Chapter 118 Ward Rounds (Updated for Pudong Taotao)



The next day, Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli rode their tricycles and headed straight to the countryside in the suburbs to buy bacon and sausages.

Because their demand was not small and time was rather urgent, the two of them did not have much time to bargain with the villagers. As soon as Yuan Fangguo arrived in the village, he directly put up a sign and shouted loudly through the loudspeaker.

At this time, the New Year's Eve was almost over. Someone was seen buying bacon at the village entrance. The price was one yuan per pound more expensive than fresh pork in the market, and many villagers gathered around.

The loudspeaker also clearly told them that it was a fixed price and no bargaining.

However, some villagers still came to ask Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli if they could give them a higher price.

"We don't bargain, but your bacon is no matter how fat or lean it is, that's the price."

The villagers’ living standards are not high at the moment, and many families have been eating bacon for a month or two. They have been holding their breath and can’t wait to taste the fresh pork.

Soon, villagers came over one after another with bacon and sausages.

Hand over goods and pay at the same time.

The two men spent the whole day running to several villages and collected nearly 700 to 800 kilograms of bacon and sausages.

In the next two days, Li Chunli did not go to the countryside with Yuan Fangguo to buy bacon, but Gao Dapeng went with them instead.

Li Chunli spent a day to get the transport truck ready and bought a plane ticket to Guangzhou.

On the last day, Yuan Fangguo and Gao Dapeng only stayed outside for half a day, changed direction halfway, and headed straight for Damiao Town.

Zhao Yong had already taken leave, and when he met his second brother, Yuan Fangguo had also obtained his driver's license. Li Chunli's driver's license had not been obtained so quickly, but Yuan Fangguo was not in a hurry.

The two discussed some things about the trip to Guangzhou. Each of them took turns driving for six hours, and it would take about twelve hours for each person to reach Guangzhou.

This trip to Guangzhou is mostly mountainous. In order to protect himself, Zhao Yong even proposed to buy two machetes as self-defense weapons. He even prepared two stab-proof vests to carry with him.

Although stab-proof clothing is a bit bulky to wear, if you really encounter those desperate criminals, it can definitely save their lives at the critical moment. In this kind of situation, it is better to be afraid of ten thousand things than to be afraid of ten thousand.

After thoroughly preparing all the details, Yuan Fangguo and Gao Dapeng left the temple.

After returning to the stationery store, Li Chunli took him to drive the truck back.

The memory cells of driving in his previous life were still there. When he got into the driver's seat and touched the steering wheel, Yuan Fangguo's emotions suddenly became excited. He started the engine, shifted gears, and stepped on the accelerator, all in one go.

Li Chunli and Yuan Fangguo both set off on the same day. The difference was that Li Chunli's flight was in the afternoon. After arriving in Guangzhou, her main task was to contact Ahua and tell him about their needs. The other task was to find out the specific locations of the factories around Guangzhou, where they would sell sausages and bacon.

Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli got up early in the morning. The restaurants near the school were open at this time. The school would start in less than a week. After having breakfast at a nearby restaurant, Yuan Fangguo, Li Chunli, Yang Xuexiu and Gao Dapeng loaded more than 2,000 kilograms of bacon and sausages onto the truck.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Yuan Fangtai brought Zhao Yong over in the company's sidecar.

The two men checked the truck again and made sure that the water, electricity and oil were full before getting into the cab.

Yuan Fangguo drove first. Even Zhao Yong, an experienced driver who drove for leaders, didn't expect his driving skills to be so good.

In his previous life, Yuan Fangguo often worked in Myanmar. The terrain there was more complex and harsh than that in Bashu. It was in such an environment that he developed his excellent driving skills.

In the city, Yuan Fangguo's speed did not exceed 60 yards per hour, but once he left the city, he immediately increased his speed to 80 yards per hour.

Along the way, the two took turns driving, and it took almost 30 hours. Finally, they arrived in Guangzhou at around five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day.

This time they stayed in the same hotel as last time.

Li Chunli also looked tired. She had run to several places today and done all the necessary preparations.

This time they still chose to trade with Ahua at Baishapo.

In the evening, the three of them had a drink at a food stall outside. The ice-cold beer immediately swept away the fatigue of Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong. They looked energetic when they talked, and it was hard to tell that they had driven a long distance.

While having supper, Li Chunli took out a map and marked out the geographical locations of several factories she had found today for Yuan Fangguo. These factories were large factories with at least several thousand employees, and were located next to each other in a row. They were the result of the large-scale development of industrial parks in Guangzhou in recent years.

"We have four days to stay in Guangzhou. We will spend two and a half days selling bacon and sausages, half a day at the clothing market, and the other day at the electronics market." Yuan Fangguo said after taking a sip of beer.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll go to the Thirteenth Hong Wholesale Market to check out the goods. On the last day, we'll look for Ah Hua at Baishapo."

Yuan Fangguo continued, "There's a lot of goods this time, so we still have to inspect them carefully."

There are only three of them, so compared to the last time when seven or eight people helped to inspect the goods, their efficiency is definitely much lower.

However, Zhao Yong also has comrades in the army at Baishapo. He told Yuan Fangguo that he plans to go to his comrades tomorrow night to see if he can find more than ten people to help inspect the goods.

It is easier to get things done with more people. Yuan Fangguo and Li Chunli both agreed. They also did not want the soldiers to work for nothing, and paid each person 150 yuan a day.

"Okay, I'll talk to them later." Zhao Yong agreed readily.

After the three of them had a midnight snack at a food stall, they went shopping in a nearby shopping mall. Zhao Yong bought some things for his wife and children, and Li Chunli also bought some high-end cosmetics for Mrs. Wu's daughters. Then the three of them returned to the hotel.

In the middle of the night, the police happened to come to check my room.

Zhao Yong took out his ID calmly.

"Our leader lives next door, so please don't disturb him." Zhao Yong said with a smile.

When the police saw that they were from the military, they did not make things difficult for them. After asking them to be careful, they left quickly.

Although the police did not investigate them and Li Chunli, the results of that night were quite fruitful. Yuan Fangguo and Zhao Yong both accidentally saw dozens of disheveled men and women squatting in the corner of the corridor.

Those girls were very young, and some even looked no different from junior high school students.

The two couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed.
