Seeing that there were a lot of people gathered in front of Xia Ran, she didn't go in and sat at the door for a while. Not long after, Li Mingzhu, Cheng Lu, Zhao Ruru and others also arrived.

Xia Ran called Wang Zhiqiang, who was not very busy at the moment, to take care of this area, and then he freed himself up.

Xia Ran looked at the flower baskets lined up at the door. She thought there were no such things as flower baskets these days, so she didn't prepare any in advance. She didn't expect that they were available now. It seemed that she had taken it for granted.

There was inevitably another round of greetings among the group, and Xia Ran finally took them directly to the shed in the backyard.

Fortunately, here, apart from some vermicelli, flour, rice, etc., the rest is mostly empty. There is also a large dining table inside, which is used for cutting and washing vegetables and eating.

There were plenty of stools, so Xia Ran asked everyone to sit down, made a few cups of tea for everyone, put out some of the snacks that had been prepared earlier, and washed some apples for everyone to eat.

They were all familiar with each other, so they were not polite. They were not very interested in snacks, so they just took the apples and started eating. "I have to say, your apples are really delicious."

"Yes, yes, yes. I like it too."

"My parents heard that I came to your place, so they specifically asked me to buy some to take home. My family members all said it was delicious."

"Yeah, same thing. I'm here with a mission as well."

Everyone was commenting as they ate, and all of them were praising the apples.

Finally, they naturally talked about their unit's New Year's goods. Tomorrow when they go to work, someone will come over specifically to help with the purchase of New Year's goods.

Xia Ran was also very happy, and nodded in response, "Welcome, welcome, the things are all good, but my prices are not low, I wonder if your company can accept it."

Li Mingzhu asked directly: "Just now when I was at the door, I heard a lot of people saying it was expensive. I wonder how expensive it was?"

Xia Ran quoted the prices one by one, and was immediately greeted with sighs, "Xia Ran, your things are really not cheap, many of them are doubled, and more than doubled."

Xia Ran admitted directly that it was expensive to begin with. "Yes, it is indeed expensive. All these goods are shipped from the northwest. The freight is expensive, and the loss on the road is another huge sum of money. The total cost is very high. If we sell them at normal prices, we will lose a lot of money. But fortunately, these things are unique in Shanghai in terms of quality and scarcity, so we don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. I have signed a contract with a restaurant to supply them with goods on a long-term basis. So, I am not worried about sales."

It is true that it is expensive, but Xia Ran feels that these things should be expensive. This can be considered as a way to screen customers, and those who are willing will take the bait.

"Indeed, apart from anything else, apples are delicious enough. I used to think apples were just so-so. I didn't think they were so delicious, nor did I think they were so unpalatable. I would eat them if I had them, and never missed them if I didn't have them. But ever since I ate the apples you sent me, I can't stop thinking about them. So, the price is not expensive and suitable. There is no shortage of rich people in Shanghai," Cheng Lu said. As for things, it is like this. If you have money, you can eat high-quality food, and if you don't have money, you can eat ordinary food.

Chen Jin spoke directly, "Your quality is indeed excellent, it's worth the price, it's not expensive."

Others might not know the quality of this stuff, but she knew it. Except for the New Year's goods that Xia Ran reserved for her and Chen Mingli, the rest were shared by their families, and no one who had eaten it said it was not delicious.

Everyone says that the meat, apples and rice are very good, so I guess the other things are also good. Her family hasn’t had time to eat the vermicelli yet.

"Yeah, I agree. I also think it's worth the price. Sister Xia, is the meat stewed in the big pot at the door yours?" Li Mingzhu asked. The smell was so delicious that she tried to hold it back for a while, but still couldn't help asking.

"Yes, it's stewed beef and mutton. We'll have it for lunch. We've also ordered other dishes so we can eat them together when the time comes."

"Great! I smelled a delicious aroma when I was at the door just now. We are in for a treat today. I thought you were going to sell cooked meat."

"No, I stewed it specially for everyone. Selling cooked meat is too troublesome, and I have to apply for a lot of certificates. I don't have the patience to sell it. Well, don't worry, I stewed two big pots, with pure meat and bones. Eat whatever you like."

"That's a good feeling."

Then everyone took out the gifts they had prepared. Some gave silk scarves, some gave shawls, some gave beautiful hats, and some gave perfumes. No one came empty-handed.

Before they finished chatting, firecrackers were heard at the door again. Chen Mingli arrived with a group of people from the unit. Those who came had all dealt with Xia Ran to some extent, such as Zhu Tong and Qin Gang.

Li Shuangqiang brought them in, and now there were even more people. Fortunately, we bought a lot of spare plastic stools. Otherwise, there would be nowhere to sit.

Zhu Tong, Qin Gang and others had originally strolled in nonchalantly, but when they took a closer look, they saw that they were all beauties.

Now I didn't know where to put my hands and feet. I miscalculated, I miscalculated. I didn't expect there would be so many beauties here. If I had known it would be like this, I would have packed myself up before coming here.

The joining of several men made Li Mingzhu, Cheng Lu and others feel a little restrained and uncomfortable at first.

But when they heard Chen Jin's introduction, they found out that they were all acquaintances. Chen Jin's younger brother and colleagues were also roughly equivalent to their younger brothers. They felt relieved instantly.

When I heard the name of the unit, I had even less concerns.

Plus, people who do their job are good at speaking and can be the cool ones whenever they want to, so everyone started chatting right away.

Xia Ran prepared a few more plates of apples and snacks, brought them up, and placed a few more packs of cigarettes next to them.

Xia Ran specifically emphasized: "If you smoke daily, you can put the cigarettes in your pocket and take them away, just don't smoke here." She didn't want to inhale secondhand smoke, not to mention there were so many beauties around.

"Boss Xia, you are so good. Then we won't be polite," Zhu Tong said jokingly. What a generous person, Huazi.

"That's right, Boss Xia. We originally wanted to help you gain popularity, but we found out that you don't lack popularity. You are already very popular," Qin Gang said.

Xia Ran smiled and said, "Then let's make it even more popular. Who would complain about being popular? Come on, eat whatever you like. Eat some first. Lunch will have to wait a little longer, so let them stew for a while longer."

Others have weekends off, but these people may not. They may have just returned from a busy day.

"Then we won't be polite. We are really hungry." Speaking of food, they didn't bother to pretend. They were really hungry. They had just finished dealing with things and hadn't had time to eat.

Although it was a bit unkind to eat a lot in front of a beautiful woman, they were really hungry, and what Xia Ran's food looked good.

Just now when I was at the door, the smell of meat at the door made my stomach growl.
