Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 484 Warehouse

"Xiaoya, you probably haven't met Xiaolaizi, you two can get to know each other better."

Zhuang Shijiu said.

"Then should I call you Mr. He Lai or Comrade He Lai?" Zhuang Ya said with a smile.

"Ah? I prefer people to call me Brother Lai!" He Lai joked.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You're not even twenty years old, and you still want me to call you brother!" Zhuang Ya glared at He Lai.

"Uncle Jiu, why did you reveal all my affairs to others? Don't let the mainland know that I came to Hong Kong City and mixed with you. That would be bad!"

He Lai smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Only these few people know about it. My daughter will never go out and tell anyone about it. Don't worry."

Zhuang Shijiu assured.

"Who wants to talk about you?" Zhuang Ya added.

"Hey, who did I offend? Why are they all coming at me? Didn't Uncle Jiu say he wanted to eat Tan's food? I can't even respond."

He Lai made a bitter face and sighed.

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. You're really thick-skinned. Come on and eat. I know you like this."

As Lou Bancheng spoke, he pushed a bowl of braised shark's fin in front of He Lai.

"Thank you, Uncle Lou. I won't be polite then." He Lai picked up the braised shark's fin and started eating.

After the dinner, He Lai was quite satisfied. Although there were some ingredients of Tan family dishes in He Lai's space, and he would occasionally ask Sha Zhu to cook one or two dishes, they were nothing compared to these.

After dinner, He Lai said goodbye and went home. After a busy day, he wanted to take a rest.

When I woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Alas, this evil capitalist society is so comfortable.

He Lai got up, washed up, sat at the dining table and started eating breakfast with a stack of newspapers next to him.

He Lai picked up one and started looking at it.

The Return of the Condor Heroes! What's going on? This was already in 1960.

He Lai looked at it carefully again and found that the author was Jin Yong. Oh, I learned something new. It turns out that Jin Yong was already writing novels at that time. What about The Legend of the Condor Heroes? It should have been finished.

No, I have to meet this old man Jin Yong and get the books of The Legend of the Condor Heroes and The Return of the Condor Heroes. I only saw them on TV before, and now is a good time to feast my eyes on them.

Mr. Jin Yong has written many works, including The Book and the Sword, The Sword Stained with Royal Blood, The Snow Mountain Flying Fox, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, The Double-Edged Swords, The Untold Story, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre, The Deer and the Cauldron, etc., etc., they are all excellent works!

"Old Jin." He Lai called out.

"Here." Butler Jin came over and said immediately.

"Who is this Jin Yong mentioned in Ming Pao? Where does he live? Please help me check it out. If you have any information, tell me."

He Lai pointed at the newspaper and said to Butler Jin.

"Okay, young master." Butler Jin nodded in agreement.

"Well, take the newspaper." He Lai nodded with satisfaction and continued eating breakfast.

After a while, the phone rang and He Lai walked over and answered it.

It turned out to be Lu Zixuan calling to tell He Lai that the warehouse had been rented and was right in Tsim Sha Tsui, and asked He Lai if he wanted to go and take a look.

He Lai naturally agreed happily and asked the driver to take him to Tsim Sha Tsui Pier.

When he arrived at the dock, He Lai got out of the car and saw Lu Zixuan already waiting for him.

He Lai looked at the Victoria Harbour in front of him. It was really beautiful. On the opposite side were towering skyscrapers, but this side was full of docks and giant cargo ships docked.

"Mr. He, come this way, the warehouse is just ahead." Lu Zixuan stepped forward and greeted.

"Okay, let's go." He Lai responded and walked over.

When He Lai and others arrived in front of several large warehouses, Lu Zixuan stepped forward and opened the warehouse door.

"Mr. He, how is it? I rented three warehouses like this, connected together, 91, 92, and 93. Is that enough?"

Lu Zixuan asked.

"Well, it's OK." He Lai nodded, indicating that he was quite satisfied, and then he said, "Zixuan, I have a batch of things coming here soon. Please tell the people here not to get close to these warehouses, okay?"

"Mr. He, do you need me to find someone to help you unload it?" Lu Zixuan asked.

"No, my people will naturally unload the things, and you just need to deal with them when the time comes."

He Lai replied.

"He Sheng, what is it? Can you tell me now?"

Lu Zixuan asked.

"It's some meat. The quality is pretty good." He Lai did not hide it from Lu Zixuan. After all, he would have to rely on him to sell it when the time comes.

"Oh? Mr. He, how many are there approximately? That way I can find a buyer." Lu Zixuan was a little confused as to how come He Lai had such a large quantity of meat.

"I estimate it's over a thousand tons." He Lai said nonchalantly.

"Ah! Thousands of tons of meat! So much!" Lu Zixuan said in surprise.

"Hmm? Any problem?" He Lai asked.

"No, no, then Mr. He, is there anything wrong with the meat? I mean, is the meat fresh?"

Lu Zixuan asked hurriedly.

"The meat is guaranteed to be fine and absolutely fresh. Didn't I tell you? The quality is top-notch! You can contact us without any worries."

He Lai smiled and said, after all, this is something from his own space, the quality is absolutely first-class.

"Okay, Mr. He, when can we see the meat?" Lu Zixuan asked.

"The day after tomorrow morning. I'll give you two days to contact the buyer. My meat may be a bit mixed. I have wild boar, venison, beef, and various bird meats. If it's inconvenient, you can find a freezer and store it there first."

He Lai said.

"Okay, congratulations." Lu Zixuan agreed.

"Okay, let's go, accompany me to take a look at our store." He suggested after visiting the warehouse.

"it is good."

……

Along the way, He Lai saw Lu Zixuan seemed to be hesitant to speak, but he still smiled and said, "Zixuan, you want to ask me something, right? Ask."

Seeing He Lai took the initiative to speak, Lu Zixuan said, "Mr. He, I want to ask, since you have so much meat, why do you still need me to collect food? Why don't you just give them the meat?"

"Zixuan, you don't understand. It's not that I don't want to give you the meat, but I can't. The mainland implements a bill policy, and you need a bill to buy anything.

Because I can't tell you the origin of this batch of meat, I'm afraid that if I give it to you, you won't be able to see me anymore.

You are asked to donate food because you are from Hong Kong. If you donate food, the mainland government will only thank you for your support, but I can’t do that. I have to stay in the dark.”

He Lai could only give a casual explanation. In fact, He Lai has donated a lot of grain in recent years, estimated to be more than a thousand tons, but the effect does not seem to be very obvious, after all, He Lai can only secretly release grain in the city.

He Lai also discovered that every time he put grain in the warehouse, the amount of grain in the corresponding grain station would be reduced. He didn't know if it was because of the grain supply that the grain that originally belonged to this area was moved elsewhere.

Therefore, the suffering of the people did not improve much. Unless He Lai distributed grain every month, it would still not be enough.

"Oh, I see. Don't worry, Mr. He, I will take care of it." Lu Zixuan also understood a little and knew what He Lai meant.

"Well, don't worry, China won't let us donate in vain. You will understand in the future."

He Lai smiled.

After all, China is a country that values ​​reciprocity the most. You helped me when I was in trouble, and I will surely reward you in the future.
