167 Welcome to Send

Of course, Lu Li didn't know what happened to Xu Yunjian. He stayed in Pengcheng for one more day and went to Liu Zhan's home again before leaving. Unlike the construction of Yangcheng's city, Pengcheng was really behind in this regard. Liu Zhan was the leader, but he was squeezed into a small house less than six square meters with his wife. He was from Hunan Province and was transferred to Pengcheng to participate in the construction of this rapidly developing city. The children and parents were all staying in their hometown.

The environment in the residential area is indescribable. Not to mention that it is not as dirty and messy as Hong Kong, it is far from Hong Kong, even compared with Tianjin. There are low bungalows everywhere, and sewage is everywhere - there are no municipal projects here, and there are no sewers! The most annoying thing is that there are no public toilets, which are actually there, but the distance is very far! With the location of Liu Zhan’s family, it takes five or six minutes to ride a bicycle if you want to go to the toilet. But Mrs. Liu doesn’t know how to ride a bicycle. Every morning, no matter how late Liu Zhan slept, she has to get up early and send his wife to the bathroom.

As for domestic sewage, it is convenient to treat it. Just splash it on the dirt road at the door. The result of this is that mosquitoes breed. Hanging a mosquito net and lighting a mosquito fragrance is useless. It makes people complain, but they don’t think of a solution.

In such a small environment, it has become difficult to entertain guests. Fortunately, the weather in the south is pleasant, so I set up a square table at the door of the house and took two benches. Mrs. Liu made tea and cigarettes for them, and served them busy, "Auntie, don't be busy with me. You have to work for a day, have a rest?"

Mrs. Liu and her husband are both from Hunan Province. She has no job and takes it completely as her responsibility to take care of her husband and raise children. This time she came to Pengcheng, and she also had the same purpose. Fortunately, the city has a lot of cadres like Liu Zhan, and there are many people and Pengcheng lacks supplies, so she can solve all three meals a day at the office, saving her a lot of trouble, "Well, Xiao Lu, look, you can come here rarely. I originally meant to make some dishes from our hometown. This... is not prepared at all."

"It's okay, aunt, I finished eating at the guesthouse. And I can't stay for a long time, I'll have to go back in a while."

Liu Zhan waved his hand and signaled his wife to go into the house. He turned his head and looked at it. He couldn't help but sigh, "Did you see it? People like me live in this area. But that's fine. Whether you know or not, you can talk or chat at night. In a flash, the day will pass."

"Director Liu, don't worry. The situation in Pengcheng seems to be very bad now. But I think it will become more and more prosperous and lively in the future. When I was watching TV last year, I heard that the country is preparing to strengthen its investment in urban construction. For example, you and the people living around you will be veterans of urban construction in the future!"

"This little comrade is right." A man next to him suddenly interrupted; the two looked up and Liu Zhan stood up, "Oh, Lao Wang. Please sit down and talk, sit down and talk? Xiao Lu, let me introduce you to this, Director Wang, the newly formed public utility bureau in the city."

The two shook hands and sat down, "I haven't seen this young comrade before. Has he been transferred in recently?"

"No, you guessed it wrong this time." Liu Zhan said with a smile: "This is mine... Well, my friend, Xiao Lu, named Lu Li, from Tian (Jin)."

"It's a good place! The bottom of Jiuhe River! It's just that if you stay away from home, you're also transferred here?"

Lu Li smiled unanimously and said to Director Wang: "You are the first to know the place when you hear me. Many people I met are oh, oh, oh, after a long time, I had to explain in the end, to know where the Tianjin (Jin) Wei is."

When the two of them heard his humorous speech, they couldn't help laughing. "Tianjin (Tianjin) Wei is a big place, one of the municipalities directly under the central government, and there are only three in the country."

Liu Zhan asked, "Xiao Lu, how many days can you stay here?"

"You can't stay here anymore, I'll go back tomorrow. Let's see you and your aunt before leaving."

"Hey, you young man, you really have a heart." Liu Zhan smiled movedly, with unconcealed admiration between his eyebrows, "I always think about us and my husband. Thank you."

"This is what it should be." Lu Li said a few politely, stopped staying at home, and stood up and said goodbye, "Then, Director Liu, I may be back in about a week, and I will come to see you again. Look, do you have anything to do? The market there is richer after all,..."

Liu Zhan shook his head and waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's not easy for you. But don't, Xiao Lu, listen to me, don't buy anything. I'm so happy if you can come."

Lu Li smiled and nodded, approached him a little, and said, "Director Liu, I mentioned him about that... Brother Rong last time. You can forgive him for how many years he is younger than you."

Liu Zhan's smile was stagnant, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Judging from his appearance, he was obviously complaining in his heart, "Come on, it depends on your Xiao Lu's face. This matter will be over!"

Lu Li clasped his hands together and thanked him endlessly, "Then, Director Liu, I'm leaving, see you back."

After leaving Director Liu's house, Lu Li left Pengcheng and returned to Hong Kong. He took a minibus to get off near Dajiao Street in Kowloon City. Before he could enter the hot pot restaurant, he heard a noise inside, "...This won't work, Uncle Cai, I agreed at the beginning, and now you suddenly have to change your mind, and I can't make the decision."

