Chapter 598 Wang Xiuxiu Stays Here (Happy New Year to Everyone~)
Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng didn't have to wait too long. Five minutes later, Fan Chengyao pushed the door open and told the waiter to serve the food.
"Ming Cheng, Jin Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's have a good drink tonight! What kind of wine do you want to drink? I have both domestic and imported ones!" Fan Chengyao said with a smile.
There are many rich people in Guangzhou, so this restaurant has all kinds of wine, including the red wine that foreigners like. However, Fan Chengyao personally does not like drinking wine, he prefers white wine.
Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng were not very interested in foreign liquor, so they brought two bottles of Moutai.
Moutai is now quite expensive. The ex-factory price is 80 yuan a bottle, while the market retail price is 106 yuan, and the retail price has continued to rise since then.
However, due to the great reputation of Moutai, limited production and the need to export, the market share allocated to it is not large. Coupled with problems such as logistics and transportation, it is difficult for ordinary people to buy Moutai. Even if they can buy it, it will definitely not be at this price.
If the Moutai liquor now is saved for the future, it will be worth a lot of money.
Fan Chengyao took out two bottles of Moutai liquor!
Seeing this, Xiao Jinfeng couldn't help but say, "This wine is too expensive. Let's just drink one bottle. If it's not enough, we can drink something else."
Fan Chengyao laughed and said, "Haha, speaking of expensive, the price of the Si Te wine you sell has increased a lot recently!"
Xiao Jinfeng said: "It has indeed increased a lot. The market for Si Te liquor is getting more and more popular. Although the production of the winery has increased a bit, it is still in short supply, so the price has naturally gone up. Now I only have a small amount of Si Te liquor in my shop, and I mainly sell other liquors."
The consumption capacity of the county town is limited. Before the price increase, people would always consider drinking Si Te liquor on festive occasions or when entertaining important guests. But after the price increase, most people are reluctant to drink it.
After listening to Xiao Jinfeng talk about the situation of Si Te Liquor, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh.
The entire 1990s was the golden period of the development of SiTe Liquor. It was hailed as the brother liquor of Moutai and was extremely famous.
However, nothing lasts forever. The once popular Si Te liquor actually lost its luster afterwards. Later on, only people in Jiangxi still liked to drink it, while people from other places might have never even heard of it.
Soon, the restaurant waiters brought the dishes one after another. They were all spicy dishes, perfect for drinking.
While eating, they talked about drinks, and then talked about many social situations.
After the topic came to an end, Fan Chengyao looked at Gao Mingcheng and said, "When we called before the New Year, didn't you say you were going to the capital after the New Year? I thought you wouldn't come to Guangzhou in the near future."
Gao Mingcheng said that he was planning to go with a few friends, but his friends had something going on at home, so they had to delay for a while. It happened that the clothes in the store were almost sold out, so he came here to restock first.
When Gao Mingcheng and Xiao Jinfeng went out, they each carried a big bag, which was naturally filled with cash.
But in Gao Mingcheng's bag, besides cash, there were a few other things. Some were antiques sold to him by Maozi. Because their collection value was average, he chose to sell them as soon as possible. The other thing was naturally bezoar.
During the Chinese New Year, he slaughtered the sick cow at home and obtained some bezoars as he wished. These bezoars were slightly smaller than those in the old sick cow last time, but they could still be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
If the bezoar was sold to Hong Kong, or taken to the capital to sell, the price might be even higher, but Gao Mingcheng felt that it was better to do business with a familiar person than to do business with a stranger. By selling it to Fan Chengyao, he could get the money faster and also repay Fan Chengyao a favor.
If Fan Chengyao had not tipped off the police about Du Hongyu's matter, the police would not have prepared to arrest her in advance, and several people might have died. Gao Guobing would have definitely been implicated as well.
Seeing the high-quality bezoar, Fan Chengyao was overjoyed and said, "Mingcheng is amazing. He got another bezoar! I'll buy it from you at the highest price in the market!"
He was straightforward, and Gao Mingcheng was also straightforward, smiling and saying, "Okay!"
This is how it is among acquaintances; business deals can be finalized while drinking, eating and chatting.
After eating and drinking, Gao Mingcheng said goodbye to Fan Chengyao, and then followed Xiao Jinfeng to check into a nearby hotel.
The next morning, Xiao Jinfeng was going to take a bus to the Special Administrative Region. He was not going alone. Fan Chengyao introduced him to an acquaintance who would take him there.
Gao Mingcheng went to the clothing factory he had been cooperating with and ordered a batch of the latest spring clothes.
The climate in Guangzhou is warm. Most people walking on the streets have already put on spring clothes, and clothing factories are already producing summer clothes.
