Rebirth: I became rich by farming

Chapter 674: Chapter 674: Please Take Care (1/5)

"I don’t have it with me, but if you want some, I can’t give it to you tomorrow. The sample was given to me separately, and if you need to stock up, that’s part of a separate delivery. We won’t be here tomorrow, and it’s our day off, so even if the delivery comes, it will have to wait until Monday to be collected. When are you guys heading back to Beijing, Yiran? Are you going back too?"

"They’re taking the early morning flight the day after tomorrow, right after Chenchen’s birthday feast we’re heading to the airport. If you have stock here, I’ll definitely make a trip back to Beijing. If not, I won’t bother going back since there’s nothing much for me to do there. But if you do have stock, changing the flight time is no big deal."

The new term starts on September 15th, and today is only the 16th, so strictly speaking, there’s still more than 20 days left. Delaying the return by a day or two won’t really affect anything.

"Then why not return a bit later? There’ll be a batch of snacks coming this time. After we return, we’ll ask Brother Mengcheng to haul it back, and you can take some with you."

Snacks?

He Yiran remembered Mei Mengzhen mentioning them, but although the snacks had been talked about for a long time, she hadn’t seen what they were yet. "So we’ll find out what they are after you guys come back from Xincheng? But actually, it’s okay if you’re not here. We can go to the Warehouse and haul the goods ourselves."

"That won’t do. You don’t have entry and exit permits. Besides, I can’t trust you to go by yourselves; I’m afraid you might strip my Warehouse bare."

Mei Mengzhen wasn’t joking. She was truly worried, and there was nothing insincere about it, but even with her precaution, upon hearing about the snacks, the people nearby immediately started asking her for some. "Little Zhenzhen, you can’t leave us out when there are snacks."

Fu Rui said, "I didn’t expect Brother Jin to have a sweet tooth too. Zhenzhen, remember to ask for more. I love snacks too, and while you’re at it, let’s get some vegetables, drinks, milk, and all that. Basically, everything except alcohol, we’ll take as much as you have."

Fu Hao nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Fu Rui. They really didn’t need any more alcohol at home for the time being, but they had admittedly stocked up too little of everything else last time. This time they might as well get more.

Mei Mengzhen leaned back against the chair behind her. "You guys are really something."

But it wasn’t impossible. "There’s enough space in the big Warehouse. Just hire a truck and go haul it on Monday. There won’t be any problem when you guys head back, Yiran will be leaving a bit later, she’ll keep an eye on things. And of course, I welcome you all to go together."

He Yiran nodded her head. "Yeah, I’ll leave later and keep watch. Then I’ll send you the bills."

Even though they were wealthy, ever since they met Mei Mengzhen, their spending had skyrocketed, yet they still felt incredibly satisfied.

After finishing the discussion, they left. As Mei Mengzhen closed the private room door behind her, she handed the remaining bottle of headache remedy to Fan Tianyu, "This is for my aunt. Give it to her later. It’s very effective. Whenever she feels uncomfortable, just apply it. No matter how expensive it is to sell, we get it at inventory price, so it’s affordable for us."

Fan Tianyu wasn’t worried about the cost of a bottle of headache remedy, but he was touched that Mei Mengzhen was still thinking of his mother. He didn’t say much; he just wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her into the adjoining private room.

In He Yiran’s private room, they had hardly left when the planning of how to distribute the five bottles of medicine they got each month began.

Although He Yiran was considering expanding the business to attract more buyers and consequently enhance Xiyuan’s reputation, she hadn’t started planning yet when Fu Hao straightforwardly said, "Just sell the ointment to me, all five bottles each month."

He Yiran thought it was unnecessary. "You want them all? What do you need so many for?"

"My head aches." Fu Hao said matter-of-factly. But surely not so many were needed for a headache, He Yiran reasoned, "Let’s not rush into it. Let’s first check the instructions. Although Xiyuan’s products are expensive, they’re worth the cost. A small bottle of ointment can’t truly be used up in just a week."

Indeed, as they read the instructions, it clearly stated that when applied to the affected area, it provided immediate relief. After opening, it should be used within a month, and the remedy was curative. After several uses, one would notice a significant reduction in the frequency of headaches. So when using it, one shouldn’t skimp on the amount. Warning: Use a maximum of one bottle per month, do not exceed this.

There wasn’t a specified amount for each use. As long as it was used within a month, that was fine. So, it depended on the individual. But since the instructions clearly stated only one bottle per month was necessary, there really was no need to stock up too much. He Yiran suggested, "Maybe you should do like Ruirui, and keep two bottles at home. That should be enough."

Although Fu Rui had not yet cured her insomnia, her condition had eased slightly. It was a small improvement, but she could feel it. One shouldn’t underestimate that small effect. Many medications out there didn’t work at all and could even be harmful, so even a little benefit was good for them.

Fu Hao was aware of Fu Rui’s condition, and indeed, having two bottles at home was sufficient. Plus, they weren’t worried about not being able to get more if necessary. After some thought, he agreed, "Alright, reserve two bottles for me when the stock arrives. And the price..."

Mentioning the price wasn’t just difficult for Fu Hao; it was a dilemma for He Yiran as well. "The price hasn’t been set yet. Just take them for now. I think we should decide whether to set our own price or wait until after the auction to pay."

Moreover, with Xiyuan releasing new products, even if they were just snacks, she didn’t believe these people would pass them up. So, they might as well pay for everything together at the end, rather than multiple times a month.

However, the mention of the auction caused Jin Zhan to barely hold back a laugh, and Fu Rui was amused as well.

Seeing them trying not to laugh, He Yiran was a bit confused. "What’s so funny?"

Fu Hao looked at the two of them, sighed, and before he could say anything, Jin Zhan said first, "Do you know who owns that auction house?"

He Yiran obviously didn’t know. She glanced at Jin Zhan, then at Fu Rui and Fu Hao, as if she had figured something out, her face full of disbelief, yet also feeling as though it made sense.

Without waiting for He Yiran to speak, Fu Rui jumped in, "You guessed right, it’s my brother’s."

He Yiran thought she hadn’t guessed at all, since they had already told her, "You and your mystery, Fu Hao. But it’s good. Fu Hao, I hope you’ll take good care of Xiyuan’s products."

She didn’t need to mention it, as Fu Hao was already taking very good care of them. Ever since the first ginseng, Xiyuan’s products had been the finale at the auction, and they fetched high prices.

But He Yiran found this quite amusing. She smiled and then said, "Zhenzhen doesn’t know about this yet. I should send her a message."

No sooner had He Yiran finished speaking than Mei Mengzhen received the text message. After being stunned for a moment, she snapped back to reality.
