The mayor is a little bit thick

Chapter 178 No profit, no money
After Wang Biao and Wang Guoqiang drove back home, Wang Biao came to the open space between Fangxi and the garden with an armful of wheat.

Seeing Wang Biao coming back, Shen Na asked curiously, "Why are you carrying the wheat back? Are you feeding the sheep?"

The old man laughed and said: "I want to burn wheat for you to eat, this thing is always delicious."

"Really? Is this still edible?" Shen Na curiously stood up from the old man's side and went outside.

She bent over halfway, looking at the wheat on the ground curiously like a baby, "How do you cook this? Is it really delicious?"

"Just light it up and burn it. Let me tell you, it is definitely an authentic snack. There are no peanuts in the village now. Peanuts are delicious when they are freshly baked."

As Wang Biao said, he put a large handful of hay grabbed from the hay bales on the ground, and then put the wheat on top of it. When the lighter was turned on, the flames shot up after a while, and then white smoke billowed.

Shen Na walked back in disgust, "It's so choking!"

"You're stupid, don't you know how to stand in the wind?" Wang Biao laughed.

"You are stupid, dare to scold me, looking for a chipper?"

Shen Na asked after sending out the tiger's power: "Grandpa said when will the wheat be harvested?"

Wang Biao gave Maizi a seat, "I will collect it tomorrow. I have finished harvesting. The weather is good these days, so I have to hurry up to dry it. By the way, my wife, I have to go to Harbin tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see the cabbage growing machine. Manual planting is too labor-intensive." gone."

"Can't our family grow grass?" Shen Na asked.

"That won't work. It's too dense. After the Chinese cabbage is planted, it will become small rapeseed." Wang Biao laughed.

Shen Na snorted, "Then how much does this machine cost?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask."

While speaking, there was already a crackling sound.

A hint of the smell of Hu fragrance of wheat grains gradually came out.

Wang Biao picked out a few stalks of wheat that Hui had cooked, and put them on the palm of his hand, blowing and flustering. When the grains were left, he picked up a few and threw them into his mouth to chew.

"Fragrant, delicious! Wife, try it!"

Shen Na looked at Wang Biao's palm with a beard, the wheat grains swelled and burst like rice flowers, took it curiously, but asked suspiciously: "It's delicious? It looks so dirty, it's all black. "

"It's a good thing, you taste it, if it's not good, you spit it out, don't think it's a bit dark, but it's clean and delicious!" Wang Biao strongly recommends.

Shen Na put the letter in her mouth and chewed it dubiously, her eyes lit up, and the special scent of mustard bloomed in her mouth instantly.

It's not bad.

She chewed a few quick bites.

Tasting it carefully, it smells of mustard and wheat, and it seems to have a taste like rice flower and malt sugar.

"It's really delicious. I'll ask my parents to eat it too!"

After a while, all the people in the house came out, gathered around the burnt fire, and picked ears of wheat to eat.

The old lady once again told a few people about the past: "When the production team was in the past, although we worked hard from morning to night to plant crops to serve the crops, we still couldn't get enough to eat. Most of it was handed over to the national grain bank. Send it to you people in the city to eat, although you can’t get enough to eat, but you still have to work the same, what should I do?”

After a while, she continued: "You have to figure out your own way, for example, when harvesting wheat, you can sneak some and hide them in your trouser legs, and burn them to eat later, or practice kung fu and go up the mountain to pick up waste. At that time, I would take your aunts and aunts out to scavenge waste, and I picked up a lot in the summer. Otherwise, the whole family will starve to death."

Shen Na raised her eyebrows and said, "Grandma, what you said is too scary, how can you still starve to death?"

The old man said: "Hmph, why don't people die of starvation? Your grandparents and grandma are actually brothers and sisters. Your uncle and second master just starved to death. Alas, it was miserable at that time. The people who starved to death have old noses."

"Later the production team was disbanded, and the land was returned to the common people. Only then did our family start to have enough to eat. The farmers have to have land in their own hands at any time, so no matter where they are, they will not be hungry." Wang Guoqiang sighed, He was often hungry when he was a child, and he ate corn leaves for many years.

"Ah?" Shen Na's sympathy and love instantly overflowed, "Husband, our family will make more delicious food in the future, buy more delicious food, and give it to grandpa and grandma, grandpa and grandma to make up for it."

When the two old babies heard this, their hearts suddenly blossomed, and they couldn't stop boasting.

Wang Guoqiang also smiled happily: "Look at how filial my granddaughter is, where can I find it?"

dinner.

on the table.

