The county has buses going to the provincial capital, but they still have to go the distance from the village to the county town by themselves.
Zhang Degen prepared the ox cart early in the morning, loaded all the soaps he was going to take to the provincial capital on the cart, and waited for them.
"Uncle Degen, I asked you to put out some extra soap. Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll forget what you said. This bag was packed separately."
Li Miaomiao nodded and looked at Accountant Wu. "Uncle Wu, take out half of these soaps. When we get to the county, give them to the transport team's driver."
Accountant Wu was not surprised to hear what Li Miaomiao said. They were going all the way to the provincial capital. Although Secretary Ying had greeted them, they were riding in a transport team's car, so it was reasonable for them to maintain good relations.
"Guoan wife, this soap is not cheap. Even if the three of us take the bus, three bars of soap are enough. There's no need to take so much, right?"
Accountant Wu saw that there were twenty bars of soap in the bag. If he took out half of it, that would be ten bars, which was too much.
"Uncle Wu, that's not how it works. Think about it this way. If we're successful in our negotiations in the provincial capital this time, how are we going to get the wrapping paper back? We can't just go to the paper mill in the provincial capital ourselves every time and take the bus to get it back."
Accountant Wu really planned this before
Li Miaomiao knew what Accountant Wu was thinking as soon as she saw his expression.
"Taking the shuttle bus to bring the wrapping paper back is fine once or twice, and it won't be a problem over time. Besides, we need a lot of goods, so using the shuttle bus is not suitable. It delays both manpower and work."
Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu now understood what Li Miaomiao was planning.
"Guoan's wife, how come you're so smart? You always think ahead of the curve. If we can get the stuff back via the transport team, that would be the best."
"Of course it would be best. If the comrades of the transport team are willing to help, bringing back the wrapping paper would just be a side job for us. We wouldn't have to send people back every time and go through all that trouble. We could just go directly to the county town to pick up the goods. It would be best if we could establish a good relationship with the comrades of the transport team. Although the county leaders are very supportive of us, we can't go to them for everything. We should solve things on our own if we can."
Zhang Degen and Accountant Wu both agreed with Li Miaomiao's words: "That's right. We don't have the face to ask our superiors for help every time, so we have to think of more solutions ourselves."
Accountant Wu no longer felt bad about the things. "Okay, leave this to me. Don't worry, Guoan's wife. I can't do other things, but I will definitely take care of this."
Li Miaomiao nodded. "I've found out. The one going to transport the paper this time is the captain of the transport team. He has some power. At least he can make the final decision on small matters like this in our village. As long as you can establish a good relationship with him, you won't have to worry about transporting the wrapping paper back."
"Guoan wife, you've come this far. If I still can't complete the task, then I don't need to be an administrator anymore and can just go home and eat dry rice."
Li Miaomiao nodded. With Accountant Wu around, she didn't have to worry about these things.
"Uncle Wu, I know what you are capable of. As long as you have the determination, you can definitely succeed."
When they arrived at the transport team, Lin Chaosheng was already waiting at the agreed place. When he saw Li Miaomiao and her group coming, he greeted them warmly.
Not to mention that this was the person his leader personally asked him to bring with him, but now the reputation of the Fanglin Village soap workshop has spread. At least in Tong County, everyone knows that there is such a new soap workshop, and the soaps it makes are better than any sold by the supply and marketing cooperative before.
"Captain Lin, I'm really sorry to trouble you."
Accountant Wu went up to shake hands with Lin Chaosheng and tried to get close to him.
This made them feel closer to each other, and the benefits given by Fanglin Village were real, so how could Lin Chaosheng not be happy? He also took special care of them, and the atmosphere became better for a while.
Lin Chaosheng and his apprentice were also on the truck. Naturally, Li Miaomiao and the other two could not sit in the front. Instead, they sat on the truck bed with the soap they brought from the village.
Although the road was a bit bumpy, it was much better than an ox cart. Not to mention that the car was relatively smooth, the road to the provincial capital was a well-maintained cement road, not as bumpy as the road to the village.
Li Miaomiao's greatest advantage is her ability to adapt to the environment. During the more than three-hour journey, she chatted with Accountant Wu and Wang Chunhua for a few words at the beginning, and then fell asleep.
It’s a pity that I can’t take out the recliner in the system space, otherwise it would definitely be more comfortable to sleep on the recliner.
When they arrived in the provincial capital, they took the letter of introduction and certificate issued by the village and stayed in a guesthouse.
Li Miaomiao wanted to have a room to herself, which would be convenient for everything. But in fact, the village paid for their trip, and it was not easy for her to act independently and get a room by herself. She could only share a room with Wang Chunhua.
"One dollar and fifty cents a night for a room is too expensive!"
Wang Chunhua, the front desk staff at the guesthouse, did not say anything. But when he got to the room, he could not help but complain.
"The guesthouse in our county town only costs one yuan a night. The provincial capital is the provincial capital, everything is expensive. We should go back early after finishing our business, otherwise we can't afford to spend money like this."
"Auntie, if you think about the current income of our workshop, you won't feel sad anymore."
Li Miaomiao looked at Wang Chunhua's painful expression and understood her feelings very well. After all, in the village, they didn't spend much money all year round and had to live frugally. But here, everything had to cost money.
"Auntie, please pack your things first. I'm going to go out for a walk, take a look at the surrounding environment, and buy some food."
Although Li Miaomiao really wanted to lie down, in order to go back to see the little one earlier, she still had to finish her things quickly.
Before going out, Li Miaomiao specially brought a few bars of soap with her.
"Miaomiao, can you do it alone? How about I accompany you?"
"No need, Auntie, just pack your things. I'll go by myself. Besides, it's more convenient for me to go alone to get information. It's not easy to bring others with me."
Wang Chunhua quickly nodded to show that she understood. Her family member had told her before she came that she was there to help, not to cause trouble. It didn't matter if she didn't understand, she just had to listen to Li Miaomiao.
"That's fine. I don't understand these serious matters either. If there's anything I can do for you, just tell me."
Li Miaomiao nodded and went out, thinking in her mind how to meet Pei Guoan.
She chose to live here because it was close to the provincial transport team. Lin Chaosheng brought them here by the way, so it was convenient to contact them. Another reason was that it was not far from where the male protagonist lived.
