When everyone was gathered, the meal began. Wan Feng opened the bottle of wine and poured it for Yan Shihui.
"I have to work in the afternoon and can't drink." Yan Huishi started to act pretentiously.
"Your factory doesn't allow employees to drink alcohol at noon?"
"This is not Sakura"
"That's fine. Drink less. Just one cup, only two taels." The wine was poured, and he and Lao Xia each had a cup.
Wan Feng doesn't drink, and Xia Qiulong doesn't dare to drink with his father around. He can only hold the soda and pretend to be jealous.
Wan Feng raised his glass and said, "Dad Xia, Uncle Yan, come on, as a junior, I'll offer you a toast with soda instead of wine."
"Oh, one cup is not enough. You can't just open it right away. It has to be half open!" Yan Shihui quickly stopped him.
Lao Xia and Yan Shihui opened the bottles halfway, and Wan Feng took a sip. To be honest, the soda was just so-so, and he really couldn't enjoy it. It was far less enjoyable than drinking cold water.
Then the two sides started drinking, eating and chatting, and the atmosphere was quite lively as they ate and talked.
The main purpose of Wan Feng's meal was to improve his relationship with Yan Shihui. Since this guy controlled the pricing and transaction rights, there was no reason for Wan Feng not to have a good relationship with him.
Therefore, at the banquet, Wan Feng used his eloquent tongue to come up with many stories that were very novel to them.
While making everyone at the table laugh, the barriers between them gradually disappeared.
At the dinner table, Yan Huishi also learned about the relationship between Wan Feng and Xia Qiulong's family, and the relationship between the two sides suddenly became much closer.
"Uncle Yan, I'm going to bring back a batch of goods this afternoon. Is that okay with you?" After the preliminary preparations, it's time to get down to business.
Yan Huishi drank a little too much, his face flushed. He waved his hand and said, "No problem, come find Uncle Yan when you pick up the goods this afternoon."
"Old Yan, Wan Feng is my godson. You please take care of him when the time comes." Old man Xia also spoke.
"Brother Xia, don't worry, I'll take care of it."
The meal lasted until about 12:30, and after eating and drinking, the group left the restaurant.
Lao Xia and Yan Shihui went back to work, while Wan Feng and Xia Qiulong walked towards the Second Department Store.
Even if he was transporting goods, he had to wait for Yang Hong's tractor to come back empty before he could take them back.
Yang Hong went home for lunch, and while he was eating, the people from the brick factory would load up the tractor.
It was probably around 12 o'clock when Yang Hong finished his meal. It was now half past 12, and the tractor was still running on the road leading to the county town.
By the time he ran to the construction site to unload the bricks and then ran to the textile printing and dyeing factory, it would have been around 2:30.
He wants to take advantage of this free time to go to the Second Department Store to buy some things.
When the two of them arrived at the Second Department Store, it was just the store's opening time. Because it had just opened, the store was empty.
Wan Feng came to the clothing, shoes and hats group and looked at the ready-made clothes, especially the clothes for children.
The styles of clothes in this era are too simple, but the clothes the children wear are still okay. Although the patterns and colors are a bit simple, at least they give people some room for choice.
Wan Feng picked out a cyan dress with a white chest patch. The shoulders and hem of the dress had white edges. This was considered the most fashionable children's clothing in the mall.
"You have a younger sister?" Xia Qiulong asked when he saw Wan Feng bought a set of clothes for girls.
"She was originally my future daughter-in-law, but now she's become my younger sister." Wan Feng answered with a slightly helpless tone.
The daughter-in-law became a younger sister? Xia Qiulong was confused. What kind of logic was this?
Now that he had summer clothes, Wan Feng bought a pink cotton-padded jacket with a white artificial fur collar. In order to wear it for two more years, Wan Feng even bought the largest size.
Of course, if you have clothes, you need pants. Wan Feng bought another pair of black khaki pants.
The skirt is for summer wear, and this suit is for winter wear.
The girl hasn't worn new clothes for several years, so she must wear a new set of clothes for the New Year this year.
Wan Feng had already made up his mind. He would go back and ask Luan Feng to tie two red stripes on the unremarkable black pants to ensure that the girl would have a happy New Year.
Originally, Wan Feng could have made her a set of clothes with cloth, but then he thought about how the cloth he was going to buy was all defective, and he felt bad about using that kind of cloth to make clothes for a girl.
These two sets of clothes cost Wan Feng ten yuan and more than ten feet of cloth coupons.
After buying the girl's clothes, Wan Feng bought two pairs of sweaters that could be used to make counterfeit sportswear, which were prepared for the two female gunmen.
After buying clothes, Wan Feng and Xia Qiulong went to the textile printing and dyeing factory.
"I didn't expect you to be so generous. Tell me your story."
"You really want to listen?"
"certainly!"
Wan Feng told the story of him and Xu Meilin half-truthfully, which left Xia Qiulong stunned.
"And then?"
"Later, a big fool believed it."
Xia Qiulong was still wondering, but after hearing this he realized that Wan Feng was teasing him.
The two of them found Yan Huili at the textile printing and dyeing factory and entered the warehouse.
It was now 1:40, and he had to pick the cloth before Yang Hong arrived.
Wan Feng took fifty minutes to pick out eight pieces of cloth. With Xia Qiulong's help, he naturally picked out the ones with the best quality.
Although these cloths are rolled into bundles, their length is not the same as a piece of cloth. Some are long and some are short.
Measuring the dimensions took quite a while.
The two boxes of cigarettes and the meal were not wasted. Yan Shihui charged the lowest price for five of the eight pieces of cloth, and the other three pieces were priced at 9 cents per foot and 1 mao per foot respectively.
This is mainly to make it look less ugly. If the price is set at 80%, the appearance of eating will be too ugly.
As for the length of each piece of cloth, Wan Feng knew it well. He got some bargains on each piece of cloth. In total, he got at least four or five meters of bargains on the eight pieces of cloth.
Four or five meters is fourteen or fifteen feet, which can make three pieces of clothing.
This was his first time taking goods, so he couldn't go too far and didn't dare take more.
These eight pieces of cloth were quite heavy, and Xia Qiulong worked himself to the bone in a sweat before pushing them to the factory gate using the factory cart.
Because of Xia Qiulong's presence, the person guarding the factory gate just glanced at the cloth on the cart, took the pass and went back inside.
A piece of cloth was an average of seventy to eighty feet long, and eight pieces of cloth were exactly about six hundred feet long. These cloths cost Wan Feng fifty yuan and half of the cloth coupons he had.
At 2:40 in the afternoon, Yang Hong's tractor arrived at the entrance of the textile printing and dyeing factory. After loading the cloth onto the tractor, he waved goodbye to Xia Qiulong.
At about 3:30, the car returned to Jiangwei. The loaders on the tractor at the door of Luan Feng's house helped carry the cloth into the room where Luan Feng lived and piled it on the kang.
Luan Feng has three sisters and brothers. Her brother got married and moved out, and her eldest sister got married last year. Now she is the only one left at home, so she occupies half of the five rooms in her family, which has enough space to store the cloth.
