Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a casual fish

Chapter 38 I, Li Dafu

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

"Okay, I have an acquaintance."

Zhang Yunshang nodded reservedly.

In fact, it was more than just an acquaintance. In these days, those who dared to take risks and help him process wheat did not have to be close to each other.

"The thing is like this. We have secretly hidden some wheat in the village and want to process it into flour. We just do two things without doing one thing. By the way, you can also help us process the remaining wheat."

Only then did Li Weidong reveal his fox tail.

"You little bastard, are you still playing tricks on me? If it was really from your village, I would eat this bed. Okay, I don't care where you got the wheat from. I can process it for you, but I have to take a commission.

.”

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

This deal can be done.

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

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

He was a countryman with no letter of introduction, no certificate of employment, and no urban household registration. He went to the flour processing factory and told people: I have a batch of wheat, and you can help me process it.

After all, the more wheat Li Weidong processes, the more commission they will take.

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

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

Zhang Yunshang looked Li Weidong up and down and admitted again that he had made a mistake.

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

In this way, you make money and I have peace of mind."

Li Weidong expressed his thoughts again.

And our business can only go so far. You don’t think that I really need a bed to sleep on, do you?

Process it into 80 flour in the same way, and you can get 240 kilograms of flour.

"Okay, you can tell me the number."

"It's too much. If I wasn't afraid of trouble, I would go back to the countryside and find a mill. I wouldn't even use 10% of it." Li Weidong shook his head.

"If you say that, then I have nothing to do. I will buy a stone grinder and grind it secretly at home. I will keep it without anyone noticing, but the taste will be worse.

It's just that the price is 30 cents cheaper than on the black market.

After opening the door, two young men came out. They didn't say anything and just carried the sacks inside.

However, no one has an opinion on this.

If you have children and worries, you will inevitably have to think about and worry a lot when doing things.

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

Moreover, with his small courtyard, there must be a lot of things hidden in the family that cannot be seen at the moment. All he lacks is food.

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

By the way, just in the past few years, a spy was caught while escaping. He was puzzled. He was clearly disguised very well. How did the 'enemy' see through him?

Zhang Yunshang scoffed at his statement.

All he cares about is the part he deserves.

"Just 10%!"

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

Li Weidong said in a low voice.

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

At this time, he was wearing a hat that protected his ears, covering most of his face. If you weren't a very familiar person, you wouldn't be able to recognize him at all.

What are you thinking about?

After all, Zhang Yunshang is also a veteran of the martial arts world, and he understands the principle of caution.

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

"who?"

This number was carefully considered by him.

"I, Li Dafu."

Li Weidong nodded, already mentally prepared.

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

"OK."

Even if it's sixty pounds, he still has to give a reasonable excuse.

‘Collecting special first-grade wheat, 975 jins.’

It would be even more impossible if we didn’t go to the countryside and go to a flour mill.

In the warehouse, alarm sounds immediately came from the warehouse.

"good."

Otherwise, if you take out thousands of kilograms of wheat rashly, you will be causing trouble for yourself.

But you must know that this was the early 1960s, when you had to ask for a letter of introduction wherever you went. If he casually went to the countryside and asked someone to borrow a mill, see if they would lend it to him.

It's not difficult to do this. It's just a matter of going to the countryside a few more times, and there's an excuse.

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

In other words, if it is not convenient for Li Weidong to come forward, he can definitely find someone to take his place.

However, although he was prepared to pay the price, the other party's mouth was still open, so it was undoubtedly a lion's mouth.

Zhang Yunshang said seriously.

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

"I want sixty pounds, and the price will be as you said."

"Then 20% is for the head office, right?" Zhang Yunshang seemed to have to bow his head.

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

Because there was no scale, Li Weidong could only use the weight of the pumpkin to estimate it. Even if there was a slight difference, it was only a lot more.

After some weighing, the final figure was 975 kilograms.

