He wouldn't care about other people, but he deeply respected soldiers like Yu Liu.
So he didn't mind the trouble of treating them to a meal.
"No need, we came to discuss buying some seafood from you. We heard you buy fish, so we came to see if you have any good seafood available right now."
Yi Guohai stepped forward and said with a smile.
Fish Collector Liu immediately replied with a smile, "Yes, yes, most of the fish have been shipped out today. The warehouse is now full of wavy lobsters. Let me show you."
Yi Guohai nodded. He had gone to great lengths to get along with that important person. He knew that the important person liked seafood, so as soon as they arrived, he immediately called people to come with him to buy seafood.
I'm so lucky! I actually ran into the Ripple Green Dragon. I'm sure I can make a good impression on that person this time.
"Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li, you need to take good notes."
Yi Guohai said to the two young men behind him.
These two were assigned to him by Xing Yuan. They had previously followed Xing Yuan. Yi Guohai thought Xing Yuan was very smart, and with his people around, he could figure out what that person liked.
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li looked at each other and followed Yi Guohai without saying a word.
They didn't like Yi Guohai; they thought he was too flamboyant.
Even though that person had eaten in the cafeteria, Yi Guohai still went out to buy seafood. He was being so attentive and using that person's name as an excuse. They were unhappy but had no choice but to obey. What if it really was that person's order?
Actually, their leader will also arrange the seafood, but it will be tomorrow instead of tonight.
After all, they only arrived tonight, and there was no prior notice.
Liu, who was in charge of fish, didn't know anything about these things. He led them to the warehouse below and opened it so that Yi Guohai and the others could inspect the goods.
"With so many lobsters, are they really that easy to catch?"
Xiao Zhang couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Xiao Li was also amazed. They weren't from the coast and had only ever seen mountains since they were young. They had seen a lot of seafood and fish these days and were used to it, but they had never seen so many lobsters before.
Liu, the fish buyer, smiled and said, "Lobsters are not easy to catch, but sometimes you get lucky and catch them effortlessly. How many do you want?"
"Let's start with a sack. Do you have any other fish? Fresh ones, please."
Yi Guohai casually remarked, but after looking around and not seeing any sea fish, he couldn't help but ask again.
Liu, the fish collector, wanted to say no, but then he thought that the Su family had some. He couldn't miss the opportunity to deal with soldiers, so he swallowed his words and instead said with a smile, "I don't have any here, but I know someone who has some, and they even have good fish like the East Star Grouper."
Upon hearing about the good fish, Yi Guohai's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Where? Take us there."
Liu nodded and immediately led Yi Guohai and the other two to the Su family.
"Comrades, let me tell you, the Su family is incredibly lucky. They'll be getting a bigger ship soon, and there will definitely be plenty of big fish coming their way. I'm the one who collects all their fish. If you need any seafood for your meals, just let us know!"
Taking advantage of the situation, Liu was trying to build relationships. If he could get in touch with the military, the benefits would be endless.
Yi Guohai frowned upon hearing the name "Su family" but did not respond.
Liu, the fishmonger, noticed this and wisely refrained from saying anything more.
Xiao Li said, "We have dedicated people for food procurement; we don't have the final say in this area."
Yi Guohai was very impolite. The people were just making a casual remark, and his ignoring them was going too far.
When they arrived at their post, they saw many people trying to sell their belongings to the post; such inquiries were perfectly normal.
They're just asking a question; they don't necessarily need to give a definitive answer. What's wrong with giving a reply?
"I see, thank you for your explanation, comrade. I was unaware of any regulations involved."
Liu, the fish collector, looked at Xiao Li and said with a smile.
This comrade is nice. He relieved his embarrassment, and Liu, who was collecting fish, remembered what Xiao Li looked like.
Along the way, Liu the fish collector remained silent. When they were almost at the Su family's house, he pointed to the Su family's gate and said, "It's just ahead. I can already smell the fish. It smells so good."
Yi Guohai frowned again. He felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn't remember when he had been there before, especially since the family also shared the surname Su.
He tried to reassure himself that it couldn't be such a coincidence.
Liu, the fishmonger, went up to knock on the door.
"Brother Su..."
Liu, the fishmonger, felt that Yi Guohai's expression was too sour, and he was no longer as serious as before. He thought he would just ask on their behalf, and if the Su family refused to sell, he would not speak up for them.
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li looked at each other and recognized that this was the Su family. Both of them looked quite relaxed, as they remembered that this family was very easygoing.
The women are all gentle, and I haven't seen the men, but I imagine they're all quite nice.
Su Chengguo opened the door when he heard the shout. The family had just finished eating and were resting. His sister-in-law and wife were cleaning up the dishes.
Upon seeing Liu, who was collecting fish, Su Chengguo smiled and asked, "Brother Liu, you've come at an inopportune time. We just finished eating. Didn't you wash your feet during the New Year?"
Su Chengguo jokingly referred to Liu as the fishmonger.
Fish Collector Liu smiled and said, "We have important business. These comrades want to buy some sea fish. Do you want to sell them to them?"
Liu, the fish collector, patted Su Chengguo on the shoulder and then stepped aside.
Su Chengguo then realized that Liu, the fish collector, had brought people with him.
Upon hearing that he was a soldier, he was ready to sell without hesitation, but when he saw who it was, Su Chengguo's face turned cold: "Yi Guohai! You dare to come to my house?"
Upon seeing Yi Guohai, Su Chengguo felt a surge of anger rising within her.
Yi Guohai felt that Su Chengguo's voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. When Su Chengguo called him by his full name, Yi Guohai suddenly remembered.
This Su family is Su Luo's family.
His face immediately darkened. If he had known that Liu the Fish Collector had brought him here, he would never have come.
"Brother, what's going on? Do you two know each other... or do you have a grudge?"
Liu, the fishmonger, looked at Su Chengguo with surprise, but he didn't say the words "hatred".
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li were both startled.
Su Chengguo pointed at Yi Guohai and angrily explained to Liu, the fishmonger, "This is the beast who betrayed my sister."
Fish Collector Liu suddenly realized what had happened and quickly apologized, "Brother, I was wrong to do this. I didn't know this was that heartless man. I'll make it up to you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Liu, the fish seller, turned around and pushed Yi Guohai, saying, "Go, go, go, I'm not selling anymore. Even if I had some, I wouldn't sell it to you."
Yi Guohai stared coldly at Su Chengguo and said, "Watch your words."
Su Chengguo turned around, grabbed a broom, and started hitting: "I'm watching your mother!"
His mother's blood pressure was extremely high. Before he saw Yi Guohai, he could still be rational. He could still remember that Yi Guohai was capable and that they couldn't afford to offend him. But when Yi Guohai came in front of him, all his rationality disappeared.
"My relationship with your sister was normal, and our breakup was normal. Please don't slander my reputation!" Yi Guohai explained righteously, maintaining his military demeanor and not resorting to violence against Su Chengguo.
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li also came to their senses and immediately went to stop Su Chengguo.
