Chapter 511 The Door God Who Abandoned His Post
Upon hearing the conditions offered by the two men before him, Li Qin smiled and nodded.
"If you can deliver it to me on time, it's only fair that I pay a little more."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a look of joy flashed in the eyes of the two men in front of them.
For Li Qin, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. Just look at how much money he has spent in Hong Kong recently.
The total amount adds up to over a million, and Li Qin doesn't even blink an eye.
Upon receiving Li Qin's promise, the two people in front of them immediately showed joy.
There's a reason why they dared to take on jobs that others wouldn't.
Their greatest source of confidence is that there are two of them.
It would be very hard for one person to pull a cart full of coal briquettes, and it would be unrealistic to deliver them to Nanluoguxiang in 45 minutes, but it is quite possible for two people to do it together.
Li Qin then led the two into the coal yard.
At this time, selling coal wasn't as simple as having money and being able to buy as much as you wanted.
Instead, each person receives a fixed amount each month.
You can only buy within a certain quantity.
Since settling in Beijing, Li Qin has only bought coal once, and only a small amount at that, so he has accumulated quite a bit.
In addition, Li Qin also traded some "coal coupons" on the black market.
Li Qin could then claim he was buying the coal on behalf of his neighbor, thus enabling him to purchase more coal briquettes.
Of course, the people at the coal yard also knew what was actually going on.
However, the people at the coal yard wouldn't expose it or investigate further.
In any case, the certificate is genuine, and Li Qin has also produced real money.
After paying the money, Li Qin and two young men behind him arrived at a large pile of coal briquettes, led by the coal yard workers.
The rest is up to Li Qin himself.
The coal yard staff may not provide loading and unloading services for coal briquettes.
However, Li Qin doesn't need to do this either.
The two young men behind me will be in charge of these things.
Their job was to load and unload coal briquettes, transport them, and then deliver them to Li Qin's home once they arrived at their destination.
Only after all of this is done can the job be considered finished.
Li Qin did not help the two young men while they were working.
It wasn't that Li Qin disliked the dirt, but since he had already paid, and even offered more than the normal market price, why would he still offer to help?
Those two people should be worried.
They would only assume that Li Qin was trying to lower the price.
Therefore, Li Qin simply watched from the sidelines.
Although Li Qin bought a lot of coal briquettes, it was all loaded in no time because there were two people loading them onto the truck.
"Come on, have a smoke and take a break, then we'll get going."
Li Qin didn't help earlier, so now that it's all done, he naturally has to show his appreciation.
Of course, Li Qin wouldn't offer the two of them Hua Zi cigarettes; instead, he would offer them Daqianmen cigarettes, which he doesn't usually smoke.
Although he looked down on this Daqianmen cigarette, it was already an excellent cigarette for the two young men.
They didn't light it directly, but carefully put it away;
"Comrade, let's deliver the coal briquettes to your home first before we start smoking them."
The two young people were quite conscientious about their contract, though they might also have been afraid that smoking would delay them and prevent them from delivering the cigarettes to Li Qin within the agreed time.
This will affect income.
Li Qin didn't insist. Since the other party had said so, Li Qin naturally nodded in agreement.
"Then you should deliver the coal briquettes to the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. My surname is Li, and I live in the backyard."
The two young men immediately and carefully wrote down Li Qin's address.
Li Qin no longer needed to stay with the two of them; he could ride his bicycle back to the courtyard house and wait.
As for whether the two young men would swallow the coal briquettes, Li Qin wasn't worried about that at all.
Not only because there are countless ways to find these two people, but also because he knows that those waiting for work at the coal yard value integrity the most.
If the two fail to deliver the coal briquettes, their reputation will be ruined, and they won't be able to get any more jobs.
Moreover, Li Qin had already met the two men, so if they failed to deliver the coal briquettes, Li Qin could report them to the police station at any time.
At that point, it won't be a simple matter of integrity anymore.
"Take your time, I'll go back and pack up first."
Li Qin checked the time and found it was already four o'clock. He then said to the two of them.
The two young men didn't speak, they just nodded.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin got on his bicycle and headed towards the courtyard house.
As for the two young men, one was pulling from the front and the other was pushing from behind.
Together, the two pushed the cartload of coal briquettes forward.
After riding a distance and confirming that no one was around, Li Qin used the spell again.
"Apparition!"
With a crackling sound, Li Qin appeared in a rarely visited alleyway near the courtyard house.
After confirming that no one had seen him teleport there, Li Qin rode his bicycle towards the courtyard house.
When Li Qin passed by the front yard this time, he was surprised not to encounter Yan Bugui, the gatekeeper. A look of surprise flashed across his face.
He thought Yan Bugui was staying home because the temperature outside was too low.
However, when Li Qin glanced in the direction of the Yan family, he discovered that Yan Bugui was not there.
Li Qin was even more surprised.
Li Qin couldn't help but feel a little curious when he didn't see Yan Bugui this time.
"Could it be that something happened to Yan Bugui?"
It wasn't that Li Qin was cursing Yan Bugui, but rather that Li Qin couldn't help but think that way.
Because in the past, he would almost always run into Yan Bugui whenever he returned from the steel rolling mill early.
It could even be said that they went regardless of the weather.
However, whether Yan Bugui was there or not was just a minor incident for Li Qin, and not a very important matter. He shook his head and continued walking into the courtyard.
The main reason why Li Qin did not meet Yan Bugui was that Li Qin forgot a very important factor;
That is time.
Although Li Qin usually comes home early from his job at the steel rolling mill, it's always around 5 p.m.
It's only around four o'clock now.
When Yan Bugui left early, he didn't dare to go too far. He usually stayed at school until after 4:30 after class before leaving.
That's why Li Qin used to frequently encounter Yan Bugui, but not today.
As for Yan Bugui leaving early, the school leaders were actually aware of it.
However, Yan Bugui always finished his lessons without delaying his teaching duties or making any mistakes.
Therefore, the school leaders turned a blind eye.
When Li Qin got home, thinking about the coal briquettes that would be delivered soon, he put his bicycle away and immediately cleared a space under the eaves of his house.
This place is located between the kitchen and the main room.
When the coal briquettes are placed here, it will be much more convenient whether they are used in the kitchen or by the fireplace.
Li Qin even planned to place some of the coal briquettes directly next to the fireplace.
Anyway, when the fireplace was designed and installed, Li Qin deliberately left a small space next to it, specifically for storing coal briquettes or firewood.
Now it's come in handy.
After tidying up all these places, Li Qin poured himself a cup of tea.
Next, all he had to do was wait for the two young men to deliver the coal briquettes they had just bought.
