Chapter 93: Please Have Some Tea

You have received a new chapter update: Chapter 93: Please Have Some Tea, here is the reading link.

Nan Hui skillfully brewed the tea while explaining it to the two people sitting opposite her.

"This is black tea. In autumn, the weather is dry, and the coldness in the body begins to rise. Drinking some black tea can suppress the coldness and protect the stomach and lungs."

Huang Xiaochuan's knowledge of tea is so limited that he understands six out of seven points, but not the other one.

However, enjoying the service of the beautiful female boss and sipping good tea is quite nice.

The teacup was placed on the coffee table next to Huang Xiaochuan, who nodded slightly and said, "Thank you!"

Ge Changli also expressed his gratitude to Nan Hui.

As Nan Hui turned around, he winked at Huang Xiaochuan, as if asking Huang Xiaochuan when he met this landlady.

There are some things Huang Xiaochuan can't say in front of Nan Hui.

He shook his head slightly at Ge Changli.

After Nan Hui returned to her seat, she handed her business card to Huang Xiaochuan and Ge Changli respectively.

"Nan Hui, I've opened a small shop here. I hope you two will come and sit down often in the future, and have a chat when you have nothing to do."

Huang Xiaochuan accepted the business card with both hands: "Huang Xiaochuan."

Ge Changli bowed slightly: "Ge Changli."

Nan Huiyu gently raised her hand and said, "Please have some tea, both of you."

After scanning the shop, Huang Xiaochuan noticed that the proprietress named Nan Hui had stockpiled a lot of stamps. It seemed that she was a capable and resourceful woman, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to run her business so successfully in this market.

Nan Hui asked, "You two came here empty-handed today? Didn't you find any stamps you liked?"

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm just here to take a look around and get a feel for the market atmosphere. I haven't decided what to buy yet."

Ge Changli had already converted all his wealth into stamps, and this trip was purely to get a feel for the market, so he said, "Just wandering around the market."

"Mr. Huang, you're so young, you don't seem like someone who does business. May I ask what you do for a living?"

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and said, "The landlady has a good eye; I'm still in school."

Huang Xiaochuan's words startled Nan Hui. This young man named Huang Xiaochuan was actually a student? This was truly unbelievable. Where did a student like him get so much money?

"Going to college?"

"Yes!"

Nan Hui's beautiful eyes flickered a few times. She's actually a college student? Interesting.

"Mr. Huang, since you are a college student, your perspective must be different from ours. I'd like to ask you what type of stamps you currently favor."

"Boss lady, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me by my name. You keep calling me Mr. Huang, and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable sitting here."

"No, that won't do. You're a college student, an educated person. It's only right that we address you as Mr. Huang."

Ugh! Those words made Huang Xiaochuan a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly twice to cover his awkwardness, "Ahem."

"I am more optimistic about the first issue stamps. Generally speaking, the first issue stamps have a small print run, and the State Post Bureau does not announce subsequent issuance plans in a timely manner, which leads stamp collectors to treat them as normal stamps. Moreover, some of the print run will naturally be worn away during use, resulting in even fewer remaining in the market."

Huang Xiaochuan's words were watertight, after all, this is the general opinion on the 80s generation in the market.

Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan not only said this, but also did it; he currently holds a considerable number of 80 monkeys.

Nan Hui was not satisfied with Huang Xiaochuan's answer, so she could only patiently continue the conversation to see if she could get some solid information out of him. She always felt that this seemingly harmless young man was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Nan Hui smiled and said, "I do business in this market, so I occasionally invite customers like Mr. Huang and Mr. Ge to come to my shop to sit down and understand their needs, so that I can continue doing business."

"It's not easy for a woman like me to run a business. I definitely don't have the physical strength, so I can only rely on using my brain and my words, and making more friends. I hope you two don't mind me saying this!"

Ge Changli also realized that this beautiful proprietress was a formidable character, and couldn't help but glance at Huang Xiaochuan again, whose expression remained unchanged.

Ge Changli made a polite remark: "You invited us for tea, so why would we mind? We're the ones who delayed the proprietress's business."

