Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 317 No Need to Act Like a Rich Man
The two waited for more than twenty minutes, and a bus slowly stopped by the roadside.

A man in his thirties quickly got out of the car and greeted Qi Xianbin enthusiastically when he saw him.

"Chief Qi, long time no see! You must have been waiting for a long time. This road is not easy to walk on."

The two shook hands, and Qi Xianbin replied: "Yu Jie, this is Qin Hao, a famous young entrepreneur in our county."

He introduced the two to each other, and then said: "This is a rare learning opportunity, please take good care of me."

Hearing this, Yu Jie turned to look at Qin Hao and was surprised to see that he was so young. "Okay, since County Chief Qi asked me to do so, I will definitely take care of it."

"Please get in the car first, County Magistrate Qi. Let's have a good reunion next time you come back. We don't have time this time."

I still have to hurry to another place to catch a train, time waits for no one.

"Okay, okay." Qi Xianbin nodded and watched them get into the car.

Qin Hao was sitting in the car, looking at Qi Xianbin waving at him outside, and felt a little touched.

The two of them didn't have much of a relationship, but now he was willing to help him. How could a stranger do that?

In fact, he also knew that there was not much interaction between the two of them, and Qi Xianbin helped him only for the county's economy.

But he wouldn't just ignore the favor, would he? Of course he should be grateful.

The car started and drove farther and farther away, and Qin Hao also withdrew his gaze.

There were more than a dozen people in the car, including men, women, young and old. No one spoke, and everyone closed their eyes to rest.

Qin Hao sat alone in the front, and the others sat in the back.

Yu Jie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back, then stood up and sat down next to Qin Hao.

"Comrade, this is your first time to Guangdong Province, right? The economy there is developed, much more prosperous than here."

He took the initiative to come over and speak, and Qin Hao understood what he meant.

He smiled and replied, "Yes, it's my first time there, and I don't know the customs and practices there."

"Didn't you bring more clothes?" Yu Jie found that he only had a small suitcase, and there weren't many clothes in it, right?
Qin Hao replied: "I brought it, a set of clothes is enough."

If you don’t have enough clothes, just buy more. Where can you find clothes?
Yu Jie looked at him with a complicated expression, sighed and said, "It gets hot there earlier than here. Even though it's only the end of March, people there don't wear coats anymore."

"If you bring a sweater and trousers, you will be very hot. It's best to buy new clothes when you get off the bus."

Of course, this was his suggestion.

Qin Hao finally understood what he meant, "If it's hot, I'll buy it, thank you."

He didn't know how to address the other person. Calling him by his name seemed a bit inappropriate, but calling him brother seemed like he was trying to get close to him.

I simply didn't say anything and just waited to see how others called him.

After saying this, Yu Jie returned to the passenger seat and no one spoke during the entire journey.

Except for a stop to add water and eat, and for everyone to go to the toilet, we didn't stop again.

We arrived at the train station at around noon, and Yu Jie bought tickets for everyone, all of them were sleeper berths.

Except for those whose medical expenses are reimbursed by their employers, those like Qin Hao who do not have an employer need to pay extra.

He observed that there were about five people like him who were not assigned outside the unit.

It should be a representative of a provincial enterprise, but I’m not sure about the details.

"Let's go have a meal first. The train will arrive in more than an hour." Yu Jie looked at his watch and it was still early.

After hearing what he said, everyone agreed.

There are many restaurants near the station, both large and small. Since there were many people, they chose to go to a larger restaurant so that they didn't have to share a table.

"Secretary Yu, I'll treat you to dinner. I'll need your care along the way." A man in his thirties stepped forward, smiling.

She looks ordinary, but her bulging belly proves that she is in really good condition. No one said anything after hearing this. It doesn't matter who pays for the meal. Even if no one pays, their company will reimburse them.

"Zhang Qiang, isn't this too expensive?" Yu Jie looked at the other party with a hesitant look and a smile on his face.

In fact, it doesn't matter who pays for the meal, but he is afraid that this person will cause trouble over a meal. With so many people traveling together, problems are bound to arise.

Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "Why spend money? We all met because of this exhibition group. Knowing each other is fate. It's okay for me to treat everyone to a meal, right? Let's go!"

His generosity made Yu Jie say nothing more and he could only take them into the restaurant.

It was still dinner time and all the restaurants were busy, so we all sat down at a large table that could seat twenty people, which was quite spacious.

There were eighteen of us, and after we sat down, we waited for Zhang Qiang to order. He said it was his treat, so no one took the initiative.

But in the end, someone couldn't sit still anymore. A woman in her twenties stood up and went over to order food. She had a smile on her face and pointed at the menu from time to time.

"It's not her treating, so she still has the nerve to order food." The person who spoke was a girl with short hair. Judging from her clothes, she should be from the unit.

Because these people have requirements for their dress and appearance, they cannot perm their hair or wear too brightly colored clothes.

The person next to the girl motioned for her to stop talking, and both of them curled their lips.

After a while they came back, Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "I don't know what everyone likes, so I just ordered some at random."

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry to have cost you money." Yu Jie said with a smile.

"No, no, it's what we should do. We should help each other and keep in touch with each other when we go out!" Zhang Qiang did not get complacent. He was always very enthusiastic and not pretentious.

Qin Hao just watched from the side without saying anything. He would eat whatever people ordered anyway, so there was no need to act like a rich man in a place like this.

However, he could understand Zhang Qiang's approach. Everyone was from different places, and it was better to get to know more people when going out.

You should be grateful to others for what they have done for you. If you have any problems in the future, can you please stand up and say something?
"How about we all have a drink?" The woman who had helped to order food suggested to everyone with shining eyes.

Most people frowned when they heard this. Why would they drink wine when they were going out to catch a car? They were not going out for a picnic.

"Liang Lijuan, this is a business trip, not a vacation. If you want to drink, you can drink as much as you want when you get to your destination. It's not appropriate now." Yu Jie didn't want to tolerate it and directly rejected it.

Liang Lijuan was not angry either. She smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't think of that. Secretary Yu, please don't be angry. I am a very thick-skinned person."

She didn't seem embarrassed at all, but rather very natural.

No one said anything, but some people felt that she was indeed insane, otherwise how could she say such things?

Qin Hao didn't think so. He just thought that this person was sick in the brain.

A smart person wouldn't say these things in such situations, and a fool wouldn't get angry when being refuted.

After everyone finished their meal, they immediately went to the station to wait.

Qin Hao bought a lunch box, some tea eggs, and some rolled pancakes with soybean paste and green onions.

This thing is enough to fill you up. There’s not much to eat on the train and he doesn’t want to squeeze into the restaurant.

Some people saw him buying things and followed suit to buy some food.

There are not only pancakes with scallions, but also dried tofu with scallions, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, fried melon seeds and peanuts, all kinds of food are available.

There are also people selling boxed lunches, which are packed in aluminum boxes. They pour the food into the lunch boxes of buyers.

We don’t have foam lunch boxes here yet, but I guess they must be available in the south.

Qin Hao looked around and saw nothing to buy, so he finally bought two pounds of melon seeds and packed them in, just to eat when he had nothing else to do.

After getting on the bus, everyone found their own berth, which was separated by gender for convenience.

I’m also afraid that there will be a gap and it will be inconvenient to chat and talk.
