Chapter 165 Sending you food
Brother Tan drove the truck to the town, stopped the car when passing the police station, and honked. In less than ten seconds, a man walked out of the police station.
"Why are you here tonight?" Brother Tan asked in surprise. Captain Song has now been promoted from captain to deputy director. He didn't expect that he would accompany him on a trip to the county.
"The rest of the station has to go patrol somewhere else, so I'm free." Director Song said, looking at the truck bed. "What's inside?"
"Fish." Brother Tan said, feeling a little nervous, worried that the director would ask more questions.
"Relax and drive carefully. Our superiors have told us not to ask too many questions and not to follow us. We are afraid that your suppliers will be scared and run away or hide, which would be more trouble than gain. The superiors cannot afford to take the risk of drought this year." Director Song said sincerely.
"What you mean is that once the disaster year is over, the higher-ups will identify the suppliers?" Brother Tan did not relax.
Director Song said meaningfully, "What do you think?"
Brother Tan's expression changed, and then he smiled bitterly, "Then I guess I can only do this job for a few months."
"You are a man of integrity. Don't worry, the higher-ups haven't revealed this plan yet. After all, these goods are too good to be replaced." Director Song said. As far as he knew, many high-level officials had issued orders to let the people below turn a blind eye. What he didn't say was that these materials were not only transported to the provincial capital, but also some were transported to the capital.
Brother Tan's heart was up and down. It was such a cold day that he even broke out in sweat on his back.
He hoped that he would never meet Director Song again.
On the fourth night, Lin Qi prepared 20,000 kilograms of corn and 10,000 kilograms of soybeans. She originally wanted to prepare some sweet potatoes, but the quantity of corn and soybeans was too large, so the sweet potatoes had to wait until the fifth night.
On the fifth night, Lin Qi prepared 30,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
"We agreed to supply goods for five consecutive nights, so you just lend me the car." Lin Qi said.
"Okay. I'll give it to you tomorrow during the day, but you still have to supply me with goods at night." Brother Tan said.
"Okay. But there will be no food tomorrow, so I will give you a thousand rabbits and four pigs." She has to give birth to a batch of food during the day tomorrow, which will consume a lot of her supernatural powers. She is afraid that her supernatural powers will not be enough to support her to give birth to another batch at night.
"The meat here is delicious. Every time the county and the city almost fight over the meat." At first, those people thought his purchasing price was expensive, but after eating it, they all shut their mouths.
These meats now cover almost the entire province, but you can’t buy them even if you want to eat them.
Lin Qi was not surprised at all. She would have been surprised if no one was fighting for it.
"Then lend me your work ID as well." Lin Qi said.
"What do you want the work permit for?" Brother Tan became alert.
"I want Xu Hexiao to go with me. He has never been out of Yao County since he was a child. It's so pitiful." Lin Qi said.
Brother Tan was unmoved, "Most people in Yao County have never left Yao County in their lives."
Lin Qi narrowed her eyes, "Don't force me to threaten you."
The corner of Brother Tan's mouth twitched, "If I don't give me my work permit, you won't supply me with goods."
"That's right." Lin Qi answered very straightforwardly.
Brother Tan laughed angrily, "Lust makes one lose his mind!"
"So what if we borrow it? Maybe we won't need it at all." Lin Qi said.
"Not very good. What else can I do except lend it to you?" Brother Tan said helplessly.
"I'll give you a sheep tomorrow."
"That's more like it."
The next morning, Lin Qi went to the team leader to get a letter of introduction, and then went to the commune and successfully got it stamped.
"Didn't you go hunting in the mountains this year?" the commune leader asked Lin Qi with a smile.
"The animals have all run into the mountains." Lin Qi said.
"Not even one?" The leader refused to give up.
Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, "There isn't much prey. I'll get two sheep for the commune in a couple of days. Each sheep will weigh 200 kilograms."
"Well, okay, then it's settled. I'll wait for you the day after tomorrow." The commune leader's eyes were filled with impatience.
Lin Qi agreed readily, "Okay."
Lin Qi got the letter of introduction and rode her bike very fast. When she returned home, it was only 9:30 in the morning.
She hurried to the planting area again, caught twenty chickens and twenty rabbits, and took two hundred kilograms of bacon. After leaving the planting area, she went to find Xu Hexiao, "Get on your bike, and let's go find Brother Tan."
"Why are you sending chickens and rabbits to Brother Tan at this time?" Xu Hexiao asked in confusion, looking at the two large cages. Brother Tan comes here every day, so if there is anything, can't you just give it to him at night?
"It's a secret." Lin Qi said with a smile.
Xu Hexiao also smiled and said lovingly, "Okay, I won't ask. But I want to know, when will the secret be revealed?"
"After arriving at Brother Tan's house."
"You can look forward to it, this is a surprise for you."
"Really? I'm looking forward to it!"
Both of them were full of anticipation. Xu Hexiao was looking forward to the surprise that Lin Qi would give him, while Lin Qi was looking forward to Xu Hexiao's joy and excitement when he saw the surprise.
So, they both couldn't help but get excited and pedaled their bikes very fast, arriving at Brother Tan's house in half an hour.
This time they went through the main gate and the truck stopped in front of Brother Tan's door.
