Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 392 Eating durian

With He Lai's help in the introduction, the wood processing factory was flooded with orders within five days.

Even some textiles and ceramics were found.

The second batch of lighters and grinding mills from the steel rolling mill also arrived at this time, which kept He Lai and his colleagues busy for another two days. This made He Lai decide to start exploiting Sha Zhu together with Xu Damao, and he ended up like this after a good rest!

Sha Zhu was asked to do all the heavy and tiring work. This made Sha Zhu behave himself and he finally learned to shut up.

After finishing all the work, Li Huaide gathered everyone together and held a small meeting.

"Everyone has worked hard recently, especially He Lai, Xu Damao and He Yuzhu. They helped with the timber processing factory for several days and are here with us to receive foreign businessmen.

We have completed most of the order this time. Sijiucheng said that it will take about three more days to ship the remaining lighters and grinders over. In this way, we can complete the order this time, and our trip to the Canton Fair will also be successfully concluded.

Come, let us applaud ourselves first.”

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he led the applause.

Everyone followed suit and clapped their hands vigorously.

"Okay, I know everyone wants to go back to Sijiu City and miss their families, so I decided to leave some people to continue processing the remaining orders, and the rest can go back first.

Is there anyone willing to stay here now?"

Li Huaide spoke.

Li Huaide's three confidants immediately raised their hands. He Lai and others looked at each other and raised their hands again. After all, it was just a formality.

The final decision still lies with Li Huaide.

"Okay, it seems that everyone is a good comrade who is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but I can't keep all of you. So, those whose names I call will stay, and the rest of you will prepare to return to Sijiu City the day after tomorrow morning!"

Li Huaide stopped and took a sip of water before continuing.

"Feng Gong, Yu Hai, Wang Ganchao, Sun Yuxia, and me, Li Huaide, five of you will stay here, and the rest will go home the day after tomorrow. Comrade He Lai, you will be responsible for ensuring that the workers of our steel mill get home safely."

"Okay, Director Li." He Lai replied.

Li Huaide was still very humane. He let He Lai and the others go back, but stayed himself. However, it seemed that Sun Yuxia had an affair with Li Huaide, and there was something wrong with her eyes.

"Okay, those who are leaving the day after tomorrow should go shopping tomorrow and buy some things for their families. It's not easy to come to Guangcheng. Comrade He Lai, I have some receipts here. You can take them and distribute them to everyone."

Li Huaide took out another pile of bills and gave them to He Lai.

"Thank you, Director Li." He Lai took over and said.

"Thank you, Director Li." Xu Damao quickly continued.

"Thank you Director Li..."

Then the rest of the people expressed their gratitude.

“No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It’s not easy for everyone to come out here. We’ve been busy for half a month. It’s only right that you bring something back.

Don't be envious of the person who stayed behind. I, Li Huaide, will definitely be impartial. I have prepared the bills and other things for you. I will personally take you to buy them when the time comes."

Li Huaide said with a smile.

Immediately, there were more thanks.

"Okay, go to bed early and have a good rest. Meeting adjourned!"

Li Huaide saw that it was almost time and directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Turning around, He Lai gave the bills to Xu Damao and asked him to distribute them to everyone, but he himself would not do it.

I'm finally going back. The food in the guesthouse cafeteria these days is really not that good. It was just okay a few days ago with some seafood, but now there are only some ordinary meals left.

He Lai could hardly eat anymore, luckily there was seafood in the space so he could just cook it and eat it!

After all, there are already quite a lot of seafood in Helai's space.

The next day, at dawn, everyone at the steel mill gathered at the door of He Lai's room, waiting for him to get up.

"Xiao Laizi, get up, get up!" Sha Zhu knocked on He Lai's door without any courtesy.

He Lai woke up in the space in a daze. He heard a little noise and checked. It turned out that someone was knocking on the door outside. He quickly flashed out of the space.

I tidied my clothes, opened the door, and saw a group of people standing at my door. I felt very embarrassed.

"Xiao Laizi, come on, come on, accompany us to buy things." Sha Zhu pulled He Lai and walked out.

"Brother Zhuzi, wait...my door...the door is not closed yet." He Lai wanted to go back.

"No need, hey you, help Chief He close the door." Sha Zhu called out casually.

"Xiao Laizi, come on, take us around Guangcheng. Normally we don't dare to go too far."

