“But those bosses are really bold. Aren’t they afraid your friend will run away?” Yu Shui asked.
Qin Yiren rolled her eyes at him and said, "Since they dare to buy on credit, it means they have been cooperating for a long time and trust each other. Moreover, Shen Yanming's friend should be quite capable. Smuggling several thousand kilograms of grain is probably not a difficult thing for him."
Yu Shui nodded. "What you said makes sense. It seems I was ignorant."
After finishing the dried fruit in her hand, Qin Yiren felt a little unsatisfied and licked her lips, saying, "It tastes good. Can I exchange it for ten pounds with you and bring it tomorrow?"
"Food is so precious these days, I suggest you exchange less. Otherwise you'll regret it when you go hungry someday," Shen Yanming kindly advised.
However, Qin Yiren failed to appreciate his good intentions and angrily questioned, "Old Shen, what you're saying is too unpleasant to hear. How could I possibly go hungry?"
Although at first I was fussy and afraid of getting tanned, so I didn't do much farm work, I changed later. I worked diligently and conscientiously with my family, and even risked going to the fields to cultivate crops during the period when the virus was rampant. I only had time to relax in the winter.
Moreover, I had already uprooted the precious flowers and plants in the villa garden and planted them with vegetables and fruits. Although they couldn't be saved during the locust plague, there was still some harvest before the plague.
We've converted our bedroom into a vegetable storage room. Whenever we have a harvest, we store half of the vegetables as dried food.
Besides, before the virus, when we weren't working on weekends, my whole family would go out to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms.
If someone as hardworking as me could go hungry, then God would be too unfair.
As Qin Yiren spoke, she began to sound aggrieved, and her words completely shattered the image of the arrogant young lady in everyone's mind.
Everyone thought that Qin Yiren was rich and would be the kind of person who would rather sit than stand or lie down than sit, but who would have thought that Qin Yiren would have such a down-to-earth side?
That's exactly why she was able to unintentionally gain a lot of goodwill.
Qin Yiren opened her mouth, wanting to say a few more words, but Bi Qiaoan whispered a reminder, "Yiren, don't say anything!"
Qin Yiren seemed to have thought of something, her face instantly turned pale, then she glanced at everyone and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone's expression was normal.
At the same time, I also secretly reminded myself that I should think before I speak and act in the future, and not say anything impulsively.
The others didn't think much of it and even praised Qin Yiren, saying what she was capable of.
Qin Yiren's smile almost froze. She silently prayed, "Please, everyone here, forget everything I said. Please don't let it get out. I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives will take notice."
Wei Qin roughly guessed Qin Yiren's thoughts, smiled and changed the subject, saying to Shen Yanming, "Little Shen, I'll exchange two jin of dried fruit. Just mix it with other things for me. Buy a small amount so that the elderly and children in the family can have a taste. They haven't eaten these for two years."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Okay, I'll bring it to Sister Qin tomorrow."
Subsequently, Yu Shui, Cui Xian, and the others also ordered one or two jin from Shen Yanming. They thought that three or five jin of grain was not a big deal, as they could save up enough for one bite a day. They couldn't bear to spend any more than that.
However, Shen Yanming reminded everyone, "Go back and discuss it with your family. If anyone disagrees, just let me know and I can cancel it. Let's not cause family conflicts, okay?"
Shen Yanming's words amused everyone. They all thought it was an exaggeration, but after discussing it at home, they realized that it was not the case at all.
Because many people worry about not having enough food at home and are unwilling to take the risk of satisfying their appetites.
Shen Yanming didn't care; he could simply cancel the order. He was only selling dried fruit to cover his tracks; otherwise, where would he get the food to eat all of it?
As for taking advantage of someone else, he still wouldn't do that.
Seeing Shen Yanming chatting with everyone, Bi Qiaoan lowered her head and took out her phone, preparing to find the video of today's Qinghe Alliance press conference.
But as soon as she unlocked her phone, she saw a message from Qin Yiren: "Qiao An, thank you for reminding me earlier. Otherwise, with my loose tongue, I don't know what kind of trouble I would have caused."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and replied, "You're welcome. Just be more careful next time."
"Well, I still want ten pounds of dried fruit. Can you give it to me privately?"
"That's no problem, but I still suggest you go home and discuss it with your family. If they agree, we can find an intersection to make the deal."
"Okay, I'll ask when I get home. Thank you!"
Bi Qiaoan didn't reply. She opened the official Weibo account of Qinghe Alliance, saw the pinned video, and plugged in her headphones to play it.
As a result, the right earphone was taken off by a large hand.
"Have you finished the statistics?" Bi Qiaoan asked in a low voice.
Shen Yanming nodded. "There will probably be some changes, but there's no rush. Let's wait until they decide."
Then he put the earphone in his ear, turned on the video, and saw General Li, with a serious expression, say: "Today's press conference is to announce three pieces of news."
First, a large-scale temperature drop has occurred in Qinghua Kingdom, especially in the northern region. Currently, temperatures in some areas have dropped to minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, causing great disruption to the lives of local residents.
Due to the sudden drop in temperature in the northern region, most cities failed to make adequate preparations for the cold weather in advance, resulting in frozen and cracked heating pipes and the inability to provide heating.
Therefore, the Qinghe Alliance decided to provide 3V1, 5V1, or 10V1 assistance to northern cities from central and southern cities, relocating people in these areas to central and southern regions to escape the cold winter.
The specific relocation time and number of people will be determined by the receiving cities themselves, and relevant units must fully cooperate.
The Qinghe Alliance would like to remind residents that this action is not mandatory, and residents can decide for themselves whether they need to relocate.
If you relocate, then after moving to a city in the central or southern part of the country, you will have to bear all expenses except for rent, including water and electricity bills, heating bills, as well as the consumption of food and vegetables, and the need for clothing and bedding.
Moreover, this relocation is only a measure to cope with the extremely cold weather, and residents can return on their own when the weather warms up next year.
Of course, after the residents are evacuated, local security forces will be stationed in various residential areas in the northern cities to protect the city's security and safeguard residents' property from infringement.
Secondly, a large-scale power outage occurred in Qinghua National Park last week. An investigation revealed two reasons for this.
One reason is the nationwide temperature drop and the lack of heating, leading to a shortage of electricity as air conditioners, electric heaters, electric blankets, and other appliances are all running throughout Qinghua.
On the other hand, the drop in temperature and snowfall caused some power lines to freeze, break, or be damaged. Power was fully restored only after inspection and repair.
However, the electricity shortage problem in Qinghua Kingdom remains unresolved. In order to conserve energy and ensure that all residents have electricity throughout the day, the Qinghe Alliance has decided to implement time-limited power supply. We hope that all citizens can understand.
