Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Chapter 323: It's time to coax

This group of people were used to harvesting, and they also had their own set of procedures. Yu Jiang had no intention of interfering, so he sat back in the recliner and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

There were more than 20 people working in the cave, some were responsible for carrying, some were responsible for weighing, and two were responsible for keeping accounts.

Even Zhu San, who had always been a hands-off boss, had to personally help count such a large batch of goods in a short period of time.

For a moment, Yu Jiang was the only idle person left on the field.

However, Yu Xianren was very conscious of being an idler and an outsider, so he just dozed off on the recliner and absolutely did not participate in the acceptance inspection by Zhu San and the others.

Finally, after more than an hour, the brothers brought by Zhu San came to count the goods, and the final bill was handed to Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang took a quick look and knew that Zhu San had not cheated, and the price was the same as what they had agreed on before.

So the two parties exchanged money and goods in a friendly manner.

After receiving the money, Yu Jiang didn't care whether Zhu San wanted to temporarily put the things in the cave or move them to their base. He just whispered in Zhu San's ear: "Don't put all the things out at once."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Looking at Yu Jiang who left after speaking, Zhu San shook his head and smiled: He is also a very insightful person, and his actions today were full of sense of propriety.

However, even before leaving, he still reminded him not to ship too much at once to avoid attracting attention.

How worried they are about him!

I have to say that this person is a really good partner. He is not too nosy as the supply is guaranteed. Unfortunately, this is the last deal. After this batch of goods is sold out, I will have to worry about the supply again...

After completing the transaction, Yu Jiang had no idea what Zhu San was thinking, but to be on the safe side, she sneaked back to the vicinity of the cave again and wiped out all traces of her presence.

After returning home, Yu Jiang hesitated for a long time but finally sent a video call to Lu Beiyuan.

Sure enough, it was as if the person on the other end had been waiting for her call. The next second after the video call was made, Lu Beiyuan’s face, which was so dark that ink could drip out of it, appeared in front of Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang thought something was wrong and quickly turned the camera to divert Lu Beiyuan's attention: "Look, I made a big profit today! I made a total of 70,000 or 80,000!"

However, Lu Beiyuan was not tempted by the money and remained unmoved: "So this is why you didn't contact me for a week?"

Lu Beiyuan was indeed a little angry, but he was not angry at Yu Jiang. He was just feeling aggrieved.

They had clearly agreed that they would contact each other every day, and even if they were too busy to video chat, they would still send a message to inform each other.

Yu Jiang had indeed done a good job before. Even when he was busy with a project in the laboratory, he would send him a message to inform him of the reason.

The result is great this time!

He disappeared for almost a week without even saying hello!

If Lu Beiyuan had not contacted Yu's mother and knew that Yu Jiang was busy studying medicine with Old Bai, Lu Beiyuan would have driven the aircraft back overnight.

Yu Jiang felt a little guilty, but she soon discovered the loophole in Lu Beiyuan's words and became confident again.

"How can there be a week? I just video chatted with you four days ago!

Besides, I didn’t intentionally lose contact. If you were studying under a teacher, I don’t believe that you would have time to think about other things after working hard all day.”

Yu Jiang's words were well-reasoned and even revealed a bit of grievance after being destroyed by knowledge.

Lu Beiyuan's heart softened all of a sudden, and the dissatisfaction he had felt before disappeared completely.

"Okay! It's not impossible for me to forgive you." Lu Beiyuan suppressed his thoughts and began to negotiate with Yu Jiang for benefits. "You have to come a week in advance."

When Yu Jiang heard this, he was stunned at first, wondering why Lu Beiyuan proposed such an irrelevant condition, but the next second Yu Jiang understood Lu Beiyuan's intention.

"A week? Don't even think about it!

I'll come here a week early. I'm afraid your house won't be built yet. Do you plan to let me sleep in the desert or in the sheepfold?"

Lu Beiyuan seemed to have been prepared, and he was waiting for his prey to come in with a confident look on his face: "The family compound of the military region here will be completed in half a month. If you come over in a month and a half, not to mention the house, I can even make your bed at home."

