Director Guo was busy, so he left Dai Xuan in the office to drink tea. He went out to the kitchen of the cafeteria to look for the manager, Old Zhao. Director Guo asked,"Old Zhao, how's the beef we bought today?”
Old Zhao said," This beef is not bad. It's very good snowflake beef. I've never seen such good beef before. The taste shouldn't be wrong.”
Chief Physician Guo nodded when he heard that. He knew what was going on.
When it was lunchtime, Director Guo bought two sets of food and went to the office to eat with Dai Xuan. As he ate, he said,"Your beef is really good. It's fresh and tender.”
Dai Xuan said,"My beef should be top-grade beef. It's better to eat it in hot pot or fried."”
The two of them finished their meal very quickly. Chief Guo cleared the cutlery and sat back on the wooden sofa. Dai Xuan took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Chief Guo. The two of them lit the cigarettes and talked as they smoked. Chief Guo said,"If you sell your beef for a long time like this, it's a little suspected of speculation. If someone reports it, it won't be easy to deal with. If there's a large amount, you'd better sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative.”
Dai Xuan said,"I can provide about 200 per month. It's just that I don't know anyone from the supply and marketing cooperative."”
Director Guo said," I know the people in the supply and marketing cooperative. I often deal with them. I'll help you ask them in the afternoon and treat them to a meal."”
Dai Xuan was very happy to hear that. He really didn't have the patience to sell them one by one. He said,"Director Guo, you've helped me a lot.”
Director Guo smiled and said," If you have an appointment, you'll have to pay for dinner tonight. You also have to bring cigarettes and alcohol. I don't need to teach you this, do I?"”
Dai Xuan said,"No need, no need. I understand the rules of human relations."”，He had been back in China for almost two months, so he knew a little about the ways of the world.
"Where do you keep your cow?" asked Director Guo. When the time came, he would bring them to take a look.”。
Dai Xuan thought to himself that this cattle field was indeed a problem. It didn't matter if there were one or two cows, but they couldn't use a cart to pull a large herd, right? "I don't have a place to put it," he said."Director Guo, you're familiar with this place. Can you recommend a venue for me?”
Director Guo lowered his head when he heard that. Dai Xuan handed him a cigarette. He lit it and smoked. After taking two puffs, he said to Dai Xuan,"Our factory is at the market. About a kilometer down that road, there's a big yard. It used to be for old equipment, but it's no longer used.”
Dai Xuan was quite happy when he heard that. Today was very smooth. He had really met a benefactor.
So in the afternoon, he went to take a look at the large courtyard. The courtyard was about 2,000 square meters in size, surrounded by a two-meter-high wall made of red bricks. The courtyard was full of weeds, and there were a few rusty old equipment near the wall. There were two red brick bungalows near the courtyard door, empty and covered in dust.
Dai Xuan was very satisfied. He signed the contract with Director Guo in the afternoon. It was 100 yuan a month and he rented it for three months.
At three o'clock, Director Guo called a friend from the supply and marketing cooperative and made an appointment for dinner. The place for dinner was set to be in the restaurant of the steel factory guest house. He just happened to bring some beef to the chef to process and let them taste it. Dai Xuan also left first. They agreed to meet at the guest house's restaurant at 5:30. Director Guo had also told him the location of the restaurant. He could just go there when it was time.
Dai Xuan went to buy two wine jars that weighed 10 jin and two packs of good cigarettes. Dai Xuan filled the two wine jars with spirit peach wine. At five o'clock, he carried the two jars of wine to the guest house's restaurant. The room they booked was called Orchid Room. He arrived first and smoked while waiting in the room. Not long after, Director Guo arrived. He handed the beef he had brought to the chef and ordered a few other dishes.
The two of them sat in the private room and chatted while waiting. Dai Xuan took out a long red wooden box from a bag. The box was 60 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide and thick. He handed the box to Director Guo and said,"Chief Physician Guo, it's all thanks to your help today. This gift is for you. I hope you like it.”
"Why are you being so polite?" Director Guo took the box with a smile. What kind of treasure was it that was wrapped so well?”，As he spoke, he opened the box to take a look. His face was instantly filled with shock. There was a plump and round ginseng in the box. The ginseng was more than 50 centimeters long, including the roots. The entire ginseng looked full of spirituality. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. He closed the lid and said,"Young Dai, this thing is too expensive. I can't accept it!"”
Dai Xuan smiled and said," Brother Guo, although we just met today, I'm very grateful for your enthusiastic help to me. Ginseng may be very rare to you, but it's nothing to me. So, just accept it!"”
Director Guo smiled bitterly and said," Other people give cigarettes and alcohol, but you give me ginseng. Alright, I'll accept it shamelessly. I owe you a favor. Who asked me to need this thing!?"”
