After watching the two apprentices leave, Wang Qiang's wife came over with a basket.
"His father, Xiujuan had a big rooster delivered this morning. Do you want to roast it at noon or in the evening?"
Wang Qiang glanced at his wife after hearing this, thought for a moment and said, "Lunch, maybe? After we eat, everyone will work harder this afternoon!"
Wang Qiang's wife nodded and then smiled. "These two Chu Tian brothers really keep their word. They said we'd have meat every three days, and they really did deliver meat in different ways every three days. I wonder where they got so much meat from?"
Wang Qiang frowned upon hearing this, glanced at his wife with dissatisfaction, and scolded her, "I gave you food, but you can't stop your mouth? What do you care where you got it from?"
Wang Qiang's wife smiled and waved her hands, "I don't care, I'm just asking out of curiosity!"
Wang Qiang glared at his wife, "Don't be curious! Anyway, remember, it's the Chu Tian brothers who pay our husband and wife and the elderly and children for food and wages. We just need to do our jobs well. Don't say anything else, let alone ask any random questions."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll remember that."
Wang Qiang's wife naturally understood what her husband meant. He had lost all hope in life for the past ten years after breaking his leg. He lived like a walking corpse every day. Now he finally found the meaning of life, so he cherished what he had and didn't want to lose it again...
After wandering outside for two months, Chu Tian and his four companions finally returned to Urumqi. They first pulled the supplies on the car back to the division headquarters, and collected the salary for the period of driving from the division headquarters' finance department. Then they hurried back to the regiment headquarters, and after handing over to Director Li at the regiment headquarters, they also went to the finance office to collect their salary.
"Master Adili, Zuo Zhuang, you've been away for over two months. Everyone at home must be missing you. Come back soon."
"You heard what Director Li said in Director Li's office earlier. Director Li said you can take a month off. We'll see you next month."
Standing at the gate of the transport team, Chu Tian watched Master Adili and Zuo Zhuang ride away on their bicycles before looking at Chu Min again.
"Second brother, can you go back first?"
Chu Min was surprised, "You're not going home?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "I'm going to ask where our dry goods have been sent..."
"Then you go, I'll go back first!"
Chu Min understood. He looked at the package in Chu Tian's hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Can I help you take your things back?"
"Then I'll trouble you, second brother..."
Watching Chu Min walk away, Chu Tian found a deserted place, took out a pound of cherries, oranges and loquats from the space, and then walked towards Li Gang's house.
"Brother Li Gang, how is it? Is it delicious?"
Chu Tian Li Gang tasted a little of the three kinds of fruits he brought and smiled.
Li Gang spat out the cherry seeds in his mouth and said with a "tsk!", "To be honest, I've never eaten such delicious fruit!"
"This Babagan thing looks uglier than an orange, but it tastes really good, really sweet!"
Seeing Li Gang pick up the Baba tangerines he had only eaten two slices of, he looked curious and thought for a moment before asking, "Brother Li Gang, do you think these fruits can be sold?"
Li Gang exclaimed, "If such delicious fruit can't be sold, then those people are really blind!"
Chu Tian was happy, "Brother Li Gang, will you buy them? I have a batch on hand now!"
"Collect, collect, of course!"
“How are you going to sell it?”
"Baba tangerines are 1.3 yuan per pound, cherries are 1.6 yuan per pound, and loquats are a fruit and can also be used as a cough medicine, so they're more expensive, 2 yuan per pound!"
"Sure, how many do you have? I want them all!"
Li Gang agreed without any hesitation. These fruits are more expensive than the local fruits in Xinjiang, such as plums, pears, apples, grapes, peaches, etc., but who can blame Xinjiang for not having them?
In Xinjiang, if there is any fruit or other thing that is not available, no matter how expensive it is, it will be sold out in the city!
Therefore, Li Gang is not worried at all about not being able to sell it!
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "There are about 6,000 kilograms of oranges and cherries, but fewer loquats, maybe only about 4,000 kilograms?"
“It’s not a big amount!”
Li Gang touched his chin and thought that with just this amount, the black markets in the regiment and the black markets in Wushi could probably eat it all up. He also thought that if the quantity was large, he could send it to the next market to sell...
"Brother Li Gang, you know that fruits from the south are not easy to preserve. It's not easy to get these back, so the quantity is not large."
In fact, there are more than these, but the current logistics are too bad. Even if he goes to Sichuan Province next time, it will be the end of the year or next year. Therefore, Chu Tian does not plan to sell them all. There is no end to money. He can't let his family go without food for the sake of money, right?
Therefore, he kept more than a thousand pounds of each kind to give to others and for his family to eat.
Especially loquat is a good thing. It can be boiled into loquat paste and drunk with water every day after autumn. It is good for the body. Thinking of this, Chu Tian did not forget to kindly remind him.
"Brother Li Gang, I just said that this loquat can relieve coughs. When you sell it, you can tell others that this loquat can be boiled into loquat paste..."
Li Gang blinked. "It has this effect?"
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, it's best to boil it with rock sugar. It would be even better if you can buy Sichuan Fritillaria to boil together. After boiling, put it in a water-free and oil-free glass bottle for storage."
Li Gang was curious, "Chuanbei? Is it the one that looks very similar to Job's tears?"
Chu Tian was surprised, "Can Brother Li Gang get it?"
"Well, doesn't my grandpa always cough when the wind blows in the winter? I just heard someone say that Sichuan Fritillaria can relieve coughs, so I asked someone to collect some for me."
As he spoke, Li Gang stood up, took out a bag from the cabinet and placed it in front of Chu Tian.
"Look, isn't this it?"
Chu Tian had bought Sichuan Fritillaria several times in his previous life, so he knew it. He only took one look and nodded with a smile, "This is it, and it looks pretty good!"
Li Gang was delighted when he heard this. "Really? I'll ask your sister-in-law to make some for my grandfather!"
"To be honest, when I saw this thing looked like Job's tears, I thought I was being scammed! Fortunately, I wasn't. This thing is really not cheap! It's much more expensive than refined rice..."
Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh, "How much is it?"
Li Gang put the bag away and said, "This is just less than two kilograms, and it cost me eight yuan!"
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was really cheap to spend only eight yuan. This thing is really not cheap in the pharmacy in the future...
"Brother Li Gang, can you still receive it?"
"Why? You want it?"
"Well, I want..."
"Okay, then I'll keep an eye out for you and give it to you if there's any..."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
After a pause, Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "By the way, this fruit doesn't last long. If it's not stored properly, it will go bad. So, tomorrow morning, should I send you each a thousand kilograms to the intersection where our company walks towards the city? I'll continue to send you more after you've sold all of it."
"Can···"
