Chapter 296 Purchase in Advance



"They won't care about that. By then, no one in our car team will be able to escape."

Li Xu: ...

After a moment of silence, Li Xu said, "I don't think anything will happen in broad daylight."

"I hope so."

The two of them chatted intermittently until they reached their destination.

Only after confirming the identities of Li Xu and others did the other party have people move the items into the car.

Since they are all living creatures, it took a lot of effort.

In this way, the car team set off on the return journey accompanied by the cries of chickens, ducks and pigs.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way and everyone arrived in Tang County safely.

After entering the county town, two of the cars drove towards the butcher shop, and the rest returned to their units.

What Li Xu didn't expect was that the open space in the motorcade was full of people.

You know, it's already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Seeing the car driving in, the crowd immediately cheered and dispersed.

After Liu Gang and the others got off the bus, the director and several other leaders asked directly, "Masters, did anything go wrong on the way?"

Master Qi shook his head. "With us here, there's nothing wrong. It's just that it's so late, why are you all here?"

Hearing this, the discussion among the crowd became louder.

Of course, there are also some praises.

The director and the others were even more delighted, saying repeatedly, "Well, well, well, our comrades in the motorcade are truly trustworthy and always complete their missions successfully."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Li Xu clearly saw that several people in the front just shut their mouths and stopped talking.

This situation made him very curious.

Unfortunately, there are too many people here and it is not convenient to ask, so I have to keep the questions in my heart.

Shen Yuan also said with a smile, "Masters, our comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative are all here. You are here to help move the goods."

When these words were spoken, the dogs all shook their heads.

If there were no benefits, would you be so proactive?

Sure enough, another director took over the conversation, "Everyone, don't just stand there, hurry up and take the things down. After you take them down, we'll weigh them and pay for them on the spot."

After receiving the instructions, the crowd rushed forward and took the chickens and ducks off the car one by one.

Li Xu and others looked at these leaders in amazement.

Why don’t they know they can buy it back today?

The most important thing is that they don’t have that much money on them. Can they only watch others buy?

Perhaps sensing their thoughts, the director spoke up, "I've told them that the truck drivers will pick everything first. It's okay if you don't have money. You can take your things home first and pay when you come back tomorrow to pick the pork."

Only then did everyone in the car team feel satisfied.

Then Liu Gang said, "Wait a moment after you get the things down. Old Song and the others have gone to the butcher shop. You can choose them after they come back."

"It's what I should do. Besides, I've waited for so long, so I don't mind waiting for a little while longer."

There is strength in numbers, and the things were moved down in no time.

In addition to fish, chickens and ducks filled the large open space.

It makes people feel happy just by looking at it.

The logistics department counted the number, and then everyone waited for Master Song and the other two.

Less than two minutes later, two cars came driving over.

Before Master Song and his companions had time to ask any questions after getting off the car, Master Qi told them what happened directly.

Seeing the car team members arrive, the director immediately said, "Now that everyone is here, you should hurry up and make your selection. After you've made your selection, you'll be weighed nearby. When you leave, take the receipts with you, as someone will check them."

Li Xu and others responded, and then hurried forward to choose.

They have only one criterion for selection, and that is lively and plump.

When these poultry were transported back, they were stacked up in several layers.

Although the one at the bottom was not crushed to death, he was also in a very bad shape.

No one knows how long they can live.

People buy several at a time, and they definitely can’t finish them in one day.

Of course, you should choose those that are still alive so that you can eat them slowly.

As for obesity, it is easier to understand.

Because fatty meat tastes fragrant enough.

After a while, everyone in the car team had made their choice.

Then they took the selected chickens and ducks to the side to be weighed.

When they saw the receipt, they all said it was not expensive.

If I could get them all, I would even like to pick a few more.

Li Xu and others walked out with some difficulty, holding the chicken in their left hand and the duck in their right hand.

When they arrived at the gate, the guard confirmed that the quantity on the receipt matched what they had in their hands before letting them leave.

Li Jiakang and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Xu coming home.

When Sun Xiu saw the poultry in his hands, he quickly asked, "Xiao Xu, didn't you just get home? What's going on?"

Li Xu put the chickens and ducks in a corner of the main hall before responding, "I don't know what happened today. The director actually agreed to let people from the supply and marketing cooperative buy in advance, so I picked some. Luckily, our car team had a privilege and was among the first wave of people to be selected, so we came back relatively early."

Li Ping poured him a glass of water and said with a smile, "Even this scared us enough. We were wondering why you hadn't come back so late. If you had been any later, we would have gone looking for you."

"Don't worry, we're experienced and safe." Li Xu didn't take the cup of water and continued, "Brother, my hands are dirty. Put the water on the table while I wash my hands. Sister-in-law, please find some food for the chickens and ducks. Don't let them get too thin."

After saying this, he hurried out.

Hu Guilan and Sun Xiu also followed him out.

One brought food to Li Xu, and the other went to the kitchen to get some indica rice.

Li Xu washed his hands several times until the smell was gone.

Returning to the main room, he ate and chatted with a few people.

Li Jiakang asked, "Xiaoxu, how much did these chickens and ducks cost?"

Li Xu stretched out his left hand and took out the receipt from his pocket and handed it to him, "Here, it says it on it."

Li Jiakang took it, looked at it, and then said to Sun Xiu, "Xiu'er, this time we spent a total of more than 110 yuan. You can give him 150 yuan later and let him buy some meat and two fish with the rest."

"Okay." Sun Xiu responded, then asked, "Xiao Xu, you were among the first group to pick, so why did you only buy more than ten? With such a good opportunity, why didn't you pick more?"

Li Xu chewed his food and explained vaguely, "I would like to, but I really can't take it all. We have a rule in advance that you can only buy as much as you can hold with both hands. You don't know how much effort I put in just to carry these things."

If the chickens and ducks didn't have ropes tied around their claws to make it easier to lift them, he wouldn't be able to lift more than ten of them.

After hearing the explanation, Sun Xiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send two to your grandma tomorrow to try."
