Chapter 202 Brother Yi, did you drive often before?
After Xu Yu and the others returned, they told him that they were going to the county town the next day. Originally, Zhu Juncheng and the others wanted to go with them, but since they were going to bury the electric poles near Jiang Yi's house the next day, Jiang Yi asked them to stay and help.
Early the next morning, Xu Yu and his friends went to the town to reunite with his brothers and sisters-in-law.
Zhu Juncheng and three others helped deliver some things.
When Xu Jianping saw the bamboo bed they brought over, he asked in surprise, "Sister, why are you bringing a bamboo bed to the county town?"
After saying that, he smiled and said, "Jiang Yi has a car now, so you've even prepared your own bed."
Xu Yu not only brought a bamboo bed, but also a new quilt and mattress.
Hearing this, Xu Yu deliberately kept the secret and said, "You will know why I brought the bamboo bed when we get to the county town."
There was no such thing as overloading in that era, so Xu Yu and Zhao Cui'e sat in the passenger seat together, while the brothers Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping sat in the back.
However, this car has a rear roof with benches and stools inside, which makes it much more comfortable than other cars in town.
When Xu Yu drove out, he also took special care to observe how Jiang Yi drove.
Noticing that he was very skilled at driving, I asked, "Brother Yi, have you driven often before?"
"Not often." Jiang Yi explained to her: "Sometimes I drive it when I go out."
Xu Jianping, who was sitting in the back, shouted, "Jiang Yi, do all of you soldiers have to learn how to drive and repair cars?"
"Correct."
Xu Jianping was envious: "I also want to learn how to drive, but it's a pity that my brother never has the time to teach me."
Xu Yu continued, "Even if Big Brother had time, there wouldn't be a car for you to learn."
Xu Jianping wasn't upset either. He had obviously been eyeing Jiang Yi for a long time. "Here comes Jiang Yi, driving a car back. So, Jiang Yi, when you have time, teach me. Once I've raised the pigs, I'm really going to buy a tractor."
Xu Yu was amused by his second brother's obsession with buying a tractor.
But thinking that being able to afford a tractor in this day and age was a skill, he said to Jiang Yi, "Brother Yi, you can teach my second brother when the time comes."
Jiang Yi hummed.
Xu Jianping was happy.
Because the car was so noisy, he shouted at the back what he was going to do after he learned to drive.
"I'll take you for a ride around the village then."
Hearing this, Xu Yu and Zhao Cui'e couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xu Yu and the others chatted along the way, and felt that the two or three hour drive was not very far.
After the car arrived in the county town, Xu Yu first went to the furniture factory to find Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang was so happy when he saw Xu Yu.
But she was a little busy today and couldn't ask for leave, so she said to her, "Xiaoyu, it's almost lunchtime, please wait for me, I'll treat you to lunch at noon."
Xu Yu smiled and said, "No need for you to treat me. If you're busy, go ahead and do your thing. We'll have dinner together later. We also want to treat Director Wu and Deputy Director Li to a meal."
When Xiao Tang heard this, he didn't bother to be polite with her.
At noon, when it was time to get off work, Xu Yu and others came to pick up Xiao Tang and Director Wu and went to the state-owned restaurant.
Deputy Director Li was already waiting for them at the hotel.
As soon as the two factory managers saw Jiang Yi, they started chatting with him.
Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping were not left behind either.
A few men were chatting about their affairs.
Xu Yu and the other two started talking about Xu Yu's beauty and whitening medicine.
Xiao Tang took out a small notebook and showed it to Xu Yu: "These are for you to regulate your body, these are for you to prescribe medicine according to your skin condition, and these are for you to buy beauty and whitening medicine."
Xu Yu took it and looked at it before saying to her, "I brought a lot of medicine this time. Please help me inform those who want to recuperate. They can come to our house to find me in the afternoon."
Xiao Tang nodded: "I'll send someone to take the letter later."
Xu Yu smiled and took Xiao Tang's hand to thank him: "Xiao Tang, I can have so many clients, it's really all thanks to your help."
Then he said, "When I make money in the future, I'll give you 30% of it. What do you think?"
Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She felt that the friendship would deteriorate if money was discussed. She frowned and said to her, "We are friends. I am very grateful that you have treated me and my family for free. How can you ask for a share of the profits?"
"That's not the case." Xu Yu began to instill in Xiao Tang the importance of dividing the money when doing business together.
At the end of the conversation, he even stopped the men who were talking and said to Xiao Tang, "Ask them if I should thank you for introducing me to other guests."
