"Let's go, go to the train station!" Qu Guangquan picked up Huang Xindong and ran.

"Hey, Qu Guangquan, we haven't had breakfast yet, let's talk about it after breakfast. "Huang Xindong slipped around a lot, and he was already hungry!

"The train to Lucheng at nine-ten, we have to catch it anyway. Qu Guangquan ran away.

Huang Xindong had no choice but to follow, and asked eagerly: "What are we going to Lucheng for, and we are not officials, what is the matter with going to the provincial capital?"

"Get in the car and talk about it!" Qu Guangquan ignored.

Not to mention, the exercise in the past few days has obviously had an effect, running to the train station without walls, and seeing the train that departs in 15 minutes, Qu Guangquan behaved better than Huang Xindong, who has always been happy with his physique: Huang Xindong was out of breath, and Qu Guangquan was calm.

The conductor who made up the ticket stood on the empty platform, at that time Qiaozhou people went to the provincial capital Lucheng, few people went to the station window to buy tickets, they all made up the tickets on the platform before departure, and the seats on the train were generally not satisfied, and the fare supplement fee was not charged.

"Buy two tickets to Hairpin City. Qu Guangquan took out 10 yuan.

"Hairpin City, 3.5 yuan for one person, 7 yuan for two people, 3 yuan for you, this is a ticket. The handy ticket was handed over immediately.

"Buns, Chaos, do you have anything to buy, if you don't, go down!" At that time, the familiar snack sellers at the station would only jump off the train when they drove.

"Bring me two portions of chaos and ten buns" Qu Guangquan pulled Huang Xindong on the train.

While eating steamed buns and drinking chaos, Huang Xindong felt his strength rise and fall. "Qu Guangquan, now you can tell me what you want to do. Where is the hairpin city, what are we going to do?"

"I heard from one of my classmates that the medicinal herb purchasing station in Hairpin City has a large number of medicinal herbs! "Qu Guangquan is right, I heard what my classmates said, but this classmate is Huang Xindong, and it's a pity that he said it in his previous life - Huang Xindong's uncle made a lot of money when he bought goods in Hairpin City.

"Hairpin City doesn't belong to our Qiaozhou, it seems to belong to Huaibei? Do you have classmates over there?" Huang Xindong was surprised.

"We are an Olympiad, there are many good grades, and there are a lot of people from other places, just say me, isn't it not from Qiaozhou, and it is reported that we Huai No. 1 Middle School, don't you still go in." "Qu Guangquan is a perfunctory good friend, knowing that this is an honest man, he will believe whatever you say.

Sure enough, Huang Xindong looked admiring: "Yes, your class is too good! I'll just say that you Qu Guangquan is definitely the person I envy the most!"

2 hours of train, 11:15, two people get off, along the Huaida town hairpin city is in front of you.

The hairpin city is located on the bank of Huai HB, several low hills set off the rare undulating landform of the Huaibei Plain, the soil layer is deep, loose and fertile, moist, well drained, and the history of planting eucommia can be traced back to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

On both sides of the road leading from the train station to the town, eucommia trees can be found everywhere. "Huang Xindong, do you know what this tree is called?"

"Don't you know?" Huang Xindong really didn't know that the tree in front of him was Eucommia ulmoides, which had risen in price and gone crazy.

"Eucommia!" Qu Guangquan pulled Huang Xindong to him, "Look at this skin, is it the eucommia peel you often sell?"

"Really!" Huang Xindong immediately exclaimed: "Qu Guangquan, you are too godly!"

"Speed up, hurry up and go to the town's supply and marketing cooperatives acquisition station!" Qu Guangquan ran up again.

After finishing my errands today, I have to go back to Qiaozhou in the evening, and I have to go to class tomorrow.

Hairpin City Supply and Marketing Cooperatives are in the middle of Hairpin Town Street, a long row of facades opened a gate in the middle, and several signs were hung on the gate, one of which is "Hairpin City Supply and Marketing Cooperatives Acquisition Station." ”

Entering the compound, there were four doorways in a row, Qu Guangquan inquired, the innermost one was the acquisition station, and he walked in with his feet raised.

The place of the acquisition station is really not small, the townhouse is three large warehouses, in front of the large warehouse are several offices, each office is empty, but it is written "stationmaster's room", four people in the room are playing poker, and there are lively people in the outer circle. Everyone who played cards had a note on their face, but some posted more and some posted less.

Qu Guangquan straightened his clothes, tried to make himself look more mature, and knocked on the door: "Comrade, is our stationmaster here?"

"What's the matter?" the one with the least note put down the poker in his hand and stared at Qu Guangquan.

"Well, I'm passing through. I heard that our purchasing station is going to sell Du Zhong, let me take a look. Qu Guang remained silent.

"I don't know your accent is from our hairpin city, who did you listen to?" It seems that it is the stationmaster, and as soon as he speaks, the others are silent.

"I'm from Qiaozhou, I came here to visit relatives, and when I was eating on the street, I heard from people. Qu Guangquan knew that in this era, there were so many eucommia ulmoides stored in the Hairpin City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and he must be in a hurry to sell them, and he would not stare at how the news spread.

