Song Rui laughed and said, "Alright! Ruofei, the task you gave me has been successfully completed! Shouldn't you treat everyone to a meal today to express your sincerity? "
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "No problem! Let's eat here today. I'll cook! "
Then Xia Ruofei said to Zhao Yongjun, "Brother Zhao, what do you think of this arrangement? You take Wu Qiang to hand over his resignation, take his things, and buy some personal items, bed sheets, quilts, and so on. I'll go buy some ingredients and cook. Let's 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 went separately.
Wu Qiang's job was originally arranged by Guo Ruchao. Song Rui told Guo Ruchao that the resignation of the security company was naturally very smooth. 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 far from here.
So he took a taxi at the entrance of the alley and went straight to Sam's Club.
In the supermarket, Xia Ruofei was surprised to find vegetables and fruits produced by the Taoyuan Company on the boutique shelves in the vegetable area.
After the Taoyuan Company expanded its production capacity, it also cooperated with some large super business channels. Among them, Walmart was an important partner of the Taoyuan Company.
Sam's Club was a high-end supermarket under Walmart. Naturally, it was the first to get the supply of Taoyuan vegetables.
The position of the Taoyuan vegetables was naturally very conspicuous. Of course, the price was also quite touching. It was more than ten times more expensive than the average vegetables.
Even so, the near-perfect appearance of the Taoyuan vegetables still attracted a lot of people to stop and watch.
Sam's Supermarket had a membership system. Every year, they had to pay more than 200 yuan to enjoy the membership treatment. The shopping environment here was better than the average supermarket. The consumer's purchasing power was also relatively stronger.
So, although the price of the Taoyuan vegetables was extremely high, there were still people coming to buy from time to time.
Xia Ruofei watched with interest for a while, and his heart skipped a beat.
Since the Shanmu shop in Beijing had Taoyuan vegetables for sale, then the stock in his space could be said to have been purchased from there!
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei revealed a smile. He had an idea about the dinner tonight.
He left the vegetable section and bought some organic black pork, beef, lamb, and so on. He also bought some seasonings, cooking oil, and so on. Then, he went to the alcohol section.
As he expected, there was also Drunken Eight Immortals Wine for sale here.
Compared to the daunting price of Taoyuan vegetables, the price of Zui Ba Xian was more approachable. Of course, this was also compared to Maotai Wu Liangye and other white spirits.
Perhaps it was because the distribution channels had just been established in the north, but the sales of Zui Ba Xian were not as hot as in the southeastern province. At least there were still stocks on the shelves, unlike in Sanshan City, where the new stocks were sold out not long after they were put on the shelves.
Since the Shanmu members shop also had Drunken Eight Immortals Wine for sale, then Xia Ruofei could justifiably take out the wine from his space.
He also stored a few boxes of Drunken Eight Immortals Wine that Ling Xiaotian had asked the winery to send to him.
Of course, these wines had been stored in the space for so long, so the taste was naturally much better than the Drunken Eight Immortals Wine that was sold outside.
Carrying some meat and braised food that he bought from the supermarket, Xia Ruofei took a taxi back to the courtyard house in Liuhai Lane.
Zhao Yongjun and the others had not returned yet, so Xia Ruofei went to the kitchen in the third section.
When Wu Shuheng renovated the house, he did spend a lot of money. The facilities in the kitchen were very complete. The refrigerator, electric oven, microwave oven, range hood, and so on were all first-tier big brands. Even the knives and chopping boards were from German big brands.
Xia Ruofei put down the things and took out the Taoyuan vegetables, a big carp, and a few bottles of Drunken Eight Immortals Wine from the space.
Then Xia Ruofei put on an apron and got busy in the kitchen.
The sky gradually darkened. Xia Ruofei finished the last carp soup. The rice in the rice cooker was just cooked, so it jumped to the heating mode.
At this time, the LCD screen on the kitchen wall lit up. Someone was outside ringing the doorbell.
Xia Ruofei wiped his hands on the apron and walked over to look at the screen. He saw Song Rui waving at the camera.
Xia Ruofei smiled and pressed his finger on the fingerprint scanner. When handing over the house, Wu Shuheng had already handed over the entire smart home system to Xia Ruofei.
