Chapter 38 I, Li Dafu

Li Weidong did not directly state the request, but asked: "Old man, after you receive the wheat, is there a way to process it into flour?"

"It's okay, there is an acquaintance."

Zhang Yunshang nodded reservedly.

In fact, it's not just as simple as an acquaintance. In these days, anyone who is willing to take risks and help him process wheat needs to have a solid relationship.

"The thing is like this. We secretly hid some wheat in our village, and we want to process it into flour. It happens that we don't need to do anything. You can also help us process the remaining wheat."

Only then did Li Weidong show his fox tail.

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

Zhang Yunshang directly exposed Li Weidong's little trick, not only not annoyed, but very interested.

This deal is done.

After all, selling beds 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.

"Okay, you can tell me the number."

Li Weidong nodded, already mentally prepared.

From the very beginning, he didn't expect the other party to help in vain.

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

"Three hundred catties."

Li Weidong thought for a while and gave a number.

This number is after his deliberation.

Similarly processed into 80 flour, you can get 240 catties of flour.

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

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

Both Zhang Xiuzhen and his grandma, including Li Shuqun, would question the origin of his flour.

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

It's not difficult about this point, it's nothing more than going to the countryside a few more times, and there will be an excuse.

For the rest, Li Weidong kept 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, the possibility of being targeted was not high.

More importantly, the figure of three hundred catties was neither too much nor too little.

It wouldn't make Zhang Yunshang take the risk, after all, he had traded almost six hundred catties just now, which was only half of it.

Why did Li Weidong keep asking about his family's situation before?

There are children and concerns, so it is inevitable to think a lot and worry a lot when doing things.

Moreover, based on his small courtyard, there must be a lot of things hidden in the house that cannot be seen right now. What he lacks is food.

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

Otherwise, if you take out thousands of catties of wheat rashly, you will simply cause trouble for yourself.

"Every month?"

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

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 a fool or a rich man.

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 transaction, I won't fool you. I want [-]%, I will take [-]%, my friend will take [-]%, and the other [-]% will be shared with his subordinates." Zhang Yunshang thought for a while and said.

The business of eating alone has never lasted for long.

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

"It's too much. If I'm not afraid of trouble, I'll go back to the countryside and find a mill. I won't even need a cent." Li Weidong shook his head.

Thirty percent?

What do you think.

"Your wheat is all in the city, right? I don't need to tell you the risks of transporting it back to the countryside. It's trivial to be caught and confiscated. I'm afraid you'll have to stay in it for the rest of your life."

Zhang Yunshang scoffed at his statement.

"Besides, with hundreds of catties of wheat, you are a fool to guard the mill? It would be strange if you weren't arrested."

Li Weidong naturally knew the questions Zhang Yunshang asked.

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

But you must know that this was the early 60s, when you had to ask for a letter of introduction everywhere. If he ran to the countryside carelessly and asked someone to borrow a mill, 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 escaping, and he couldn't figure it out. He clearly disguised himself very well, how did the 'enemy' see through him?

Those who arrested him told him that he was reported by the people.

The reason for the report is because he wiped his butt with toilet paper.

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

It would be even more impossible without going to the country, to a flour mill.

There are no private flour mills these days, and even the mills in the city are owned by collectives or units.

He was a countryman without a letter of introduction, no work unit certificate, and no urban household registration. He went to the flour processing factory and told them: I have a batch of wheat, and you can process it for me.

What awaited him was definitely not good tea or wine, but the cold handcuffs from the security department.

As for getting a manual 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 comfortably?
How could he find fault for that little 'petty profit'?

He got back the wasted effort just by basking in the sun.

However, although he was ready to pay the price, the other party opened his mouth [-]%, which is undoubtedly the lion's mouth.

"If you want to say that, then I can't help it. I'll buy a stone mill myself, put it at home and grind it secretly, and keep it without anyone noticing it. It's just that the taste is a little bit bad.

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

To put it bluntly, when I buy your bed, I just ask for directions and buy myself a safe way.

In this way, you make money, and I don't worry. "

Li Weidong spread out his hands, making it clear that if the other party still behaved like this, he would just shoot and break up.

"Don't, I said little brother, how can you keep your words? How much effort did I spend to get you this bed? If you say no, don't? Are you still a man?"

Zhang Yunshang is in a hurry now.

I haven't got the wheat to change the bed yet, but just for the dozens of catties of wheat, I made a chicken and egg, wouldn't I pick sesame seeds and lose watermelon?
"Old man, we have something to say first. The premise of my agreement to the exchange is that you have to agree to my request first. If you can't even do this, then what's the deal?" Li Weidong said frankly.

"The [-]% head office, right?" Zhang Yunshang seemed to have to bow his head.

"Just [-]%!"

Li Weidong held out a finger.

"That won't work. Three hundred catties of wheat, and ten cents only thirty catties. I can't even open my mouth. If my friend doesn't comfort the people under his hands, he will be reported."

Zhang Yunshang spoke earnestly.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet, the three hundred catties of wheat per month is just a lot more, and I don't want any bran left over from processing flour.

In addition, I can sell you [-] catties of flour at a price of [-] cents a catty per month, what do you think?
You live in this yard all the time, so you can't afford this little money, right? "

Li Weidong said his thoughts again.

It 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 [-] cents cheaper than on the black market.

The only good thing is security.

"I want sixty catties, the price is as you said."

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

"make a deal!"

"I'll give you a place later, and you can take the wheat over there, and then you don't have to worry about it. All future transactions will also follow this method, as long as you tell me one day in advance."

At any rate, Zhang Yunshang is an old Jianghu, and he is well versed in the principles of caution.

His side is Rouge Lane, where people come and go, there are too many times, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong.

"Ok."

Li Weidong didn't object, because it was good for both parties.

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

The reason why it was delayed for two days was because the wheat that Li Weidong had ripened earlier was only enough to replace the red sandalwood bed.

After another two days in the sun, I made up my share.

Li Weidong hid in the shadows and waited for more than ten minutes. Seeing no movement, he quietly came to the warehouse door, 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 difference, it is only a lot more.

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

At this time, he was wearing a hat that protected his ears, directly covering most of his face. If he was not very familiar with someone, he would not be able to recognize him at all.

"Who?"

In the warehouse, there was an immediate sound of vigilance.

"I, Li Dafu."

This is Li Weidong's new name, and it is also a secret code for the cooperation between the two parties.

Only recognize the name but not the person.

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

After opening the door, two young men came out, without saying a word, they consciously carried the sack inside.

In order to be able to move the sack, Li Weidong didn't fill it with wheat, only half the bag.

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

One of the young men couldn't wait to open a sack, stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of wheat, and surprise appeared on his face.

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

"Special level."

After chewing a few grains of wheat in his mouth, the other party gave an evaluation.

"Let's weigh it first."

Li Weidong said with a suppressed voice.

"Hold on."

The two boys were obviously very dedicated. After opening all the sacks 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 395 catties left.

It was nearly a hundred catties more than the three hundred catties that Li Weidong had promised at the beginning.

Still, no one has a problem with that.

After all, the more wheat Li Weidong processed, the more they would earn.

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

'Receive special first-grade wheat, 975 catties. '

"Comrade, please sign it."

"it is good."

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

 I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, I didn't announce the title change to everyone a day or two in advance. After publishing the chapters, the title was changed immediately after an hour.

  As a result, the collection was lost and almost collapsed.

  Everyone really must remember the way home.

  Finally, I implore everyone to really stop raising books, my son is suffering.
