Chapter 217

Dongli Village

Money and goods cleared!

Cao Weiguo left, holding the three-legged tripod incense burner lovingly.

The Zhao family emperors, who were of noble origin in the Song Dynasty, had extremely high cultural literacy, liked retro, and valued old ritual vessels.

Three-legged tripod-style incense burners were mostly products of the Northern Song Dynasty's retro style.

If this really was a Song Dynasty incense burner, then he had truly found a treasure.

When Cao Weiguo returned to the brigade, Lu Jin Peng and Chi Ping'an had already arrived.

These two each pedaled a three-wheeled flatbed truck over.

At this time, the villagers had already helped load the truck.

More than thirty sacks were stacked together, then fixed and tied firmly with hemp rope.

After loading this batch of dry goods onto the truck, Cao Weiguo said goodbye to the village chief.

Halfway there, Cao Weiguo asked the two to wait by the side of the road.

He pretended to go to the riverbank, then came back carrying a sack of fish.

"Brother Lu, give me a hand; there's a lot of fish this time."

"Alright!"

Lu Jin Peng got off the truck and followed Cao Weiguo to the riverbank.

He didn't see anyone, only four bulging, constantly moving large sacks.

"The people have already gone back; let's hurry up and load the truck."

Cao Weiguo said: "If we are fast, the fish will still be alive when we get back to the factory."

The two made two trips before they could carry the four sacks of fish back to the truck.

Chi Ping'an looked at the five large sacks of fish and said in shock: "So much fish!"

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "So many villagers caught fish, this isn't much. You work hard and pedal faster; the price for live fish is higher at the factory."

"Don't worry, Weiguo! I came here after eating my fill!"

"I will definitely make sure the fish arrive at the steel rolling factory alive!"

Lu Jin Peng and Chi Ping'an used all their strength, pedaling the three-wheeled truck very fast.

By the time they arrived at the steel rolling factory, both were already soaked with sweat.

Sweat flowed down their necks, and their legs couldn't stop trembling.

However, all this hard work was worth it.

Pulling goods wasn't done for free.

Pulling goods for the steel rolling factory meant getting paid.

Just for one trip, each of them could get two yuan as a hardship fee.

Running a round trip, although tiring, yielded a lot.

Two yuan was almost equal to the daily wage of many workers.

If it weren't for Cao Weiguo's connection, they wouldn't have been able to get such a good job at all.

Over eight hundred jin of fish were unloaded, and the steel rolling factory was full of joy.

The procurement director was even more delighted.

The meat task for this month had already been exceeded.

If this continued, he would definitely be rewarded at the end of the year.

Vice Factory Director Li was also very happy.

If the food is good, the workers are happy, and his reputation is good.

If his reputation is good, his future is good.

Cao Weiguo was also happy.

Over eight hundred jin of fish all came from his farm pond.

Naturally, the money and tickets for the steel rolling factory buying the fish all went into his own pocket.

Two trucks of fish were weighed and put into storage all at once.

Cao Weiguo also gave the money to Lu Jin Peng and Chi Ping'an.

The two were so happy they couldn't close their mouths after receiving the money.

Lu Jin Peng was full of smiles: "Thank you, Weiguo!"

Chi Ping'an was very excited: "Weiguo, let's go out and have a few drinks tonight!"

Cao Weiguo said with a smile: "I have something to do today, let's have me treat you another day when I have time."

Chi Ping'an said: "How can I let you treat me? You introduced me to such a good job, I must be the one to treat."

Cao Weiguo said: "We are all brothers, being polite is meaningless."

Chi Ping'an and Lu Jin Peng couldn't help but feel moved in their hearts.

Cao Weiguo is truly righteous to them!

Because the three-wheeled flatbed truck was rented, the two had to return it as soon as possible.

So they didn't stay long and left the steel rolling factory after chatting for a few words.

The Second Uncle looked at their backs, lost in thought.

These two have gained quite a few benefits following Cao Weiguo.
