Chapter Thirty-Six: Safeguarding Shen Zhi'an
The saleswoman didn't expect that a tough guy would come in today and put such a big hat on her head.
As salespersons in supply and marketing cooperatives and employees of state-owned units, it is inevitable for them to be a little arrogant sometimes.
To those country people who come to buy things, they often show a condescending attitude.
But in the past, those people didn't dare to say anything, only Zhou Ran dared to challenge.
But they really don't take this matter seriously, and they are even afraid of being labeled as such. Not only will they lose their jobs, they may also get into other big troubles.
The salesperson's expression suddenly changed, from being arrogant to being arrogant, "Comrade, we don't look down on farmers. I'm sorry, it was just our attitude that had a problem. Will we definitely correct it in the future?"
Zhou Ran snorted, "You are not apologizing to me, but to the comrade you just insulted."
The salesperson immediately looked at Shen Zhian and said to him, "Comrade, I'm sorry, we did something wrong. I will change the pot for you right now."
With that said, the salesperson brought out several styles of pots for Shen Zhian to choose, and also quoted him the price of each pot.
Only then did Shen Zhian withdraw his gaze from Zhou Ran.
This was the first time that he was protected by someone like this.
Zhou Ran's actions just now undoubtedly touched Shen Zhian.
The little girl usually looks cute and smiles, which is quite cute. It turns out that she has such courage when she becomes strong. After all, he doesn't understand her and underestimates her.
As for the salesperson's attitude just now, Shen Zhian didn't want to care too much.
Zhou Ran taught him a lesson, and they themselves admitted their mistakes, so there was no need to hold on to him anymore.
From the several styles of pots they displayed, Shen Zhian chose a small pot.
"Let's do this."
Three yuan, plus an industrial coupon, is not expensive.
After paying the money and ticket, Shen Zhian didn't buy anything else.
Zhou Ran bought some seasonings, a bottle of vinegar, a bottle of cooking wine, and some star anise leaves.
Apart from seasonings, nothing else was purchased.
I don’t have any money in my pocket, so I can’t spend it lavishly.
When you make money later, you can buy whatever you want.
They both left the supply and marketing cooperative after shopping.
Shen Zhian looked at Zhou Ran and said, "Comrade Zhou Ran, thank you just now for speaking for me."
Zhou Ran waved his hand, "You're welcome, I can't stand the way those salesmen look down on people."
To put it bluntly, isn't he just a salesperson?
Civil servants still need to serve the people. Where does her sense of superiority and pride come from?
She was not used to other people being silent and being used to them.
Shen Zhian had a faint smile on his lips, and then suggested, "Shall I treat you to dinner? Let's go to a state-owned restaurant for a meal?"
Having earned money today, Shen Zhian had the conditions to treat Zhou Ran to a meal.
But Zhou Ran quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, it's too expensive to eat in state-owned restaurants. We don't need to spend such money."
"It's okay, I'm treating you."
"It's even more difficult for you to go to the countryside. How can I let you treat me to a meal? Besides, it's really not cost-effective to eat in a state-owned restaurant."
Zhou Ran is very familiar with Shen Zhian's situation and knows that Shen Zhian's life is not easy.
He just has money, so he should keep it and spend it slowly.
However, Zhou Ran was quite happy that the boss took the initiative to treat her to dinner.
This shows that the boss really regards her as a friend, otherwise he would not be willing to spend this money.
Thinking this way, Zhou Ran felt even happier.
Seeing that Zhou Ran insisted on refusing to invite him, Shen Zhian had no choice but to give up.
The two went to the place where the tractor was parked. After getting on the tractor, they waited for everyone to arrive and set off back to the production team together.
The journey back was bumpy again.
Fortunately, Zhou Ran didn't eat much, otherwise if he ate too much, the contents of his stomach would definitely be knocked out.
By the time we arrived at the production team, it was already past twelve o'clock. By this time, the Zhou family had already had dinner.
But Zhou Ran knew that her family would definitely leave food for her.
Even if it doesn't work, it won't take long to go back and cook something to eat again.
Zhou Ran said to Shen Zhi'an, "Shen Zhiqing, you can go to my house for lunch, so you don't have to go back to Zhiqing's place to cook."
Shen Zhian hesitated, "I'd better go back and eat by myself."
Okay, it's not always good to go to someone else's house to eat.
Food is expensive these days, so which company doesn’t stick to food?
He was invited politely, but he couldn't take it seriously.
Zhou Ran said, "Well, Shen Zhiqing, I actually want to treat you to a meal and ask you to do something."
Shen Zhian raised his eyebrows, "What are you going to ask me to do for you? I won't refuse if I can do it."
Zhou Ran scratched his head and said, "Well, it's nothing. I just want you to accompany me into the mountains if you have time in the afternoon."
The last time Zhou Ran went into the mountain, he didn't go deep, mainly because he didn't dare to take risks.
After all, there are many wild animals on the mountain, who knows if it will cause any trouble.
If she encounters any ferocious beast, she won't be able to deal with it.
She knew that Shen Zhian was very skilled.
She remembered a plot in the original work, where the heroine Xu Jingya encountered a wild boar and was rescued by Shen Zhian.
Shen Zhian killed a wild boar with his bare hands, so you can imagine how powerful he was.
With such a person accompanying her up the mountain and some self-defense tools, everything would be much safer.
After entering the mountain, Zhou Ran wanted to verify whether he also had the luck of koi carp.
It would be great if we could get some game or some rare medicinal materials.
What does Shen Zhian think it is?
In fact, Zhou Ran didn't mention it, but he also planned to go into the mountains today.
Since she wanted to go, it wouldn't be a big deal to accompany her.
Shen Zhian nodded, "That's no problem, I'll go with you.
But forget about asking for dinner, I’ll go back and eat by myself.”
Zhou Ran still insisted on inviting Shen Zhian to dinner, but Shen Zhian couldn't bear it, so he had to agree to go to Zhou's house.
On the way, Zhou Ran also asked Shen Zhian not to tell the Zhou family about her going into the mountains, so as not to worry them.
Shen Zhian complied with Zhou Ran's request.
After a while, they arrived at Zhou's house.
Seeing Zhou Ran come back, He Chunhua smiled and thanked Shen Zhian, "Shen Zhiqing, thank you so much for helping take care of our family, Ranran."
Shen Zhian said, "Aunt, you're welcome."
He Chunhua asked warmly again, "You haven't had lunch yet, so hurry up and sit in the room while I heat up the food."
Wang Xiaoping was in charge of the cooking at noon today, so the taste of the food was just okay. Of course, it was far inferior to Zhou Ran's cooking skills.
Before the fish he got last time was finished, Wang Xiaoping cooked a pot of black fish soup at noon, leaving a lot of fish meat for Zhou Ran.
In addition, there was a plate of fried shredded potatoes, a plate of lettuce, and a plate of sauerkraut.
With fish and fish soup, this kind of food is not shabby.
