Chapter 85 Liu Qi
In a flash, three days passed.
There were no major changes in Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing's lives.
late at night.
There was a knock on Zhao Yi's door.
Zhao Yi and Zhang Jing were awakened at the same time.
"Who is it late at night?"
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi puzzledly and asked.
"I don't know either. Our neighbors are not familiar with us and they probably won't knock on the door at this time. As for Director Li and the others, they probably won't do that either."
Zhao Yi muttered a few words, then got up, put on his clothes and walked to the door of the room.
"Old Five, maybe you remembered it wrongly? Zhao Yi's family doesn't live here."
Liu Qi's voice rang out.
"No, Brother Liu, I was here last time."
Zhao Laowu explained.
When Zhao Yi heard Zhao Laowu's voice, he immediately quickened his pace, turned on the light in the room, and then opened the door.
"Brother Yi."
Zhao Laowu grinned and carried a backpack on his back.
"What are you two doing so late at night? Don't you need to sleep?"
Zhao Yi asked doubtfully.
The two smiled without saying anything, walked into the room and put down the backpack. The basket was covered with straw and it was impossible to see what was inside.
"Brother Yi, we have prepared all the wild boar meat for you. It is all the best."
Zhao Laowu closed the door, then went to the backpack and removed the straw, revealing the pork inside.
"You two rushed here in the middle of the night just for these porks, aren't you afraid of slipping on the difficult mountain road?"
Zhao Yi smiled.
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Qi waved his hand. This backpack contained more than 60 kilograms of pork and 30 yuan, which was more than the salary of working in a coal mine. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, but at least two people had flashlights, so it was not dangerous if they walked slowly. But it would be different when going down into the mine.
"I don't have a scale for this pork. I can only wait until the department store opens tomorrow and then get a scale to measure how many pounds it weighs."
Zhao Yi looked at the two of them and said.
"No need to go to such trouble. We have weighed a total of 130 kilograms at home. We will send 5 kilograms to you, Brother Yi, and you can just pay us for the 125 kilograms of pork."
Zhao Laowu spoke.
Liu Qi also nodded. It was hard to guarantee that Zhao Yi would not be jealous of earning so much money at one time. It would be safer to give Zhao Yi some benefits in case he got a wild boar later and had to trouble Zhao Yi again.
"How can I do that? These are the pork you got, so you should give them as much as you want. But I need you to do me a favor. There is a lot of charcoal in the small house in my yard. Just bring it over when you have time."
Zhao Yi said with a smile.
"OK."
Liu Qi nodded. He would rather run errands than give a gift worth two dollars and fifty cents. Two dollars and fifty cents could be used to buy more than four feet of cotton cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative. Wouldn't it be warm to make a piece of clothing?
After hearing Liu Qi's agreement, Zhao Laowu didn't know what to say. He thought, what's wrong with running an errand? He could earn a lot of money from this trip. Giving away five pounds of meat would not be a big deal and it would also help to bring them closer.
However, Liu Qi agreed to it. The two of them were now in the same group. Liu Qi would lose face if Zhao Yi refuted him in front of him.
The same thing is said on the road.
"One hundred and thirty kilograms. I believe Lao Wu. This is sixty-five yuan. We haven't had time to tidy up here, and there are no extra beds. If you sleep on the floor, there are no extra quilts. You should hurry back as soon as possible."
Zhao Yi looked at the two of them and said, Zhao Yi was telling the truth.
It seems that after I finish processing the pork tomorrow, I will have to buy two beds and two sets of luggage, otherwise there will be no place to accommodate relatives who come, and the guesthouse will not be able to arrange any for me without a letter of introduction.
Liu Qi was delighted to see Zhao Yi so readily take out sixty-five yuan, but he was afraid that Zhao Yi didn't have that much money and owed him some first.
As for living in Zhao Yi's house, he had never thought about it. Now that he had so much money in his hands, he wanted to go back early. He also had a cooked pig's head at home, waiting for him to have a few drinks with Zhao Laowu.
With so much money in hand, everyone in my family can wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year this year.
The two men exchanged a few words with Zhao Yi, spread the straw in the main room, put the pork on the straw, and then walked happily towards the mountain.
"Brother Liu, you didn't handle this matter very well today."
Zhao Laowu said as he and Liu Qi walked out of East City and headed towards the mountains.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Qi was a little confused.
"Brother Liu sometimes has to suffer losses in order to maintain a relationship for a longer time. Giving Brother Yi five pounds of pork to help him run an errand is nothing to us, but Brother Yi will remember our favor.
He is a worker now, and we might need his help in the future.
If there is a next time, just listen to me. ”
Zhao Laowu looked at Liu Qi and instructed.
After hearing Zhao Laowu's analysis, Liu Qi nodded.
"Okay, you know more than me. I can make money by following you. Whatever you say is true."
Liu Qi was delighted. He was very happy about what Zhao Laowu said in private. If Zhao Laowu had refuted him at that time, he might have felt very uncomfortable.
It's not daybreak.
Zhao Yi came to the black market.
After negotiating the price with the black market manager, Zhao Yi led the other party to the place where he hid the pork and sold 100 kilograms of pork to the other party at the price of 79 cents per kilogram. Zhao Yi had his own plans for the remaining 30 kilograms of pork.
As soon as he got to work, Zhao Yi came to Director Li's office carrying two small pieces of pork.
"Sister Li, this is some pork that my relative brought over when he came to visit me in the city. Xiaojing and I are just two people, and we can't eat much, so I'd like to trouble you to help share some of it."
Zhao Yi smiled and looked at Director Li and said.
"You are such a sweet talker, okay, I will help you share some of the burden. This piece is for Director Tu, I will bring it to you later."
Director Li looked at Zhao Yi and asked.
"Sister is still smart. I will go back to work first."
Zhao Yi nodded and walked back to the repair shop.
Zhang Jing also carried two pieces of meat to work at the garment factory, but the meat in her hands was cut by herself, and each piece weighed only about one pound. The two pieces of meat were not as much as the one piece of meat that Zhao Yi gave away.
Zhang Jing went to the workshop director's office immediately.
After some refusal, the workshop director finally accepted the job and became more fond of Zhang Jing.
"master."
Zhang Jing came to her master's workstation and handed the meat to him.
"You are pregnant and you need to replenish your body. What are you doing?"
Zhang Jing's master quickly waved her hand to refuse. Zhang Jing's attitude towards her was really good. At least she was not the kind of person who was only concerned with climbing up and forgetting the people around her. She was very happy that she had this kind of heart.
"There are still some at home, and it is only natural to honor the master."
Zhang Jing forced the pork into her master's hands.
"Xiao Fang, Yi Ju will come to our house for lunch at noon."
After saying this, Zhang Jing smiled and walked towards her post.
The two saw the meat that Zhang Jing sent out and listened to Zhang Jing's call, knowing that they would have meat to eat at noon.
