Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 274 Isn't this the smile of a concubine riding the world of mortals?
While Cao Lili and Qiao Simei were fighting wits and courage, Xiang Dongfang also followed Cao Zhiqiang to the Citroen CX20 hatchback parked outside the school gate.

Obviously, Xiang Dongfang was very impressed with this cool car.

"Is this your car?" Xiang Dongfang asked subconsciously, "It's so beautiful."

"No, my friend's." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "I just lent it to me."

Just after finishing speaking, Zhang Qianjin who was opening the trunk interrupted with a smile:
"That's right, although Lao Li did buy this car, but Lao Li is now your subordinate, the president, so the car he honored to you is naturally your own car.

If you like it, when he comes back later, I will tell him, just pass it to you, I believe he will be happy. "

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "As long as you can be poor, move things quickly!"

"Oh, that's it!" Zhang Qianjin looked at Xiang Dongfang, then nodded with a smile, opened the trunk, and began to move boxes one by one.

After Zhang Qianjin moved out the five large boxes of fruits, Cao Zhiqiang said: "Well, Lao Zhang, let's move these to my sister's house together. You and I will have two boxes. The lightest box of bananas will be moved to Mr. Xiang." ,is that OK?"

"Of course I'm fine." Zhang Jin said, "But the lightest banana weighs five catties, can Teacher Xiang do it?"

"If it's five catties, I should be fine." Xiang Dongfang smiled.

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang first went to say something nice to the janitor. After the janitor nodded, Cao Zhiqiang, Zhang Qianjin and Xiang Dongfang moved the five boxes of fruits to Cao Lili's house.

Seriously, it does feel a bit heavy.

Because except for bananas, which weigh more than five catties, each of the other boxes weighs more than ten catties.

Cao Zhiqiang and Zhang Qianjin each had to carry two boxes, which meant that each of them had to carry more than 20 catties.

Although it is not impossible for a grown man to lift twenty catties, it would be a bit strenuous if he had to walk a long distance.

Zhang Qianjin is fine. When he usually sets up a stall, he is considered a hard worker. In addition, he is older and has more physical strength. He can handle more than 20 kilograms of boxes.

Cao Zhiqiang is different. He is only 19 years old, and his body has not yet fully grown. In addition, he basically does not do physical work, so it is really difficult to carry things weighing more than 20 kilograms.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang stopped and walked, and finally moved the things upstairs.

Of course, during this period, Zhang Qianjin wanted to carry an extra box for Cao Zhiqiang.

If Xiang Dongfang wasn't here, Cao Zhiqiang probably would have agreed.

But since there is a girl here, Cao Zhiqiang said that he can't lose his position, so he can only bite the bullet and move.

As a result, when Cao Zhiqiang moved his things into the room, he was already out of breath and his forehead was sweating.

It's a pity that after Cao Zhiqiang brought the things here, Qiao Simi and Cao Lili were so busy enjoying the thrill of opening the box that they didn't notice Cao Zhiqiang's weakness at all.

As for Zhang Qianjin, after moving the things in, he immediately left to wait outside, saying nothing and staying, not even drinking his saliva.

The reason is simple, this is Cao Zhiqiang's younger sister's family, and they are basically Cao Zhiqiang's relatives, so it is not suitable for Zhang Qianjin to stay.

If he didn't have any strength in his eyes, then he would have been self-employed for so many years in vain.

On the other hand, Xiang Dongfang picked up a book with great insight and fanned Cao Zhiqiang, and asked while fanning the wind, "Are you tired, do you want some water?"

"I'm really thirsty." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Xiang Dongfang nodded, put down the fan-fan book, picked up a glass very familiarly, and poured a cup of tea from the teapot.

After realizing that the cup of tea was very hot, she took out another glass without saying a word, and then poured the previous cup of hot tea into the new cup.

After pouring it back and forth a few times in this way, the hot tea became warm.

Feeling that the tea is ready to drink, Xiang Dongfang handed the tea to Cao Zhiqiang with both hands: "President Cao, you can drink it."

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang, who subconsciously took the teacup, was taken aback, "Why do you call me President Cao?"

Xiang Dongfang smiled: "Didn't that Big Brother Zhang say that on the road before, you have been promoted now, and you are the president of the publishing house, so I will call you President Cao, why, isn't it right?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "Hey, I was just about to tell you that there is no need to do this between us. You are not my subordinate. It sounds too awkward for you to call me that."

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "That's it...how about this? Let's talk about friendship, I call you Zhiqiang, you call me Dongfang, how about it?"

