Chapter 721: Buying Belongings
Yi Song Rui laughed and said, "Okay! Ruofei, the task you gave me is considered to have been successfully completed! Should you express your expression today, please have a meal?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "No problem! I'll eat here today, I'll cook it myself!"
Then Xia Ruofei said to Zhao Yongjun: "Brother Zhao, do you think this arrangement will work? You take Wu Qiang to resign and hand over, bring his things, and then buy some personal items, bed sheets, bedding or something by the way." I'm going to buy groceries and cook, and we'll eat here tonight!"
"No problem!" Zhao Yongjun said, "Xiao Rui, you come with us!"
"Okay!" Song Rui responded.
After the division of labor, everyone left the courtyard and set off separately.
Wu Qiang's work was originally arranged by Guo Ruchao, Song Rui told Guo Ruchao that the resignation of the security company was naturally very smooth, and Xia Ruofei didn't have to worry about it.
After he walked out of the alley, he used his mobile phone to search the nearby supermarket and found that Walmart's Sam's Club was not very far away.
So he took a taxi at the entrance of the alley and went straight to Sam's Shop.
In the supermarket, Xia Ruofei was somewhat surprised to find that on the boutique shelves in the vegetable area, there were vegetables and fruits produced by Taoyuan Company.
After Taoyuan expanded its production capacity, it also cooperated with some large supermarket channels, among which Wal-Mart was an important partner of Taoyuan.
Sam's Club is a high-end supermarket owned by Wal-Mart, so it is natural to get the supply of Taoyuan vegetables for the first time.
The location of Taoyuan vegetables is naturally very conspicuous, and of course, the price is also quite touching, more than ten times more expensive than ordinary similar vegetables.
Rao is so, the near-perfect appearance of Taoyuan vegetables still attracts many people to stop and watch.
Sam's Supermarket is a membership system, and you have to pay more than 200 membership dues every year to enjoy the membership treatment, the shopping environment here is better than that of ordinary supermarkets, and the purchasing power of consumers is relatively stronger.
Therefore, although the price of Taoyuan vegetables is extremely high, people will also go to buy them from time to time.
Xia Ruofei looked at it with interest for a while, and his heart moved slightly.
Since Sam's Store in Beijing has Taoyuan vegetables for sale, it can be said that you bought it back from here when you take out the inventory in the space by yourself!
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei smiled, and he had a bottom in his heart about the dinner that night.
He left the vegetable section and bought some organic mountain black pork, beef and mutton, etc., as well as some spices, cooking oil, etc., and then moved to the liquor section.
As he expected, there was also drunken Eight Immortals for sale here.
Compared with the daunting price of Taoyuan vegetables, the price of Drunken Eight Immortals is more affordable, of course, this is also relative to liquor such as Moutai Wuliangye.
Maybe the channel has just been spread to the north, and the sales of the drunken eight immortals are not as hot as those in the southeast province, at least there are still goods on the shelves, not like in Sanshan City, basically the new goods were bought out not long after they were put on the shelves.
Since Sam's Club also sells Drunken Eight Immortals Liquor, Xia Ruofei can justifiably take out the wine in the space.
He also stored a few boxes of newly packaged Drunken Eight Immortals Liquor, which Ling Xiaotian had asked someone from the distillery to send to him.
Of course, these liquors have been stored in the space for so long, and the taste is naturally much better than the Drunken Eight Immortals series of liquors sold outside.
Carrying some meat and lo-mei bought from the supermarket, Xia Ruofei took a taxi and returned to the courtyard of Liuhai Hutong.
Zhao Yongjun and the others hadn't come back yet, and Xia Ruofei came to the kitchen located in the third entrance.
Wu Shuheng did invest in the renovation of this house, the kitchen facilities are very complete, the door refrigerator, electric oven, microwave oven, range hood, etc. are all first-line big brands, and even knives and cutting boards are all German big brands.
Xia Ruofei put down his things, took out Taoyuan vegetables from the space, and took a big crucian carp and a few bottles of drunken eight immortal wine by the way.
Then Xia Ruofei put on an apron and was busy in the kitchen.
The sky gradually darkened, Xia Ruofei made the last crucian carp soup, and the rice in the rice cooker was just cooked, jumping to the state of heat preservation.
At this time, the LCD screen on the kitchen wall was lit up - this is someone outside ringing the doorbell.
