Good luck every time
Chapter 277 Chance Encounter
The driver's eyes lit up when he heard this, but then dimmed immediately and he tried cautiously.
"I don't need you to feed me, but can you give me some food first?"
It’s not that Li Ruyi doesn’t trust him, but he is worried that he eats too little and won’t be able to work.
However, seeing the other party's embarrassment and the fact that the two parties had been cooperating for so long, she agreed immediately.
"Okay! I'll give you half first, and I'll give you the other half when you come back."
The driver was in ecstasy and kept agreeing.
There were even a few more rare words.
"It's hard to buy food now. Several grain stores in the county say they are out of food. There is only a certain amount of food every day. Once it's sold out, there will be no more. No matter how much money you spend, you can't buy more..."
Li Ruyi understands that when food becomes a luxury item, reducing the quantity sold can not only save costs but also increase prices.
"Ah... black-hearted grain dealer!"
Li Ruyi also sighed, she couldn't change anything.
After chatting with the driver for a while, Li Ruyi went to look for people around to collect insurance premiums.
Logically speaking, it's not impossible for Li Ruyi to ask the driver to introduce other people to her.
But if you get in touch with more people, you will find that most of the people around an honest person are those who take advantage of him, rather than honest people like him.
Li Ruyi trusted the driver's character, but not his vision.
When it comes to work, you still have to find people who know how to do the work.
Sure enough, those who can collect insurance premiums here are all smart people. As soon as Li Ruyi told him his purpose, he immediately recruited several people for Li Ruyi.
All of this was done in accordance with Li Ruyi's request.
After asking for everyone's opinions, Li Ruyi looked at their cars again, selected three more suitable ones, and let the others go.
Before leaving, she threw a gourd of wine to the person who collected the insurance premium.
The relationship between the two parties is maintained entirely by this thing!
After confirming it, Li Ruyi went home and moved the grain out. She advanced half of the grain to the driver and agreed that he would bring others to her house to pick up the goods early the next morning.
The driver agreed eagerly.
The next day, before daybreak and before Li Ruyi had finished practicing, a group of people arrived.
These people must have gotten up in the middle of the night, worried that they would get delayed on the way if they left too late.
I was also afraid of delaying the master's business.
Now that everyone is here, they have to have a meal.
There are many people eating now, and the eldest sister and Acai are too busy in the morning, so Li Shiwu will bring his younger brother to help light the fire.
Cook in two big pots together. After the rice is out of the pot, use two large spoons of lard to cook some soup, add some chopped dried vegetables, sprinkle some salt, and pour it on the rice. It will taste delicious!
After dinner, everyone started to work.
Li Ershi led people to load the truck.
Li Ruyi was counting the items in and out of the warehouse, and waited until everything was packed and counted.
She then led her people out.
When leaving the village, many people came to see him. Li Ruyi said that he was scolded for not exchanging food for the other two days and no one dared to come to his house.
However, if Li Ruyi was not at home, I wonder if they would find Li Jixiang, who is easier to talk to.
Although the Li brothers stayed at the Li family all day, Li Ruyi was still worried!
But this is the current situation. If she takes advantage of this momentum to expand her business, she will have to bear the consequences.
As for when things will get better, we can only wait.
Wait until people like Li Ershi and Li Shiliu truly grow up.
Or the eldest sister can stand up herself and suppress all those troublemakers.
Perhaps there were people in the caravan who specialized in transporting goods this time, so everyone was moving much faster than last time.
Before it got dark they arrived at the place where Li Ruyi had found to camp several times before.
This is an open space. I don’t know who built a shed here. There is a spring not far away. Water comes out of it even in winter. There are signs of many people camping nearby.
There was no one in the shed at the moment, but Li Ruyi didn't occupy all the space either.
It's too early now, and no one knows if anyone will come from behind. It's easy to lose things if you move in the dark.
The animals were untied and each one gave them a sack of hay mixed with wheat bran, and the animals began to eat from the open sacks.
Li Ruyi also set up a pot, boiled water in it, threw in two salted fish, and it became a pot of soup.
The dry food was all pre-baked pancakes, which were not difficult to eat with hot soup.
Although there was no ration, Li Ruyi saw that some people only had two meals a day, each of which consisted of a cold, hard steamed bun, so he still asked them to come over and make some soup, and also gave each of them a piece of bread.
I still have to work in the future. It’s okay if I don’t eat enough, but how can I have the strength if I eat so little?
Those rickshaw drivers were used to seeing all kinds of masters, and they were very moved to see Li Ruyi being so kind.
They are used to being beaten and ignored, and have not yet developed unnecessary greed like those people in Sanjia Village.
Because there were so many people, everyone lit two fires.
When it was time to go to bed at night, they would just move the fire to another location and everyone would spread out straw mats and sleep on the ground that had been warmed by the fire.
The fire was burning, the goods were piled in the vent, and it was not the coldest season yet, so the night was not that unbearable.
Li Ruyi and Li Ershi kept watch separately, and they could meditate when they were not sleeping.
After everyone finished eating and working, they sat together and chatted about everything under the sun.
Last time, there were villagers all around, and everyone was talking about village affairs, but this time was different. The rickshaw drivers had a lot of experience, and they drank a few sips of wine to keep warm, so they started chatting in no time.
The patriarch's sons were all stunned by what they heard.
I don't know who started singing the little tune, but everyone hummed along and learned a few lines.
Li Ruyi did not participate. She stayed up for the second half of the night and had fallen asleep next to Li Er.
When I’m away from home, this cousin and junior brother is still very reliable!
When everyone had finished chatting and gathered in groups of three or four to pee and were preparing to go back to sleep, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the official road in the distance.
"There's fire!"
Someone shouted in the dark night, and the sounds of horse hooves all came towards this side.
Li Er turned around and saw that the sleeping Li Ruyi sat up instantly.
It is very dangerous for merchants or travelers to sleep outdoors at night.
Sometimes a person's goodness or evilness depends on just a single thought.
This has nothing to do with whether the other party has money or not.
The horses approached quickly, and a group of seven or eight people stopped in front of the shed.
A man dismounted and came over to check. After finding Li Ruyi and his gang, he turned around and greeted the people behind him.
"Uncle, there's a shed here!"
