Chapter 293: Friendship Not Yet There
Ke Wenpei was encouraged by several partners and was full of confidence. He decided directly: "Let's take the bag of dried fruits home today, gather at my house tomorrow morning, and then go to the market together, and try to sell all of them before Sunday."
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Ke Wenpei continued: “Go back tonight, each family will prepare 400 kilograms of food, and we will get the goods first.
When we receive the residents of Beiha City next week, we will directly put the dried fruits at the reception point. I believe that after seeing them, many people will be tempted.
That way, we don’t have to go out and can get a lot of food.”
Ke Wenpei's words moved everyone, and they praised him one after another: "Brother Pei is so smart, he even thought of this trick. Before, I was worried about what to do next week!"
"That's right, Brother Pei is the smartest among us. If it weren't for Brother Pei, we wouldn't have this opportunity to make a fortune!"
Ke Wenpei had never been flattered like this before, and for a moment he felt very comfortable.
He thought to himself, this person really needs to be praised and flattered, otherwise how can he show his excellence.
While they were still feeling elated, over there, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan received a call from Zeng Yiming while they were on the road.
He told her about Ke Wenpei's order and his desire to have Shen Yanming act as a guarantor.
Shen Yanming pulled the car over, put his phone on speaker, and chuckled, "You're right. My relationship with him is not close enough to guarantee him."
"I guess so. Nowadays, you have to think twice before even guaranteeing money for others, let alone food! I'm calling you to remind you that if you help others out of kindness, don't let them bite you back in the end."
Shen Yanming nodded, “I’ll pay attention, thank you!”
"Why are you being polite? I just said a few words, which is far less than what you have done for me."
"Don't say that again in the future. It's too polite and too distant. I'm embarrassed to continue to associate with you."
"Oh, come on. If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it anymore. But you can't cut off ties with me just because of such a small matter! Look at you, they are just asking for favors, but you don't even allow me to mention it!"
"There's really no need to mention it, because the pills I gave you can only play a supporting role. The ones who really cured your mother were the doctors and nurses in the hospital!
You always say that I'm your mother's savior, which makes me feel like I'm taking credit for someone else's work, and I feel guilty.
In fact, to put it bluntly, we two just helped a little between friends. The real contributors are those who worked hard in the hospital.
Besides, didn’t you say that your mother’s attending physician is a distant relative of yours? You should thank him and stop mentioning me all the time, which makes him feel uncomfortable.”
Zeng Yiming listened and nodded, saying, "I see. I will pay attention to it in the future. When my mother is discharged from the hospital, I will treat everyone to a good meal."
"Weren't we hungry last week? How can we have delicious food this week?"
"Haha, now that I'm in a good mood, I can think of other things. I've got a lot of meat recently. Do you want some?"
Shen Yanming raised his eyebrows, "Where did you get it from? Is the quality up to standard?"
"Of course I passed! You know the farm in Chuncheng, it's the largest one in Chun Province!
Aren’t they state-owned? Because of some regulations of the Qinghe Alliance, they can only sell meat to designated merchants since last year.
This news was reported on TV at the time, so I was particularly impressed.
I had always thought that they really didn’t sell meat anymore, but a few days ago, when I chatted with a boss while getting some goods, I learned that this summer, the Qinghe Alliance introduced a new policy to encourage major farms to try out new breeding models, allowing a corresponding proportion of the output to be sold freely as a reward for expanding production scale.”
Shen Yanming was a little surprised after hearing this, "Really? I haven't even heard of this news!"
"Of course it's true, otherwise how could I buy all this meat!
However, despite this regulation, the extra meat is not enough to supply the employees in the factory, so how can it be sold abroad?
So everyone worked together to conceal the news. Only those who had relatives working in the farm could get some inside information, but in order to eat more meat, everyone kept silent about it.
I also spent a lot of effort and asked a lot of people for help to find someone who could take care of things. I bought two pigs from him and they provided me with food for a year or so.
Do you want it? If you want it, I'll give you one?" Zeng Yiming asked.
Shen Yanming was not short of meat, but he lacked a reason to take out the meat.
After thinking for a while, he said to Zeng Yiming, "Just give me about 20 kilograms. I can't eat more than that, and the refrigerator at home is so small that it can't hold more."
"Okay then. I'll cut you the best pork belly. Come back to me when you're done eating. I'll go to Chuncheng and get some."
"Okay, I'll trouble you then! By the way, when will you arrive?"
"I will take the highway on Saturday night and arrive at your place during the day on Sunday. Then I will rest at your house for a day and drive back to Nanshi at night." Zeng Yiming said.
"Why don't you come during the day? Driving at night is tiring and unsafe."
"I have to deliver goods to several second-tier agents on Saturday. It will probably be evening by the time I'm done. I'll drive to Haishi then."
"Then please drive safely. If you are too tired, come back on Sunday and stay at home for a night before going back." Shen Yanming said.
"No, I'm not used to spending the night at someone else's house. Besides, I'm worried about my home." Zeng Yiming said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll wait for you at home. We can talk about anything when we meet."
"Okay, see you this weekend!"
After Chen Yanming hung up the phone, he looked at Bi Qiaoan and said, "It seems that our world of two is going to be discounted again!"
"It's Saturday, right? Let's spend some quality time together tomorrow."
Shen Yanming nodded, "You said it, don't go back on your word!"
"It's just a world for the two of us, what's there to regret? Besides, we're always in a world for the two of us, right?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head and laughed, but she didn't know that Shen Yan had been planning for a long time, wanting this and that.
The two returned home in the dark, and as soon as they opened the door, a gust of hot air hit them in the face.
After trying the water for a few days, the heating finally came on!
Bi Qiaoan quickly took off her down jacket and walked into the bedroom to change into pajamas when she was hugged from behind by Shen Yanming, "Didn't you say you would spend time with me in our world of two? Let's go into the space together?"
Since Shen Yanming wanted to, Bi Qiaoan naturally agreed. Anyway, there was heating now, and the temperature difference between inside and outside the space was not much, so there was no need for them to stay outside.
I seldom went into the space before, simply because I was afraid that I would get used to the temperature inside the space and would feel unbearably cold and uncomfortable outside.
