Chapter 217: Stealing Blood Sausage
The names and destinies of the two people can be tied together, the kind that define them as a couple.
Nowadays, as long as you work hard enough and use your brain enough, business opportunities are everywhere. In a while, the country will be fully open, there will no longer be any restrictions, limited supply will be cancelled, and all kinds of bills will no longer be needed. All ordinary citizens can do business on their own and start their own businesses.
In short, after a while, everyone will be free and can do whatever they want. If the country no longer cares about you, will you be able to make money? It all depends on your ability. Standing at the forefront of this storm, just believe that as long as you work hard enough, becoming a small wealthy woman is not far away.
As they were talking, their car had already entered the city. The streets became bustling with people and tall buildings stood in rows. It was much more prosperous than Yuncheng. The whole town was visibly prosperous. Bai Yichen looked ahead while driving carefully, avoiding pedestrians. The entire convoy moved slowly on the street. Bai Yichen turned his head and asked a question.
"By the way, the delivery location is called Yunlai Hotel, right?"
When the convoy set out, Bai Yichen seemed to have heard An Xin mention that after their batch of goods arrived at the delivery location, they would be sent to a place called Yunlai Hotel. It was said that a man named Cui Yuzhe would receive the goods there.
And in front of the Yunlai Hotel, he and Huzi seemed to have passed by when they went north to purchase goods, but where? Memory is fuzzy? He has to ask Anxin first.
An Xin looked at the people coming and going outside the car window and replied without looking back.
"That's right. I heard from Cui Yusong that the hotel was originally owned by their Cui family. The reason why it was built in a place called Jiangcheng was because Jiangcheng had developed water and land transportation. Most of their business had to pass through Jiangcheng, and their Cui family bought a piece of land here as a transit station for their goods and fleet."
If you don’t go out for a walk, you won’t know what’s going on. Once you go out for a walk, you’ll be shocked.
It turns out that the Cui family's business has expanded to the entire northern city. Looking at the level of development of Jiangcheng, one can imagine how powerful the Cui family's business is.
It must take a lot of money to buy a large piece of land in such a prosperous city and build a hotel or something. Moreover, this place seems to be a transit station for people's fleets and goods. The larger cargo warehouses and core businesses are still in the core city in the north.
An Xin suddenly felt that compared to the Cui family's business, her small fleet was really a poor loser!
During the time when An Xin was secretly complaining, the car had already driven forward for a few kilometers at a snail's pace. The entire convoy was weaving through the crowd in Jinan and moving forward with great difficulty. They still hadn't seen the sign of Yunlai Hotel. Bai Yichen looked in the rearview mirror and saw the car following behind, and turned his head to ask An Xin.
"Do you know the location of the Yunlai Hotel?"
In his memory, the place called Yunlai Hotel should be not far away. Why couldn't he see it after driving the entire convoy around?
An Xin withdrew her gaze and looked around, looking embarrassed.
"At the beginning, Cui Yusong only told her to deliver the goods to the Yunlai Hotel in Jiangcheng, where his elder brother would receive the goods. How could she forget to ask? Where exactly is the Jiangcheng Hotel?"
Emma, there is neither GPS nor navigation these days. Of course, even if she has GPS and car navigation in her personal storage, she can't use them at this time, unless you want to be exposed, sister.
I don’t know how those truck drivers deliver the goods. An Xin looked out the window and quickly searched the surrounding environment, but he didn’t see the words "Yunlai Hotel" as he imagined. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned his head to Bai Yichen.
"How about you pull over and I'll go down and ask passers-by or those merchants if anyone knows the Yunlai Hotel."
Since there is no GPS or navigator, we can only rely on our mouth. The mouth is for talking, so let's go down and ask.
Since Yunlai Hotel is said to be very large, there must be someone who knows about it.
Bai Yichen sat in the driver's seat, looked around and nodded.
"Okay then. I'll flash my right lights to tell the car behind me to stop. When you get off to ask for directions, try to move quickly. Otherwise, there will be a lot of people coming and going on this road, and there might be some trouble."
Mainly in the downtown area, several large trucks parked here are very conspicuous, not only hindering traffic, but also may cause other troubles.
An Xin may have realized that it was inappropriate for their convoy to stop in this downtown area, and nodded immediately.
