Yun Ningyan found a place and changed her clothes.
Huo Junshan came looking for them, and the two walked together toward the rented warehouse.
Huo Junshan led her through a maze of turns to a small courtyard.
Opening the door, Yun Ningyan inspected each of the rooms and decided to put the grain in the two largest rooms.
She calculated the quantity and waved her hand, and 5,000 jin of rice appeared in the room.
Next, she went to two other rooms, where flour appeared. After thinking for a moment, she produced another 1,000 jin of corn.
Huo Junshan nodded: "This 1,000 jin of corn is fine. Those who are short of money can buy coarse grains."
Yun Ningyan patted Huo Junshan and teased, "Boss Huo, the goods are all ready. I need to make sure the payment arrives in my account tomorrow!"
Huo Junshan nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, I'll give you every penny tomorrow."
Huo Junshan prepared the money needed for this trip and decided to go back and bring Yang Dasheng over. They would stay here that night, otherwise he was really worried about having so much food.
The two locked the door and headed towards the guesthouse.
Huo Junshan knocked on Yang Dasheng's door and said, "Let's stay at the warehouse. We'll go buy some daily necessities later."
After packing their luggage, the group headed in that direction.
When they were leaving, the woman named Sister Jing was a little reluctant to part with them.
Yang Dasheng asked, "Brother Huo, why are you thinking of staying over there? It's not like we can't afford a guesthouse."
Huo Junshan: "We need to store goods over there, so someone has to be there to watch over it. Otherwise, are you comfortable with that?"
Huo Junshan opened the door, and the group went to find their rooms.
Yang Dasheng pushed open the door of a room and almost screamed, "My God! Brother Huo, this, this, who brought this grain? Isn't it not time yet?"
Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan also came over to take a look. Huo Junshan nodded: "That person must have come in advance. See if you have enough things."
Yang Dasheng didn't even bother making the beds; he started checking the grains one by one.
Finally, Yang Dasheng discovered that everything was still there, and there was even an extra 1,000 jin of corn.
"Brother Huo, there's an extra 1,000 jin of corn."
Huo Junshan nodded: "A lot is fine, just pay up, we need this stuff anyway."
After tidying up, Yang Dasheng went out to buy things. He bought two pairs of blankets to put under his body, and then bought three pairs of thin blankets to cover himself with.
I also bought a mosquito net because there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and they are all very big. One bite leaves a welt that is incredibly itchy.
In the end, he bought a knife and a cutting board; he couldn't eat out every day.
He had bought almost everything and then went home with his purchases.
I don't know how many days I can stay here. If it doesn't work out, I'll just take it with me and take it wherever I go!
He returned to the courtyard and began making the bed: "Brother Huo, do you think this is okay? If not, let's go buy another one!"
Huo Junshan brought it over. Actually, his and Yun Ningyan's room was already prepared, but Yang Dasheng's purchases were also indispensable, except for a mattress on the bed.
Yun Ningyan stayed in the room thinking about how to make a deal with the group.
The appointed time is approaching.
She decided to use the space directly, enter the space, dress up after exiting, and then let us knock on the door directly.
Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng came out to open the door. Upon seeing the person, they handed her the money they had prepared. Yang Dasheng asked, "How much is the extra 1,000 jin of corn? We'd like to collect it!"
Yun Ningyan: "5 points, that'll make it easier to settle the score!"
Five cents a pound, 1000 pounds would cost 50 yuan.
The transaction involved 5,000 jin of rice at 7 mao per jin, which is 3,500 yuan, and 4 mao per jin of flour, which is 4,000 yuan, for a total of 7,500 yuan.
But when the two men gave her 7,550 yuan, she said, "It's only 50 yuan, I don't want it, consider it a gift!"
Yang Dasheng happily saw her off.
Huo Junshan locked the door, and Yang Dasheng said with a smile, "Brother Huo, shall we go do some business? How about this afternoon?"
Huo Junshan nodded: "Okay! The sooner the better! Let's go this afternoon!"
They didn't linger and left after lunch.
Yun Ningyan stayed at home by herself. After all, there was so much grain at home, and she wouldn't feel at ease leaving without it. After they reached an agreement, they might come back to collect the grain soon, so she couldn't go out even if she wanted to.
Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng went out and bought a bicycle.
The two rode their old-fashioned bicycles, going from factory to factory.
Their first target was the steel plant, which had the most people. The gatekeeper was an old man, and Huo Junshan didn't immediately say he wanted to see the factory manager or anything like that.
Instead, they said they came looking for work; they had come to visit relatives, but couldn't find any, so they wanted to find work to support their family.
The old man felt a pang of sympathy for the two when he heard about their tragic past.
He said, "The factory isn't hiring right now. The factory doesn't have enough grain to feed so many people. There's a serious food shortage right now."
They were already in disguise. The old man looked at them and sighed, "Alas! People in other places can only eat one meal a day. There's a severe food shortage right now, and the factory isn't hiring!"
Huo Junshan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I heard from others that Director Wang is very anxious and hasn't been able to get any grain yet!"
The old man had no idea he was being tricked. He said, "That's Factory Director Li. There's no Factory Director Wang in the factory. Is the person who gave you this information unreliable? Don't be fooled!"
Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng exchanged a glance. Huo Junshan smiled at the old man and said, "Grandpa, you're right. We might have misheard. If they're not hiring, we'll look elsewhere."
The old man nodded: "Go ahead, there are plenty of factories in the city, and if all else fails, you can go to other cities to take a look!"
After the two left, they changed out of their gear and went back to the steel mill. This time, they said directly, "Grandpa, we're looking for Director Li. It's about the grain!"
The old man didn't recognize the two men at all. Although he felt that the two men were somewhat familiar, he didn't dare to delay at all when he heard that it was about grain.
Go to the factory immediately.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, the old man came out following a man in his forties or fifties.
Seeing the two men's surprised expressions, Director Li asked, "Did you say there was grain?"
He was a little puzzled. At this time, who could have such great ability to obtain food?
Even those above don't have many good solutions.
Because the amount of grain allocated to them was too small, and the province was too poor!
Factory Director Li stared intently into the eyes of the two men, as if trying to see through them to determine whether they were telling the truth or just making fun of him.
But the person in front of him kept staring at him, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.
Finally, Huo Junshan spoke first: "Director Li, how about we find a place to talk in detail?"
A glimmer of hope rose in Director Li's heart, and he immediately said, "Alright, let's go to my office then!"
