Chapter 141 Making Friends
"Sister, let's go."
Ning Qingyuan came over and patted Ning Xiyue, who looked like she was eating a melon, and took her away from the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Brother, how did you know that?" Ning Xiyue followed Ning Qingyuan's footsteps and asked curiously.
"You can see it. I'm your brother, so of course I can see it too. We are the same."
Although he is a simple person, he is not stupid. Today, those two people tried every means to get close to him and talk to him. His silly sister saw the signs, so of course he could see something as well as a brother.
Ning Xiyue glanced at him in dissatisfaction, pretending to hit him angrily, but in the end she just patted Ning Qingyuan's arm lightly: "Hey, second brother, are you praising me or insulting me? But the way you handled it still surprised me, it was unexpectedly good."
"Of course I'm praising you, sister. You believe me." Ning Qingyuan blinked his big eyes sincerely, full of hope for survival. He didn't want to talk about it anymore and changed the subject: "Didn't you say you would take me somewhere? Let's go now."
"Yes, follow me and I'll take you to a good place."
Ning Xiyue led the way and walked towards her courtyard. On the way, Ning Xiyue whispered a brief account of the situation to Ning Qingyuan and made up a reasonable reason for the house, half true and half false.
"Brother, I was lucky. I came to town and saw a dilapidated yard for sale. I also had some money in my pocket from collecting debts from those two people. I bought it when the opportunity came, and then rented it to someone else and asked him to help me repair it. I kept a small room for myself. I went to take a look today and the house has been repaired. It's not bad."
"How much does it cost to buy it?"
Ning Qingyuan asked carefully. He was worried that his sister would be cheated of money. Some people would specifically target innocent and gullible girls like his sister.
One lie requires more lies to cover it up. Ning Xiyue has read so many stories that she can tell them fluently, with an expression as if she had found a treasure.
"It's a good deal. It only costs one hundred yuan, and the area is 500 square meters. I got both the house deed and the land deed. If the man wasn't in a hurry to sell it, and the house was in a shabby state, I might not have been able to pick up this bargain. Thanks to my luck."
"You can stop by there to rest when you come to town next time."
As she spoke, she took out the house deed and land deed from her pocket and showed them to him, proving that she was telling the truth.
Ning Qingyuan took it with some doubt, opened it and looked at it carefully. When he saw the neat seal on the top panel with the three words "Ning Xiyue" written neatly, his worry completely disappeared and was replaced by joy.
"My sister is so lucky. I, your brother, have not encountered such a good thing in the two years since I went to the countryside."
Ning Xiyue smiled without saying anything, she had never encountered such a situation before, so the commander had to be reliable. One commander was worth thousands of horses and soldiers.
While they were talking, they had already walked outside the courtyard: "We're here, look, this is it, there's someone home, let's knock on the door first."
The person who opened the door this time was Li Quan, who had not been seen for a long time. He was still as gentle and refined as ever, and when he saw Ning Xiyue, he hurriedly welcomed her in.
Ning Xiyue smelled a faint scent of Chinese medicine and chicken soup from him, which made her want to drink chicken soup.
"Comrade Xiyue, long time no see. Who is this?"
Ning Xiyue pulled Ning Qingyuan to her side: "Let me introduce you to my brother, Ning Qingyuan. Brother, this is Comrade Li Quan who lives here, a purchaser for the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Hello, Brother Li." Ning Qingyuan greeted him while looking him over.
Li Quan always had a gentle smile on his face: "Hello, Brother Ning. By the way, I just received a batch of defective cloth to be processed. Does Comrade Xiyue need it?"
One of the best hidden benefits of working in the supply and marketing cooperative is that he is always the first group of people to know about the defective products that do not require a ticket and are cheap, so of course he has the greatest chance of buying them. As a buyer, he is the first to know and has the best advantage in buying them.
The most popular defective cloths were basically collected by the supply and marketing cooperative staff who were the first to know the news and then told the family members, who bought them before anyone else, and they were always sold out in no time.
