The Pentium Era - South to North

There is no need to go to the company anymore. Zhang Xiangbei, apart from sending Zhang Xiangxi to kindergarten and picking her up home, spends the rest of the time sleeping in his room with his head covered.

Even for lunch, it was grandma and grandma who called me repeatedly before getting up and coming over to eat.

In the meantime, only the seniors came, and Zhang Xiangbei went out once, but he didn't go far, to the "Zhenshui Teahouse" teahouse by the Mishi River, where Xiaofang rented the private dining room for a long time. The teahouse in my office.

The two of them were sitting in the private room of the "Zhenshui Tea House" drinking tea. The focus of the conversation was that Zhang Xiangbei was very concerned about the acquisition of "Zhai Xianshui" by a senior, the composition and source of his funds, and the senior's views on the future. Research and judgment on the development direction of "Zhai Xian Delivery" and the arrangement of existing personnel of "Zhai Xian Delivery".

The senior assured Zhang Xiangbei that he would not form a new team. The existing management team was running well. In the field of fresh food delivery, there was no one in China more experienced than the "Zhai Xian Delivery" team. Why should I change? , Aren’t you asking for trouble and suffering for yourself? I’m not good at business management.

The senior also sincerely hopes that Zhang Xiangbei can continue to stay in "Zhaixianshui" after their acquisition.

"I have confidence in you." Senior and Zhang Xiangbei said, "You can see things that others can't see and have good intuition, which is rare."

Zhang Xiangbei declined on the spot. It was impossible for him to see the "Zhaixianshu" he had established with his own hands. After it had changed owners, he still stayed there every day. It was like giving away his child and still returning it. Be like his nanny.

The senior smiled and said, "I understand. The main reason is that you invest too much and are too focused on love. A man who is too focused on love can't stand even one more look at his woman, let alone seeing someone ravaging her at close range."

Zhang Xiangbei laughed and said, "Fresh food from home." In the words of the two Yale boys, one moment they were children, and the next moment they became lovers.

The senior came from Hong Kong and then went to Shanghai. Zhang Xiangbei drove him to the high-speed rail station. When leaving, the senior said to Zhang Xiangbei, I won't be so naive. I am definitely not the only one who is talking to you about the acquisition of "Zhai Zhai". Regarding the "fresh delivery" matter, no matter what the final result is, I hope you can call me and tell me, okay?

Zhang Xiangbei nodded and said, definitely.

Sun Xiangyang and Zhou Ruoyi would come to Zhang Xiangbei every night and ask him to go to the nightclub and have supper together, but Zhang Xiangbei did not go. Everyone in the company knew that "Zhai Xianshui" was ready to be sold, except Wu Huan , there are only two of them, they are shareholders, Xiaofang can't not tell them.

The two of them knew that Zhang Xiangbei looked indifferent on the surface, but he must be feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. They wanted to drag Zhang Xiangbei to have a drink to relieve his boredom, but Zhang Xiangbei refused to go, and they were at their wits' end. The two of them seemed to have a lot of trouble. I don't know what to say. Even Zhou Ruoyi, a very articulate guy, was at a loss for words at this time.

Zhang Xiangbei didn't know what to say, and he didn't have the energy to say it. For the first time, he felt that the need to speak was a very torturous and exhausting thing.

He felt that his whole being was solid and he couldn't find an outlet to vent his anger.

Zhou Ruoyi and Sun Xiangyang finally dragged Zhang Xiangbei from the room to the living room downstairs. They did not continue to fall asleep. The three of them sat on the sofa with drooped faces. No one said anything. They stared at the TV that was turned on. , but in fact no one was paying attention, they were all distracted and thinking.

The two of them sat with Zhang Xiangbei for several hours, then finally left.

Zhou Ruoyi and Zhang Xiangbei said: "If this continues like this, my throat will become a stone and it will become useless."

Zhang Xiangbei couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Ruoyi and Sun Xiangyang saw Zhang Xiangbei smiling, and they laughed too.

But the next day, two people came again, and the three of them were still sitting there in silence.

In the past few days, what Sun Xiangyang said to Zhang Xiangbei over and over again was: "No matter what decision you make, we will support you."

Every time, Zhou Ruoyi would keep nodding at the side.

The ones who feel most distressed are Zhang Xiangbei's grandmother and grandmother. They see Zhang Xiangbei feeling depressed every day and have no appetite for food. They feel that others are losing weight every day. If this continues, will people still get sick?

Taking advantage of Zhang Xiangbei's absence, Zhang Chen's mother asked Zhang Chen and Xiaofang what happened? Beibei doesn't go to work anymore and sleeps at home every day. He used to be a somewhat happy person, but now he has a dark face all day long. If he and Xixi weren't joking, I would have thought he couldn't even smile. Laughed.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang looked at each other, but neither said a word.