Wang Guoqiang asked: "Grand grandson, the wheat will be harvested tomorrow, where are you going to dry it? There are more than 30 catties of wheat in the 30-odd fields, and you have to dry it after harvesting, otherwise you will have to cover it all day. "

Li Guizhi also worried: "Boss, is this more than 30 catties going to dry on the road? Then you have to hire dozens of people to unload the trucks, load them into the ditch and turn them over. It will cost tens of thousands of dollars."

"If you don't put it on the main road, where can you hang it? No matter how much money you spend, you have to hire it. Otherwise, if you don't dry it, the wheat will go bad." Wang Biao said.

Wang Honggang suddenly said: "Is it okay to go to the grain depot and use the drying tower to dry it? You can ask your uncle, didn't your old uncle work in the grain depot drying tower before?"

"That's right, you can call your uncle later and ask him to ask someone familiar with the grain depot to find out how much it costs. The drying towers in the grain depot are idle now, so they should be able to rent them out," Li Guizhi said. .

Wang Biao slapped his thigh, "Why didn't I look at this matter? I'll call my old uncle and ask him to ask. If the price is too high, I will hire someone to dry it on the avenue. There are so many cement roads. Enough to dry."

As he spoke, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Li Hongjun, and told the story.

"This matter, wait a minute, nephew, I'll ask Director Fang, I should be able to rent it, and if it's idle, it's idle, that's fine. I'll hang up first."

Li Hongjun hung up the phone and called the old leader directly. He has worked in the grain depot for more than 20 years as a dryer, and he knows several leaders. He and the director surnamed Fang often sit together and play mahjong.

After ten seconds, the phone was connected.

"Red Army, what's the matter? Is there a game?" Director Fang asked.

Li Hongjun smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tomorrow our farm will be working. Director Fang, is the drying tower of our grain depot rented out?"

Director Wang was surprised, "Who wants to rent it? Why rent a drying tower at this time?"

"Ah, my eldest nephew rents. He has planted more than 30 fields of wheat on this farm. It's about to be harvested. I want to find a grain depot to rent a drying tower to dry the wheat. Didn't I hear that? Hurry up." Just ask the old director, don't the fat and water flow into outsiders' fields." Li Hongjun laughed.

"Red Army, you have a heart, hahaha, rent, why not rent, that thing is idle if it is idle." Director Fang laughed.

Li Hongjun said: "Then how much is the cost of this ton?"

"How much do you want first?" Master Fang asked arbitrarily.

Li Hongjun didn't hear the meaning behind his words, and said straightforwardly: "Of course, the cheaper the better, this is my second sister's family and my nephew, who has always taken good care of my family, Director Fang, you have to help me, the price is lower, so, Are you in the village? Let’s go to the dog meat restaurant for a drink.”

Director Fang smiled and said, "Oh, dear nephew, it can be cheaper, but I have to follow up with the application."

Li Hongjun didn't understand the meaning of what he said before, but this time he was very clear, "Don't worry, Director Fang, as long as you can give the lowest price, my eldest nephew will not forget your love, so I will do it right now." Let my eldest nephew drive over, and we will eat and chat."

"Okay, it just so happens that our father and I haven't had a drink together for a long time, so I'll wait for you at home."

Li Hongjun hung up the phone, this old calf, he wants to eat and take again.

After cursing, he called Wang Biao back and explained the situation. Wang Biao didn't say anything, hung up the phone and drove directly to Dahua Village.

Li's Dog Meat Restaurant.

Director Fang is a middle-aged man with thinning hair and oily face. He is about 54 or so. Although he is a bit old, his eyes are very bright.

Although he has a fat body, Wang Biao thinks that Fang is an old fritter like an old rat.

After seeing the old uncle and him having a glass of baijiu.

Wang Biao thought for a while and said again: "Men, from my uncle's point of view, we are considered our own people. Don't hide what we say. It's guesswork. You just say that you can overwhelm me at least." How much is a tun."

"Men, since you said that, then I will not be polite to you. Although your uncle and we have a good relationship and have worked together for so many years, don't look at me as a director. It sounds like a big official. In fact, I am a part-time job for someone else. Yes, there are some things that you understand, and you have to take advantage of them." Director Fang said.

Wang Biao said with a smile: "Men, I understand what you say. If you are looking for someone to do something now, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you take favors and money for this matter."

"Red Army, your big nephew is fine, you are a character, happy, no wonder you can manage such a big farm." Director Fang praised.

Li Hongjun smiled and said: "Of course, my eldest nephew is the most promising one in our old Li family. Come on, man, I respect you."

He picked up the wine glass and introduced the rest of the wine in one gulp.

Director Fang followed suit, then took two pieces of shredded dog meat and tofu stewed with dog meat, and put them in his mouth.

Wang Biao picked up the wine bottle with great insight and filled them up one after another.

