Chapter 602: Chapter 381: Shipping Early_2
Uncle Yao, a middle-aged man, walked over, “Is there sothing different about it?”
Yao Yiyao dismissed the concern, “It’s not much different from the ones sold in supermarkets.”
Uncle Yao had been running a restaurant for a long ti and personally handled the sourcing of ingredients; his discernnt was naturally unquestionable.
“Currently, many tomatoes on the market are artificially ripened; they lack the real tomato flavor.”
“Take a look at this one.”
Saying so, Uncle Yao rubbed the tomato with his hand and opened his mouth to taste it.
Jiang Junlong’s expression changed, “Dad, stop!”
…
Jiang Ning stayed at Uncle Yao’s house for half an hour. Before leaving, Uncle Yao kept persuading him to stay longer and finally gave Jiang Ning a bucket containing four Little Green Dragons.
Jiang Ning returned to his river dam house where Xue Yuantong was already waiting for him. Besides, there was a black electric scooter parked at the door.
It belonged to Xue Chuchu’s family.
Facing Xue Chuchu, who was seen from the back, her long hair draped over her shoulders, wearing a white T-shirt paired with slim jeans, her slim waist and the soft curves of her legs showing.
“Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, you’re finally back.” Xue Yuantong hurried over to et him, “I bought lots of snacks, enough to last us a week. Co and have a look.”
As she spoke, she dragged Jiang Ning to admire the heap of snacks.
Then she noticed the bucket in Jiang Ning’s hands, “Jiang Ning, what are you doing with that bucket?”
“I got Little Green Dragons from Uncle,” Jiang Ning replied.
Saying so, he carried the bucket to a shady spot in the courtyard and poured the Little Green Dragons from the bucket into a large basin, revealing four bluish-brown Little Green Dragons.
The Little Green Dragons were quite large, each weighing about half a kilogram, robust and imposing, with deep-colored armor and two long antennae on their heads, looking majestic and formidable.
Xue Yuantong was astonished, even though she had specifically searched online yesterday to not appear cowardly.
Seeing them with her own eyes, the Little Green Dragons were indeed huge!
Their bodies were almost as thick as her wrist.
Xue Chuchu also ca over to look; such large lobsters indeed attracted attention.
Xue Yuantong crouched down for a while then suddenly asked, “Chuchu, can you beat them?”
Xue Chuchu was initially puzzled but after careful observation, she softly said, “They don’t have pincers.”
Only then did Xue Yuantong notice that the Little Green Dragons actually had no pincers; she was initially happy because it ant their combat power wasn’t very strong.
Then, she felt regret and resentfully said, “Why don’t they grow pincers? Without pincers, there’s a lot less at!”
She stretched out her finger and tapped the Little Green Dragon, as if blaming them.
Jiang Ning: “Sigh.”
Xue Chuchu looked at Tongtong without knowing what to say.
Aunt Gu ca over and was surprised, “So many.”
These Little Green Dragons were definitely not cheap; Aunt Gu estimated they were worth at least 300 yuan, quite expensive.
Jiang Ning suggested, “Let’s cook them all for lunch.”
With Xue Chuchu and her mother joining for lunch, five people in total, there was no worry about not being able to finish.
Knowing Jiang Ning’s decisiveness, Aunt Gu did not refuse further, “Okay, Auntie will cook today. How do you want them prepared, stead, garlic style, or sashimi?”
Jiang Ning looked at Xue Yuantong to make the decision.
After considering for a while, she said,” Mom, two garlic style, and two fried.”
Thus, the fate of the crayfish was decided.
…
The lunch table was set in the main hall.
Chuchu’s mother, Hua Fengi, enjoyed the draft and gazed at the beautiful scenery of the fields:
“This place is even better than our ho.”
Aunt Gu, having eaten vegetarian dishes, said with a smile, “Let’s go visit Aunt Pan next door after we finish eating.”
Hua Fengi nodded. “I originally thought that when Chuchu went to college, I would go to the city where her university is located to take care of her, but now it’s different.”
She now worked at the Changqing Liquid Company in Yuzhou, where the pay was unbelievably good. Not just for an uneducated middle-aged woman like her but even students from key universities would find it difficult to get in.
Hua Fengi’s current salary, after deductions, was a whopping 5,500 yuan per month!
