Chapter 110 Being a Guest

"Xiao Yi, let me introduce to you. This is my old man. You can just call him Grandpa Cheng."

Mrs. He felt a little embarrassed when she saw Jia Yi standing at the door, so she quickly pulled Jia Yi back.

Mrs. He said while pressing Jia Yi on the chair.

"Xiao Yi, don't worry, your Grandpa Cheng is here to help too, don't you think so, old man."

"Yes, Xiao Yi, it doesn't matter if I call you that!"

"Grandpa Cheng, you can do whatever you want."

Jia Yi did not dare to refute. This was not because he was sincere. It was simply because he respected the old man, especially as he was a soldier who lived and died for the people of the country.

It's definitely not because of the two guards at the entrance of the courtyard, and it's definitely not because of the two rifles I've only seen on TV in my previous life.

"Xiao Yi, I can help with what you are talking about. I can find a car to transport those things away."

"Grandpa Cheng, the key is not transportation, but confidentiality."

Jia Yi thought about it and told the truth. It would be okay if the transportation was slow, but leaking the secret would be a big trouble.

Mr. Cheng glanced at Jia Yi strangely.

"I think you are quite smart, but why are you so confused now? You don't even think about who I can find. If they can't keep it secret, no one can trust it."

Jia Yi looked outside the door and suddenly realized that Mr. Cheng was indeed right. He was confused.

"Grandpa Cheng, I was confused."

"Well, just understand. If you have any other ideas, just tell me."

Mr. Cheng nodded, very satisfied that Jia Yi could react so quickly.

"Since the owner of the cargo requires confidentiality, everything is negotiated by me as the middleman, and the goods come through multiple channels, so the delivery location and time vary. The most important thing is..."

"Don't worry, mother-in-law. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Jia Yi was startled. Mr. Cheng was indeed a soldier and had a very strong aura. He quickly explained.

"Give me the money first. I will inform you of the time and place to pick up the goods. When you get the goods, I will give the money to the owner of the goods."

"Yeah, that's fine, you kid can't run away anyway."

Jia Yi smiled bitterly, he really couldn't run away in front of such a person.

"I will inform you of the time and location in advance, and you can pick up the goods by yourself."

"If you don't watch yourself...boy, you are really naughty."

Mr. Cheng suddenly reacted mid-sentence.

"Hey, old man, what do you mean?"

At this time, Mrs. He on the side asked a question. She had been listening just now, but she just didn't understand what the two people were talking about.

"This little fox was afraid that everyone would get the stolen goods, so he simply didn't show up during the transaction."

"That's it, it seems safer."

Mrs. He thought for a while, so she would have many excuses to make even if she was caught, and it made sense that Jia Yi just said to collect the money first.

"Boy, you are very skilled at this. You have done it a lot before."

Looking at Mr. Cheng's meaningful eyes, Jia Yi smiled.

"For safety's sake."

"Boy, I have a long-term business here, do you dare to do it?"

Jia Yi trembled when he heard about long-term business. When dealing with people like Mr. Cheng, you must be careful. If you are not careful, you will suffer a hidden loss.

"Ahem, Grandpa Cheng, I am just a small broker. I occasionally help both parties facilitate transactions and earn some hard money.

As for the long-term business you always mentioned, I really can’t do it, after all, I don’t have the supply of goods myself.”

Jia Yi couldn't refuse directly, so he had to find reasons to shirk it.

"I know, I just want you to keep looking for those two vegetables. No matter how much, I want them."

Jia Yi was a little shocked. Well, each of these two couples had a bigger appetite than the other. Mrs. He asked for fifty tons as soon as she opened her mouth. This is better, and she will not refuse anyone who comes.

To be honest, Jia Yi was a bit overwhelmed. Although his Taoyuan had a steady supply of produce and he didn't have to worry about running out of goods, Mr. Cheng's huge appetite really frightened him.

Mr. Cheng also saw Jia Yi's worries.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing something bad. I can't do it even if I want to at this time. There is a shortage no matter where I am now, and there is no excess at the top. Let each department find a way to solve it..."

Now, Jia Yi understood and felt relaxed.

"Grandpa Cheng, I can only say that I will inform you if I encounter you. I can't guarantee anything else."

"It doesn't matter. By the way, we've been talking for so long, where's the price?"

"I have to go back and ask about this."

"Xiao Yi, you should also know that none of them are rich people..."

Mrs. He said embarrassedly.

"Don't worry, I will tell them the situation. With such a large amount, I estimate it will cost about four cents per catty."

In fact, Jia Yi didn't know what price to set. He wanted to set a lower price, but it was hard to explain to them.

"Well, not bad, Xiaoyi, the price is okay."

Mr. Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Auntie, we are back."

He Hui led the two little ones in.

"Old man, it's almost time. It's time to have lunch."

"Okay, Xiao Yi, let's go and eat."

"Xiaohui, didn't you say that Grandma He's family has many children?"

Jia Yi saw that there were only four people on the table, the old couple and Jia Yi. He felt strange and asked He Hui in a low voice.

"Haha, many relatives got married during the National Day, and they all went out. If the old man hadn't been busy, we would have gone too."

Mrs. He explained with a smile on her face.

"Come on, come to Xiaohui and take care of the little Sophora japonica so that everyone can eat."

There are six dishes on the table, braised pork and tofu, stir-fried shredded pork with green pepper, seaweed and egg soup, stir-fried green vegetables, roasted radish, and pickles.

The staple food is rice, which is what Jia Yi is most satisfied with.

He had no choice but to lose his appetite due to his increasingly improving cooking skills.

These dishes are a bit bland in comparison.

Not only Jia Yi was like this, but also He Hui and Xiaodang Huaihua were the same.

The four of them ate their meal slowly, which made the old couple a little dumbfounded.

The two of them quickly picked up a few chopsticks and tasted the dishes.

"That's right, it tastes like before. It's the first time the three brothers and sisters of Xiao Yi came here today to make it specially. Even my own children wolfed down this meal. Why..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The couple looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

"Xiaohui, Xiaoyi, don't be restrained. Just treat it like your own home and eat freely."

Mrs. He persuaded her while picking up vegetables for the four children.

Jia Yi and the others looked at the mountains of vegetables piled high in their bowls, feeling bitter in their hearts.

It can't be said that the food is not good enough, there is no other way, the four of them can only speed up.

The couple nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right. Just now I didn't dare to eat it because I was unfamiliar with it. Now it's better."

After the meal, Jia Yi and the other two slumped down on the chairs with their bellies raised.

There was no way, Jia Yi was forced to eat three bowls of rice. If it had been left in the past, Jia Yi's three brothers and sisters would have been fine. But now, Jia Yi has been giving them nutritional supplements. Now there is no shortage of oil and water in their stomachs, so the amount of food has been greatly reduced.

Already.

"Xiao Yi, don't leave in a hurry today. Leave after dinner in the evening."

"No...I'll just contact them this afternoon and negotiate the price."

Jia Yi hurriedly excused himself. If he came again like this at noon, he would doubt whether he would be able to go back at night. He didn't want to lie here.

"Okay, please be safe on the road and come play often when you have time."

"I know, little Sophora japonica, let's say goodbye to Grandma He."

The four of them waved goodbye. As for Mr. Cheng, he was a big shot and was very busy. He went out as soon as he finished eating.

After leaving the military compound, Jia Yi touched his belly and said to He Hui.

"Xiaohui, Grandma He did this to you before."

"No, it must be because there were too many children at home at that time, so my aunt couldn't do this."
