After dinner, Shen Heping went to the office for an emergency meeting. Shen Yu was about to go upstairs when the phone rang. He went to answer it. It was Meng Zhehan calling. He sat on the sofa and the two good friends chatted on the phone.

Meng Zhehan: "We haven't seen each other for several days, and you didn't call me. I thought you went back to Beijing."

Shen Yu: "There are a lot of problems at work here. There are endless meetings and rectification plans one after another, but it is difficult to finalize them. I can't go back to Beijing so soon. I'll still be there during the New Year."

"Different fields have different worlds. I am not interested in your work. What are you doing? You seem listless when you talk."

"Really? You can feel it? You are indeed my brother. I am in a bad mood right now."

"Ha, I wanted to see you in a bad mood."

"I'll show you tomorrow. You can treat us to lunch. You don't have to make anything special. Just steam two pieces of dried fish and stir-fry some shredded pork and dried bamboo shoots."

"You wish! You and your father are two people, and Zhang Guoqing and I are two people. I also sent some to my grandfather and grandpa respectively. They ate them up a long time ago. How can there be any left?"

"Your package is bigger than mine, I know."

"I just finished eating."

"Really gone?"

“No more.”

"Then I feel even worse."

"Isn't it because there's nothing to eat that this is happening?"

"Half and half."

"What about the other half?"

"Lovesick, is that okay?"

Meng Zhehan was laughing over there. Shen Yu: "I'm serious."

"Can you tell me which deity has bewitched you, a heartless thousand-year-old ice cube?" Meng Zhehan laughed so hard that he was a little breathless.

"I won't tell you for now, I'm afraid you can't bear it."

"Go ahead, I have a good heart and can handle it."

"You asked for this,"

Shen Yu couldn't help laughing. He would let him know sooner or later anyway: "It's your sister."

Meng Zhehan was stunned for a moment and asked, "How could those useless sisters of mine win your favor? How can I not believe it? But no matter which one it is, take it away quickly if you want it, don't be polite!"

"She's not from the capital, she's your sister from five hundred years ago."

Meng Zhehan: “…”

After a moment of silence, he said in a very serious tone: "Comrade Shen Yu, this joke is not funny at all."

"No joke, Comrade Meng Zhehan, you know what kind of person I am." Shen Yu was equally serious.

"I don't know!" Meng Zhehan said, "Just like when Meng Shengli chose Tian Zhigao for Taohua, I believe his vision is not bad, but he still made a mistake, and you, Shen Yu..."

Shen Yu cursed and interrupted him: "You kid, you deserve a beating, comparing me with that Tian guy?"

"Why do you say that to me?"

"You grew up in the Xu family in Beijing, and your father's side, although he refuses to acknowledge his ancestry, is also a famous family in Hai City. With a background like yours, we Taohua can't marry up, and Taohua can't fit into your family, and she can't afford it! Taohua is suitable to find someone like Zhang Guoqing and live an ordinary but peaceful and leisurely life. I have thought about it for her. I plan to ask Zhang Guoqing to help me find a reliable colleague in his unit. When I go back home during the holidays, I will introduce Taohua to a date. If she doesn't like one, she can look at another. Anyway, there are many young people in their unit! With me as a brother, it is impossible for Taohua to suffer the same loss as before. So, please let her go and don't provoke her!"

After hearing what Meng Zhehan said, Shen Yu's face suddenly turned as black as ink, and his breathing was obviously unstable. For a moment , he was so impulsive that he wanted to hang up the phone, and then asked Ding Hao to drive over. He wanted to go to a certain college in the city to find Meng Zhehan and beat him up! What kind of brother is this? They are childhood friends. Is it easy for him to chase a girl? The girl hasn't officially agreed. He is waiting for a reply in agony. Although he is very confident, he feels very uncomfortable every day. That bastard is already thinking about stealing his girl! "Meng Zhehan, I can tell you: except me, Shen Yu, no one can be worthy of Taohua! Whether I am sincere or not, you will slowly see, but if you dare to ruin our business, Taohua and I will not recognize you in the future!"

Meng Zhehan: “…”

Without waiting for him to say anything else, Shen Yu said, "Just wait for me. I'll be there tomorrow at noon!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Before he could leave, the phone rang again. Shen Yu thought it was Meng Zhehan again, so he picked it up: "I won't talk to you now, let's talk tomorrow!"

A majestic and deep voice came from my ear: "Yu'er."

Shen Yu paused: "I'm here, uncle!"

"Where's your father?"

"Father is out for a meeting."

Uncle Xu asked about Shen Yu's work, encouraged him a few times, and then coughed twice: "The dried fish and mushrooms and vegetables they brought back last time are very good! Your grandpa and grandma said they have never eaten such good local specialties. Your grandpa and grandma have some old illnesses that have been tormenting them at this time of year in previous years, but they haven't flared up this year. They said it was the credit of those mushrooms... They ate them sparingly and have already eaten them all, so I asked my uncle to call and ask if there is any more?"

Shen Yu replied: "I got those by chance. I am still looking for them. I haven't collected them yet. As soon as I find them, I will send them back as soon as possible."

"Is it difficult to collect? Do you need help?"

"Not for now, I can handle it."

"Okay then! I'll tell grandpa and grandma to wait for your good news."

"Um."

"It's getting cold in Province D, so remember to put on more clothes and be safe when you go out!"

"Yes, thank you, uncle."

"That's it. Hang up."

Shen Yu put down the phone and sat on the sofa in deep thought: Who among the dignitaries and politicians in Beijing doesn't want to be healthy and live longer? The Meng family got some dry goods brought back by Meng Zhehan, and the Xu family also got some specialties packed and sent by Shen Heping himself. After tasting the deliciousness and knowing the benefits, they naturally wanted to continue to pursue and ask for it.

However, the complicated relationships between the aristocratic families in the capital meant that these ingredients were destined to be enjoyed not just by the Meng and Xu families, and the secret could not be kept.

Moreover, Taohua had been ignorant and fearless before and had released two batches of goods to Pingjiang City and Yicheng. Shen Yu sent his trusted men to investigate secretly, and found out that all the goods in Pingjiang were shipped to the island port city. Now all the black markets in Pingjiang City have been secretly controlled, waiting for the "Mengzhou new variety" to appear again, and Mengzhou has also been visited by countless people, looking for some agricultural science institute.

As for the batch of goods from Yicheng, part of it entered the capital and also attracted attention. Currently, they are urging for continued supply. If the lower levels cannot do it, someone may come down.

Those are all fruits. If more people knew that there could also be meat, fungi, dried vegetables and other ingredients, it would cause a more fanatical reaction.

Shen Yu missed Meng Taohua more and more in his heart. He didn't know if the little girl would listen to him. She really couldn't let her release the good things she collected at will! She could only export them through him, and he would bear the risk.
