Chapter 216 - 216 Additional Order
216 Additional Order
The order from City Z was delivered once every three days, but the timing of City Z’s delivery was different from City H’s delivery so that the transport truck would have the time to deliver the goods.
S City, Huazhong Military District. ...
“This bean paste is so tasty! It’s very authentic!”
“Indeed, it’s much better than the chili sauce we bought in the canteen.”
“This meal is delicious.”
The soldiers in the army came from all over the world and had all kinds of preferences. There were also many spicy food lovers in the Huazhong Military District.
Since he was free today, Zeng Wei didn’t ask the orderly to help get food today. He went to the canteen himself, but he didn’t expect the complaints he usually heard to become praises today. Hence, after getting food, he also got a small spoonful of bean paste in the ingredients area.
Zeng Wei liked bland food. After taking a few bites of the spicy food, he couldn’t help but drink some water. However, he still wanted to eat the food. After the meal, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. However, even so, he, who didn’t eat spicy food, couldn’t resist the charm of this chili bean paste.
Thinking about how his wife also liked spicy food, Zeng Wei called the logistics department to buy two cans.
The people of the logistics department were amused when they received the call. “Mr. Zeng, we only bought a total of 50 bottles. I still have half of them left, but more than ten people want to buy them. You might as well ask Zeng Li. I have to contact him later to increase the price.”
Zeng Li? When did this brat’s reach extend to this place?
“Alright, I understand.” Zeng Wei hung up after figuring things out.
When Zeng Wei returned home at night, he happened to see his wife holding a glass bottle with the words “red oil bean paste” written on it. The red bottle was exactly the same as the one he had eaten from today. “Zeng Li brought it home?”
Lin Xue teased her husband with a smile, “You’ve become more observant. These few days, you were able to guess what we wanted before you even came home.”
When Zeng Li came down from the second floor and saw his brother, he raised his eyebrows proudly. “You’re back. I heard from the logistics department that you’re quite fond of my red oil bean paste!”
Zeng Wei glared at Zeng Li. Zeng Li was 20 years younger than Zeng Wei and the entire family doted on him. Because of this, he was a good-for-nothing even at 21 years old. When Zeng Wei was 20 years old back then, he had been in the army for a few years and was already married!
However, although Zeng Wei complained, he couldn’t bear to force his brother to do something he didn’t like. As long as Zeng Li didn’t do anything illegal, Zeng Li could do whatever he wanted outside.
Ever since Zeng Li was born, their mother hadn’t been in good health. She followed their father in the army and could barely take care of their second sister. Therefore, Zeng Wei and Lin Xue brought Zeng Li, who was just a year old, home and raised him with their half-year-old son.
Zeng Li’s elder brother was like a father, while his elder sister-in-law was like a mother. Zeng Wei and Lin Xue treated their third brother as their son. Zeng Wei doted on him even more than his son. In addition, Zeng Li had been eloquent since he was young and was well-liked by adults.
After Zeng Wei took off his hat and coat, he said to Zeng Li, “You’re not allowed to interfere in the military’s procurement in the future.”
Zeng Li could successfully get through to the logistics department this time because of the Zeng family’s power in the army. However, this was a critical moment for their father’s re-election, so Zeng Wei couldn’t help but lecture Zeng Li.
Zeng Li put on an amiable expression and placed his hand on Zeng Wei’s shoulder. “Brother, I’m doing this for the benefit of the spicy food lovers. The logistics department called our house today. They were practically begging me to increase the price! You can’t let everyone return to the days of eating boiled vegetables for nothing just to keep a low profile.”
Zeng Wei thought of the food preferences problem that was mentioned at every meeting and said, “Bean paste is an exception. You’re not allowed to interfere in anything else!”
“Alright, alright, alright!” Zeng Li agreed for the time being.
Zeng Li had always been indignant that his family treated him as a mischievous child who had yet to grow up. Therefore, when he saw the red oil bean paste brought by his subordinates, he immediately thought of the problem that his brother had mentioned. The logistics department had never been able to buy the chili sauce the soldiers wanted, so he hurriedly arranged it.
He thought that if this matter was settled, he could change his family’s impression of him!
Unexpectedly, he still didn’t get what he wanted.
He Mountain Village.
Yu Bing was checking the accounts with Wen Qin in the office separated from the warehouse. When she realized that two numbers didn’t match, she was annoyed.