"What on earth is going on? Can any of you tell me?" Zhang Chen's mother looked at Zhang Chen and Xiaofang, her expression became ugly.

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang still looked at each other. They didn't know how to explain it to her. They were even more afraid that after she knew the whole story, she would keep going to Zhang Xiangbei and tell her that they knew that Zhang Xiangbei was the last person they wanted to talk about right now. Talk about "fresh delivery at home".

Zhang Chen said: "It's okay. Zhang Xiangbei is such an old man. What are you worried about? He will be fine after a while."

"If anything happens to him, I will settle the score with you!" Zhang Chen's mother glared at them.

Xiaofang and Zhang Chen's mother said: "Mom, no matter what happens, you have to believe in us. Everything we do is for the best of Beibei. For Beibei's safety, we are more worried about Beibei than ourselves. Don't worry, everything will be resolved satisfactorily in the end, and Beibei will be fine."

Hearing what Xiaofang said, Zhang Chen's mother's face looked better.

Zhang Xiangbei sleeps with his head covered in his room every day. Not only do his grandmother and grandma come over to call him during lunch, they also come in almost every half an hour to see how Zhang Xiangbei is doing. , asked him if he wanted to eat anything.

Grandma would reach out and touch his forehead every time to see if he had a fever.

Zhang Xiangbei felt depressed and couldn't get into trouble. In the following days, he simply sent Zhang Xiangxi off without even returning home. He went directly to the "Pillow Tea House", asked for a private room, and slept on the sofa in the private room or I was in a daze and didn't even go home for lunch, but ate their fast food in the teahouse.

Ma Lin would still send reports to Zhang Xiangbei every day. Wu Huan knew that Zhang Xiangbei did not want to be disturbed by others at this time. She did not call or send Zhang Xiangbei a WeChat message. Instead, every night, she would report the day's situation to Zhang Xiangbei. Write it as an email and send it to Zhang Xiangbei's mailbox.

But Zhang Xiangbei had already removed himself from the "Zhaixianshui" website. For several days in a row, he didn't even visit the "Zhaixianshui" website, nor did he read the reports or Wu Huan's emails. When he went to the teahouse every day , He didn’t even bring his laptop. If he didn’t need to scan the QR code to pay the bill, he would even leave his mobile phone at home.

Someone knocked on the door of the box. Zhang Xiangbei said, "Come in." The door opened, and it was Gu Gong standing at the door.

Gu Gong was holding several vest bags in his hand. Zhang Xiangbei knew what was in them without asking. Gu Gong walked in and put down the vest bags on the coffee table. He glanced around the box and asked:

"Why, are you creating a prison here?"

"How did you know I was here?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"I went to your house to find you. Your grandma and grandma told me." Gu Gong said with a smile, "They also entrusted me to enlighten you. I said you are very smart and don't need to enlighten you. As long as you drink enough, they will Just urge me to come over and have a drink with you as soon as possible, haha."

Zhang Xiangbei was surprised. He said, "They don't know I'm here either."

Gu Gong glanced at him and said, "Do you think they won't know if you don't tell them? Old ladies have sharp eyes and are born with the talent of being a spy. Have you forgotten the famous Aunt Chaoyang?"

Zhang Xiangbei was dumbfounded. He understood that his grandma and grandma must have gone to their room and didn't see him. They specially guarded the parking lot. When they saw him coming back, they didn't go home but came here. They followed him. .

No wonder they didn't ask him once where they had been or where they had lunch. They knew there was food in the teahouse and they were not hungry. Sitting in the teahouse was better than lying in bed all day. They felt relieved.

"Come on, have a drink, and try some of my new braised vegetables. Have a great time today." Gu Gong said to Zhang Xiangbei while taking out the wine and braised vegetables from his vest bag.

He took out a two-pound flat stainless steel wine bottle with a leather cover on the outside. He opened the lid and approached Zhang Xiangbei's face. Zhang Xiangbei felt a ferocious drink coming from him. Water spewed out of the spout, as if it had punched him hard.

"What is this?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"It's good stuff. You'll know after you try it later." Gu Gong said.

Zhang Xiangbei said: "No, I can't drink. I have to drive later."

"Go and pick up Zhang Xiangxi, right?" Gu Gong said, "Old lady Yizhi, you don't need to pick up Zhang Xiangxi. They will pick you up and let you have a good drink. Seeing how worried you are, how can you relieve your worries? Du Kang is the only one. Haha, the next half I added the sentence, and the old lady asked you to drink and eat well."

Looking at the food and wine on the table, Zhang Xiangbei couldn't help it. He couldn't seem to remember how long it had been since he drank to his heart's content.

Gu Gong picked up the two teacups on the coffee table, filled up the wine, motioned to Zhang Xiangbei and said, "Come here, have a taste. I made this myself. It took a lot of effort to find the raw materials."

