The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 115 Want it all

Jiang Cheng was less and less willing to eat fish. At first, his body must have lacked oil and water, so he could eat anything. But now without seasoning, it tasted more and more fishy.

Jiang Cheng had no appetite for fish that were not from restaurants or cooked with oil. He only grilled sea fish, sea bass, razorfish, and other fish. Other freshwater fish, unless they were prepared with a lot of seasonings, would only smell good if grilled, and tasted average.

Just as I put the braised pork and some mushrooms in the space, Director Hou came back. He took a look at the dishes on the table and found that there was a lot less braised pork, but he just smiled.

"Master Jiang, let me show you this."

“Is this a hand-drawn map?”

Jiang Cheng didn't expect that Director Hou would go out and give him a map drawn on a piece of paper. He didn't understand what it meant.

"Master Jiang, your truck can carry a lot of things. Since you are not going to the city to transport goods, how about helping me transport a truckload of things according to the route on the blueprint? I allow you 10% of the loss." Director Hou picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, put it into his mouth after he finished speaking, and chewed slowly while waiting for Jiang Cheng's reply.

Ten percent loss, one ton of cargo gives him 200 kilograms of benefits, and it is not known what it is. But Jiang Cheng feels that it will definitely not be the cabbage grown outside.

"What are you transporting? My car is loaded with goods. Can it be transported out?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"As for the pork and mutton, Master Jiang, as long as you agree, we will park the car in a good place and load it for you before dawn. You can set off early tomorrow morning. No one at our farm will stop you." Director Hou said. Just like Jiang Cheng thought, he was not willing to buy cheap things.

Moreover, some things are not enough for him to eat alone. He is just a person in charge of logistics. There are many things he needs to take care of.

It is said that if you don't take it and I don't take it, how can Commissioner Geng take it? If Commissioner Geng doesn't take it, how can we make progress?

When Jiang Cheng heard that it was pork and mutton, he was a little tempted. He didn't care about the 10% commission, he just wanted to get pork and mutton himself.

Jiang Cheng took out a cigarette and handed one to Director Hou, then lit one for himself and asked, "What are these meats sent over there for?"

"Of course it was sold. There are people to deal with it over there. I'll give you an invoice. As long as you send it over there, someone will pay you for the loss." Director Hou said without any hesitation.

Sell ​​for money? If it was just selling for money, it would be easy, Jiang Cheng has a lot of money now. Sometimes, in order to hurry, he would not go into the county town if there were forks in the road that could lead directly to the destination.

There are too few restaurants in the county town, but you can easily find a few restaurants in the city.

Jiang Cheng didn't even count how much money he had, but it was at least around fifteen hundred.

Jiang Cheng didn't have the sense of justice to expose Director Hou or someone else who was greedy for money. And if someone dared to tell him like this, he must have some support.

Now Jiang Cheng just wants to know what their general process is. If the risk is too great, he would rather pretend he has never heard of it.

Director Hou saw that Jiang Cheng had concerns, so he was not afraid to explain it to him. In fact, no matter what they did, there was no problem with the accounts.

They have statisticians on their side, but it is impossible for them to manage the entire farm. There are purchasing stations for their pigs and sheep, but the information is not shared.

As long as the purchasing station receives the indicators required by the reclamation farm, it will eat up all the excess and the farm will not do anything if they don’t sell it.

Director Hou mainly targeted pigs and sheep that were beyond the purchase quota. The map he gave Jiang Cheng was actually mainly to bypass the two local vehicle inspection routes. Without this map, Jiang Cheng would definitely be stopped if he pulled a truckload of goods without a proper transportation bill.

Bypassing two vehicle inspection points, and arriving at a place called Shitang Village, where there is a secret parking spot, Jiang Cheng just needs to find someone.

The current market price of pork is around 65-70 cents depending on the location, but the price of live pigs at recycling stations is more than 40 cents. Although the price of live pigs cannot be calculated according to the market price of pork, after all, it includes pig blood, internal organs and offal.

But according to the proportion of meat output, the purchase price is actually just about the meat output price. The pig offal, bones, and pig blood are taken away without paying.