This time he kept some of the defective cloth for himself and had some extra. When the owner of the house came again, he thought of the previous agreement to give him something in return and to build a good relationship, so he asked this question.
Ning Xiyue didn't expect Li Quan to ask her so directly. She was stunned for a second and responded without hesitation: "That's great. I was just thinking of buying some. Thank you, Comrade Li."
Li Quan brought Ning Xiyue and her brother and sister into the house. Li Quan's wife Wu Junya came out holding two pieces of cloth, a ten-foot light blue piece and a twelve-foot dark blue piece.
"The lighter color of this piece has been damaged. The color is uneven and there are mixed colors. The dark blue has been stained with engine oil, but the area is not large. The others are fine. Comrade Xiyue, please take a look."
Ning Qingyuan fell in love with the light-colored cloth at first sight, "Sister, the light blue color looks good. It's best for making skirts in summer."
Ning Xiyue didn't care. Both pieces of cloth had nice colors. In fact, buying cloth was not the main thing. Building good relationships was the main thing. Li Quan on the opposite side had handed over the raft, so of course she had to take it.
Li Quan pushed both pieces of cloth forward: "I can give both pieces of cloth to you."
Ning Xiyue smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, Brother Li, one piece of cloth is enough, just this piece of light blue cloth, my brother and I both like it."
In the end, Ning Xiyue bought the ten feet of light blue defective cloth for ten yuan without any cloth coupons.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, a foot of cloth sold for 1.5 yuan, and there was also a cloth coupon worth about 0.30 cents a foot.
No wonder defective cloth is so popular, it is cheap but not expensive.
But it doesn't matter, defective cloth is indeed not easy to buy.
The cloth was bought, and then Li Quan and Ning Xiyue chatted for a while.
When talking about his usual shopping, Ning Xiyue took the opportunity to say:
"Brother Li, you are very knowledgeable and know a lot. I have something I want you to help me with."
"Oh, sure." Li Quan was a little looking forward to what Ning Xiyue was going to say.
Ning Xiyue lowered her head and took out two 70-year-old ginsengs and one 20-year-old ginseng from her pocket and placed them in front of him. "Please help me see if this is ginseng or angelica."
Ning Qingyuan was surprised for a moment. Could it be that his sister came here to sell ginseng this time? Is this Li Quan reliable?
Li Quan recognized at a glance that these were ginsengs, three pieces of top-quality ginsengs, very fresh, and two of them looked older.
He immediately thought of the director of their supply and marketing cooperative whom he had visited today. His father was ill, and he asked him to pay attention to ginseng when purchasing. The older the better, as it could be used to save his life at a critical moment.
If he buys these three ginsengs back from the director, his promotion to the leader of the purchasing team this year is a foregone conclusion.
"Girl, these are ginsengs. These two are about 70 years old, and there is a younger one, about 20 years old."
Li Quan was also sincere in making friends and did not deceive Ning Xiyue. He told Ning Xiyue the true situation of the ginseng without hiding anything.
"Sister, to be honest, one of my elders is not in good health, and I want to give him some supplements. Can you give me some of these three ginsengs?"
Fortunately, he didn't play any tricks, which allowed Ning Xiyue to temporarily understand his character and realize that he was an honest person and worth making friends with.
It is still necessary to make friends with future home appliance and real estate tycoons in advance so that it will be convenient to stock up houses in the future.
"We are all friends. Since Elder Brother Li needs it, let's give these three ginsengs to Brother Li first."
Ning Xiyue looked at Ning Qingyuan for advice.
This made Li Quan look at Ning Qingyuan again, and Ning Qingyuan nodded in agreement with her sister's words.
"Brother Li, can we talk first?"
As soon as Ning Qingyuan finished speaking, Li Quan felt relieved. He was only halfway to getting it. Now all he had to do was discuss how to distribute the three ginsengs evenly.
In order to get the promotion, he must get it.
Li Quan is determined to win.
Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan were happy to see this happen.
