Seeing this, Shen Yanming did not try to stop him.

He got up and went into the storage room, taking out the gift he had prepared for Zeng Yiming.

Zeng Yiming's eyes lit up when he saw them. He picked up each bottle and examined them closely. "Old Shen, I didn't know you had such good stuff!"

Shen Yanming shook his head helplessly, "These are all things that won't fill you up. Take them back and use them as a sweet treat."

Zeng Yiming chuckled and said, "Just by hearing that, I can tell you have no idea how difficult these things are to deal with these days!"

Let me tell you, because there are no restrictions on the amount of coffee and tea that can be purchased outside now, even if the quality on the market is just average, they will still be sold out very quickly once they are put on the shelves. Sales are much more booming than before.

As for why, it's because people have money in their hands, but they can't buy anything good.

Since that's the case, why not buy some coffee and tea that aren't subject to purchase limits? At least we can have some to drink, and consider it an improvement to our quality of life.

Therefore, even ordinary ones are hard to buy now, let alone these high-quality ones.

Hehe, I can tell you've given me only good stuff.

Shen Yanming nodded, "It is indeed a good product, but I don't know if the taste will deteriorate if it is stored for a long time."

"Huh?" Zeng Yiming asked, puzzled.

"Besides rose jam and honey, everything else inside was bought before the apocalypse. Some were brought back from abroad, and some were purchased from their place of origin in China."

"In short, it's been stored for a while, so the quality might not be as good as I expected!" Shen Yanming explained.

“That’s alright. These things are meant to be stored for a long time. Even if the taste is a little off, it won’t be that bad. Yanming, I really like this gift,” Zeng Yiming said with a smile.

Then she looked at Bi Qiaoan and said, "Sister-in-law, could you make me a cup of coffee? I need to perk myself up before heading home!"

Bi Qiaoan nodded. "No problem, plenty of coffee! But, are you really not going to stay a little longer at home? You've come all this way, who knows when you'll be back!"

Zeng Yiming didn't take it to heart and laughed, "Nanshi is only a few hours' drive from Haishi. I can come anytime I want in the future."

"Okay, come over to my house whenever you have time. Yanming and I will cook for you."

After finishing her sentence, Bi Qiaoan went into the kitchen, took out a bottle of coffee beans from the cupboard, and put some into the grinder...

A dozen minutes later, Bi Qiaoan came out of the kitchen with a tray carrying three cups of coffee. She placed one cup in front of each person and said, "Do you need milk and sugar?"

"No need, how about trying the original flavor?" Zeng Yiming picked up a glass, sniffed it lightly, and said, "It smells wonderful!"

After the temperature cooled down a bit, he took a small sip and nodded. "The quality is indeed good, fragrant and smooth enough. But I'll probably add some ingredients next time I drink it, because it's too pure and I find it a bit bitter."

Bi Qiaoan awkwardly stuck out her tongue, ran into the kitchen, took out the sugar jar and milk, and placed them in front of Zeng Yiming, "It's not too late to add sugar now."

Zeng Yiming did not refuse. He scooped some sugar into his coffee and stirred it. After it dissolved completely, he took a sip. "Indeed, I still prefer the sweet taste."

Seeing that Zeng Yiming was drinking happily, Bi Qiaoan also picked up her glass, but before she could bring it to her lips, Shen Yanming snatched it away.

"Pregnant women should avoid drinking coffee!" Shen Yanming said.

Bi Qiaoan puffed out her cheeks unhappily, staring at the coffee cup with tears in her eyes.

She'd been craving coffee for ages, but Shen Yanming wouldn't give her a single sip. She'd thought she could get a sip in front of the guests, but...

Sigh, never mind, I'll just drink milk!

As if venting his anger, he picked up the straw, poked it down, and then gulped it down in no time.

Shen Yanming and Zeng Yiming were amused by Bi Qiaoan's exaggerated and playful appearance, but they restrained themselves and pretended to be chatting and not seeing it.

Time flew by, and it was almost two o'clock in the blink of an eye. Zeng Yiming got up to say goodbye, and Shen Yanming went downstairs to see him off.

The two were sitting in the elevator when they realized they hadn't delivered the goods to Ke Wenpei and the others yet.

After getting off the elevator, Shen Yanming called Ke Wenpei, asked for the address, told Bi Qiaoan, and then took Zeng Yiming to find Ke Wenpei.

Because Zeng Yiming was about to leave after delivering the goods, Shen Yanming led the way in his own car.

The two drove to the entrance of the residential area, where Zeng Yiming got out of the car to register.

Chen Shunwei came out of the security room carrying grain and said, "Boss Zeng, this is the payment for those two bags of dried fruit. This morning, because I didn't want my family to worry, I..."

So he didn't mention it. When he went home for lunch, he and his wife secretly moved out while his parents were sleeping.

Zeng Yiming nodded, not paying any attention, and opened the carriage door to let him in.

Chen Shunwei couldn't tell if the other party was angry or not until he heard the words "Contact me if you need anything!", he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He waved and watched the truck drive away before returning to the security room. Thinking of the goods at home, he felt confident about the future.

Shen Yanming smiled with satisfaction at the sight. He had noticed that Chen Shunwei hadn't mentioned payment when he took the goods that morning. He just hadn't said anything, wanting to see what the other party would do.

Hmm, not bad, you didn't disappoint him!

Thinking of Ke Wenpei and the others, Shen Yanming couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He really didn't want to have much contact with the other party, but he couldn't go back on his word after he had already made the promise.

So, after driving for about forty minutes, the two arrived at an old residential area.

This is the neighborhood where Ke Wenpei lives. He used to sell dried fruit nearby, but as soon as he received Shen Yanming's call, he rushed back.

I'm waiting downstairs right now.

Of course, there were also his henchmen.

After Zeng Yiming got out of the car, Shen Yanming introduced them to each other.

Without much talk, the two sides weighed and exchanged the dried fruit and grain, and that was it.

Seeing that the transaction was completed, Shen Yanming bid farewell to Ke Wenpei.

Ke Wenpei nodded and continued to lead his underlings to find clients.

When they were almost at the intersection leading to the highway, Zeng Yiming pulled over, and Shen Yanming quickly stopped as well.

"I'll stop here for now. I'll come visit you again when I have time!" Zeng Yiming said, giving Shen Yanming a hug.

Shen Yanming nodded. "Take care on the road!"

"Yes, I will. I'll call you when I get there."

Shen Yanming nodded, watching the small truck drive further and further away, hoping in his heart that they would both be well when they met again.

Once the car was out of sight, Shen Yanming turned around and drove towards Haishi Hospital.

He had to go buy some medicinal herbs to cover up the frostbite ointment.

Shen Yanming drove leisurely all the way to Haishi Hospital, unaware that after he left, Ke Wenpei and the other three had a heated discussion about him.
