Chapter 76 First Order: Village Folks [First Order Request]

"Father-in-law, how about we make a bet? I bet that I can't give out the money in my hand."

Lu Yang raised a stack of money in his hand. He had just borrowed 300 yuan in cash from his father-in-law.

Old Man Yin was puzzled and asked, "Why can't it be sent out? Are you still trying to deceive them?"

It's true that I can't bear to leave.

But if you promise and then go back on your word and don't pay, that's even worse.

Fellow villagers, Old Man Yin cannot afford to lose face.

Lu Yang smiled and said, "Of course I won't lie to them. I always keep my word. I promised 1 cents per piece of cloth for the unloading fee, and I won't give these folks a penny less."

Old Man Yin was puzzled: "Then why do you say that the money cannot be distributed? You don't think that the villagers will be modest and refuse to take your money, do you?"

Lu Yang shook his head: "Of course not, father-in-law, just tell me whether you want to make this bet or not?"

Old Man Yin snorted: "Then how do you want to fight?"

Lu Yang chuckled, "Just bet on the 300 yuan in my hand. If I win, I won't return the money to you. My pockets are empty now, so I'll invite Dajun, my cousin, Ping'an and the others to go to the city for a meal someday. You've all worked so hard for so long."

Old Man Yin's face gradually darkened: "What if you lose? It won't be without a price, right?"

This kid has been exploding his gold coins at a high frequency recently.

Lu Yang chuckled again: "Of course not. How about this, each piece of cloth here is worth no less than 50 yuan. If I lose, I will let you pick out ten pieces of cloth and take them home. How about that?"

Old Man Yin: “Really?”

Lu Yang: "Of course I take it seriously."

Old Man Yin: “Once the words are spoken.”

Lu Yang: "It's hard to catch up with the old man."

"it is good."

Old man Yin slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

He didn't believe that he would lose this time.

After I win, I must choose carefully and bring back ten pieces of cloth to piss this kid off and let him also taste the pain of losing money.

Lu Yang felt that it was too early for his father-in-law to be happy.

I couldn't help but think guiltily: 1 foot of cloth is 6 yuan, 1 meter of cloth is 1 yuan, 8 roll of cloth is 1 yuan, the retail price is like this, and I am only saying that they are worth 58 yuan now. This should not be considered as cheating my father-in-law, right?

Before the bet even started, Lu Yang had already won.

The price he paid for a piece of the best material here was less than 20 yuan. Even if he lost the bet and let his father-in-law pick ten pieces of good material from here, he would only get 200 yuan at most, but he would still make a net profit of 100.

Not to mention if I win, I’ll just make 300.

Forget it, let’s just make my father-in-law happy so that he won’t be too sad when he loses later.

Lu Yang shook his head.

He was naturally confident that he would win.

Because of human nature.

With so many villagers helping, the unloading speed was incredibly fast. In less than two hours, the sun had just set and the sky was slightly dark, and ten trucks, 40 tons, and 3000 pieces of cloth had been unloaded completely.

When the money can be distributed.

The expected trouble came.

Some people said that they didn't want money, but wanted fabric. It was a rare opportunity, and it was the New Year, so they were thinking of making new clothes for their family. They just hoped that Lu Yang would give them a lower price because of the blind date in the same village.

Okay.

As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately responded to by everyone. It cost money, but there was not much money in total.

But as for the cloth, Lu Yang, for the sake of his fellow villagers, it would be nice if he didn't give them more, right?

Well, he has so many anyway.

"I, I want some cloth too."

"And me, Brother Lu, we used to pee together when we were kids. It shouldn't be too much to measure a few more feet of cloth for me, right?"

"Hey, kid from the Lu family, I'm your second aunt, and my husband is your relative. Just tell me, give me the cloth or not. I won't ask for more from you. I'll just give you 20 cents off the market price. Do you think it's okay? Just tell me whether it's okay or not."

"Brother Lu, Brother Yang, I'm Erya, we were classmates in elementary school, I sat in front of you, and you once pulled my braids and made me cry, remember? My dad chased you for ten miles but couldn't catch up with you. Can you please exchange some fabric for my family today? My dad and my brother just helped you carry more than a hundred pieces of fabric into the warehouse, okay?"

"Son-in-law of the old Yin family, I am also from the old Yin family. My last name is Yin, and your father-in-law has to call me uncle. Do you see the walking stick in my hand? My daughter-in-law is right in front of you. Please calculate for her how much cloth my son and daughter-in-law have carried for you and how much money they can exchange for. Is it enough? We don't want the money. We will exchange it all for cloth to make shrouds for this old man. Please give me a discount. If not, I will hit your father-in-law with this walking stick."

It's chaos, it's all chaos.

Why are we fellow villagers?

The key is the word "close".

Normally, nothing happens, and they have nothing to do with each other. But if something really happens, no matter whether it is good or bad, they will always be related.

In ancient times, that person would be considered one of the nine clans, and when playing Candy Crush Saga, he would not care whether you enjoyed the blessing of that person or not.

But Lu Yang was not panicked at all.

This was also within his expectations.

"The old village chief is here. Let him speak. There are so many of you here, and how can I hear you all clearly?"

"Okay, I already understand your demands."

"How about this, let the old village chief be a witness. If the villagers want cloth, then give them cloth. I am a generous person, so I will follow the advice of the aunt just now. You can go to the market in town to buy it at 6 cents a foot. Here, it will only be 4 cents tonight, and I will give each household an extra 3 feet as a token of my gratitude to all the villagers for coming to support this event. Is that okay?"

"Remember, this is only tonight. After tonight, don't come looking for me, Lu Yang."

"middle?"

"Okay, Dajun, big cousin, Ping'an, hurry up and bring the fabrics. Bring me one of each color of the best fabrics so that the villagers can choose whatever they want. You can cut whatever you choose. We will just have to work for two more hours tonight so that we can attend the village fair."

Amidst a chorus of cheers and applause.

Lu Yang set the rules.

Then he greeted his father-in-law cheerfully, waved the banknotes in his hand, took the bag handed over by his wife, opened it and took out nine packs of cigarettes. These were prepared for his driver friend. Although the driver was paid by the textile factory, Lu Yang couldn't help but show some appreciation for his hard work.

"My dear brothers, you have seen the situation. I am afraid I don't have time to treat you to a meal. This is Daqianmen. I am smoking Shencheng cigarettes. This is just a small token of my respect. Goodbye, dear brothers. Drive slowly on the road."

Every time Lu Yang came to a big truck.

Just knock on the window.

Then pass the cigarette in.

The drivers were also happy. A pack of cigarettes was nothing to the factory leaders, but for the little soldiers like them, it was a pleasant surprise. The key point was that this was from Daqianmen and it was not available locally, so it was considered a scarce commodity.

Besides, we had to rush back overnight. Zhao County was not far from the city, only about 30 to 40 kilometers away. Even if the road was difficult to travel on, it would only take two hours at most if the car was empty.

If I rush back at this time, maybe I can even have a meal in the cafeteria, which is just right.

"Give my regards to Deputy Director Nie."

"Just say that this batch of cloth has been sold out and I will look for him again."

Lu Yang left a hook at the end.

Then he waved and watched the driver friends go on their way.