Zhang Xiangbei raised his glass and took a sip. It felt like the wine was like a sharp blade, slitting his throat. Zhang Xiangbei shouted:

"I'll go, it tastes so bad!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Gu Gong raised his hands and closed his eyes slightly, as if counting the time silently. When he opened his eyes, he waved his hands downward and said:

"Tell me how you feel now."

Zhang Xiangbei thought for a moment and said, "It feels like his throat has been scratched by a razor blade..."

"That's right, have you shaved yourself cleanly? It seems like your throat has become thicker?" asked the consultant.

When he said this, Zhang Xiangbei really felt like his throat, which was originally clogged, was now completely cleared, and he felt indescribably relaxed.

"Come on, take a second sip." Gu Gong raised his cup and said to Zhang Xiangbei. Zhang Xiangbei clinked it with him and took a second sip. The second sip of wine went down. It was not as spicy as the previous one, but it felt better from the throat. Starting from the waist down, the whole body seems to be getting warm.

"Do you mean puree wine?" asked the consultant.

Zhang Xiangbei nodded.

"Let me tell you, this is more powerful than grain wine. It has the effects of dispelling wind, activating blood circulation, and detoxifying. If you have rheumatism, drink a little of this every day and it will be good." Gu Gong said.

"Is this medicinal wine?" Zhang Xiangbei was surprised, "I can't drink it. Except for the spicy taste, it's like inferior liquor. It's no different from grain wine. It has no medicinal taste."

"Drink again and see if you still feel like inferior wine. In addition to giving you a headache, inferior wine will also give you this smooth feeling all over your body? I deliberately made the taste so spicy so that it will impress people. Profound." Gu Gong said.

"Okay, I'm really impressed. Don't be pretentious and tell me what kind of wine it is." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Gu Gong laughed: "This wine used to be a broom, but now it's a pearl. It was common when your father was a kid, and your grandfather must have drank it often, but now I can't find it. No one makes it and there's no place to buy it." Well, why, it used to be a stopgap measure for the poor, but now everyone feels that their lives are better off, and they don’t care about it. As time goes by, they forget about it.

"But I don't know that this is actually a good thing..."

"Stop it, stop it, don't get too excited. Last time it was lotus seed wine, what is it this time?" Zhang Xiangbei said.

Gu Gong laughed loudly: "I am counting its origins in detail. If you don't listen to my explanation, you still want to interrupt me. Are you defeated?"

"Flashback, okay? Let's talk about the key points first, and then tell them in detail." Zhang Xiangbei said, picking up the cup and taking another sip.

"Okay, this is Vajra Thorn wine." Gu Gong said, "Do you know what Vajra Thorn is?"

Zhang Xiangbei shook his head.

"Alas!" Gu Gong sighed and said, "There's really nothing we can do against you city kids who don't know how to farm. Don't glare at me. You're pretty good. At least you can tell the difference between wheat and leeks. This diamond thorn is here. It’s so common, you can see it everywhere on the roadside, beside streams, in ravines and bushes in the countryside.”

"What does it look like?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"The leaves are like camphor leaves. I mean the shape, but they are emerald green. When they grow taller, they become vines. They especially like to climb on pine trees. There are thorns on the branches..."

"You told me it had thorns first. I didn't know it right away. There are only a few plants with thorns on their branches in the mountains. Of course I know what you are talking about." Zhang Xiangbei interrupted Gu Gong's words and cursed.

"Okay, my fault." Gu Gong said, "This wine is made from the roots of diamond thorns. In the past, people were poor and could not bear to use grain to drink wine, so they used sweet potatoes. They could not even part with sweet potatoes, so they dug the diamond thorns. The rhizome of the adamantium thorn itself is a herbal medicine. You can’t taste the medicinal taste of the wine brewed from its rhizomes, but it has the function of medicinal wine.

"Everyone's life has become better, and there is more food. No one uses it to drink wine because they think it tastes bad." Gu Gong said, "In fact, I have forgotten that people nowadays chew slowly and eat carefully every day. The food made my mouth feel awkward and numb from eating, but I just needed this rough thing to stimulate my senses.

"This wine is not only strong when you drink it, but also has a lot of staying power. When I was drinking it, I deliberately..."

"Make it really look like a diamond thorn?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"That's right, that's how you'll enjoy it. Isn't it satisfying?" Gu Gong raised his cup, "If you're satisfied, just leave."

Zhang Xiangbei raised his cup and clinked it with Gu Gong. They drank it all in one gulp, and Gu Gong then filled up two more cups.

"This diamond thorn is not found everywhere. It is very common. How do you say it is rare?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"It's true that it's everywhere, but it requires people to dig it out. There's no place to buy it. I specially hired someone to dig it out and brought over three hundred catties. It cost more than buying two thousand catties of rice," Gu Gong said. .
