The first truck was packed full of equipment, but the second truck was added at the last minute because there was too much stuff to fit on one truck. Less than half of the space on top was occupied by old equipment that Mo Yuan had picked out, which was quickly moved out by the villagers.
However, what was left left everyone dumbfounded. None of them had ever seen anything like it before; a neatly arranged pile of grain came into view.
These were all uniformly distributed by the coal mine, and they were all labeled with words: rice, flour, and even half a pig! For Xiaomozhuang, which had not yet solved its basic needs for food and clothing, this visual impact was simply too great.
In contrast, the older, more valuable equipment is completely unknown and unrecognizable to most people.
But the neatly arranged bags in front of them felt like a heavy hammer blow to their heads, making their brains buzz. They stood there dumbfounded, completely at a loss.
In fact, not only the villagers, but even Mo Yuan himself was astonished by what he saw, looking at Zhou Yongli with a face full of doubt. He truly hadn't expected so many supplies, especially in this way. What on earth was going on?
Now that they had finally arrived, Zhou Yongli stopped hiding anything. Seeing Mo Yuan looking at him with a puzzled expression, he immediately explained, "Brother Mo Yuan, this is a small token of our appreciation from the coal mine. Mine Manager Fan Dacheng specifically instructed us to give it to you, fearing you might be too polite and refuse to accept it. That's why we kept it from you. If it weren't for you, who knows what serious trouble might have happened! Please don't be shy, accept it!"
What could Mo Yuan say? He was already at his doorstep; he couldn't very well let someone take his things back—that would definitely offend people. Mo Yuan wanted to continue dealing with them in the future, so naturally he wouldn't do such a thing.
"Brother Zhou, thank you so much! Please convey my gratitude to Mine Manager Fan when you get back! I'll remember your kindness!"
Mo Youshan wasn't stupid either. Seeing everyone's envious looks, he didn't want to be too conspicuous!
He figured out what was going on, so he quietly left, intending to get a handcart and call a few family members to help him move everything home as quickly as possible. After all, so much stuff piled up here was too conspicuous; it would be safer to get it home first.
Upon hearing Zhou Yongli's words, the villagers around him looked at Mo Yuan with even more complicated expressions. Goodness, even the accountant at Liangkou Coal Mine was so polite to him, and the mine manager had even specially sent so many gifts. It seems this Mo Yuan really is a very capable person!
Soon Mo Youshan returned with two men. Without any ceremony, he loaded all the rice and flour onto the cart, placed half a pork on top, and headed home without stopping!
Mo Yuan specifically instructed that the pork should be rinsed and soaked in cold water first, and then stewed all of it at noon to properly entertain Zhou Yongli.
After all, this was the first time the other person had come to our home, and they had received a lot of care from him these past few days, so we should treat them well.
Moreover, the weather is so hot, and without a refrigerator, it will spoil if not handled properly!
Mo Yuan didn't want to waste money like that, otherwise his parents would be heartbroken! Soon after finishing up here, Mo Yuan called Mo Youxian to accompany him, preparing to treat Zhou Yongli to a good lunch. Zhou Yongli didn't refuse and called two drivers to accompany Mo Yuan home!
He had already witnessed Mo Yuan's culinary skills; he had previously praised Mo Yuan's braised noodles to the skies.
When Mo Yuan offered to cook lunch for him, Zhou Yongli was naturally flattered and full of anticipation!
"Then I won't stand on ceremony, brother. I'm going to have a good taste of your cooking today. I was so busy at the mine before that the ingredients were limited. Half a pig was enough to feed hundreds of people. Today, I'm going to have a good feast!"
