"Really? Comrade Xiao Gu is kind. Oh, these peaches are expensive, right?"
"Well, luckily it's not expensive."
Ye Mingqiang actually didn’t know the price, but he didn’t say it.
The aunt happily ran over to tell everyone that Comrade Gu would treat everyone to peaches.
Immediately, someone who was eating wanted to take it.
The aunt next to her quickly said wait a minute, she would go and wash.
Ye Jiaying and the other three stood there, watching the old lady easily carry a basket of peaches into the kitchen, and then they heard the sound of running water.
Ye Mingqiang felt a little embarrassed, so he asked how much Ye Jiaying paid.
Ye Jiaying thought about it and quoted 20 cents per pound.
Yesterday she asked Ye's father about the price of peaches. Ye's father said that those who came to buy peaches only paid a few cents per pound, but Yejia Village planted a lot of peaches in large quantities, so everyone sold them.
Ye Mingqiang didn't usually buy things and didn't know if it was expensive. He took out a handful of money and paid it readily.
The aunt happily washed the peaches and took them out. When she heard that they were only 20 cents a pound, she smacked her lips in pain.
Eggs are only 80 cents per pound now. These peaches are not as nutritious as eggs, yet they are so expensive.
But since she wasn't the one paying, she couldn't say anything.
The peaches they brought had a very strong scent. As soon as they were washed and taken out, someone sitting nearby smelled it and came over to ask about it.
Gu Qinglin had already gone to the laboratory. He told Ye Mingqiang that he would distribute one basket of peaches to everyone and send one basket of peaches to his grandparents later.
The basket of peaches distributed to everyone has been washed by the aunt. Ye Mingqiang gave the money and prepared to take the others away.
"Hey, Qiangzi, where did you buy these peaches? I want to buy some too."
I had just taken two steps outside when someone called me.
He is a bald man.
He was closest and was the first to get the peach.
Now he has eaten all the peaches.
He felt like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit. The peaches were delicious, but he could finish a peach as big as his fist in just a few bites. He wanted to eat more, but most of the peaches in the basket had been taken and some people still hadn't gotten any. He felt a little embarrassed.
The aunt said that it was Ye Mingqiang who brought him here, so he chased after her.
"Director Wang." Ye Mingqiang stopped and greeted the bald man, Director Wang.
Then he glanced at Ye Jiaying and the other two and said, "The peach belongs to this lesbian."
Director Wang smiled and said to the three people, "Little girl, these peaches are from your family. They are really good. Do you have any more? I'll buy some for myself."
Ye Jiaying nodded quickly.
The few of them walked back to the place where they had just weighed the peaches and borrowed a scale from the aunt.
When the others saw Director Wang buying peaches, they all gathered around him because they were enjoying the delicious food.
In just a few minutes, the extra basket of peaches was snapped up by people eating breakfast.
By the time the people who came to have breakfast later figured out what was going on, only a few peach leaves were left.
Ye Mingqiang placed the peaches behind the cafeteria food window, and no one saw it. Even if they did, they would not let him share them because they knew they were for Gu Qinglin's grandparents.
People who buy peaches don’t care whether the hairs on the peaches will get into their bags and make them difficult to wash, and just put them directly into their shoulder bags.
Those who didn't buy any smacked their lips in regret and asked Ye Jiaying, "Little girl, are you coming tomorrow? The peaches taste really good. I want to buy some to take back for my kids."
Ye Jiaying was a little hesitant. She could come, but setting up a stall at the Chinese Academy of Sciences was not an option, right?
"Old Zhang, please coordinate and write up a report on what procedures are required." An old man with gray hair suddenly said.
Lao Zhang is the director of logistics, mainly responsible for the food, clothing, housing, transportation and welfare of everyone in the Huaguo Academy of Sciences.
"Hey, leave it to me." The man called Lao Zhang was still chewing a peach. He wiped his mouth after hearing this and quickly replied.
"Well, I'll get a few for the dean to try." After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he took three more peaches from the basket of peaches, put two in his washed lunch box, and stuffed one directly into his mouth. He ate it and left.
Ye Jiaying and the other two: Happiness came too suddenly.
The others also dispersed in groups of three or four, and it was time to go to work.
Ye Jiaying looked at the middle-aged man named Lao Zhang with some anticipation.
Old Zhang waved to the three people and went to the office in the back.
Ye Jiaying glanced at Ye Mingqiang, who smiled and nodded at her, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the door later."
Ye Mingqiang watched the three girls follow Lao Zhang and walk out carrying a basket of peaches.
"Where are you from, little girl?" Old Zhang brought the three people to the office, asked them to sit down, and started chatting.
"I'm from Yejia Village." Ye Jiaying replied.
"It's not far away. Do you grow the peaches yourself?"
Old Zhang asked in detail about Ye Jiaying's family situation and asked if there was anything else he could give her besides peaches.
Although Ye Jiaying has the memories of the original owner, she has only been there for two days and is not very familiar with the situation in Yejia Village. Ye Jiamin has been away from home for many years to attend university, and her family does not allow her to go out to the fields.
The two looked at Meng Xiaohua, and Meng Xiaohua lowered her head and whispered what fruits were available in the village.
Finally, Director Zhang thought for a long time and asked them to deliver five baskets of peaches, two baskets of grapes, two baskets of melons, and two baskets of watermelons tomorrow.
The price was very fair, and Ye Jiamin agreed to this fairness. She had wanted to do related business before, so she knew the price of this fruit.
"Is it okay to send it to the side door at 7:30 tomorrow?" Director Zhang asked when he saw that the matter was almost discussed.
"No problem." Ye Jiaying replied.
"Okay, fruit doesn't keep well in the summer, so let's order a small amount first. If everyone likes it, we can add more. Okay, you guys go back first. I still have to write a report and get it signed, so I won't send it to you."
After Lao Zhang settled the matter, he took out a pen and paper and started writing the report.
The three of them looked at each other happily and walked out the door.
Following the same route back to the cafeteria entrance, I saw Ye Mingqiang’s jeep parked there.
The car window was open and Gu Qinglin was sitting in the passenger seat.
She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Ye Jiaying felt that Gu Qinglin's lips looked much redder and no longer so pale than when they met yesterday.
I don’t know if it’s the effect of the peach.
If so, then Taozi is amazing.
If you want him to recover his health, just keep eating peaches.
She secretly gave the system a thumbs up in her heart.
Ye Jiaying greeted him with a smile, "Comrade Gu."
Gu Qinglin looked gentle and nodded at her, "Comrade Ye."
Ye Jiaying then introduced him to Ye Jiamin and Meng Xiaohua.
Gu Qinglin was going to the hospital for an IV drip and would take them out at the same time.
The three of them got in the car and drove out.
Ye Jiamin didn't say much since everyone started rushing to buy peaches. After getting on the bus, she looked out the window, not knowing what she was thinking.
Meng Xiaohua, even though she was gossiping all day yesterday, she felt a little shy when she saw so many powerful people today. She kept following behind Ye Jiaying and secretly pulling her sleeve.
There was a moment of silence in the car.
