Of course, Xiao Qianqian also wants to make some money, so this time he emptied the space stone platform, intending to collect specialties from outside, store them for a while, and then ship them out.

When in Yicheng, Shen Yu said that she valued money more than her life. She replied that money was everything and she would not care about money unless she lost her life. This made him laugh out of anger.

That's right, as a mortal, you have to make money and spend it, otherwise what's the fun? Through Zhang Fu, Meng Tao rented a small warehouse of about 10 square meters in a winery east of the county town for three yuan for two days. Zhang Fu was a young worker in the winery, and his uncle was the warehouse manager of the winery, so he had this convenience.

The small warehouse is located in a remote corner of the factory, near the back door. A large truck can pass through the back door, and the door can only be opened when goods are shipped in and out of the warehouse. It is usually locked and is under the management of Uncle Zhang Fu. Meng Tao said that the things sent by her relatives would not arrive until night, and it would be difficult to find someone at that time. It took a lot of effort to get the key to the back door from Uncle Zhang Fu, and it was only valid for two days.

All the goods in the Yunhai space were taken out and the small warehouse was filled up. Just looking at it gave her a sense of accomplishment. Meng Tao had bought several bundles of sacks and hemp ropes at the supply and marketing cooperative before. She basically put all the vegetables that could be bagged into bags, and also covered the bottles and jars containing kimchi, sauerkraut, pickled foods and sauces with sacks and tied them up to prevent them from being broken by the bumps on the road.

Thirty or forty plump horse-head pumpkins were too big to be put into sacks. Instead, they were taken out one by one and placed separately. Meng Tao had not eaten the top-quality pumpkins grown in the space many times because they had mutated. The fragrance when cooked was simply amazing and could be smelled throughout the yard. The educated youth all gathered around and asked to eat together. Once or twice she could make up a lie that she had accidentally encountered a very sweet and delicious pumpkin, but if it happened too many times, it would not be justifiable. So Meng Tao did not eat it herself. She would wait until next year to grow the seeds on the mountain and see what it tasted like.

There are also a dozen dried golden gourds. Once they are ready, they are delicious whether they are filled with wine or water.

Meng Tao hugged this and patted that, but she thought that if people didn't appreciate them and thought they couldn't be eaten directly, they wouldn't know how good they were, so it would be wasted. So she decided not to sell them and keep them to hang on the stone wall for beauty.

There are also two boxes of apples and pears, seventy or eighty kilograms of mushrooms, black fungus, dried bamboo shoots, and day lily stored in the space. Meng Tao planned to eat them herself, but since she lives in a collective, she really has no chance to eat them. So she simply packed up the mushrooms, black fungus and other dried goods and gave them to Shen Yu. She is still in the county town anyway, so she will go to the local product company in the regional city tomorrow to buy another batch of mushrooms, black fungus and store them.

The medicinal materials were sorted out into three bags. Meng Tao used a bamboo pole to put the fifty-year-old wild ginseng into the crevice of a rock and watered it with some pine needle dew to see if it could continue to grow.

………………(dividing line) In the evening, a medium-sized truck was parked at the cement bridge in the east of the city, and a young man in work clothes was standing next to the car.

Yang Licheng looked at the girl walking towards him. She was wearing a floral cotton jacket and a big red scarf. She looked very young. He wondered if it was her. But if it wasn't her, in such cold weather and near night, which girl would have nothing better to do than stand at the bridge outside the city and enjoy the breeze?

"Excuse me, comrade, are you waiting for someone?" The girl came up and asked Yang Licheng.

Yang Licheng nodded: "Yes, my name is Yang Licheng, you are..."

"My name is Meng Taohua."

Yang Licheng quickly smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Shen... Shen Yu asked me to come here!"

When Meng Tao heard a man in his twenties calling her sister-in-law, she couldn't help but think of the man in the melon-shaped hat in Yicheng who called her aunt. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was obviously not wearing any makeup today and was wearing bright clothes, so how could she look so old?

"I'm not married yet, you can call me by my name."

"Haha! I'll be your sister-in-law after we get married."

Yang Licheng smiled and waved to the truck behind him. Two strong young men jumped out of the truck. They stood at attention in front of Meng Tao and shouted in unison: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Meng Tao: “…”

"Yes, sister-in-law, I am indeed Yang Licheng! These two are Zheng Hui and Ke Jianguo." Yang Licheng said hurriedly.

"Sister-in-law, my name is Ke Jianguo." The taller one was a little shy.

"Sister-in-law, I'm Zheng Hui. We used to work with Shen Yu... together! Shen Yu and you are going to get married soon, we are very happy!" Zheng Hui said with a smile, obviously an active and talkative person.

Meng Tao finally understood what was going on, but she couldn't explain it clearly now, and it would be a waste of time, so she simply ignored it and said, "You can call me by my name. Calling me sister-in-law makes me feel old."

Zheng Hui: "You are so young and beautiful, not old at all, but we have to call you sister-in-law!"

Meng Tao was speechless and simply let them do as they pleased. They wouldn't be staying here for too long anyway.

Yang Licheng found out that the place where the goods were stored was two or three miles away, so he asked Meng Tao to sit in the co-pilot seat so that she could give directions. Zheng Hui and Ke Jianguo went to the rear carriage, which was covered with a canvas awning to block out the cold wind.

When they arrived at the warehouse area of ​​the winery, Meng Tao opened the small warehouse. Ke Jianguo and Zheng Hui first took down a brand new Fei Ge bicycle from the carriage, as well as two wooden boxes. No one knew what they were. Yang Licheng said that they were all given to Meng Tao by Shen Yu.

Meng Tao also knew this. When they talked on the phone at the post office in the morning, Shen Yu said that he would bring something for her. She thought it would be some snacks or something, but she didn't expect it would also be a bicycle.

This was an unexpected surprise. Meng Tao also had a bicycle ticket. She had gone to the commune supply and marketing cooperative to ask, but the salesperson said that the commune had no more bicycle quotas this year and could not transfer them. She could only wait until next year to buy one. Now Shen Yu had sent one, which solved the problem. She was tired of walking. Usually, she had to take a ox cart to go to the commune, which was extremely slow.

As for the money for the bicycle, I can pay it back later, or let Shen Yu deduct it directly from the payment for the goods.

Yang Licheng and the other two didn't say much and were busy moving things. Meng Tao saw that there was a sturdy shock-proof wooden rack in the back of the car, so they put the ceramic jars for kimchi and sauerkraut and the sauce jars on it without having to worry about them being damaged by the earthquake.

After moving their things, the three of them said goodbye to Meng Tao and left immediately.

Meng Tao said, "You haven't had dinner yet, right? The restaurant is not closed yet, go have dinner first before leaving."

Yang Licheng smiled and said, "No need. We are here for a limited time. We take turns driving and cannot stop on the way. Don't worry, we have food and water with us, so we won't starve."

After that, he asked Meng Tao if she wanted him to take her back to her residence first. Seeing that they were really in a hurry and not wanting to delay them, Meng Tao said no, she would just stay in the factory, which was not far away.

Meng Tao gave Yang Licheng a letter and asked him to pass it to Shen Yu. Inside the letter was a list of the goods.

After the car drove away, I put the two wooden crates into the space, locked the small warehouse and the back door of the winery, and rode my bike back to the city. All the way around here were villages and family houses of the winery. There was also a paper mill under construction. There were two bonfires on the construction site, so it wasn't too deserted. The new bike was light and labor-saving, and it ran very fast on the road. It took about twenty minutes to reach the city.
