Although Jiu Qingning didn't show it on her face, I could tell that she was in a hurry. She desperately wanted to cash in this batch of goods. After all, she could make tens of millions this time! Only by holding it in your hand can you sleep soundly.
Another point is that so many people were burned to death in the hotel this time, and she needed a lot of money to deal with the follow-up, so in order to hurry up, our group set out at nine o'clock the next night.
There was a closed cargo truck containing ten tons of flour. The people escorting the truck were me, a middle-aged man named Wen Zhouhua, and a young man named Xiaoban.
Wrap the goods in waterproof plastic bags and hide them in flour bags respectively. After the flour bags are restored to the sealed state, if they are not opened, nothing can be seen from the outside. It is just an ordinary bag of high-gluten flour.
Jiu Qingning will also go this time, but we don’t know her specific itinerary. In other words, if something happens to us during the trip, she will definitely not show up.
Wenzhouhua is in his fifties, a man of few words and a calm personality. Xiaoban has a straightforward temper. He wore short-sleeved shirts in this weather, revealing the large green dragon tattoo on his arm. He also wore a gold Rolex watch.
After I got in the car, I said directly: "It's a long road. The three of us take turns to drive. Don't panic if you encounter an inspection after passing the toll station. Everything depends on my eyes. Xiaoban, you have to wear a coat to cover your tattoo, and you have to take off this big gold watch." Come on, don’t forget, we are now flour delivery workers.”
"Ok! Just listen to Brother Feng!"
Xiaoban smiled and said: "I have lived for more than twenty years and have never been to the south. I heard that the girls in Hangzhou are very gentle and beautiful! This time when I go there, I will find two young ladies to enjoy everything!"
Wen Zhouhua frowned and scolded him: "Damn, we are here to deliver goods, not for your kid to go whoring! Be honest! Don't cause trouble!"
"Damn, I was just kidding! Brother Wen, don't get excited!"
Two and a half hours later, we were stopped by staff at a toll booth at a highway intersection.
I calmly got out of the car and opened the trunk to cooperate with the inspection.
"It's all flour? Where to send it?"
"Yes, they are all noodles! Delivered to a warehouse in Hangzhou!" I introduced loudly with a smile.
When the staff got into the carriage, he pressed a few bags of flour at random, looked around with his flashlight, frowned and said, "Open two bags at random and let me take a look."
I immediately said with a grimace: "Brother, this is high-gluten flour. If you open it, how can we sell it when we get there! If the customer over there doesn't accept the goods, then I won't be able to earn the freight for this trip. We It’s not easy, brother, please be accommodating!”
"Don't say these are useless! I'm not embarrassing you! This is a routine inspection, just this bag! Open it and let me take a look!" He pointed to a bag at random.
I pretended to be embarrassed and opened the bag with scissors. The other person reached in, grabbed a handful, took it out, smelled it, and threw it back after confirming that it was ordinary flour.
The inspector clapped his hands and let us go.
I sneered and thought to myself: "The goods are hidden at the bottom. Unless you remove the ten tons of flour pressed down, it's strange that you can find it."
Along the way we passed toll stations and encountered several spot checks, but I used the same tricks and excuses to get past them. The three of us took turns driving without wasting any time, and we arrived at our destination four days later.
When I arrived in Hangzhou, I called the contact person as soon as possible that morning. As a result, the contact person asked us to wait in the parking lot and he would send someone to look at the goods.
I waited and waited until after one o'clock at noon. I didn't even see the person looking at the goods. I called and was able to get through, but no one answered.
Xiao Ben was very dissatisfied with the other party's attitude and scolded him in the car: "Damn it, we traveled thousands of miles to deliver the goods here, and it's been so long and we still haven't shown up! Isn't the other party just playing tricks on us?"
I lit a cigarette, looked at the reflector, and said calmly: "Don't worry, keep calm, the other party is afraid that we are following behind, and the buyer may have already been in the parking lot, maybe... Now he is in a car watching our every move."
"Really?"
Xiao Ben also glanced at the rearview mirror. There were cars all around him, and he couldn't tell which car was suspicious.
"This buyer is too timid. Do you want instant noodles?" Xiaoban said.
Wenzhou Hua and I both said we didn't want to eat, so Xiaoban made instant noodles alone. When he was done, he rolled down the window and threw the bag of instant noodles out.
Xiao Ben had just picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks and had not eaten yet. At this moment, an old man wearing cleaning uniforms came over and knocked on the car door.
