I don't have a system but I have a hammer

Maybe it’s been a long time since I’ve been praised like this by someone. My slightly contrived compliment obviously made the man in the raincoat feel that the earth has lost its gravity, but then he asked a new question...

"Then you come here..."

I nodded, drank the last sip of ginger soup, and gave an explanation...

"Now, the goods in Yunnan have already been prepared, but you know that the world is not peaceful now, and there are so many bosses who owe money, so there are not many drivers who dare to travel long distances, so my uncle is in a hurry..."

Seeing that the man in the raincoat frowned again, I hurriedly added...

"My uncle's meaning is very simple, his old customers are all nearby, so he wants to resume his old business here, and I happen to be doing oil press maintenance in nearby Huilong Town, so let me come over to see the situation in the factory ..."

"Who knows that the machines in the factory have been removed long ago, and my uncle can't get in touch with the original batch of workers, let alone the long-distance masters, and there are few people in Yunnan who dare to travel long distances. Now I am worried. What about this..."

While talking, I pouted my lips in the back room, handed a cigarette to the man in the raincoat, and thanked him...

"Actually, I went out early this morning. I just wanted to see which factories nearby were still open. I wondered if I could find a long-distance driver to pick up the job. Who would have thought that the electric car was out of battery. Fortunately, I met You guys, thank you so much..."

A meticulous rhetoric and a sincere thank you without any falsehood completely dispelled the doubts in the raincoat man's eyes, and his question afterward really put me at ease...

"Haha, thank you, no need. By the way, can I ask, what's your uncle's name?"

Smiling, I casually said the name I had just queried, lit a cigarette with confidence, and puffed...

That's right, as long as this question is asked, it means that the man in the raincoat has already agreed with my statement, and as long as I can answer it without thinking, wearing the armor of lies will be recognized by the world again!

"Hey, let me tell you, it turned out to be him. He is indeed quite famous in our area, but his reputation is not very good. It is said that he often owes people wages..."

Seeing the sudden realization of the man in the raincoat, I scratched my head in embarrassment...

"You mean, that's why I was sent to check on the situation in the factory, but now that he has money on hand, he can't get in touch with the original workers to make up the wages, after all..."

Speaking of this, the raincoat man's eyes were full of regret...

"Hey, who's to say it's not? A large number of people died in our Hulan Village. If we didn't have a cellar in our house, and there were a lot of food and goods, I'm afraid we would have become lonely ghosts..."

Feeling slightly emotional for a moment, I pretended not to care and stated my purpose...

"By the way, brother, you are also in transportation. Do you know anyone nearby who would be willing to take this job?"

The man in the raincoat thought for a moment, then shook his head...

"This kind of job is usually not picked up. After all, you have to post the money yourself at the beginning, and it often happens that you go for nothing..."

I squinted...

"What about paying the deposit in advance?"

The man in the raincoat was taken aback when he heard the words, and suddenly lowered his body, with a little heartbeat in his eyes...

"How many?"

I stick out a blistered finger...

"Ten thousand! Including the round-trip fuel fee!"

The man in the raincoat opened his mouth wide in surprise, and confirmed again in disbelief...

But after getting a definite answer, he shook his head dejectedly again...

"Unfortunately, the truck is not mine, otherwise I will definitely pick it up this trip, but if you can really afford this price, you don't have to worry about no one picking up the job..."

Although I was a little disappointed in my heart, I didn't show it too much, but explained with a smile...

"Yeah, the problem is that I don't know many truck masters, and many truck masters died in the disaster, so I can't find anyone... By the way, if you can help me find someone, I can give you some agency fees... "

The man in the raincoat was taken aback when he heard the words, his dejected eyes lit up, and he took out the communicator...

"Let me ask for you..."

Sure enough, money can turn ghosts around...

After thinking for a while, I also pretended to be connected to the voice with "Uncle"...

After 5 minutes, I went back to the canteen and smiled at the man in the raincoat...

"My uncle said, anyway, I will use the car in the future. I asked if the truck is for sale. If it is okay, I will sell the car to us. I will take the order alone..."

That's right, everyone who runs long distances knows that under normal circumstances, two drivers take turns to drive, but there are also some who choose to take orders alone if they want money or life...

Seeing the hesitant appearance of the man in the raincoat who seemed unable to make a decision, I inserted a copper-smelling sword into his heart again...

"If you help us negotiate, I'll give you another two thousand as an intermediary fee. What do you think?"

...

As the evening approached, I looked at the minivan in front of me and couldn't help laughing with satisfaction...

It is true that a second-hand manual transmission minivan is worth 2 yuan at most at the moment, and it is not worth my [-] yuan, but it is undoubtedly the most perfect escape tool for me now...

After all, I dare not take the big road at all, and the small road is too remote, and it is difficult to find a fast charging box, so having this small truck is undoubtedly a timely help for me...

"Little brother, eat dinner at my house before leaving, don't worry about rushing at this moment..."

Of course, I need to do something else...

Responding with a smile, I lifted the electric car onto the truck, put the guitar bag on the driver's seat by the way, and finally put the waterproof cloth on, then turned and entered the canteen...

"Come and sit in the back room. My wife is cooking, and we haven't had any guests for a long time..."

The man in the raincoat who got the windfall was obviously very enthusiastic. While taking off his coat, he beckoned me to sit down...

And I glanced at his coat hanging on the wall, thought for a moment, smiled and said...

"By the way, brother, can I buy some dried noodles and pots with you, and I can cook and eat by myself on the way..."

The man in the raincoat hurriedly waved his hands...

"Look at what you said, my brother will bring you some, by the way, do you want me to put it in the car for you..."

I smiled and took out the car keys to him...

"Then it's troublesome brother..."

Watching the man in the raincoat leave, I quickly glanced at the movement in the kitchen and found that the old man and the pregnant woman were busy, so I immediately took the coat off the wall and touched it...

Overjoyed, I quickly took out the raincoat man's wallet from it, and took a photo of his ID card and driver's license with the communicator, and finally put the jacket back in place, and returned to the seat as if nothing had happened and took a sip of tea...

Hmm~ this tea is good!

An hour and a half later, after dinner, I changed the medicine on my face with the help of the pregnant woman, and then said goodbye to the hospitable raincoat family...

Sitting in the minivan, I glanced at the coordinates on the navigation, hiccupped, and rushed to the next destination...
