Chapter 500: Developing into a Long-term Customer
It was already late at this time, and Wen Shi and his team returned on the last ferry into the port.
This means that there is no ferry out of the island from the port, so Ning Jiandong can only stay overnight and leave tomorrow morning.
Since the visitor is a guest, Wen's mother prepared some delicious dishes to entertain him.
For this purpose, we also asked Mr. Li from next door and Mr. Zhang who came back to pick up He An to be the guests.
In the evening, the atmosphere was very lively with people drinking and chatting.
The topics we talk about are all over the place, but we will never touch on topics that shouldn’t be touched.
Yi Chichi and Wen's mother didn't respond, concentrating on eating and taking care of He An. If the men wanted to talk, let them do it.
After eating and drinking, Ning Jiandong fell asleep.
He didn't fall asleep naturally, but was drunk by the old man and his men.
He is a good drinker. When he is drunk, he falls asleep immediately. He doesn't talk nonsense and never gets drunk.
He snored loudly while lying on the table.
Even after moving him into the cleaned-up guest room and tossing and turning, they still couldn't wake him up.
"Will he throw up at night?"
After everyone was settled, Lao Li asked a creepy question.
Yi Chichi and the others looked at each other, and then looked at the old man who seemed to be indifferent to the matter.
The old man, who was originally holding a teacup and drinking tea slowly, noticed their burning gazes and looked over. "Why are you looking at me? I can control everything, but how can I control whether he vomits or not?"
He smiled when he heard it, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask you if there's any way to prevent Uncle Ning from vomiting at night."
"You can drink a bowl of hangover soup, but you don't have any."
This is indeed not the case.
So, I can only pay attention at night.
After cleaning up and sending the people away, Wen's mother yawned and said, "I'm going to take a shower first."
"I'll get you some water."
Wen Shi ran to the back quickly to prepare water for his mother to take a bath.
The two large buckets and the hot water in the pot were all emptied.
Women used too much water to take a shower, so after bringing it in, he boiled another pot. Yi Chichi looked at the amount and asked him, "Aren't you going to shower?"
"It's a little hot, I'll wash with cold water."
Yi Chichi touched his body and found the temperature was normal. She looked up and found Wen Shi looking at her speechlessly, "Wife, I don't have a fever, I just have internal heat."
Very meaningful.
Yi Chichi, “…”
I understand. I’m really holding it in.
She held it in for a long time before finally saying, "I'm not starving you either."
"There's still a little difference. I can't be a little white shark in the waves."
He looked very aggrieved and said, "I have to take it easy."
In other words, it's not satisfying enough.
Yi Chichi sighed, "Just bear with it for now, your belly is too big."
I feel uncomfortable and have no idea.
It's difficult for her to even turn over, so we really can't expect her to have any wild thoughts.
Wen Shi hummed, and when the water temperature came up, he filled the basin and went to the guest room. "Wife, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll wipe Uncle Ning so that he won't sleep uncomfortably at night."
"good."
Half an hour later, Wen's mother came to replace her after taking a shower. Wen Shi was busy helping her. By the time the couple had finished showering and lay down on the bed, it was almost nine o'clock.
The baby has had a good rest and has officially entered the active period of punching, kicking and swimming around.
Wen Shi looked at her belly, a bulge here and a small bulge of hair there. He reached out to touch it and looked at her again, "Wife, does it hurt?"
"I'm used to it."
There was a little bit at the beginning, especially the first few times, but as it happened more often, I didn't feel anything anymore.
Wen Shi kissed her and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will educate the baby well when it is born."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to let go when the time comes."
He thought about it carefully, "If it's my daughter, I might really feel reluctant to let her go. If it's my son..."
After a pause, he sighed, "Probably not willing to do so."
Yi Chi was speechless, this was probably a kind father.
There is a high probability that she will be the strict mother in their family in the future.
"Let's make a deal first. If you're going to be a kind father and I'm going to be a strict mother, you can't interfere with my education. No matter what the situation, you have to ensure my authority in education."
"I understand this. I promise not to interfere. No matter what the matter is, I will firmly support your authority."
The response was particularly straightforward, but Yi was hesitant to express any hope.
You can only wait until the baby is born and then act according to the situation.
Guessing that the two of them ignored the baby, the little one started to punch and kick in rebellion in her belly. Yi Chichi held her belly and kicked him with her feet, "Hurry up, read to the baby, or even sing a song."
Wen Shi said "oh", took out the comic book to read, then sang and interacted with the baby. After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, his stomach calmed down.
He rested his hand on Yi Chi Chi's round belly. After a long silence, he lowered his voice, as if afraid of disturbing the baby again, and whispered, "Are you asleep?"
"Probably."
"Can we go to bed then?"
"Go to sleep."
So, the couple lay down, Wen Shi hugged her habitually, with his hand on his belly, Yi Chichi closed his eyes and chatted with him casually, and suddenly he said -
"I forgot to ask, how much did Uncle Ning charge you for that family portrait?"
Yi Chichi opened his eyes quickly and said, "Damn it, I forgot to ask the price."
Wen Shi was silent for a moment, "Uncle Ning didn't say anything either?"
"without."
We were so busy discussing other things that we didn't even talk about the price.
But don't panic, "I won't lose out. This family portrait is not much more difficult than double-sided embroidery. Plus, the meaning is different. I believe the price Uncle Ning will negotiate will only be higher, not lower."
Facts proved that she was right. When the couple asked Ning Jiandong the next morning, he gave a figure of 5,800.
Wen Shi's eyes suddenly widened, "Foreign exchange?"
"Well, we can't settle it with him using our money."
"Settle foreign exchange for my wife?"
"You want to pay with our currency?"
It is impossible to give her foreign exchange.
Yi Chichi didn't care. She was not going abroad, so it was useless to ask for foreign currency. It would be even more troublesome to submit materials to prove the source of the foreign currency. Direct exchange was a good thing for her.
"When is the bill?"
"The payment will be made after delivery. Now we are taking advance payment."
Ning Jiandong did not hide anything from them and spoke honestly, "Although the delivery will take two years, you can't be careless. This person can be developed into a long-term customer."
This is the rhythm of the situation.
However, the couple did not plan to ask. They did not have the opportunity to face the foreign guests in the short term, so it would be useless to ask.
In this case, it is better to wait until the time is right before making plans.
"Hurry up and have breakfast. I'll take you to the port."
Wen Shi laid out the breakfast he had brought back one by one. Ning Jiandong glanced at it and sighed, "The island is great. There's no shortage of seafood."
Wen's mother was setting the table and asked, "How about I go to the market with you to buy some dried seafood after you finish eating?"
There are markets on the islands, selling grains, oils, rice, noodles, seafood, some agricultural products, and cloth woven by ethnic minority villagers. It is a legal market where people can trade freely and no one will report it.
No one accepted the report.
It was only opened in the past two years.
Earlier, only state-owned enterprises were allowed to conduct unified purchase and sales, which was similar to the nature of the supply and marketing cooperatives in department stores.
Now ethnic minority villagers are allowed to set up stalls freely, but they have to pay a management fee, which is not expensive, and they pay it after selling the products.
Ning Jiandong didn't know this, and when he heard this, he was both nervous and anxious, "Is there going to be any trouble?"
"Won't."
After Wen Shi explained the nature of the market, he immediately became eager to make a large purchase.
But there was a problem, he didn't bring that much money or tickets.
So he asked to borrow money.
Yi Chichi was not afraid that he would not pay it back, so he quickly took out five Great Unity Banknotes and some bills and gave them to him.
