Chapter 876 Homecoming from a business trip (1/3)
The next day, Mei Xiaoran drove back to Nanping City with Cheng Mang.
Of course, at the first stop, Mei Xiaoran would have to go back to his home and return to Kangping County.
Cheng Mang came to Nanping for the first time. It was almost May Festival. The Nanping Basin was full of bumper harvests. The wheat fields on both sides were already ripe, and the heavy wheat ears exuded the unique fragrance of wheat.
As a girl who grew up in a provincial capital, Cheng Mang has never been to the countryside, and even the small county towns below have almost never been there. This is an eye-opener for her, "Ran Ran, your hometown is very beautiful!"
"It's okay, my home is mainly in the basin, and the surrounding areas are mountains. There are only a handful of mountains I have seen when I grew up!"
Cheng Mang laughed, "No wonder you were so happy when you saw so many mountains last time in Liushi."
"It's the same as when you saw this wheat field. After all, you are a girl who grew up in a city and never came to a small county."
They talked and chatted, and returned to Kangping County at noon.
Mei Xiaoran was afraid that there would be no one at home at this moment, so she took Cheng Mang to the store. At this moment, Li Mingyun was in the store. He was very excited to see her daughter coming back: "Ran Ran, are you back?"
"Mom, this time I will come back for a business trip with my colleague."
Mei Xiaoran introduced Cheng Mang to her mother. Cheng Mang did not expect that Mei Xiaoran and her mother actually looked so beautiful and so foreign. In her impression, the women in the small county were in their forties. It must be very rustic from dressing to air. But Mei Xiaoran's mother is younger than her mother looks, and she is even more fashionable than her mother!
Li Mingyun was hot with hot air, smeared with bean paste lipstick, and wore a bean-green dress with a small suit collar. The waist was a belt about two fingers wide. The skirt was still pleated and paired with a pair of white. High-heeled sandals, that western style, are not inferior even in the provincial capital.
"Auntie, I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful!"
Li Mingyun opened his eyes and smiled happily when he heard this. This girl is so good at talking, this is to her heart!
"Oh, your girl is so good at talking, she looks so quiet, and she usually works with Ran Ran, so Ran Ran hasn't let you take care of her?"
"That's not the case. Ran Ran is very capable. Among the group of college students in our factory, the most capable is Ran Ran. She is now the backbone of the factory."
"You two are hungry, I'll take you first
eat. "
Li Mingyun hurriedly took the two children to the Rooster Chicken House diagonally opposite to eat, and ordered a few side dishes, wontons, and iced drinks.
This generous look shocked Cheng Mang: "Auntie, you have ordered enough, we can't finish it."
"It's okay, it's rare for you to come here, and you must be full."
Mei Xiaoran took the opportunity to hold her mother's hand, tilted her head on her mother's shoulder and made fun of Cheng Mang: "How is my mother?"
"Great!"
Cheng Mang didn't say that she lived like this in front of her mother, which shows that Mei Xiaoran's mother and daughter have a deep relationship.
"Hurry up and eat."
Li Mingyun knew that her daughter came back from a business trip. Of course, she was inconvenient to ask about work, so she just asked about life, "You must have not eaten properly during this time, and this face seems to be thin and sharp."
"My mother, I have a round face, and I can't make a sharp face no matter how thin I am."
Cheng Mang couldn't help but said: "During this period of time, it was really hard and the work pressure was great."
"Then don't eat more."
When Li Mingyun heard it, I felt distressed, and wished Mei Xiaoran a bite of a fat man.
"Mom, I managed to lose weight so little, I don't want to gain weight."
Although she said this, Mei Xiaoran’s mouth was not idle, and she hadn’t eaten the food from her hometown for a long time. Although it was not the meal made by her mother, the roast chicken and wontons of the Gao family have always been her favorites. It's fun to eat.
Cheng Mang was also very happy to eat, and the food was very appetizing to her.
After eating, Mei Xiaoran took Cheng Mang back to her home.
Although it is an ordinary small yard, Li Mingyun tidied it up especially clean, although it is only a blue brick house, it makes people feel very comfortable looking at it.
Mei Xiaoran led Cheng Mang directly into her bedroom. Although she and her brother were not at home, her sex was still so neat and tidy, which meant that her mother often came to clean.
"Poor parents in the world, seeing that your bed is so clean, you know that auntie must always come to clean up."
Mei Xiaoran was also a little uncomfortable. Since she was in college, she has only focused on her career. In the past few years, she has lived in a handful of days. Although her parents are not very old now, she and Lei Lei are both outside. Even if Lei Lei graduates from graduate school, she would definitely not be assigned to this small place in Kangping County. When I was in school, the family of four didn't feel it when they were together, but now I feel that it's really farther and farther away.
After the lunch break, Mei Xiao
Ran briefly discussed with Cheng Mang: "Should we go to Neiping County this afternoon or go there early tomorrow?"
"It's better to go and get the medicinal materials early, my brother-in-law must be in a hurry in the factory."
"Then let's go now."
Mei Xiaoran drove Cheng Mang to Neiping County. The distance between the two counties is 70 or 80 miles, which is more than an hour's drive.
When he arrived at the medicinal material base, Mei Xiaoran found the person in charge and asked: "I didn't say before that the Chinese medicine in your base should give priority to our pharmaceutical factory. Why would you say that it changed?"
"It's not that we don't want to keep the agreement, the price others give is high, do you say we sell it or not?"
Wang Kui, the person in charge of the Chinese medicine base, was smoking a cigarette, squinting his eyes, standing in the shade, and still reasoning to Mei Xiaoran: "Girl, now is a society that looks to money. It’s not easy for us pharmaceutical farmers? The price you give. It's not high, you let us drink northwest wind."
Cheng Mang felt a little soft when he heard it, and secretly pulled Mei Xiaoran's sleeves, and even wanted to hint Mei Xiaoran: These medicine farmers are so pitiful, should they raise the price
But Mei Xiaoran ignored her, this is not a time to be soft-hearted.
"Uncle, when I came to see you at the beginning of the year, no one pressed your price. We negotiated and set the price. It was a good idea. You suddenly regret it, isn't it inappropriate?"
"The market at the beginning of the year is different from the current market? Are you afraid that we don’t know how hot the Chinese medicine market in Nanping City is now. The Chinese medicines we grow here are very popular when they are shipped to the Chinese medicine market... Now everyone knows that Chinese medicine is good for health. , The business in the Chinese medicine market is getting better, and the price of Chinese medicinal materials has to go up."
Mei Xiaoran thought for a while and said: "I'll just ask you, should your medicinal materials be sold to a regular Chinese medicine factory, or should you sell it to a drug dealer?"
The man was stunned for a moment, biting his cigarette butt and smiling: "What do you mean? If you can't afford it, just say it, why bother here?"
"I mean, our pharmaceutical factory is a formal state-owned enterprise with state support. If you cooperate with us, we can sign a long-term acquisition contract. That is, no matter what the external market is, our factory will order it for you. The price is higher. But the drug dealers are not the same. They will not care about the life and death of your pharmaceutical farmers. Today, when you see the prices on the medicinal materials market, you will come over to collect the high prices. Tomorrow you will see that the prices of the medicinal materials market are reduced, so come here. Desperately lowering prices. To put it bluntly, there is no guarantee. Think about it for yourself?"