"Okay, Dongfang!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Zhiqiang." Xiang Dongfang also nodded with a smile.

After changing their names, Cao Zhiqiang stopped thinking about it and drank the cup of tea.

After finishing drinking, Xiang Dongfang poured another cup of tea for Cao Zhiqiang, and continued to make the hot tea in the same way to make the hot tea warm quickly.

After drinking two cups of tea in a row, Cao Zhiqiang no longer asked Xiang Dongfang to pour tea, but took out a durian himself and asked to open durian for everyone on the spot.

"It stinks, what is this?" Qiao Simei asked.

"It's called durian." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "It's imported from Malaysia and then brought from the south. It's very scarce in China now, but it's not in short supply in Hong Kong. It's a... a friend brought it to me. , quite rare."

"Oh, this is durian." Qiao Simei nodded, "But it smells so bad, can it be delicious?"

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head: "You don't understand, this thing smells bad and tastes good, you will know later."

After finishing speaking, Cao Zhiqiang split open the durian skin with a knife, washed his hands again, and dug out the durian meat one by one, and put them on a plate for everyone to eat with a spoon.

After Qiao Simei took a bite carefully, her eyes widened immediately: "Wow, it's delicious, smooth and sweet, it feels like eating ice cream, no, it's even better than ice cream!"

"It's really delicious." Cao Lili also nodded, "The taste is a bit strange, but it's really delicious."

Xiang Dongfang, who also took a sip, also nodded: "Yes, it's really unusual. I haven't tasted this kind of taste since I was a child."

Speaking of this, Xiang Dongfang looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "This thing is difficult to transport, right? I've heard of durians. It seems to be very difficult to preserve and easy to break."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "This thing is particularly perishable, so you have to eat it quickly and finish it early, or it will break in two or three days."

"That's it." Qiao Simi said regretfully, "I want to save such a delicious thing and eat it slowly. Can't I put it in the refrigerator?"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "When I say two or three days, I mean the time in the refrigerator. If you don't put it in the refrigerator, it will go bad in one day. But don't worry, if you like it, let my friend bring it over next time."

"Okay!" Qiao Simei smiled, "Don't forget to bring some more next time, this food is so delicious!"

"Simei!" Cao Lili glared at Qiao Simei, and then asked Cao Zhiqiang, "Brother, this thing is so easy to break, it must be hard luck, it is not easy to get it?"

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "At present, it has to be transported by air, and there is no other way, because it is a southern fruit. If it is not transported by air, train or car, it will be broken."

"Forget it then." Cao Lili frowned.

"Airplane transport is too extravagant, isn't this just laughing like a concubine riding the red dust?
Such a scarce and troublesome fruit must be a waste of money and people, so it's better not to get it, the impact will be bad. "

As soon as Cao Lili said that, Cao Zhiqiang immediately smiled and said, "Okay, since Lili said so, then I will listen to you."

Well, in fact, there are still a lot of durians in Cao Zhiqiang's system space, because they are all signed in by the system.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang also thinks that this thing is a bit eye-catching, so it's fine to eat a few secretly, and it's not a big problem.

If you eat too much, you will definitely get into trouble.

Because during this period, although durians had begun to be introduced to Hainan for cultivation in China, the climate had not yet formed, and commercial flower operations could not be carried out, especially if they could not be transported to the north.

So during this period, [-]% of the durians available in China were imported.

But the problem is that durians are not officially allowed to be imported in China at this time, so all the imported durians in China at this time are basically imported illegally.

It's just that the customs inspection during this period was very sloppy, especially the customs inspection of food was very loose, and all kinds of imported fruits brought into the country by private individuals from abroad would basically not be made things difficult.

However, this method of private piggybacking can only be done in a small amount, and it will not work if the amount is too large.

Therefore, there will be no problem if you use a small amount to try out the early adopters. If there are large batches, it will be really difficult for Cao Zhiqiang to deal with it.

In fact, it’s fine for others, if you keep your mouth shut, it’s okay to eat secretly.

But Qiao Simei was young and couldn't keep her words in her heart, it would be bad if she showed off.

Coupled with the fact that Xiang Dongfang, an outsider, is here, it is even more inconvenient for Cao Zhiqiang to get more of this scarce fruit.

After everyone finished eating a durian, Cao Zhiqiang explained the real purpose of the trip.

The purpose is very simple, it is to take Cao Lili and Qiao Simei out for dinner later.

Of course, eating is not the main purpose, the main purpose is to take the opportunity to meet Cao Jiajia.

After so long, the family should meet formally and get to know each other.