So Gao Mingcheng ordered another batch of summer clothes, and when the weather gets better, he can put them up for sale.
People in the north often say that spring is short, but Gao Mingcheng feels that in places like their province, which is neither north nor south, spring is still short. Often, the weather becomes hot not long after people take off their cotton clothes.
Therefore, throughout the year, the best-selling clothes are actually summer clothes and winter clothes. As for spring and autumn clothes, some people who live a frugal life are not willing to buy them at all, thinking that it is not cost-effective to buy them, because they cannot be worn after just a few days.
Of course, people who pay attention to clothing will naturally buy clothes. After all, if you don’t buy them, what will you wear? Summer clothes are too cold, and winter clothes are too thick. You have to have clothes to wear, right?
Thanks to his keen insight into the market, Gao Mingcheng's goods have been selling very well in recent years.
He placed an order, paid, loaded the goods into the truck, and then went to the agreed place to load other goods. In this way, the whole morning passed. After lunch, Gao Mingcheng did not stay long and drove back directly.
After driving non-stop all the way, Gao Mingcheng finally returned to the county in the evening of the next day.
It happened to be a nice day with gorgeous clouds in the west in the evening, which gave everything a layer of charming halo, which was quite beautiful.
Gao Mingcheng first unloaded his freight at the clothing store, and then drove the truck back to the transportation company.
He didn't need to unload the goods on the truck, so after saying hello to Xiao Jinfeng's parents, Gao Mingcheng walked home.
Although driving is tiring, walking around is actually better as you can take the opportunity to stretch your stiff muscles.
But before he had taken a few steps, he ran into Gao Mingwan.
Gao Mingwan was walking with Wang Xiuxiu on the roadside, and Wang Xiuxiu's belly seemed to be bigger.
"Second brother, what a coincidence, we meet here." Gao Mingwan was quite happy to see Gao Mingcheng. Knowing that Gao Mingcheng had just returned the car to the transportation company, he insisted on taking Gao Mingcheng to his house for dinner.
Gao Mingcheng didn't want to go. Wang Xiuxiu was pregnant, and if he went to visit her, it would just be a waste of trouble.
"I'm not going to eat. My family has left some food for me. Mingwan, you guys take a slow walk. I'm going back first." It was getting dark, and Gao Mingcheng was growling with hunger. He prepared to go back to eat and then have a good rest.
He made a move to leave, but was stopped again.
This time Gao Mingwan went straight to the point!
"Brother, Xiuxiu is about to give birth, and mother has no time to take care of her. During the Chinese New Year, Xiuxiu's mother sprained her waist. Not only can she not take care of others, but someone else has to take care of her! I've been a little worried recently, afraid that she will suddenly give birth when I go out to drive!"
Gao Mingwan's job is a driver, and a long-distance driver at that!
This sports car takes several days to go back and forth!
If something happens on the road or the car breaks down, we will have to delay for a few more days.
Therefore, if Wang Xiuxiu launched the attack, there would most likely be no one around her!
Every woman has a day for pregnancy, but everyone’s situation is different. Some give birth early, some don’t, and there are many who delay for more than half a month.
It was impossible for Gao Mingwan to take such a long leave and stay at home with Wang Xiuxiu.
Therefore, Gao Mingwan thought of two solutions. One was to ask Hu Yinchen to live in his house in advance and accompany Wang Xiuxiu day and night. The other was to let Wang Xiuxiu temporarily move to the clothing store.
Because he knew that there were two empty rooms on the second floor of the clothing store!
Gao Mingwan said enthusiastically: "Second brother, I would rather let Xiuxiu live with you. There are Mingli and his wife, and Shufang there. It would be nice for us to talk together. Second brother, don't worry, I will never take advantage of you. I will pay for the room and food!"
Gao Mingcheng laughed, glanced at Wang Xiuxiu's bulging belly, and then said, "Forget about the room fee, just pay for the meal."
Even if I didn't take Gao Mingwan's money at all, I'm afraid Gao Mingwan would still feel uneasy, after all, he is not without money.
"Well, that's good! Second brother, I will send Xiuxiu over tomorrow, how about that?" Gao Ming was overjoyed when he heard his second brother agreed.
Even Wang Xiuxiu had a smile on her face.
The closer she got to giving birth, the more scared she became.
During the Chinese New Year, it was originally planned that her mother would come to the county to take care of her for a while, but her mother sprained her waist and could not come.
"Okay, I'll pick you up on my tractor tomorrow morning," said Gao Mingcheng.
If Wang Xiuxiu wants to come and live here, she will definitely not come empty-handed. She will definitely bring a lot of things with her.
