Chapter 26: Cordyceps

Above the sky, a faint cloud streaked silently, leaving no trace.

In the clouds and mist, Zhao Qiwu had chicken legs in one hand, steamed buns in the other, and a cucumber and a space cup filled with water were placed next to him.

When the cucumber was not yet on the market, he bought it in the capital, and it was a greenhouse vegetable.

The water in the space cup was still soaked in the willow leaves made at home, and he felt that he was working so hard every day, and he was afraid of getting on fire - although he had the broken plate and started to recite the mantra, he had never been on fire, but what his mother gave him had to use.

Because he was afraid of being late for school, in the past two months, as long as he had the opportunity to run a business, he would eat on the clouds to save time.

On the tricycle next to him was a cart of bananas, the goods he was ready to sell.

Throughout the solar calendar from March to mid-April, Zhao Qiwu has had a hard time for more than a month.

The main thing is to explore new business outlets, although it is already profitable for him to transport fruits from the south to the north, but he also wants to find new sources and sales places.

To be honest, the experience of more than a month made him not very much want to go to the capital to sell things.

You can sell anything you can send, but you're too shrewd. He was afraid that people would be suspicious if he often looked for a place to sell things, so he often changed places. Then I found that there are more shrewd people here.

Obviously, their prices are lower than others, but some people probably think that they are too young, or they see that they are in a hurry to go back to class, so they continue to lower the price.

He is not very good at bargaining, but it is inevitable that he will have to distinguish a few words if he is too ruthless, or directly change customers, which is troublesome.

Relatively speaking, it is much better to go to the western Xinjiang side, where the supply of goods is small, and their prices are lower than elsewhere, they are all rushing to ask for it, and no one is bargaining at all.

This is probably the supply and demand relationship of learning in the classroom, Zhao Qiwu applies what he has learned, and when he has nothing to do, he will fool around these by himself.

The money must be earned, but unfortunately not every day can run business, this month is far less than the ten days before the New Year, only earned more than 50,000 yuan - most of them still use the weekend to go to the western Xinjiang to earn.

It's also tiring, and it's hard.

It was not only the money that he gained, but also the opportunity to practice his Mandarin. He doesn't know if it's good or not, anyway, when he talks to people in the vegetable market, everyone can understand it!

But he still didn't want to go to the capital, so he went to the southwest of the province of Xisa.

Because this weekend, he only went home last week, and this week he excused himself for the mid-term exam and didn't go back.

It is closer to Xisar Province from Sanhe Town than to Xijiang Province, and the traffic in Xisar Province is not as good as that of Xijiang Province, there are no trains here now, only roads, and the road conditions are also very average.

The key is that Zhao Qiwu actually saw it in the sky, and some places were still white, so he deliberately fell down and looked at it, it was snow.

At that time, he felt that if he went to such a place, things would definitely sell well.

......

When he arrived at the place, Zhao Qiwu regretted a little, can he sell his own bananas in this place?

It's the provincial capital anyway, but Zhao Qiwu feels that the houses here are similar to those in Shuiqing County, and many people are not as good as in Shuiqing County.

Some of the houses are painted with white plaster, which looks a little better, and more are gray blue brick buildings. Before entering the city just now, I saw some stone houses outside.

In the city, it was better, and Zhao Qiwu also saw people holding cameras to take pictures of those old houses and people in tattered robes.

The people were dressed in a variety of clothes, a few of the sect members with their arms exposed, and some of them wore thick cotton jackets. The woman who took pictures was not afraid of the cold, she was actually wearing a suit and a short skirt, and half of her white thighs were exposed.

There are also a lot of people selling things on the street, maybe they didn't find the right place, and most of the things sold here are beads and other things on the stalls.

There was a large stall propped up on wheels, which looked like a board cart but served as a shelf, and it was divided into many compartments, selling walnuts, raisins, dates, and some dried fruits that Zhao Qiwu didn't recognize.

There are not many cars, there are big buses that I don't know if they are long-distance buses or buses, and there are also green jeeps that Zhao Qiwu has practiced.

Zhao Qiwu didn't know if there was management here, anyway, he stopped when he found a place with a lot of people, and prepared to try sell.

After I stopped, I felt that something was wrong, and it didn't seem like I was parking.

