Thirteen new grain storages were built at the Sijitun Grain Depot last year, and a row of warehouses that were previously used to store grain has been left idle. The row of houses is about thirty meters long and thirteen or fourteen meters wide.

In summer, the doors of these houses are kept open to increase ventilation and dissipate the moisture inside the house.

Li Guangyin and Comrade Wang Tang spent a long time looking around these houses.

The warehouse was very tall, more than five meters from floor to roof. There was nothing on the concrete floor except a few rags piled in one corner.

There are some very small air vents on the north wall very close to the eaves, and swallows fly in through the air vents and build nests on the roof of the warehouse.

Comrades Wang and Tang were very satisfied.

"If the materials cannot be transported in time, it would be a good idea to lay some moisture-proof materials on the floor of this room as a temporary storage place," said Comrade Tang.

Comrade Wang nodded.

"Then let's discuss with the head of the grain depot and rent this row of houses."

"Where's Xiao Wan?"

"I'm going to pick up girls." Li Guangyin said without hesitation.

"This kid, call him over."

Zheng Song is the youngest among the people here, and running errands is his specialty.

Zheng Song suddenly ran out of the warehouse and ran towards Wan Feng.

"Cousin, Comrade Wang is calling you."

Hearing Zheng Song's call, Wan Feng stood up and said, "Old classmate, I have something to do and need to go over there. We can talk again when we have time."

Zang Yunli smiled and nodded.

Wan Feng walked quickly to the warehouse.

"Comrade Wang, Comrade Tang! What do you think?"

"Xiao Wan, come and take a look, is this warehouse okay?"

"Just watch carefully, I'm just an assistant."

"We think this place is great. There's a dock just 50 meters away. If anything happens in the future and materials can't be transported in time, this place can be used as a temporary storage area."

"Since you're interested, discuss it with the grain depot leader."

A group of people came out of the warehouse and prepared to find the leader of the grain warehouse.

But before they could go find the grain warehouse leader, the grain warehouse leader arrived first.

The leader of the grain warehouse saw a group of people entering the warehouse in his office. Although there was nothing in the warehouse except rats, he still had to come out to take a look.

"Who are you? The warehouse is a restricted area and not everyone can enter casually."

Comrade Wang greeted him with a smile: "Are you the head of the grain depot?"

The grain depot leader acted in an official manner: "I am the director of the grain depot. What do you do?"

Comrade Wang took out his ID and handed it to the grain warehouse leader.

The grain depot leader took the ID and looked at it, his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees: "So you are from the army? Welcome! My last name is Su."

Comrades Wang Tang and Leader Su from the grain depot went aside to whisper.

Wan Feng also started to discuss with Zhang Xian and Li Mingdou from Han Guang's family.

"We need two or three people stationed here. Goods traded with the other side will still be settled at Heihe. The task of the people here is just to count the numbers and so on. Third brother! Who do you think should be stationed here?"

"Let me come here. Zheng Song can also come. Let's send another person. How about Uncle Chen come?" Zhang Xian spoke first.

Ever since he came to Heihe, he has been strolling around all day long, doing almost nothing and just waiting to die. This is not his character.

Although I just sit here, at least I am doing something.

There is no need to compete in drinking with the Soviets for the time being, so having Chen Dao come and take charge is also a good choice.

Wan Feng thought for a moment and said, "Alright, you and Zheng Song... Hey! Where's Zheng Song?"

"You two brothers are really something. After you pick up a girl, your cousin takes over. You two brothers are planning to be hooligans to the end." Li Mingdou said without saying a word.

Wan Feng turned his head and saw that Zheng Songzheng and Zang Yunli were gesturing and talking about something.

"Stop talking nonsense. That girl is my middle school classmate. I have more than ten classmates in Sijitun."

"With your cunning mind, who knows if you didn't do anything when you were classmates in middle school, Zhang Xuan is still your classmate."

What this means is that you, classmate, are also in a relationship.

Wan Feng rolled his eyes at Li Mingdou and said, "What are you talking about? According to you, I even took action against my female classmates?"

"Almost. It seems your wife in Beiliao is also your elementary school classmate. Look, you have an elementary school classmate, a high school classmate, so the only thing missing is a junior high school classmate, right?"

That makes a lot of sense!

"Oh my! Brother, have you been fooling around with the nurse lately? Did the nurse give you an injection and open your mind? Okay, now you're starting to speak with reason and logic. From now on, you're not allowed to go out after six o'clock in the evening at the base. Hold it in."

Zhang Xian laughed heartily at the side: "Serves you right! You're so rude! Let's see what you can do this time, get ready to jump over the wall."

Only then did Li Mingdou realize the seriousness of the problem.

The young nurse is now in love and comes to see him every few days. If she is not allowed to go out, problems will indeed arise.

Comrades Wang and Tang had very smooth negotiations with the grain warehouse leaders, and this row of warehouses was rented for 3,000 yuan per year.

Wan Feng paid the money on the spot.

Comrades Wang and Tang didn't have much money on them, so Wan Feng paid the rent.

Things are progressing very smoothly, and now we have houses for people to live in and for goods to live in.

"Comrade Wang, Comrade Tang! How many people can come from your side? I need to allocate accommodation staff."

Wang Tang and the other man thought for a moment and said, "We will definitely have a squad of soldiers coming here. I guess one of us three will stay in the fields, and there will also be statisticians and accountants."

"Can you provide a more specific number? We will also have three people stationed here. I want to know how many people there are and whether the house can accommodate them."

Wang Tang and the other man counted on their fingers, "There are ten soldiers in the ordinary squad guarding this warehouse, plus the accountant, statistician, and one of the three of us, making fourteen people."

Wan Feng was a little confused: "That's all? No cook?"

"The soldiers cooked their own meals; there were no cooks."

Wan Feng scratched his head, how could this be possible.

"Comrade Wang! Comrade Tang! Let's put it this way. Three of us can come over here, plus your fourteen, making it fifteen, which means there will be eighteen people. This room will be able to accommodate us without any problem. I'll pay for the food, and then the soldiers can just focus on guarding the supplies."

"Comrade Xiao Wan, this is embarrassing. We will pay what we owe."

Wan Feng waved his hand proudly. "Don't argue with me about this. It's not much money, I'll pay for it. One more thing. When the steel arrives, we can rent a tower crane to unload it from the ship. But a tower crane can unload the material onto a truck or onto the ground, but it can't unload it into the warehouse. What should we do if we put it into the warehouse? We can't let the soldiers shuffle it around, can we? Even if they do, three or four hundred tons of steel at a time is no small amount."

Wang Tang and the others thought about it and agreed. If they only used trucks to transport three or four hundred tons, it would take thirty or forty trucks. It would be okay if the tower crane could unload the cargo directly onto the truck, but if they dumped it into the warehouse, the loaders would also be a problem.
