Chapter 66: The Director's Aunt's Visit
Xu Huizhen's meaningful gaze glanced at Cai Quanwu, Cai Quanwu nodded his head in understanding, Xu Huizhen immediately regained his confidence when he saw this, and the hearty laughter sounded again.
"I, Xu Huizhen, have always said the same, since I dare to write it, I must admit it! Everyone is more than welcome to come and cheer me on tomorrow. Even if you only come to buy a salted duck egg, you can also take away 20 catties of first-class Chinese cabbage at the market price, if I can't get it out of my own pocket, then I will pay out of my own pocket to invite him to drink wine for free for a year! ”
"Oh~Oh!"
"Shopkeeper Xu, be angry!"
"Drink for nothing?"
"Xu Huizhen, you said it yourself! And the big guys have heard it with their own ears, and if you can't get a full pound of first-class cabbage tomorrow, you will have to give me a year's worth of wine for free. The middle-aged man with rabbit lips got up from the bench excitedly and stared at Xu Huizhen.
"Yes, I said that!" Xu Huizhen replied very crisply.
"Haha, then what kind of wine do I want to drink here, I'll go home now to do mobilization, we'll see you tomorrow!" The middle-aged man with rabbit lips took the wine cup on the table and drank it down, laughing and leaving the tavern.
The rest of the lively customers in the house were reminded by the middle-aged man with rabbit lips, and they all left, and the tavern immediately became empty, as if it had been cleared.
Niu Ye was originally a little drunk, but after a drunken episode just now, he almost woke up, and he was still a little worried that Xu Huizhen really said something big this time.
Good guys, the number of customers who just left is not a small number.
"Huizhen, do you really have so many first-class cabbages in your hands?"
"I counted it just now, a total of twenty-three people left, according to the calculation of 400 catties per family, at least 9,000 catties of cabbage are needed, which is not a small amount." Mr. Xu reported his rough calculation of the amount of Chinese cabbage.
"Nine, nine thousand catties?" He Yumei exclaimed.
"Don't worry, it's enough, right? None. Xu Huizhen looked at Cai Quanwu and said confidently.
"Well, the latest batch of bok choy has just arrived." Cai Quan didn't respond and made a gesture at Xu Huizhen.
"You husband and wife are playing dumb riddles here again, haha, since you know in your hearts, I won't talk much." Niu Ye saw that Cai Quanwu, who had always been steady, and said that there was no problem, so he was not worried.
When Mr. Xu saw that Niu Ye had said this, he also felt that his statement just now was a betrayal of Xu Huizhen's favor, so he raised his wine cup and drank it, raised his hand and left.
Since Xu Hui is really so confident, he will definitely not dislike another one.
When Mr. Xu opened the curtain and went out, Xu Huizhen immediately pulled Cai Quanwu to the back of the counter and asked in detail about the process of picking up food tonight. Cai Quanwu told the story, Xu Huizhen listened to the eyebrows flying, and said it several times in a row.
"Yumei, I haven't gone home with me, and there shouldn't be any guests coming to the tavern, so lock the door and get off work when the time comes." Xu Huizhen was urged by Cai Quanwu to tell He Yumei to stick to her post.
"Sister Huizhen, you can go back with confidence, there will definitely be no problems with me." He Yumei nodded in response.
Xu Huizhen said hello to Niu Ye again, strode out of the tavern with Cai Quanwu, and the two turned into the alley and returned home without walking a few steps. 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 entire Dashilar tomorrow.
Xu Hui was really happy, but Li Tong, who was sitting in the hall, was like an ant on a hot pot, uncomfortable no matter how he sat down, and from time to time he would look up at the hour hand of the table clock.
As soon as school got out of school today, Li Tong still followed Xu Jingli in the direction of Qianmen Street, but he broke away from the team near Beiyanhe Street halfway, and before leaving, he specially instructed Xu Jingli to hurry up and let her father Cai Quanwu drive to the old place to pull vegetables after arriving home twice.
A few minutes after Li Tong moved the cabbage out of the virtual space, with the familiar sudden sound, Cai Quanwu appeared at the street corner with a tractor with a red nose and a green body, and there were five strong men with big shoulders and round waists sitting in the car.
More than 15,000 catties of vegetables, if only one person holds the shoulder, it is enough to choke for a day.
Fortunately, Cai Quanwu invited three strong laborers, and also prepared the trolley and the wooden plank to act as a ramp in advance, and the six of them easily loaded the cabbage into the car in less than thirty minutes.
After the tractor drove to Xu's house, because the cabbage had to be weighed again, the time dragged on a little longer, and it took nearly an hour to unload.
At this time, the hour hand of the table clock had already crossed the 6 o'clock directly below, and the minute hand had already crossed the number 10, officially announcing that Li Tong had broken the rules he had set.
As soon as Xu Huizhen entered the house, she gave Li Tong a warm hug: "Three boys, you have helped Aunt Xu a lot this time, you haven't eaten dinner yet, I'll ask Uncle Cai to steam a fish for you." ”
Li Tong shook his head and refused: "I won't eat dinner, I have to go back to sweep the yard quickly, the time has passed." ”
"Since you are in a hurry, wait for Uncle Cai to send you to the bus stop at the intersection, remember to take the No. 9 bus first, wait until you get to the Nanyanhe platform and then transfer to the No. 8 bus, and sit until you get off at Luoguxiang to your house." Xu Huizhen also saw the anxious look on Li Tong's face, and after a few words, she turned around and returned to the house, took out an iron box from the drawer of the desk, took out a stack of bundled paper tickets from it, added a little more, and returned to the hall and handed it to Li Tong.
"Here is the remaining balance of 322 yuan, but you must put it away so as not to be stolen."
"Well, then Aunt Xu, I'll go home first." Li Tong didn't count, and directly put a bundle of paper tickets into his schoolbag, jumped down from the chair and said goodbye to Xu Huizhen, and then went to the yard to find Cai Quanwu, who was still sorting out the cabbage.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the station."
Cai Quanwu touched Li Tong's head and said, he heard what Li Tong and Xu Huizhen said in the house, he felt that the matter of eating could be postponed, and the most important thing was for a manly man to keep his promise.
The bus with a big gas bag gradually moved away, and Cai Quanwu returned home slowly, and suddenly found that the director of the neighborhood committee didn't know when she came to the house.
"Huizhen, where did you get so many such good mussels and cabbage?" The director's aunt asked with her eyes shining and patting the knotted cabbage.
"This is not thanks to the help of the production team in Fangshan, you also know how difficult it is for my tavern to increase revenue, I won Fan Jinyou this time and relied on this batch of cabbage." Xu Huizhen said the excuse that she had thought of a long time ago
"Don't mention Fan Jinyou to me again, he's about to lose the face of our streets!" As soon as the director's aunt heard Xu Huizhen say Fan Jinyou, her face immediately turned blue.
"What did he do again?" Xu Huizhen was surprised.
At this time, Cai Quanwu just entered the house, Xu Huizhen immediately glanced at him and motioned for him to go out first, the director mother saw it and waved her hand and said: "Quan Wu is not an outsider, this matter can't be hidden if you want to, and it's good to be mentally prepared if you know it in advance." ”
