"Have you eaten yet? It's almost noon now. I'd like to treat you to a meal and we can chat while we eat."

The man suggested with a smile.

"Okay, don't call me you, just call me Awang."

Chen Wang asked with a smile.

"Okay, then you can call me Lao Qi."

"Can."

"Let's go, I know a good restaurant nearby."

"Walk!"

The two walked out of the street while chatting.

"Brother Qi, is it okay to call me that?"

"certainly."

"Brother, can I ask what you are renting this store for? There is so little traffic in this place."

"It's like this, I'm not renting the storefront to open a store, I want to use it as a warehouse to store goods."

"Warehouse? What business are you in, brother?"

"It's a small business. I buy some parts for home appliances from the south, send them to the north, assemble them, and sell them to make a profit from the difference."

Qi Jianping replied with a smile.

Chen Wang was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"Don't worry, these are not goods shipped from overseas. They are some discarded parts from the south. They are not illegal. Even if something happens, it will not involve you."

Qi Jianping saw what he was thinking and hurriedly explained with a smile.

Chen Wang nodded.

Just now he was really wondering if this was considered smuggling. If it was a complete product, then it would undoubtedly be.

If it is what Qi Jianping said, then there should be no problem, but it is a bit borderline.

"Brother, to be honest, I just bought these storefronts last year. You are the first tenant, so you can't cheat me!"

Chen Wang said with a serious expression.

"I understand, Awang, don't worry. Just because you call me brother, I won't do such a thing. I'm not that kind of person."

Qi Jianping made a solemn promise.

Chen Wang nodded and said nothing more.

Of course, he couldn't believe it so easily, so he just decided to go have a meal and a few drinks first, chat a little more and see what kind of character he was.

If you have to, try to get him more alcohol.

After coming out of that street, I walked a short distance to the door of a restaurant.

Qi Jianping took him into the restaurant, found a table for him to sit down, and shouted loudly inside: "Boss, bring the menu."

"Brother, do you come here often?"

"Well, I live nearby, and I'm too lazy to cook by myself, so I eat here often."

"From your accent, brother? Are you from the north?"

"Yes, I'm from the north. I'm doing business with a few friends. I'm responsible for the transfer here."

Qi Jianping answered as he sat down on the bench next to him.

"How many years have you been doing business, bro?"

"It has only started this year. Who would have dared to do it in previous years? We arrested many people for speculation and profiteering in those years."

At this point, the boss came over with the menu.

The two of them discussed and ordered three dishes and a soup. Qi Jianping also added fried peanuts and a smashed cucumber.

"What would you like to drink? Flat white or beer?"

"Let's have some beer first!"

"Okay, one beer."

Qi Jianping said something to the boss again and handed the menu back to him.

The boss was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He took the menu and went to work.

Chen Wang and the other person continued chatting.

"What do you do, bro?"

"Me? I'm just a farmer from the mountains."

“Stop it!”

Qi Jianping burst out laughing.

"Really? I came from the village this morning."

Chen Wang said seriously.

Qi Jianping was stunned for a while, and asked in surprise: "Is farming so profitable now? Can it allow you to buy several storefronts in the city?"

"In addition to farming, I occasionally go hunting in the mountains. Fortunately, I have good luck and have caught some good things and sold them for some money."

Chen Wang smiled and said.

"I thought so! It turns out you are a professional hunter, awesome!"

Qi Jianping gave him a thumbs up.

"No, no, no, no, what's so great about this? There should be more people hunting in the north!"

"You're talking about the northeast. There aren't many mountains where we are. I've only heard of people talking about hunting, but I've never been into a mountain before!"

"Then come to my place when you have time. I'll take you to the mountains for some exercise."

"really?"

Qi Jianping's eyes suddenly lit up.

"What's there to fool you about?"

"That's a good idea. I'm really interested."

"No problem, you're welcome anytime."

"Great, I must have a good drink with you today, Boss, where's the wine? Hurry up."

Qi Jianping urged loudly.

"Here I come."

The boss responded and quickly brought a bottle of beer and placed it on the ground next to Qi Jianping.

"I'll go get you some cold dishes. You can drink first."

"Okay, hurry up."

After a while, the boss brought the smashed cucumbers and peanuts.

"Come on, brother, don't use any cups."

Qi Jianping picked up a bottle of beer, helped hold it down on the edge of the table, opened the bottle cap and handed it to him.

"Thank you!"

Chen Wang agreed readily.

"What are you thanking me for? Come on, have a drink!"

“Done!”

The two men clinked their beer bottles, then looked up and started showing off.

After finishing half the bottle in one breath, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Brother, do you want to rent that storefront?"

Chen Wang put a peanut into his mouth and asked casually.

"If the price is right, I would like to rent them all."