"Big nephew, don't I know you can't make the decision? I came over with an old face, that is, I asked you to talk to Lu Sheng carefully. This is not OK? You don't give me face."

"Uncle Cai, eating alone is not fat, why do you have to eat them all by yourself? Are you not afraid of bloating your belly?"

"It's my own whether it's swelling or not. Just say something, will you help me?"

"Uncle Cai, it's useless for me to help you. I have to come back to this matter. I'll find out after asking him."

"You're done, my eldest nephew, who doesn't know that you and Lu Sheng are good partners?" Wei Laicai still said in a tone of reluctance, "Big nephew, you have helped me in this matter. I will definitely benefit you from the future. How about it?"

"Uncle Cai, what are you talking about? Who are you treating me as?" Cao Xun changed color suddenly, pulled his arm back hard, turned around and left, "Uncle Cai, you'd better wait for him to come back. Anyway, I'll just bring you words to him. Whether it's OK or not, I have to listen to him."

Wei Laicai muttered a few words a bit, and he felt very dissatisfied. He didn't expect that this mainland boy was so indifferent to the salt. He said a lot of good things, but he couldn't work. If he hadn't known that he and Lu Li were closest to each other, who would have given up his face and asked for help in a low voice? He stood up for a while, turned around and was about to leave, and just saw Lu Li step in, "Lu Sheng?"

"Uncle Cai, it's early." Lu Li listened to a few words at the door, already knowing some of the general reasons, and as if he didn't know, he smiled and greeted him warmly.

Wei Laicai's eyes rolled. He laughed and took a few steps, "Lu Sheng, why did you come back so late this time? Is it okay to eat and stay there?"

"Fortunately, thank you, remember me."

"Of course I have to remember, of course I have to remember." Wei Laicai said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Lu Sheng, the vegetables I brought back this time. You can't imagine how fast it was sold! I told you that in less than 12 hours, I let Jiulongyuan family take them all away! I came here this time and I gave you the money, oh, all of them to the shop's friend. Ah Xun, right?"

Cao Xun nodded with a wry smile. "Brother Li, it's a total of 9,083.52 Hong Kong dollars, and it's all handed over."

"Sold out so soon? Uncle Cai, it seems that these vegetables are very popular?"

Wei Laicai wrote his face full of joy that could not be concealed. He held Lu Li's hand in vain and pressed it on a chair, "I just told Ah Xun that I am not afraid of trouble, I will tell you again. Haha!"

Lu Li chuckled and nodded. He could understand Wei Laicai's extremely happy mentality and was waiting for him with amusement.

The person Wei Laicai was looking for was called Tunqi. He didn't even know the real name of this person, but everyone called him that, so he became his name. He is one of the largest restaurants in Hong Kong, the so-called chef of Kowloon Garden. One of the focus of his work is to go to seafood, vegetable and fruit markets in Hong Kong, Kowloon, New Territories, Yuen Long and other places every day to select the varieties he likes; if any stall or intermediary can get his recognition, the business will be very easy to do on this day; vice versa.

Hong Kong people pay attention to diet. For example, big restaurants like Kowloon Garden also have people like Tengqi, who are specifically responsible for purchasing various raw materials, including durian, betel nut, cuttle roe in Taiwan; mangosteen, pineapple, coconut in Malaysia; grouper head or red snapper head in Singapore, etc., and almost everything is included. The funds flowing out through his hands every day is as high as 100,000.

A person who is so important in the Hong Kong diet industry has a very unpleasant appearance. Tengqi has a face like a dry orange peel, a pair of fiery eyes that cry in the wind, wears a pair of bronze toad sunglasses with wide edges all year round, and a noble style that ignores everyone.

Wei Laicai and Tunqi can only be said to know each other, but they are not even friends. The identities of the two are too different. In terms of Tunqi, he is a person who is almost everyone in Hong Kong who wants to win over this bowl of rice. If he sees such things, he will naturally not take them seriously. When he receives a call from Wei Laicai, he doesn't take it seriously. When he is over the work of the day, he forgets all this person and leaves Wei Laicai aside.

Wei Laicai's family waited until after eight o'clock, but he didn't see him coming and could not find him by phone. So he knew that he might have forgotten that Tunqi had a lot of criminal record in this regard, and others couldn't afford to mess with him, so he could only secretly complain. Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Laicai had to go out and call a taxi and find Tunqi's home in the depths of Jardine House in Causeway Bay.

There was only one person living in the countryside of Yuen Long that I brought from Yuen Long to take care of his daily life. I woke up at night and naturally I wouldn’t be in a good mood. But I saw it clearly that it was Wei Laicai and thought that he had broken the appointment before, so there was no need to mention it, “It’s Cai Ji, what’s the awesome thing? I have to let you come so late?”

"Brother Qi, it's not an important matter. I don't dare to disturb Brother Qi's rest so late, right?" Wei Laicai said with a smile: "Look, I asked the taxi to wait at the door. Do you go and have a look?"

"What are you looking at? It's so late, won't it be tomorrow? I promise I'll go tomorrow morning."

