The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 117 I'll Just Have a Taste

Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer were about to arrive in the town. Shen Zhensheng was afraid that the back seat of the bicycle would hit Xiao Baoer's delicate little butt, so he found a thick cotton pad from the space and tied it to the back seat.

"Wife, does it hurt? Do you want to stop and rest for a while?"

"It's not uncomfortable. The cushion is soft. Honey, you've asked me this many times. We're almost there."

Along the way, Xiao Baoer answered Shen Zhensheng's questions many times, such as whether he was thirsty, hungry, or bloated. This man was afraid that his wife would feel uncomfortable.

After parking the bicycle in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Zhensheng gave the thermos in his bag to Xiao Baoer and asked her to drink the water first. After drinking the water, he went in to find Xie Lan.

"Sister, you're here. I've been looking forward to your coming every day these days," Xie Lan walked out from the counter when she saw Xiao Baoer and her husband coming. The three of them went to a deserted place to talk.

"Sister Lan, have you sold out your goods?"

Sister Lan smiled warmly, "Of course, sister, the goods you give me are always of good quality and sell well. Look, white flour, rice, noodles, mung beans, whole grains, eggs, pork, mutton, beef, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits, wool, and silk scarves have all been ordered in large quantities. They even paid me. I have written them down in the notebook. Sister, take a look."

Xie Lan handed the notebook to Xiao Baoer, on which was written in detail the quantity of each item. Xie Lan was a thoughtful person, and her notes were clear and organized.

"Sister, in addition to the things on the notebook, I would like to have another 500 kilograms of wool, 50 silk scarves, and the skin care products you gave me last time. Do you have any more? If you do, please prepare 50 sets for me. More than 20 sets have been ordered so far, and my sister-in-law has sold 20 sets at the textile factory."

When Xiao Baoer heard this, she realized that there were usually more female workers in textile factories, so she could talk to Xie Lan about the clothing issue.

"Sister Lan, I have a batch of autumn clothes here. The quality and style of the clothes are impeccable. You can sell skin care products and clothes together. You will definitely make a lot of money."

When Xie Lan heard this, her eyes lit up. Now she could make more money just by selling scarves and skin care products, and she could make more money by selling clothes. And somehow, she had an inexplicable trust in Xiao Baoer.

"Sister, I believe you. If you say it will sell well, then it will definitely sell well. So, how many pieces of clothing can you prepare for me? You can give them to me first and try to sell them."

Xiao Baoer thought about it and said, "Sister, I will give you 30 pieces first. I will charge you 15 yuan for each piece of clothing. It will be fine if you sell it for 18 or 20 yuan. And I will give it to you first. You can pay me after you sell them all."

Xie Lan was even happier when she heard this, knowing that Xiao Baoer would not let her suffer any loss. "Okay, sister, I'll go get the money for you first, and you go prepare the things first."

Xiao Baoer and Shen Zhensheng went to the courtyard and put the things Xie Lan wanted from the space into the room, and also took out the clothes that had been put into the space in advance.

More than an hour later, Xie Lan came over. After checking the supplies in the house, she gave the payment to Xiao Baoer, a total of yuan.

"Okay, Sister Lan, these are 30 pieces of clothing. You sell them first and just give me the money when you're done."

As soon as Xie Lan saw the quality and style of the clothes, she fell in love with them at first sight. It would be unreasonable if they were not popular.

After dealing with Xie Lan's affairs, the two went to the black market to find Zhou Bao. Because the people at the entrance of the black market alley already knew Shen Zhensheng, they took them in directly.

"Brother Sheng, how is it? How much goods do you have this time?" Zhou Bao invited the two men to sit down and poured them some water.

Shen Zhensheng glanced at Xiao Baoer and told her the quantity of supplies they had agreed to provide to Zhou Bao.

"3000 kilograms of pork, mutton and beef, 5000 kilograms of rice, flour and noodles, 1 kilograms of coarse grains, 5000 kilograms of various fruits, and 2000 kilograms of vegetables."

"Okay, Brother Sheng, how long will it take to deliver the stuff to the courtyard?"

"My people are nearby. I'll have them deliver the stuff to the courtyard later. You can wait until nightfall and have your people take it away."

Zhou Bao was thinking about the clothes he talked about last time, and asked Xiao Baoer again, "Sister-in-law, how is the clothes? Are there any clothes in this shipment?"

Xiao Baoer took the orange that Shen Zhensheng peeled for her and took a bite. "Yes, this time it's 30 pieces. Next time I'll bring you 30 pieces of the same ones, and 20 new ones."

Zhou Bao nodded repeatedly. He had earned a lot of money since Brother Sheng and his wife-in-law started delivering goods for him. Not to mention his comradeship with Brother Sheng, just the fact that they were his gods of wealth meant he had to worship them.

After Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer told Zhou Bao the price of each item, Zhou Bao went into the house to get the money. When he came out a while later, he had money and a bag of food in his hand.

"Brother Sheng, this is the payment for this time's goods. This bag contains some new goods that have arrived recently. They are all small snacks from big cities. Take them back for your sister-in-law and the children to try."

If it was something else, Shen Zhensheng might not want it, but when Zhou Bao said it was some snacks, Shen Zhensheng accepted it and could take it back for the children.

As for Xiao Baoer, Shen Zhensheng has to check everything she puts into her mouth. Recently, she has been secretly eating spicy strips and potato chips in the space, and has been caught by Shen Zhensheng several times. She admits her mistake every time, but will make the same mistake again next time.

After the two men left Zhou Bao, they went to another yard, put Zhou Bao's supplies away, and then rode their bicycles back to the village.

Shen Zhensheng also took out a few sour dates from his bag and gave them to Xiao Baoer, asking her to eat them on the way.

"Wife, the house will be finished today. Let's air out the house and then move in once dad's furniture is ready. The weather is getting colder."

Xiao Baoer was eating sour dates while talking to Shen Zhensheng, "Does the family need to stock up on some firewood and coal? It will be enough just to heat the kang."

"Many families in the village chop firewood and bring it to town to sell. We can buy some in the village and have them deliver it to our homes. I think many people will be happy to sell it to us, and they can save the effort of carrying firewood to town."

"Okay, then next time we come to town, let's ask Zhou Bao if he has tickets and coal. We need tickets to buy coal, so let's stock up. There's a stove in the space, so we can eat hot pot and barbecue with the children in winter. It's so delicious."

Xiao Baoer felt greedy as she spoke, and the more she spoke, the more she wanted to eat. "Honey, let's have hot pot and barbecue tonight. They're delicious."

"Can you eat now? We can't eat anything we want."

Xiao Baoer was still trying to persuade Shen Zhensheng to agree, "How can this be called eating blindly? If I want to eat, it proves that the baby in my belly wants to eat. Husband, please, I will only eat a little bit, never more, and I don't eat spicy food, I just want to taste it."

Shen Zhensheng couldn't refuse Xiao Baoer who kept asking for hotpot, so he had to agree and went home to prepare the soup base and ingredients.