The door of Brother Tan's house was open. When he saw the two of them, Brother Tan came out and threw his work permit to Lin Qi, "What you want."
Lin Qi took it and said, "Thank you."
Without saying anything extra, he threw the things on the bicycle into the car.
Seeing this, Xu Hexiao couldn't help but ask, "Do we have to put these in the car too?"
"Of course." Lin Qi replied.
Brother Tan looked at the confused Xu Hexiao and smiled, "It seems that my brother Hexiao still doesn't understand what's going on."
"I didn't tell him. I wanted to give him a surprise." At this time, Lin Qi had already put all the things on the car and pushed the bicycle in front of Brother Tan. "I'll keep it at your house for the time being. We'll ride it back in the evening."
us?
Xu Hexiao looked at his bicycle, then at Brother Tan, "Do you want to store mine too?"
"Save." Lin Qi had already opened the door of the passenger seat. "Come on up. This is the surprise I told you about. Let's talk about it while we walk."
Xu Hexiao was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and got into the passenger seat.
Lin Qi started the car and drove out steadily.
Watching the car go farther and farther away, Brother Tan was filled with envy, "Tsk, what good deeds did Xu Hexiao do in his previous life to be able to meet Lin Qi in this life?"
It was Xu Hexiao’s first time riding in a car, and he was very curious. He looked inside the car, then outside the car, and finally focused his attention on Lin Qi’s operation.
"Are you carsick?" Lin Qi asked him.
"Not dizzy." Xu Hexiao shook his head.
"It's good that you don't feel dizzy. Then watch how I drive. Once we are out of town, I will teach you how to drive. After a trip to Badong Farm, you should have learned how to drive." Lin Qi said. She not only wanted to take Xu Hexiao out to see the outside world, but also to satisfy his desire to learn how to drive.
When Xu Hexiao heard that he could learn to drive, his eyebrows raised. Then he heard that Lin Qi was going to Badong Farm, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you going to deliver food to Badong Farm?"
"Yes. There is an even greater water shortage there than here. With the drought this year, their farm may not be able to harvest anything. But since it's a farm, they must have reserve grain. But I'm worried that Mr. Lu and his family won't be able to eat the reserve grain. Moreover, the whole province is experiencing drought, and the reserve grain may be requisitioned. We saved people last year, we can't let them starve to death this year, otherwise all our work would be in vain." Lin Qi argued.
Xu Hexiao looked at her serious profile, his heart almost melted into a puddle of water, so soft. She was willing to give so much just for a hope.
How could she do this for him?
After leaving the town, Lin Qi switched seats with Xu Hexiao and began to learn how to drive from Xu Hexiao.
Xu Hexiao watched for a while and then listened to her explanation, and he was able to get the hang of it quickly.
At the beginning, the car was stopped and started frequently, with many bumps and bruises. But after he got familiar with all the parts, Xu Hexiao was able to drive the car steadily quickly.
"You just focus on driving, I'll go to the truck bed and get some food out." Lin Qi said.
"If you want to induce the growth of something, such as sweet potatoes, you need to get some soil. Things that grow in the soil will appear abnormal if they are too clean," Xu Hexiao reminded.
"Okay, I'll sprinkle some soil on it later." Lin Qi said.
She had grown corn, sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes, and a lot of pumpkins, in addition to three bags of rice in the shell.
When we arrived at Badong Farm, the car was already fully loaded with about 40,000 kilograms of grain.
As soon as the car arrived at the gate, the guard came over without Lin Qi getting out.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the guard looked up and asked.
Lin Qi stuck her head out of the car and said, "Gatekeeper, it's me, Lin Qi from Grandma Li's family."
"Oh, it's you." The man outside the door remembered Lin Qi. He was deeply impressed by such a beautiful girl.
Lin Qi got off the car, climbed onto the truck bed, grabbed a chicken from the cage, and stuffed the chicken into the guard's arms. "Go on a walk, make some soup, and replenish your body. I haven't seen you for a year, and you've lost weight."
The guard held the chicken in his arms, terrified. It must be fourteen or fifteen layers high.
The guard was reluctant to return the chicken he had caught, but he still had to ask, "What are you doing here? What's in this truck?"
"It's food. There's a severe drought this year, and I'm worried that our farm won't have enough food, so I'm transporting some food here." Lin Qi said.
"Is there such a good thing?" someone asked outside the door.
"Yes, it's a blessing from heaven. Please open the door for me and I will talk to my leader myself." Lin Qi said.
"Okay, I'll open the door for you and you can go talk to your leader yourself." The guard opened the big iron gate.
Lin Qi drove into the farm and directly directed Xu Hexiao to drive the car to the door of Grandma Li's house.
"Let Grandma Li and her family go and help us negotiate." Lin Qi said.
As the car arrived, everyone in the row of houses came out and gathered around curiously.
"Grandma Li!" Lin Qi opened the passenger door and jumped out of the car.
"Hey, it's Qiqi!" Grandma Li was surprised, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to bring you some food." Lin Qi said, pointing inside the car, "They are just some coarse grains, not worth much, I'll give them to everyone to eat."
What!
Send them food!
The people present couldn't believe what they heard. There was a severe drought this year and there was no food to sell outside. Now someone said they would send them a truckload of food?
Am I dreaming?