Xu Damao also came over and held He Lai's other arm and walked forward.

This scene seems familiar, and the picture is a bit strange!

Just like that, He Lai was forcibly taken away by Sha Zhu and his two companions, followed by a group of people.

……

Because Li Huaide gave a lot of receipts, everyone bought a lot of things.

He Lai also took everyone to a fruit wholesale market and bought a lot of fruits.

"Brother Zhuzi, try it. This is durian. It smells bad, but tastes delicious!"

He Lai pinched his nose and tried to stuff a piece of durian into Sha Zhu's mouth.

"Xiao Laizi, is your brother Zhuzi so easy to fool? Who would dare to eat something so smelly? If you want to eat it, you can eat it. I will never eat it! I would rather die than eat it!"

Shazhu quickly hid aside, away from the durian area, and went to look at other fruits.

"You are so ignorant, Brother Damao... Hey, Brother Damao, don't leave."

He Lai also wanted to give the durian meat to Xu Damao, but unfortunately Xu Damao was gone too.

The rest of the people left, leaving only Yu Li and another woman from the steel mill, who were standing over there laughing secretly.

"That Sister Yu Li, I'm not lying to you, it's really delicious!"

He Lai no longer pinched his nose and put the durian meat in front of Yu Li.

Yu Li and the woman next to her immediately pinched their noses with their hands.

"Is it really edible?" Yu Li looked at He Lai and asked.

“Really, and it’s delicious.”

"Then why don't you eat?"

"Uh... I ate too much for breakfast and now I can't eat."

"We dragged you out of the room, how could you have breakfast?"

"Uh... Sister Yu Li, okay, I'll eat it for you to see!"

In fact, He Lai had never eaten durian in his previous life because it was too expensive. People say it smells bad but tastes good, but people who have not experienced it really can't bring themselves to eat it.

Moreover, the durians He Lai ate were all peeled in the supermarket, and the taste was not as strong as it is now!

In order to prove that durian is really delicious, He Lai had to make up his mind, stomped his feet, and took a big bite.

He Lai quickly finished eating a large piece of durian meat.

Yu Li frowned as she watched He Lai's mouth full of food. She was increasingly puzzled. Was this yellow thing really so delicious? But she felt like she was eating something. She felt like vomiting just thinking about it!

"Sister Yu Li, now you believe it, it's really delicious!" He Lai took another piece of durian meat and handed it to Yu Li.

This time Yu Li did not refuse. She freed one hand to take it, but she was still hesitant about whether to eat it.

"Girl, that little brother really didn't lie to you. This thing really smells bad, but tastes delicious."

The durian seller nearby also spoke up.

"He Lai, is it really that delicious?" Yu Li still asked.

"I swear, it will be delicious. I'm afraid you will be sad if you can't eat this durian when you return to the city!"

He Lai raised his hand and said.

When Yu Li saw this, she gradually gave up her original plan of refusing to eat it. She frowned, took a light bite, chewed it a few times, and immediately her brows relaxed.

Oh my god, it's really delicious! I didn't expect that this durian that smells so stinky can taste so sweet in my mouth! A very special taste that makes people unable to stop!

"How is it, Sister Yu Li, I didn't lie to you!" He Lai saw Yu Li put down what she was holding and started eating attentively.

"Well, delicious!" Yu Li said with a smile.

"Xiao Feng, try it too, it's really delicious, Chief He didn't lie to us!"

Yu Li also did not forget to tell her companions.

Seeing Yu Li eating with such relish, Xiao Feng immediately became interested, picked up a piece of durian, took a small bite, and immediately joined the durian-eating team!

Soon, the act of the three of them eating durian together attracted Sha Zhu and the others back.

"Brother Zhuzi, you would never eat what you said even if you were beaten to death!" He Lai took the durian flesh, took a big bite, chewed happily, and blew air at Sha Zhuzi, almost making Sha Zhu vomit.

Everyone was moved when they saw He Lai and the other two eating the durian with relish. It seemed that the durian was really delicious, otherwise it would be impossible for people to eat it if it was so smelly.

Xu Damao reacted the fastest. He thought that whatever He Laidu was eating must be good. He picked up a piece and tasted it, and immediately showed an expression of enjoyment.

Everyone followed suit and picked up the durian to eat, leaving only Sha Zhu retching.
