Liu Qingyu observed for a while, and the bald scalper had already walked to the driver of a large truck in front of Liu Qingyu and the others, patted the driver's window and said: "Master, do you want to pass the test smoothly? According to the regulations, you The car will definitely be deducted 12 points and fined 500."
The driver was also an old man who sold food. He was naturally familiar with the business of these scalpers, so he asked: "How do you charge here?"
"Give me 400 yuan, and I'll guarantee you a smooth customs clearance without any deductions or fines," the bald man said with certainty.
"Then what should I do if the traffic police stops me?" the driver asked.
"Don't worry about this. If you give me the money, I will contact them immediately and report your license plate number. Naturally, they will not intercept you. And even if they intercept you, you only need to Tell me your name and they will let you go." The bald man said with certainty.
"Then what if I get fined? How can I find you?" the driver said, deliberately pretending to be worried.
The bald man smiled and said: "Well, just remember my phone number. If you are worried, you can call me. If you want to clear customs next time you sell grain, you can also contact me. I promise to give you the best advice." Preferential price. I am very particular about integrity when doing business. Nowadays, many people come through my channel. There is no way I would waste tens of thousands of dollars a day just to cheat you out of 400 dollars."
As he spoke, the bald man showed his arrogance. Then, the bald man gave his phone number. The driver took down the bald man's number, asked for his name, and spoke in front of the bald man. After dialing in person and confirming that the phone number mentioned by the bald man was genuine, he took out 400 yuan and handed it to the bald man.
After the bald man took the money, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. Then he reported his license plate number in front of the driver. After the call, the bald man said with a smile: "Okay, you can rest assured. We’re waiting, don’t have anything to worry about.”
After saying that, the bald man strolled to the side of Liu Qingyu's truck. He glanced at it and seemed to feel that there was no oil or water in the truck, so he ignored the truck and walked towards the driver behind it.
Time passed by minute by second, and the bald man had already disappeared from Liu Qingyu's sight, and their truck was also slowly crawling forward. After more than an hour, this The car finally arrived at the traffic intersection, and more than a dozen traffic policemen were lined up on both sides, inspecting the passing vehicles one by one.
Liu Qingyu noticed that when the traffic police checked the car of the driver of the large truck who handed the bald man 400 yuan in front of them, one of the traffic police glanced at the driver's license plate number, then waved his hand and said: " Okay, come on over."
Following the traffic policeman's command, the railing in front opened, and the driver of the large truck drove over with a hint of joy on his face, but there was a bit of sadness and helplessness hidden in this joy.
Why, why is it so difficult for us farmers to sell some grain, and why are there always people trying to take advantage of us? The driver has been thinking about these questions his whole life, but he still can't figure it out. He can only sigh deeply.
Guo Chengzhu's car was inspected. The traffic policeman looked at Guo Chengzhu's car up and down, then pointed at a 25 cm square leak in the truck and said: "Your car is illegally modified. The fine is 200. If you issue a ticket, it will be 300." , which one do you choose?”
Hearing what the traffic police said, Guo Chengzhu suddenly became anxious and said loudly: "Comrade traffic police, almost every grain truck must be equipped with this kind of leak. If it is not installed with this kind of leak, the grain depot will not accept your grain." of."
The traffic policeman said with a gloomy face: "Why does the grain depot ask you? That is the matter of the grain depot. We are the traffic police. We only care about our duties. Do you have any objection to the fact that your car is illegally modified? If so, , you can complain to us through administrative review and complaint. Well, we are very busy and don’t have time to chat with you. Which fine method do you choose, or are there other options?”
Liu Qingyu frowned when he heard the traffic policeman's words. Liu Qingyu could tell from the traffic policeman's words that the reason why the traffic policeman said he would be fined was also valid, and Guo Chengzhu was also aware of this matter. But now there is a more acute problem. In order to facilitate the loading of grain in the grain depot, farmers who sell grain are required to install funnels on their cars to ensure that the grain can be quickly loaded on the conveyor belt, so that the grain can be directly transported to the grain depot.
Nowadays, farmers selling grain cannot do it without modification. Without modification, they cannot sell grain. Even if they modify it, the traffic police will fine you money. Farmers selling grain are in a dilemma.
Liu Qingyu frowned and took out another 300 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the traffic policeman and said: "300 yuan, issue a ticket."
Hearing that tickets were about to be issued, the traffic policeman glanced at Liu Qingyu in surprise. There were really not many people asking for tickets. The traffic policemen really didn't dare to take it lightly. What they were most afraid of was that reporters would sneak into the grain sellers. , if their behavior is exposed, it will be a bit troublesome, but the only thing that makes them feel at ease is that the fines they impose on modified cars and prohibited vehicles are legal.
