Chapter 263: Visiting Again
Chapter 263: Visiting Again
Although I expected that this Ukrainian girl named Jasmine would probably come to me again, I didn't expect her to come again in two days.
At noon that day, I just came back from the beach with a backpack, which contained the seashells I picked up. The locals call this kind of shells Gala.Soak this shell in seawater for a period of time, and they will automatically open their mouths to spit out the sand inside.Then fry them in a pot with their shells. The shell meat is tender and refreshing. It is also a delicious dish, and it is one of my favorite dishes.
Before I got home, I saw an off-road vehicle parked at the door. When I saw this car, I didn't know who the owner of this car was!
The gate of my courtyard was not locked, and I thought someone must have entered the courtyard.
As for me not locking the courtyard door, there is also a reason.
Because my yard is rich in fruits and vegetables, it often attracts gluttonous children from the village.Once I was taking an afternoon nap in the pergola, and I was awakened by a rustling sound in the mist. I squinted and saw two half-grown children climbing in from the high courtyard wall.
I didn't stop, I squinted and observed them calmly.I saw them twist two cucumbers and two tomatoes, and then rolled out of the yard like two monkeys. Their nimble figures almost stunned me.
I didn't say anything, I'm also a person who came from childhood, so I naturally know that the children's character is just greedy, which is not a big fault, so I let them go.
Although they look as agile as monkeys, I still worry that they will accidentally fall off the wall.
So since then, my courtyard door has never been locked.
Every time I come back from the outside, I see traces of patronage in my yard, imagining their spooky and vigilant like rabbits, and I can't help smiling.
Feeling suspicious, I opened the courtyard door and saw Jasmine sitting on a stone bench under the awning, eating a cucumber in her hand, and a small pile of grape skins on the stone table. of.
Seeing me coming in, Jasmine quickly stood up and looked at me with a smile.
"Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, I entered your courtyard without your permission, and... I haven't refrained from eating your cucumbers and grapes!" After speaking, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed, her fair face There is a touch of rhyme red on it.
Seeing her like this, I secretly laughed in my heart, I didn't expect that she, who is bold and forthright, also has the side of a little woman.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I can't finish it. It's no different between giving it to others and giving it to you! What, how does the grape I grow taste?" In order to dispel her embarrassment, I changed the subject.
Jasmine nodded, and said with certainty: "The grapes are delicious, but a little sour!"
I laughed out loud: "Of course it's sour. I just picked all the ripe grapes yesterday and gave them to the workers to taste. Now there are some unripe grapes on them, so they will naturally be sour!"
Jasmine curled her lips when she heard this and said, "You are so strange! You are always so kind to others! But you are so harsh on yourself!"
I smiled and said nothing, how could she know how grateful I am for living now!
"Last time you said you would invite me to dinner, does that count?" She looked at me and asked with a blushing face.
"Of course it counts!" I raised the scallop in my hand and said to her, "Today I will treat you to fried chili with Gala!" But I thought in my heart: You have come here, so why not count!
Jasmine obviously didn't know what was going on in my heart, so she cheerfully came over to take my back basket and peeped inside.Then make a gesture of joy and say: "This is Gala? Isn't this a shell? Can shells be eaten?"
Seeing her surprised look, I knew that she must have never eaten this. It seemed that she didn't know much about Chinese food culture. I think Chinese people are at the forefront of the world in their research on the food on the plate.
"Of course you can eat it, just wait, trust me, you will definitely like it!"
Seeing that it was already noon, I opened the door and poured the shells into the seawater I kept at home, and then fished out a few barracudas and sea prawns from the water and washed them by the well.
Jasmine moved a small stool and sat beside me watching me serve the ingredients that were going to be used to entertain her.
Although I have only met this Ukrainian girl once, and the cooperation she mentioned is just an idea, but I seem to be very familiar with her, and I know that this is due to her straightforwardness and familiarity of Westerners Traits, in a sense, she is quite similar to Da Zhuang, she is the kind of person who can get along easily, so I accepted her easily.
"Mr. Wei, I'm going back to China in the next few days. I'm here to bring back some of your products. By the way, I'll tell my uncle about your situation and try to persuade you to invest in your company!" Sitting next to me, Jasmine stretched her neck to watch me cook fish and shrimp while explaining her purpose for coming this time.
