At this time, a large amount of smuggled goods began to appear in the coastal areas of the south and were sold to the mainland through the black market. Many daring people engaged in speculation and profiteering, and gradually became successful and made a lot of money by selling smuggled goods.
This is indeed a shortcut. As long as you are careful enough, even if you start with a small business, after accumulating for two or three years, becoming rich is not a dream.
Meng Tao thought about it and couldn't help but go to Guang City in the south to try her luck. The key point was that now she had more space and could carry a lot of goods, satisfy her addiction to being a trader, and also travel and make money.
What a good idea.
So Tian Zhigao is going to take this shortcut and send his brother to explore the way?
Meng Tao sneered: Go ahead, I just want to see how they operate.
But making money under her nose is impossible and not allowed!
Meng Tao talked to Zhang Fu for a few more words, greeted Zhang's father and mother, and then hung up the phone.
As soon as she put down the receiver, the phone rang again. Meng Tao picked it up and blurted out, "Hello, Director Shen."
Director Shen laughed: "This girl, what Director Shen? I am your father, you should call me dad."
Meng Tao: “…”
You haven't even paid me to change my statement, so I can't shout it out.
Director Shen did not deliberately make things difficult for his daughter-in-law. He asked her why the phone at home was always busy just now and whether someone called.
Meng Tao replied that she had been fighting outside the whole time.
Director Shen said, "It's time for lunch. Do you want to go to the cafeteria? There are meal tickets at home. They are in the drawer of the cabinet under the wall clock in the living room. If you are afraid of the heat and don't want to go out, Dad will have someone send them home."
Meng Tao said quickly: "I can just make something to eat myself."
"Okay, then you do it yourself. Remember to eat. Don't be like Shen Yu, who is lazy and doesn't eat when he's alone at home."
"Got it. Thank you... Dad."
Meng Tao stuck out her tongue and shouted it out, this time there was really no money left to change her words.
Never mind. People don’t care so much about this these days.
After hanging up the phone, the sound of an iron gate opening was heard outside. Meng Tao stood up and saw Shen Yu walking in carrying a wicker basket.
It's so magical that he appears immediately after I mentioned him.
Meng Tao greeted him with a smile: "Didn't you say you were busy and wouldn't be back at noon?"
Shen Yu hugged his little wife and kissed her: "It won't take long to come back. We have to eat anyway - who are you calling? I've been busy all morning and I can't even get through."
Meng Tao: “…”
How could it be a whole morning? She probably didn't even use an hour, right? "I just said hello to Grandpa Liu and Grandma Xu. I made seven or eight calls in total, two of which I haven't answered yet."
"Heading to the capital?"
"No, I didn't hit Brother Zhehan."
Meng Tao said, reaching out to take the rattan basket from his hand, but Shen Yu refused and took it to the table and put it down: "It's quite heavy at more than 20 kilograms. Keep it for you to eat slowly."
"What's delicious?"
Shen Yu pushed aside a layer of fresh green leaves in the basket, and Meng Tao exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, what beautiful cherries!"
"I knew you liked it." Shen Yu smiled and rubbed her head. "This is an early-maturing variety, and it's quite sour. Put it away first and wait for two days until it becomes sweet, then eat it."
"Um."
The freshly picked cherries were fresh and juicy with bright colors, making people want to eat them just by looking at them. Meng Tao grabbed two handfuls and put them on the plate to taste them, and put the rest into the space.
While asking, "Where did you buy it? Should we buy more and store it for a few days before selling it?"
"Want to be a fruit vendor again?" Shen Yu went to wash his hands and helped Meng Tao wash the cherries: "Let's have lunch first, what shall we eat?"
"I had some leftover rice this morning, and I wanted to make some egg fried rice by myself. Now that you're back, I can cook some noodles. The side dishes and meat are all ready."
"Okay, what about tonight?"
"good."
"Call Director Shen later and tell him you bought the fish, so he doesn't have to worry about it anymore."
"You're already my daughter-in-law, why do you still call me Director Shen?"
As Shen Yu spoke, he fed a cherry to his little wife. Seeing that she just frowned slightly and chewed it with relish, he not only smiled but also expressed his admiration. He had tasted it before and it was very sour. He didn't understand why girls could eat sour food. His two cousins from my grandmother's family were the same.
Meng Tao picked up two and stuffed them into her mouth: "Director Shen just called back and I called him dad."
"Okay, good boy." Someone fed the child two more cherries and took them away. They were too sour and it would be better to eat them after a meal.
"You haven't told me where you bought these cherries?" Meng Tao asked.
"I don't know either. I saw someone carrying a basket full of beautiful red things. I thought you might like them, so I asked Ding Hao to find them. He bought them. I'll ask him about them this afternoon."
"The weather is getting hotter, and all kinds of fruits are ripening. I'll go out and take a look tomorrow to see if there's anything else delicious."
"Little greedy cat."
"I can't eat much, I can collect them and exchange them for money. It's strange, there are so many trees in the space, why is there no fruit tree?"
"Yes, there are two longevity fruit trees behind the Xiushen Hall. They are very tall. There are also mountain pear and wild jujube trees on the edge of the cliff."
"Really? I didn't even notice."
"There are no fruits on it, so you can't see them. Maybe they will bloom and bear fruit in the future."
"What kind of fruit is the Wanshou fruit?"
"Have you never eaten it? It's commonly known as the jujube, and it tastes sweet and astringent. It's not a real fruit, but a medicinal herb - most of the trees that grow in space are medicinal herbs."
"He only grows medicinal herbs and no fruits. The immortal who sealed this space must be an old man."
"I'm not as greedy as you."
"I'm greedy, so what? I'm going to find all kinds of fruit tree seedlings and plant them, and turn it into a flower-fruit mountain!"
"And you are the Monkey King, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"
"You are! You are the boss, you are the Monkey King."
"So you are the Monkey Queen?"
"puff……"
The couple laughed and joked while cooking lunch. After they finished eating, Shen Yu had to go back to work. Meng Tao walked him to the car. Shen Yu said, "How about coming with me? Your teachers have assigned you homework. You can study in my office. I'll be back to accompany you after the meeting."
Meng Tao shook her head: "No, that's not serious."
Seeing his cute wife, Shen Yu couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face: "Are you bored at home alone?"
"It's good. I read books and write, and I have other things to do. I'm too busy."
"You have to be careful when you go in there. Don't let anyone see you, not even Dad."
"Know."
"Don't get tired. Call me if you miss me."
"Yes. Remember to call Brother Zhehan to bring Xiao Wangcai back in the evening."
"Xiao Wangcai... let's go pick him up someday when we are free."
Shen Yu waved to his wife, stepped on the accelerator and left.
I thought to myself, Xiao Wangcai definitely can't come back now, what is he coming back for? To compete with me for favor?
Having only been married for a few days, the couple can’t wait to stick together all the time and can’t imagine having a dog head come in between them… So Xiao Wangcai can’t come back too soon!
