Sun Weiguo, who was standing by, approached Chu Tian and said, "Brother Tian, ​​I've noticed that whenever I'm with you, the staff I meet are always very friendly..."

Chu Tian glanced at the two middle-aged women cracking melon seeds and chatting behind the counter, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why? Are all the things you encounter bad?"

Sun Weiguo curled his lips and said in an unhappy tone, "Isn't it bad? I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy linen for you a few days ago. I saw several bundles on the shelf, but she only sold me one bundle and mocked me, saying that I was just a farmer!"

Chu Tian patted his shoulder soothingly, "I'm not wrong. You're a fellow farmer!"

Sun Weiguo was shocked, and said with a wronged tone, "Brother Tian, ​​you, how can you say that to me..."

Chu Tian laughed. "What's wrong with the fellow villagers who farm? Don't those who work in the regiment farm eat the food grown by the fellow villagers? Weiguo, I tell you, regardless of status, as long as you are down-to-earth in your life and work, there is nothing to be ashamed of!"

After a pause, he couldn't help but sneer, "Besides, no one can predict what the iron rice bowl they are eyeing will be like in the future..."

Sun Weiguo opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard the staff member calling Chu Tian.

"Comrade, here are your payment slip and delivery slip..."

Chu Tian glanced at the address and name, and after confirming that they were correct, he put them in his arms, smiled at her and nodded, "Thank you..."

After that, he took Sun Weiguo away. They had to go to Li Gang to discuss the glass bottle issue before dark.

Li Gang listened to what Chu Tian said, pondered for a moment, and then knocked on the table and said, "I can ask our boss to get a batch of glass bottles from the glass factory in the city, but that will have to wait until after the New Year. Now all the factories have started to close for the holidays..."

"That···"

Chu Tian thought that he could just sell it after the New Year. The oil wouldn't run away anyway, and people were short of oil these days. He could sell it anytime, so why rush?

Unfortunately, before Chu Tian could finish his words, he heard Li Gang muttering, "But before the New Year, I could sell a pound of oil for nearly a dollar more than before the New Year! Oh, I really don't want to miss this good opportunity..."

Chu Tian, ​​"..."

Sun Weiguo and Xu Fei beside him looked at each other, and after a while Xu Fei said tentatively.

"Brother Gangzi, what do you think about us not selling them individually, but setting up a tank like the supply and marketing cooperatives and selling them there?"

Li Gang thought about it for a moment, then stood up and clapped his hands excitedly, "Oh, this idea works!"

Then he looked at Chu Tian, ​​who was still a little confused, and said excitedly, "Brother Chu, you ask someone to put the oil in a tank and transport it here. I will ask the buyer to bring his own bottle or any container that can hold the oil."

Chu Tian didn't quite understand what Xu Fei said when he first heard it, but after listening to Li Gang's description, he understood what it meant. It was the same as the soy sauce and vinegar sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Sure, but I don't have a tank to hold the oil..."

Li Gang stood up suddenly and walked straight to a jar in the corner of the main room. "How about this? I bought it last year. I originally wanted to take it home to use as a rice jar, but because I had a rice jar at home that had been used for many years and was still in good condition, I forgot to take it back..."

Chu Tian stood up and walked over after hearing this. He looked it up and down and found that it was not very big, only about 70 or 80 centimeters high and about 50 centimeters in diameter. He frowned slightly and said, "It can be, but we don't know how much it can hold..."

Before Li Gang could speak, he heard Xu Fei take over.

"I know that. In the summer, I used it to fill nearly three buckets of water. My bucket can hold about 20 kilograms of water, so after three buckets, it would be full, about 50 to 60 kilograms. But if you use it to hold oil, you definitely can't fill it to the brim, otherwise the carriage will shake and the oil will spill. I think a tank of 30 to 40 kilograms, or 70% full, is about right?"

Sun Weiguo said weakly, "But, your calculation is not certain... I think we should get a scale and weigh the tank, then weigh it again when it is filled with oil, and then subtract the weight of the tank..."

Chu Tian glanced back at Sun Weiguo with admiration in his eyes, then turned to Li Gang and said, "Brother Li Gang, they say brothers should settle accounts clearly. If we want to do business for a long time, I think it's better to calculate the weight and money clearly."

"What do you think?"

Sun Weiguo clearly saw Chu Tian looking at him with admiration, and his face turned red with excitement.

"Can."

Li Gang thought about it for a moment and nodded slowly. To be honest, he wanted to let Chu Tian suffer a little loss, but after listening to what Chu Tian said, he felt that Chu Tian was a really trustworthy person, bright and upright!

Upon hearing this, Xu Fei quickly ran to get the scale for weighing the grain. After weighing it, he found that the jar weighed exactly twenty pounds.

Chu Tian looked at the vat, which didn't look very big, and hesitated. "Twenty kilograms? If we add about forty kilograms of oil, it will be sixty kilograms. Will you be able to unload it easily? This is not like a bag of grain that is easy to carry..."

Li Gang shook his head in amusement, "Brother Chu, how much do you look down on me, your brother? Let alone this jar of oil weighing 60 kilograms, even if it weighed 80 kilograms, we could still lift it. Even if we can't lift it, we still have two of us, right?"

After saying that, he did not forget to look at Xu Fei and Sun Weiguo. Seeing that they both nodded, he looked at Chu Tian again, with an expression that said, "Look, what I said is true!"