After saying that, he took the wooden box containing the ginseng out of the private room and placed it in the office of the guest house. This guest house was also under his management. He had an office here. When he came back, he said to Dai Xuan," Young Dai, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Don't rush to pay for it. Also, I've booked a room for you upstairs. Let's have a good drink tonight. After dinner, we'll go to the guest room upstairs to rest."”，Dai Xuan nodded in agreement.
Dai Xuan knew that ginseng was an excellent thing in China, especially this hundred-year-old ginseng. However, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he gave it away without hesitation.
At six o'clock, the people from the supply and marketing cooperative arrived. There were a total of five people, four men and one woman. The leader was a man in his forties who was the deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Old Guo called him Director Zhao. The other three men were all in their thirties. The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and looked quite beautiful.
Everyone sat down in the private room. Dai Xuan took out an opened carton of cigarettes and handed a pack to each of them. The girl waved her hand repeatedly and said, Thank you, I don't smoke."
The others all laughed out loud. Then, Director Guo introduced Dai Xuan to them, and he also introduced Director Zhao to Dai Xuan. Everyone nodded at each other and knew each other.
"Old Guo, what are you drinking tonight?" Director Zhao asked Old Guo. There are only two of you. I'm afraid your combat strength is a little lacking?”，When Dai Xuan heard this, he stood up and took a jar of wine from the corner of the private room and placed it on the table. Then, he opened the seal. Immediately, a rich peach fruit fragrance filled the room. Everyone was very curious.
"What wine is this?" Director Zhao asked. It smells so good?" He had drunk a lot of wine, but he had never smelled such a fragrance.
Dai Xuan said," This is called Monkey Wine. When the peaches are ripe, the monkeys pick them and put them in the tree hole to store and brew it. The alcohol content is not high, only about 30 degrees. It's very good for the body."”
When the few of them heard this, they were a little expectant. This was a rare item.
Dai Xuan took their wine cups and filled each of them with wine. He also took two wine jugs that were filled to the brim.
The few people sitting there all picked up their wine glasses and looked at them carefully. The wine was a pure light red color, just like a gem. Then, Old Guo and Director Zhao both took a sip and tasted it slowly as if they were intoxicated. Director Zhao took a few sips and said,"This wine is sweet and fragrant, and it also has the mellow fragrance of aging. Old Guo, thanks to you, I'm drinking good wine today.”
"It should be thanks to Young Dai," Director Guo said with a smile."It's my first time drinking this kind of wine too.”
Before the dishes were served, they had already started drinking. After drinking two cups of wine, they gradually became more forthright. By the time the dishes were served, they had already drunk four pots of wine. They continued to eat and drink.
Old Guo pointed at a pot of boiled beef and said to Director Zhao,""Old Zhao, try this beef. It's the beef provided by Young Dai.”
Director Zhao picked up a piece of beef and said,"Young Dai's things must be good.”，Then, he put it into his mouth and ate it. As he ate, he nodded and said,"I've been in the supply and marketing industry for more than 20 years, but I've never eaten such good beef. And this monkey wine, can you provide this monkey wine?”，Dai Xuan was just about to answer when he felt Old Guo kick him under the table, so he changed his words and said," This Monkey Brew doesn't have much alcohol tolerance, but I can give you a few jars." Everyone was very happy when they heard this. They couldn't bear to drink this wine even if they brought it home. They had to treasure it.
The atmosphere at the dining table was very lively. The wine was good, the food was good, and the people were pleasing to the eye, so everyone drank enthusiastically. Dai Xuan didn't expect to meet a female hero, so he drank five or six glasses with him. Dai Xuan also drank a lot with Director Zhao. In the end, the five people who had more people were drunk by the two people who had fewer people. In the end, Old Guo arranged for them to sleep in the guest room upstairs.
The next morning, after breakfast, they left in a hurry to go back to work. Everyone had agreed to come over tomorrow to see the cows.
Dai Xuan stayed in the guest house during the day, and Director Guo did not have time to accompany him. A large factory with more than 10,000 people had a lot of logistics work.
It started to rain at around three in the afternoon. Dai Xuan decided to go out. He wore a green shirt, a pair of black trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes. He held an umbrella and went out.
He first took the bus to the train station. After getting off the bus, he held an umbrella and walked all the way through the railway tunnel to the iron house where the little girl lived.
The door of the iron house was open. The little girl was burning firewood in the stove. The wood was a little wet, and smoke came out of the stove, making the little girl cry.
The door of the inner room was closed. Dai Xuan put away his umbrella and walked into the room. The little girl squatted in front of the stove to start a fire and did not notice anyone coming in. Dai Xuan stood there and watched for a while. Seeing that she was burning hard, he could not help but blow into the stove. Soon, the firewood in the stove was burning. Seeing that the firewood was burning, the little girl got up and prepared to do something else. When she got up, she saw a person standing at the door, which gave her a shock. After sizing him up for a while, she looked at Dai Xuan and said weakly,"Are you the person who gave me 30 yuan the day before yesterday? How did you find this place?"
Dai Xuan did not answer her. He sat on the stool beside the small dining table and lit a cigarette.
