After dinner, Li Weidong and Ji Dahai went to the restaurant's warehouse.

Ji Dahai is a Maotai distributor in the county, and all his liquor is stored here.

However, there weren't many items; the total value was only 80,000 yuan.

After all, it's only June now, and the peak sales seasons like Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival are still far away. There's no need for him to stock up on so much in advance, as it would tie up too much cash flow.

Li Weidong wanted all the goods, but because he didn't have enough money, he only paid a deposit of 30,000 yuan.

Ji Dahai readily agreed and promised to help Li Weidong procure an extra batch of goods.

Because Li Weidong wanted a large quantity, Ji Dahai offered a significant discount, selling the Five-Star Iron Cap Moutai, which had a market price of 128, for 120.

Each bottle was given a discount of 8 yuan.

Li Weidong was quite satisfied with the price and signed a contract with Ji Dahai on the spot.

After signing the contract, Li Weidong drove away in his tricycle.

No sooner had he left than Ji Dahai's female secretary approached him and said, "Boss, your young man bought so much wine in one go. Is there any possibility that the news is true? Should we order more wine too?"

"Buy in? Buy in my ass! All the money in the shop has been used to buy meat, where would we get the money to buy more goods? Besides, I know better than anyone how stable the price of Moutai is."

I'm a professional in the liquor business, how come I'm not as well-informed as him?

Just wait, this kid will definitely regret it!

"Um... okay then."

Since the boss had already said that, Xiao Mi didn't try to persuade him any further.

But her woman's intuition told her that this matter was probably not so simple.

...

After leaving the Wenhe Hotel, Li Weidong drove his farm tricycle, chugging along, towards Yinan County.

These days, highways in China are only just beginning to be built.

If you want to travel far, you can only take the bumpy country roads.

The bumpy ride was so bad that Li Weidong felt like his bones were about to fall apart.

In addition, the tricycles have no canopy and are exposed to the wind all the way.

My face is so chapped and uncomfortable!

Li Weidong secretly vowed that once he made money selling wine this time, he would treat himself better.

At least... buy him a 125.

Why isn't this more comfortable than this farm tricycle?

When Li Weidong arrived in Yinan, it was already past four in the afternoon.

After receiving the money, he exchanged a few words with Zhang Bin and then rushed back home.

Despite rushing, it was already dark when they returned to Mengbei County.

Hungry Li Weidong stopped his car when he saw a restaurant called "Xiaoyan Restaurant" by the roadside, intending to fill his stomach first.

The location of this store is quite good.

Along the road, there is a cotton mill across the street, and the old No. 1 Middle School is right next to it.

It can be said that its location is exceptionally advantageous.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was packed with people. Even outside, there were seven or eight tables occupied, leaving only one empty table.

The guests sat on small stools, shirtless, eating kebabs and drinking beer.

When Li Weidong saw the barbecue, his eyes lit up.

Since his rebirth, he hadn't eaten this stuff in a long time and missed it terribly.

He immediately sat down in the empty seat next to him and waved to the proprietress: "Proprietress, let's order."

"I'll be right there, just wait a moment."

A few minutes later, the proprietress came over, panting.

In his hand, he held a plastic soft-cover notebook for ordering food: "What would you like to eat?"

Li Weidong looked up at the proprietress.

Before I could even utter a word, I was already stunned by her beauty.

A thick, black braid draped over her shoulder.

She wore a white T-shirt on top and blue skinny jeans on the bottom.

With a constant smile on her face, plus lipstick and earrings, she gave off a very capable vibe.

This outfit is considered very fashionable in this small county town in the Yimeng Mountains.

Seeing Li Weidong lost in thought, the proprietress, unfazed, smiled and said, "We have stir-fries and barbecues here, what would you like to eat?"

Only after being reminded again did Li Weidong come to his senses.

"I'm alone, just give me the quickest stuff, I'm starving, and four bottles of Silver Wheat beer too."

"Okay, just a moment, it'll be up soon."

After taking notes, the proprietress swayed her hips and entered the restaurant.

Not long after, the proprietress brought over four bottles of beer and also gave us two extra packets of snow lotus.

These days, beer doesn't have refrigeration cabinets. When drinking it, people usually put in a bag of locally grown snow lotus or an ice pop.

It's icy cold and quite delicious.

After gulping down two glasses of beer, Li Weidong immediately felt refreshed, and all the fatigue of the day was washed away.

Not long after, the proprietress brought out another plate of grilled skewers.

Li Weidong had a beer and a kebab.

They ate with great relish.

Barbecue in the 1990s was still a rarity and had not yet become widespread.

In contrast, grilled skewers are also delicious. After all, there's no added technology or harsh claims. What you taste is just the original aroma of the food, apart from the flavors of cumin and chili powder.

I must say, this proprietress is quite shrewd; she's only 1992 and already knows how to open a barbecue stall.

No wonder business is so good!

But why does her face look so familiar?

Li Weidong ate while thinking.

After thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on me who she was...

Wasn't she the legendary richest woman in Mengbei County in her previous life?

At his peak, his net worth was seven or eight hundred million.

I've seen her in countless reports on TV and in newspapers, so it's no wonder she looked familiar.
