Chapter 74 Trying to be worthy of friends
After coming out of the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Long was still a little unwilling to give up. He held the horse's reins and walked around nearby, and then he saw the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Li Long immediately realized that it was useless to go to the sales department just now. Purchasing is not the responsibility of these salesmen. They are only responsible for selling things, not buying things, so they will naturally use some principled words. Deal with yourself.
But if you meet a real purchasing person, they might be very flexible?
Li Long took the reins of the carriage and arrived at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative compound.
There was black smoke coming from the chimney of the concierge next to the gate, and you could feel that a lot of coal was burning inside.
Li Long walked over and gently knocked on the window covered with plastic paper. The door opened. An old man saw Li Long and asked expressionlessly:
"What are you looking for?" Who?”
“Old man, come and have a cigarette,” Li Long smiled and took out the flattened large front door cigarette case from his pocket, took one out and handed it over.
Seeing Li Long passing the cigarette, the old man's expression softened a little, he took the cigarette and said:
"Young man, if you have anything to say, just say it. It's too cold outside, and I don't want all the warmth in the house to be drained."
Li Long saw that the old man had a cigarette in his ear, so he simply put it The half-pack was stuffed right in front of the big front door. Fang held it in his hand and said:
"Old man, I would like to ask, who is in charge of purchasing in our supply and marketing cooperative, is he here now?"
"Who is in charge of purchasing? Young man, you Want to sell something? "Old man He glanced at Li Long's carriage and smiled. He took the big front door stick from his ear and put it into the cigarette case. He then put the cigarette case into his pocket and said:
"You want to ask? Others, they really may not tell you. In our supply and marketing cooperative, the person in charge of purchasing in the county is Chief Li Xiangxiang. He happened to pick up a truck of raisins from Dongjiang today. The notice I received here said that it would arrive at noon today. If you are in a hurry, just wait. ”
Li Long thought about it, then just wait.
"Young man, come inside." The old man saw that Li Long was going to wait outside, so he stretched out his hand to say hello, "Park your carriage next to the concierge, you can see through the window Come on, you can’t lose that thing.”
“Thank you, old man.” Li Long tied the horse to the telephone pole next to the gatehouse and quickly entered the gatehouse.
Sure enough, it was really warm in this room. The cast iron stove was burning red and the coal rack inside was full. Sure enough, it is still a supply and marketing cooperative, a wealthy company.
Li Long took off his coat and his face felt itchy. This was a normal reaction to mild frostbite and heat, but Li Long didn't care.
"Young man, where are you from?" The old man finally met someone here and started chatting, "Why did you remember to come to the supply and marketing cooperative? Do you have something to sell?"
"Well, My friend lives in the mountains and the sheep there are quite good. , I just wanted to help sell them. I think the supply and marketing cooperatives are the ones who can buy a lot of sheep.”
Li Long later learned that the supply and marketing cooperatives these days are not only responsible for selling things, but they are also responsible for buying sheep. The purchase of local specialties from various places plays a role in balancing supply and demand. So when he wanted to help Yushanjiang and Halimu sell sheep, the first thing he thought of was the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Sheep? That's not bad." The old man said with a smile, "Don't mention it, the supply and marketing cooperative really collects sheep, especially this winter, who wouldn't want to give some good things to this rich unit? ——You have sheep in your car, right? How much does it cost per kilogram?”
“It’s only one yuan for retail sales, and there’s no need for meat stamps anyway,” Li Long said, “If you sell it wholesale, then. The price will be calculated separately.”
"Hey, young man, you are still an expert." The old man said with a smile, "Then sell me some of your mutton. It's the Chinese New Year soon, and we have to have two meat dishes at home. The meat sold in the butcher shop requires a ticket, and that thing No one has much.”
< br>"Okay, but I don't have a scale at hand..."
"That's easy, help me look at the door, and I'll find a scale for you. I can also help you shout." The old man Put on your coat and cotton hat and go outside.
Li Long hurriedly followed him out. The old man saw him following him out and asked a little strangely:
"What are you doing out here? Why don't you stay in the house when it's so warm?"
< br>
"Old man, can I stay in the house alone when you leave? It's inconvenient. I'll just wait outside. Besides, it was warm by the fire just now..."
"Young man is very particular!" He smiled and said, "Because of your sincerity, I have to help you. Come and let me see your mutton first." Li Long lifted the sheep on the carriage. The sheep had only been slaughtered for two days and had been frozen since they were slaughtered. The meat was bright red in color, and because they were specially selected by Harimu and Yushanjiang for Li Long, they were all fat and strong and looked very beautiful.
“Good mutton, let’s go for this lamb. I have to weigh a leg of lamb!” The old man could tell at a glance that the mutton was good, and he said with a smile:
"Young man, please wait a moment."
As he said that, the old man put on his coat and walked to the sales department next to him. Although the old man was over sixty years old, he walked very fast and came over with a scale in less than three minutes.
This kind of platform scale has a weighing pan on one side to hold things, and a scaled beam on the other side. A small hanging platform that can hold a round weight is hung below.
The old man put the scale on the ground, and then said to Li Long:
"Come on, come on, cut off my hind legs first."
Li Long took the knife , and quickly untied the old man's hind legs - from the first time he got the frozen sheep to now, Li Longjie had a few sheep, and he knew where to make the cut.
"Four kilograms each," Li Long put the leg of lamb on the scale. The old man squatted down and added weights piece by piece, and finally said, "Is it fair?"
"Four kilograms, old man." Li Long said with a smile, "It's zero."
"Okay, then you collect the money, and I'll call someone later." The old man handed two pieces of two yuan to Li Long, carrying the sheep The legs entered the house.
After putting the leg of lamb away, the old man came out of the concierge again and entered the courtyard. He came back after a while.
At this time, Li Long had already put the two pieces of money in good condition into his arms. He planned to put the two bills away and not spend them.
"Young man, please wait a moment, they will be here soon." The old man said with a smile.
Sure enough, within five minutes, people came out one after another and started asking for prices.
You weigh three kilograms and I weigh two kilograms. Soon, only one or two of Li Long’s two sheep (mutilated) were left with their necks.
"What is that? It hasn't been skinned yet?"
"Yes, it doesn't look like a sheep." Someone asked after seeing the roe deer on the carriage.
"That's a roe deer, a gift from a friend in the mountains," Li Long put the money in his pocket and explained, "Because I didn't have enough time, it hasn't melted yet."
"Roe deer? I don't know how it tastes? The person who asked the question was still a little curious, "Will it be sold?"
“There’s no way to sell this.” Li Long waved his hand, “I haven’t even peeled off the skin, so it’s not easy to handle even if it’s frozen...”
As he was talking, he heard something The car horn honked, and when I turned around I saw a truck driving in.
"Young man, aren't you looking for Chief Li of the purchasing department? No, he's here!" the old man said with a smile.
Li Long was a little nervous.