Liu Qingyu just looked at the traffic policeman indifferently. The other party couldn't tell anything from Liu Qingyu's face, so he took out the bill he had already issued and handed it to Liu Qingyu, and then waved his hand to Liu Qingyu. Their car passed by.
After the car passed by, one of the traffic policemen scratched his forehead and said: "Captain Lu, why do I feel that the person who paid the money just now looks so familiar? He looks quite similar to Mayor Liu of Lanshan City. "
Captain Lu was the traffic policeman who was in charge of collecting money just now. He thought about it and nodded and said: "Well, they do look similar, but this man has no taste in his clothes and appearance, and he just sells food." The farmers who came here together may be the relatives and sons of farmers who sell grains. China is such a big country and there are too many people who look alike, but not everyone has the temperament of Mayor Liu. If today’s car If the person on the bus is really Mayor Liu, I’m afraid we will be in trouble on the spot.”
"Well, Captain Lu's analysis is correct. If it were really Mayor Liu, he would have dealt with us directly on the spot." A traffic policeman immediately flattered Captain Lu.
A look of pride immediately appeared on Captain Lu's face. Leaders like to hear these flattery words the most, not to mention that he felt that his analysis was quite correct.
After passing the traffic jam, Guo Chengzhu could finally breathe a long sigh of relief. He looked at the long convoy of grain sellers in front of him, with a look of hope on his face. As long as it was his turn to sell the grain, My son’s living expenses for the next semester can be paid out.
Liu Qingyu looked at Guo Chengzhu's hopeful eyes and felt very uncomfortable. He could feel Guo Chengzhu's desire to exchange food for money at this moment, but he was also worried about what hardships Guo Chengzhu would encounter in the future. But Liu Qingyu Yu analyzed it carefully and found that the most difficult journey has been completed. Now that we have arrived at the grain depot, we should not encounter any more hardships. The collection of grain by the grain depot is a business matter and no one will make things difficult for the farmers anymore. Alright.
For more than four hours, Liu Qingyu and Guo Chengzhu began a long wait together.
When it was almost Guo Chengzhu's turn to sell grain, the person in charge of collecting grain in front looked at the time. It was already past 11 o'clock, and the sun was fierce, so he waved and said, "Okay, let's get this first in the morning. Let’s go have lunch first, take a short rest, and then continue collecting at 2 p.m.”
After saying that, the person in charge of collecting food tidied up the scene, locked all the office areas and left.
Guo Chengzhu and Liu Qingyu could only continue to wait and suffer. Fortunately, at this time, there were some smart vendors carrying baskets and selling various foods and mineral water, although the prices were a little expensive. , but in order to solve the problem of hunger, Liu Qingyu still spent money to buy all the food in the vendor's basket, because he knew that this guy Cheng Tieniu had a very big appetite, and if he bought less, it might not be enough for Cheng Tieniu. It's stuck between teeth.
Afterwards, everyone casually ate for a while and then began the long and painful wait.
It was not until about 2:30 in the afternoon that the staff of the grain depot came back slowly and shouted: "The next grain truck is coming in."
Guo Chengzhu drove a small truck into the grain sales area. One of the staff members picked up a special-shaped grain quality sampling inspection tool, inserted it into the grain truck, took out some samples, and pretended to check it before saying : "The grain registration of your truck is grade 3, the quality is medium, and the price is 1.05 yuan per catty."
Hearing that the grain quality was only rated as Level 3, Guo Chengzhu was a little reluctant and said loudly: "Master, all my grains are dried. They are definitely Grade 1 quality. At worst, you have to give it Grade 2." .”
The staff member's face immediately darkened and he said, "Are you the inspector or am I the inspector? If I say Level 3, it's Level 3. Do you want to sell it or not?"
"Sell, sell, sell." Guo Chengzhu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. It's already this time. The children at home are waiting for the money from selling food to use as college living expenses. This food must be sold no matter what.
"That's good, let's go to the floor scale." The sampling inspector pointed in the direction of the floor scale.
Guo Chengzhu drove the car onto the weighing scale and stopped for a while, then got off the weighing scale under the instructions of the staff. The weighing staff in front said: "The fully loaded vehicle weighs 6 tons. After unloading the grain, come back and weigh it again." "
"Six tons, Master, did you read the scale wrong? The weight of my car is 1.5 tons. When it came, I had loaded a full 5 tons of grain. It should be 6.5 tons." Guo Chengzhu's head was full. Khan said.
Hearing what Guo Chengzhu said, Liu Qingyu felt his heart bleed, and waves of anger began to brew deep in his heart.
