Chapter 165 I haven't had malted milk for several months.



"Yes." Ruan Niannian nodded, "Get the rest for me as soon as possible. The mooncakes can come later. Your brother-in-law should be able to order from you soon."

Zheng Chenggong narrowed his eyes, and his eyeballs turned around where Ruan Niannian couldn't see. He had an idea in his mind, "Okay, okay, Sister Niannian, we are not related, the price and quantity are easy to negotiate."

From this little appearance, you can tell at first glance that he has the conditions.

"What's your price?" Ruan Niannian asked directly. Without waiting for Zheng Chenggong's answer, she played with her fingers and said, "Oh, I was thinking of taking you with me to my sister-in-law's house for a reunion dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival. If this price..."

Zheng Chenggong immediately clapped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Sister Nian Nian, what are you talking about? What's the relationship between us? We are almost the same mother, how can I accept your money? Don't worry, I can't be short of what you want. Wait, except for the mooncakes, everything else will be in place for you today! The same goes for my brother-in-law!"

This brat is really flexible just for his stuttering.

She didn't want to take advantage of the kid, so she shook her head and said, "Is my sister the kind of person who would let you suffer a loss? Your brother-in-law and I will pay for what we should pay, but I hope you will give me a friendly price for the sake of our friendship."

The flour that Ruan Niannian's shop usually needs is now obtained from Zheng Chenggong. Even if he makes some money, the price is lower than what Pei Yuanzheng got before.

What Ruan Niannian meant was that the amount of welfare given out at one time was large, so she hoped that he could give it a lower price. She didn't mean to make him a sucker and give it away for free.

"Oh, so that's it, hehe." Zheng Chenggong scratched his head, "That's what I said, Sister Nian Nian, you and my brother-in-law must not be that kind of people."

"What kind of person is he?" Pei Yuanzheng's voice comes before the person arrives. His voice is always so recognizable.

Ruan Niannian turned around and saw him walking towards her. She smiled at him and said, "You're here."

"Well, I saw you coming over here, so I followed you to take a look. Is this the Mid-Autumn Festival thing that Chenggong and I decided on?" Pei Yuanzheng held Ruan Niannian's hand in front of Zheng Chenggong.

He wants to assert his sovereignty all the time. Don't forget that even Pei Jianhui is coveting his wife. Although Zheng Chenggong is not very good-looking, he is young and close in age to Ruan Niannian. His family has capital, so he has to be on guard against him.

Zheng Chenggong's eyes rolled around, and he immediately spoke with a twinkle in his eyes, "Sister Nian Nian, then we have a deal."

Seeing Pei Yuanzheng's puzzled expression, Ruan Niannian laughed out loud, "Speak nicely, do you still want to come home with me for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Hehe, of course I did. Um, brother-in-law, you didn't bring the order form? Then give it to me later. I will definitely give you the lowest price." Zheng Chenggong smiled naively.

Beneath his honest appearance, he is a cunning businessman. Just for the sake of food, he completely sells out his cunning business heart.

Having achieved their goal, Ruan Niannian did not stay long. She waved to Zheng Chenggong and left the place with Pei Yuanzheng.

When she left, she told Pei Yuanzheng about her conversation with Zheng Chenggong and said, "He seems to have lost weight recently."

"Where did he lose weight?" Pei Yuanzheng frowned and retorted, "He was originally about this size. He was fattened by sister-in-law and lost weight again. Brother did the right thing. He can't get any fatter."

Ruan Niannian glanced at him, describing jealousy and pettiness in such a high-sounding way.

But she didn't expose him. Instead, she said, "Are you busy at the market? If not, why don't we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look? Isn't it the new goods from yesterday? Let me see if there is anything we need."

"No rush, I'll go with you." Pei Yuanzheng said quickly.

It has been a long time since he accompanied Ruan Niannian to relax.

There are very few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, perhaps because of the impact of the two venues. If they come here every day, they will find that the flow of people in the supply and marketing cooperative is really getting smaller and smaller.

There is no doubt that private enterprises will have an impact on state-owned enterprises.

As soon as the venue opened, all kinds of talented people gathered here. Did they want to sell anything? However, some things were indeed more convenient to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative.

The commune supply and marketing cooperative was deserted without any customers. The sales clerks at the counter either huddled together to eat melon seeds and chat about gossip, or sat behind the counter knitting sweaters in broad daylight.

For them, the fewer people there are in the supply and marketing cooperative, the better. They are just laborers anyway, and even if they don't sell anything in a day, they still have to be paid.

And the benefits are not bad.

Ruan Niannian walked to the counter that used to sell malted milk and asked curiously, "Hello, comrade, didn't you just count the goods yesterday? Don't you have malted milk?"

The salesperson glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Comrade, you haven't been to the supply and marketing cooperative for a long time, right? I haven't bought any malted milk in a few months. There's none in the county town, let alone in our small commune."

I see. It looks like there are signs of chaos brewing.

When people are still around, everything changes secretly; once they leave, many things become open and aboveboard.

Ruan Niannian didn't care about her attitude and turned to the canned food counter, "Hello, comrade, do you have any canned food? I don't see many on display."

"Hello, comrade, we do have canned food." The saleswoman's attitude was a little better than before. She had nothing else to do anyway, so she introduced the canned food to Ruan Niannian. "But there aren't many canned foods left. We haven't sold canned meat in the past few months. We only have canned fruit. Canned fruit is sweet and has fruit pulp in it. It's nutritious and gives people face when they give it as a gift."

Although she said there were canned fruits, judging by the situation on the counter, there weren't many left.

Ruan Niannian suddenly felt a little greedy, "How much is left? Comrade, can you please help me count them? I want all the remaining ones."

"You want all of them?" The salesperson was stunned for a moment, then said, "The warehouse should still have some, comrade, are you sure you want all of them?"

"Then leave some for others. See how much there is. We'll prepare it as gifts for relatives." Ruan Niannian said readily.

She knew that if she didn't give in, the supply and marketing cooperative would not let her buy everything.

The salesperson slowly reacted and quickly said, "Okay, okay, comrade, I'll go take inventory. How are you going to take it away?"

"My friend will come over in a tricycle soon. Comrade, you can just help take inventory." Pei Yuanzheng, who had been silent, suddenly said.

The salesperson didn't waste any more time and went to the warehouse to take inventory of the cans.

Ruan Niannian was particularly touched. Pei Yuanzheng was always like this, silently remembering her habits and preferences in his heart, and silently checking for omissions when she had not considered them.

Pei Yuanzheng reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head. "Wife, what are you daydreaming about? Aren't you supposed to prepare things for visiting relatives? These cans of food are probably not enough, right?"