Even though his reason was rejected, Yu Jiang still didn't plan to give up: "I need to go to my brother's place. It will take more than ten days to go back and forth. I also need to visit my nephew. I definitely can't go earlier!"

Well, when it came to the fact that the round trip would take more than ten days, Yu Jiang himself felt guilty.

For others, such a trip would indeed take more than ten days, but for her and Lu Beiyuan who had a flying vehicle, they could arrive in less than an hour.

Lu Beiyuan said nothing, staring at Yu Jiang on the other side of the video, waiting for her to give him a satisfactory answer.

"Okay, okay, can't I come three days early?"

After saying this, Yu Jiang regained his confidence and said, "I already have other plans. I can squeeze out three days to come and see you. Just be content!

If you keep looking like your wife has died, I won't come over!"

Lu Beiyuan knew where Yu Jiang's bottom line was, and he knew when to stop: "Well, I'll do as you said and come here three days in advance."

After the two reached an agreement, the atmosphere returned to normal.

Only then did Lu Beiyuan have time to pay attention to the pile of money next to Yu Jiang.

"Then tell me about what you have gained in the past few days, and what you said about not being able to come and see me earlier because you were busy."

Yu Jiang had no intention of hiding the truth from Lu Beiyuan, so he told her the whole story of the last transaction with Zhu San, and how he had made a profit of nearly 80,000 yuan in just one go.

After saying that, Yu Jiang did not forget to complain that it was not enough that he did not have an online account at the moment. The more important thing was that the face value of the Chinese currency was too small!

This is only 80,000, which is more than 8,000 pieces, filling up Yu Jiang's entire table.

If Yu Jiang didn't have a bracelet with space to help store things, he would have been in an embarrassing situation of having money but nowhere to hide it.

Regarding Yu Jiang's future plans, Lu Beiyuan, who had received orthodox military education since childhood and had been a soldier for two lifetimes, felt that this was not a good idea.

Lu Beiyuan knew in his heart that he and Yu Jiang could not agree on some things.

But if you think about it carefully, although Yu Jiang's plan is a bit unethical and the method is a bit detrimental, it is not wrong in principle.

More importantly, Lu Beiyuan knew clearly that in this kind of matter, as long as Yu Jiang made up her mind, it would be unlikely for him to stop her.

Since we can't stop it, why bother doing useless work and making others hate us!

Lu Beiyuan didn't react, which made Yu Jiang very excited. It seemed that this old-fashioned Lu Beiyuan had changed a lot!

However, I have to go to the northwest in advance, so some of Yu Jiang’s previous plans can only be put on hold temporarily. There are also some links in the middle that need to be improved before the future plan...

In the following days, I ran back and forth between Yujiang Fenghe Village and the county, but actually did not do any real work.

When I was in the village, I would go to He's house to accompany He Zhile, listen to her share the latest gossip in the village, and then take care of her body.

After returning to the county, Yu Jiang changed his clothes and went to the black market in the county several times. He found that only meat, fruits and vegetables were more available in the black market than before.

Although he didn't know to whom Zhu San sold the other goods, Yu Jiang felt relieved as nothing was done here to attract attention.

At other times, Yu Jiang was often grabbed by her mother to prepare things for her brother and sister-in-law, future nephews and nieces, and things for her future trip to the northwest.

Although Yu Jiang wanted to slip away, he was afraid of Yu's mother's power and her responsibility as a driver, so he was unable to escape in the end.

For this purpose, Yu Jiang also teamed up with Yu's father who was in the laboratory, and asked him to conscript himself on the pretext that the laboratory needed help.

That day, Yu Jiang stayed in Yu's father's laboratory very comfortably until seven or eight in the evening, during which time he just helped to give some suggestions.

But the next day, when Yu Jiang and his father were planning to repeat the same trick, they were frightened by a look from Yu's mother and neither of them dared to move. Yu Jiang, who had just been liberated for a day, had no choice but to wait obediently for orders.
