Chapter 308 I have never hated a man so much
After a while, he took out an account book.
The two of them tilted their heads and leaned over. There were many names and numbers written on it.
The number of acres of land a family has, the amount they have settled on, and the amount remaining are all recorded clearly.
It's obvious that he is an official in the village.
He looked through the account book page by page. For some growers, they placed their orders in one go, while others placed their orders in three installments. However, the last installment must have been made on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.
He carefully looked through the account books but couldn't find any leftovers.
He closed the account book with a look of regret.
"Alas... We also have two spice factories here, and there really is nothing left. I'm afraid your trip must have been in vain..."
Liang Xiulan smacked her lips and shook her head regretfully, but she still wanted to thank the other party for the hospitality.
He stood up, drank the tea in the cup, and thanked him repeatedly.
Before leaving, the uncle reminded me: "Come again in mid-September."
"The Sichuan peppercorns are harvested at the end of August, and the star anise at the beginning of October. You can come during this period to see if anyone has a one-time order. You can then wait until they have finished harvesting, pick up a bargain, and check out the quality of the goods."
"Okay, okay, thank you, uncle..."
The two thanked him again and left.
I walked around the village and saw the fruits hung out to dry in each household. Each one was plump and of excellent quality.
I saw someone basking in the sun at the door, and chatted with him for a while, and asked him if there were any leftover peppercorns and star anise at home.
They all waved their hands and said they had no more.
The two could only leave with regret.
Returning to the place where they got off, the two chatted while waiting for the bus.
As we chatted, it was already past twelve o'clock.
Liang Xiulan was hungry, rubbing her stomach and asked, "Will there be food where we're going?"
Qi Shuanghua shook his head. "I don't know either. I've never been there. What's the matter? Are you hungry?"
Liang Xiulan nodded: "A little bit."
"So what do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine, as long as it fills my stomach."
Qi Shuanghua joked: "You are easy to feed and you are not picky about food."
There was a hint of ambiguity in his tone and eyes, which made Liang Xiulan reluctant to respond.
Qi Shuanghua made small talk and approached Liang Xiulan with the itinerary he had made.
"Well, the next place is Wangqiao. We have to take the bus to the bus station first, and then transfer to Wangqiao."
Liang Xiulan felt tired when she heard that she had to change cars. If she had known earlier, she would have driven Hu Dabiao's car.
You can get wherever you want to go with just one step on the accelerator without having to go around in circles.
As the two were discussing, a car arrived.
Qi Shuanghua quickly put the paper away and put it in his pocket, while holding Liang Xiulan's arm with his other hand.
He wanted to hold her hand, but when he remembered what Liang Xiulan said to him when they got off the car, he felt that he should be more tactful.
Take it step by step, otherwise she will get annoyed.
When they were on the bus halfway, their seats were not next to each other.
Liang Xiulan found a seat and sat down at random, but Qi Shuanghua felt a little restless.
He looked towards Liang Xiulan's position. There was a man sleeping next to her.
It might be impolite to wake someone up to change seats.
But he was worried that Liang Xiulan would fall asleep and accidentally get into someone else's arms.
He kept his eyes on Liang Xiulan's position, calling her to chat from time to time and asking her what she wanted to eat later.
"Would you like to eat Roujiamo? I heard that Wangqiao's Roujiamo is very famous."
"I'm fine with either."
"Roujiamo with noodles?"
"Oh, stop talking. The more you talk, the hungrier I get."
"Hehe... pull up your clothes, it's time to mop the floor."
Liang Xiulan looked down and saw that her coat was indeed about to touch the ground, so she reached out to lift it up.
He always found various topics to talk to Liang Xiulan, and the two of them talked and laughed. If you didn't know them, you would think they were a couple.
After a while, the car arrived at the halfway station. The person in front of Qi Shuanghua got off the car, and Qi Shuanghua hurried to the front.
Standing beside the seat, he beckoned to Liang Xiulan: "Come, come, sit here."
Liang Xiulan was suspicious: "It's pretty good here."
"Hey, let's sit together so we can talk, otherwise I'll have to tilt my head later."
This excuse was absolutely terrible. Liang Xiulan's neck really hurt from twisting it just now.
So he got up and walked over.
She still sat by the window, and Qi Shuanghua sat outside.
As soon as he sat down, Qi Shuanghua asked, "Are you still sleepy?"
Liang Xiulan shook her head: "I'm not sleepy, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. If you feel sleepy, tell me and I'll give you a scarf to wear."
"No, I'm not sleepy right now."
Since he wasn't sleepy, he continued chatting with her.
It seems like he has endless things to say, and there are always various topics to discuss with him.
What do you like to eat, what clothes do you like to wear, what interesting things happened when you were in school, and what scenery you saw along the way.
Liang Xiulan was getting a little annoyed with him as they chatted, so she closed her eyes and said, "I'll sleep a little longer. Call me when you get there."
"Oh, okay!"
After a while, her head was gently lifted up again.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qi Shuanghua had already folded the scarf and was supporting her head.
They were still in that half-hug position, and their faces were very close.
Liang Xiulan frowned. Qi Shuanghua saw her expression and explained with a smile, "I was worried that you might bump your head again."
Liang Xiulan pushed his shoulder and said, "I can do it myself."
"OK!"
Qi Shuanghua chuckled twice, sat down and said nothing more.
It didn't take long to reach the terminal.
This time, in order to prevent Liang Xiulan from hitting her head again, he blocked it on her head in advance.
Liang Xiulan learned her lesson this time and bent forward to explore before standing up.
After returning the scarf to Qi Shuanghua, the two got off the car one after the other.
There are many small restaurants and vendors near the bus station.
Qi Shuanghua looked around and finally found a Wangqiao Roujiamo restaurant. He took Liang Xiulan's arm and walked over.
"Want to eat?"
Liang Xiulan pulled her hand back: "Anything is fine."
"Two roujiamo and two bowls of noodles." Qi Shuanghua said.
The two found a place to sit down, the boss brought roujiamo and noodles to the table, and Qi Shuanghua started eating and chatting again.
He talks a lot, so much that it's annoying. She has never hated a man so much.
In his previous life, Jiang Jinzhou was a man of few words. He would never say "hmm" twice if a single "hmm" could be used instead.
She once complained about it, asking if there was something wrong with his ears. She talked a lot, but in the end he just replied with a "hmm".
I questioned whether he was listening to me carefully.
But today, she suddenly began to understand Jiang Jinzhou.
Only after meeting the men outside did she realize that Jiang Jinzhou was a treasure.
Qi Shuanghua really talks too much and is annoying. I really don’t want to respond. Even his smile seems perfunctory.
He was talking incessantly while Liang Xiulan was eating with a spoon.
He quickly finished eating, wiped his mouth, paid the bill, and said to Qi Shuanghua, "You eat first. I'm going to the bathroom."
