The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

While Du Ming was out, Fang Tiesheng opened his notebook, took out his phone, and called Zhao Junchen.

I briefly told him that I had found a transit warehouse at the Zhengding Night Market.

Zhao Junchen's voice was tinged with laughter: "Grandpa, you're really quick. You've got the warehouse under control so fast."

Knowing he didn't have much time for pleasantries, Fang Tiesheng got straight to the point: "Boss Zhao, I'd like to ask about the current prices of cement, sand, and the other materials you mentioned. Approximately how much would it cost to build a road around the village?"

If we need to repair a septic tank, how much will it cost?

Hearing the somewhat anxious voice on the other end, Zhao Junchen patiently said, "Grandpa, please don't worry. Shall I add you on WeChat and send you the detailed price list?"

What is prestige? Fang Tiesheng asked, puzzled.

Sister Zheng mentioned this word before, and now I've heard it again.

"I have no authority."

"Then I'll send you a text message. There are many types of building materials and prices, so I'm afraid you won't remember them all. You can take a look in a bit; the materials list and prices are all there. By the way, can large trucks drive on the roads in your village? If they can, you can buy C25 for paving and bring a truckload of it over for direct pouring. That will save you a lot of trouble; you won't have to mix and proportion the materials yourself."

Fang Tiesheng pondered for a moment and then said, "No. Boss Zhao, how about this, can you arrange delivery now? Please take some cement, sand, gravel, and materials needed to build the septic tank retaining wall so I can take them back to show the villagers."

I know it's getting late, so I'll give you an extra tip for your trouble.

He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, shamelessly asking Boss Zhao to bring back a little of everything, so he would know what to use in the future.

Writing things down on paper and imagining them is not as convenient and reassuring as having something tangible to take home and ponder.

"Alright, sir. I'll bring you the warehouse's exact address, but I need to gather everything I need, which may take an hour or so."

Fang Tiesheng gave Zhao Junchen the address on the contract.

Zhao Junchen knew that if this deal went through, it would be a huge business for building houses, bricklaying, and repairing roads for the entire village, making it worth the trip. He quickly grabbed his car keys, called his familiar PVC pipe supplier, and rushed out to prepare the goods.

With everything mostly done, Fang Tiesheng breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to ask his daughter if she was tired, he saw the little girl holding a remote control in her hand, excitedly pressing the buttons as the door rose and fell, having a great time.

Well, you have plenty of energy.

Looking at the furnishings in the room, Fang Tiesheng remembered that Xiao Du had installed a panel before the light could be turned on, and then turned to ponder the switch at the door.

The grandfather and grandson were studying their respective subjects when Du Ming strode in, holding a rag in one hand and a dustpan and broom in the other.

He leaned the dustpan and broom against the wall, then stuffed the keys, rags, and thermometer from his pocket into Fang Tiesheng's hands. "Grandpa, please keep the keys. You can make do with the brooms and rags that are not in use at home."

"This...you're too kind..." Fang Tiesheng quickly waved his hand.

"Anyway, it's no use keeping it at home. I'm leaving now, little one, don't forget my scallions!" Du Ming waved to Ya Ya.

"Okay, I remember, Uncle!" Ya Ya waved back.

Right now, we're waiting for Zhao Junchen to bring over some things, which will give us a chance to buy canned food for Ya Xian.

Fang Tiesheng put the rag on the table, put the key in his pocket, and called to Ya Ya, "Nannan, let's go buy canned food for Duck Fairy."

Ya Ya paused, her little hand still. Oh dear, she had almost forgotten about Grandpa Fang if he hadn't mentioned it.

"Okay! I also need to buy some sweet juice; Grandma Duck likes it too!"

Fang Tiesheng smiled and agreed.

Following the route Du Ming had led them along, the grandfather and grandson turned through several alleys and returned to the bustling night market city center.

As Fang Tiesheng smelled the enticing aromas and looked at the dazzling array of food stalls on both sides, he couldn't help but ask Ya Ya, "Daughter, with so much delicious food, why don't you buy some for yourself?"

I've come so many times, but I've only seen my daughter buy things on her own twice. Once it was the starch sausage, and the other time it was sweet soup and beef skewers.

Ya Ya frowned and said, "I can't eat just anything. Last time I ate something random and I got diarrhea. Besides, the food here is so expensive. A piece of ham costs two yuan, and two yuan can buy a lot of fine rice."

Fang Tiesheng felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this and silently patted Ya Ya's little head.

We still have to make money, and make as much as we can!

As he walked, he looked around at the scenery. There were tall stone houses on both sides, and the sky did not seem as clear and bright as it was in Lotus Village at night. It seemed that not a single star could be seen here, even though they could be seen every night.

He seemed to vaguely understand why their vegetables could be sold at such high prices.

It must be because this place lacks mountains, forests, and fields that the products from the mountains are so precious.

In the future, we should cultivate more wasteland and grow more vegetables. Although we can't bring wild animals, we can try to make them into sauce and bring them over to see how well they sell.

While pondering ways to make money, the two unknowingly arrived at the convenience store.

The shelves were filled with all kinds of brightly colored packaging, and the canned food that Duck Fairy loved to eat even filled a small wall.

Fang Tiesheng picked out a box of canned yellow peaches, a box of canned strawberries, and a box of mixed fruit, all of which had been requested by Duck Fairy. Each box contained six cans and was quite heavy.

This convenience store also has freezers. Fang Tiesheng opened one after imitating others and realized why it was called a freezer.

It could even generate its own chill!

He took a few bottles of cola and a few cans labeled "refreshing and energizing" from the freezer, and then grabbed two large bottles of fresh milk from the side before going to the counter to pay.

"Please take this to this place for me. I'll pay you for your trouble." Fang Tiesheng cupped his hands in greeting to the cashier.

Previously, if you bought a lot of rice in town, the shops would help deliver it.

This should work too.

"Grandpa, we don't deliver here. Why don't you order a delivery service through Meituan?"

"Sister, what is Meituan, and where is it?" Ya Ya asked curiously. "This name is so strange. Pretty little dumpling?"

The cashier hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the old man's phone; the screen was large, and the icons were even larger.

It's a classic contract phone for seniors; I haven't downloaded any apps yet.

"I'll order one for you. Just tell me your address, and you'll have to pay for it yourself." The cashier thought for a moment and decided that it would be faster to place the order herself than to explain the process and help her download the app.

Running errands like this costs a lot of money, and her salary isn't high either.

"Okay, thank you, sister, we'll pay!" Ya Ya said, holding up her little watch.

Fang Tiesheng took out the contract, pointed to the address, and watched as the young girl in front of him tapped away on her phone, the words popping up one by one on the small screen.

"Okay, you can go back and wait. The delivery code is XXXX. Tell the delivery guy when it arrives."

Fang Tiesheng wrote down the four numbers in his notebook, thanked the little girl again, and then led Ya Ya back to the warehouse.

I woke up to find the sky had fallen; I owe a ton of extra chapters. Thank you all for your support...
