The next day, Liu Da and Li Xiangyang woke up bright and early. They carried the goods to the guest room where Lin Lan was staying, bundled everything up securely, and then went downstairs to eat.
Liu Da ordered peanut and pork bone congee, shumai, and large steamed buns. Lin Lan took out the mushroom sauce and fermented bean curd they had brought along, and the three of them enjoyed a comfortable breakfast.
Liu Da said to Li Xiangyang, "We're going to the warehouse. Lin Lan will stay here. When Hongjun gets here, tell him to drive to the warehouse."
Lin Lan readily nodded. "Okay, you two go on ahead. I'll wait for Hongjun and his men here."
Liu Da and Li Xiangyang got up and headed for the main entrance. After a moment's thought, Li Xiangyang turned back and added worriedly to Lin Lan, "Little Lan, we won't be back until this afternoon. If you get hungry, just go downstairs and get something to eat."