Behind him, there was a small door in the big blue brick house, and a white sign hung on the door, which read in two languages: 'Barkhor Clinic, Second People's Hospital of Xisa Autonomous Region'.

The black minority script, the red one is the Chinese character.

On one side of the door, there is also a vertical wooden sign with narrow dots, white and black, which is also two kinds of hospitals, and reads 'Outpatient Department of the Second People's Hospital of the Autonomous Region'.

Now Zhao Qiwu is standing in front of the vertical sign, and the tricycle blocks the door of the house.

Quickly push the point away, carefully wait to see if anyone comes to catch up with him, and wait for a while to see that there is no one, then he is relieved.

At this moment, someone was already asking the price in something he didn't understand.

Zhao Qiwu's face is not plateau red, and he is dressed differently from the people here, so it is easy for people to see that he is an outsider. Therefore, people speak in Mandarin as much as possible.

It's a pity that it's not standard, and it's not easy for people to understand the same Mandarin he spoke in Sanhe Town when he first went to Xijiang.

Zhao Qiwu didn't inquire about the price of fruits here, and he didn't know how much it was sold for, so after thinking about it, he simply stretched out three fingers: "Three yuan, three yuan!"

Then the man took a large bunch of bananas and motioned for him to weigh them.

Then pay him.

After making a single business, Zhao Qiwu knew that this price was definitely not expensive here.

Because some obviously didn't plan to buy, just looked at it, and as soon as he asked the price, he couldn't help but start buying - other Zhao Qiwu couldn't see it, but he didn't plan to buy it and asked the price, he often did it himself, and he was quite experienced.

In fact, his worries were unnecessary, because the bananas on the tricycle were really not much.

Before he could regret that the price was too cheap, everything was sold out, and even the woman with the camera came to buy some and wanted to take pictures of him, of course he refused, and the woman was not reluctant.

It's still early to sell out, and he's going to go around here.

......

Before he left, a guy who was setting up a stall next to him and had been staring at him asked him, "Are you a businessman from out of town?"

The young man's face was dirty, and he was wearing a local robe, but it was just as dirty. On a tattered cloth that had faded underfoot, there was a pile of things that looked like dried silkworms.

Zhao Qiwu is not familiar with this place, and he can't tell his age by looking at his face, but listening to the voice, this guy shouldn't be very old, and it can be seen that he asked this sentence, and he also mustered up the courage to ask.

Facing a young man who felt younger than his age, Zhao Qiwu was bold and dared to say: "Yes, I came from far away." Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Do you accept cordyceps?" said the young man a little shyly, he already spoke with a strong accent, which was even more difficult to understand.

"Cordyceps?" Zhao Qiwu had never heard of. "What is this?"

"It's a medicinal herb. The young man saw that he hadn't even heard of it, and he knew that this business was going to be ruined, and he was a little disappointed.

As soon as he talked about medicinal materials, Zhao Qiwu reacted: "Are you talking about Cordyceps?"

He didn't expect this at first, there was an introduction in the textbook before, and he remembered that there was a picture on it. It's just that I suddenly saw the real thing, and I didn't think about it together.

"Yes. The boy nodded.

"Doesn't this hospital accept medicinal herbs?" Zhao Qiwu pointed to the clinic behind him.

"If you can't collect that much, you won't collect it when you have enough. The young man said.

"Oh!" Zhao Qiwu understood, and then asked curiously: "This thing is very famous, and the price is very expensive, right?"

"Yes, I heard that there used to be a big businessman who came to collect it, and it was five cents a piece!" Speaking of the price, the young man came to his senses.

"Just such a small ......" Zhao Qiwu looked at the cordyceps on the ground and sighed.

"Little brother, if you have a way, take these away, and you won't lose money. I don't know when, a middle-aged woman came out of the clinic and said to Zhao Qiwu. "It's going to cost a lot when this thing is shipped out. ”

"I don't have a place to sell it when I ship it out! Besides, it's too expensive!" Zhao Qiwu said casually.

"It's not expensive, he's very good Cordyceps. The middle-aged woman said. "Really good, it's expensive outside. This kind of particularly good, which many rich people like, will definitely be accepted by big pharmacies. ”

It seems that she doesn't know much, only saying that it is very expensive outside, and she insists that it is a good cordyceps.

Zhao Qiwu suddenly hesitated.
