The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

First

Not long after, Qin Huairu prepared dinner, and the seven people, four adults and three children, sat together.

After Mother Qin came out of the kitchen, Father Qin looked at her inquiringly.

Seeing this, Qin's mother nodded slightly, indicating that Qin Huairu agreed. Only then did Qin's father smile.

Qin's father had not planned to come to see Qin Huairu before. It was because the injustice he suffered at the Jia family last time was too great and he could never forget it. If it were not for Qin's mother's persuasion, he would have come to the city.

"Dad, Mom, let's eat first and stay overnight before leaving."

After sitting down, Qin Huairu said to Qin's father and mother.

The roads were difficult to travel on at night, and Qin Huairu could not let her parents leave the city in the middle of the night.

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to get close to these little guys."

After hearing this, Qin's father happily agreed.

Jia Zhang curled her lips in disdain.

"Why do you want to eat so well when entertaining poor relatives?"

Jia Zhang looked at the food on the table and thought unhappily that if it wasn't for the sake of saving face, she would have wanted to scold Qin Huairu.

No one cared about the relatives coming to the Jia family. It was very cold at night and no one wanted to come out to see them. Everyone was warming themselves by the fire at home. Who would have the heart to watch a show?

"Take the child to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow. I'll go to Xiao'e's place."

After finishing his meal, Liu Minghui said to Yu Li.

Yu Li heard what Liu Minghui was going to do, so she nodded and agreed.

"Okay, go by yourself tomorrow."

The next day, Liu Minghui arrived at Hong Kong Island through space early in the morning, and the exit happened to be Lou Xiao'e's residence.

"You want to scare people to death, but you didn't even tell me in advance."

Liu Minghui's sudden appearance almost scared Lou Xiaoe.

"Hey, this is a surprise for you."

Liu Minghui said this with a grin, and then asked Lou Xiao'e to get him some clothes, intending to change his cotton-padded jacket.

The temperature in Hong Kong Island is much warmer than in Beijing. He quickly took off his cotton-padded jacket.

"It's much warmer here in Hong Kong Island, unlike in the old city, where you can still feel cold even if you wrap yourself up in clothes."

Liu Minghui sighed and took the clothes that Lou Xiaoe handed to her and put them on.

"Come on, if you don't come, I'm going to send a message to Dad to find you."

Lou Xiao'e looked at him unhappily, and then explained to Liu Minghui.

"Our supermarket is doing very good business right now, and many people are asking about it."

Hearing this, Liu Minghui looked at Lou Xiaoe in confusion and asked, "What are you asking about? Is it about the channel of goods?"

Liu Minghui thought that he could only ask about this. After all, the things produced in the space were much better than those outside. At least they were fresher and tasted better.

"Well, there have been several groups of people coming here recently, all trying to find out where our supermarket gets its goods from."

Lou Xiao'e has been very busy recently, mainly because business is too good. Although she has a lot of people under her, Lou Xiao'e still has to calculate the expenses herself every day.

Now, after school every day, Lou Xiao'e still needs to spend an hour or two in the supermarket, which seriously compresses her study time.

"And they also asked our employees about it."

Lou Xiao'e certainly took a laissez-faire attitude towards this. After all, all the goods were delivered by Liu Minghui, and the warehouse was located very close to the port, giving people the feeling that they were imported.

"Tsk tsk, let them guess about this."

Liu Minghui was not too surprised by this. After all, if he couldn't get the answer from Lou Xiaoe, people would naturally ask someone else, and the supermarket employees were a good starting point.

"Let's go, let's go to the supermarket today."

Liu Minghui said this and went out with Lou Xiaoe.

"Don't push, don't push, line up."

When he arrived at the supermarket, Liu Minghui saw a crowd of people pushing in, and there were staff members maintaining order.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui looked at Lou Xiaoe and asked, "Are there usually so many people here?"

Liu Minghui was very confused about this because he had been here before and had never seen so many people.

Lou Xiao'e immediately shook her head and explained, "It's because it's the New Year, so there are more talents."

Only then did Liu Minghui nod in understanding. There was indeed a reason for this. It would be terrible if the place was always packed with people every day.

"Boss, hello, boss lady."

As Liu Minghui and his companion entered, a young girl came over and greeted them.

"This is Qiu Yan, my new store manager."

Lou Xiao'e pointed at the person who came and introduced him.

"Ah hello."

Liu Minghui smiled and greeted him when he heard this.

"Boss, there are a lot of customers today. I'll take you to the office to rest."

As Qiu Yan spoke, she led the visitor upstairs.

When they arrived at the office, Lou Xiao'e asked Qiu Yan to go down and get busy. After all, she was still responsible for inspecting the supermarket, so there was no need for her to accompany her here.

"Our supermarket makes more money than my brother's small factory."

After sitting down, Lou Xiao'e held the account book and said with a smile, a money-grubbing expression showing on her face from time to time.

"You didn't count the cost."

Seeing this, Liu Minghui said unhappily that although the cost could indeed be ignored, one couldn't think that way.

"Hehe, of course I'll do this in private, but I'll pay attention to it publicly."

Lou Xiao'e explained fluently that even without Liu Minghui's reminder, she knew to raise the cost a little bit, after all, she still had to pay taxes every month.

In the courtyard, Qin Huairu cooked a pot of cornmeal porridge early in the morning. After Qin's father and mother finished eating, they left.

"Let's go, don't see me off. Your brother will be getting married tomorrow. If you have time, come back and meet him."

Qin's father walked in front, leaving Qin's mother to talk to Qin Huairu.

"Mom, forget about going back. We still have to go to work."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu immediately refused with a wry smile.

She is not stupid. If she goes back, she will buy something for her brother. She will at least give him a gift. Qin Huairu doesn't want to spend money now.

After all, she had just given Qin's mother three dollars, and Qin Huairu was feeling distressed at the moment.

After hearing this, Qin's mother also knew what Qin Huairu was planning. She sighed and said, "It's up to you, but don't forget to let your family know if there's anything good. It would be best if you can find a job for your brother."

Qin's mother couldn't help but be a little greedy and thought how nice it would be if her son had a job.

Qin Huairu could only remain silent about this. Qin's mother was really wishful thinking. She wanted to find a job. Now the quota for temporary workers has been raised to 300 yuan. How could such a good thing happen to her?

"Mom, you better go back quickly. I still have to go back to clean the house."

Qin Huairu wanted to send her mother away as soon as possible. Who knew if she continued talking, would her mother try to take over her job?

"Okay, okay, your dad and I are leaving. Remember to come home when you have time."

After Qin's mother finished speaking, she and Qin's father left the courtyard, leaving Qin Huairu standing at the door watching them go away.
