The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

At the dinner table, Chen Xueru said to Liu Minghui: "Pianerye was looking for you before, are you familiar with him?"

Chen Xueru said this casually while not forgetting to feed the child.

Liu Minghui raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. It seemed that Pianerye and the others had already discussed it.

"Yes, we have some acquaintance. I'll go find them later."

Liu Minghui didn't say much.

After hearing this, Chen Xueru looked at her curiously, as if she was curious about their relationship.

Seeing Chen Xueru's curious expression, Liu Minghui smiled slightly and said, "I have a business deal to discuss."

The scene changed and Liu Minghui came to Niu Ye's house.

"Little Liu is here, come in and sit down."

When Uncle Niu opened the door and saw Liu Minghui, he immediately welcomed him in warmly.

Liu Minghui followed him in. Pian'erye was also there. When he saw Liu Minghui, he also said enthusiastically, "Chief Liu, you're here?"

Pianerye was very happy to see Liu Minghui, because he had been in Sijiu City for more than half a month. If he couldn't find a buyer, he would have to go back.

I can only say that he came at a bad time. After all, it was the end of the year and he couldn't find anyone he wanted to find.

"Pianerye, I heard you were looking for me, so here I come."

The three of them came into the house and sat down. Liu Minghui looked at Pian'erye curiously and asked, "I wonder if there's any result for what we talked about that day?"

Liu Minghui was talking about asking Pianerye to help him with the purchase of food, otherwise he didn't want to go to the Northeast for such a small amount.

"Don't worry about that. My son sent me a message saying there is plenty of food."

Upon hearing this, Pianerye spoke very seriously.

He really didn't lie. It was his son who sent the telegram saying that.

"That's fine. Then I can find someone to arrange transportation."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui said happily that only Pianerye's side had been dealt with, and the next step was for Li Huaide to take action.

With Li Huaide's connections, it wasn't difficult to find a train to transport the grain.

After hearing this, Uncle Niu, who was standing by, was also very happy.

"Then I'll leave it to you. My old friend has been very worried recently. After all, he has promised others that it will be troublesome if he can't sell it."

Of course, Pianerye's grain was not his own. Instead, he collected it in partnership with others and resold it to make a small profit from the difference.

"That's right, we have to settle this matter quickly. I don't know how much my son will charge."

Pianerye is still very anxious. You know, almost all his fortune is invested in this, especially since the grain harvest this year is pretty good. It is foreseeable that the value of the grain will drop in the future. It would be bad if it ended up in his hands.

"No problem. I'll go find our factory manager to make arrangements later. We still need his help with transportation."

Liu Minghui nodded when he heard this. Seeing that Pian'erye was so anxious, he didn't say anything else and planned to visit Li Huaide's house later.

After all, I haven’t gone to pay New Year’s greetings to Li Huaide since the New Year, so this is a good time to talk about this.

In the afternoon, after Liu Minghui left Chen Xueru's house, he did not return to the courtyard, but carried some things to the staff building of the steel rolling mill, where Li Huaide's family lived.

"Dong dong."

After knocking on the door, Li Huaide opened it.

"Boy, I thought you weren't coming."

Li Huaide opened the door and saw that it was Liu Minghui, and spoke with a joking look on his face.

You have to know that he is the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. All his subordinates would rush to come and wish him a happy new year, except Liu Minghui, who waited until the fourth day of the New Year to come.

"Hey, that's not true. You have a lot of guests recently, so I won't bother you."

"I just picked a quiet time to come here and wish you a happy new year."

Liu Minghui smiled bitterly when he heard this and handed the things he brought to Li Huaide.

"I came and brought things with me."

Li Huaide laughed and scolded when he saw this, then took the thing and casually put it on the table.

"This was brought to me by a friend. I thought I'd bring some over to try."

Liu Minghui didn't buy any expensive gifts, but brought a basket of strawberries. This kind of fruit is guaranteed to be the only one of its kind in the city, so it's not considered stingy.

"Oh, I'd like to see it."

When Li Huaide heard Liu Minghui say this, he became curious.

"Wow, you are so quiet, yet you still want this good thing. Your friend is not simple."

Li Huaide was also surprised when he saw that they were bright red strawberries.

Of course he knew this thing, but it was definitely not available in the city of Beijing now. Not to mention him, even his father-in-law's house could not find it.

Li Huaide immediately looked at Liu Minghui differently.

"Hey, it's just a little thing, Uncle Li, just keep it."

Liu Minghui said this with a smile, then picked up the teacup and poured himself some water.

I just came here in a hurry and I'm thirsty.

After drinking a glass of water, Liu Minghui said belatedly, "Hey, where's my aunt? Why isn't she at home?"

After hearing this, Li Huaide responded casually: "I went back to my mother's house, where a group of women kept me company."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui nodded, indicating that he understood.

Next, Li Huaide chatted with Liu Minghui about some things in the factory, or about the changes that might happen in the coming year.

After a long while, Liu Minghui finally said, "Uncle Li, you can't get a train to transport food."

Li Huaide was shocked when he heard this.

"This is really scary. How much food needs to be transported by train?"

Li Huaide raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Liu Minghui gave him such a surprise after not seeing him for a few days.

"Hey, not much, maybe just a few dozen tons."

Liu Minghui spoke with a calm expression, not realizing at all that his words had caused any kind of critical blow to Li Huaide.

"What, how much did you say?"

Now Li Huaide could no longer sit still and asked Liu Minghui loudly.

"Several dozen tons, that should be confirmed."

Liu Minghui nodded again to confirm. According to what Pian'erye said, there were at least 20 to 30 stews from the seven or eight communes combined. However, Liu Minghui also planned to add some ingredients and smuggle some out from his own space.

"Okay, okay, are you really sure about this? If it's true, I'll ask someone to send a train here right away."

Li Huaide was so excited that he could not sit still. He stood up and walked around, thinking about the surprise Liu Minghui had given him this time.

You know, this is not a trivial matter. Although he is responsible for the logistics of the steel rolling mill, he cannot decide on his own the expenditure of such a large sum of money. He needs to discuss it with Director Yang.

However, Li Huaide believed that no matter what Director Yang thought, there would be no accidents in this matter. After all, the steel rolling mill did not have enough food and would not let go of this batch of food.

"Of course, I have already made arrangements with them. Once the train arrives here, we can load the car there immediately."

Liu Minghui nodded solemnly. This was exactly what he had said to Pianerye. The other party was responsible for transporting the goods to the station and loading them onto the truck.

"Okay, I'll discuss this with Director Yang right away. You should get ready and set off early tomorrow morning to make this happen."

Li Huaide started making phone calls immediately and also gave Liu Minghui a task.
