The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Old Cai, give me two ounces of wine."

Liu Minghui looked around and didn't see Xu Huizhen, so he shouted to Cai Quanwu at the counter.

"Okay, Master Liu, wait a moment."

Cai Quanwu responded and turned around to get some wine.

Liu Minghui looked around and finally saw Niu Ye in the corner.

"Liu is here, hurry up and sit down and chat."

As soon as Liu Minghui came in, he was seen by Niu Ye. Seeing Liu Minghui coming, Niu Ye immediately greeted him.

"Row."

Liu Minghui originally came to see Niu Ye, so of course he would not refuse and sat down in the corner.

At this time, there was not only Niu Ye at the table, but also Pian Ye who had not been seen for a long time.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui asked in amazement, "Hey, isn't this Pian'er Ye? Why don't you stay with your son and enjoy your life? Why did you come back to the city?"

As he spoke, Liu Minghui revealed a teasing smirk: "Is it possible that your son won't provide for you in your old age?"

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about, little Liu? Can't I come back to stay for two days and meet old friends?"

Pian'er Ye was originally quite happy reminiscing about the past with Niu Ye, but after hearing what Liu Minghui said, he immediately became furious.

Seeing this, Mr. Niu smiled and said, "Liu boy, don't tease him. He is doing big business now."

Niu Ye said the last sentence in a very low voice, and only the three of them could hear it.

After all, doing business nowadays is nothing to brag about.

Liu Minghui was startled when he heard this, and as if he had thought of something, he asked Pian'erye in a low voice: "Is it food..."

Liu Minghui didn't finish his words. Although it was a question, Liu Minghui was 100% sure that Pianerye was in the business of reselling grain.

Upon hearing this, Pian'er Ye was shocked and looked around quickly. He was relieved when he saw that no one heard it.

"Keep your voice down, kid. You're not afraid of me, but I am."

It’s no wonder that Pianerye is so timid, it’s just that this matter cannot be made public.

"Why don't we talk somewhere else?"

Liu Minghui knew at a glance that he had guessed correctly and suggested changing the place, saying that there were too many people here and it was not a suitable place to discuss things.

After all, if Pianerye had a large amount of grain, he could purchase it back for the steel mill.

Upon hearing this, Pian'er Ye looked at Niu Ye. After all, he and Liu Minghui had only met a few times. Apart from knowing that he was the head of the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill, he knew nothing else about him.

Seeing this, Uncle Niu vouched for Liu Minghui.

"Don't worry. If we negotiate well, maybe he can give you all of it."

Uncle Niu said it very clearly. You have to know that a steel rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. The food consumption is terrifying. We are not afraid of having too much food, but we are afraid of having too little.

With Niu Ye's assurance, a smile appeared on Pian Ye's face.

"Those are just right for going back to the yard I sold you. I haven't been back for a few years and I miss it."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui nodded and said it was no problem.

Then a few people left the tavern. After they left, Xu Huizhen came in from the kitchen.

"Hey, didn't you say Liu Minghui was here? Why didn't I see him?"

Xu Huizhen also wanted to buy something with Liu Minghui, so she just went back to breastfeed her baby. After Cai Quanwu talked to her, she came out immediately, but still no one was seen.

Cai Quanwu spread out his hands and showed a helpless expression.

"He just left, with Master Niu and the others."

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll go to Xueru's place later."

Xu Huizhen mainly wanted to ask Liu Minghui to buy a few bags of milk powder. Two months ago, Xu Huizhen gave birth to a boy for Cai Quanwu. It was because of this that Liu Minghui did not see Xu Huizhen just now.

On the other side, Liu Minghui brought Niu Ye and Pian Ye back to the courtyard house near the front street.

No one has lived in this yard since Liu Minghui bought it. Liu Minghui only comes back to take a look occasionally, and most of the time, it is left to Chen Xueru to take care of.

"Alas, I haven't been back for several years, and nothing has changed."

After Pian'erye entered the yard, he looked around and sighed.

"Liu boy, you don't live here?"

In response to Pianerye's question, Liu Minghui did not hide anything and nodded directly.

"Of course. I work in a steel mill. It would be too far to live here."

A few people found a place to sit down.

Niu Ye directly asked Pian Er Ye: "Don't look at it anymore. If you keep looking, this place is not yours anymore. Let's get down to business."

Uncle Niu was a little impatient. After all, the old man was so busy looking around that he had forgotten why the three of them came here.

"Hey, this isn't nostalgia."

Pianerye said this with a laugh.

However, after the chatting time was over, a serious expression appeared on Pianerye's face.

"I came here to resell grain this time. I don't know if the steel mill can sustain it."

He did not try to hide anything and said it directly. Liu Minghui and Niu Ye were both acquaintances and there was no need for them to harm him.

"Liu boy, what do you say?"

Before Liu Minghui could answer, Niu Ye looked at him.

Liu Minghui pondered for a moment before asking about Pianerye's specific situation.

"The strength of our steel mill is beyond doubt. We are not afraid of you having too much, but we are afraid of having too little. After all, we don't know how much grain the steel mill consumes every day."

After Liu Minghui finished speaking, he looked at the Pianer opposite him with a sharp gaze. What he meant by this was to remind him not to fool people with trivial things, as he, Liu Minghui, only did big business.

Pianerye fell silent after hearing that, and the other two did not urge him and waited for him to think it over.

After a long time, Pianerye whispered, "We have as many of these as you want, but you have to go there and you are responsible for the transportation."

Seeing Liu Minghui's confused expression, he immediately explained it.

It turned out that the grain output in the Northeast was quite high this year. Pian'erye was a smart man and knew that grain was valuable only where it was needed. If it was in his place, he could only sell it to grain stores, and the price was not high. So after discussing with others, he was responsible for coming to Sijiu City to find a market.

"Oh, how many?"

Now Liu Minghui became interested. Judging from the situation, it should not be a small amount. If it was really a large amount of grain, Liu Minghui would of course accept it. As for the transportation problem, he could just ask Li Huaide.

"At least 10,000 kilograms of grain is available, but this is only in our commune. Our area is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no guarantee that other places will have it as well. It depends on you. I can take you there after you get there."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui understood. It turned out that it was the grain for the entire commune. This way he could really purchase it back. However, Liu Minghui still expressed some dissatisfaction.

"It's just this little bit, not enough."

Liu Minghui looked at Pianerye with pretended dissatisfaction. He didn't know how much it would cost to transport so much grain back. It was not cost-effective.
