Zhou Changshan's face changed. He obviously didn't expect Ergouzi to see through their tricks so quickly.
Several other villagers also looked at each other and began to waver.
"Walk!"
Zhou Changshan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's talk about it another day!"
Looking at their backs as they left in shame, Ergouzi shook his head.
Now he knew why Chen Changyuan asked him to patrol at night.
It was still dawn and Chen Changyuan took two buses into the city early in the morning.
This time when he went to the city, he would say hello to Mr. Wei and Zhang Mazi, and then he would take Zhang Mazi and the transport team directly back to Qingshui Village.
It was already around two o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Chunfeng Teahouse!
The aroma of tea wafted in the air, and Mr. Wei and Zhang Mazi were drinking tea by the window.
Seeing Chen Changyuan coming, the two stood up to greet him.
"Hey, Xiao Chen is here!"
Mr. Wei smiled with his eyes narrowed, took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"hey-hey."
Chen Changyuan raised the corner of his mouth and took out a paper bag to show Mr. Wei and Zhang Mazi.
"Look at this treasure, fresh out of the ground."
Mr. Wei took a look at it and his eyes lit up. "Wow! This Scutellaria root is as thick as a radish. It's really strong!"
Chen Changyuan took a sip of tea and asked, "How about it? Should we officially start the transportation? We've already negotiated the shipment from the neighboring village."
"What's the price?"
Zhang Mazi asked, rubbing his hands.
“The market price has increased by 20%.”
Chen Changyuan gestured, "But my people have to follow the car."
"What? This price..."
Mr. Wei frowned.
Although the medicinal materials business is doing well now, what should we do if something unexpected happens?
Chen Changyuan noticed Mr. Wei's hesitation and changed the subject, saying slowly, "The herbal medicine business is tough right now! We need to let the villagers get some benefits so that this business can last."
"Huh, you kid won't lose money, right?"
Zhang Mazi curled his lips and looked at Chen Changyuan.
"Losing money? Tsk!"
Chen Changyuan shook his head. Since he had started planning to cooperate, he was aiming for a long-term partnership. He didn't intend to play by the rules with Zhang Mazi and Mr. Wei.
"My output is twice as much as others, the quality is good, and the cost is actually lower."
Mr. Wei sighed: "Transportation is a big problem..."
Chen Changyuan immediately took out the documents and said, "That's why we formed a transport team. I'll take care of the rest."
After reading the document, Zhang Mazi felt that Chen Changyuan was really capable. The document was well-organized and every sentence was to the point.
However, Zhang Mazi was a little hesitant and asked, "What if someone makes trouble?"
"With your abilities, are you still afraid of him?"
Chen Changyuan blinked.
"Hey, you're using us as a shield!"
Mr. Wei laughed and scolded.
"shield?"
Chen Changyuan chuckled, "This is clearly a great opportunity. It all depends on whether you two dare to take this gamble!"
Zhang Mazi slammed the table and said, "Done! Brother Changyuan, I'm determined to be your friend!"
"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Chen Changyuan raised his teacup and said, "I'll treat you two to a drink once the first batch of herbs arrives."
After Chen Changyuan finished his business at Chunfeng Teahouse, he said goodbye to Mr. Wei and planned to go to the alley where the tailor shop was.
He wanted to see if he could meet An Caicai again.
The setting sun cast a golden glow on the bluestone road. At this time, the workers in the state-owned factories had all gotten off work, and there were more people on the streets.
Chen Changyuan arrived at the door of the tailor shop and looked inside through the window. There were several sewing machines there and a white-haired master craftsman was busy working.
"Ding-dong," Chen Changyuan pushed the door open and went in.
The old tailor looked up and pushed up his reading glasses. "Young man, are you making clothes?"
"How much is this material?"
He touched it.
"It's top-quality stuff!"
The old tailor put down his work and came over. "It's warm and light, perfect for making a scarf."
When Chen Changyuan looked at the material, he couldn't help but think of the light yellow dress An Caicai wore when he saw her last time.
It looks like the material is of excellent quality. Chen Changyuan feels that An Caicai always smells good.
Looking spoiled and lively, Chen Changyuan smiled when he thought of An Caicai.
"Then get a scarf!"
Chen Changyuan pointed at the material and said, "The craftsmanship must be the best."
"Hey, young man, it's still early."
The old tailor took the material with a suspicious look on his face.
“It’s almost there.”
Chen Changyuan chuckled, "It's better to be prepared."
After agreeing on the style and pick-up time, Chen Changyuan thought: It seems I won’t be able to meet An Caicai today.
Just as I was about to go back to the hotel, suddenly!
That street corner isn't...
Bang bang bang!
Chen Changyuan's heart was beating wildly.
Under the old locust tree, An Caicai was holding a camera and taking pictures of the treetops.
The off-white sweater paired with light blue jeans is fresh and refreshing.
He tiptoed over.
An Caicai stared intently at the tree, but noticed nothing.
With a "click", the shutter was pressed.
"What are you filming?"
Chen Changyuan suddenly said this.
"oops!"
An Caicai was so scared that she almost dropped her camera. When she turned around and saw it was him, her eyes lit up at first, and then the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Chen Changyuan? You came to the city?"
"Hey! What are you looking at?"
Chen Changyuan quietly approached her and glanced at the camera screen.
A few little sparrows on the branches were chirping non-stop.
"Hey, do you see a bird's nest on this old locust tree?"
An Caicai raised the corner of her mouth, "This tree is quite old, so charming!"
Chen Changyuan looked up and saw that the tree trunk was cracked and mottled, looking very weathered.
