Chapter 196 Is my sister-in-law some kind of goddess?
"Of course, you need to eat more meat to have energy."
Joanne pointed to the glass bottle, "This is juice. Drink it with your food, don't choke."
Huang Hanliang was really hungry. He took a big bite of the pie, chewed a few times, and found that there was actually meat inside.
"Mmm...minced meat!"
"Hmm, I made pork and cabbage filling. It tastes alright, right?"
Joanne asked with a smile.
This is hardly acceptable!
Huang Hanliang would eat a pie for four or five yuan, and then pick up the glass bottle and shovel it into his mouth.
The moment I tasted the sweet and sour orange juice, I felt a jolt of energy.
Delicious! Delicious!
I'd do anything for food and drink.
The aroma of meat and fruit juice wafted out continuously.
The young man sitting by the window saw the food on Qiao An and the others' small table, and then looked at his own boxed lunch and suddenly it didn't taste so good anymore.
The same goes for Liu Fei.
Although he was eating with his head down, his eyes kept drifting to the small table next to him.
He spoke up for Qiao An out of a sense of justice, but he didn't expect that what Qiao An said was true.
Isn't the food she brought much better than the boxed lunches?
When Liu Fei looked up, he saw the steamed bun filled with glistening, reddish-brown minced meat in a thick sauce. Just looking at it made his mouth water.
Qiao An had noticed Liu Fei's gaze long ago.
This person just spoke up for me; he seems like a decent guy.
Qiao An took out two more steamed buns. "Big brother, try the steamed buns I made."
Liu Fei felt quite embarrassed, and before he could refuse, Qiao An put the steamed buns into his lunchbox.
"Don't mention it, I brought plenty, enough to eat on the road."
"Oh, thank you."
Liu Fei smiled, picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and the juice filled his tongue.
The umami flavor of shiitake mushrooms and the savory aroma of pork blend together, creating an irresistible fragrance.
Liu Fei didn't even want to eat the boxed lunch anymore, so he simply covered it up and focused on eating the steamed buns.
Qiao An's steamed buns are each as big as a man's fist; an average person would be full after eating two.
The young man by the window watched them eat with such relish, but his mouth felt like it was chewing wax.
Because of the two steamed buns, Liu Fei started chatting with Qiao An.
This trip to buy fertilizer was a secret mission; Qiao An only told him that she was going to Guangyuan City to look for opportunities.
As they chatted, Qiao An learned that Liu Fei had actually gotten off the bus in Yuncheng.
"The private sector in our Yuncheng is also developing. Let me tell you something, it will be fully liberalized soon."
"If you really have resources in Guangyun City, you can still come back to Yuncheng to develop your career."
Liu Fei never said which department he was in, but how could someone who could afford to travel in a soft sleeper be an ordinary person?
Since arriving in Amtu, Qiao An could only wait for Feng Sanqiang to call her, casually asking about the situation in the provincial capital during the call.
Feng Sanqiang, being neither a government official nor a member of the organization, couldn't discern anything from the situation.
Just when Qiao An was having a bad day, God sent Liu Fei to her.
She started by asking from the sidelines, "Comrade, what if I don't want to set up a stall? Is it possible to rent a street-front shop in our area now?"
Liu Fei turned his head and said in a low voice, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be ready in August."
"I even got my relatives to chip in to buy a storefront."
Qiao An looked regretful. "It's a pity I'm in Amutu right now, otherwise I really want to go back to Yuncheng to do business."
"That's true." Liu Fei also felt sorry for Qiao An. "Things from Guangyun City are selling like hotcakes right now. I even bought a lot of dried seafood from Guangyun City a while ago."
"Although the price is a bit high, the quality is really good. It tastes amazing when I make porridge or soup at home."
Upon hearing Liu Fei's words, Qiao An raised an eyebrow.
In the entire Yuncheng, she's probably the only one selling dried seafood from Guangyun City.
I never expected that this would be one of my regular customers.
Qiao An was in a great mood and got Liu Fei another bottle of juice.
The train traveled south, with passengers getting on and off repeatedly.
Only Qiao An and the other two remained unmoved.
For the next two days, Huang Hanliang and Li Chao looked forward to breakfast, lunch, and dinner the most each day.
Joanne also brought malted milk powder, so they could mix it with hot water and drink it.
They had only seen this stuff at the supply and marketing cooperative; they had never drunk it before.
In their eyes, Joan's bag was like a treasure chest, containing everything.
In the past few days, in addition to pies and steamed buns, they have also eaten dumplings, meat rolls, and smoked chicken.
Even the train conductor who sells boxed lunches can't help but glance at room 04.
On the afternoon of the third day, Joan stretched her muscles and bones.
They finally arrived in Guangyun City.
After exiting the station, Qiao An was very familiar with the area and didn't need to ask for directions or even buy a map. She directly led them to the guesthouse.
It was at this moment that Huang Hanliang and Li Chao realized that this was not Qiao An's first time in Guangyun City.
A woman who travels all over the country without fear has begun to earn their admiration.
Huang Hanliang and Li Chao were ordered to protect Qiao An at all times.
So wherever Joan goes, they will go.
Since she had come to Guangyun City, Qiao An went to Sanhe Garment Factory the next day.
When Dong Dahai saw Qiao An again after a month, he thought he had mistaken her for someone else.
"Joan, what brings you here again?"
"No, no, I didn't mean anything by it. I just meant that you're pregnant now, and you're still doing all this. Don't hurt your health," Dong Dahai quickly explained, afraid that the God of Wealth would misunderstand.
"This time there's something special that I have to come in person for. Since we're already in Guangyun City, I thought I'd just give you the sample garments for the next two months."
Qiao An took out two sets of finished sample garments from her bag.
Dong Dahai's eyes lit up when he saw the sample garment.
"Is this a frog closure design?"
"Brother Dong has good taste. I combined the Chinese knot buttons from the old-fashioned cotton-padded jackets, and the effect was surprisingly good."
Joan was talking nonsense.
"Why hasn't anyone thought of using Chinese knot buttons on shirts? Joan, you're a design genius."
"Wait! I'll get the money right now."
Dong Dahai turned and went into the inner office room. A short while later, he came out carrying several large bundles of money.
"Same as always, 20,000 for design fee, plus this is the commission from last month."
"Your clothing designs have been selling really well lately. Your commission in one month is now equal to what you used to earn in two months. That's 30,000 in total. Here's your commission."
Without saying a word, Qiao An stuffed the money into her backpack and handed it to Huang Hanliang.
"I feel at ease doing business with Brother Dong."
Dong Dahai burst into laughter upon hearing this.
Qiao An brought up the matter of renting a warehouse again. She asked Dong Dahai to help her rent one, preferably one that was close to the train station.
For Dong Dahai, it was just a matter of making a phone call, and he agreed without any hesitation.
As Huang Hanliang walked out of the Sanhe Garment Factory, sweat beaded on his forehead from nervousness.
He had never been so helpless when facing the enemies of the Kingdom of Wolman.
He clutched his backpack, his fingers gripping it so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
There's 30,000 yuan in cash in here!
Thirty thousand!
He had never seen so much money in his entire life!
Not to mention him, Li Chao's expression wasn't much better.
My sister-in-law just gave the other party two sets of clothes, and they gave her tens of thousands of yuan.
Li Chao felt like his worldview was about to collapse.
When did making money become so easy?
Is my sister-in-law some kind of goddess?
