Chapter 66: Director's Aunt Visits
Xu Huizhen looked at Cai Quanwu with profound eyes. Cai Quanwu nodded his head in understanding. Xu Huizhen immediately regained her confidence upon seeing this, and her hearty laughter rang out again.
"I, Xu Hui, speak my truth. If I dare to write it, I must recognize it! Everyone is very welcome to come and support me tomorrow. Even if you only come to buy one salted duck egg, you can also carry away twenty kilograms of first-grade Chinese cabbage at the market price.
, if I can’t get it out by then, then I will pay for him to drink for free for a year out of my own pocket!”
"Oh~oh!"
"Shopkeeper Xu, the situation is bad!"
"A year in vain?"
"Xu Huizhen, you said this yourself! And everyone has heard it with their own ears. If you can't bring out a pound of first-class cabbage tomorrow, you will have to provide me with free wine for a year."
The middle-aged man with hare lips stood up from the bench excitedly and stared at Xu Huizhen.
"Yes, I said that!" Xu Huizhen replied very simply.
"Haha, why should I drink here? I'm going home to mobilize now. We'll see you tomorrow!" The middle-aged man with hare lips picked up the wine cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp, then left the tavern with a big smile.
The rest of the customers who were watching the excitement in the room also woke up when the middle-aged man with hare lips reminded them. They all left in twos and threes, and the tavern immediately became empty, as if someone had cleared the place.
Mr. Niu was a little drunk at first, but after the commotion that everyone had just had, he had almost sobered up. He was still a little worried that Xu Huizhen had really lied this time.
Good guy, just the number of customers who left just now is not a small number.
"Huizhen, do you really have so many first-class cabbages in your hands?"
"I just counted, a total of twenty-three people left. Based on four hundred catties per family, they need at least nine thousand catties of Chinese cabbage. This is not a small amount." Teacher Xu reported his rough calculation.
Amount of cabbage.
"Nine, nine thousand catties?" He Yumei exclaimed.
"Don't worry, the large amount will suffice, right? None." Xu Huizhen looked at Cai Quanwu and said confidently.
"Well, the latest batch of Chinese cabbage has just arrived." Cai Quanwu responded and made a gesture to Xu Huizhen.
"You and your wife are playing riddles here again, haha. Since you know what's going on, I won't say anything more." Mr. Niu saw that Cai Quanwu, who had always been steady, said it was okay, so he stopped worrying.
Seeing that Mr. Niu had said this, Teacher Xu felt that his statement just now was a small favor to Xu Huizhen, so he raised his wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, raised his hand and left.
Since Xu Hui is so confident, she will definitely not dislike having one more person.
When Teacher Xu opened the door and went out, Xu Huizhen immediately took Cai Quanwu to the back of the counter and asked in detail about the process of picking up the dishes tonight. Cai Quanwu talked about it, and Xu Huizhen was very excited when she heard it, and she said it several times in a row.
good.
"Yumei, I'm going home with Quanwu. There won't be any customers in the tavern. Just lock the door and get off work when the time comes." Xu Huizhen, urged by Cai Quanwu, told He Yumei to stick to her post.
"Sister Huizhen, please feel free to go back. There will definitely be no problems with me here." He Yumei nodded in response.
Xu Huizhen said hello to Mr. Niu again, and followed Cai Quanwu out of the tavern with long strides. The two turned into the alley and returned home within a few steps. After pushing the door and entering, they saw four buildings and courtyard walls.
Stacks of Chinese cabbage of equal height. Xu Huizhen touched the green and fresh Chinese cabbage. Xu Huizhen's eyes were full of joy. With these Chinese cabbages in her hands, she could make a sensation in the whole Dashilan tomorrow.
Xu Hui was so happy, but Li Tong, who was sitting in the living room, was like an ant on a hot pot. He couldn't sit comfortably and would look up at the clock's hour hand from time to time.
After school today, Li Tong still followed Xu Jingli towards Qianmen Street, but he broke away from the team near Beiyanhe Street. Before leaving, he specially asked Xu Jingli to let her father Cai Quanwu drive when she got home twice.
Go to the old place to get food.
A few minutes after Li Tong moved the cabbage out of the virtual space, Cai Quanwu appeared at the street corner driving a tractor with a red engine and a green body, accompanied by the familiar sound of churning. There were also five strong men sitting in the car.
.
More than 15,000 kilograms of vegetables, if only one person can carry them hand-in-hand, it will be enough for a day.
Fortunately, Cai Quanwu invited three strong laborers, and also prepared a cart and a wooden board to serve as a ramp in advance. The six people easily loaded the cabbage into the cart in less than thirty minutes.
After the tractor arrived at Xu's house, it took a little longer because the Chinese cabbage had to be weighed one by one. It took nearly an hour to unload.
At this time, the hour hand of the clock had already passed 6 o'clock directly below, and the minute hand had already passed the number 10, officially announcing that Li Tong had broken the rules he had set.
As soon as Xu Huizhen entered the room, she gave Li Tong a warm hug: "Third boy, you have helped Aunt Xu a lot this time. You haven't had anything to eat for dinner yet. I asked your Uncle Cai to steam a fish for you."
Li Tong shook his head and refused: "I won't have dinner. I have to go back and sweep the yard quickly. The time has passed."
"Since you are in a hurry, let your Uncle Cai take you to the bus stop at the intersection later. Remember to take the No. 9 bus first, wait until you reach the Nanyanhe bus stop, then transfer to the No. 8 bus, and ride until you get off at Luogu Alley.
It’s your home.” Xu Huizhen also saw it
Seeing the anxious look on Li Tong's face, he turned around and returned to the house after giving a few instructions. He took out an iron box from the drawer of the desk, took out a stack of bundled paper notes, added a little more, and returned it.
The hall handed it to Li Tong.
"Here is the remaining balance of 322 yuan, but you must put it away so that no one steals it."
"Well, I'll go home first, Aunt Xu." Li Tong put a bundle of paper tickets into his schoolbag without thinking, jumped down from the chair, said goodbye to Xu Huizhen, and went to the yard to find Cai, who was still sorting the cabbage.
Nothing.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the station."
Cai Quanwu touched Li Tong's head and said that he heard what Li Tong and Xu Huizhen said in the room. He felt that the meal could be put off later. The most important thing is for a man to keep his promise.
The bus carrying a large gas bag gradually went away. Cai Quanwu returned home slowly and suddenly found that the director of the neighborhood committee had come to his house at some unknown time.
"Huizhen, where did you get so many good mussels of Chinese cabbage?" the director asked, patting the firm-headed Chinese cabbage with bright eyes.
"This is all thanks to the help of the production team in Fangshan. You also know how difficult it is for my small pub to increase revenue. My win over Fan Jinyou this time depends entirely on this batch of cabbage." Xu Hui
I was really saying haha, I had already thought of an excuse.
"Don't ever mention Fan Jinyou to me again. He is about to bring disgrace to our street!" When the director's wife heard Xu Huizhen talk about Fan Jinyou, her face immediately turned green.
"What other shameful things did he do?" Xu Huizhen asked in surprise.
At this time, Cai Quanwu happened to enter the room. Xu Huizhen immediately winked at him and told him to go out first. The director's wife saw it and waved her hand and said: "Quanwu is not an outsider. I guess I can't hide this matter even if I want to.
