60s: I have a store

Chapter 264: Following the Car to Pull Meat
Zhou Dafu asked: "Master Li, why are there two different trucks?"

“Mine is a Huanghe brand truck, and the rest are Jiefang trucks.

You just need to know that the Yellow River brand truck is the largest truck in my country, with a load capacity of eight tons, while the Jiefang truck has a load capacity of only four tons, which is twice as much," Li Feng said proudly.

He added: "There are also Huanghe brand trucks, which have not only two seats in the cab, but also a bed in the back, where you can lie down and rest when you are tired.

The Jiefang truck only has a driver's seat and a co-driver's seat, but no bed."

No matter the model or load capacity, the Jiefang trucks cannot be compared with the Yellow River brand.

But after thinking about it, it seems normal. You know, the paper data of Huanghe brand surpasses Jiefang brand trucks in almost all aspects. Otherwise, why design it?
Zhou Dafu asked cautiously: "Master Li, can I go up and take a look?"

You have to know that this is the first time I have seen a truck so close and I can even touch it. If it were in the past, I would not even dare to think about it!

"Okay, even if you don't tell me, I will make you familiar with it later." Li Feng said.

Then, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket, opened the car door with the keys, and asked Zhou Dafu to come to the driver's seat, and then said: "You can try to turn the steering wheel."

You should know that the steering of the Yellow River brand truck is much heavier than that of the Jiefang brand truck. For Li Feng, who cannot afford to buy this car, this is one of the few disadvantages.

Later, he drove a Yellow River truck, and his monthly food ration was a little more than that of a Jiefang truck driver. The monthly ration of a Jiefang truck driver was about 40 kilograms, while that of a Yellow River truck driver was 45 kilograms.

In this era, driving is a technical and physical job, so it's no wonder the pay is so good.

Chow Tai Fook was filled with excitement. He sat in the driving seat of the truck and turned the steering wheel carefully. However, something embarrassing happened. The steering wheel did not move at all. He could not help but smile awkwardly.

Li Feng also knew that when handling a truck for the first time, one would be very cautious, fearing that if one exerted too much force, the truck would be damaged. He then said, "The truck is not as fragile as you think. Use some force, otherwise you won't even be able to turn the steering wheel."

After hearing what Li Feng said, Chow Tai Fook began to use his strength, but he could only turn the steering wheel. He was not as easy as others, and his speed was not as fast as others.

Li Feng said: "You still don't have enough strength. It seems that you need to exercise more. I have to go to deliver goods in a while. You can come with me and see how I operate."

With Chow Tai Fook's turning speed, if it encounters some sharp turns, there will be only one outcome, and that is the car will be destroyed and people will die.

Chow Tai Fook was quite embarrassed. As a country man, his strength was not up to the standard, and he also underestimated the difficulty of driving a truck.

If it weren't for Uncle Sixteen who helped the village and ensured that they had enough food to eat, my strength would probably have been even weaker. At that time, even turning the steering wheel would have been a little difficult.

Li Feng said: "Come down! I'll take you to load the goods."

After hearing this, Chow Tai Fook reluctantly moved from the driver's seat to the passenger seat.

Li Feng got into the car directly and took out a Z-shaped hand crank from the car. This was the key to the truck. Cars in later generations all relied on hand cranks to start.

After cranking the car, get in with the "key" and drive directly out of the factory gate.

The security guard did a routine check and let you in.

Soon after we arrived at the factory, we drove along the road. There were not many people on the road at that time, even bicycles were few, let alone cars.

Since this is a city with good roads and no red lights, pedestrians would give way to trucks from a distance, fearing that they would delay the trucks' mission. Zhou Dafu carefully observed how Li Feng drove along the way, and when he saw how easily he turned the steering wheel, he understood the difference.

We drove like this for nearly an hour and arrived at a slaughterhouse.

"Uncle, we are from the steel factory. We are here to transport pork. This is the shipping order." Li Feng said.

Then he handed over the shipping order.

As one of the top steel mills in the country, their factory has a pork quota every month.

The security guard took it and checked it carefully. After finding that there was no problem, he said, "Okay, no problem, you can go in!"

As the old man spoke, he opened the door and let Li Feng and the others in.

The gate of the slaughterhouse was quickly opened and Li Feng drove in. Since it was not his first time to pull pork here, he did not need anyone's instructions. After a while, he drove to the designated location and waited for loading.

Since he didn't know how long he would have to wait, Li Feng turned off the fire.

Then he said, "Da Fu, I don't know how long we will have to wait before we put out the fire. You know, diesel is very precious nowadays."

"Okay, I'll remember it." Chow Tai Fook responded quickly.

After a while, a staff member of the slaughterhouse came out and trotted to the truck and said, "Master, you have worked hard. Come and have a cigarette first! The workers are still busy working. It may take another half an hour before we can start loading."

"It's not hard, it's all for serving the people." Li Feng said with a smile.

The person who handed cigarettes to Li Feng and Zhou Dafu was a man wearing a white shirt. He looked gentle and had a scholarly temperament. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary employee.

However, what the young man gave were not loose cigarettes, but two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes. You could also see that there was something sandwiched between the two packs of cigarettes, but you had to open them to find out what it was.

This was not the first time that Li Feng had encountered such a thing, so he did not hesitate to accept it.

Chow Tai Fook was surprised: Do slaughterhouses need to curry favor with them to get goods?

impossible?

You know, now those who have meat and food are the boss.

After the young man saw Li Feng accept it, he felt a little relieved, and then said: "There was an accident with a truck in our slaughterhouse. I wonder if you can help us deliver it to the Jingshan Sub-district Office in Dongcheng District?"

A man who takes favors from others is grateful for what he has received!
Everyone understands this truth. You have to know that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Li Feng thought about it. Dongcheng District was not on the way to the steel plant. If he took a detour, it would take at least half an hour. However, he just took a quick look and saw that the two packs of cigarettes were sandwiched between two one-pound meat coupons. He was reluctant to spit out what he had eaten, so he said, "Since you asked me, I will not refuse. It is all for the sake of serving the people."

When the young man heard Li Feng agree, he breathed a sigh of relief again. He finally solved the problem. He echoed, "Yes, it's all for the people."
