When Qin Lan returned with his team, Uncle Ding was already waiting at the door of the private storeroom.
Seeing Qin Lan and the others return with vegetables, he finally nodded to Qin Lan and said, "Xiao Qin, good job. No troubles on the road?"
"Thank you for your concern, Captain. There were no issues along the way. These are the 400 pounds of vegetables exchanged from Chen Xin, 200 pounds of cabbage, and 200 pounds of lettuce. The rest will be delivered to us after his harvest next month." Qin Lan saluted Uncle Ding before reporting on the exchange.
Uncle Ding looked at the vegetables brought back, nodded with satisfaction, and signaled for them to be placed in the private storeroom. He then said to Qin Lan, "Xiao Qin, come with me; I have some matters to ask you about."
Qin Lan nodded, asking no questions, and followed Uncle Ding through the corridor to the meeting room.
