have been confiscated by the public security organs, and now everything that can be sold has been sold. The eldest son even dropped out of school and worked part-time to supplement the family income. Unfortunately, everyone in Jiangcheng County seems to know that his father is a labor reform prisoner, and no one
The family was willing to work for him, but the family persisted for only half a year, and they were already in a state of poverty. Faced with all kinds of desperation, they could only go to Ma Qianjin's original unit for help.
In this regard, the transportation station is also helpless. Ma Qianjin committed a crime and went to jail. The transportation station has no reason to help their mother and son. One or two symbolic help is okay, but making trouble every three days is a bit unreasonable.
.
The four unreasonable mother and son really caused a headache. The leaders chose to avoid them one after another. The attendant even locked the door when they saw them coming and let them knock no matter what they did. They just pretended to be dead.
dog.
Seeing that no one responded for a long time, Ma Qianjin's wife could no longer control her grievances. She sat down on the steps outside the office, slapping her thighs and crying: "Does this still allow people to live? Believe it or not.
We all hanged at the transport station?"
Seeing that their mother was preparing to seek death, the three sons also began to enter a state of madness. They were already in this field anyway, so what did they have to fear?
Just when the boss of the Ma family was about to throw a stone at the door, Tang Shu and Shao Xianjun came back and stepped forward to stop them in front of the Ma family: "Brother, don't be impulsive. Not only is it useless, you will really alert the police after a while.
, the situation will only get worse."
The boss of the Ma family smiled ferociously: "We're at a dead end anyway, and I'm not afraid of going to the police station. The worst I can do is get shot, and I'll die a hundred times."
"Isn't it just because you are short of money that you can't live on? This small problem won't be life-or-death. I have a job here, do you want to do it?"
The four members of the Ma family looked at each other for a while, then all looked at Tang Shu with doubts and a hint of expectation: "Are you willing to use us?"
Tang Shu smiled faintly: "I know a little bit about your family's situation. Your father made a mistake and he has paid the price. It has nothing to do with you. Why can't I ask you for help?"
No one has the right to force someone to die unless it harms his wife and children.
"What kind of job? How much can you pay?"
"The thing is very simple. We have some things that we want to transport from Huayang Town to the county town, but now the transportation station is on holiday to celebrate the Spring Festival. We really can't find helpers and can only use manual transportation. If you are willing to help transport the things
Come up here and I can pay you fifteen yuan as a reward."
Fifteen yuan? The four people frowned. Although it didn't sound like much, it was enough for their family's New Year expenses.
"We are not afraid of death, so why are we afraid of suffering this little bit? We have done this job." It's just riding a tricycle to transport things, and it's not a fatal job. If your strength is used up, you can just go home and take a nap to replenish it.
Back?
"Wait a minute, are you saying that we only need to transport your things from Huayang Town to the county seat?"
The sudden words from Ma Qianjin's wife made Tang Shu and Shao Xianjun's eyes suddenly light up: "Auntie, do you have other ideas?"
Vegetables have a certain shelf life, so of course they have to be sold when they are the freshest. Human transportation is time-consuming and laborious, so it is the last resort. Tang Shu will not use this stupid method if there is some other solution. He will listen to the horse.
When Qianjin's daughter-in-law said this, that little bit of hope started to burn again.
"We definitely don't have trucks, but our old Ma has a good friend who can drive a ship. It's a diesel cargo ship that usually carries yellow sand. Can he transport your things?"
"Yes, that's great."
Tang Shu was about to express his gratitude when the eldest son of the Ma family pulled his mother over and said in a deep voice: "Mom, if you leave this matter to others, we won't get as much money."
Ma Qianjin’s wife was stunned for a moment, and felt that what her son said made sense. No matter how close the relationship between Xu Yougui, the sailor, and her husband were, asking for help always required payment, and it was impossible for others to help without receiving anything in return.
You play.
Seeing that the Ma family's daughter-in-law was a little hesitant, Tang Shu couldn't let go of this opportunity. He immediately said: "Auntie, don't worry, let me tell you clearly. Our things are shipped to the city for sale. If they can really be used,
The shipping fee will be paid to your friend, but I will definitely not let your help go in vain. When the time comes, we will share some of our stuff with you and you can sell it, and I guarantee that the money you will make will definitely be more than fifteen yuan."
Tang Shu's words once again made the Ma family feel confused. They had suffered a loss before. If this kid had no good intentions and was lucky enough to get something illegal, then the whole family would be in trouble.
