Both of them looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a bit of vigilance, because this guy could be considered a pretty boy!
Ye Zhiqiu stroked his chin, feeling that this matter would only benefit him. Then he whispered to the two of them, "How about this? I'll match you up with the village where you sold fish last time to trade chickens, ducks, and geese! But if you make any money from the sales, you have to give me a share of the profits."
Actually, Ye Zhiqiu only planned to take the sows and piglets in the village. He already had space for chickens, ducks, and geese, so it didn't matter whether he took the other ones in the village or not!
After hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, their eyes lit up and they quickly asked, "Brother, how are we going to get these chickens, ducks, and geese? When can you arrange a meeting for us to talk?"
Ye Zhiqiu thought for a moment, then replied, "I haven't asked for the specific price, but they sell hens weighing about three pounds for two dollars and four cents each.
"A goose weighing five or six pounds costs me four dollars and a half, and a goose weighing seven or eight pounds costs me five dollars and a half. I've never bought ducks, but at these prices, is there any profit to be made selling chickens and geese?"
Ma Banghua and the other man looked at each other in bewilderment, because they had no idea how much it could be sold for!
He Yongjun quickly explained, "Brother, we haven't paid attention to the price at all, so we really don't know the exact purchase price. Let's go and inquire about the price after get off work tonight, and then we can discuss it tomorrow."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. He also wanted to ask Yang Gui and the others. Thinking of finding someone to discuss something, he had to ask the three of them to come over for dinner. There was no wine left at home!
He said to them, "Damn, those three can drink a lot! Get me some drink tickets, I'm too lazy to run around dealing them all day."
After hearing what Ye Zhiqiu said, He Yongjun and the other man reached into their pockets and took out a few wine tickets from their wallets.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at the ticket and bought six bottles of Erguotou. He simply took out the money from his pocket and ordered 20 yuan for each person.
"Get me some wine tickets. I don't care how you get them back. We can't do this without wine! If you have any special wine tickets, get me a few. I'm going to become a disciple in a few days, so I might need to buy a couple of bottles of good wine."
Hearing Ye Zhiqiu's words, their eyes lit up and they quickly asked him, "Brother, is it okay for this Moutai to be 4.5 yuan, Wuliangye to be 3.5 yuan, Fenjiu to be 1.5 yuan, and Erguotou to be 80 cents a bottle?
If this price is acceptable, it doesn't matter how we get it. I'll get you as much as you want and deliver it directly to your home!"
Ye Zhiqiu knew the price, which was the price he would pay to trade the wine tickets and then buy them at the department store.
He didn't have any objections. Socializing and the like did require a lot of alcohol. The most important thing was that he had money but no tickets, so he might as well let these two guys make a little profit and buy himself some extra alcohol!
So he nodded to the two of them and said, "Okay, twenty bottles each of Moutai and Wuliangye, thirty bottles of Fenjiu, and fifty bottles of Erguotou.
By the way, do you have money? If you don’t, I’ll give you some first. Once you’ve prepared the wine, just bring it to me.”
The two nodded repeatedly. He Yongjun thought for a moment and said, "Then you should pay us first, brother. We took advantage of you this time! How about this? I'll steal another pack of my dad's good cigarettes for you so you don't suffer too much loss!"
Ma Banghua also quickly said: "I'll steal one for you too. We're short of money so I won't give you a discount this time."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care about this. It was just a cigarette, and he didn't feel like he was taking advantage of them.
He pretended to rummage through his bag for money, but actually he took out three hundred yuan from the space. After he took out a stack of money, both of them looked at him with envy.
They didn't expect that this little brother Ye Zhiqiu could carry hundreds of dollars with him. They had never been so rich!
Ye Zhiqiu counted out two hundred yuan, then put the remaining money into his shoulder bag and put it back into the space. He then took out the money he had with him from his trouser pocket and counted out eight yuan.
He smiled and said, "I calculated the cost of the wine I asked you to get. It's a total of 245 yuan. The extra 3 yuan is for the six ordinary wine tickets. You two count it and see if the amount is correct."
Since they were counting the money in front of each other, they naturally didn't bother to count it again. They just put the money away with a smile.
After the two of them discussed it for a while, they said to Ye Zhiqiu, "Brother, we won't go to the factory for lunch tomorrow. First, we need to ask what the chickens, ducks, and geese can be sold for, and second, we need to bring the wine over to you first.
How about this! Tomorrow night when we bring the wine over, we can compare prices and see if we can buy those chickens, ducks, and geese. I'll also make some braised pig ears, and we can have a couple of drinks then."
"Okay! In that case, I'll get a fish as a side dish."
"Hey, it's a deal then!"
As they were talking, it was lunchtime. Ye Zhiqiu and the other two went to get some food. Then he ran to find Liu Wenjie and told him that he had to help the factory director with some things and might not be back to work in the next few days.
Liu Wenjie frowned and said, "It's no problem if you don't come back after doing your job, but Xiaoye, why don't you hang up your gun?"
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment because he had put the gun in the space. If Liu Wenjie hadn't told him, he would have forgotten his gun!
He immediately put on an apologetic smile, put the revolver into his bag, took it out and fastened it to his belt.
He explained, "Chief, I put the gun in my bag when I was showering yesterday, and forgot to strap it on when I went to work!"
Liu Wenjie said sternly, "Going out to purchase goods is very dangerous. If you run into someone who wants to rob you, you won't even have the chance to take your gun out of your bag. Don't do this again in the future!"
We give you guns so that you can protect yourself and fight back when you encounter criminals. We don't give them to you just to play with.
If you're caught not wearing your weapon again, I'll fine you two dollars. Don't accuse me of being ruthless then!"
Ye Zhiqiu knew very well that although Liu Wenjie's words were harsh and his tone was very merciless, it was all for his own good.
So he nodded repeatedly and promised that he would never make this mistake again! After reviewing for a long time, Liu Wenjie waved him off and let him go, letting him get back to business.
Ye Zhiqiu gave Liu Wenjie a cigarette and lit it for him before he left the section chief's office.
After returning to the office, drinking the tea in the teacup and washing it clean, he rode his bicycle out of the factory.
On the way, Ye Zhiqiu took out Chen Yimin's note. After looking at the address, he realized it was in Balizhuang. Sanlitun was six or seven kilometers away from Balizhuang, and the factory was also six or seven kilometers away from Balizhuang!
This distance takes at least twenty minutes by bike, twice as long as the trip from the factory back to Sanlitun. I don't know why Chen Yimin's house was allocated so far away.
