Chapter 197 The first level
When everyone was busy loading the goods, someone shouted: "No way, there are too many goods, and there is not enough space in the car."
When the three of us heard this, we quickly gathered with the group of store owners towards the transport truck.
Taking a closer look, sure enough, the three carriages were packed to the brim and there was no other space for loading.
"How much is packed?" I asked several men standing nearby holding small notebooks. They used notebooks to record the quantity of food.
For convenience at the end, I use it at checkout in each store.
As soon as I heard what I said, the people who took the records looked at each other and reported to me the amount of food and money in order of the distance they were standing.
The three cars combined have used up less than half of the money I brought. This does not even include the cost of the ride to Jianli Town.
Seeing us gathered in a bunch, the drivers who were in charge of driving also came over, thinking that I was paying for various shops.
"Hey, big boss, what's going on?" One of the rough guys named Brother Wang was the first to speak. I don't know what his name was, but the rest of the people called him that.
I glanced at him, turned my eyes and said: "There are not enough cars, and there is still a lot of food. Brother Wang, does he have any friends who are willing to travel long distances? Can you call a few more cars for me?"
I said politely, took out the Soft China from my pocket that I bought while cleaning up the store, and handed one to Brother Wang.
Brother Wang is also a cheerful person. He didn't show any politeness to me. He took the cigarette directly, lit it and held it in his mouth. He said, "There are many friends who do long-distance transportation, but in this weather, I'm afraid.
I can’t call a few. By the way, big boss, where are you going to send all these things you bought?”
"Oh, Brother Wang, don't call me a big boss, just call me Duanmuyang." I said, "Isn't there a big earthquake in Jianli Town? Food for the victims can't be kept up, so I thought of coming.
Buy some more here and take them over."
When Brother Wang heard what I said, he didn't hold it in his mouth for a moment. The soft Chinese cigarette fell to the ground, and the white cigarette paper was instantly covered with mud and water.
The rest of the people also looked surprised.
"Brother Xiaoyang, are you kidding your brothers? You are going to Jianli Town for disaster relief? There are still big earthquakes there, but small earthquakes continue. And because of rainy days, landslides and the like, there are still
happened.
Is that where your hometown is? But the accent doesn’t sound like it.”
Brother Wang is also quick to speak and calls me Xiaoyang directly.
I rolled my eyes and waved my hands with a smile: "Oh, Brother Wang said, my friend who works with me is actually from his hometown there. During this earthquake, he went back first. I was worried about him, so I came to take a look. I just happened to have something on hand.
I have some spare money, so I thought it would be better to buy something."
Brother Wang looked at me with an incomprehensible expression. After a long pause, he nodded: "Since it is a good deed, I will call someone for you."
"Well, Brother Wang, please tell those cars to come quickly. It's getting late. I want to set off before dark. Within half an hour, I'll take all the cars that can come, and forget about the ones that can't." I added.
.
After being delayed for a day on the train, it was already the afternoon of the next day before we set off from home. Looking at the time on the phone, it showed four o'clock in the afternoon.
Coupled with the rainy weather, if we hesitate any longer, the muddy mountain road will not give us any benefit.
Brother Wang called people very quickly, and soon six cars, large and small, parked in the wholesale market.
There were actually two vans a little larger than a car inside.
I looked at the two vans and said, "Brother Wang, this is"
"These two cars are for people to rest. Brother Xiaoyang, maybe you don't know the roads here. The road to Jianli Town is very winding, and it's a rainy day. It may take four or five days to drive.
Here, the drivers can’t drive while tired, so I’ll let the driver take a rest.”
What Brother Wang said is quite reasonable and more thoughtful than I thought.
"I can also drive, and I can also replace the drivers." Yang Jisong, who had been standing aside, finally stopped eating and interjected.
Since he explained things at home to me last time, I have learned that not only him, but also his family eat two or three times as much as ordinary people. Basically, they need to eat a lot of food every day - to nourish the body.
The ghost.
I didn't expect that Yang Jisong, who usually takes the bus or walks to school, can drive. It's just right, it's a personal skill.
Now that the truck is available, the wholesale market is bustling again. I specially left two large transport trucks out, and then I found a store that wholesales mineral water and loaded two trucks of purified water.
In disaster areas, food and clean water are equally important.
We were busy until seven o'clock in the evening when we packed up everything.
During this period, Yang Jisong and I visited the wholesale market twice more, picked out some snacks, and filled one of the minivans.
After loading the goods, I started to pay all the participating stores. Unexpectedly, after knowing that I was going to Jianli Town to provide disaster relief, all the stores charged me at the cost price of the food.
We set off, with seven large transport vehicles and two minivans, towards the remote town of Jianli.
Before departure, I also negotiated with the drivers about the payment for the long distance. After paying the food vendors, I still had nearly 20,000 yuan in cash on hand, plus the 30,000 yuan in the bell card.
Therefore, I promised to give each driver 500 yuan a day as hard work fee plus 300 yuan for gas transportation fee.
At first, when Brother Wang and the others heard about the amount of money, they repeatedly shied away, but after my persuasion, they agreed.
I don’t know what they think, but since they are willing to take this risk with me, I can’t treat them badly.
In this kind of weather, it is difficult for transport drivers to operate. As soon as they received this business from me, everyone was happy and excited.
The rain was still falling, and Yang Jisong, Lingdang, and I were sitting in one of the vans, looking at the scenery outside the window in boredom.
It's November now, which is late autumn, and it's raining.
No matter where you looked, it was desolate.
Because there are very few people and cars on the road, our large team can drive smoothly.
Occasionally, there were a few people who went out in the rainy weather. When they saw our team, they looked at us with surprise and confusion.
The sky became dark and the air became more stuffy.
And we also ushered in the first step of driving out. When our team drove to the bus station, all vehicles were prohibited from going out due to rain and earthquakes.