"Well, thank you, brother."
Gao Mingwan was very happy. Seeing Gao Mingcheng was leaving, he waved goodbye and said to Wang Xiuxiu, "My second sister-in-law is easy to get along with. Shufang will also take care of you. You can just stay there and wait until the baby is born, then go back home to recuperate."
Wang Xiuxiu smiled and said, "Okay."
On this side, after Gao Mingcheng returned to the clothing store, he ate three big bowls of food happily, and then told others that Wang Xiuxiu was coming to stay temporarily.
Gao Mingcheng said to Xuanyuemei, "It's not easy for their family to get by without help. Let's clean up the middle room for them to live in. Also, I'm going to the capital, and it will take at least a month to go back and forth. You and Xiaoxuxu can live here too."
Although the new house is spacious and beautiful, it is not very convenient for a woman to live in it with a child.
Xuan Xuanmei nodded, she thought so too.
Gao Shufang said: "I'll go clean it up now!"
Although it is called cleaning, the room is actually quite clean. Just mop the floor and wipe the furniture and it's done.
As for bedding, Wang Xiuxiu might bring her own.
The next morning, Gao Mingcheng really drove a tractor to pick up Wang Xiuxiu, and the truck bed was indeed full of Wang Xiuxiu's personal belongings.
In addition, there is a bag of maternity bags, which contain bottles, milk powder, diapers, small clothes, swaddling clothes, etc. This is to prepare for the birth so that there will be something to use.
After sending the people here, Gao Mingwan felt a lot more relieved. He was also quite a nice person and gave a gift to everyone, even Hu Yinchen.
What he delivered was dim sum, but it was dim sum from other places and the taste was different from the local ones.
The stuff is not expensive, but it is tasty.
Gao Mingcheng wanted to invite Gao Mingwan to have lunch here, but Gao Mingwan refused. He said, "I have to drive my car later, so I won't eat here."
Having said that, he said goodbye to everyone and left in a hurry.
Wang Xiuxiu watched her husband leave, but she was not anxious at all. With the help of Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling, she cleaned up the room.
Just like that, the small clothing store had another resident.
Just when everyone thought that Wang Xiuxiu was about to give birth, they didn't expect that she had been living here until Gao Mingcheng returned home from the capital, when she went into labor.
Of course, this is a later story.
Gao Mingcheng went to Yangcheng to purchase goods, and the round trip took only four days. A common cold would heal within seven days. Perhaps Deng Wanwan's stepson would have recovered by now.
But he was not in a hurry to visit, otherwise it would give people a feeling of being urged.
After he had some free time, Gao Mingcheng went to the police station. He saw Huang Dazhi busy processing some information, so he went over to take a look.
Huang Dazhi looked up and saw that it was him, so he grinned.
"Ming Cheng, I just came back from Yongqiao Labor Camp! I've told Shi Lao San all those things, and he actually believed them! He told me some things about Du Hongyu, and I'm going to sort out the information and hand it over to Director Gao!"
After Shi Laosan was arrested, he kept wondering who wanted to harm him.
Fatty Liu is definitely not the mastermind, because he has no channels for counterfeit goods! During the days in prison, Shi Laosan has been wondering which enemy harmed him.
But when Huang Dazhi came to visit him with ill intentions, he found out that the person who harmed him was actually Du Hongyu, his childhood sweetheart!
The reason was simply because he refused to go abroad with Du Hongyu, so Du Hongyu wanted to destroy him!
When he heard the news, Shi Laosan looked as pale as death, because he knew that Du Hongyu was really capable of doing such a thing!
Even though Du Hongyu is a woman, she is indeed more ruthless than him.
He robbed tombs not for the sake of making money, but to satisfy his sense of accomplishment!
Being able to find an ancient tomb is a skill, and being able to obtain precious treasures from an ancient tomb is even more of a skill!
That is why, even though he knew that life abroad was better, he still did not want to go abroad.
Even if he lived a stable life and made money after going abroad, so what? How many years of history did the United States have? How many ancient tombs could he dig?
For this reason, Shi Laosan refused to go abroad with Du Hongyu, but he didn't expect that Du Hongyu would destroy him because of this!
Thinking that because of Du Hongyu, he lost a brother and he and his second uncle were thrown into prison, Shi Laosan's eyes gradually turned red.
So under Huang Dazhi's guidance, although he knew the police's plan, he still betrayed Du Hongyu and confessed some of Du Hongyu's crimes.
After that, as long as the case is investigated and evidence is found, and Du Hongyu is arrested, Du Hongyu will end up like him!
Want to harm me? Humph!
Shi Laosan thought angrily, and expected Du Hongyu to appear in this labor camp!