After the system confirmed the authorization, Xia Ruofei pressed one of the buttons. The side door of the front yard for cars to enter and exit opened with a click.
Xia Ruofei took off the intercom and said with a smile, "You guys go directly to the backyard! It's time to eat! "
"Okay!"
Xia Ruofei brought the dishes to the dining room one by one. After a few trips, he heard footsteps. Zhao Yongjun and the other two walked into the backyard.
Xia Ruofei put the soup bowl in his hand on the table and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhao, did everything go well?"
"It's all done!" Zhao Yongjun said with a smile, "I also bought some personal items for Wu Qiang!"
Xia Ruofei saw Wu Qiang carrying a lot of things, so he said to Song Rui, "Song Rui, there are a few more dishes in the kitchen. Help me bring them over!"
Then he said to Wu Qiang, "Wu Qiang, you will live in this courtyard from now on. Go pick a room and put your things down!"
"Yes, boss!" Wu Qiang respectfully replied.
Although the third courtyard wasn't big, it still had five or six bedrooms. Wu Qiang wasn't picky about where to live. He randomly picked a room and put his things in. Then he ran over to help bring the dishes.
Zhao Yongjun asked with a smile, "Ruofei, what dishes did you make that smells so good?"
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "You guys are lucky. I saw our company's Taoyuan vegetables in Sam's Club, so I bought some for you guys to try!"
"Is that so? I've been hearing Xiao Rui say how delicious your company's vegetables are these two days. My heart is itching to go to Sanshan to have a good meal! "Zhao Yongjun said happily," I didn't expect your products to be sold in Beijing! "
"This is a cooperation with Super Commerce. The initial production capacity is limited. Later on, it should be distributed throughout the country." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
Song Rui saw the Zui Ba Xian wine on the table and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! You even have Zui Ba Xian! Today's meal is very sumptuous! "
"I also bought it from Sam's Club." Xia Ruofei said without changing his expression.
"Zui Ba Xian?" Zhao Yongjun showed a puzzled expression.
Song Rui said with a grin, "Zhao Dage, you only know that Ruofei's company produces high-end vegetables. You don't know that he also invested in a wine factory! Let me tell you, this wine is selling like crazy in Southeast Province. The price isn't expensive, but the taste is not worse than Maotai Wuliangye! "
"Is that so? Then I'll have to drink a few more cups today! "Zhao Yongjun said happily.
He was also a person who loved wine. Today, he unexpectedly reunited with the soldiers that he had previously trained, so his mood was quite good.
Everyone quickly went to the table to eat. Without any suspense, the Zui Ba Xian and the table full of Taoyuan vegetables conquered Zhao Yongjun and Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang was still a little reserved, but Zhao Yongjun couldn't help but praise loudly. It wasn't the first time that Song Rui tasted Taoyuan vegetables, so he didn't speak at all at the beginning. He just kept his head down and ate.
Today, they were all men, so there was no need to pay attention to any manners when eating. After a while, everyone was like a whirlwind that swept away the clouds, and the dishes on the table were all eaten up. They also drank two bottles of Zui Ba Xian wine.
Zhao Yongjun wiped his mouth and said with a little unsatisfied, "Satisfying! Today's meal is really satisfying! Those clubs and private restaurants aren't as good as Ruofei's dishes! Ruofei, if you open a restaurant, I guarantee that you can 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 considered average … "
After the meal, 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 there for the night, so the three of them went out again and bought a few sets of bedding. As for Wu Qiang, he stayed at home to tidy up.
Driving to a nearby store, Xia Ruofei thought about it and simply bought a few sets of bedsheets, pillows, and blankets.
He was thinking that if guests came to his house in the future, they would be useful, so these were also things that he always had at home.
After returning to the courtyard, Zhao Yongjun and Song Rui each picked a guest room and brought a set of bedding to the room. They did it themselves, so that they had enough food and clothing.
Xia Ruofei also kept a set, and then let Wu Qiang put the rest of the sets in the empty guest room cabinets.
Xia Ruofei naturally stayed in the largest master bedroom in the second courtyard.
