The fish was delicious, and the dried shrimps were delicious too, but the moment Guan Jianguo asked the question, Tan Yuan obviously didn't follow his thoughts, and it took her two seconds to react.

Why is he asking this out of the blue? Could it be that Comrade Guan Jianguo is planning to start a seafood business on the black market in Changyun County?

Fresh ones definitely won’t work. There are no highways, no ice cubes or foam boxes to keep them cold. Even if they are transported by a fleet of trucks, they will go bad by the time they are delivered. The only option is dried goods.

Shu is an inland city. Many people have never seen the sea in their entire lives, let alone eaten seafood. However, it has been verified by later generations that people in Shu also like to eat seafood very much, and they can make do even if there is no fresh dried food.

I didn’t expect that Comrade Guan Jianguo was so business-minded and wanted to bring dried goods and seafood to the tables of people in Shu in advance.

The hand that takes the favor is grateful, and the mouth that eats the favor is soft. Tan Yuan ate a lot. She felt that her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up.

"Well... let me go back and think about it and I'll tell you tomorrow."

Tan Yuan felt that she had to take this matter seriously in order to be worthy of Guan Jianguo. If it weren't for him, she really wouldn't have met Zeng Erwa, not to mention that she had eaten so much of Comrade Guan Jianguo's food.

Now it was Guan Jianguo's turn to be confused. He just wanted to ask Tan Yuan what she liked to eat so that he could ask them to mail more. Why did this have to wait until tomorrow?

——Could it be that Comrade Tan Yuan wants to see me again tomorrow?

Such a guess flashed through Guan Jianguo's mind, and he grasped it keenly. He felt happy in his heart, as if he had eaten honey just picked from the tree, so sweet.

His expression remained calm and still cold: "Okay, it doesn't matter at most."

Tan Yuan blinked her eyes. Is that so rude? It doesn't matter if there are more...

In order to justify the seafood she ate, Tan Yuan felt overwhelmed.

"Grandma, what do you like to eat of the seafood Guan Jianguo brought back this time?"

Grandma Wang was delighted to see Tan Yuan. "I like everything..."

She likes everything her granddaughter makes.

"Are you writing? I'll go make you some egg water. Girls need to nourish themselves more."

Although Grandma Wang is old, she is very nimble and can light the fire, cook, boil water and boil eggs in one go. Since she became a relative of Tan Yuan, her attitude towards her has become better than before. At least she is now very happy to cook for her.

The egg water in Shu is brown sugar fermented glutinous rice and egg. Grandma Wang’s family raises two chickens, which are specially used for laying eggs. In the past, Grandma Wang herself was reluctant to eat them, and usually gave them to the educated youth in the team. Now that she has a granddaughter, she doesn’t save them anymore. A brown sugar fermented glutinous rice and egg water every day is indispensable.

As long as the old lady was happy, Tan Yuan would not refuse and would swallow the sweet egg water obediently. As long as she got enough "benefits" now, she would be able to righteously refuse Grandma Wang's request not to let her take care of her in her old age and take her away from Huaiyin Brigade.

Both of them have their own ideas, and they are both following their own ideas step by step.

But now Tan Yuan is still very distressed. The answer given by her grandmother is too general, and she has to ask two more people.

Tan Yuan picked up a pen and paper and left, asking around for the people from Huaiyin Brigade who had received the "gift" from Guan Jianguo.

"I like them all. I like them cooked in soup, and they're also delicious steamed."

The Zhao family also got several fish. Zhao Xiaoliu licked his lips unconsciously when he thought of the taste of the sea fish. However, when he was asked to say the name of each fish, his eyebrows were wrinkled. He had eaten them all, so how could he tell them apart?

The suggestions of the Zhao family's children were of little use. In their opinion, as long as they had meat to eat, everything would be perfect.

Tan Yuan went to Lin Guoan's house again, and found that Lin Panpan, who had not been seen for a long time, was at home.

"Sister Tan Yuan, do you think it looks good?"

Lin Panpan was wearing a new dress, and Tan Yuan recognized it at a glance. The fabric was exactly what she bought at the trade fair.

"It looks good. Panpan looks good in anything she wears."

Lin Panpan inherited Qian Guihua's skin, which is fair and rosy, and her facial features are also good. This dress looks perfect on her.

Lin Panpan's eyebrows were about to fly up when she got the affirmation. She touched the skirt with her hands and her expression was full of reluctance: "It's a pity that the weather is not good now, otherwise I really want to wear it out."

"You still have the mentality of a child. Go in and change your clothes."

Qian Guihua smiled and patted Lin Panpan's head. Her tone of reproach was filled with deep maternal love. Lin Panpan pouted and said, "I know."

As soon as Lin Panpan entered the room, Qian Guihua waved to Tan Yuan: "You came at the right time. The clothes I made for you are ready. I was just about to send them to you. Come and try them on."

The material was bought by Tan Yuan herself, but the style was chosen by Qian Guihua. It was the most fashionable style in Changyun County. Qian Guihua specially asked her sister-in-law for the pattern. It might not be a big deal in other places, but in a small place like Changyun County, it would definitely attract attention if worn out.

Tan Yuan took the clothes and looked at them again and again, her eyes almost overflowing with admiration. To some extent, this dress could be considered a custom-made one.

Qian Guihua was naturally happy that she liked it. Tan Yuan had not forgotten the main purpose of her visit and asked Qian Guihua's family which kind of sea fish they thought was the most delicious.

As soon as she said this, Qian Guihua's eyes revealed something strange. She didn't know that Guan Jianguo was doing business in the county's black market. How could she not be surprised that Tan Yuan asked about this? Even if someone wanted to ask, it should be Guan Jianguo himself who asked.

The surprise soon turned into other emotions. She was obviously in high spirits and started to have a detailed conversation with Tan Yuan.

Qian Guihua spoke very convincingly, and she even made a small dried fish bloom into a flower. Tan Yuan was embarrassed. Those who knew that she was collapsing the fish, while those who didn't thought she was praising the person who sent the fish.

However, she still carefully wrote down what Qian Guihua said, waiting to sort it out when she returned. This would be a way to justify eating so much fish.

Tan Yuan worked diligently on this small-scale market research. When Nian Lin returned, she saw her sitting at a table by the window, writing and drawing. Nian Lin stretched her stiff neck and asked, "What are you writing?"

Tan Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "You're back! I'm summarizing everyone's opinions on the sea fish sent by Guan Jianguo. Oh, and our clothes are ready. Go try them on."

There were three pieces of clothing in total, owned by her, Nianlin and Li Xiu. Li Xiu was still working at the county store, where canned fish had already started selling. In addition, the daytime hours gradually became longer after the New Year, so she came back later.

Nian Lin glanced at the clothes spread out on the bed, then looked at Tan Yuan, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
