60s: I have a store

Chapter 228 Egg Delivery

Zhou Yimin opened the store and found that today's flash sale included 100 kilograms of eggs, 100 bags of milk powder, 100 kilograms of beef and 100 kilograms of peanut oil, so he bought them without hesitation.

The village needs eggs. One hundred kilograms of eggs means at least six or seven hundred eggs, which can just meet the requirements of Shangshui Village.

Now that I have nothing to do, I plan to send the eggs back.

When they were almost back to Zhoujiazhuang, Zhou Yimin took out the eggs and put them on the back of the bicycle.

After returning to the village, I went straight to the chicken hatchery and saw the old party secretary busy at work. After the wheat harvest, the old party secretary visited the vegetable field and the hatchery almost every day.

Zhou Yimin said, "Old Party Secretary, I brought the eggs over."

"Okay, okay! Yimin, I trust you to do the job. As for the money, it may take some time before I pay you after I sell the vegetables in the village." The old branch secretary said a little embarrassedly.

There was no other way! There wasn’t much money left in the village, and almost all of it had been used to buy the donkey.

Zhou Yimin said indifferently: "It's okay, just wait until the vegetables are picked, and I will just take it out when I purchase it."

These eggs only cost one dollar, so even if the village doesn't give me any, I won't lose much. But if this happens again in the future, I will have to pay first and then give the goods. As the saying goes, if you borrow, you must repay. It's not difficult to borrow again. I'm not a sucker.

Seeing Zhou Yimin agree, the old branch secretary was also relieved: "Okay, I'll deduct it from the vegetable money when the time comes!"

Zhou Yimin nodded and continued, "Old Party Secretary, I still have to go to Shangshui Village to deliver some things, so I'll go there first."

"Wait a minute, Yimin." The old branch secretary called out.

Zhou Yimin was a little surprised, so he asked, "Old Party Secretary, is there anything else?"

The old Party Secretary was a little embarrassed: "Yimin, I want to ask if you have two packs of good cigarettes. Our village is going to pay the public grain tax. If you have two packs of good cigarettes, it will be easier to clear the way."

If I had had better cigarettes in previous years, I wouldn’t have had to “return” them twice, wasting a lot of time.

"Hey! I thought you needed my help with something very difficult, it's just two packs of cigarettes? Here you go." Zhou Yimin said indifferently.

Then he took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over.

No matter what he wants to take out, he habitually reaches into his pocket.

When the old branch secretary saw Zhonghua, he was a little reluctant to give it to them, and said quickly: "Thank you, Yimin. Without these two packs of cigarettes, things would not have gone so smoothly. As usual, the money will be deducted from the vegetables."

"It's okay, I'll go to Shangshui Village first." Zhou Yimin said goodbye.

It's just two packs of cigarettes, there's nothing wrong with that. You can't be too nice, but you can't be too fussy either.

To be honest, Zhou Yimin himself sometimes has trouble grasping the right scale here.

Village chief Wang has been wandering around the village entrance these two days, wanting to see when Zhou Yimin will come.

Suddenly, a figure came into his sight, riding a bicycle. It was definitely Zhou Yimin. He quickly stepped forward and said hello, "Comrade Yimin, you are here."

Zhou Yimin saw that it was Village Chief Wang. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, so he joked, "Village Chief Wang, you are not waiting for me, are you?"

"That's right, Yimin, I'm waiting for you." Village Chief Wang said directly.

Suddenly, he saw something on the back seat of the bicycle and asked quickly, "Comrade Yimin, is it an egg?"

Zhou Yimin nodded and said, "Village Chief Wang is still so sharp. Here are 200 eggs, about 30 kilograms, and I'll give you 15 yuan."

You know, the price of eggs has gone up again. A pound of eggs costs 30 cents. This is based on the premise of having a ticket. If you don’t have a ticket, it would be normal even if the price doubled. It has only increased by 20 cents per pound.

Besides, these eggs are used to hatch chicks, so it is reasonable that they are a little more expensive. Village Chief Wang: "Okay, let's do as you say."

Then he took fifteen dollars from his pocket.

When Zhou Yimin saw this scene, he knew that Village Chief Wang had been prepared, otherwise he would not have carried so much money with him. You know, fifteen yuan is nearly a month's salary for those apprentices.

Then he added: "As for the food, I will transport it to the nearby area tonight, and then you can arrange for people to come and move it back."

"Okay, I'll arrange some staff right away." Village Chief Wang said happily.

At night, Zhou Yimin quietly came to a small woods near Shangshui Village, spread 7,000 kilograms of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes on the ground, and rode his bicycle to Shangshui Village.

When I saw the village, I found that Village Chief Wang was already waiting with a group of people, each of them looked like a ghost.

Village Chief Wang hurried over and said, "Yimin, hasn't the food been delivered yet?"

"That's right! Follow me." Zhou Yimin said.

After saying that, he turned around and walked back. In less than ten minutes, he arrived at the grove.

The terrifying cry of an owl could also be heard from the grove.

Zhou Yimin said, "Seven thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes have been placed here. The rest will be transported back by you. I have other things to do, so I will leave first."

"Okay, thank you Yimin." Village Chief Wang thanked.

The villagers opened the sacks and found corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes inside. Seeing these grains, the villagers of Shangshui Village were all smiles.

These days, nothing is more pleasing to the eye than food.

Then the village chief Wang began to direct the villagers to transport the goods back to the village. In order to transport the goods, all the ox carts and donkey carts in the village were pulled over. Otherwise, it was unknown how long it would take to transport the goods relying solely on manpower.

With the help of ox carts and donkey carts, it took only a few trips to transport the 7,000 kilograms of grain back to Shangshui Village.

While Village Chief Wang and his men were still transporting grain, Zhou Yimin did not return to Zhoujiazhuang, but went back to the city. He returned to the courtyard and put the grain at home. Now he just needed to ask Daniu to move it back to Widow Ma's home.

Zhou Yimin came to Widow Ma's house and knocked on the door.

The door opened immediately, and Widow Ma saw that it was Zhou Yimin, and hurriedly called him in: "Yimin, come in and sit for a while, and have a glass of water."

"Aunt Ma, you don't have to be so polite. Come over and move the corn!" Zhou Yimin said.

Widow Ma: "Okay, I'll call Daniu over now."

Then, she said towards home, "Daniu, what are you still eating there? Come over and help me."

After hearing this, Daniu quickly stood up from the table and put down the cup of water in his hand.

When they arrived at Zhou Yimin's house, Daniu took the bags of corn from the ground and brought them back to his second sister's house without saying a word.

One bag weighs about 50 kilograms, and 300 kilograms is six bags.

Even though he was hungry, because he was carrying food, it seemed as if an endless amount of strength was erupting from his body. He carried two bags at a time and walked towards Widow Ma's home.

In this way, all 300 kilograms of food were moved away in less than ten minutes.

Thanks to brother 08a for the reward, and I wish you all a happy National Day!