The huge master bedroom was also equipped with a separate bathroom, a huge jacuzzi tub, and a separate cloakroom. In addition, there was also a study and a living room. The entire large room spanned across two courtyards, and the interior decoration was very luxurious.
After Xia Ruofei took a hot bath, he took out a set of clean home clothes from the space and changed into them. He laid on the bed and looked at his phone for a while before falling asleep.
The night was quiet.
The next day, Xia Ruofei gave Wu Qiang the second-level access to the smart home control system. This way, even if he was not at home, Wu Qiang could still go in and out normally.
Zhao Yongjun's friend, who was in the restoration of ancient buildings, also came over. After checking the site, he quickly came up with a preliminary restoration plan and budget.
Xia Ruofei constantly made changes, so the total was about five hundred thousand yuan.
For the restoration of ancient buildings, such a small project couldn't be any smaller. 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 trusted the person Zhao Yongjun found, so he nodded and agreed after looking at it for a while.
However, he couldn't stay in Beijing forever. Fortunately, Wu Qiang was officially on duty, so he could keep an eye on the reconstruction of the courtyard house. In addition, Zhao Yongjun was also in Beijing, so there shouldn't be any problems with him looking after it.
Xia Ruofei and Zhao Yongjun's friend went out together and went to the bank to transfer the project advance payment to him.
Wu Qiang stayed in the courtyard house alone.
After he tidied up inside and out, he picked up a broom and began to sweep the fallen leaves in the courtyard. It was early autumn, and some trees in the north had already begun to shed their leaves.
After cleaning the three large courtyards, Wu Qiang found a leather pipe from the tool room, connected it to the faucet in the courtyard, and began to wash the bluestone slabs.
In the past two days, people came and went, bringing in a lot of dust. The military camp was generally spotless, so Wu Qiang wasn't used to seeing a little dirty, so he had to clean it up.
Although Xia Ruofei said that he could hire hourly workers to clean the courtyard house, Wu Qiang felt a little apologetic because he was paid so much a month and didn't have any work to do every day.
Therefore, he decided that he didn't need to hire hourly workers to clean the courtyard house. He would clean it himself every day, since it didn't take much effort anyway.
Just as Wu Qiang was cleaning the courtyard, the side door of the front yard opened.
Wu Qiang put the leather pipe that was still running into the flowerbed, and then straightened up.
He saw a brand-new Land Rover slowly drive in from outside the door.
After Wu Qiang saw that it was Xia Ruofei sitting in the car, he quickly turned off the faucet, then quickly walked forward and respectfully said, "Boss, you're back!"
Xia Ruofei opened the door and jumped out of the car, nodding with a smile.
Then he said, "Why are you cleaning up by yourself? Didn't I say that you could hire someone to do it? "
Wu Qiang smiled honestly and said, "Boss, I can do this kind of work. Don't waste any more money …"
Wu Qiang's parents had to take medicine for a long time in the countryside. His younger brother and sister were more hardworking, and all three of them were admitted to university. The whole family relied on his salary every month to live.
In the past, when he was a security captain, although he had a monthly salary of six thousand yuan, he tried his best to eat until he was full. The remaining two meals were basically just for the sake of making do. He spent as little as possible and sent the money he saved to his parents and siblings.
Now that he had changed to work for Xia Ruofei, his salary suddenly increased by a lot, and food and accommodation were also included. He suddenly had a lot of money in his hands.
Yesterday, Xia Ruofei gave him a month's salary in advance, and also asked for his bank card number. He also signed a formal employment contract with the Taoyuan Company. In the future, he would be an official employee of the Taoyuan Company, and his salary would be credited to his card every month.
Wu Qiang's gratitude to Xia Ruofei was from the bottom of his heart, and cleaning was naturally completely voluntary.
Xia Ruofei could feel Wu Qiang's sincerity, and he also knew that he couldn't dampen Wu Qiang's enthusiasm at this time, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Well, if you do a good job, I'll give you a raise at the end of the year …"
"Boss, the salary is already very high …" Wu Qiang said quickly.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Our company's employees are regularly increased, and we're not giving you a special treatment!"
After that, he threw the car key to Wu Qiang.
