Chapter 279 Abilities and Relationships

"Don't worry about this, I'll contact my friend and ask him to ship the goods.

However, I have to explain in advance that I personally transported this batch of goods back from Southern Province, and I did not carefully calculate the cost of fuel, car rental, tolls, etc.

So if you buy the goods from him, I don’t know whether it will be more expensive or cheaper than the price I give you, I hope you can be mentally prepared.”

Chen Shunwei nodded, "It doesn't matter, the main problem now is that there is a shortage of goods. The dried fruits in the supermarket may not be available even if there is a quota!

I heard that it was because the dried fruit merchants wanted to pay with grain, but the Qinghe Alliance disagreed, so the supply was much less. Once the dried fruits were put on the shelves, they would be sold out immediately. Some of them were even divided among internal staff, and they didn't even have a chance to be put on the shelves.

We are now taking advantage of a loophole to trade in grain, and we don’t know how long we can do this job. No matter what the selling price is, as long as the market supply and demand remain unchanged, we can always sell it by slightly increasing the price.”

Seeing Chen Shunwei so confident, Shen Yanming said no more. After taking out the electronic scale from the car, the two sides checked the quantity and quality of the grain face to face.

There is no problem with the quantity, and as for the quality, it is also quite good.

In fact, it is understandable. Qinghua Country has solved the problem of food and clothing for two or three hundred years, and everyone has long been accustomed to eating and drinking well. Therefore, even coarse grains have been refined and the taste has been greatly improved.

After verifying that everything was correct, Shen Yanming asked Chen Shunwei to help seal the grains and move them to the car, and he would transport them back home first.

Although putting it in the security room is the most time-saving and labor-saving way, they can wait until the food is collected and then directly give it to Zeng Yiming, but there are people coming and going here, so it is not very safe.

Putting so much food together would be too eye-catching.

Therefore, it is better to transport the food back home. Although it is a bit troublesome, it can at least ensure their safety. When the investment is recovered and a truck is rented to transport the food away, Shen Yanming will feel at ease.

After returning home, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan discussed it and decided to divide the dried fruits into three portions, one of which they would store in the space for the two of them to eat slowly.

The remaining two were given one to Chen Shunwei and one to Ke Wenpei.

Then he called Ji Kangyong. After hearing him say that their unit needed about 50 to 60 kilograms of dried fruits, Shen Yanming poured out 65 kilograms of dried fruits from his own share, put them in a storage box, and sent them to Ji Kangyong together with the electronic scale after he received a call.

"Huh, no bags?" Ji Kangyong was a little confused when he saw the bulk dried fruits.

Chen Yan understood him at a glance and said, "Where can we buy bags? Do you think there is no limit on bags? Doesn't your company have old newspapers? Just use that bag, or let them bring their own bags."

Ji Kangyong was a little speechless. "Then I'll send them a message and ask them to bring their own bags, but what about the food they collect?"

"Look, here are two big bags prepared for you, just put your things in them." Shen Yanming opened the storage box, which contained two stacked white cloth bags. They looked clean and new.

"Is this something you just bought?"

"No, I collected the bags that were used to hold flour and cleaned them. I'll use them this time. I'll give you 65 kilograms of dried fruits. You can be a little more generous when you share them among your colleagues."

"Okay, thank you for your generosity." Ji Kangyong said with a smile.

Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong chatted for a while and then went home. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Bi Qiaoan say, "Hubby, Qin Yiren wants to buy ten kilograms of dried fruits from us."

Shen Yanming was a little surprised, "Didn't she just buy a pound this morning?"

"She said she didn't want to reveal that she had food at home, so she only bought one kilogram. She and her family were very greedy, so they finished it within ten minutes of getting it home. Then they discussed and decided to buy more.

I have already told her the importance of food, but Qin Yiren said that there is enough food at home, and it is not a big deal to exchange for ten or eight kilograms of food. She asked us to wait for her at the intersection of Garden Street at 9:40 tomorrow morning.

"You've explained it in such detail. It seems like you've agreed to her."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Well, since we've reminded them, they have the ability to do so, so there's no need for us to stop them from buying.

Besides, what kind of life did Qin Yiren live in the past? Even if the world has changed, is there really nothing her family can do?"

Shen Yanming chuckled, "Well, my wife's vision of people is getting better and better. In the past two years, although everyone looks the same, it is not difficult for people with connections to get some good things."

"Yes, yes. I've known her for such a long time, and I've never seen her lack anything. I guess she has some skills."

"Of course. No matter when, if you want to live a good life, you either need to be capable or have connections. Her family was able to do such a big business before, and both of these were indispensable.

Even though the family no longer runs a business, the connections and resources are still there.”

"Yeah, yeah, let's not talk about this anymore. Hubby, go and study those pastries. I'll go weigh the dried fruits for Qin Yiren!" After listening to Shen Yanming's argument, Bi Qiaoan pushed him into the kitchen.

She was still thinking about the pastries from yesterday, but her husband wouldn't let her eat them, saying that she hadn't had dinner yet and she couldn't fill her stomach.

Bi Qiaoan was afraid that after dinner, her husband would say something like it was too late to digest, so she pushed him into the kitchen and asked him to make two cakes while it was still early so that she could satisfy her craving.

Shen Yanming naturally knew what Bi Qiaoan was thinking, and followed her strength into the kitchen.

Then he took out the flour, beans, red dates, glutinous rice and other things that he and his wife had collected abroad before the end of the world, and started a new round of attempts.

Not long after, Bi Qiaoan heard the sound of frying oil. She was a little curious, but when she thought of how she was turned away before, she suppressed her curiosity and played with her mobile phone.

Only when he heard the sound of the fire being turned off did Bi Qiaoan get up and go into the kitchen.

As soon as she entered, she was completely attracted by the glutinous rice balls and spring rolls.

Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but stretched out his hand, but before he touched the snacks that looked delicious, the plate in front of him disappeared.

"You, you not only bullied me, but you also mistreat your son and daughter!" Bi Qiaoan was really wronged this time and wanted to cry. What should she do?

"Be good, be good. I'll give it to you after dinner, okay? Today's ingredients are made with ordinary ingredients, so they don't taste that good. Let's eat yesterday's freshly-cooked ones, hot, crispy, okay?"

Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan in his arms and comforted her softly, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

Bi Qiaoan asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