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

"That won't work. Three hundred kilograms of wheat, 10% of which is only thirty kilograms. I can't even open my mouth. If my friend doesn't comfort the people under his hands, he's just waiting to be reported."

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

It took two more days of sunbathing to get enough of my share.

He is not worried about transportation. There is a game farm, who can find it?

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

He can bring sixty kilograms of flour to his home every month, which is equivalent to two kilograms a day, and mix it with some whole grains, which is just enough for the whole family to eat for a day.

He put a few grains of wheat in his mouth and chewed it, and the other party gave him an evaluation.

Li Weidong spread his hands, making it clear that if the other party continued to behave like this, he would just slap them away.

It was nearly a hundred kilograms more than the three hundred kilograms Li Weidong promised at the beginning.

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

Li Weidong nodded.

Zhang Yunshang would not be tempted to take risks, after all, he had just traded almost 600 kilograms, and this was only half of it.

Thirty percent?

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

"Since it's a long-term deal, I won't fool you. I want 30%, 10% for me, 10% for my friend, and the other 10% will be shared with his subordinates." Zhang Yunshang thought for a while and said.

From the beginning, he never expected that the other party's help would be in vain.

Only by pulling everyone into the same pot can you be good to me and everyone to be good.

He regained the time he wasted just by basking in the sun.

In addition, I can sell you thirty kilograms of flour at 50 cents per kilogram every month. What do you think?

You’ve always lived in this courtyard, so you can’t afford this little money, right?”

"Hold on."

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

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

"Three hundred pounds."

The only advantage is safety.

He only recognizes names but not people.

Li Weidong did not object because it was good for both parties.

I haven't even gotten the wheat to change my bed yet, but just for those dozens of kilograms of wheat, I'm going to pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

"Old man, we have an agreement in advance. The premise for me to agree to the exchange is that you must first agree to my request. If you can't even do this, what's the point of the deal?" Li Weidong said frankly.

More importantly, the number three hundred pounds is neither too much nor too little.

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

Li Weidong saved part of the rest and went to the black market to exchange the rest for some daily necessities. As long as he was careful and controlled the quantity every time, the possibility of being targeted was low.

After deducting the 580 kilograms belonging to Zhang Yunshang, 395 kilograms are left.

Zhang Yunshang was anxious now.

It happened that he didn't have much money, so he got some flowers from Zhang Yunshang.

Doesn't he bask in the sun every day just so he can lie down and feel comfortable?

How could he seek trouble for himself just for that little bit of 'petty profit'?

The business of eating alone never lasts long.

In order to be able to move the sack, Li Weidong did not fill it with wheat, only half the sack.

Li Weidong thought for a while and gave a number.

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

Li Weidong naturally knows the questions Zhang Yunshang raised.

"Comrade, please sign."

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

The reason for the two-day delay was that the wheat that Li Weidong had ripened before was only enough to replace the rosewood bed.

"And with hundreds of kilograms of wheat, you think the mill guard is a fool? It would be strange if we didn't arrest you."

"Every month?"

Li Weidong hid in the shadows and waited for more than ten minutes. When there was no movement, he quietly came to the door of the warehouse and took out the wheat in the sacks.

"Let's get weighed first."

Li Weidong stretched out a finger.

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

"Extra first class."

The two young men were obviously very dedicated. After opening all the sacks one by one and inspecting them, they took out a long scale.

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

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

"Yes, every month."

"No, little brother, how can you keep your word? How much effort did I put into getting you this bed? Just don't want it if you don't want it? Or am I not a man anymore?"

"make a deal!"

This is Rouge Lane, where people come and go. If it happens too often, something will inevitably go wrong.

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

Sorry, I changed the title of the book without informing you one or two days in advance. After posting the chapters, I immediately changed the title an hour later.

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

Everyone really must remember the way home.

Finally, I sincerely ask everyone to stop raising books. I feel very sad.
