Chapter 1931 The Goods Have Finally Arrived
"Yunzheng." Da Niu was very happy, and looked him up and down for a while. "Why are you so tanned and thin? Have you been having a hard time these days?"
"It's alright, we're not that busy anymore." He glanced at the convoy behind him, realizing that being stuck here wasn't going to solve anything, and said to Da Niu, "Let's get the goods to the shop first. Come on, I'll take you to see A Yu."
Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, the officer next to him bowed to Meng Yunzheng and prepared to return to the city gate. Da Niu quickly gave him a bag of melon seeds and three packets of instant noodles, saying, "Thank you for leading the way, officer."
The official glanced at Meng Yunzheng, and seeing the latter nod, he accepted the gift, then said, "Young Master Lu is too kind."
After the officials left, Meng Yunzheng led Da Niu toward Fuyuan Street.
The people along the street watched as the long procession walked from the city gate to the government office, and then from the government office to Fuyuan Street.
At first, people would only glance at the convoy, but since it went to the government office and then left, the people couldn't help but become more curious, and some even followed behind to watch the spectacle.
It wasn't until the convoy stopped in front of the corner shop on Fuyuan Street that everyone suddenly realized what was going on, especially the shopkeepers and some shop owners in the vicinity. Their doubts of the past few days were finally answered—could these be the goods that the county magistrate was going to sell? There were so many of them!
But the goods on the cart were completely covered by tarpaulin, so they couldn't see them even if they wanted to.
The shop was open. Today, Jiang Fengshou was cleaning with Zhou Tiedong and Li Rongman. They had heard from the owner that the goods would arrive in the next few days, so they came early.
What a coincidence! The convoy arrived right on cue.
Jiang Fengshou hurriedly came out of the shop, cupped his hands in greeting to Meng Yunzheng, "Young Master Meng, this is..."
"This is a shipment from Dong'an Prefecture. This is Da Niu, your boss's elder brother. You can call him Manager Lu."
"Manager Lu." Jiang Fengshou and the other two were very happy. After waiting for so many days, the goods had finally arrived.
Meng Yunzheng glanced at the crowd gathered on the street and said to everyone, "Everyone, please take this opportunity to unload the goods. Shu Yu should arrive soon."
He had already sent Xia Yan to inform the Lu family in advance. Shu Yu's rented house was nearby, so she should arrive soon.
Sure enough, just as Da Niu and his men untied the tarpaulin from the first cart, Shu Yu had already run over with Ying Xi.
"Brother Da Niu, you're here? I thought you'd be a few days away."
Da Niu laughed, "Knowing you needed it urgently, I didn't dare delay on the way. Sending it over as soon as possible puts my mind at ease." When Shu Yu got closer, he frowned, "You look thinner too?"
"No, it's just psychological from not seeing me for so many days." Shu Yu looked at the convoy in front of her, quite satisfied. "How many did you send over?"
"We've delivered everything we could. It's a long way here, so it's not easy to make a delivery. When we set off, the workshops didn't have much stock left. Fortunately, the expanded workshops we had earlier were already in use, so it didn't delay the supply to the capital and Dong'an Prefecture."
Actually, the workshop didn't have much stock to begin with. After the New Year, a batch was shipped from the capital, and a second branch opened in Dong'an Prefecture, which was also very successful. If time weren't so tight, Da Niu would have liked to wait a little longer.
"That's good." Shu Yu raised her hand, turned her head and roughly did some mental calculations, but unexpectedly stopped halfway through, looking at the middle-aged couple who came out of the carriage with surprise.