"Okay, I'll try to be quick!"
The car stopped quickly, and An Xin turned over swiftly, opened the door and got out.
As soon as she got off the car, she felt the crowd coming and going, which almost drowned her. She quickly caught a rice cake seller next to her and asked him a question.
"Auntie, do you know the location of Yunlai Hotel?"
The aunt looked at An Xin blankly, shook her head and spoke in dialect.
"Ah, what are you talking about? I can't hear you."
An Xin: “…”
It turned out that this auntie had poor hearing, but time was running out, and An Xin could not continue to question this auntie. She immediately gave up asking this auntie and turned around to meet a street vendor selling grilled sausages. The vendor was wearing a small felt hat and looked very shrewd.
An Xin immediately pushed through the crowd and walked over to the vendor selling grilled sausages. This was a vendor selling glutinous rice blood sausage. The blood sausage on the grill was sizzling and oozing with oil, and the aroma was overflowing.
It seems that this is a hawker who is quite good at doing business, An Xin thought to herself, and spoke subconsciously.
"Excuse me, young man, do you know where the Yunlai Hotel is? Which way do I get there?"
The reason why An Xin did not ask the passers-by but chose to ask these mobile vendors was because these mobile vendors had high mobility and it was possible that they could be found setting up stalls throughout Jiangcheng.
These people are most familiar with the topography and large landmarks of this town. Although Yuanlai Inn is not very famous, it is said to be very large. So it can be considered a landmark building in Jiangcheng, right?
The vendor's fingers were skillfully turning the roasted glutinous rice blood sausage on the stove. He looked up and said directly.
"Comrade, judging from your accent, you are not from Jiangcheng, right? Do you know Lianyunlai Hotel?"
An Xin: “…”
It seemed that her accent gave away something, but she nodded subconsciously. Since the other party had heard it, there was no need to deny it. She came here to ask for directions, so she continued.
"Yes, brother. My husband and I came here to visit relatives. My relative's house is next to Yunlai Hotel. We are new here and only know the address but don't know where to go, so I came to ask you."
The young man had an unfathomable smile on his face, an expression that said, "You know, I've already seen this," and then he spoke readily.
"Of course I know. The Yunlai Hotel is very large and famous in Jiangcheng. Many tourists and businessmen who come to Jiangcheng stay there. I often set up a stall there to sell glutinous rice blood sausage. Today is the market day, so I came here to sell blood sausage."
If you want to be a hawker for a day, don't show too much joy on your face and don't be in a hurry to speak.
"Oh, really? Young man, can you tell me where the Yunlai Hotel is? Which way to get there?"
It's really easy to get it, it doesn't take any effort to say it. People have a mouth, so they should talk often. It's okay, just try to get close to people or something, there must be someone who knows where the Yunlai Hotel is, right?
The small vendors also looked very happy.
"Tell you where Yunlai Hotel is? That's no problem!"
"Oh, where exactly is Yunlai Hotel? Which way should we take to get there? Could you please give me some pointers?"
“This!”
The vendor stopped talking here, his fingers kept turning the glutinous rice blood sausage on the stove, the air was filled with tempting aroma, but An Xin didn't have the heart to care about it, and said anxiously.
"What's the matter? Where do we go from here?"
The peddler looked at An Xin, then looked at the glutinous rice blood sausage roasting on the stove in front of him and chuckled.
"If you buy five roasted glutinous rice blood sausages from me, I will tell you how to get to Yunlai Hotel. Which road is the shortest?"
An Xin: “…”
Oh my god, there is such a thing? Fell into a trap!
An Xin suddenly felt like she had fallen into a trap. She had to admit that businessmen were businessmen and they could trap her just by asking for directions.
By doing business this way, this hawker will probably become prosperous in the near future.
An Xin suddenly gave the vendor a thumbs up in compromise.
"Well, I'll buy you ten sticky rice blood sausages. Tell me right now where the Yunlai Inn is and which road is the shortest."
A smile immediately broke out on the vendor's face. He swiftly took ten grilled blood sausages from the stove for An Xin and said to her.