"No, Brother Qi, I'm here, let's go." Wei Laicai said without hesitation, half forced him to pull him into the car and drove back to the Caiji he drove. Although it was already evening, Tengqi was still wearing sunglasses that he never left. He felt helpless and pulled Wei Laicai into the warehouse. He pushed open the door, and a cold air came to his face. He unconsciously avoided a step, "Caiji, are you looking for me to see your warehouse?"

"Yes. Not really. Brother Qi, I just came back from the north today..."

"North? What's the North..." Teng Qi was stunned, but quickly realized, "Have you gone to the mainland?"

Wei Laicai nodded and raised his thumbs up, "Brother Qi, there is nothing faster than your brain. Come on, I'll take you to see what I've shipped from the mainland..." He twisted the lights in the warehouse. The neatly arranged vegetables came into his eyes, "Brother Qi, how about it? You want to say that it's not better than Liu Quanji's things. My Caiji will close the door from today. How about it?"

Tengqi was not as excited as him, and walked into the warehouse with a sneer. He took a few steps and picked up a ball of lettuce. He looked carefully in his hand. The things were indeed good. He said in his heart. The lettuce was crystal green and crystal clear, like a piece of emerald agate filled with moisture. He lifted a leaf. He pinched it with his hands, and the crisp and slight cracking sound was clearly heard.

Break off one piece and look at the light. The leaves are very thin and have an attractive gloss. Both of them are old experts in this field. You can see from the above points that this is a very fresh and high-level variety.

"How is it, Brother Qi, the things are good, right?"

"It's just that. You have it here, but Liu Quanji doesn't have it?" said Teng Qi.

"Yes, if you want to talk about this lettuce, he may have it. Look at the next one, especially the green onions transported from Shandong Province. Look at it, Liu Quan... Don't talk about him, even if there is a second one in Hong Kong, I will close the door and stop working!"

There was no expression on Tengqi's face - in fact, even if he showed something, he was hiding behind the large sunglasses lenses - he took the green onion from Caiji. This was indeed a variety different from the green onion. It had plump branches and leaves, fair and long, blue and white, tender, and looked very cute. He leaned under his nose and smelled it, and a scent of fragrant and spicy smell.

Wei Laicai looked at him with a blind eye and asked with a smile: "Brother Qi, tell me the truth, how are you doing?"

Tengqi thought for a while and said, "It's just this Shangkan, and the rest are nothing more than Er."

"Brother Seven, you have to put your mind right. The things I have come here from all over the mainland. Can't you tell me?"

The eyes of Tengqi, hidden behind the lens, flipped, "You said I was not right? Caiji, are you talking to me?"

Wei Laicai was startled and shook his head, "No, no, no, no, no, that's not what it means, Brother Qi, who doesn't know that Brother Qi is the most honest and upright person, has a manpower of more than one hundred thousand, and has never made a mistake? Hehe, this is what everyone in the industry knows,..."

Tengqi glared at him fiercely and walked out of the warehouse. Wei Laicai followed him and took him into the taxi, and asked, "Brother Qi, do you see?"

"You will send these things to me later, and I will let Lao Ma wait for you."

"Hey, hey!" Wei Laicai agreed loudly, and kept bowing, "I'll do it right away, I'll do it right away! But, Brother Qi, in terms of price..., do you think?"

Tengqi gave him a blank look and pulled up the car door, "Who doesn't know that Tengqi's teeth are used as gold? Don't worry, I won't cheat your money."

Speaking of this, Wei Laicai stopped telling and smiled at Lu Li, who was so obsessed with hearing it, "Big nephew, I asked Brother Qi later, these dishes were used as signature dishes in Jiulongyuan. ** His old mother is actually pretending to me!"

Luli smiled and asked, "Significant dish?"

"Isn't that? Let's talk about silver sprouts. Without good mandarin fish and silver sprouts, it's impossible to make it. Even if you have such things, it depends on the quality. There are also raw materials such as onion and conch, abalone juice and fish lips, which are all good green onions and vegetable hearts. It's not that they couldn't make them, but now with the fresh ingredients shipped this time, the dishes that were already available have been re-launched! Of course, the price is even higher and higher. **You old mother, we have worked hard and made money for them."

Seeing his gritted teeth, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Uncle Cai, this kind of thing is like this. As long as you think it's appropriate, it's enough. How can you be so cute?"

"satisfying?"

"It means satisfaction."

Wei Laicai said a few times, expressing his understanding, and then asked, "Lu Sheng, the more than one ton of vegetables shipped this time will be gone in a blink of an eye. When will we go next time?"

************************************************

Lu Li said a few perfunctorily, sent Wei Laicai away, turned his head and hit Cao Xun's eyes full of inquisitiveness, "I said, where is Xu Yunjian? He hasn't come back with you?"

"No, he has something to do, and he went to Yangcheng with Brother Rong."

"I don't really want to find a partner there, right?" Cao Xun laughed, "You don't follow me and check it out for him? By the way, Wei Tieliang hasn't come back for several days. Are you going to have a look?"

Lu Li was stunned and blurted out a sentence: "Oh no, I forgot it all!"
