Chapter 926: Sending Grain Home

~7 min read 1,305 words

The grain in these three granaries, although there were all kinds of things, the vast majority were still corn and sorghum.

After all, in this era, corn and sorghum were the highest-yielding crops and also the most important staple food for the local people.

And the grain Wang An kept was mainly these two.

Because for grain used as livestock feed, these two were also the cheapest.

It must be admitted that the police officers of this era were truly efficient. 30,000 to 40,000 jin of grain were all weighed with a few pole scales.

Among them, corn was over 10,000 jin, sorghum was over 10,000 jin, beans like soybeans and black beans were over 4,200 jin, and miscellaneous grains and beans like millet, broomcorn millet, red beans, and cowpeas were over 1,200 jin, and the remaining 3,300-plus jin were rice and wheat.

Of course, there were also 600-plus jin of processed grains, such as sorghum rice, millet, corn flour, and big yellow rice.

As for fine grains like rice and white flour, there wasn't a single jin left.

Clearly, these things were all eaten by Wei Cheng and the others.

Wang An kept 7,000 jin of corn, 2,000 jin of sorghum, 500 jin of rice and wheat each, and finally, Wang An kept all the 600-plus jin of processed grain.

It must be admitted that interpersonal relationships are particularly important and cannot be ignored at any time.

Because before, when Wang An said to Zhang Shuya that he wanted to keep some grain, whether it was Wang An's idea or Zhang Shuya's idea, they both intended to do things according to the rules.

That is to say, the idea of these two was that the grain should be priced according to the weight, and the account should be settled directly by weight.

Anyway, it's just not taking advantage of the public, and not letting oneself suffer.

But when this logistics person in charge calculated the account for Wang An, he still gave a lot of discounts because of Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian's face.

Because he calculated the rice and wheat according to the price of corn and sorghum.

As for the 600-plus jin of processed grain, which were corn flour, sorghum rice, big yellow rice, and millet, the price was increased by 2 cents per jin according to the price of corn kernels.

Finally, after calculating the account, Wang An only paid 373.4 yuan, which is to say, Wang An saved a full 70-plus yuan!

Wang An was now also a police officer, so Wang An thought about it, rode the sidecar, and ran to the supply and marketing cooperative in the township.

He spent 14 yuan to buy 4 cartons of classic Bingcheng cigarettes, and spent 12 yuan to buy 4 bundles of soda, and then Wang An rode the sidecar back to that courtyard.

According to the number of people on the scene, two packs of classic Bingcheng cigarettes must be arranged for each person. Besides, moving grain was so hard, it was very necessary for everyone to drink two bottles of soda.

As for the two squadron leaders and this logistics person in charge, Wang An secretly gave them 2 extra packs each.

Although logically, Wang An should have given this logistics person in charge more, Wang An didn't do so.

Because the reason this logistics person in charge gave Wang An convenience was because of Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian's face; Wang An had no need to flatter him, just enough was fine.

Under Sun Nian's order, all the police officers accepted the cigarettes and soda Wang An gave, and each and every one of them looked quite happy.

There is an old saying that is very good: "Eat people's mouth short, take people's hand soft," so the group of police officers had a very friendly attitude toward Wang An, their new colleague.

Under Sun Nian's arrangement, the group of police officers first loaded the 10,000-plus jin of grain Wang An bought into a big truck.

Then Wang An rode the sidecar to lead the way, and this big truck followed and went to Wang An's home.

Hearing the roar of the car and the unique sound of the sidecar that sounded like farting, Mu Xueqing and Wang Yi and the two little girls all ran out of the room.

Seeing Wang An in a police uniform and a group of police officers jumping off the car one after another, Mu Xueqing and Wang Yi were stunned and couldn't speak.

The two little girls who were running over also couldn't help but stop their steps, not like usual, seeing Wang An and pouncing on him to let their big brother hold them.

Seeing the performance of these four people, Wang An felt it was quite interesting, walked up with a grin, and while touching the little heads of the two younger sisters, said to them:

"What's the matter? Don't recognize your big brother anymore? Hahahaha..."

As he spoke, Wang An picked up the two younger sisters, one on the left and one on the right.

It wasn't until Wang An spoke that Mu Xueqing recovered from the shock and subconsciously asked Wang An:

"Xiao An, what's going on? Whose clothes did you borrow to wear home?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Xueqing actually said such a sentence. Wang An just wanted to speak, only to see Wang Yi, who also recovered, laugh:

"Big brother, you look really good in this, too handsome."

To tell the truth, Wang An at this time, wearing a big cap, wearing a fit police uniform, and wearing military boots, indeed looked quite decent.

Wang An smiled proudly at Wang Yi and then said to Mu Xueqing with a grin:

"What borrowed clothes, I am now a proper security Lianfangyuan, the kind that can earn a salary every month, hahahaha... Do I look quite energetic?"

Mu Xueqing still wanted to speak, but a police officer who jumped off the car suddenly shouted over there:

"Brother Xiao An, which room should this grain be unloaded into?"

Hearing this, Wang An hurriedly answered and turned back to say to Mu Xueqing:

"We'll talk tonight, I bought some grain back, I'll go unload the grain first."

After speaking, Wang An put down the two little younger sisters in his arms and turned to run toward the car.

Because Wang An couldn't call out the names of these people, and the police officers were all quite busy, Wang An didn't introduce them simply to Mu Xueqing.

Under Wang An's command, the big truck stopped at the door of the east wing room, and then Wang An took off his short sleeves and started carrying grain into the granary with a group of police officers.

It wouldn't work not to take it off, because this was a newly worn short sleeve, and the key was that Wang An only had this one, not even one for changing.

So if he wore it to carry grain and got it dirty, Wang An wouldn't be able to show off to his parents.

Including Wang An, a total of 15 young guys worked together, and the work was quite fast. 10,000-plus jin of grain was all unloaded in only 20 minutes.

After unloading the grain, Wang An wanted to keep the group of police officers to drink some water, but these people didn't even enter Wang An's house.

Helplessly, Wang An had to distribute a cigarette to each of them, said some words of thanks, and then they all sat in the car and returned.

After sending away the group of police officers, Wang An washed his upper body simply and rode the sidecar to the township again.

Thanks to "Liu Tiegang" for the reward, thank you, thank you!
