Chapter 110: New sales channels for wolfberries

The boss boiled some water, brought the tea leaves, and found a clean cup for Gu Chen. Only then did he put the tea leaves in, and as soon as the boiling water was poured over them, the green tea leaves were instantly sent tumbling.

The tea was ready.

The boss pushed the cup in front of Gu Chen, and then smiled at him.

'It's not a good tea, don't mind it.'

Gu Chen waved his hand.

'No, I can't.'

There's no reason to complain about the bread being sour when you're eating it for free.

'By the way, brother, what's your surname?' Gu Chen asked.

The boss smiled, 'My surname is Hu, everyone calls me Old Hu. I've been running this repair shop in this area for more than ten years, and everyone around here knows me.'

Afterwards, he made himself a cup of tea too, blowing on the floating leaves on top.

Gu Chen took a sip of tea.

'That's great. To be honest, Brother Hu, I'm from the village behind the coal washing plant, and I only started coming to the city to buy food a few years ago.

Hearing that Gu Chen goes to the city to buy food, Brother Hu was curious and said, 'Really? That's pretty good. It's the New Year soon, so business should be pretty good, right?'

'Well, business was good before the New Year, but now that there's a lot of fresh goji berries at home, I want to change careers, but I don't know how it will turn out.'

After Gu finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and handed it to Lao Hu.

Lao Hu took it with a smile, and after looking at the honest-looking kid who spoke politely, he thought he was just an old peasant, but he never imagined that he was actually selling vegetables in the city.

'That's easy. He has been fixing my car for many years, and we have become friends. His surname is Zhao, and he is a specialist in collecting wolfberries. Are you interested?'

Gu Chen knew he had asked the right person, and quickly dismounted his donkey, pretending to be impatient.

'Really? Then I'll trouble you to introduce me,'

Lao Hu said with a smile. 'His shop is just up the street, not far from here. If you're in a hurry, come by early tomorrow morning and I'll take you straight there.'

He and Lao Zhao had been friends for many years, and their relationship was naturally still good.

And if he took Gu Chen there himself, the price could definitely be a little higher, after all, he had to give himself some face.

Gu Chen didn't expect Hu Ge to be so enthusiastic.

He was a little excited.

'That's really great, my family grows wolfberries. I can't say for sure about anything else, but my wolfberries are definitely top-notch.'

He had absolute confidence in his wolfberries, which were produced by the system and must be high-quality.

Lao Hu smiled.

'I don't know if this is a good idea or not. You two can talk about it face to face when you meet tomorrow. I'm just the one who set up the meeting.'

After all, Lao Zhao is also his friend. He has never seen Gu Chen's wolfberries at home, and as the saying goes, one should never harbour malicious thoughts towards others, but one should always be on one's guard.

Gu Chen didn't know if the wolfberries were good or not.

He was simply acting as a go-between, and they were both friends. If the deal went through, that would be great, but if not, it would be between them.

Gu Chen understood this logic, and he was already grateful that Lao Hu had helped him make the connection.

It was only natural that he wouldn't help him.

He nodded with a smile, 'Let's say it's settled then. Thank you so much, Brother Hu.'

Lao Hu is a warm-hearted person, and he was also quite happy that he was able to help Gu Chen. The two men chatted for a while.

Gu Chen left after a while, figuring it was getting late.

Before leaving, he left his cigarettes on the table. To be honest, he doesn't like smoking, and he doesn't really care about it.

It doesn't matter if he has them or not.

Lao Hu is also a person who doesn't pay attention to details, and he didn't notice at all.

After sending Gu Chen off, he returned.

Seeing the cigarettes left on the table by Gu Chen, he suddenly felt happy.

He didn't expect this kid to be a stickler for details. They were both adults, and some things were understood without being said.

If he were a boss with a few hundred thousand yuan, then maybe he would have left them behind.

But Gu Chen was just a vegetable seller, so how could he have left such expensive cigarettes behind?

This was clearly left for himself.

I didn't expect this buddy to be a stickler for details.

Knowing that he is good to him, he is not bad to himself.

It's a pleasure to be friends with someone like this.

Who doesn't like a sensible person?

Gu Chen went out and bought another fish and some tofu before going home.

It was already half past five when he arrived.

The TV was showing Tom and Jerry, and Tantan and Yanyan were sitting on a small stool watching the cartoon intently.

Since Gu Chen had turned on the TV, Yanyan had been missing it.

Unfortunately, Gu Chen had not been home the previous two days.

As soon as she knew that the family had returned, she immediately came to watch the cartoon. Children like to watch cartoons.

Ji Pianran sat on the chair by the window, showing off the phoenix while watching the two children.

She heard a noise outside the door and looked outside hurriedly.

Seeing that it was Gu Chen who had returned, she quickly put down what she was doing and went out.

Looking at him with a guilty face, she said, 'I'll go cook dinner.'

Gu Chen went out in the afternoon to look after the children at home. Originally, she had planned to start cooking when the time came.

But she kept getting sidetracked and before she knew it, the time had passed.

She hadn't even started cooking when Gu Chen returned.

She felt so guilty.

Gu Chen smiled and said, 'Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I'll cook!'

He didn't want Ji Pianran to cook.

Besides, she and Tangtang are his responsibility, and he wants to keep them healthy and strong.

He wants Ji Pianran to stay put and let him take care of them!

After saying that, Gu Chen carried the groceries into the kitchen.

Ji Pianran hurriedly followed.

She wanted to help Gu Chen cook, because two people cooking together would definitely be faster than one person.

Gu Chen placed the fish he bought in the water basin and expertly cleaned it.

Ji Pianran was holding the pot for cooking rice, and had just poured away the rinsing water. She saw that Gu Chen was cooking fish again today.

She casually said, 'Why do you always eat fish these days?'

Since Gu Chen came back to life, it seems that he has become obsessed with fish, and the family eats fish every other day.

Braised, sweet and sour, steamed.

They eat fish in different ways.

Ji Pianran likes to eat fish, but she knows that Gu Chen didn't seem to like it very much.

Gu Chen was shocked to hear this and thought that Ji Pianran was tired of eating fish.

He hurriedly said, 'I was thinking that I've been eating a lot of meat recently, so I wanted to change it with fish. Although it is also meat, it is more light. If you don't want to eat it, we still have bacon at home, and it is just as good when stir-fried.'

Ji Pianran smiled, 'That's not true, I really like it.'

Gu Chen was relieved to hear this.

'It's because you like it that I cook it. If you don't like it one day, you must let me know right away, and we won't cook fish anymore.'

Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran paused for a moment as she was making the rice.

A layer of emotion instantly rose in her eyes.

It turns out that Gu Chen has always cooked because he likes it.

It's easy to cook once or twice, but he has insisted on cooking for himself every other day, which is really not easy.

He is really good to himself.
