The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Hey, Li Wenqiang, you didn't come here to tease the waiter for no reason, did you? Aren't you afraid that Xu Huizhen will come after you later?"

Fan Jinyou said this with a smile on his face and his eyes sparkling. One could tell at a glance that he had a lot of evil ideas in his mind and didn't know what they were up to.

"Come with me. I want to ask you something. You recently sold vegetables from here to the families of the people in the neighborhood office. What was their reaction?"

Li Wenqiang called him outside and asked.

"The family members' reactions are quite positive, but it would be better if the price could be lowered a little bit."

Fan Jinyou smiled and said.

He has been living a comfortable life recently, and it was the first time he knew how easy it was to make money. Every morning he would take 100 to 200 kilograms of vegetables from the tavern and sell them to the families of the street office leaders for a dime.

Not only does he earn more than ten yuan a day, but even his leaders praise him for his ability to get things done. It will probably not be long before he can become the official manager of the tavern again.

"Who asked about your family? I was asking about what's going on at the street office! You probably don't know, Xu Huizhen told me that the director came to her and asked if she could leave some food for the street office leaders. Even if I don't tell you, you know what this means, right?"

Li Wenqiang didn't play tricks on him and told him the truth directly. He believed that he had tasted enough sweetness these days and if he was smart, he should stand on his side.

"What? The director is going to talk to Xu Huizhen about the vegetable supply? When? How come I didn't know?"

Fan Jinyou suddenly panicked. If Xu Huizhen was asked to supply vegetables from the street office in the future, who would he sell his vegetables to?

Selling to leaders can be seen as helping each other among colleagues, and no one would say anything. But if he sells to ordinary people, it would be undermining the unified purchase and sale and engaging in speculation. As a public servant, he knowingly broke the law, which is an even greater crime.

"Don't worry about when she came. Just know that this matter is not good for you! Let me ask you a question. Who is in charge of the street office in Daqianmen now?"

Li Wenqiang looked at Fan Jinyou and asked, to be honest, it has been so long, he still hasn't really dealt with the official staff. One reason is that he is afraid of trouble, and the other is that there is nothing to do with them. Now that they have come to him, he naturally has to go and make some acquaintances.

There are two reasons why Xu Huizhen has been selling vegetables for so long without any trouble. First, her tavern was one of the first business units to actively apply for public-private partnership, which served as a flagpole for others.

Second, the vegetables in the tavern can solve the food problem of many people and alleviate the social crisis. Don’t think that there are no poor people here, there are still many people who are hungry and can’t afford to eat.

Now she is helping the government solve problems, but it will be hard to say when someone else is looking for trouble. The director is just the director of the neighborhood committee and has no say. He still has to go to the street office for this matter. It is better to go to the head of the street office to solve it all at once.

"Why do you want to see the person in charge of our street office?"

Fan Jinyou inquired curiously.

"Why do you have so much to say? I don't have time to waste on you. Just tell me your director's name!"

Li Wenqiang frowned.

The difference between Fan Jinyou and Xu Damao was obvious. If it was Xu Damao just now, he would not ask this question at all. Instead, he would directly tell him who the person in charge was, and maybe even brag about the other person's background and great achievements in detail.

"Well, our street office director's surname is Li. If you want to find him, just go directly to the street office!"

Hearing Li Wenqiang's dissatisfied tone, Fan Jinyou didn't dare to continue asking.

"Why didn't you just say it earlier? There's no need to make so much trouble!"

After saying this, Li Wenqiang left in dissatisfaction.

"Hey~ Wait a minute, Xu Huizhen will directly provide vegetables to the street office in the future, so what should I do?"

Seeing that Li Wenqiang was about to leave, Fan Jinyou couldn't help but shout.

"I don't care what you do. The things are still the same. If you want them, take them. If you don't want them, forget it!"

Li Wenqiang said without turning his head.

This guy is really ungrateful. He was lucky to be able to sell to him, but he was so picky. He could sell to others without buyers from the street office. There are many people who have money but cannot buy food, so he can still make a fortune. If he didn't want to do something extreme, he wouldn't have given him a single vegetable.

"What the hell is this!"

Watching Li Wenqiang riding away on his bike, Fan Jinyou couldn't help but slap his thigh. His happy life of earning a dozen yuan a day was gone.

Losing happiness is secondary. Xu Huizhen sells it for 60 cents per pound, while she sells it to the leaders' families for 1.1 yuan, which is twice the price. It's OK that I couldn't buy it before, but if this thing really happens, I will be scolded to death in the future.

"No, I have to go find Xu Huizhen!"

After saying this, Fan Jinyou turned around and left.

After Li Wenqiang understood the situation, he did not go directly to the director of the street office. If he just went there, it would be hard to say whether the director would pay attention to him or not!

First let Xu Huizhen tighten vegetable sales, and then change the sales model.

Selling vegetables directly without a receipt is going against the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, but cooking the vegetables and then rinsing them with water and stir-frying them is different. It is a commodity and has a different definition. He plans to wait a few days and then see the situation.

Arriving at Xueru Silk Shop, watching Chen Xueru busying herself inside, Li Wenqiang's lustful heart was aroused. He hadn't eaten meat for two days, and now he was craving for it again.

After parking the car, Li Wenqiang quietly walked to her side.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah~ You're going to die! You scared me to death!"

Chen Xueru couldn't help but pat her plump chest, rolled her eyes at him, and said unhappily.

"It's really rare. Haven't you always come to see me? Why did you come to see me today?"

"What are you saying? When did I not look for you? I was busy! And didn't you ask me to come look for you the day before yesterday? Otherwise, I'll leave?"

Li Wenqiang said this and acted as if he was ready to leave.

"Oh, yes. I'm almost too busy! I think we'll have to wait two days to open the store. I haven't found a suitable place yet. I'll talk about it later. Give me a few more days at most, and I'm sure I'll find a suitable place!"

Chen Xueru continued to examine the silk in her hands without raising her head, with a serious look on her face.

"Your cloth looks good. Make me two sets of clothes. I'll let my wife try them on!"

When Li Wenqiang said this, he recalled the way Liu Yuhua put on the wedding dress he gave her. That beautiful face appeared before his eyes again.

She has already rested for two days, and her body should have recovered almost completely. At night, she must continue to contribute to the expansion of the Li family and cannot rest.

His head was filled with all sorts of embarrassing thoughts that made his blood boil, but Chen Xueru on this side wasn't going to agree. Why should she make clothes for his wife to wear?

"If you don't want to do it, go do it somewhere else!"

After saying that, she walked away, unwilling to pay any attention to him.

"Oh, I wanted to tell someone some good news, but now it seems like I'm meddling in other people's business. In that case, I'll just forget it!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xueru with a smile, waiting for her to ask.
