In the evening, when Zhao Xuemei was supposed to be back home, Li Shaoan wanted to go to her house to see her. The two hadn't met much in the past month and missed her very much.

When he went there, Li Shaoan also brought some vegetables he brought back from Tieshan Bay. These were from the greenhouse planting base. They were green, fresh and delicious, and they were rare to eat in winter. When he came out of the village, he thought about bringing some for Zhao Xuemei.

When I came to Zhao Xuemei's house, I knocked on the door, but no one answered inside, and after waiting for a while, no one came to open the door.

Li Shaoan thought to himself that Zhao Xuemei was not here, right? So he knocked on the door a few more times, stood outside the door and waited, but there was still no movement in the room.

It seems that he is really gone. Fortunately, Li Shaoan also got the key to the room at that time, so he took out the key to open the door.

He pushed open the door and walked in. Sure enough, it was empty inside. Li Shaoan called Zhao Xuemei's name a few times, but no one answered. He searched upstairs and downstairs, but there was no Zhao Xuemei's figure.

I don’t know where Zhao Xuemei went, but usually she had to prepare supper at home at this time. Li Shaoan felt a little strange, but she didn’t think too much, because Zhao Xuemei was doing business now and occasionally had socializing outside.

He put the vegetables he brought in the kitchen and sat in the living room for another half an hour. During this period, he was thirsty and burned a pot of boiling water to make a cup of tea. He couldn't wait for Zhao Xuemei, so Li Shao said with peace of mind that he would forget it, and he would come here again next time.

When Li Shaoan came out of the house, it was already dark outside. He locked the door with a key to ensure that he could not open it casually before leaving.

Under the moonlight, a beautiful figure appeared at the gate, his gait was slightly shaking, and it looked like he had drunk some wine.

As soon as Li Shaoan left, Zhao Xuemei returned home and stood at the door and took out the key to open the door.

Although she was a little drunk, she was still awake. When she opened the door, she obviously felt that the lock had been locked by someone. But she remembered that she just brought the door with her when she went out and did not lock it.

Zhao Xuemei's first reaction was that Li Shaoan had come because he was the only one with the key here, but the door was locked with the key from outside, which meant that Li Shaoan should have left at this time.

She was overjoyed at first, but now she felt a little disappointed. She hadn't seen Li Shaoan for a long time. She missed him very much. It was rare that Li Shaoan came over once, but the two of them didn't meet.

He pushed open the door and entered the room. He saw a cup of tea that he had finally seen the bottom of the tea on the table in the living room. Zhao Xuemei was even more sure that Li Shaoan had come to her home.

When I turned on the light, I saw some vegetables piled on the ground. Zhao Xuemei felt warm and knew that these were all brought to her by Li Shaoan.

Today, Wu Changlong from the rice factory invited several business guests, and Zhao Xuemei also called him, saying that everyone would get to know each other, but in fact, it was just a group of big men who had no meaning to eat and drink. If there was a beautiful woman like Zhao Xuemei during the meal, the group of men would have a more enjoyable drink.

Wu Changlong is Zhao Xuemei's most important business partner. All the rice she collected from various townships and villages was turned back into Wu Changlong's hands, so Zhao Xuemei was not easy to refuse Wu Changlong's invitation.

Not long ago, Zhao Xuemei sold the last batch of rice this year in Wu Changlong's hands. She asked Wu Changlong for his blessing. Since she started the rice purchase business, Zhao Xuemei has made some money.

It is winter now, and all the millets that farmers can sell in their hands have been sold, and the rest are left to eat from home and plant them next year. Zhao Xuemei's rice purchase business can only be stopped for the time being.

These business owners are not all obsessed with sex, and they will not touch Zhao Xuemei. Even if they really have such plans in their hearts, they will not dare to do anything explicitly. At most, they will just say one or two dirty jokes from time to time.

Zhao Xuemei knew that she had to protect herself. Faced with these bosses' enthusiastic advice to drink, she could not push her if she could. Then she took a sip and waited until everyone else on the table was drunk, but Zhao Xuemei was still awake.

Among these business friends brought by Wu Changlong today, there is a charcoal business called Xiong Tianbao. His charcoal business is to transport charcoal from townships to the city to sell.

The winter in Nanxiang is extremely cold, wet and damp, and every household has to rely on charcoal for winter, so the consumption of charcoal is very huge in winter.

Often, before winter begins, many villagers in mountain villages start to burn charcoal.

The charcoal burning job first needs to dig a cave, then cut down the adult big tree, saw it into pieces and put it in the earthen kiln, light it on the fire, seal it on the kiln, and fire it for a few days. When the temperature in the cave drops, the dark charcoal will be ready.

The villagers who sell charcoal are generally the hardest living conditions in the village, because charcoal is very hard and dangerous. People often get burned when they enter the cave because the temperature inside is still very high.

However, it is precisely because there are not many people doing this job and the strong demand for charcoal in winter, so as long as you suffer this hard work, you can make a good income while the weather is cold.

It really happened to Bai Juyi’s charcoal seller:

His face was covered in dust and fireworks, his temples were gray and his fingers were black.

What is the money you earn when selling charcoal? What is the food in your body, clothes and mouth.

Poor, my clothes are so simple, I worry about the charcoal and wish the weather is cold.

At the banquet, Zhao Xuemei met Xiong Tianbao. Xiong Tianbao just glanced at Zhao Xuemei and was fascinated by dizziness. When he shook hands, he was even more obsessed with it. He even forgot to take back his hands and laughed foolishly at Zhao Xuemei, his saliva was almost flowing to the ground.

Zhao Xuemei was panicked, but her face was still smiling, and she secretly pulled her hand back with force.

The others who were sitting there laughed at Xiong Tianbao's misconduct just now and used this matter to make him harsh.

During the meal, Xiong Tianbao looked for an opportunity to toast Zhao Xuemei, but Zhao Xuemei was thinking about another thing. The millet was not enough to be harvested at the moment, and it would take until the rice harvest next year. In such a long time, we had to find some other business to do it.

There is no doubt that the best business at the moment is the charcoal business. If you can cooperate with Xiong Tianbao, it will definitely be a good thing.

"Boss Xiong, I happened to have a batch of charcoal on my hand. I wonder if you will collect it?"

This time, Zhao Xuemei took the initiative to pick up the wine glass toast Xiong Tianbao. When Xiong Tianbao saw the beauty toasting, he dared not be negligent at all. He immediately picked up the wine glass, touched Zhao Xuemei lightly, and said proudly: "I've done it, Boss Zhao can do it."

Xiong Tianbao really did it just by saying that he could do it. He raised his head and drank it all over the white wine, and said to Zhao Xuemei with a smile: "I do this business. As long as Boss Zhao has the goods in his hand, of course I will take it."

Zhao Xuemei was delighted and immediately drank the white wine in the cup in one breath. The alcohol tasted very bad, which made Zhao Xuemei tremble slightly, but now a big business is in front of her. If she is unhappy, how can she get the business into her hands?

Seeing Zhao Xuemei drank all the food in one breath, the rest of the deskmate applauded.

"Boss Zhao has a good alcohol tolerance."

"It turns out that men are as good as men, and Boss Zhao is heroic!"
