Jiang Hexi was able to control her emotions well; after crying, she quickly calmed down.

On the way back, she talked nonsense to Ms. Zhou on her phone:

"Mom, have you seen the red sorghum I planted in my field?"

“The grains are plump and full, with low moisture content and an average glutinousness of 97.5%, which greatly exceeds the distillery’s grain purchase standards. Let me tell you this, in the entire Canglang Village, you can’t find three households that grow sorghum better than us.”

"Once the liquor is brewed at the Guizhou main factory, I'll buy some and send it to you. It's settled then. I'll hang up now."

Jiang Hexi put down her phone and, seeing Yu Xiangwan turn to look at her, said apologetically:

"Did I speak too loudly? I'll definitely change next time."

"Your voice can be louder."

Yu Xiangwan gave her a knowing smile, then turned to ask Shen Yingyu, "We'd like to go to the town market, CFO, how much pocket money will you give us?"

Is three hundred enough?

Shen Yingyu took out his phone, ready to transfer money at any moment.

The three business team members shouted in unison, "Enough!"

Yan Jie parked the car at the entrance of the market. He sat in the driver's seat. This time, no matter what Jiang Hexi said, he did not plan to go to the market with her.

As a result, Jiang Hexi didn't even ask him a question before leading Chu Yang and Yu Xiangwan straight into the market.

The remaining three men sat in the car. Once the door closed, the surroundings became completely quiet.

Shen Yingyu stared numbly at the camera shoved into the car window and said:

"Director Chen won't let us off the hook. Even if we're sitting here playing on our phones, he'll open a separate live stream and broadcast our every move."

He pointed to the camera and said:

"This live stream alone has 60,000 to 70,000 viewers online at any given time. Don't think they just come in for a quick look and leave. The comment section is flooded with messages. Do you know what they're talking about?"

Yan Jie looked up at him. "What?"

"For example, your Adam's apple is very sexy. Every time you unconsciously swallow, it attracts some netizens to go crazy and flood the comments section with all kinds of requests for kisses. Some people even took screenshots of the swallowing action in slow motion and spread them online."

Shen Yingyu confessed truthfully: "I was left behind in the last mahjong game, and that's why I became the victim of this live stream. Extreme netizens will punish every guest who doesn't actively participate."

Yan Jie and Xie Wanyi got goosebumps all over their bodies, and a chill seeped into their pores.

They opened the car doors and got out, one on each side.

Shen Yingyu followed closely behind.

The three of them walked along the long street and soon found Chu Yang standing in front of the pancake stall.

"Auntie, please add chicken strips, grilled sausage, bacon, pork floss, beef patty, pork tenderloin, kimchi, shredded potatoes, and enoki mushrooms, thank you."

"Okay!" The pancake vendor auntie quickly spread out the batter and replied with a smile.

Shen Yingyu looked at the dazed Chu Yang and asked, "How much is this pancake?"

Chu Yang: "Thirty-six."

"You bought such a giant pancake, are you sure you can finish it?"

"Brother, I have money."

Chu Yang arrogantly told me, "Rich people never care whether they can finish a pancake; they only care that they have to order everything they want to eat."

Shen Yingyu flicked his forehead, and he immediately became obedient, "Brother, I'll share half of this pancake with you."

Yan Jie continued walking forward and found Jiang Hexi in front of a truck selling Chinese cabbages.

He stood behind her, silently watching her haggle over the price.

"Uncle, your cabbage is quite nice, the cabbage is tightly packed, how much is it?"

"Five cents a pound."

"Grandma's cabbage sells for 40 cents a pound, you're selling it for 50 cents, that's too expensive."

"You get what you pay for, young lady. If you buy a lot, I can sell it to you for a discount."

Jiang Hexi waved his hand generously and said, "Forty heads of cabbage, a flat price of four cents a pound, are you selling or not?"

The uncle readily agreed, "Okay, I'll pack the cabbages for you right away."

"Xi-mei, are you sure it's forty cabbages?" Yan Jie asked her suspiciously.

"Forty is indeed a bit too few."

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Hexi finally decided, "Uncle, pack me sixty cabbages."

The uncle readily agreed, insisting that he must give her an extra cabbage.

Yan Jie couldn't understand this at all, "How could we possibly eat so much cabbage?"

Jiang Hexi was puzzled. "Did I say these cabbages can't be given away?"

"So, why did you buy these cabbages—"

"Bury it in a jar to make sauerkraut."

"You know how to make sauerkraut?"

"Don't worry about that, there are plenty of people in the village willing to teach me how to make sauerkraut."

"Sixty cabbages are a bit excessive."

Yan Jie said helplessly, "How many times do I have to go back and forth to carry these bags of cabbages to the van for you?"

Jiang Hexi was really annoyed by him. It was just sixty cabbages, why did he have to make such a fuss and keep nagging her about it?

She glared at him and called out to the uncle, "Uncle, could you deliver these cabbages to my house?"

Uncle: "Of course, young lady, where do you live?"

"Take the cabbage to Canglang Village, and at the crossroads, find any old lady or grandmother under the camphor tree and ask for directions. Just say it's Ximei's cabbage, and someone will naturally take you to my house."

After paying the bill, Jiang Hexi left Yan Jie on the street and stormed off.

Yan Jie was rebuffed, but silently followed behind her until they arrived at the general store that sold water vats.
