Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Seed No. 2
Jiang Xi: "Has Qian Lili been here these past two days?"
Xie Xiaoju shook her head: "He came to see me yesterday and left. I guess he should be here soon today."
As they were talking, they heard a cheerful voice. It was Qian Lili.
Qian Lili ran so fast that her face flushed. She panted and spoke with excitement, "Hello! I'm here!"
Qian Lili pulled out a notebook from her pocket as she spoke. "This is what I've been working on these past few days. Take a look!"
From Qian Lili's tone, it can be heard that Qian Lili must have gained a lot these days. Although Jiang Xi had this psychological expectation, he was still surprised after opening the notebook.
The notebook was densely packed with names and their corresponding dishes. Jiang Xi flipped through a few pages, becoming increasingly surprised. "Have you ordered so many dishes these days?"
Qian Lili said proudly, "Yes, I've ordered over 600 servings of Zao Lu in the past two days. This is just the beginning, because some people haven't bought it before and want to wait until others around them have tried it before deciding whether to buy it. So I'm going to order even more in the future!"
Xie Xiaoju was also stunned. Over 600 copies was equivalent to what she could sell in two days at the stall. Qian Lili was able to sell so much just by promoting the products to others. "You're amazing! You can sell so many!"
Qian Lili laughed: "I didn't expect it to be so smooth at first, but once I told them to try it, they all bought it."
Qian Lili is no longer confused about the future. After a few days of trial and error, she is very confident. Even if she can't find a proper job, she won't starve to death by helping Jiang Xi sell fermented meat.
Moreover, through selling for others these days, Qian Lili also found the fun in it. She has always liked dealing with people and making new friends. Now this job can not only satisfy her interests but also make money, which is simply great.
Jiang Xi was very confident in Qian Lili. The success was due to Qian Lili's ability, and on the other hand, it was because Qian Lili had a wide circle of friends and was eloquent.
Jiang Xi smiled and handed the notebook back to Qian Lili: "You've worked hard and done a great job. We'll deliver the braised pork to you tomorrow. We have a special deliveryman to help you deliver it, so don't worry about not being able to move it."
Qian Lili didn't expect Jiang Xi to be so considerate. She hummed heavily, "I was just worried. I didn't expect you to solve it for me. Now I can focus on selling braised pork."
Jiang Xi nodded. People are suited to different tasks. Qian Lili was suitable for sales, so Jiang Xi would let her focus all her energy on sales. As for other things, Jiang Xi would help her arrange them.
Qian Lili was still excited. A scary face appeared in Xie Xiaoju's mind. Could that deliveryman be Kunzi? She wondered if Qian Lili would be scared when she saw Kunzi.
Qian Lili brought the good news but she didn't leave and chatted happily with Xie Xiaoju. The two were of similar age. Qian Lili was lively and although Xie Xiaoju was slow to warm up, she was talkative once she got to know her.
The two of them were playing together and chatting at the same time. The atmosphere was very harmonious. Jiang Xi couldn't help laughing as he watched from the side with his arms folded.
Suddenly she saw a familiar figure in the distance. It was Qi Yu'an. Qi Yu'an stood straight in the light, looking very pleasing to the eye. When he noticed that Jiang Xi saw him, Qi Yu'an smiled beautifully and strode towards Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi smiled as he looked at Qi Yu'an who was walking towards him: "Why are you here?"
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "I came here to mail a letter and came to see you. I didn't expect you to be here."
Jiang Xi: "I went to deliver the goods early in the morning and came here after I finished delivering the goods."
Qi Yuan: "Will it be very hard?"
Jiang Xi: "It's okay. I'm used to it. Now I have a lot of people helping me. The most difficult period is over."
Qi Yu'an laughed again: "I knew that Comrade Jiang is the best."
Jiang Xi... Qi Yu'an had mentioned before that calling him comrade felt a bit unfamiliar, but now when the three words "Comrade Jiang" came out of Qi Yu'an's mouth, it inexplicably made people's ears feel hot.
Qi Yuan leaned over and approached Jiang Xi: "Don't you want to know what's in my letter?"
Jiang Xi tilted his head in confusion. Qi Yu'an was touched by Jiang Xi's adorable expression and smiled even wider, revealing two rows of white teeth. "I told my parents that I'm dating someone. My partner is beautiful, hardworking, and very capable. She's a really great girl."
Qi Yu'an spoke in a light tone, but his attitude was very serious, as if he was stating some golden rule.
Jiang Xi's face flushed. "Isn't that an exaggeration? And isn't it too soon for you to tell your uncle and aunt now?"
Qi Yu'an's tone was unquestionable: "No, of course I have to tell them if I'm dating someone. Besides, it's not just a casual conversation. Sooner or later, we will become a family."