"Miss Jasmine, I have a question that I don't quite understand! Can you answer me honestly?"
"What's the problem?" she asked.
"There are so many seafood processing companies in our city, and many of them are large companies with considerable scale. I think it is more suitable for you to talk to them about cooperation. Why did you choose me, a small company with no strength? Don't Say that our company's products are delicious, but they are all the same, I know this very well!" I asked the question in my heart.
I also asked this question last time, but her answer did not satisfy me, so I asked this question again.
Jasmine rolled her blue eyes, and said after two seconds: "Because the product I brought back to China happened to be produced by your company, that's why I immediately thought of working with your company."
I glanced at her and shook my head noncommittally.Her words obviously did not convince me. Although her words were not unreasonable, after she came to understand the strength of my company last time, she still insisted on cooperating with my company without changing her original intention, and even offered to pay for it. I expand the factory, which is a bit illogical.
Jasmine probably also knew that her words were not convincing to me. She thought about it and said, "Actually, you are right. From the perspective of a businessman, I do have a better choice. But since the last time When I came here to meet you, I never want to cooperate with other people. You are different from other people, and you make me trust you unconsciously. If you have to ask why, to be honest, I also have no idea."
I looked up at her and sighed secretly.Her explanation was equivalent to saying nothing, but it was impossible to find fault with it.
"It seems that you are not a qualified businessman. A qualified businessman will not choose it knowingly that there are risks and ways to avoid them. I think your uncle will probably not agree." I smiled lightly. road.
Jasmine pursed her lips when she heard the words, and said with a noncommittal expression: "What about you? You are a qualified businessman. Are you doing things to the villagers of this village out of consideration for your own interests? ?You can obviously buy their seafood at a lower price, and you can also hire workers at a lower wage, and you won’t give them the breeding base that you spent a lot of money to use for free. You can definitely hire people to help You manage the breeding base, this is the reasonable thinking of a normal person, why don't you do it?" It seems that her understanding of me and my company is really not at 01:30.
After Jasmine finished speaking, she stared into my eyes, as if trying to find the answer he wanted from my eyes.
Her words made my heart stagnate, and I didn't know how to answer her series of questioning.
She was right, I did do it for another purpose.It's just the reason, and I can't explain it to her. If I tell her that what I fear is happiness and success, I'm afraid she will find it even more difficult to understand.
Seeing that I was speechless, she had a triumphant smile on her face.
"So, let us two unqualified businessmen complete this cooperation. Isn't this also a kind of fate?"
I smiled and shook my head, ignored her, and continued to lower my head to caress the barracudas in my hand, but I said in my heart: I hope you don't get caught in the face of your uncle when you return to China this time.
After the lunch was ready and several dishes were served on the table, I suddenly remembered that two days ago, I had promised Jasmine that I would definitely prepare drinks when she came to visit next time.
It's just that I didn't expect her to come so soon, but I didn't have time to prepare the drinks. I thought I would disappoint her again.There is a shop in the village, but the most expensive liquor sold in it is not more than 50 yuan. I'm afraid she can't drink it, so think about it or forget it.
I was just about to say sorry to her, but unexpectedly she said first: "Is there no wine prepared?"
I rubbed my hands together and smiled awkwardly.
Jasmine gave me a slightly annoyed look, then took the bag next to her, and took out two bottles of red wine from it.
"I knew it!" she said in a tone that she had already guessed.
"You Chinese just like to say some polite words. You obviously don't think so in your heart, but you still want to say it so nicely. People in our country are not like this. So I will come again after I say it, so I will come!" Said At the end, she seemed to feel a little embarrassed by the high-sounding sound of what she said when she was clearly here to eat, and she burst out laughing.
I also found it funny in my heart, thinking to myself, this girl is really good at making excuses, she is obviously doing her own food, but she also preemptively robs others, it is really unreasonable!
But her casual personality, I quite appreciate.It's not like some women, who are obviously very happy in their hearts, but act coy and want to refuse.In comparison, Jasmine's big and rough personality is more appreciated, at least I think so.
She even took out two red wine glasses from an exquisite box, obviously she also expected that I would not have such things here.
She washed the glass with clean water, poured some red wine to rinse it, and only poured two glasses.
I wanted to tell her that I couldn't drink alcohol, but seeing that she had prepared so carefully for the meal, it was not easy to dampen her interest, so I didn't refuse.
