Qian Minghui gave a slightly shy smile and replied, "Today's stock has all been sold out. If you want to taste it, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow."
Looking closely at Qian Ming, he has delicate features and is estimated to be close to 1.75 meters tall. Unfortunately, he has a thin frame, which gives people a somewhat weak impression of being bookish. However, this does not hinder his shrewdness and ability in the business world.
Xu Qinghe took the opportunity to make a request: "I understand the situation. Actually, I have a large demand. I wonder if you can provide delivery service? I can tell you the address."
She deliberately raised her voice to ensure that the vendors and customers around her could hear her. This kind of public business talk was no stranger in the market, so it did not attract any suspicion or strange looks.
Qian Ming readily agreed to the request: "Of course no problem, no matter where you live, I will make sure it is delivered on time!"
Seeing the time was right, Xu Qinghe quietly approached Qian Ming, lowered his voice, and spoke anxiously: "Young man, I heard your name is Qian Ming. When I came here just now, I overheard a vendor named Huai San muttering that you had taken his business and he was gathering people to teach you a lesson. When you close your stall later, you'd better take a different route home. Safety first!"
Qian Ming originally thought he could easily obtain the residence information of this mysterious woman.
I didn't expect to receive such an unexpected warning.
He was stunned, his eyes full of surprise, staring at Xu Qinghe in a daze.
Seeing this, she cleverly changed the subject: "Is it because the distance is too far and it's inconvenient to deliver to your door?"
Qian Ming seemed to wake up from a dream and quickly nodded in agreement: "No, distance is not a problem, I just need to prepare in advance. I will start packing now and try to leave as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, he began to tidy up his stall swiftly, looking as if he was eager to leave.
It seemed that he had taken Xu Qinghe's advice to heart.
He knew that Huai San also made a living by selling melon seeds, and the two had always been competitors.
It is rumored that Huai San has the support of his relatives in the supply and marketing cooperative, so minor frictions often occur in daily life.
But Huai San had never been so blatant before. He actually sent his men to come to his house to teach him a lesson.
Now that the situation is clear, wouldn't it be better to get out of this quickly?
"Comrade, thank you so much. If you buy melon seeds from me in the future, I will definitely give you the best price!"
As he spoke, he quietly left these words of gratitude.
Not daring to stay any longer, he turned around swiftly and quickly disappeared in the bustling market.
Xu Qinghe looked at his hurriedly leaving back with a bewildered look on his face.
He muttered to himself, "Hey, how come he left in such a hurry that he even forgot to ask for the address!"
The aunt selling live chickens nearby heard Xu Qinghe's words and couldn't help but sneered: "Little girl, what remote mountain valley do you live in? You scared the boy so much, haha!"
Xu Qinghe's cheeks flushed slightly, and she pointed awkwardly at the outline of the mountains in the distance. "Actually, it's not that far away. It's just on the other side of East Mountain..."
This explanation made not only the auntie, but also the surrounding vendors and customers laugh.
In this relaxed atmosphere, several burly men with ferocious faces and unfriendly expressions suddenly appeared. They looked around in the crowd, as if looking for something.
The leader asked in a rough and hateful voice, "Has anyone seen a guy named Qian Ming?"
The aunt was frightened by the hostile atmosphere emanating from this group of people and said casually, "I'll go home after I sell my things."
However, the innocent Xu Qinghe didn't notice the subtlety and bluntly replied, "Yes, he left before I finished shopping."
Upon hearing this, the leading strong man was enraged and kicked the nearby wall, cursing: "That kid got away with it!"
At this moment, Qian Ming did not go far. He cleverly hid in a narrow street nearby.
He observed secretly, wanting to confirm whether Xu Qinghe was really helping him just now.
I didn't expect that pursuers would arrive so soon.
A silent feeling of gratitude towards Xu Qinghe welled up in his heart.
Without further hesitation, he quickly blended into the crowd and disappeared completely.
This was obviously no longer a safe place for him to set up his stall. He would have to find another place to sell melon seeds in the future.
Thinking about how weak he was and how he was no match for that group of people, avoiding their attack became his only option.
Xu Qinghe noticed that Qian Ming was safe and sound, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
She continued to wander around the market, thinking about the various supplies needed for her family and memorizing them one by one, then she quietly left.
The candies she had purchased with Yin Yunjie were almost all sold out by the guests at the wedding, so she decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to restock.
Candy is a good choice for interpersonal communication and is indispensable in every home.
After finishing her shopping, she looked for a secluded spot to retrieve her bicycle where it had been parked.
She accidentally discovered that Qian Ming was standing not far away, waving at her.
Xu Qinghe looked around and confirmed that Qian Ming was indeed greeting her, so she quickly stepped forward.
"Brother, do you have anything to ask me?"
Hearing this, Qian Ming smiled innocently, a hint of shyness crossing his face. "Comrade, thank you so much. After I got back, I thought about it and brought some sunflower seeds with me. I wanted to give them all to you as a thank you for helping me out today. I hope you don't mind."
Looking at his sincere face, Xu Qinghe understood that he was waiting for her here specifically after confirming the threat from those people.
She generously accepted some of it and said with a smile, "It's too much. I can't eat it all. You should sell the rest. It's just a small favor, but you really have to be careful. I'm afraid someone is secretly watching you. It's really a good idea to change your place of business."
Xu Qinghe wanted to make friends with this simple young man, so he would naturally take the initiative to get closer to him.
She believes that once friendship is established, future cooperation will follow naturally.
Qian Ming's face still showed some worry, but his eyes were more determined: "You are right, I will pay attention to safety. Thank you again, comrade."
What if the black market, which was once a bustling trading route, suddenly became blocked?
Qian Ming had to consider more hidden and uncertain options.
Quietly sneak into residential areas with a strong atmosphere of life and operate privately.
This is undoubtedly a risky move, as it might be discovered by vigilant neighbors or security guards on night patrol.
What awaits him will be severe legal sanctions, and may even destroy everything he has carefully built.
These complex and subtle calculations surged in Qian Ming's heart.
But for Xu Qinghe, who had just met me and had a pretty face, it seemed too early and there was no need to reveal too much.
Qian Ming thought to himself and decided to wait until a more appropriate time to discuss these issues with her in depth.