But this salary level was still the lowest at the Changqing Liquid Company, and there was significant room for future improvent.
Aunt Gu said, “You definitely can’t leave, because if you do, you won’t have the chance to co back.”
Hua Fengi replied, “So, I want to settle down here, and wait for Chuchu to graduate from college. If I can find a way, I would like her to join Changqing Liquid.”
At that mont, she looked towards her daughter, “Chuchu, Changqing Liquid is really sothing, it’s our own brand making money from foreigners, all in US Dollars.”
She looked proud, “Our company acquired so land, hundreds of acres. Soon, we’ll build a campus, it’s going to be impressive.”
The cultural promotion of the Changqing Liquid Company was exceptionally well done, creating its own brand while earning money from foreigners, combined with the foreigners eager to buy, all those elents together had caused a deeply profound reputation.
Chuchu silently ate the Little Green Dragon at in her bowl, keeping her mother’s words in mind while thinking to herself how delicious the shrimp tasted.
Hua Fengi was calculating in her mind, it was ti to schedule buying a house. Firstly, the city rental was about to expire and secondly, their rental didn’t even have air conditioning.
On the seventh floor, without air conditioning, it was like a stear in the sumr, and Chuchu suffered terribly, though she usually didn’t complain. Now that she was capable, she didn’t want her daughter to suffer.
“Let’s look at so places together later, it’s better to decide on it sooner.”
“Do you still have enough money?” Aunt Gu asked caringly, “Let give you so.”
She said it outright at the dining table since the two were close, and such matters didn’t have to be concealed.
Hua Fengi responded, “No need, I have enough.”
Actually, she didn’t have enough, but the closer the relationship, the less she wanted to borrow money from Sister Gu.
Now that she had a job everyone envied, borrowing money from relatives to buy a house wasn’t difficult since her family could afford the repaynts.
…
While the adults were talking, Xue Yuantong was devouring the Little Green Dragon at, taking a break only after eating voraciously.
Jiang Ning took a sip of orange with pulp, leisurely scrolling through his phone.
In the QQ group, Yu Wen was venting to her classmates, “I’m done, I bought clothes online, and they just arrived today, forcing to pick them up from school.”
Guo Kunnan answered, “Isn’t that just how online shopping is? Just wait three days for anything.”
Then, a bunch of classmates joined in to complain, advising never to use a certain courier, calling it dead slow.
Yu Wen continued, “I’m puzzled, since it takes three days for delivery, why can’t they send all the parcels three days earlier?”
“If they did that, wouldn’t it arrive today if I ordered today?”
Zhang Chi jumped in to argue, “You can’t send parcels three days early!”
Yu Wen questioned, “Why can’t you send them three days early?”
Zhang Chi explained, “Because so parcels arrive in two days. If it’s sent three days earlier, the parcel would have arrived yesterday, and I wouldn’t receive it today, would I?”
Yu Wen thought it over, “That seems right!”
The two unexpectedly started a debate in the class group about how parcels should be sent, and they even ended up arguing.
Nobody conceded to the other.
As the classmates watched their chat, Duan Shigang couldn’t stand it anymore and, trying to show so cultural and leadership presence, he suggested:
“Suggest the industry standardize, making it a rule for parcels to arrive in three days, and then just send them three days early, right?”
Yu Wen retorted, “With so many couriers, how can you set rules, and whose will you follow?”
Duan Shigang confidently said, “Eventually, soone will co to set the rules.”
After finishing her al, Yang Sheng finally couldn’t stand her classmates’ intelligence anymore and spoke up:
“Sending parcels three days early? Three days before you haven’t even placed the order! Tell , can the courier company predict the future?”
Her words awakened them as if from a dream.
The class group fell silent. After realizing their folly, the atmosphere in the group turned awkward.
To break the ice, the class monitor Huang Zhongfei posted a photo of his lunch:
“First day of vacation, what did everyone eat?”
Guo Kunnan followed with a photo showing a table with fish, at, and crabs, a sumptuous feast.
Wang Longlong comnted, “Brother Nan’s food looks good.”
Guo Kunnan laughed, “Haha, my sister ca back, gotta eat well.”
The next second, Hu Jun appeared, “Brother Nan, can I co over to your place for a al?”
“Sure, co over,” Guo Kunnan said generously.
Hu Jun replied instantly, “I’ll ride my motorcycle over tonight.”
