“Yangzi, arrange for someone to unload these things, and I'll head back first,” Lv Liang said from the side.
“They’re already unloaded. Are you eating here later?” Guo Xu Yang asked.
“Unloaded? When did that happen? You…”
“Never mind, I should hurry back to report. I’ll host a welcome banquet for you when you return.”
“Alright. Travel safely. You can contact Xia Li directly in two or three days. Have her take you to find Old Xu.”
“Okay. I’m heading back now. I wish you a smooth journey in advance.”
“Just remember to throw us a welcome banquet then.”
“No problem,” Lv Liang said, and drove away with the car.
“When did you arrange for people to unload it? How come I didn’t know?” Xu Dahai was a bit bewildered.
“When we went down to pick stones earlier. They finished just as we came up.”
“Wonder what they prepared for us?”
“You’ll find out when we get to the spaceship.”
As the two were talking, another box truck drove over.
“Manager Guo, the lamb you ordered has been delivered.”
A young man in his twenties got out and ran over, saying.
“Good, good, good. No need to go out for lunch today; we can have lamb soup at home. Come, you two, lend a hand.”
Guo Xu Yang called out to Xu Dahai and Tong Xin.
“So much? How much is it?” Xu Dahai exclaimed.
“This is one hundred jin of lamb and three hundred jin of braised beef,” the young man said.
“Braised beef?” Guo Xu Yang said.
“Yes, Manager Guo. Manager Liu specifically arranged for it to be delivered.”
“When was this made?”
“It was just finished, so I rushed to bring it over. On the way, I also picked up lamb soup from the restaurant. There are two large barrels of lamb soup as well.”
“How much is it?”
“Eight thousand.”
“I’ll transfer it to you.”
“No need, Manager Guo. Manager Liu arranged it specifically.”
“Then thank you.”
“You’re welcome, Manager Guo. Where should I unload this?”
“Unload it in the yard first. I’ll take it inside once it cools down.”
“Alright, Manager Guo.” After speaking, the young man directed two people in the truck to climb into the box truck and bring out the steaming braised beef and lamb.
It took six people over half an hour to unload the four hundred jin of meat.
“You should eat before you leave,” Guo Xu Yang said.
“No, Manager Guo. We still have to go pick up chickens and ducks. We have a big client today, and they need a lot of things.”
“Then travel safely.”
“Okay, Manager Guo. Goodbye!” The young man said, and then he and the other two drove away.
“Yangzi, how long will it take us to finish all this meat?” Xu Dahai said.
“This is hardly anything! It’s not even enough for Kasa to eat.”
“Kasa? Who’s that?”
“A dog. You’ve met her before.”
“You mean the one who saved us last time…”
“Yes. That’s her.”
“I thought she had disappeared into outer space.”
“She’s my companion. How could I abandon her?
Let’s go back to the room first. I’ll get a pot later to serve the lamb soup.”
“Is it just the three of us?”
“Yes. Who else were you expecting?”
“What about your female companions? Yezi and Yu’er?”
“They won’t be here until the afternoon.”
“Why do I feel like Yezi and the other one are even more formidable than you?”
“What do you mean? I’m their master, alright?”
“You… fine, you’re formidable.”
“Don’t be unconvinced. Want me to show you a couple of moves?”
“Let’s skip that. You’re practically a monster.
Let’s eat, or it’ll get cold soon, and then it won’t taste good. Is there any wine?”
“Oh, right. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten a major matter.”
“What matter?”
“Wine. How miserable would a long journey be without wine?” Guo Xu Yang exclaimed, clapping his hands.