A family? Jiang Xi lowered her head slightly. The meaning of home to her was very vague. When she was very young, she had a happy time with loving parents and a harmonious family. But then things changed. Home became a place where she and Wu Yaqin struggled to survive, and the people she once trusted became a mess.
Although Jiang Xi was dating Qi Yuan, he didn't think that far ahead. After all, Jiang Xi's time experiencing family happiness was too short.
Jiang Xi's concept of home is only quarrels, separation, and betrayal. Jiang Xi has no confidence in building a happy family. Deep down, she is pessimistic about family.
Qi Yu'an was keenly aware of Jiang Xi's emotions and lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, I made this decision without your consent. I was just too happy."
Jiang Xi knew Qi Yu'an was mistaken and shook his head: "No, I just, well, I feel a little embarrassed when you praise me so much."
Qi Yu'an said in a matter-of-fact tone, "No, I'm not exaggerating. I just hate that language is so poor that it can't even describe one tenth of you."
Jiang Xi... Qi Yu'an's words successfully helped her get out of her slightly depressed mood.
"Are you always so blunt?"
Qi Yu'an raised the corner of his mouth, his eyes falling on Jiang Xi's face: "It depends on the person. If you get to know me, you will know that I have always been so straightforward. And when it comes to people I care about, I will not hide anything. I will tell them everything. After all, they are very important people, so of course I have to cherish them."
Qi Yu'an's words were sincere and passionate, like huge waves, rippling in Jiang Xi's heart. She couldn't stand such a blunt blow and could only change the subject: "Are you going back to Liangshui Village later?"
Qi Yu'an: "I don't have anything to do for now, so I won't go back. What are you going to do later?"
Jiang Xi: "The shop I bought is being renovated now. I want to go take a look."
As Jiang Xi answered, he felt the burning gazes beside him. For some unknown reason, Jiang Xi added a few more words: "Do you want to go with me?"
Qi Yu'an smiled brightly, as if he had heard great news: "Of course, as your partner, I will go with you!"
Jiang Xi...
The door of the small shop has been removed. The old door was black and had oil stains. Jiang Xi wanted to replace it with a new one. Although the budget was not enough to replace it with a fancy one, it should at least be neat and clean.
Jiang Xi took Qi Yu'an into the shop, where several workers were painting.
A long-faced man came forward and said hello: "Comrade, you're here. We are painting the walls and have already applied the first coat of putty."
Jiang Xi met the long-faced man briefly. He was introduced by Zhou Jiangang. Because Zhou Jiangang knew many people and had more knowledge about decoration, Jiang Xi temporarily handed over the decoration matters to Zhou Jiangang.
This decoration team was a temporary team formed by nearby villagers. Although it was not a very formal team, they painted very carefully and seriously. Jiang Xi took a closer look and found that the wall was smooth and flat, which was what she wanted.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The long-faced man chuckled and said, "I'll get busy then. Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Xi introduced Qi Yu'an: "There are two floors here. The upper floor is for living, and the lower floor can be used for business. It was because of this layout that I bought this place."
Qi Yu'an also observed: "This shop is of moderate size and in a good location. It's very convenient for both living and doing business. You have a good eye."
As the two were talking, Zhou Jiangang came in from outside. Seeing Jiang Xi coming, he stood up and greeted him: "Jiang Xi, you're here."
Jiang Xi nodded: "Brother Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you these days. The people you found are very serious."
Zhou Jiangang patted his head: "You're welcome, we are friends now, they also know that, so we must do our best!"
Zhou Jiangang explained the progress: "I arranged for them to paint the walls first, and then build the glass cabinets later."
Jiang Xi asked, "Has the master arrived yet?"
Zhou Jiangang: "He couldn't come a few days ago because of something. I told him to come today. He should be here soon."
Zhou Jiangang couldn't help but glance at Qi Yu'an after he finished speaking. He had noticed Qi Yu'an's presence a long time ago. It was hard not to notice such a tall young man. "Who is this?"
Qi Yuan introduced herself confidently: "Hello, I'm Qi Yuan, and I'm Jiang Xi's boyfriend."
Zhou Jiangang... It's only been a few days and the stall owner is already dating. However, this guy is very energetic and looks very noble. You can tell at first glance that he comes from a good family.
"Congratulations, congratulations, you two are truly a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!"
Qi Yu'an grinned: "Yeah, I think so too."
Jiang Xi felt a little embarrassed, which was rare. Most people nowadays are reserved, and there is no one like Qi Yu'an. However, Jiang Xi felt quite comfortable with his attitude. After all, everyone likes to hear good words.
Zhou Jiangang praised a few more times, then he saw someone walking in from the door. He raised his eyebrows and greeted, "Jianjun, come here!"
Jiang Xi and Qi Yu'an turned their heads and looked back. The man had a square face, thick eyebrows, big double eyelids, and looked very honest.
Liu Jianjun ran over panting, stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled at the people present, and stood beside Zhou Jiangang somewhat awkwardly.
