Xie An and Xie Xun discussed it for a moment: "How about this, we'll prepare the materials tomorrow, and you can help with the brewing later. I'll bring you the camera tomorrow so you can go sightseeing?"
Several companions smiled excitedly, and Ji Xia agreed.
The three girls were excitedly discussing which tourist attractions were worth visiting and what clothes to wear for photos, while the four men were discussing the taste and flavor of the red wine, looking very pleased.
The group leisurely ate their dinner, and when the waiter announced the bill, the two girls were startled.
Xie An paid the bill calmly, then shook his head at Chen Jing with a smile: "It's too little, too little. I'll treat you to a better meal next time."
"Okay, I'll wait. We'll drink together after your wine is ready."
"No problem, I guarantee you'll eat and drink well."
Xie An readily agreed and patted Chen Jing on the shoulder: "Good brother, we're definitely friends now. I'll bring you the camera tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'll take you to my house to brew wine."
"Okay, we'll wait for Brother Xie at home."
After leaving the grand restaurant, I watched the Xie brothers walk away into the distance.
Chen Qiuyu shook her head and pouted, "There wasn't much food, how come it cost over a hundred yuan? This restaurant is too expensive!"
Ji Xia glanced at her with a sneer: "The rest of the orders are all seafood. It's quite far from the seaside, and the transportation costs are very high."
Hou Xiaolian pursed her lips and said, "Next time I want to eat seafood, I'll just go home and eat it. It's too much of a waste to eat here."
"Yes, the portion is small. I thought I wouldn't be able to finish it, but when it was served, I found there was only a little bit. I feel a bit hungry."
Hou Fang was small and thin, but had a huge appetite. He could eat three bowls of rice in one go in the brigade and still feel hungry. He usually finished off the leftovers from the meals cooked at home.
The contracting hasn't even started tonight, and more than a dozen plates are already empty.
Chen Jing brought the Xie brothers over and laughed when he heard this: "If you want delicious food that is also cheap, I'll take you to Huacheng and Fengcheng next time we go back to our hometown. There are the most food options there, and the prices are cheap. Ten yuan a person can eat until they can't walk anymore."
"What are the backgrounds of those two people? Did you know them before?"
Chen Jing shook his head, and Ji Xia couldn't help but wonder, "Doesn't he know anyone who's been so kind to him?"
Even if you're hospitable, you don't need to be this overly attentive today.
It was past nine o'clock at night, and pedestrians on the street were gradually heading home. The streetlights cast very long shadows on the pedestrians, and the long shadows revealed a sense of loneliness.
Chen Jing draped his arm over Ji Xia's shoulder, chuckling casually, "What do you want to say? Do you want to ask why I've been so nice today?"
Ji Xia nodded. Chen Jing loved making friends, but when he was with his friends, his demeanor always carried a hint of arrogance.
After all, most of his friends asked him for advice on how to make money, and even if Chen Jing tried to be low-key and humble, a group of people would still fawn over him.
"Actually, I didn't think of it at first. It was just that as I was chatting with them, I suddenly realized that their names sounded familiar."
"Sounds familiar? Which brother of yours have mentioned it?"
"Yes, I forgot which brother mentioned it, saying there are a few young masters in the capital, either the sixth or fourth young master, I think their surname is Xie, but I forgot what Xie it is. I wonder if it's these two?"
"Sixth Young Master and Fourth Young Master? What's their background?" Ji Xia frowned.
"I don't know. I've heard they have powerful backers and considerable influence in Beijing. Ordinary people wouldn't dare to mess with them. I'm not sure if these two are the ones in question. Anyway, as long as we don't offend them, that's fine."
Chen Jing is very generous and doesn't easily offend people unless they cross his bottom line, and he doesn't ask others for help.
Someone like Lin Chen, who wants to steal his woman, is not going to offer her up; the only option is to offend him completely.
Ji Xia nodded upon hearing this. "Alright, it seems we should try our best to do a good job with the winemaking."
After appeasing Ji Xia, Chen Jing waved to Hou Fang and the other two, who had deliberately walked far away: "Come here, I have some good news to tell you."
Hou Fang and the other two were worried that getting too close would obstruct Chen Jing and Ji Xia's stroll, so they walked away laughing after hearing this.
"Brother Jing, what's the good news?"
"I ran into an old friend when I went home to get my red wine tonight."
Chen Jing glanced at his three companions with a relaxed expression: "Have you ever thought about buying a house in Beijing? Or transferring your household registration to Beijing?"
"What? Buying a house in Beijing?"
Hou Fang and the other two looked shocked. After a long while, they shook their heads in disbelief: "Brother Jing, don't try to fool me. Where would I get the money to buy a house in Beijing?"
I heard that the courtyard house they live in costs more than 10,000 yuan, which is simply unbelievable for three young men and women.
Where did they get more than 10,000 yuan?
Chen Jing shrugged: "Tonight I ran into the team leader from the housing management bureau. He specifically asked me if I was interested in a small courtyard house, only a little over 100 square meters, for a little over 3,000 yuan."
Hou Fang looked at his sister: "Where did we get more than three thousand yuan?"
"You two siblings have been with me for almost a year now, you must have saved some money, right? How much do you have in total?"
Since they joined the workshop, which provided room and board, their minimum wage was thirty or forty yuan, and sometimes it exceeded one hundred yuan.
"Think about it yourselves. This is the capital city. It's not so easy to settle down here. If you buy a house and transfer your household registration, you will be Beijing residents, and your children will also be Beijing residents, studying and going to school here."
Hou Fang and Hou Xiaolian looked at each other and whispered to each other: "Brother Jing, the two of us siblings together have about 1,100 yuan."