"Okay, no problem, young lady, you are so straightforward. I will tell you now. Our road is called Jiangxing Road. You are going in the wrong direction. You must exit this road and follow the ring road to the south. After walking about six kilometers, you will see the words "Yunlai Inn" on a large open space not far from Jiangcheng Wharf. The place is very big, so you won't have trouble finding it."
As he was talking, the vendor had already handed over ten roasted glutinous rice blood sausages with an expression that said, "I've already delivered the goods to you, you can pay now."
An Xin: “…”
Your way of doing business is really unscrupulous. I admire you. However, just ask for directions.
An Xin took the ten grilled blood sausages and asked about the price. Fortunately, the price was not expensive. After taking out the money and giving it to the vendor, she quickly walked through the crowd and got on the truck with the ten glutinous rice blood sausages.
Bai Yichen sat in the driver's seat, staring at the roasted glutinous rice blood sausage in An Xin's hand with surprise. The dish exuded a tempting aroma, and said in confusion.
"Aren't you going to ask for directions? Why are you buying barbecue?"
His An Xin is not the type of person who likes to eat snacks, so why did he suddenly think of buying glutinous rice blood sausage? She only bought ten. If the brothers in the convoy behind her saw An Xin getting on the bus with only ten grilled blood sausages, they might think that their woman was greedy and got off the bus to buy something to eat.
An Xin looked at the glutinous rice blood sausage in her hand and said “Wan.Wan.A” with a helpless look on her face.
"Oh, don't ask. This is the price you have to pay for asking for directions."
After hearing An Xin's words, Bai Yichen took a long time to react. He couldn't help but chuckle and turned to the little woman.
"Oh, I see. This little vendor is quite good at doing business."
Having said that, Bai Yichen reached out, took a grilled blood sausage, took a bite, hummed with satisfaction, and said again.
"Haha, this tastes pretty good. I'm going to buy these ten grilled blood sausages. Have you asked for directions?"
An Xin also picked up a grilled blood sausage, took a bite with hatred, and found that it tasted really good, so she nodded.
"I asked for directions. We've taken the wrong road. We have to ask the last car to back up and we'll all back up. Then we'll follow the ring road south. I heard that after about six kilometers, we'll see the Yunlai Hotel. It's on a vacant lot next to the Jiangcheng Wharf."
As he spoke, Bai Yichen had already stuffed the entire glutinous rice blood sausage into his mouth and spoke vaguely.
"Oh, really? Then I have to signal the cars behind me to move back."
Every time we take the wrong route, we learn a lesson. Next time, the brothers in the team should remember the way, right?
An Xin continued to stuff the glutinous rice blood sausage in her hand into her mouth and replied.
"Hurry up and signal them, let's go find the Yunlai Hotel!"
In this way, the entire convoy retreated under the guidance of Bai Yichen's signal. Following the route An Xin said, they soon found the Yunlai Hotel.
When all the cars were parked in the large parking lot of Yunlai Hotel, Anxin got out of the car with the remaining grilled blood sausage. Kaizi happened to come up from behind with a group of brothers. When they saw the blood sausage in Anxin's hand, they joked.
"No wonder I saw you getting off the bus alone in the downtown area. You must have gone to buy blood sausage."
After saying this, he came closer, sniffed the blood sausage and said again.
"Hey, this grilled blood sausage smells delicious. No wonder you got off the bus in the downtown area to buy it. Give me one."
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and handed over the remaining grilled blood sausage.
"Take them all and let the brothers who want to eat them have a taste. These grilled blood sausages are the price to pay for asking for directions."
Everyone: “…”
Now it seems that everyone understands why An Xin went to buy these roasted glutinous rice blood sausages? It turned out that he couldn't find the way, so he got off the bus to ask a vendor, and then was asked to buy something.
Everyone looked at the grilled blood sausage in Kaizi's hand in silence. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally Huzi sighed.
"Alas, these days you have to pay the vendor for asking for directions! The people in the north are really smart. In the future, you guys have to be more careful. When someone asks you for directions, you have to find a way to sell him something or get some money out of him."
Everyone: “…”
What a stupid idea! Are you sure you won't get beaten?
However, the grilled blood sausage smelled very fragrant, and there didn't seem to be many left. With so many people present, it would definitely be impossible to share them all. The right thing to do was to grab one and eat it first. Several young people stood there and started grabbing the blood sausage.
