The two stayed in the city for a day and got up early the next morning to rush back.
However, when he arrived in the county town, He Xianqiu went to the meat processing factory.
This time we received a large order, and there is not much oil left at the soap factory.
So I had to go to the meat processing plant and order a few hundred kilograms of pork fat for refining.
However, it was too troublesome to go there every time, so He Xianqiu simply ordered 500 kilograms of pork fat from the meat processing factory every month, so that he didn't have to come here specially.
As for whether it is enough, we will talk about it when the time comes. If it is not enough, we can continue to place orders, but there must be at least 500 kilograms of pork fat as a base for ordering every month.
The meat processing factory was also very happy and immediately signed an agreement with He Xianqiu, and then delivered pork fat on the first of every month.
But the most important thing now is to deliver the 600 kilograms of meat ordered by He Xianqiu to Qinggang Brigade.
The director of the meat processing factory was delighted at the thought of receiving a sum of money every month.
After arranging everything, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou returned to the Qinggang Brigade.
After arriving at the brigade, He Xianqiu came back from the educated youth point to drop off some things, and then he and Ji Chenzhou went straight to the soap factory.
Everyone at the soap factory had been looking forward to their return, and immediately surrounded them as soon as they saw them.
"He Zhiqing, how is it going? Did you sell the soap and perfumed soap?"
"Yes, yes, what's going on? Ji Lao San, say something too."
Everyone at the soap factory was a little anxious, fearing that the soap and perfumed soaps would not be sold.
If they couldn't sell them, the soap factory would have to close down, and they would have to go back to work in the fields after only working for a few days.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were bombarded with comments from everyone and didn't know who to respond to.
I could only signal everyone to be quiet and let them talk.
Everyone in the soap factory finally quieted down, but they kept staring at He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou.
I’m afraid that the news they tell will be disappointing.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, He Xianqiu told everyone the good news.
"This time we sold all the soap and scented soap we produced."
When everyone heard this, they were instantly surprised and bought all of them. The soap and the perfumed soap together cost more than a thousand yuan. That must have cost a lot of money and tickets.
"All sold? That's great, that's great."
"Not only have we sold these, we also have a new order. The city's shopping mall needs 1,000 bars of soap and 2,000 bars of toilet soap. We have to produce them quickly."
“Oh my god, how much money and tickets does this cost, is this true?
”
He Xianqiu gave him an affirmative look, and Ji Chenzhou also smiled and nodded.
Everyone at the soap factory was surprised and astonished. This was too much. How much would such a large order cost?
"Have you finished everything I asked you to do before I left?"
"It's all done. I've picked the osmanthus flowers and mugwort and fried them dry. They're still in the warehouse."
"The wood ash water has also been filtered."
"That's good. Now pack the soap and perfumed soaps and deliver them to the shopping mall in the county today." He Xianqiu nodded.
Everyone smiled and nodded, and went to pack soaps and perfumed soaps with great enthusiasm.
Soaps and perfumed soaps are packed in packs of ten pieces each and then the mall separates them for sale.
Due to insufficient funds, He Xianqiu did not dare to package them piece by piece at the time as the cost would be too high.
The one thousand yuan given by the commune was simply not enough to cover the cost.
While everyone went to pack, He Xianqiu went to find the team leader and asked him to go to the company to approve a passbook for the soap factory.
The team leader was also very quick. After arriving at the commune, he immediately brought the passbook to He Xianqiu.
After everyone had finished packing, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou took the soap to the county.
Because there was no means of transportation, the team leader specially approved tractors and ox carts to transport soap and perfumed soap.
But once it was transported to the commune, there was nothing that could be done.
As for how to transport it to the county town, that is something He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou need to think about.
The two had the same idea and both planned to find a transport team for transportation.
The two went to the transport team, but He Xianqiu didn't know much about the transport price, so Ji Chenzhou went to negotiate the matter, and He Xianqiu just watched him talk from the side.
He Xianqiu looked at Ji Chenzhou and talked about the price with the other party slowly and calmly. His voice was low, but he did not give in at all when it came to the price. He was extremely calm and composed.
"The commune is 60 kilometers away from the county town. I'll give you 60 cents per kilometer for transportation."
“That’s too little.”
"Sixty cents per kilometer is already relatively high for the company's transport team. If you think it's not suitable, I can go and have a look at other transport teams." Ji Chenzhou said slowly and calmly.
"Okay, then 60 cents per kilometer." When the man heard Ji Chenzhou say that he was going to another transport team, he became anxious.
But at this time, Ji Chenzhou did not appreciate it. He motioned He Xianqiu to stand up.
The two men stood up and were about to leave, but the man immediately stopped them and said through gritted teeth.
"I'll give you 55 cents per kilometer."
At worst, they can earn less, and fifty-five cents is not low, so the transport team still makes some money.
Hearing this, Ji Chenzhou sat down again. When the man saw Ji Chenzhou sitting down, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Is it transported today?”
