Chapter 292: The wrong flattery?
After saying that, Chen Kexin went to another room and went outside to open the door of the wing where the grain was stored.
As soon as he walked in, he took out several buckets of live fish and shrimp from the space, and also took out twenty tied-up roosters.
Then he walked into the house and said to a few people, "Come and take a look."
After seeing the goods, the two people were full of praise.
"Captain Song, this batch of ingredients is reasonably priced and of good quality. Thank you so much!"
Chen Kexin was stunned for a moment, looked at Song Mo in confusion and asked, "You got a promotion?"
Song Mo scratched his head and said, "Wife, it's just a deputy position. I have made several contributions on the front line, and I also busted a gang of human traffickers on the train. The army knows about it. We set up an independent regiment, and the superiors issued a document asking me to lead the team training."
Chen Kexin immediately understood: Song Mo was the deputy head of the group.
These two logistics leaders definitely did not have higher official positions than Song Mo. In order to please him, they deliberately removed the word "deputy", which scared her.
In her previous life, she heard that it took three years to go from battalion commander to deputy regiment commander. However, it was normal for a battalion commander who performed well in the war to be promoted to deputy regiment commander.
Thinking of this in a flash, she said with sparkling eyes: "Congratulations, I have prepared a lot of delicious food for you, which I will give to you later."
Song Mo immediately showed his joy and said, "That's great. My brothers are all asking me to treat them. I will bring some food back to give them a snack."
"good!"
At this time, the two logistics leaders calculated the accounts and brought them to Chen Kexin to see.
"Sister-in-law, look, this is the market price. This is our transaction price after a 30% discount. If there is anything inappropriate, please point it out."
Chen Kexin took a look and decisively erased the change and said, "My friend knows that supplying goods to the army does not make any money, so he said he is willing to trade at cost price."
The two logistics leaders who frequently carry out purchasing are well aware of this.
"Thank you and your spouse for your help!"
"You are welcome!"
Then, several people carried the ingredients into the car.
There were not only several burlap sacks and flour bags in the carriage, but also more than a dozen bamboo baskets.
Song Mo said seriously, "Wife, your friend said he didn't have any packaging bags. Every time he comes to pick up something, the logistics comrades promised to bring the packaging."
Chen Kexin knew that these words were meant for two outsiders to hear.
He smiled and said, "I'll pass that message on to them."
"Captain Song, these ingredients are cheap and good quality. Can you ask if they have any more tomorrow?"
"Don't ask me, it's your sister-in-law's relationship."
Chen Kexin took over and said, "My friend said that there are supplies every day and the quantity will not be too much. What do you need tomorrow and how much do you need?"
“Is there any pork?”
"Yes, there is also mutton. By the way, the price of dates and apples is also 70% off the market price."
"Tomorrow we need pork, beef and mutton. We need 200 kilograms of pork, 100 kilograms of beef and mutton each, and five baskets of eggs. We also need 100 kilograms of dates and apples."
"OK!"
Next, Chen Kexin handed Song Mo a big bag full of food she had prepared.
When Song Mo saw the roast chicken and braised pig's trotters, his eyes lit up immediately. He knew that these things were made by his wife herself, and said gratefully, "Thank you, my wife!"
"Why should we be polite to each other? Will you come tomorrow?"
Song Mo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to find me today. Training starts tomorrow and I can't come. I have good news for you. Yesterday I tested my strength and endurance, and they are much better than before I was injured."
Seeing that the two logistics leaders were not around, Chen Kexin rolled her eyes at the man and whispered, "How much space food did you eat? There are also ginseng and lotus seeds. Do you think those good things are cabbages on the street?"
She did not hide the matter of lotus seeds from the other party. Song Mo knew that lotus seeds had miraculous effects in repairing human body functions.
The young wife put the last dried lotus seed into a small capsule and hung it around his neck to carry with him.
Although there will be no fighting in the near future, she was scared by the injury last time, so it is better to be prepared.
Since Song Mo is not coming tomorrow, Chen Kexin doesn't want to be there and quickly thinks of a good idea.
She said to the two leaders seriously, "How about this, I'll give you the key, and when you pick up your things tomorrow, leave a note if you need anything the day after tomorrow, and put the money together as well."
The two logistics leaders nodded repeatedly and said, “Okay, sister-in-law!”
They couldn't help but mutter in their hearts: My sister-in-law's friend is so generous.
Then I thought, they are a big businessman and they don’t care about such small things.
I looked at the time and it was time for lunch.
Chen Kexin said to several people enthusiastically: "By the way, my friend said that he is very busy and asked me to treat everyone to lunch."
The two agreed readily: "Sister-in-law, let your friend spend the money."
Song Mo was not very interested in eating at state-owned restaurants. If he had to choose, he would like to eat roast chicken and braised pig's trotters with his young wife.
Everyone came to a state-owned restaurant not far away, and Chen Kexin ordered a few main dishes.
Chen Kexin and Song Mo only had a brief taste.
The food in the army canteen is not very oily, but the braised pork and chicken stewed with mushrooms in the state-owned restaurant look oily and taste good.
The two logistics officers had a big appetite and kept flattering my sister-in-law's friends.
He had no idea that he was flattering the wrong person.
When they had almost finished eating, they realized that Song Mo and his sister-in-law didn't seem to have eaten much.
"Captain Song, I didn't expect you to eat in such a sophisticated way."
"I ate too much this morning, so..."
Chen Kexin also said: "My friend delivered three hot meat buns. Come over here. I just finished eating."
The two of them immediately understood that the young couple was not hungry.
After dinner, Chen Kexin sent Song Mo and others away, then took the bus straight to the Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy where the beautiful master worked.
After getting off the bus, she looked at the time. It was exactly 1:30 in the afternoon. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
When she walked into Tong Ren Tang, she didn't see any customers. The apprentice she met last time saw her come in and said enthusiastically, "Miss Ke Xin, please take a seat. Doctor Bai is resting and will be here in half an hour."
Chen Kexin thought that the beautiful master was very busy, but she didn't expect that she would have a leisurely lunch break at noon.
I quickly remembered what I saw on the Internet in my previous life: adequate sleep plays a significant role in beauty and skin care.
The beautiful senior sister was very good at arranging her life, and I immediately became envious and jealous.
I took out the ancient medical book that I had read over and over again, and pondered over the several questionable parts.
As the saying goes: Hard work pays off. Among the six questions in total, I finally found the answer to one of them, and I was immediately overjoyed.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded: "What do you think of Miss Ke Xin?"
Chen Kexin raised her head and looked over, and found that it was the beautiful senior sister.
He immediately stood up apologetically and said respectfully, "I was watching so intently just now that I didn't notice my uncle coming in."
"It's okay, follow me!"
Chen Kexin obediently followed the other person and walked towards the backyard.
When they came to the desk and sat down, the old man asked seriously, "Have you finished reading this book? Do you have any questions?"
Chen Kexin spoke frankly, "Uncle Master, I have finished reading the book, but there are five questions I cannot figure out...
The old man listened patiently, raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction: "You are not bad, I will tell you..."
After the five questions were explained, Chen Kexin suddenly understood, her eyes sparkling: "Master, you are so amazing, I understand!"
After thinking for a while, she continued to flatter him: "Uncle Master, I wrote a letter to Master, saying that you are very kind to me."
I thought the master uncle would be very happy or shy, but unexpectedly his face suddenly darkened and he said, "You are too nosy!"
Chen Kexin was immediately confused. Did she flatter the wrong person?