"Is this grain drying calculated according to the sky, or how?" Wang Biao asked again.

"In terms of tons, normally it's [-] tons. It's our relationship. I'll talk to my superiors, and it can be almost [-] tons." Director Fang said.

Li Hongjun glanced at Wang Biao and said, "One hundred and two is too expensive, can it be lower? It's all our own family."

Wang Biao rolled his eyes and said, "Men, this is more expensive than the Anyang Grain Depot, so let's say one hundred and one tons."

"What? One hundred and one tons? So cheap?" Director Fang asked in surprise.

Wang Biao nodded and said: "It's one hundred, Wang Chaodong knows, my old uncle who opened a restaurant in Anyang originally knew the leader of their grain depot, so give me this price, man, so I won't play tricks with you, If you can lower the price to 80, I will give you this number."

He held up two fingers.

Director Fang looked at Wang Biao's fingers and seemed to feel that they were few. He didn't answer for a while, and only laughed a few times.

Wang Biao frowned, how little is two thousand?
If you are given three or four thousand, it is not enough to hire villagers to dry it. If you hire more than 30 catties of wheat, even if you hire 1 people to dry it for three days, it will only cost 2 yuan. I am afraid that it will not be dried for six days. It is cost-effective to use a drying tower for more than [-] yuan.

Isn't it a waste of time and money?

"Uncle, since Director Fang is in a difficult situation, we don't need to make things difficult for him. It's getting late and I have to go home, and I have to go and see the cows. Boss, how much is it?" Wang Biao stood up and shouted to the sister-in-law behind the somewhat dilapidated bar.

Li Hongjun was taken aback, this kid, why are you so impatient, won't you negotiate the price after the old uncle fills him with another two cups?
Just as he was about to keep Wang Biao, he saw Wang Biao winking at him, and he suddenly understood.

"Director Fang, we guys will drink again in the future, let's go together, just let my nephew send us back, otherwise we have to go back."

Director Fang didn't expect Wang Biao to be such a straightforward boss, why shouldn't there be room for bargaining?

What are you in a hurry to leave?
It can't be let go, the big goose can't be eaten, and the duck with its mouth can't let it run away.

"What are you busy with? Look at you child, you are really impatient. Don't I want to? Let's see how I can talk to my superiors to keep the price down. However, it's 60% impossible. The cost of drying a ton of corn is now Both are around [-]." Director Fang said.

Hearing this, Wang Biao sat down again and said with a smile: "That's why I'm looking for you, a powerful man. If it's possible, please contact me to see if it's okay. I'll have to do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Accept it, if the decision is not good today, I will go to Anyang or hire someone to dry it at home."

"Are you going to collect it tomorrow? In such a hurry?"

"Don't worry, there are grains falling." Wang Biao said.

Director Fang said: "Okay, then I'll make a call."

Wang Biao listened with pricked ears.

"Eighty? Eighty won't work, it's too low. It's almost no profit after labor. One hundred can't be lowered."

"Lao Yang, this drying of wheat saves more coal and electricity than corn. It can only be done at 30. If it is too high, people can't do it. It costs less than 200 to hire someone to dry it for a few days with more than [-] fields and [-] tons. Besides, This land was planted by our old employees, do you remember Li Hongjun who was in the drying tower?"

"Guild Li?" said the other side.

"Yes, it's his. Didn't you find me? After all, you have worked under us for more than 20 years. You have to give me face, and you are not an outsider."

"Oh, then, that's fine, eighty is eighty."

Director Fang hung up the phone and said with a smile: "Okay, 80 a meal. The grain depot has never made this price. Now that there are more and more private grain depots, our grain depot will be less profitable. Otherwise, Even if I give you a hundred and two, I can't dry it for you."

When Wang Biao heard it, he didn't open his eyes and smiled immediately, "Men, have another drink and order two more dishes. I think you'd like to eat the cold shredded dog meat and sauced beef."

"No, there's still some left, enough to drink."

"Is that okay? The sound is basically coriander and minced garlic." Boss, I'm serving two plates of shredded dog meat and sauced beef. Hurry up, and I'm serving a cucumber. "

The next morning, Wang Biao woke up at five o'clock in the morning.

First, he drove the loading truck to help Li Ning mix the grass for the cows. Then he followed a few people to install the hydraulic turning plow on the Black King Kong 9340, and then hung up the trucks one by one. After that, they went back to their respective homes for dinner.

Too much dew in the morning.

If it is not exposed to the sun, the wet threshing effect is not good.

It's almost 07:30.

Wang Biaocai drove the joint mobile phone that was replaced with an eight-meter-wide wheat cutting platform, and drove five tractors with large carts roaring towards the yellow wheat field in the southeast!