"I'm here to help you. What's your name?”
" My name is Chen Xiaoyu," the little girl replied softly. She looked a little scared and stood uneasily.
Dai Xuan didn't care about her fear. He just wanted to help her.
The rain was still falling from the sky, and the raindrops hit the iron roof. Dai Xuan took out two small bottles from his trouser pocket, one black and one white.
"Give the medicine in the black bottle to your father and the medicine in the white bottle to your mother. Take one pill a day and she will be fine after taking the medicine.”
With that, he stood up and walked away with an umbrella. Before he left, he said to the little girl, Chen Xiaoyu,"Remember to feed them. I'll come back in two days.”，
The little girl was left alone in the small kitchen. She stood in front of the stove and looked at the two medicine bottles in a daze. She still did not understand what was going on.
Dai Xuan returned to the steel factory's guest house. The room he stayed in this time was much better. There was a big Simmons bed in the inner room, and a small living room outside with a leather sofa and a glass coffee table. When he returned, it was already 5:30 pm. He was sitting on the sofa and drinking tea when there was a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Director Guo coming in with two bottles of wine.
"I asked the kitchen to make some dishes. Let's have a few drinks later.”
Dai Xuan smiled and offered him a seat, then poured a cup of tea for Old Guo.
"It's raining non-stop today. The wine you drank yesterday was really good. After drinking it, you slept soundly.”。
"I'll give you two more jars tomorrow.”
The two of them sat on the sofa and chatted while drinking tea and smoking. After half an hour, the waiter brought a few dishes, two sets of chopsticks, and two glass glasses. The two of them began to eat and drink.
There were a few dishes on the coffee table. There was a sweet and sour carp, a boiled chicken, a pan-fried three-gem, and a cucumber. Dai Xuan had basically eaten wild game for the past two months. It was his first time eating these dishes. They were very unique and tasted especially good. After all, it was a guest house of a big factory. It often received higher-ups. The chef's cooking skills must be very good.
The two of them chatted as they ate. Dai Xuan said,"I'm going to bring a batch of cattle over tomorrow morning. You can ask Director Zhao and the others to come over and take a look tomorrow afternoon."
"Sure, I'll call him tomorrow morning. I'll ask them to deliver the beef that my canteen needs. They have a slaughterhouse over there, so it's more convenient than killing it yourself.”
Dai Xuan naturally had no objections. The two of them raised their glasses and clinked them. Dai Xuan finished it in one gulp. Old Guo wasn't as fierce as him, so he drank slowly.
"I want to buy a car after selling the cow tomorrow. Do you know anyone in this field?"”
"I know him!" Old Guo said. I have a comrade in the car company. Just look for her. I know many people in Guan City. If you need anything, just tell me.”。
The two of them chatted about other things. Mr. Guo was a local. He had joined the steel factory after returning from the army and had been working until now. As for Dai Xuan, he did not even know the name of his hometown. It had been too long, and many places had changed. He only knew that it was in the northwest. He had to find time there to look for it.
Old Guo turned on the TV in the living room. It was a small 17-inch color TV. The news was playing on the TV. If he moved this thing to the Divine Saturn, he would definitely be able to earn a lot of spirit stones.
Old Guo sat there until nine o'clock and went back. Dai Xuan took a hot shower and went to bed. For him, drinking alcohol helped him sleep.
The next morning, the rain had already stopped. He went to the rented courtyard and released a hundred cows and twelve jars of spirit peach wine from the space. The yard was very big, and a hundred cows didn't seem crowded. The black cows looked bigger than ordinary cows. After they were released from the yard, they began to eat the grass on the ground. They didn't seem to be uncomfortable.
At ten o'clock, Dai Xuan locked the courtyard door with two jars of wine and went to Old Guo's office in the steel factory. Old Guo was flipping through a report on his desk. When he saw him, he asked,"Is everything ready? How many are there?"
Dai Xuan nodded and said,"Ready, a hundred."”，Then, he placed the two jars of wine at the corner of the wall.
Old Guo grabbed the phone on the table and made a call."Old Zhao, the cows are ready. They're at our steel factory. When are you coming over to take a look? Yes, about a hundred." After talking for a while, he hung up.
"They came over after lunch. Do you have a passbook account? With such a large amount of money, they can only transfer it to you.”
Dai Xuan shook his head, so Old Guo took him to a nearby bank, opened a passbook account, and had lunch outside.
In the afternoon, Director Zhao and the others came over. After seeing the cow, they were very satisfied. It took them another two days to pull the cow away. After the handover, the account was transferred to Dai Xuan's passbook account. The spirit peach wine was also taken away. Everyone agreed to hand over the goods once a month.
On the third day, Dai Xuan withdrew 50,000 yuan in cash and went to the car company where his comrade worked with Mr. Guo. They spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy a brand new green jeep. They even got a license plate. After buying the car, Dai Xuan prepared to return to Mine 203.
