Chapter 2003: So It Was You Last Night

Shu Yu nodded in agreement. It was true; people who traveled and worked in cargo transportation while away from home were mostly men.

These individuals weren't known for enjoying exquisite and delicious meals. In fact, many of them didn't even know how to cook. They stayed on ships for one or two months at a time, and aside from the occasional good meal when the ship docked, their daily diet was quite basic.

Even if there were cooks and kitchens on board some ships, the meals were still quite simple, just enough to get by.

Instant noodles had one significant advantage: anyone could prepare them. All you needed was a pot of boiling water. If these people wanted something a bit better, they could add an egg or a sausage.

So, it was a wise choice for Da Niu and the others to go to the port to find potential customers.

Da Zhuang said, ''Actually, some people at the port had already tried our instant noodles. After all, they have been to many places, so finding our products in other areas is normal. However, many others still don't know about it, so we took some samples and borrowed bowls and hot water from people nearby to let everyone have a taste.''

It was in the evening, and many ships were planning to depart the next day.

So, at that time, it was quite lively, with many people gathered around. The instant noodles were delicious and could be eaten soaked, boiled, or even raw. They quickly gained praise from the crowd.

At the time, several cargo managers were very interested and left their inn addresses, saying they would discuss orders with them after some deliberation.

Suddenly, Da Bao, who was following behind, slapped his thigh. ''So, the commotion at the port yesterday was all because of you guys?''

Shu Yu and Da Zhuang turned around at the same time. Shu Rui explained, ''Yesterday evening, didn't we go to the port to take a look? At that time, there was a large group of people gathered there, discussing some business. We originally wanted to go in and take a look, but there were too many people, and it was getting late. We were afraid it would take too long, and we didn't want you to worry, so we didn't join the crowd.''

Da Bao slapped his thigh again. ''Blame these two for holding me back. I was about to squeeze in myself. If they hadn't stopped me, we could have met last night.''

Shu Rui and Er Niu twitched their lips. Come on, with his size, he struggled for a long time and only managed to squeeze in two people, and then he was squeezed out again.

Moreover, most of the people at the port were tough sailors, tall and burly. When Da Bao tried to push them aside, one stern look from them scared him into not daring to move.

They didn't want any trouble, especially for something like this that wasn't necessary to see.

As they chatted, they had already arrived at the inn's entrance.

At this moment, Da Niu happened to be sitting in the lobby, having breakfast. Yuan Gui was sitting at the same table.

It seemed that Da Niu had told him about forming the convoy, so both of them came together for the delivery.

When they saw Shu Yu, both of them were quite surprised.

''Ah Yu, what are you doing here?''

''I'm on my way back home, and I just happened to pass by and saw Da Zhuang.''

Da Niu smiled, ''What a coincidence, to run into each other like this.'' He reached out and patted Er Niu's head. ''I didn't even get to see you last time I came by. It's been a few months, and you look like you've grown taller.''

''Brother, I've gained a lot of knowledge too,'' Er Niu excitedly replied.

After some more chatting, Da Niu said, ''Yesterday, I made an appointment with several managers at the port, and they said they'd come around the end of the hour today. Since you're here, do you want to meet them with us?''

''Alright.''

As soon as Da Niu finished speaking, a few familiar faces walked in from outside."
