When the train reached the border between Huaguo and Ermao and had to change trains, Yunyan suddenly caught a bad cold.
Although she had made adequate preparations and wore warm enough clothes, she had lived in the south for many years, and her body could not withstand the sudden arrival in a place covered in ice and snow.
Because Yunyan was ill, Zhang Jingwen had to find a hotel near her home to stay in. She found a local doctor for Yunyan, and the medication and injections she received were ineffective.
Yun Yan remembered that she still had some cold and fever-reducing medicine brought from the 21st century in her space, so she took the medicine from the space and swallowed it without telling Zhang Jingwen.
Those medicines were bought at great expense, and they were indeed very effective. Yunyan's fever subsided after just two doses, and by the third day, she was in very good spirits!
After Yunyan recovered from her illness, she continued on her journey. After getting on the train, Zhang Jingwen was still a little worried about her.
Zhang Jingwen brought a hand-warming bottle from outside and put it in Yunyan's bed. She said to her, "Madam, you have just recovered from your illness. You should take care of your health."
When Yunyan first fell ill, the symptoms scared her and she was worried that Yunyan would not survive.
"Jingwen, I've really troubled you these days. I'm much better now, so go and have a rest!" said Mr. Yun.
During the days when she was sick, Zhang Jingwen took care of her almost non-stop. Now that she is much better, it is natural for her to rest.
"Okay, ma'am, call me if you need anything." Zhang Jingwen said.
Then she locked the door of the carriage and lay down on her bed to rest. After taking care of Yunyan day and night for three or four days, she was indeed tired!
Yang Qian had already transported all 10,000 tons of scrap steel to the mudflat rented by Yun Yan.
When Ye Fan heard from his friend that Yang Qian had bought 10,000 tons of scrap steel, he was so scared that he almost fell off his chair!
"Wife, someone said you bought 10,000 tons of scrap steel. Is this true?" Ye Fan asked impatiently after the call was connected.
If Yang Qian really bought 10,000 tons of scrap steel at this time, he would definitely go crazy.
"I did bring back 10,000 tons of scrap steel, but I didn't buy it. Yun Yan did!" Yang Qian said.
"Yun Yan bought it! Is she crazy? Doesn't she know that the international steel price is getting lower day by day?" Ye Fan asked in disbelief.
In his impression, Yun Yan had never made such a stupid decision before. What happened now?
"Of course she knows the current international steel prices. I've tried to persuade her earnestly for a long time, but she still insists on having her own way!"
"She said that she saw that the price of steel has been plummeting, so she decided to buy at the bottom of the market." Yang Qian explained helplessly.
"Buying at the bottom! She must be dreaming. Don't let anyone steal all her wealth." Ye Fan said.
After hearing what Ye Fan said, Yang Qian secretly complained in her heart. Fortunately, he didn't know that Yun Yan had already gone to the north and planned to buy a batch of scrap steel there, otherwise Ye Fan would probably be shocked!
At the end of April, after more than half a month's journey, Yun Yan and Zhang Jingwen finally arrived safely in Ji City, the capital of Ermao's family.
Zhang Jingwen had been here before with people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so she was very familiar with the place. She took Yunyan to a hotel that specializes in receiving Chinese businessmen.
They booked a suite where they could cook their own meals.
After half a month of getting along, Yun Yan already had a general idea of Zhang Jingwen's taste and favorite dishes.
After putting their luggage in the room and resting for a while, Yun Yan and Zhang Jingwen went to the nearby market together.
At the end of April, the coldest time had passed for Ermao's family, but the temperature was only 17 or 18 degrees Celsius.
Yunyan is afraid of the cold, so she wore a woolen sweater as a base, paired with a cashmere coat and high boots.
Zhang Jingwen's outfit is relatively simple, wearing a thin casual outfit, making her look very capable and neat!
The vegetable market here mainly sells meat, and there is not even a trace of vegetables to be seen.
No wonder when I was watching TikTok online before, I saw people here eating meat with big mouthfuls and no vegetables at all.
It turns out that vegetables here are more expensive than meat, and ordinary people cannot afford to eat vegetables every day.
Yunyan bought some meat and two fresh mackerel and went back to make mackerel dumplings!
After returning to the hotel, Yun Yan went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Because Zhang Jingwen was not there, Yun Yan took out a large cabbage from the space.
She kept a lot of vegetables in her space just in case.
For dinner we had boiled beef, chicken soup with mushrooms and a dish of spicy and sour cabbage.
As for the Spanish mackerel I bought today, I’ll put it in the refrigerator for the time being. It won’t go bad anyway!
Zhang Jingwen came back just as Yunyan finished cooking. As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the aroma of her favorite boiled beef.
"It turns out to be boiled beef. I thought I smelled it wrong! And there is spicy and sour cabbage. Where did you get the cabbage, madam?" Zhang Jingwen asked in confusion.
Zhang Jingwen found it incredible that she could actually eat fresh vegetables at Ermao's house.
"I brought these cabbages from Beijing, but unfortunately a lot of them were frozen. A cabbage that used to weigh seven or eight kilograms was only left with two kilograms!" said Yun Yan.
Yun Yan made up a random excuse to fool her. Anyway, she wasn't there just now, so she could say whatever she wanted!
However, Yun Yan also decided to be more careful in the future. She would secretly cook and eat the remaining vegetables in the space.
Zhang Jingwen didn't think much about Yun Yan's explanation. She hadn't eaten any fresh meals on the train for more than half a month. Now that she had her favorite boiled beef and cabbage, how could she resist!
After dinner, Yunyan and Zhang Jingwen sat on the sofa and chatted. She had been here before, and Yunyan wanted to ask her where she could get the army's scrapped weapons.
"Madam, did you come to Ji City just to buy scrap steel?" Zhang Jingwen asked.
She found it a little hard to understand why Yun Yan would jump into the fire pit. Even she, an outsider, knew that the international steel prices were plummeting.
"Yes, the main purpose of my coming to the north this time is to buy scrap steel!" Yun Yan said.
"But the steel market is very bad now. Other scrap steel buyers are eager to sell the scrap steel in their hands to break even. Why are you..." Zhang Jingwen said hesitantly.
"It's because the steel market is cold now that I choose to enter the market at this time! After all, fortune and wealth are sought in danger." Yun Yan said with a smile.
Zhang Jingwen listened to Yun Yan's explanation, but she still couldn't understand her actions. However, she was just a bodyguard and translator hired at a high price, and she had no right to dictate her employer's decisions!
