NOVEL NEXT Chapter 256: 256 ready
After finishing all of this, it was already two days later. Su Yuanyuan drove the cart, bringing along sheep and two bags of corn flour. A cart full of winter melons, pork, and cotton seeds went to the Zhao Family.
This time she directly went to Zhao Qingjie's house, as the livestock needed someone trusted to help feed them.
"Xiao Li, I need to go to the city today, can you take me there?"
"Sure, isn't Accountant Zhang going with you?"
"I'll tell him to meet me in the city the day after tomorrow; I have to deliver the pork. And these cotton seeds need to be pressed into oil."
"Alright, let's go now."
"Leave the corn flour, winter melons, and sheep here."
Zhao Yanping didn't refuse, "I'll go with you two, otherwise, it's too unsafe for Xiao Li to return alone."
In the end, it was the three girls together.
Originally, Su Yuanyuan didn't intend to bring the cottonseed oil, but she thought it might exchange for some money. So she decided to take it along; after all, she wouldn't use it herself.
At the supply station, she handed over the introduction letter and informed Accountant Zhang to just find her at the train station.
The three of them arrived in the city late at night. Su Yuanyuan rented a room for her sisters to rest while she delivered the meat, just as a formality. At six in the morning, Su Yuanyuan drove the cart to the oil mill. She arrived early and was the first in line, so by the time Zhao Yanli and her sister arrived after ten, the cottonseed oil was ready.
"Yuanyuan, aren't you taking this oil back?"
"No, I promised someone already. You guys should hurry back; I can go to the train station alone. Be careful on the way, these are some snacks you can eat cold."
This time, Su Yuanyuan pressed sixty pounds of cottonseed oil, so after the Zhao sisters left, she herself carried three buckets of cottonseed oil and left as well.
These sixty pounds of cottonseed oil were really heavy, and she walked a long way before storing them away. She went to the hotel, where she hadn't checked out yet. Accountant Zhang wouldn't arrive until the next day, so she stayed the night in the hotel. No need to inconvenience herself.
The next morning she went to the train station to wait for Accountant Zhang. Honestly, she was unsure if they could obtain the fertilizer. Accountant Zhang arrived after nine, and the two of them directly bought train tickets and boarded the train.
After getting off the train, Su Yuanyuan didn't go directly to the fertilizer plant. "Accountant Zhang, I want to ask that driver. He told me that if there are difficulties, I can look for him. His home is just beside the transport team."
Accountant Zhang had no objections whatsoever. So the two of them went straight over.
They really found Zhou Yongbing.
"Mr. Zhou, it's great, I just came over on a whim. I was afraid you had gone out on a trip."
"I just got back yesterday. Mr. Su, what brings you here?"
Su Yuanyuan told him that the supply station needed fertilizer, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any connections that might help us get some?"
"I can only manage ten tons, I won't be able to help with more than that."
"That's already very good, don't worry, we won't let Mr. Zhou help for nothing."
Zhou Yongbing smiled shyly. "No need, no need, my brother-in-law works at the fertilizer plant, I'll just ask him tonight."
"We truly appreciate it, Mr. Zhou. We're staying at the hotel, please let us know if there's any news."
"Sure, no problem."
The two of them left, both feeling relieved. "Xiao Su, you try asking your contact as well, so you'll feel at ease knowing it's all sorted."
"Alright, let's go to the hotel first, then I'll go ask."
Su Yuanyuan found that workshop director again, and they agreed. Things were set for the day after tomorrow to load the car.
This way, Su Yuanyuan could relax. The fertilizer will be unloaded directly at the Li Family, so there'll be someone to guard it.
Everything at home was arranged, so here it would be straightforward to load the car and send it over.
Su Yuanyuan was afraid that something unexpected might happen, so she went with the director straight to the fertilizer plant and paid for the ten tons, making it a done deal.
Upon returning, Accountant Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. If things didn't work out with Xiao Su, the ten tons from that driver would have been personal. Luckily, Xiao Su managed it.
That evening, they met Zhou Yongbing, who also secured ten tons.
Su Yuanyuan told Accountant Zhang to handle it the same way as hers. A hundred yuan should be given to the person for the ten tons as a favor.
Accountant Zhang knew this from last year, and the few leaders at the supply station approved the payment as well.
He recalled before leaving, during a meeting, Feng Baoshan mocked them, saying that two half-grown kids managed to donate benefits for those sixty tons of fertilizer.
Accountant Zhang could still remember the expressions of several people. They always did things that harmed others without benefiting themselves. Xiao Su didn't submit cotton; none of the three other families did, nor did Ma Changshun. You couldn't just take so much when others had been busy for months, expecting them to give it to you?
"Xiao Su, ten tons is too little."
"Accountant Zhang, let's go over there and ask. If it doesn't work out, that's all we can do."
Based on her contacts, she already informed Zhou Yongbing that it was personal matters completed, but she had to send the delivery out, so in the next two days, she tagged along with Accountant Zhang to check for opportunities. If they could find something, great; if not, they'd at least tried their best.
In the end, they went to the fertilizer plant manager, who gave them another ten tons.
"Accountant Zhang, we've done our best."
"Yes, getting this much is already very good."
Su Yuanyuan watched as the three vehicles left. Then she headed to the train station.
She chose a train with the shortest waiting time and boarded it.
At the first stop, she didn't gain much, but she managed to change it into a few hundred yuan. Then her luck was unstoppable.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the one thousand taels of Jinyu, her mouth wide open in surprise.
Three hundred pounds of beef, one thousand pounds of rice, and two hundred pounds of pork were exchanged for this much.
She cherished these Jinyu, checking their quality with her divine sense. The quality was indeed quite good.
"Young comrade, I have many more of these that you like, but they can't be exchanged for those anymore."
Su Yuanyuan was stunned, "Comrade, what else can be used? That's all I have, I've given everything to you."
"Young comrade, let's not beat around the bush. I want something from you that allows for immortality."
Su Yuanyuan was taken aback, "Immortality? I didn't know I even had such a thing in hand?"
"I feel that you have it. I've always practiced martial arts, and I know you're also practicing."
This middle-aged man eagerly tried to prove something to Su Yuanyuan. They saw him exerting his energy, veins bulging on his forehead, standing in a horse stance, making pushing gestures with his hands, and the Jinyu on the lid of the box truly started to lift up.
Su Yuanyuan's mind raced, but her expression was one of such surprise. And also admiration.
"Master, you're incredible. What is this?"
