Chapter 51: Sixty Mother-in-law (28)
When Jiang Xiaoman heard it, five hundred yuan!
According to the current price, this 500 yuan is really a lot.
You must know that it is only 60 years now, and this month's salary is only twenty or thirty yuan.
That's on top of two years' income for an average worker's family.
According to the current grain prices, it will not be a problem to eat until the autumn harvest.
"Xiao Wang, this hundred-year-old ginseng is not easy to find. Generally, it is difficult to find, this kind of ginseng has to be found in the deep mountains and old forests, it is easy to encounter wild beasts, bears, tigers or something, ordinary people can't do this job. ”
Jiang Xiaoman didn't plan not to make a counteroffer.
When she was a teacher, she bought a spirit pill, she wanted to buy a spirit sword, and if she bought any magic weapon, she didn't have to spend spirit stones.
She still knows about this bargaining.
Wang Mei was obedient and listened, and immediately understood that this old lady might not have a hundred years of ginseng in her hand, and people just felt that this price was not suitable.
She was immediately happy, and she also knew that the price she offered was slightly cheaper than the one on the market.
If you really go to the pharmacy to buy it, this hundred years of ginseng will cost more than 1,000 yuan.
I'm not a ghost, I think the old lady is from the countryside, and she must have never seen the world.
In terms of price, I naturally want to keep it a little lower.
I didn't expect the old lady to be so shrewd.
"Auntie, this price is not low, I also watch the ginseng picking so hard, otherwise, I will add some more to you, I will make my own decisions, and I will add another hundred yuan to you from my own side, how about six hundred yuan?" That's a lot of money. ”
Wang Mei was anxious, but she couldn't ask for a price from Jiang Xiaoman.
"Auntie, although you go to the pharmacy, the price sold in the pharmacy is quite high, but that is the selling price, the price charged, the specified price cannot be as high as the selling price, I am also telling you the truth.
If you don't believe it, go to the pharmacy and ask, they won't be able to give you such a high price if they do. ”
Wang Mei persuaded her bitterly, and she could see that the old lady must have the goods in her hands.
"Xiao Wang, it's useless for me to just ask for this money, I mainly want to buy food. As you know, this year is a disaster year, and the surrounding villages have no harvest, and now every household has no food. If the family is really hungry and can't do it, they can't take out such a good thing.
These are some of the family funds that my old man saved up in the mountains back then, and I was expecting to be old, in case there is something good or bad, it can come in handy. It's not true, it's because the children in the family are hungry.
I just took this out. I think you are also a sincere person, you kid has a good heart, and you helped us last time. Otherwise, 600 yuan will add 200 catties of national food stamps to me.
If you think so, I'll do it for you. ”
119 reminded her that food stamps were important.
Wang Mei was pleasantly surprised, and she knew that this aunt had goods.
"Auntie, don't say it, just rush at you, and do what you say. Walk! Let's go. It's inconvenient outside, there are many people, and it's not good to be seen, so I'll say you're my aunt outside.
Auntie, let's go home. ”
Affectionately took Jiang Xiaoman's arm and walked out of the office.
"Wang Cheng, Suqin, I'll send my aunt home, and I'll come in a while."
"Okay, director, you go slowly, it's okay, there's no one today. If you have something to do at home, you take a day off. ”
Wang Cheng is especially good at things.
How can you work under the hands of the leader without eyes?
Wang Mei took Jiang Xiaoman back home.
Their home is next to the waterworks dormitory.
brought Jiang Xiaoman to her house, naturally she was afraid that she would be seen by others doing these things outside.
Besides, ginseng is not easy to take out outside.
Wang Mei took Jiang Xiaoman home, and Jiang Xiaoman didn't dodge.
The two of them didn't talk nonsense either.
When he entered the house, Jiang Xiaoman took out the ginseng from his arms.
After a red cloth was opened, there were two ginseng sticks side by side, one large and one small.
Wang Mei's eyes lit up when she saw this ginseng, but she didn't expect the old lady to have two in her hand.
It is clear that the big root must be a century-old ginseng, and she still has this eyesight.
The two of them picked it up and carefully examined it up and down, after all, this is a thing of hundreds of dollars.
"Auntie, this is a fifty-year-old ginseng, I'm afraid you have to sell it, right? Otherwise, sell it to me. As long as the price you offer, I can accept it as long as it is not too outrageous. You don't bother with the two masters. ”
Jiang Xiaoman was also happy.
"Xiao Wang, I can also see that you are a happy person. This ginseng is also sold to you, no matter what, once it is raw and twice cooked, we can be regarded as acquaintances. ”
Jiang Xiaoman also knows Wang Mei's own thoughts.
But no matter what, take what you need.
Wang Mei groaned slightly.
"Auntie, let's do it, I will give you two or two hundred for your fifty years, and you don't feel at a loss, after all, there is still a difference between these fifty years and a hundred years. In addition to the two hundred, I'll add some more tickets to you. I still have a lot of food stamps, cloth stamps and industrial stamps at home, you can take whatever you want. ”
Jiang Xiaoman was very satisfied.
"Okay, so be it."
Wang Mei took out all the money from her family, and took out a total of 800 yuan and 200 catties of food stamps, plus a lot of various tickets.
The two of them are considered to have completed the transaction, Jiang Xiaoman is ready to go to the black market, and the purpose of her coming is of course to buy grain.
Wang Mei looked at the old lady so happily, but she looked down on the old lady in her heart.
The old lady is not the old lady of those small households, she picks the door very much, and picks every penny, so she will have to grind her mouth when the time comes.
"Old lady, your family is not rich at first glance. It's not the same thing that you keep taking out your money to buy food. Otherwise, you always have children at home, and I'll introduce you to a temporary worker.
Although it won't last long, at least you can make some money!
My brother is in the flour mill workshop, and their workshop is now recruiting porters, you see if you have a son in your family, let him do it, and work for a day to count the day's money. I still manage three meals a day, and the food in the canteen is not bad, whether it is good or not, but I am full! ”
Jiang Xiaoman nodded immediately, that's good!
You can't always let your son and daughter eat their old books!
She wanted to do it herself, but it is estimated that the son of the family did not agree with it, and besides, people couldn't let her do it when they saw her as an old lady.
"Xiao Wang, thank you so much. How many temporary workers do you want? ”
"Oh, old lady, you mean you have several sons! is afraid of favoritism and being talked about by his daughter-in-law. Don't worry, we have a lot of temporary workers, at least a dozen.
Generally, flour mills do not recruit outsiders, and even temporary workers take care of the children in the mill. However, my brother is the workshop director, so I should take care of your old people. But when the time comes, you can tell your son, you have to say that we are a relative.
Otherwise, you have to let people have opinions in their hearts. ”
Jiang Xiaoman agreed.
With such a good thing, of course I have to let my two sons go.
After all, if you can't eat enough, there will be all kinds of problems at home, and it's not all because the family has no money to make trouble.
If the family has money and food, who is so poor and tossed!