Xia Ruofei wiped his hands on his apron, walked over and looked at the screen, and saw Song Rui waving at the camera.
Xia Ruofei smiled, stretched out his finger and pressed it on the fingerprint collector - when the house was handed over, Wu Shuheng had already handed over the authority of the entire smart home system to Xia Ruofei.
After the system confirmed the permission, Xia Ruofei pressed one of the buttons, and the side door of the front yard for vehicles to enter and exit clicked open.
Xia Ruofei took off the intercom and said with a smile: "You guys come directly to the backyard!
"Gotcha!"
Xia Ruofei brought the prepared dishes to the restaurant one by one, and after walking one or two times, he heard a sound of footsteps, and Zhao Yongjun and the three walked into the backyard.
Xia Ruofei put the soup bowl in his hand on the dining table and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhao, are things going well?"
"It's all done!" Zhao Yongjun said with a smile, "By the way, I bought some personal items for Wu Qiang!"
Xia Ruofei saw Wu Qiang carrying a large bag of things, so he said to Song Rui: "Song Rui, there are still a few dishes in the kitchen, help bring them over!"
Then he said to Wu Qiang: "Wu Qiang, in the future, you will live in this courtyard, now go and pick a room first, and put your things down!"
"Yes, boss!" Wu Qiang replied respectfully.
Although the third courtyard is not big, there are still five or six bedrooms, and Wu Qiang is not picky about accommodation, so he chose a random one and put things in it, and then ran over to help serve food.
Zhao Yongjun smiled and asked, "Ruofei, what kind of dishes did you make so fragrant?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Even if you have a good mouth, I saw that there were Taoyuan vegetables sold by our company at Sam's Club, so I bought some for you to taste!"
"Yes, I've been listening to Xiao Rui say how delicious your company's vegetables are for the past two days, and I'm itching to think about whether to go to Sanshan to have a good meal!" Zhao Yongjun said happily, "I didn't expect your products to be sold to the capital!"
"This is in cooperation with supermarkets, the early production capacity is limited, and the goods should be distributed across the country later. Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Song Rui couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the drunken eight immortals on the table: "Oh! There are even drunken eight immortals! Today's food is very rich!"
"I bought it at Sam's Store too. Xia Ruofei said without changing his face.
"Drunken Eight Immortals?" Zhao Yongjun looked puzzled.
Song Rui said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you only know that Ruofei's company produces high-end vegetables, but you don't know that he has also invested in a winery! Let me tell you, this wine is selling crazy in Southeast Province, and the price is not expensive, but the taste is not worse than Moutai Wuliangye at all!"
"Really, then I can have a few more drinks today!" Zhao Yongjun said happily.
He is also a lover of alcohol, and he is in a pretty good mood today when he unexpectedly reunites with the soldiers he brought before.
Everyone quickly went to the table to eat, and without any suspense, the drunken eight immortals and the table full of Taoyuan vegetables conquered Zhao Yongjun and Wu Qiang at once.
Wu Qiang was still a little restrained, and Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but praise loudly, Song Rui was not the first time to taste Taoyuan vegetables, so he didn't speak at all at first, and just ate it with his head bored.
Today are all big men, and you don't have to pay attention to anything when eating, after a while, everyone ate up the food on the table like a storm, and the drunken eight immortal wine was also drunk two bottles.
Zhao Yongjun wiped his mouth, and said with some unfinished feelings: "It's enjoyable! Today's meal is really enjoyable! Those clubs and private dishes are not as delicious as the dishes made by Ruofei! Ruofei, if you go to open a restaurant, you are guaranteed to make a lot of money!"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "The main thing is that the ingredients are good! My cooking skills can only be regarded as average ......."
After eating, everyone returned to the main courtyard and sat around the stone table under the grape trellis, making tea and chatting.
Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui both decided to stay here tonight, so the three of them went out again and bought a few sets of bedding, while Wu Qiang stayed at home to pack his things.
Driving to a nearby store, Xia Ruofei thought about it and simply bought a few more sets of sheets, pillows, bedding or something.
He thought that if the guests at home could use it in the future, it would also be something that was always available at home.
After returning to the courtyard, Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui each picked a guest room, went to the room with a set of bedding, and did it themselves.
Xia Ruofei also kept one set, and then asked Wu Qiang to put the remaining sets in the vacant guest room cabinet.