"Well, the goods are at the shipping gate today, but I have a request."
"you say."
"We have to follow the team."
"OK."
The transport team put the soap and perfumed soap into a small truck and asked one of the team members to deliver the goods. The delivery truck driver packed up and prepared to drive to the county town.
The truck driver sat in the driver's seat and motioned Ji Chenzhou and He Xianqiu to get in quickly.
After the two sat in the passenger seat, the truck driver started driving immediately.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were sitting in the passenger seat. They didn't feel crowded, but the seat was not very spacious either.
So the two of them were sitting next to each other. Ji Chenzhou could smell the fragrance on He Xianqiu's clothes, and his ears turned a little red.
Seeing the girl he liked standing next to him, he felt a little shy, but also secretly happy.
There was no strange smell on the truck, and it did not need to stop in the middle to let passengers get on and off like a bus, so we arrived at the county town very quickly.
He Xianqiu sat quite comfortably along the way and was in a good mood.
After arriving at the county town, the truck driver drove towards the shopping mall.
After arriving at the mall, He Xianqiu asked someone to call Director Wu out.
After a while, Director Wu came out in a hurry.
"Comrade He, you are here."
"Director Wu, the soaps and perfumed soaps have been delivered. Please be gentle." He Xianqiu nodded.
Director Wu asked someone to count the quantity, and after confirming that the quantity was sufficient, he immediately gave the balance to He Xianqiu.
"Comrade He, here's the balance and the ticket for you. Please tap lightly."
He Xianqiu reached out to take the money and bills and counted them. After confirming the amount, several people left the mall.
After leaving the mall, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were going to eat, while the driver planned to buy something to fill his stomach and then return.
After knowing the truck driver's itinerary, Ji Chenzhou thought of He Xianqiu's psychological shadow towards buses.
Besides, the truck driver was a nice guy and the portion sizes at the state-owned restaurant were generous, so Ji Chenzhou simply decided to keep him to eat.
Of course, his main purpose was to treat the other party to a meal, and then on the way back, ride in the truck driver's truck back to the commune together.
After all, they came to deliver the goods, eat something and then go back to the commune.
He asked, "Comrade, why don't you go to the state-owned restaurant with us for dinner?"
"Forget it, I'll just eat something and go back. It'll cost more to go to a state-owned restaurant."
Thinking about the cost of going to the state-owned restaurant, the truck driver shook his head.
He didn't even think that the other party was treating him to a meal, after all, state-owned restaurants were not cheap.
"You don't need to pay. Just pick us up and go back to the commune later." Ji Chenzhou said.
He Xianqiu nodded: "Yes, we'll treat you, don't worry about eating."
He Xianqiu thought it would be a good idea to treat the truck driver to a meal and then go back with him. At least they wouldn’t have to squeeze into a bus.
"Okay then." When the truck driver heard that it didn't cost any money, he thought it was a good deal to give them a ride back, so he thought about it and agreed.
After all, he also needs to eat something and then go back to the commune, so it makes no difference whether there is one more person or two.
Afterwards, the three of them went to a state-owned hair salon to eat, thinking that the two men would eat more.
Ji Chenzhou ordered several dishes, but they were all He Xianqiu’s favorites.
After eating, the two of them took a truck and went back to the commune with the truck driver.
The truck driver was also very happy at this time. On the way back, he had the food from the state-owned restaurant and was very full. He was so happy.
On the way back, He Xianqiu felt sleepy, so she tilted her head to the window side.
But the sleep was not comfortable. The truck was shaking all over, and the place where my head rested on the window was red.
Ji Chenzhou looked at her sleeping uneasily and silently put her head on his shoulder.
He Xianqiu then relaxed his brows, rubbed Ji Chenzhou's shoulder, and then fell asleep peacefully.
The truck driver saw Ji Chenzhou's actions and asked curiously.
"Is this your partner? You two are both very good-looking, and the baby you give birth to will probably be good-looking too."
Ji Chenzhou blushed, shook his head and said, "No."
"Is that so? But I see you like her very much, why don't you tell her and start dating her?"
When Ji Chenzhou heard this, he was silent.
The gap between him and He Xianqiu was too big, so he never dared to confess his feelings to each other.
Moreover, He Xianqiu had no romantic feelings for him at all. Thinking of this, Ji Chenzhou felt a little disappointed.
Seeing that Ji Chenzhou didn't say anything, the driver didn't ask any more questions and guessed some reasons in his mind.
No one spoke in the car and it became quiet.
The truck driver drove carefully and was not afraid of the bumpy road. The truck was shaking, and Ji Chenzhou protected He Xianqiu's head.
He Xianqiu's soft hair fell on her face, making her face itchy, and she frowned in her sleep.
Ji Chenzhou noticed it and gently tucked her soft hair behind her ears.
Seeing that He Xianqiu finally stopped frowning, Ji Chenzhou smiled, his eyes full of tenderness.
