Long Mei from the scrap station yawned and opened the door. She was startled when she saw Li Manjun and several others pulling a truck full of steel bars.
"So much?" Long Mei Xiaoxiao was surprised. The day before yesterday, she heard Li Manjun and the others saying that they were going to build an abandoned factory. She thought that these three people could only build more than a hundred kilograms.
Unexpectedly, Li Manjun actually told her that in addition to the car in front of her, there were three cars behind her.
Long Mei's husband was also alarmed and came out, truly impressed by the three young men in front of him.
"Do you want to accept it?" Li Manjun asked.
The couple looked at each other, nodded, accept it, of course they have to accept it.
However, they also told Li Manjun that next time for such a large quantity, they could send it to the city and sell it to the construction site themselves, and still make more money.
Long Mei had to use a calculator today, checking it with a pencil on the scratch paper while pressing it.
"The total is 915 kilograms. One and a half kilograms of scrap steel bars are recycled. You also brought some cement. I will give you a 95% discount. The total price is..."
Li Manjun said first: "1043, just a dime too much."
At this time, the calculator in front of Long Mei had just calculated the price, 1043.1 yuan, which was exactly the same as Li Manjun's calculation.
"That's pretty good of you," Long Mei said jokingly.
Li Manjun smiled modestly.
Long Mei's husband took the cash and handed it to Li Manjun.
In addition to steel bars, Li Manjun and Liu Yan also picked up a lot of odds and ends, which added up to 52 yuan, for a total of 1,095 yuan.
After all the steel bars were delivered to the scrapyard, the Hao Jian brothers were taken to a breakfast shop by Liu Cheng to have breakfast.
Liu Yan followed Li Manjun to settle here, and her eyes lit up when she saw Li Manjun coming out with the money.
She discovered that she had now become a money obsessed person, and her eyes were open to money.
"How was it? How much did it cost?" Liu Yan asked in a low voice.
Li Manjun told her the total price, and Liu Yan couldn't help but waved her fist in excitement, "Great! This night was not in vain."
Li Manjun also laughed, "I was very sleepy at first, but now that I have settled the account, I don't feel sleepy at all anymore."
Liu Yan laughed out loud, and so did she.
The two of them went to Ma Street and bought twelve kilograms of meat, and asked the proprietress to divide it into two kilograms each, tie them with rice dumpling leaves, and then went to Liu Cheng and the others with the overtime pay.
The four of them had finished their breakfast early and were squatting in front of the store, waiting for Li Manjun and Liu Yan to come back. When they saw the pork belly pieces in Li Manjun and Liu Yan's hands, they stood up with a happy smile.
Li Manjun handed over the meat sticks to Hao Jian and the others and settled their wages.
Liu Cheng didn't tell his brothers how much they would pay when they came. Hao Jian and the other three estimated that it would be about the same as the laborers on construction sites in the city, about ten to fifteen yuan.
Unexpectedly, Li Manjun directly gave each of them thirty, saying that it would be calculated based on two days of work.
Plus two kilograms of good meat, Hao Jian's two cousins didn't dare to reach out to take the money.
"This, this is too much."
The two cousins have an honest character and feel that they are just doing a favor for their friends, so it's just a matter of ten or five dollars.
What's more, I added two more pounds of meat to them, which is really embarrassing.
Li Manjun handed the money directly to Hao Jian. After getting along twice, she knew that this young brother who didn't talk much was actually the one who made the decisions among the three brothers.
Hao Jian has a junior high school education, and his two cousins have a primary school education. They are also more open-minded and flexible.
He glanced at Liu Cheng and saw that Liu Cheng was smiling and urging him to collect the money, so he accepted the money handed over by Li Manjun.
"After such a busy day and night, you have worked hard. The morning train is leaving soon. Hurry up and go home to catch up on your sleep." Li Manjun said with a smile.
Brothers Hao Jiansan took their wages and meat, nodded happily, and took the bus back to the village.
Before leaving, Hao Jian also said to Li Manjun: "Next time if there is another job like this, Sister Manjun, please call me and I will come right away."
Li Manjun agreed, watched the three brothers take the shuttle bus to leave, and then began to share the accounts with the Liu Yan siblings.
For the steel bars, after excluding the money just bought for the meat and the wages paid to Hao Jian and the others, there is still 919 yuan left. After deducting the cost of 200, the remaining 719 yuan is left.
How to divide?
This time, Liu Yan proposed to win the soy sauce factory, and Li Manjun provided the capital. Each of them got four, and Liu Cheng got two.
"Do you have any objections?" Li Manjun asked Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng scratched his head and said nothing.
He has now figured out that those who can find a job and can afford the capital can earn more than those who work hard.
Li Manjun received 287 yuan, but now these few hundred yuan can no longer cause any trouble for her.
The same goes for Liu Yan and Liu Cheng. Both siblings thought about going to the countryside to collect chicken and duck feathers after two days of rest. If they inquired about old items by the way, they would make a lot of money.
The three of them divided the money, and the two siblings went home to catch up on their sleep, but Li Manjun was not finished yet.
When she arrived home carrying the meat, Li Dawei happened to go out to work. Li Manjun asked quickly:
"Dad, did you call Brother Daniu for me?"
Li Dawei nodded, "We've talked about it. I called the village chief last night and asked him to help. He should be here soon."
"You haven't come back all night?" Li Dawei looked at Li Manjun's pale eyes and asked with a frown.
Li Manjun nodded and carried the meat into the kitchen. Li Dawei was busy at work and had no time to ask her why she could endure such hardship now. He took his briefcase and trotted all the way to the bus stop sign to catch the bus to the countryside.
Director Jiang didn't know what happened. He said that the orchids he sent were good, but he didn't mention a word about his return to the office.
Li Dawei had vaguely guessed in his heart that Director Jiang had a big appetite, and his pot of small orchids was not popular with others.
Besides, Director Jiang had already revealed to him about the welfare housing. In their eyes, they didn't take his orchids in vain.
"Alas~" Li Dawei let out a long sigh when he thought of this unpleasant job.
When the bus driver saw him sighing, he took the initiative to talk to him and said that his family, Manjun, was so great that they even installed a water heater in their home.
The second one in the town, word spread in the town the next day, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but utter a word of envy.
Li Dawei's face improved and he nodded proudly, "That's right. My Manjun is able to endure hardships and is smart. Young people dare to venture and do things."
The driver's mouth twitched slightly, saying you were fat and you were really out of breath.
Li Manjun didn't know that her father was outside praising her for her ability. She used the leftover rice to fry herself some fried rice. Wang Xiaojuan noticed the movement halfway through the frying. She walked into the kitchen and took a look at the messy pot. She said "Go, go, go" to Li Manjun.
He drove her away, took the spatula and cooked a plate for her herself.
Li Manjun discovered that Wang Xiaojuan had been treating her better since she said she would pay half of the money to buy welfare housing.
This feeling is very subtle, but overall, it's not bad.
Li Manjun ate a plate of fragrant egg fried rice and felt sleepy, but she couldn't go back to her room and lie down because the soy sauce factory in the next town was still waiting for her to deliver bottles.
He used a towel dipped in cold water and applied it to his face for a minute. After he regained consciousness, Li Manjun took his bag and went out again.
Wang Xiaojuan asked in surprise: "You have stayed up all night, why don't you take a break?"
