Chapter 575 Trip to Guizhou 3
Luo Zhao jumped out of the car immediately when he saw Pengfei and the others.
As soon as he came up, he gave Pengfei and Dongzhe a handboard each:
"You're so brave! Not only did you run away by yourself, but you also brought Xiaoting with you!"
"Brother, you happen to be in Guizhou!" Pengfei asked.
"Ah! I was supposed to be here to meet you two days ago, but my car had a minor problem on the way and was delayed. I only got here last night.
"I went to the train station and asked, and they said the goods on your train can only be picked up today. I've been waiting here since early morning. If I hadn't run into you, I would have searched the streets looking for you." Luo Zhao told the others.
"Then when are you going back?" Dongzhe looked at his empty car and swallowed.
"How can I go back?! What order is more important than you three? My current mission is to accompany you all the way until I get you on the train back to Suzhou!"
Luo Zhao glared at each of the three men, and they grinned at him.
"Brother, have you had breakfast? I'll treat you to some Changwang noodles." Pengfei pointed to the noodle stall opposite the train station.
"I've eaten it. It's expensive and tastes bad." Luo Zhao waved his hand.
"Brother, the food near the train station is not good. After we get the goods, we will go somewhere else to eat." He smiled at his eldest brother.
Pengfei introduced the two parties to each other.
There was no need to hire six laborers. They just drove the car to the square where the goods were to be picked up. They moved the goods while Xiaoting was in charge of the counting.
Seeing that Xiaoting had nothing in her hand and was only looking at the sum, the eldest brother asked Pengfei in a low voice:
"There are so many things, Xiaoting, don't you want a list or something?"
Pengfei nodded his head:
"It's in my head! It's nothing, for an economics major."
"Oh, wow, wow, so smart! Can I ask her to help me look at my accounts? I just can't figure it out."
"That's nothing. I can find the problem with you at a glance. Xiaoting is the one who looks after the accounts of the goods Dongzhe and I sell at school."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoting turns out to be the head accountant."
As she was speaking, Xiaoting said to everyone, "Brother, everyone is here!"
"Hey!" Pengfei, Dongzhe and Luo Zhao responded at the same time.
Pengfei glanced at Bai Dongzhe: "What should you do?"
"You should answer the 'brother' in the front, and I should answer the 'all gathered' in the back!" Dongzhe replied.
Everyone laughed when they heard it.
Having a car made things more convenient, so they started selling on the street directly.
The sales location was planned by Pengfei long ago.
One of the bags contained promotional posters. The posters were put on the rack first, then the oilcloth was laid out and the goods were displayed.
Luo Zhao was guarding the goods by the car. His three brothers could not help with sales, so they were responsible for physical work and serving meals.
The business was so booming that in the end, except for Luo Zhao, the three brothers also got into sales.
It turns out that since August, the rush to buy and stockpile goods has spread here, and electronic products from Guangzhou are out of reach for many people in department stores.
In the afternoon, everyone was exhausted and their throats were sore.
For dinner, I took a sip of the piping hot sour soup fish, and the taste was so sour and refreshing.
The eldest brother is a bricklayer, and the third brother is his apprentice. He has to accompany Pengfei these two days, so the two of them have not gone to work. The eldest brother has to go tomorrow anyway, so he asked the third brother to accompany them.
My second brother works on the farm with my father at home. He finds work in the city in his spare time and goes home to work during the busy farming season. In fact, it is already the busy farming season now.
In this case, Pengfei decided to let only his third brother accompany him from the next day, while his eldest and second brothers went to do their own work.
After the meal, Luo Zhao rushed to pay the bill, but his elder brother refused to let him.
He also gave money to his third brother and said that once they arrived in Guizhou, food would definitely be provided for them, no matter what else.
After sending the people to the guesthouse, the eldest brother went home with a big bag of gifts that Pengfei and others brought from Guangzhou.
When we got back and unpacked, we found that everyone had a set of summer clothes. After all, their sister Shanshan worked in a textile factory, so she had as many clothes as she wanted.
There was also a bag of food, some of which I recognized and some of which I didn't.
Pengfei counted the clothes and gave each person a set. Because the sizes were different, he wrote a name on each set.
The eldest brother took out his own, his mother's, his wife's and Zhuangzhuang's.
My aunt almost cried when she looked at the navy blue imported stretch-soft material top she had given her:
"I've never worn such fine material before! Pengfei is truly accomplished and filial."
My sister-in-law wore a white shirt with pink flowers and black pants, and she liked it very much:
"I saw this style from the Zhang family at the corner of the street. She said it cost more than ten yuan."
"My God, how much does so much cost?" said the aunt in surprise.
The eldest brother said, "Pengfei said that you should wear it if he bought it for you, otherwise he will be unhappy and won't come back to see you next time."
Zhuangzhuang got a big jar of cookies and took it out to show off to his neighbors.
In the guesthouse, Xiaoting was holding a meeting with several people in the room.
She took out a small notebook and said:
"Let's have a small meeting to summarize today's situation and make follow-up arrangements."
"She is worthy of being Sister Ling's daughter. The way she holds meetings is exactly the same as Sister Ling's." Luo Zhao exclaimed.
"Comrade Luo, you can't speak unless you are told to." Dongzhe bumped into him.
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, please continue." Luo Zhao nodded quickly to admit his mistake.
Xiaoting calculated that they could sell all the goods they brought in four to five days. However, she discussed with Pengfei and decided not to go back. Instead, they wanted to use the money they earned to purchase daily chemical products from the factory and sell them in the towns below.
Everyone is stockpiling, there are limited things in town, and not everyone has easy access to transportation, so if it’s delivered to them, they’ll definitely be willing to buy it.
Then they may buy agricultural products from the town and sell them in the city.
There are definitely individuals who resell goods, but some people are hoarding them and not selling them, waiting for the price to go up. Some people don’t have cars or money, so the volume is not as large, so the cost is much higher than theirs, and the scale seems to be even smaller.
"You guys continue to sell goods, and I will go to the daily chemical factory. I know what brands the locals like to use." Pengfei agreed.
The third brother was stunned when he heard this.
But he can help.
At night, he and Luo Zhao guarded the remaining goods in the middle of the night without blinking.
Xiaoting lived in a room by herself. Before going to bed, Dongzhe checked the room thoroughly and gave her many instructions:
"Lock the door, prop it up with a chair, and place a teacup on it. I'll sleep next to this wall. I'm a light sleeper so I can hear you. You can sleep without worry."
If you need to go to the bathroom, don't be afraid of waking us up. Knock on the door and I'll go with you. If you need anything, just blow the silver whistle, okay?"
"I know. I even brought the pepper spray my mom gave me! I slept with it in my hand."
"Oh, I didn't know you, you disappeared in ten minutes!"
Xiaoting smiled playfully at him and pulled out a braided red rope from her clothes, on which hung a copper whistle and a small bottle.
Dongzhe finally relaxed a little: "That's it."
Before leaving, he was obviously still worried and looked back with a sad face. Xiao Ting held his face and rubbed it:
"I can fight, too! Just sleep peacefully! This is the city government guesthouse, and the people staying there might be on the same level as Dad! Just relax and get some rest."
Dongzhe held her hand for a long time before letting go: "Go to sleep!"
The two looked at each other, and Dongzhe left reluctantly.
Xiaoting got up at 6:30. When she opened the door, she saw Dongzhe half-lying on a wooden sofa beside Xiaoting's door, holding the quilt.
Xiaoting seemed to have seen this sofa before. It was at the end of the corridor and was for guests to rest.