Xia Ruofei is naturally the largest master bedroom in the second courtyard.
The huge master bedroom also has a separate bathroom with a large Jacuzzi, a separate cloakroom, and a study and living room.
After Xia Ruofei took a hot bath, he took out a set of clean home clothes from the space and changed into them, lay on the bed and looked at his mobile phone for a while before falling asleep.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Xia Ruofei granted Wu Qiang the second-level authority of the smart home control system, so that even if he was not at home, Wu Qiang could enter and exit normally.
Zhao Yongjun's friend who was engaged in the restoration of ancient buildings also came over, and after inspecting the scene, he quickly came up with a preliminary restoration plan and budget.
Xia Ruofei has changed a lot, so the total is about 500,000.
For the restoration of ancient buildings, such a small amount of money is really too small to be small, if it weren't for Zhao Yongjun's relationship, his friend probably wouldn't be willing to take on such a small project.
Xia Ruofei still trusted the person Zhao Yongjun found, and nodded in agreement after a little look.
However, it is impossible for him to stay in the capital all the time, fortunately, Wu Qiang has officially arrived at his post, and the reconstruction of the courtyard can let him keep an eye on it, and Zhao Yongjun is also in the capital, so there should be no problem with him taking care of him.
Xia Ruofei went out with Zhao Yongjun's friends and went to the bank to transfer the advance payment for the project to him.
Wu Qiang stayed alone in the courtyard.
After tidying up inside and out, he picked up a broom and began to sweep the yard of fallen leaves—some trees in the north had already begun to lose their leaves in early autumn.
After cleaning the three large yards, Wu Qiang found a leather pipe from the tool room, connected it to the faucet in the yard and began to rinse the bluestone slabs.
In the past two days, people have come and gone, and they have brought a lot of ash in, and the barracks are generally spotless, and Wu Qiang feels unaccustomed to seeing where it is a little dirty, so he must be cleaned up.
Although Xia Ruofei said that he could hire part-time workers in terms of hygiene, Wu Qiang felt that he got so much salary a month and didn't have much work to do every day, so he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
So he has already decided by himself, and he doesn't need to ask for any hourly workers for the sanitation of this yard, just clean it by himself every day, and it doesn't take much effort anyway.
Just as Wu Qiang was cleaning the yard, the side door of the front yard opened.
Wu Qiang put the leather tube that was still flowing into the flower bed, and then straightened up.
I saw a brand-new Land Rover slowly driving in through the door.
After Wu Qiang saw Xia Ruofei sitting in the car, he hurriedly turned off the faucet, then walked forward quickly, and called out respectfully: "Boss, you are back!"
Xia Ruofei opened the car door and jumped out of the car, smiling and nodding.
Then he said, "Why are you still cleaning up yourself? Didn't I say just ask someone to do it?"
Wu Qiang smiled honestly and said, "Boss, I'll do this little bit of work easily, don't waste any more money......"
Wu Qiang's parents are medicine jars in the countryside who want to take medicine for a long time, and his younger brothers and sisters are more competitive, all three of them were admitted to university, and the whole family lives on his salary every month.
When he used to be a security captain, although he had a monthly salary of 6,000, he tried his best to eat enough at the one that took care of the meal, and the remaining two meals were basically improvised, and he spent less money if he could, and all the savings were sent to his parents and younger siblings.
Now that he has changed to work on Xia Ruofei's side, his salary has risen a lot all of a sudden, and he also has food and housing, and he has a lot more money in his hands all of a sudden.
Yesterday, Xia Ruofei paid him a month's salary in advance, asked for his bank card number, and signed a formal employment contract for him of Taoyuan Company, and he will be a regular employee of Taoyuan Company in the future, and his salary will be paid to the card every month.
Wu Qiang's gratitude to Xia Ruofei is from the heart, and cleaning is naturally completely voluntary.
Xia Ruofei could feel Wu Qiang's sincerity, and he also knew that he couldn't hit Wu Qiang's enthusiasm at this time, so he nodded with a smile and said, "That's okay, you work hard, I'll give you a salary increase at the end of the year......"
"Boss, the salary is already very high......" Wu Qiang hurriedly said.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "Our company's employees are regularly increased in capital, not for you to be special!"
After speaking, he casually threw the car keys to Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang subconsciously caught it, and then he heard Xia Ruofei say: "I went out in the morning and bought a car, and this car will be in your charge in the future!"