Before the two factory managers could speak, Xu Jianjun and Xu Jianping immediately nodded in agreement.
Xu Jianping said, "You deserve this. If it weren't for you, my sister wouldn't have become so famous in the county. If you don't accept my sister's thanks, she will definitely feel bad."
Xu Yu nodded: "That's right."
Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Li also smiled and said, "It's one thing for you to have a good relationship. You helped introduce customers, so it's only right for Xiao Xu to thank you again."
After hearing this, Xiao Tang subconsciously looked at Director Wu.
Director Wu also nodded at her and said, "Since Xiaoyu wants to thank you for your help, just go ahead and help her well in the future."
Xu Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Tang, you see they all agree with my proposal. Don't worry about it. Don't blame me. Ask Director Wu and Deputy Director Li if they would thank Brother Yi if they asked him for long-term help."
Deputy Director Li continued to nod with a smile: "Of course we should thank him. Otherwise, if Comrade Jiang says he won't help us, who will we cry to?"
Xiao Tang thought for a moment before nodding to Xu Yu.
Xu Yu patted the back of her hand happily: "That's right."
The men continued to talk about Jiang Yi and his team building a house.
Director Wu and Deputy Director Li both have many connections in this county. As long as Jiang Yi and Xu Yu tell them what they want to build, they can help them get it done.
Jiang Yi and Xu Yu had discussed this matter a long time ago.
Jiang Yi said, "We will draw the design ourselves, and it will take two days at most. After that, I want to meet the people who will build the house."
The two factory managers readily agreed and said they would greet these people in the afternoon.
Then they talked about other topics, and Jiang Yi mentioned Xu Jianping's pigs.
The two factory managers were straightforward and said they would help talk to the factory's head chef about this matter and write back to him in a few days.
This matter was obviously a trivial matter for the two factory managers. With their guarantee, Xu Jianping felt relieved.
Then they changed the subject and talked about the furniture factory's sales of furniture.
Jiang Yi had previously promised to write a recommendation letter for Director Wu, but this time he said he would call and discuss the matter personally.
A smile also appeared on Director Wu's rather serious face.
Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "If Old Wu can secure the furniture supply for the dormitory area of a large state-owned enterprise, our county furniture factory will be able to expand quickly, and perhaps even build dormitories. When the time comes to expand the factory and build dormitories, Old Wu, don't forget to come to our factory to order bricks and tiles."
Director Wu nodded and said, "I'm definitely going to order bricks and tiles from you."
Both of them couldn't help laughing.
During the meal, Director Wu and Deputy Director Li also called the head chef of the state-owned restaurant to sit with them for a while.
Since Jiang Yi personally asked to help his brother-in-law sell pork, they would definitely do their best to help if they could.
The head chef of the state-owned restaurant was also very polite to Jiang Yi. However, when it came to the pork, he didn't give a definite answer. He just said with some embarrassment, "The person who supplies pork to our restaurant has never made any mistakes. Especially since we have been working together for so many years, it's not easy for me to change them just like that."
Since he said that, everyone felt relieved. After chatting for a few more minutes, the head chef went in.
Xu Jianping was a little disappointed, thinking that since the other party refused, he definitely had no hope.
Unexpectedly, the two factory managers asked Jiang Yi to bring Xu Jianping to see the chef more often.
Jiang Yi nodded in agreement.
After finishing their meal, Xu Yu and the others went to the rented house. Xu Jianping asked Jiang Yi in confusion, "Jiang Yi, the head chef at the state-owned restaurant already refused. Why did Director Wu and Deputy Director Li ask us to contact him several more times?"
Before Jiang Yi could even open his mouth, Xu Yu said to him, "You're stupid! How can everything go smoothly in business? If you give up as soon as things don't go well, you'll never succeed. So, second brother, when you start selling pork, you must be thick-skinned and look for people you can talk to. Don't be afraid of being rejected. It's normal to be rejected a few times."
"Of course, you can't just come to these people empty-handed, or it'll be annoying. You have to find out what they and their families like, and then bring something their families like next time you come."
"Come a few more times, and you will definitely succeed."
Xu Yu's words made Xu Jianping and others look at her with surprise.
Even Jiang Yi's eyes when he looked at her were deep.
Xu Jianping asked Xu Yu, "Sister, who taught you these words? How could you have such...thoughts?"
He originally wanted to talk about the capitalists' ideas, but even in his own territory, he was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall, so he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Although the others didn't say anything, they all looked at her with this look.
