Chapter 287: The Diligent Doggy

There were nearly 7,200 liters of diesel on the truck.

At a price of 6.5 yuan, that was nearly 48,000 yuan.

Bai Wei was very happy and paid immediately, buying all the diesel on the truck.

However, there were over a dozen vehicles in Beijiang, as well as motorcycles and fuel-burning Agricultural Machinery, so these 7,000-plus liters of diesel wouldn't last long.

Bai Wei's Mental Power had not yet recovered, so she did not send this batch of diesel over for the time being.

She rested at the Farm for one night to build up her energy.

Early the next morning, the large Truck with dual fuel tanks that she had ordered from the dealership was driven over by a driver sent by the dealership.

The massive truck parked at the entrance of the Farm, drawing a crowd of villagers to watch.

"Bai Wei, buying another vehicle?"

"How much produce can this big truck hold?"

Some villagers were also puzzled, "Bai Wei, we don't usually see you driving a truck, nor do we see you transporting things out; what on earth are you buying such a big truck for?"

Bai Wei smiled and explained to the villagers, "Don't I have a Trade Company in the city? Recently, the volume of business has increased and the goods being transported have also increased, so I bought a large truck to transport goods."

Once she said this, the villagers suddenly understood and praised her for being capable.

"This girl, she runs the company so prosperously all by herself; she's really impressive."

"The Bai Family still doesn't acknowledge Bai Wei; I say they are blind, leaving a mountain of gold and not wanting it."

"That bunch deserves it; if they had been a little better to Bai Wei, maybe they would be getting rich along with her by now."

Amidst the envious gazes of the villagers, Bai Wei jumped into the truck and drove toward the nearest gas station.

She opened Baidu on her phone, and the map showed a large number of gas stations, some near and some far.

Bai Wei made up her mind to start with the nearest gas station.

Vroom!

The large truck drove onto the village road, heading toward the gas station.

The first gas station was in a remote location, next to the highway in a neighboring village, and was very crude.

Bai Wei drove the large truck over and leaned half her body out of the window.

"Fill it up!"

The gas station attendant looked up and was immediately startled.

"You're a young girl, and you're driving such a big truck all by yourself?"

"Yes," Bai Wei smiled, "for a living, you know."

The attendant looked at her with admiration and hurriedly picked up the fuel nozzle to start filling the large truck.

Bai Wei sat in the truck waiting and took out a slip of paper to send a message to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, is the fuel on your side still enough?"

Xiao Moting replied, "Bai, the gasoline and diesel in Beijiang are both running low. I have already ordered the motorcycles to stop running and all the Minivans to be parked in the sheds. For transporting light goods, we use horse-drawn carriages exclusively, and all fuel is supplied to the trucks and Agricultural Machinery."

Bai Wei received the note and pursed her lips in a smile.

"There's no need to save fuel; I will send you a large batch of oil immediately."

She knew it; Xiao Moting was just thin-skinned.

Even though the fuel was already insufficient, he would rather struggle to save it than feel embarrassed to ask her for things.

At this moment, the voice of the gas station worker came from outside the window.

"It's full. 7.2 yuan per liter, 1,300 liters added, for a total of 9,360 yuan."

"Okay, I'll get down to pay."

Bai Wei also clicked her tongue; even though she had hundreds of millions in savings now, having to pay nearly 10,000 yuan for one fill-up of this large truck was still quite a bit of money.

After paying, she immediately drove the large truck back to the village.

While driving, Bai Wei held her phone between her shoulder and ear, calling nearby merchants.

"... I want to buy empty oil drums, yes, the kind with lids, airtight, the bigger the better."

"Find a courier to deliver them to Qingshan Village Farm."

To drain the oil from the large truck, empty oil drums were needed.

This gas station was not far, and Bai Wei soon drove back to the Farm.

A truck was parked at the entrance, loaded with fifty silver-gray steel oil drums. These were industrial oil drums, each capable of holding 200 liters of gasoline.

The oil drums were 200 yuan each, totaling 10,000 yuan, plus 200 yuan for shipping.

Bai Wei paid the bill and then called out to the driver.

"Sir, could you help me unload the oil drums into the courtyard of the Farm? I'll give you 500 yuan for the labor."

Upon hearing this, the driver agreed without a second thought.

The steel oil drums were empty; they looked bulky but were actually very light. He could earn his wages by delivering a load, so why wouldn't he do it?

In less than half an hour, all the steel oil drums were moved off the truck and stacked neatly in the Farm.

Bai Wei immediately closed the Farm gate and locked it.

Then, she called over Chen Ming, who was watering vegetables in the field.

"A Ming, are you free now? Help your sister with a favor."

"Sister Bai, what is it?" Chen Ming scratched his head in confusion and walked over.

Bai Wei pursed her lips and smiled, pointing at the large truck, "I want to put the oil from the truck into these oil drums."

When Chen Ming saw it, he chuckled, "That's a simple job, I'll help you, Sister."

"Good boy," Bai Wei also smiled, "Later, I'll order you two family-sized buckets of fried chicken to help you regain your strength."

Upon hearing there would be family-sized buckets to eat, Chen Ming was so happy he danced with joy.

He loves eating the family bucket.

"Woof woof!"

"Quack quack!"

Dahuang and Cangyun emerged from who knows where; one bird and one dog pounced over, circling around Bai Wei.

Dahuang stuck out its tongue, looking fawning, and kept circling around Bai Wei's legs, its tail wagging with great delight.

Cangyun also stood on a nearby tree branch, calling out anxiously with quacks.

As soon as Bai Wei saw how impatient the two of them were, she knew they were also craving the family bucket.

She reached out her hand and pointed toward the entrance of the Farm.

"You two guard the Farm well for me today, don't let any strangers in, and I'll reward you with the family bucket in a while."

Upon hearing this, Dahuang immediately barked happily.

"Woof!"

After it finished barking, it took off running to the gate, sat down on the ground like a guard, bared its teeth, and glared fiercely at the entrance.

Outside the gate, a few villagers happened to be passing by.

Hearing footsteps, Dahuang immediately rushed to the gate and started barking wildly at the iron door.

"Woof woof woof woof..."

This sudden barking scared the few villagers so much that they ran away, shouting as they fled.

"Ouch, the dog kept at this Farm is too fierce."

"Let's run, if this dog rushes out, it'll tear our flesh off."

Seeing Dahuang being so dutiful, Cangyun was not to be outdone; it flapped its wings, quacking loudly, and then flew up onto the wall to keep a vigilant watch on the surroundings.

A sparrow flew over and landed on the electric fence.

Cangyun immediately flapped its wings and charged forward.

The sparrow was so scared it nearly fell to the ground and hurriedly fled.

Both the bird and the dog were guarding very diligently, no worse than any security guard.

As long as they guarded the yard well, there would be Fried Chicken to eat!

Watching the two of them, Bai Wei felt amused inside.

They were the reliable ones after all!

Ten times better than that timid security guard from last time.

Over here, Chen Ming had already taken a hose, opened the fuel tank cap of the truck, and was draining the diesel fuel from inside.

The diesel flowed along the hose, gurgling into the oil drum.

Bai Wei had been busy all day, so she went to the field to pick a water radish, sat in the yard, and gnawed on the radish while basking in the sun.
