Chapter 422: Entering the Mountain

This night at the meat processing plant can be said to be unforgettable for those who came to steal equipment. Read М

The five brothers were actually from the county above. They lost money and had no choice, so they came up with a crooked idea.

Later, they heard that the meat processing plant had closed down and there was not even a gatekeeper. There were also many mechanical equipment inside, and the price was not low, so they simply wanted to steal the equipment and sell it to make some money.

The price offered by the black market was the price of scrap iron, 100 yuan per unit.

But what these five people didn't know was that they were still cheated.

People could see at a glance that these brothers were all rookies and didn't understand the market at all. They came up and asked if they would accept the equipment. Their nervous look was too conspicuous.

When he heard the price of 100 yuan, the leader's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that the price of this equipment was really not low!

In fact, although these equipment are aging and have not been maintained for a long time, they can still be used after wiping and maintaining them! The market price is about 500 to 800 yuan!

The people who collected the equipment were very polite to the five brothers. They invited them to dinner and took them to the karaoke bar to sing. The purpose was to get them to help and steal all the equipment.

The five brothers had never seen much of the world, so they all thought that the other party regarded them as noble people. After receiving the money, they naturally did their best.

At the beginning, everything went smoothly. Unexpectedly, a group of people suddenly came in the daytime, walked around the meat processing plant for a few times, and then headed towards the family building.

The boss could see at a glance that these people were cleaning up the family building. He guessed that there was not enough time, because it seemed that someone in the meat processing plant would soon notice it, so he hurriedly brought people in the evening, thinking of moving the equipment overnight.

The boss's approach was actually not wrong, but he made a mistake in one thing, that is, Li Yi also left Wei Sanpao and Heizi to watch the gate!

This is why Wei Sanpao pretended to be a ghost and scared away the five brothers.

The five brothers were honest and dutiful later, and never dared to do anything wrong again.

...

The next morning, Li Yi brought people to the meat processing plant again. Yesterday, they spent a whole day cleaning up the entire family building. Today, they had to clean up the factory and move all the equipment out for unified processing. According to the time, the screw extruder will be delivered soon, which will be the matter of tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. They have to make room first.

After briefly talking to Yang Tiezhu about where the old equipment should be placed and where the new equipment should be placed, Li Yi turned around and left the meat processing plant with Wei Sanpao, because they were about to go into the mountains, and they had to prepare things for going into the mountains.

The first thing was a flashlight, followed by raincoats, rain boots and other things, and a rope. When necessary, the rope can save lives. If you get stuck in a mud pit, you can tie the rope to the donkey and pull people out.

The second thing was some engineering shovels and other things. There were not many people going into the mountains, just more than 20 people, plus five donkey carts, pulling five carts of grain seeds and the like. In fact, there was no problem, just a small amount of money.

These twenty-odd people are all young people in the town, including Xiaojiu from the police station, the driver of Chief Zhang.

Xiaojiu is mainly responsible for maintaining order on the scene, and by the way, he will do a simple population census of Tongxiang Village. The entire police station also needs to maintain public order. Xiaojiu is relatively young and has not much to do. He usually drives and patrols, so he was naturally sent out.

The rest of the people are young and strong in their twenties and thirties. They run back and forth between the town and the county all year round, doing business, opening small shops, etc.

After hearing the call of the mayor this time, they immediately signed up enthusiastically. Apart from anything else, there is money to be made this time!

Li Yi certainly won't waste everyone's time in vain. From this point of view, these people should earn between 150 and 200 yuan a month, so Li Yi gave each person a price of 200 yuan, which perfectly interprets what it means to be rich and powerful.

In this way, everyone immediately signed up actively. After all, there is money to be made, so what if it is a little bit harder?

Li Yi can be said to have carefully selected young and strong people who are full of energy and healthy. After selecting people, he immediately distributed equipment and headed towards the mountains.

Chen Ruqing actually didn't need to go. After all, he was almost fifty years old and was still the mayor. There were so many things waiting to be dealt with in the town, but he insisted on going to see how the people in Tongxiang were living now.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Li Yi looked at Chen Ruqing, whose hands and feet were no slower than those of young people, and said with a smile:

"Mayor, you look good. You have exercised a lot, right?"

Chen Ruqing nodded with a smile and said:

"Not only will I come this time, I will come once you come in the future. The most important thing about visiting the thatched cottage three times is sincerity! I have to let the villagers get familiar with me, right?"

Li Yi was immediately impressed by the words. He was indeed one of the most admired mayors. He was indeed conscientious to the extreme!

If all the mayors in Longguo were like this, would there be any need to worry about the development of Longguo?

In any case, Chen Ruqing was recognized by Li Yi sincerely. Li Yi rarely felt this kind of admiration because many people's achievements were far inferior to Li Yi's, but Chen Ruqing was an exception.

Good officials are all parents, and this saying is absolutely true.

Some young people had the experience of going up the mountain to collect herbs before, so they didn't think the mountain road was difficult at all. They chatted while walking forward. They didn't wear raincoats. It hasn't rained yet, and it's really hot to wear raincoats.

The first part of the road was fine, but after the last five kilometers, not many people had the energy to talk.

Li Yi has been running around all the time, and has seen almost all kinds of bad weather, so he is naturally energetic. Wei Sanpao is the same. He used to be the champion of the principal running sports meeting, so he naturally won't be tired.

Chen Ruqing was a little out of breath, after all, he was not as young as he was, but he still insisted on moving forward.

Li Yi saw that everyone was not in good condition, so he looked at the time on his watch. They had been walking for more than an hour, so he said loudly:

"Everyone stop for a while! Let's rest for a while! We will go again later!"

Everyone sat on the ground or sat directly on the donkey cart. Some people led the donkey to eat grass and drink water, while Li Yi organized people to eat. They ate cooked sweet potatoes, corn and other easy-to-carry foods.

After a brief rest, everyone continued to head towards Tongxiang Village.
