Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor to the transportation company.
The bicycle is left at home for Duomei to use for transportation. As for the tractor, he is the only one in the whole village who can drive it. If there is a group, there are two people who can drive it, but... what does it have to do with him?
Driving a brand new tractor on the road is actually pretty cool.
When they arrived at the transportation company, they saw Xiao Jinfeng inspecting the truck, with a bag of repair tools piled beside him.
"Ming Cheng is here, have you had breakfast? There are some buns in the kitchen, my mother made them herself." Xiao Jinfeng greeted with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised. There were few people here who ate steamed buns, and even fewer who knew how to make steamed buns.
Seeing his surprise, Xiao Jinfeng said: "My mother learned how to make it from someone else. The steamed buns are not very good. The steamed buns are not soft enough, but the taste is okay. There are many people eating in the company now, and my mother is free. Just make a bunch of steamed buns and put them there. If you are hungry, steam them and eat them."
"I've had porridge this morning, but it would be nice to try my aunt's cooking." Gao Mingcheng said and entered the kitchen.
There was a three-layer steamer placed in the large iron pot in the kitchen. When I opened the lid, I saw a dozen steamed buns inside. The fire in the stove had been extinguished, but the steamed buns were still warm enough to be eaten.
The buns are about the size of an adult's hand, and the dough is a bit hard and yellow, not as white and soft as the ones sold. This may be because the flour has not risen well.
When I took a bite, the texture was okay, with a wheat flavor, and the filling was pork and leek. The skin of this bun is worse than the ones sold, but the fillings are more substantial, the meat is juicy and very delicious.
Gao Mingcheng casually took two buns and walked to Xiao Jinfeng's side while eating them.
Xiao Jinfeng turned to look at him and said with a smile: "How is it? Is my mother's craftsmanship good?"
"Yes, very good. Do you have any work today?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Xiao Jinfeng said: "There is work every day, but it is assigned to other drivers. You have just arrived, so you need to get used to it before driving."
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng didn't have any objections. He just stood aside and watched Xiao Jinfeng repair the car. If he encountered someone he didn't understand, he would ask a few questions.
When he could drive in his previous life, there were already many car repair shops. Whenever a car broke down, he would always send it to a car repair shop and never repair it himself.
But now there are no car repair shops, so you have to learn how to repair cars. If the car has an accident on the road, in the wilderness, you have to repair the car by yourself.
Xiao Jinfeng also wanted to teach him, so Gao Mingcheng stayed here for most of the morning to learn how to repair the car.
Of course, what I learned was superficial knowledge, and it was also the knowledge that problems often occur with cars.
After lunch, Xiao Jinfeng said to Gao Mingcheng: "Before you go to the provincial capital, help me go to Zhangshu Bar. The wine I got last time has long been sold out, and I have to buy another batch. You You know the road and the location of the winery, so this trip is the most suitable for you. I have already made an agreement with the winery to load the goods at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. You can drive there now and sleep there overnight."
They all came to do things for others, so they naturally obeyed their orders. Gao Mingcheng had no objection to this, so he naturally agreed.
He drove away in the biggest truck because he had to load a lot of goods back this time.
He drove the car all the way towards the camphor tree.
The last time he and Xiao Jinfeng drove to Zhangshu, now that he knew the route, the journey went smoothly. A few hours later, the car arrived at Zhangshu.
Gao Mingcheng was quite familiar with Zhangshu, but the two times he came here were during the drug fair. At that time, drug dealers traveling all over the country gathered here, and the area at the Yaodu Hotel was particularly lively.
But now was not the time for medicine meetings, and the entire camphor tree seemed much quieter. He drove all the way towards the winery, intending to find a place to live near the winery.
When he got off the bus, he took a travel bag with him. The bag was full of money, money for goods for the winery, and money for Gao Mingcheng's room and board.
As soon as I arrived at a hotel and checked in, someone came over.
"Brother, are you here to buy goods from the winery?" The man was handsome and spoke clearly, and seemed to be a shrewd businessman.
Gao Mingcheng looked at him and said nothing.
Although he remained silent, the man did not give up and continued to talk a lot, saying that he was here to do business and planned to buy a batch of patent medicines and some Site wine.
"The Four Special Wines are very popular now. Did you know that this wine often appears in the Great Hall of the People? Many people hosting banquets are rushing to order the Four Special Wines!"
"Seeing that winter is coming, there will be more and more people selling wine. Brother, do you drive for others, or do you purchase and sell the goods yourself?"
"What does it have to do with you? Rang Rang, I'm going to eat." Gao Mingcheng doesn't intend to talk to anyone. It's business to talk to others less when he's out!
Because you don’t know whether that person is good or bad, you might fall into a trap accidentally.
Gao Mingcheng had a tough attitude, so the man saw that he was not interested in anything, so he let it go.
But after Gao Mingcheng finished eating, the man came over again. This time there were two people beside him, a man and a woman. The woman was fashionably dressed, with makeup and permed hair, and her facial features were somewhat pretty. Especially those pair of red and phoenix eyes, which seem to be full of affection when looking at people.
"Haha, brother, we meet again! We are planning to play mahjong, and we are missing one. Do you want to join us?" the man invited.
Before Gao Mingcheng could refuse, the woman had already said coquettishly: "Brother, let's play mahjong together! There's nothing to do anyway, it's boring to stay in the room."
Gao Mingcheng looked at them indifferently and refused ruthlessly: "I can't fight."
The woman was stunned for a few seconds, and then said: "Then playing cards is okay! Let me tell you, I am very good at playing cards and mahjong!"
"Haha, brother, this is Lili. She is very good at poker and often wins our money." The man also smiled, adding to the atmosphere, and said again and again: "Come on, let's play cards! Fuck me Room, right? Why don’t you go to your room, brother?”
Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything, just looked at them. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'm pretty good at playing cards too! How much do we pay?"
"Haha, just for fun, I won't hit the big ones. Can I hit them for a dollar?"
"OK!"
So the four of them entered a room together.
The room is relatively large, and a mahjong table is already set up.
The first person to talk to Gao Mingcheng immediately stepped forward to clear away the mahjong on the mahjong table. While doing so, he said: "In the morning, we originally found someone to play mahjong together, but after lunch, he wanted to play mahjong together." He drove away. Hey, there’s nothing we can do about it, we can’t make it together if we are short of three.”
"But it's good to play cards, it's good to pass the time anyway!"
Soon, the mahjong was packed up, and then the man took out a brand new deck of cards and opened them in front of Gao Mingcheng.
Everything they did was quite aboveboard, and they revealed information that made Gao Mingcheng feel at ease both inside and outside their words.
But can Gao Mingcheng feel at ease?
He watched these people's actions with cold eyes, wondering how to end it later.
