Chapter 79 It’s hard to be smooth sailing after twists and turns
In the farm machinery factory’s courtyard, the gatekeeper was already familiar with Li Long. He opened the window and asked Li Long with a smile:
“Young man Are you here to sell fish again? You won’t be taking a break during the Chinese New Year?”
“Why don’t you take a break? How much money can I earn during the New Year?" Li Long was still cautious, carrying a bag of fish on his back and a leg of lamb in his hand, and said as he walked in:
"We can't compare with you. I don’t see much money at the beginning of the year, so I can earn a little, otherwise I won’t have enough money to buy candies and peanuts during the New Year.”
"That's not a little money for you." The old man said happily: "You earn someone else's salary for a month a day, and you are no longer young or old."
"That's not my money alone," Li Long slowed down , "Do those who catch fish have to pay others? Don't I'm here selling fish, and there are many people busy behind me. If I stay indoors to keep warm in this cold weather, I'll have to dig holes in the ice, which will be a disaster."
"That would be a disaster. Yes, it’s hard-earned money.” The old man expressed deep sympathy.
Li Long took the opportunity to ask:
"Old man, does anyone in this agricultural machinery factory want mutton?" He raised the leg of mutton and asked.
An agricultural machinery factory is such a large unit, and now is the era when agricultural machinery is booming. The benefits should be very good. Isn't it worth the money to buy a sheep?
"Mutton? You're late." The old man shook his head, "A few days ago, the factory's logistics department only distributed benefits. Each worker received three kilograms of mutton, which was free of meat stamps. Now every company There is no shortage.”
Li Long didn’t expect that the factory had already thought of it. A wry smile appeared on his face:
“I was still thinking that with this fish and this sheep, just to put it together, everyone would have a better life in the new year - since I have it, then my leg of lamb will be Keep it.”
Although there is a high probability that no one will buy mutton in this courtyard, the fish will still be sold.
But since the people in the logistics department of the agricultural machinery factory have already taken it into consideration, is this the same for other factories? In this case, we can only place our hope in the Ma County Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
But in this way, you can only be manipulated by others, and you will be very passive. It's just that there is no other way for the time being.
Li Long walked inside, and the old man shouted from behind:
"Young man, go to the sugar factory and ask. I heard some workers in our factory said, "That's where the sugar factory is." There are people around here who are envious of our factory’s good welfare and the distribution of meat.”
“Really?” Li Long suddenly turned his head and showed an expression of disbelief, “Old man, what you said is true. ?”
"Of course it's true. Let me think about it..." The old man thought for a moment and said, "It should have happened the day before yesterday."
"Okay, thank you, old man!" Li Long turned around immediately, and Yu didn't want to Sold and walked out of the gate, Li Long turned around again and took out the A three kilogram big carp was stuffed through the window:
"Old man, I'll give it to you to eat, thank you!"
Watching Li Long leave in a hurry, the old man said with a smile:
“This boy... is quite sensible!”
Tao Daqiang, who was on the carriage, saw Li Long entering and then hurried back. His heart immediately lifted. When Li Long arrived, he hurriedly asked:
"Brother Long, what's going on? Fish is not allowed to be sold here." ?”
“No, let’s go to the sugar factory first.” Li Long took the reins, jumped on the carriage, whipped his whip, and drove the carriage quickly to the sugar factory.
At the entrance of the sugar factory, which smelled of sweet smell mixed with the strange smell of burnt mustard, the young guard looked Li Long up and down and asked:
"You said you are here to help us with logistics Who can solve the problem? Have a letter of introduction? "Yes, but I'm telling the truth." Li Long pointed to the carriage and said, "I heard that your logistics department encountered difficulties, so I took the initiative to deliver the things to your door. You call your section chief. It won’t take much to make a phone call, right?”
"That won't take much trouble... What are you doing?"
"Fish, mutton - don't you give out welfare during the holidays?" Li Long whispered, "In the mountains How about the freshly slaughtered mutton and the fish just caught in Haizi?”
The young man’s eyes lit up, this is really good stuff!
Li Long saw there was a door, turned around and took out a fish from the carriage, threaded it through a thin wire and handed it over:
"Come, comrade, this is for you, just help us check whether the fish is fresh or not."
"How embarrassing..." The guard said this, but he accepted it without hesitation. Come over. Just kidding, this fish costs two or three yuan. People at the family home have long said that the fish is fresh and beautiful to look at. Just take this fish back and it will be another delicious dish for Chinese New Year!
"Just wait, I'll call the logistics department. I can't guarantee whether they can come."
"Okay, thank you very much." Li Long smiled Wave your hands.
Beside the carriage, Tao Daqiang looked at Li Long's words and actions with envy, but he knew he couldn't do it. He was obviously here to recommend things, but he said he was helping others solve their problems, giving fish to others, but when it came to Li Long's mouth, he asked others to test the fish - Brother Long's brain is really good!
"Chief Hu, how dare I coax you? That person has a letter of introduction, and there are fish and sheep on the carriage. I saw the fish, it's really fresh. The mutton is also..."
hang After picking up the phone, the guard came out and said to Li Long:
< br>"I've told you what I said. Section Chief Hu will come over later. Be careful. Section Chief is wandering around. If you are lying, you will be able to tell in minutes..."
"How can you It's a lie, I know it." Li Long smiled. If you can see the logistics section chief, half the problem will be solved.
Four or five minutes later, a middle-aged man who was not tall but looked quite stocky came out of the factory.
When he came to the door, he looked at Li Long and then at the doorman. Before he could speak, Li Long stretched out his hands and walked over with a smile:
"Hello, Chief Hu, I am Ma Li Long from the Fourth Squadron of the Xinhu Brigade of the County Hongqi Commune!"
"Hello..." Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Section Chief Hu shook hands with Li Long and asked, "You are Xiao Wang. The one with fish and sheep..."
"It's me." Li Long could see the expression of distrust on Chief Hu's face, and immediately said:
"Chief Hu, I just came down from the mountain yesterday. Look, this is a sheep's Sample." He turned around and took a leg of lamb from the carriage and showed it to Chief Hu, "Sheep are being slaughtered on the mountain right now. If you need it, I can bring over a dozen or twenty slaughtered and processed sheep today. .”
"Really?" Section Chief Hu didn't expect that this young man looked young, but he was extremely efficient in speaking and doing things. He had no politeness and said what he wanted in just three or five sentences.
He took the leg of lamb and looked at it:
"Well, this mutton is indeed good, quite fresh, and not the kind of sick sheep. That Li..."
"Li Long." Li Long answered.
"Li Long, to Comrade Li Long, are you sure you can pull in a dozen sheep today?"
"My friend's winter nest is right there." Li Long pointed to the mountains to the southeast. "It's less than thirty kilometers away. I'll rush there now. I can get back before you get off work. Of course, the premise is Do you really want the sheep I brought?"
Chief Hu hesitated.