The three of them drank tea and chatted, talking about many interesting things in the stamp market and analyzing the current prospects of the stamp market. Ge Changli and Nan Hui did most of the talking.

Huang Xiaochuan simply sipped his tea and listened attentively to their conversation without saying a word.

When Nan Hui couldn't help herself, she would steer the conversation toward Huang Xiaochuan and ask him for his opinions on certain issues.

Unfortunately, Huang Xiaochuan was a man of few words. He would usually answer whatever Nan Hui asked, but his answers were either ambiguous or he would simply change the subject.

Nan Hui couldn't get a single useful piece of information out of him, so she couldn't help but label Huang Xiaochuan as a "little rascal" in her mind.

Nan Hui was unwilling to give up, so she suggested, "If Mr. Huang wants to sell his 80 monkeys, please consider mine first. I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Ge Changli knew that Huang Xiaochuan had some 80 Monkey prints, but he didn't know what happened afterward. He didn't know that Huang Xiaochuan now had more than sixty 80 Monkey prints, and according to today's market price, this batch of complete 80 Monkey prints was worth nearly two million RMB.

Nan Hui only knew that Huang Xiaochuan had a batch of complete sets of 80 monkeys. She didn't know the exact number, but she was sure it wouldn't be small. After all, he had bought quite a few from her before, and that day the kid was wandering around the market, spending lavishly and buying up a lot of goods.

To be honest, Nan Hui is the only person who can roughly guess how much wealth Huang Xiaochuan has.

After all, she had been a bit too cautious back then, letting Acheng follow her for half a day. And it was thanks to that foresight that her wealth increased significantly.

Currently, Nan Hui is considered one of the top three stamp dealers in this market, all thanks to Huang Xiaochuan.

Actually, there was another meaning behind Nan Hui's words. She really wanted to know when this young man planned to ship the goods. This might mean that it was time to sell them. After all, stamp dealers like them couldn't keep all their goods in their hands. As long as the price reached a suitable range, they would definitely sell them.

Money is always safest when it's in your pocket, but she never imagined that the rise of the 80 Monkeys (a type of currency) had only just begun.

Upon hearing Nan Hui's words, Huang Xiaochuan responded directly.

"Since the proprietress said so, I will definitely come when needed."

Having finished their tea and said their piece, Huang Xiaochuan stood up to say goodbye to Nan Hui.

"Thank you for the tea, ma'am. I'll come back for more next time."

Hearing Huang Xiaochuan say this, Nan Hui's eyes lit up. She understood what he meant; it meant that the next time they came for tea, it would be the time he came to ship the goods.

It was almost six o'clock when we left Engineer Lu's place; the tea had lasted for nearly two hours.

Huang Xiaochuan and Ge Changli had agreed to have dinner together tonight. Ge Changli chose the location, and Huang Xiaochuan would pay the bill.

Ge Changli led Huang Xiaochuan to an alley where there was a small restaurant. You would never find this restaurant without someone showing you the way.

It's a husband-and-wife shop; the wife greets customers in the front while the husband cooks in the back.

The traditional Shanghainese dishes here are very authentic. Dishes like braised shredded vegetables, pickled vegetables, vegetarian gluten, fried fish, stir-fried rice cake with hairy crab, and fried shrimp are all delicious. However, since there were only two of us this time, we didn't order some of the dishes.

However, Huang Xiaochuan had already decided that he would bring Yu Xiang here next time so that she could also try the food here.

The two were in high spirits tonight and bought two jin of Shaoxing wine, one jin each. Actually, Huang Xiaochuan didn't like drinking Shaoxing wine, but Ge Changli persuaded him to try the homemade Shaoxing wine, guaranteeing he wouldn't regret it, so Huang Xiaochuan agreed to drink some.

The two chatted and sipped their wine, and before they knew it, they had each finished a pound of Shaoxing wine.

"A thousand cups of wine are not enough when drinking with a bosom friend." The two chatted amiably and enjoyed the wine, eventually agreeing to meet again next time.

After seeing Ge Changli off, Huang Xiaochuan rode his bike back to school.
