Chapter 271 Very Practical
In the underground garage of Building 6, Shen Yanming called Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong and asked them to come down to help if they were at home.
As it turned out, Zhang Heping was working overtime in the hospital, and Ji Kangyong had just woken up. Shen Yanming estimated their working speed and called Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai.
Wang Lai was in the dormitory and arrived in a few minutes.
Chen Shunwei was at home, but his home was very close to the residential area, and he could reach the underground garage in about ten minutes by riding an electric bike.
When the two of them arrived, Ji Kangyong had not come down yet. Shen Yanming decided not to wait any longer and moved things into the elevator with the driver, Chen Shunwei, and Wang Lai.
Sack after sack of dried fruits were stuffed into the elevator until it stopped because it indicated that it was overloaded.
At this time, Ji Kangyong arrived in another elevator. When he saw this scene, everyone was stunned.
"Old Shen, where have you been? Why did you bring back so many things?"
"In Nan Province, a friend's mother was ill and hospitalized, so I gave him a ginseng, and he bought so many things back for me.
But he exchanged it for grain, and I thought we shouldn’t take advantage of him like this, so go to the workplace tomorrow and ask, if anyone wants it, three pounds of fine grains for one pound of nuts, any kind you want, until they run out.”
Shen Yanming's words were half true and half false. He not only explained the source, but also arranged the destination.
When Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai were helping with the moving, they were listening carefully with their ears pricked up. As for the driver, he had listened to it for the third time and almost memorized it.
It took the elevator several trips to move all the things into the house.
Because the driver had to return to Southern Province overnight, Shen Yanming took Ji Kangyong and moved some vacuum-packed cornmeal, a few bags of sweet potato vermicelli, two bags of dried vegetables and a jar of pickles from the bedroom and put them in the truck compartment.
Then he stuffed two boxes of cigarettes, a bottle of water, and a bag of dried fruits weighing about five kilograms into the driver's pocket.
The driver happily took the things and promised to deliver them to Zeng Yiming.
After seeing the driver off, Shen Yanming called Zeng Yiming and told him clearly the types and quantities of supplies he had brought for him. He also reminded him, "Eat them first, and use the rest to pay for the goods. I have limited ability, so I can only give this much."
Zeng Yiming was deeply moved after hearing this and thanked Shen Yanming repeatedly.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanming asked everyone to go back to the house and sit down.
As soon as the door was opened, Bi Qiaoan asked everyone to sit on the sofa, then brewed a pot of tea and poured it for them, "Hurry up and take a rest. You have worked really hard today."
Shen Yanming sat on the sofa, looking at the sacks piled in a corner of the living room and the three machines placed on the balcony, and suddenly felt a little amused.
He originally only wanted to buy a peanut roasting machine, and dried fruits and the like were just a by-product. But who would have thought that Zeng Yiming would stuff such a large pile of dried fruits, all of which were roasted, on him, and the machines became just a foil.
Shen Yanming took out a fruit plate, stepped forward and grabbed a few handfuls of nuts and placed them on the coffee table, and said with a smile: "Try them all, you're welcome!"
Ji Kangyong grabbed a handful directly, but Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai were a little reserved.
Although they and Ji Kangyong were both guests, the difference in their closeness was huge.
They are friends, so there is no need to be polite. But the two of them only got to know each other because they helped each other a few times, and the other party compensated them every time.
Seeing that they didn't move, Shen Yanming grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into their hands, "There are so many at home, eat them quickly, or they will get damp if you don't eat them."
Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai looked at each other before slowly starting to eat.
Ji Kangyong tasted a few and said, "Old Shen, this thing is good. It should be able to sell."
"Well, if I sell some and give some away, I'll have enough. If they hadn't exchanged these for food, I wouldn't have been willing to sell them. It's not easy to eat good food these days."
"That's right. When you leave, grab a few for me. I'll try to get you 100-200 kilograms of business from the company."
Shen Yanming nodded and said, "Okay, but don't let them buy too much. Although there is no purchase limit here, exchanging grain for dried fruits is not a good deal these days. You will end up being blamed."
"Well, I'll remind them."
They sat and chatted for a while, and when it was half past nine, Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai stood up and said goodbye.
Shen Yanming took out two plastic bags, grabbed some different kinds of dried fruits, and handed them to the two men, saying that it was to thank them for their help.
Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai couldn't refuse, so they accepted it. They returned home happily and told their family and colleagues what Shen Yanming had said.
After the two of them left, Shen Yanming glanced at Ji Kangyong and said, "Let's try to get the machine started?"
"Aren't you afraid of tripping the gate?"
"I'm a little scared, but isn't it for use after buying it? How do you know if it works if you don't try it?"
Ji Kangyong was somewhat speechless and asked, "What did the person selling the machine say?"
"He said it's OK, but we haven't tried it yet, so who knows?"
"Then you wait a moment. I'll go to the bottom of the building to keep watch. If someone happens to be in the elevator and the circuit breaker trips, someone could die."
"Well, you are thoughtful."
"Oh, right, let Qiao An come down with me. One of us will guard the first floor, and the other will guard the garage."
Chen Yanming originally wanted to say that he would go out and let Qiao An try to plug it in at home, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Bi Qiao An hopping to put on his coat.
In that case, he would just wait at home.
"Oh, that's not right. If you go down, you can only stop those who want to go upstairs. What about those who want to go downstairs?"
Ji Kangyong paused in his motion of opening the door. "How can I care about so many things? There are not many people taking the elevator at this time. The two of us will be enough to guard the two key entrances."
Seeing this, Shen Yanming could only nod, "Okay, I hope everything goes well for us."
After Ji Kangyong and Bi Qiaoan got out of the elevator, they called Shen Yanming and said, "Please plug it in and see if it can handle the load."
Shen Yanming hummed and pressed the plug of the vacuum packaging machine into the socket.
At this moment, Shen Yanming's muscles were tense and his heart was beating violently.
Fortunately, everything was normal. The lights in the house were still on and the vacuum packaging machine was started.
"Come back, you two. It's already plugged in and working!"
Ji Kangyong nodded, returned to the first floor from the underground garage, called Bi Qiaoan and went back to the 16th floor.
After Bi Qiaoan returned home, he went to the bedroom and took out all the dried meat that was drying in the sun, packed them one by one, and then put them into the vacuum packaging machine to suck out the air.
It took less than half an hour to finish everything.
Ji Kangyong patted the vacuum packaging machine and said happily: "This thing is good, very practical!"
