Sure enough, after walking a few steps, they saw the teahouse. There were a lot of people there, and they waited in line for a long time before it was their turn.

After yesterday's experience, the two of them never dared to order the meatballs again.

I ordered the delicious food I tried yesterday and added some breakfast items that looked very delicious.

Time passed quickly as we ate, drank and had fun. On the afternoon of the 5th, we contacted a Dongfeng taxi.

On the morning of the 6th, we took a Dadongfeng bus and arrived at the door of Liang Zhihong's warehouse.

Liang Zhihong had been waiting there for a long time. Zhou Xiang and the other man jumped out of the car and randomly checked dozens of boxes of tiles.

The floor tiles are indeed solid in color, with random patterns on a white background, which is very simple.

The two types of bricks in the bathroom and the stove tiles are also very plain, but the stairs tiles are a bit ugly, light yellow. Fortunately, the waveguide lines on both sides are black, otherwise it would be even uglier if they were any other color.

After she finished counting, Liang Zhihong pointed to the dozens of boxes nearby and said, "These are the overstocked interior wall tiles given away by the manufacturer. Because the dark color is hard to sell, I asked for 2,000 pieces for you. Go back and cut them up and use them as skirting boards!"

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Zhou Xiang was sincerely grateful to him. She had forgotten to install the baseboards, but this future master still thought about it for her. She was really grateful to him.

Liang Zhihong called three workers to load the truck for them, and Ling Ran looked at the workers.

Zhou Xiang paid the bill with his backpack on his back, handed him the agreed ten thousand yuan, and then gave him the money for the cutting machine. The two cutting machines and the cutting discs cost more than two hundred yuan, which was a fair price.

Zhou Xiang took out a pen and paper and wrote down his home address. "This is my home address, which is also the address of the new building. If you pass by in the future, you must come and visit us. Our northern cuisine is also very unique. If you come, I will treat you!"

Liang Zhihong took it, looked at it, folded it and put it in his shirt pocket, "Okay, if I pass by, I will definitely go."

It took more than two hours to load the truck. The tiles are heavy and need to be handled with care.

After loading most of the height of the carriage flatly, Zhou thought for a moment and decided to take the pipes back with him so that he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of pouring the sewer.

"Boss Liang, do you know anyone who sells pipes? I'll buy some more. I already have a whole truckload of them."

Liang Zhihong nodded, "Yes, I know you. I'll take you there."

After settling the porter's wages, Ling Ran threw the goods he had purchased a few days ago into the carriage. Liang Zhihong locked the door and they squeezed into the cab together.

Fortunately, there is a long seat behind the driver's seat, so four people can squeeze into the passenger seat.

The driver, Master Chen, was also accompanied by a young driver, whom he introduced as his nephew from the same village.

The driver followed Liang Zhihong's instructions and turned several times before arriving at the door of a relatively spacious warehouse.

Liang Zhihong walked into the open warehouse door, muttered for a while, came out and asked Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran to get out of the car.

After introducing both parties and exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Zhou Xiang specified which pipes he wanted.

"It's mainly used in the kitchen and bathroom, so we need more elbows."

"Then it's this kind of PVC plastic pipe."

"Okay, I don't understand these. Just get me good quality, aging-resistant ones. I use them as drain pipes. They need to be larger. If they get clogged, it's hard to fix!"

"Okay, I understand."

"Ling Ran, go with the boss and take a look. Ask him how to fix the elbow. When you go back, teach Master Ma Gua and the others. Bring along all the small parts they'll need. Try to buy as many as you can, or you'll have nowhere to find them."

"good!"

Seeing that there was nothing else for Liang Zhihong to do, he said goodbye and left.

"I'm going back to check on the stalls. Have a nice trip!"

"Okay! Goodbye!"

"Goodbye!" Liang Zhihong followed Zhou Xiang's northern farewell, which was great. He looked forward to seeing her again next time.

By the time the pipes were loaded onto the truck, covered with a tarp and tied up, it was already past twelve o'clock. Ling Ran asked Master Chen to drive the car out of the city and stop in a less crowded place to eat.

"Okay." Master Chen spoke in poor Mandarin, and it felt like he would bite his tongue the next moment.

When they stopped to eat, Ling Ran bought another pack of cigarettes and handed it to Master Chen. "Master Chen, the journey is long. You and Little Master Chen should have a cigarette once in a while to wake up."

Master Chen grinned, revealing his yellow teeth. "I'm so sorry! Thank you! Thank you!"

Master Chen took the cigarette, put it in the cab, and then returned to sit down and eat.

Zhou Xiang observed for a while and found that Master Chen was a taciturn person. If you couldn't see him, you would hardly feel his presence.

Master Chen is a talkative person, well, the two of them are a good match.

After the meal, Master Chen sighed and put away the smile that was always on his face.

"Xiao Ling, I have something to say in advance."

Ling Quan sat up straight and said, "You say."

"From here to Zhucheng, we have to cross Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei provinces, which means we have to change several national highways as well as a section of provincial highway.

You should understand the safety on the road. If you are lucky, you will get home safely. If you are unlucky, you will have to pay some money and cigarettes on the road. If you are even more unlucky, you will lose all your money and goods.

Those people definitely won't want your goods, so you might want to prepare some cigarettes and some money as tolls. Harmony brings wealth!

I often drive a sports car and don't want to cause trouble. You look like someone in the team, so I want to say this to you first. For me and the girl next to you, please put up with those people, okay?"

Ling Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Master Chen, I understand what you mean. If it's not excessive, I can tolerate it. But if you push it too far or use insulting words, I won't tolerate it."

Master Chen sighed, knowing that this young man would not compromise easily, so he made it clear in advance, hoping that he would only meet an ordinary villager!

"Well, then, can you pay me part of the fare first? It's safer here, and I don't want this trip to be in vain."

Ling Ran looked at Zhou Xiang, who nodded. She understood Master Chen's requirements. The characteristics of this era were the "road bullies," who were basically villagers from remote villages.

They saw that everyone was getting rich quickly, and they were jealous but couldn't find a way to make money, so they took the villagers with them and set up some messy roadblocks to stop passing vehicles.

Especially long-distance trucks, because those who charter them are basically business owners who are rich.

Drivers who drive long distances have to pay at least a thousand yuan for each trip, so they have money.

So, trucks are the fat sheep in the eyes of these people.

"Okay, give Master Chen one thousand first, and the remaining six hundred when he returns."

Master Chen's smile returned. "Okay, okay! Thank you! Thank you!"

After taking the money from Ling Ran, he sent Master Chen to deposit it immediately.

More than half an hour later, Master Chen came back with a passbook.

The two of them went back to the car and struggled for a while. Then Master Chen went into the restaurant and asked Zhou Xiang and the other two to get in the car and set off.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Zhou Xiang and Ling Ran squeezed into the long seat at the back. Ling Ran's feet were on the engine cover, which was quite comfortable.