If you just calculate it this way, then there is nothing to worry about for some worthless pig offal and bones. But you need meat coupons to buy meat. If you don't have meat coupons, you can sell them on the black market and the price will more than double.

Director Hou sold the excess pigs to the purchasing station, and a fat pig was sold for about 100 yuan. But if he found someone to deal with it and remove the miscellaneous items, he could get double the price by the time he bought it.

At that time, we will make up for the pigs we disposed of according to the purchase price, and the extra pigs can be divided. If we can really cover up everything, then we probably don’t even need to make up for the pigs we disposed of.

As for sheep, it is even cheaper. In this era, beef and mutton are not as expensive as fatty pork. Without fat, mutton still smells bad. In the market, mutton costs only 40 to 50 cents per pound.

Even though mutton is cheaper than pork, people who don't know how to prepare it are unwilling to buy it.

"Director Hou, how much do you want to send over?" Jiang Cheng asked. He wanted to know how much there was in total. If it was more, he would see if he could take part of it. If it was less, he would take all of it.

"Four pigs and three sheep. If you don't mind, I can give you a set of pig offal for your trip." Director Hou replied that there is a special farm for breeding here, and this is the amount that can be shipped at one time. If there are more, they are worried that they can't keep up with the growth rate.

Moreover, the farm has to prepare a lot of pigs for the New Year and other festivals, and only a few pigs will be produced every one or two months.

And besides pigs and sheep, this is not the only project that can make money here.

"Director Hou, if it's just four pigs and three sheep, why don't you find someone to kill them and sell them all to me directly? I can give you cash immediately." Jiang Cheng took a sip of wine and said what he thought without hiding anything.

After hearing what Jiang Cheng said, Director Hou hesitated for a while and said, "Master Jiang, I believe you can afford the money. But if you want to eat it yourself, I can help you get out of this reclamation farm. Even if the map I gave you can only avoid two checkpoints, you can't transport it back to Changcheng."

"Director Hou, don't worry. Since I can ask this, I must have my own way. I guarantee that you will not be implicated. Besides, I will give you the cash immediately. I would never joke about such a large sum of money." Jiang Cheng said. He felt there was a chance. If Director Hou didn't have this idea, he wouldn't have asked this.

After a long time, Director Hou nodded and began to discuss the price with Jiang Cheng. In fact, when Jiang Cheng was asked to transport the goods to the other side, they would take their share after selling them and send the money over.

Now Jiang Cheng paid directly, which saved him a lot of trouble. Director Hou would not pay Jiang Cheng according to the black market price, after all, the contact person also had to make some money.

In the end, Jiang Cheng was paid 90 cents per pound, which was twice the price of the purchasing station. Director Hou found someone to help him kill the pigs at 3 or 4 in the morning, and sorted out the pig's offal for him.

As for sheep, there are not many here. They are raised as a by-product and are very cheap. In some remote pasture areas, a sheep may not even sell for ten yuan.

They are all sheep weighing about 30 kilograms. Sheep cannot produce as much meat as pigs, and sheep skin is expensive. If you know how to process it, you can sell it for a few yuan. Pure mutton is only 50 cents per pound, and a sheep can produce more than 10 kilograms of meat without the skeleton.

In Gan Province, Director Hou also asked Jiang Cheng about it, but he didn't know how to deal with sheepskin. He just killed the sheep for him, and didn't charge ten yuan for each sheepskin.

Jiang Cheng had no objection to the price. Ten yuan per sheep, three sheep only cost thirty yuan. He sold half a sack of fish for the money.

After discussing everything, Jiang Cheng and Director Hou didn't hesitate and started eating.

A bottle of wine, not much to drink, after all, there are things to do in the evening. Director Hou asked Jiang Cheng to take the rest to drink on the road, a big bowl of braised pork, except for a part that Jiang Cheng hid, all of it was eaten.

Director Hou did not arrange any room for Jiang Cheng to rest, and asked Jiang Cheng to wait in his car. It was still early, and Director Hou had to arrange for tonight's operation. He also had to go home and talk to his family, and then he could only sleep in the first half of the night.

Jiang Cheng didn't mind where he slept, as he was used to sleeping in the car.

　In fact, many things cannot be written, and if they are written, they will be harmonious.

　　Go to sleep, see you tomorrow~.