Sure enough, the stationmaster stood up, "Xiao Wang, the key to Okura is with you, let these two young people take a look." ”

A woman with long braids stood up, with a pink face that looked quite peugeot, and picked up a long set of keys, "Let's go, I'll show you." ”

Huang Xindong almost jumped up happily, and Qu Guangquan patted Huang Xindong on the shoulder: "What, if you don't buy it, let's take a look." ”

Huang Xindong is still a little clever: "We're here to visit relatives, don't think about what's going on!"

The stationmaster's face was immediately a little displeased, but he was still a city government and didn't show it. But the rest of the room stared, and kept their eyes until the Okura door was opened.

The warehouse is very high, and the ventilation and lighting are very good, but the medicinal materials inside are piled up in a variety of ways.

Qu Guangquan saw at a glance the Eucommia ulmoides yard behind the warehouse, and the neat woven bags were stacked on top of each other on the beams.

"Look, these eucommia are of the best quality, you see, the skin is very thick, and it's all the skin of the trunk, we don't harvest the skin of the branches. "Xiao Wang flicked his braids, it looked good.

Tearing open the mouth of a packaging bag, Qu Guangquan couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, good goods!

In the tide of the market economy in later generations, the state-run purchasing stations did not exist, and the private purchasing stations were mixed with all the goods.

Huang Xindong couldn't bear it anymore, for fear that Qu Guang wouldn't understand it and keep making his eyes!

Fool, this thing is so clear, and it needs to be done so obviously. Qu Guangquan glared at Huang Xindong: "You want to go home again?"

"I, I。。。。。。 Huang Xindong hurriedly looked at it again, that means, the goods are so good, you have to buy them no matter what.

Qu Guangquan finally understood the reason why Huang Xindong had always been able to be used as a laborer in the previous life, ignored Huang Xindong anymore, stood up and walked out.

"Hey, you, you want to buy Eucommia, and you have opened a position for you, you can leave without saying a word, and take us to make fun of us, right?" The long braid was a little emotional, obviously seeing that Huang Xindong wanted to buy it, okay, you don't want to be in charge.

"I didn't say buy it, I didn't say no. Qu Guangquan's expression was calm, and he couldn't see any thoughts: "The key is what price you can sell, if it's cheap, buy it, if it's not cheap, forget it." ”

"We are a state-run purchasing station, and buying and selling are the price of the state!" said the long pigtail, full of pride.

Qu Guangquan heard that there was a door, as long as there was a price set by the state in that era, it was an ultra-low price!

"Then there has to be a price, right?" Qu Guangquan continued to walk forward.

"Stationmaster. Long pigtails stood at the door of the stationmaster's room and shouted, "These two people asked us what price can we sell Du Zhong?"

"How much can you give? If you want less, we won't sell how much money you give, it's not enough trouble!" After all, the stationmaster is the stationmaster, and he will not take the initiative to show his hole cards, the leader has held many meetings, and the supply and marketing cooperatives want to contract, and these two people are not sent by the superiors, how can they still sell according to the country's card price, the more expensive they sell, of course, the better.

"We just look at it, buy it if it's suitable, don't buy it if it's not suitable, if we want, it's really not enough for us. This year, our company has set an export contract of 3,000 tons alone. Qu Guangquan said lightly.

"Stationmaster. A head reached into the stationmaster's ear and muttered for a few minutes.

The stationmaster raised his head and looked at Qu Guangquan, "That's it, I'll listen to your offer first." ”

Qu Guangquan knew that the purchase point of the supply and marketing cooperatives was definitely collected in accordance with the national standards, and the state-run at this time was of course the standard set by the state, so how much?

Huang Xindong said that the original Eucommia was sold for 2.2 yuan, which added the purchase cost, and it also had to make a little profit, even if the purchase price rose later, but the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside were the old man's yamen, how could it be because of the market price increase to the farmers to raise the price, if the price is not lowered enough, it is enough to be righteous, that is to say, it will not exceed 2 yuan.

"We want it, up to 2 yuan a kilogram. Qu Guangquan took out a look of whether he could buy it or not.

"2 yuan a kilogram, we definitely don't sell it! I heard people say that the price of eucommia has risen. "The stationmaster's head is shaking like a rattle.

"The price rises, when will the price of Eucommia be raised?" The long braid did not believe that the country's card price could rise casually.

"The arrangement of the price increase is not allowed to be passed on, so I did not hold a meeting for everyone. The stationmaster smacked his face, "2 yuan a kilogram is impossible." ”

"Then how much do you want a kilogram?" Huang Xindong couldn't hold his breath.

"How much is a kilogram, the key depends on how you bid?"

"Then since they don't want to sell, let's go. Qu Guangquan put up his shelf and was about to leave.

Huang Xindong couldn't take a step. "Qu Guangquan, why don't you give them more?"

Qu Guangquan shook his head: "How much to add, plus five cents, is it still beneficial to go home?"

"Young man, don't think I don't know the price, I heard that Eucommia has more than doubled!"

Qu Guangquan smiled darkly, passed a message to the stationmaster with his eyes, and said loudly: "Huang Xindong, I see that there is a restaurant opposite the supply and marketing cooperative, let's go eat first." ”

Huang Xindong was unwilling, but he was still dragged away by Qu Guangquan.
