Feng Jiunian didn't expect him to agree so readily; this meant he wanted to cooperate.
"Brother, these next few days are going to be tough. How about the end of the month? I have a lot of things to do here too." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
After all, they're in business; who wouldn't want to make money?
A fool wouldn't take the money!
This statement is always true.
Xu Xiangyang understood that it was quite remarkable for someone like him to be able to find the time to travel so far to Xincheng.
"Okay, Brother Feng, what kind of thing do you want? I'll get it ready." He asked.
What do you want?
Feng Jiunian was taken aback when he heard this. In all these years, this was the first time anyone had asked him this question.
Usually, people ask him if he accepts anything, but no one ever asks him what he needs.
He became interested and asked with a smile, "Brother, that's a good question. I need meat, any kind, dried, cured, or fresh. I also need nutritional supplements."
Feng Jiunian didn't believe he could get his hands on this thing! Even if he could, he'd have to see how much stuff there was, right?
Don't make him go all the way to get a chicken; it wouldn't even cover the travel expenses.
Upon hearing his answer, Xu Xiangyang thought this was actually quite a good idea. Big cities are indeed big cities; the needs are completely different.
Food is still scarce here, and the demand for meat is not great. After all, people can't even fill their stomachs, let alone eat meat.
Big cities need meat and nutritional supplements, and these products are in short supply.
Although the supply is mainly focused on the big cities, it is inevitable that the supply will be insufficient, and some people do not even have enough to eat in a month.
Some families have more than ten members, while families with six or seven members are also common.
If meat and other non-staple foods are unavailable for a month, who wouldn't crave them?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xiangyang felt he should prepare some more. There were plenty of handsome young men in the space, and judging from Feng Jiunian's words, he wanted to buy more.
If he had enough money, he would definitely earn as much as he could.
Xu Xiangyang had no intention of having any further contact with Feng Jiunian. The last time they met, he was disguised and used a fake name, so he didn't believe Feng could find him.
The two agreed to meet at the end of the month, and then they would talk on the phone again.
Back at his workplace, Xu Xiangyang had just reached the main gate when he saw a familiar figure hiding not far away.
He was somewhat surprised and quickly walked over.
"Dad? What brings you here?"
Looking at Xu Guangtian in front of him, he felt very surprised, not expecting this person to come.
It's not a problem, but the furthest my family members have ever been is to the town. This is probably their first time in the city.
Xu Guangtian almost burst into tears when he saw his son. The city was so big; he had almost gotten lost.
If he hadn't found the police officer, he wouldn't have known how to contact the grain bureau.
"Dog Egg, this is huge! It was such a hassle to find you," he said, still shaken.
Xu Xiangyang was speechless for a moment, then frowned and said, "Dad, this is the city. Can you please stop calling me Gou Dan? Isn't Xiangyang nice enough?"
He said he was used to the name, but people have pride and trees have bark. How awful it would sound for a handsome young man to be called "Dog Egg"?
If others heard this, wouldn't they laugh at him to death?
Xu Guangtian then realized, "That's right, people in the city are definitely particular about these things, so I can't call him Gou Dan anymore."
"Okay, okay, Xiangyang." He quickly nodded in agreement.
Xu Xiangyang led him to a bench nearby and asked, "Why did you decide to come back? I was thinking of going back to see you guys at the end of the month."
He usually goes back at the end of the month, just like last time.
Xu Guangtian sighed and said, "Your mother is worried about you and insisted that I come and check on you. There's not much work to do at home right now, so I thought it would be good for me to come and see you."
It's not spring planting season yet; once this period is over, even if you want to come, you won't be able to.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll take you out to get something to eat."
It's past noon, and judging from Xu Guangtian's expression, he definitely doesn't have the money to go to a restaurant.
Xu Guangtian scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled twice.
He brought two pancakes with him in the morning, but he was tired and hungry from walking all the way, so he ate them around 10 a.m.
It's almost one o'clock now, how can I not be hungry?
At this time of year, there's no oil or fat in the food, so two flatbreads are completely useless.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at the time and said to him, "You wait here, I'll ask for leave and take you out to eat."
After saying that, he didn't wait for Xu Guangtian's reaction and quickly walked away.
Xu Guangtian stood there, stunned. He had just seen the watch on Xu Xiangyang's wrist.
He had only heard of this before, but had never seen it.
My son's gotten so impressive lately! He's even wearing a watch now?
I heard that one costs over a hundred!
Good heavens, Xu Xiangyang had never seen a hundred-yuan bill in his life, yet he was wearing more than a hundred yuan on his wrist.
He was shocked, but also proud. His son was amazing!
Now I'll have something to brag about when I get back.
No, that's true. Wouldn't that make those rough guys in the countryside green with envy?
Whose son could be as successful as his? Even the team leader's son isn't good enough; they don't even own a watch!
Xu Xiangyang had no idea what he was thinking, but when he returned, he saw Xu Guangtian with a sly grin on his face. He couldn't help but get goosebumps. What was he doing?
When Xu Guangtian saw him return, he smiled and said, "You're back. Actually, I didn't need to ask for leave; I just came to see you."
Xu Xiangyang waved his hand, "It's okay, I don't have anything to do right now, let's go."
He took Xu Guangtian to a nearby state-run restaurant, which he had eaten at before and found to be quite delicious.
"Comrade, one serving of braised pork, one serving of stewed pork ribs with potatoes, and ten steamed buns."
This is today's supply. Xu Xiangyang wasn't stingy; after all, his father was here, and he had to make sure he ate and drank well.
Having paid for the tickets, Xu Xiangyang was now completely out of meat tickets. It seemed he would have to find a way to get some more.
Back in his seat, Xu Guangtian sat there waiting, feeling a little uneasy as he watched the others eat.
His clothes were covered in patches, and someone had been watching him ever since he entered the room.
Xu Xiangyang noticed his expression and then said, "Why are you so nervous? After dinner, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, and also bring some back for my mother."
Actually, he brought back a large piece of fabric last time, but I didn't see Xu Guangtian wearing new clothes. I guess he didn't want to make new clothes with it.
"No need, we have everything we need at home," Xu Guangtian quickly refused.
Before he came, Wang Xiumin had told him not to let his son spend money recklessly.
He came here to buy Wang Xiumin a tub of malted milk powder, as he had heard it was nutritious, but it wasn't available in town.
Unfortunately, when he arrived, he found out that malted milk powder also required a ticket, and he didn't have one. So he had no choice but to give up buying it.
Xu Guangtian didn't want to put his son in a difficult position, so he didn't plan to bring it up. He would just buy something else to make do when he got back.