"What's wrong?" I asked the other party cautiously.
"Young man, I just finished cleaning. You must pay attention to your quality and don't litter!" The old man angrily threw the instant noodle bag to us, and then he took the broom and left.
I immediately discovered that there was a small note in the instant noodle bag.
There was only one line of small words written on the note.
"Go to Zhuji Zhugong Lake Farmers Market to find Lao Jia,"
When Wen Zhouhua saw this, he frowned and said, "Didn't you say that we will pay in one hand and deliver the goods in one hand in Hangzhou? Why did it change to Zhuji?"
"I don't know, it seems...this buyer is very careful," I said with a frown.
Zhuji is only more than an hour's drive from Hangzhou. There was a small class driving on the road. I sat in the passenger seat and kept thinking about what to do next.
Jiu Qingning only asked me to come to Hangzhou and find a man named Nie. There is a nickname in this industry called "Anxiang Shuying." As for why the nickname is this? To be honest, I didn’t know. At that time, I only knew that this southerner had a huge business. It was said that he had private cooperation with dozens of foreign museums. Only such a big buyer could spend tens of millions at a time. Buy goods.
I arrived in Zhuji at around three o'clock in the afternoon. I was completely unfamiliar with this city, and I didn't know where the Zhugong Lake Farmers Market was. I couldn't understand a word of the dialect spoken by the locals. Finally, I found this farmer's market after asking around.
There were a lot of people in the market in the afternoon, so Xiaoban stayed behind to watch the cars. Wenzhouhua and I went in to look for people, and finally found a fish seller. The boss was named Jia. He was in his forties, with a big beer belly and a leather apron. He had a bald head and a fish in his mouth. When you smoke, you kill the fish with your hand and the knife.
I was not sure if the big buyer "Anxiang Shuying" was this person, so I went up to talk to him.
"Hello boss, bring me a fish."
With a cigarette in his mouth, he looked at me and said loudly: "What a small mistake! Oh, stuffed gourd fish into it?"
"What's the matter?"
I said I don’t call it a small mistake, and I don’t buy gourd carp, I buy grass carp.
Only later did I realize that the local accents in Zhuji are special and different, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to understand them. The fish seller like this one has the accent from Anhua Town. They usually don't say "hello" when greeting you, but all say "hello". "Small mistakes are good, old mistakes are good," is the meaning of "little master" and "old master".
What he said, "Longbaimaazi'en?" probably meant what kind of fish you bought. Anyway, it's pretty much the same. Don't laugh at me, local friends.
My impression when I went there was that Zhuji people were arrogant, and young men liked to show off. Even if they only had five dollars in their pockets, they would still find ways to smoke ten-dollar cigarettes. Moreover, Zhuji people looked down on Jinhua people, Xiaoshan people, and Yiwu people. people.
Zhuji had several major industries that were relatively developed at that time. One was the sock industry, and the other was the gambling and sex industries. Don’t underestimate this small place. The big bosses in Wenzhou would come here to gamble when they were free. This kind of industry was hidden among the people. The casino is a mixed bag, with countless masters. The mysterious buyer "Anxiang Shuying" who has not yet appeared is said to control part of the local casino business.
Seeing that I couldn't understand the local dialect, the fish seller slapped the fish-killing knife on the chopping board and said loudly in Mandarin: "Why are you talking to me if you don't want to buy fish?"
I walked over and whispered: "I don't buy fish, I fucking sell fish."
"Oh? You're selling fish, what kind of fish are you selling?"
"Goldfish, I sell goldfish, a specialty of the north." I said.
His expression changed and he immediately asked me to come into the room for a secret chat.
After entering the house, he took off his leather apron and asked directly: "Where is the goods?"
"It's in our hands, you want to see it now?"
He squinted and said look now.
"Are you Anxiang Shuying?" I asked.
He smiled, shook his head and said, "I'm not! That's the big boss. It's not easy for you to meet him."
I definitely don't agree with this. It's against the rules. I'm dealing with the big boss "Anxiang Shuying". If I can't see the buyer in person, I definitely won't show the goods to anyone.
After a dispute, I repeatedly stated my position: "That's it! My goods won't show up until people see them!"
"Fuck, wait! I'll call and ask for instructions!"
After a few minutes, the fish seller came back and said, "Let's go! The boss said he can see you! I'll take you there!"
"Where to go?" I asked.
He blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "Zhejiang Socks Industry."
