Chapter Ninety-Eight: If Ginseng Has Generation
After some politeness, Shui Yao knew the other party's intention: it turned out that since the last time he told Lin Baichuan about ginseng, the other party has been worried about it, and he has been paying attention to finding a buyer for Shui Yao, but some time ago, Shui Yao has been busy taking care of Shui Daquan's affairs, and he has no time to go to the black market.
Thinking that he had put the ginseng in it before going to bed last night, Shui Yao was very happy. Originally, this ginseng was originally intended to be used by Shui Yao to supplement his father's body, but this time he took this opportunity to exchange for some money and tickets.
Looking at Lin Baichuan in front of him, a trace of tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed, and Shui Yao suddenly felt a little unreasonable.
"Comrade Baichuan, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long, but some time ago, there was something at home that was dealt with. I wonder what kind of buyer you have found this time? ”
After Lin Baichuan heard this, he didn't say anything, but nodded lightly and pointed to the mouth of the alley.
"That's it, it's not convenient for us to talk here, I see that the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel is not far from here, if you can trust me, let's go over there and discuss it carefully."
This Lin Baichuan has always been cautious, and since the last time Shui Yao made that deal with him, he has a spectrum in his heart. Besides, ginseng is a rare thing, even after a few decades, it is a luxury, and not everyone can afford it. Therefore, Shui Yao deduced that the buyer this time was definitely not an ordinary person.
After the two arrived at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel, Lin Baichuan took the lead and asked for two bowls of noodles, and then thoughtfully ordered two bottles of Arctic Ocean.
"That's right, I have a friend in the printing house, his old mother is old, sick, very weak, and in urgent need of something to eat. Isn't that the last time you told me that you wanted to find a buyer for the ginseng you had? Don't know if your stuff is still in your hands right now? ”
As soon as Shui Yao heard it, he figured out a taste. Although she has this thing with her, there is a way to do business, if the other party mentions it, she will immediately offer it, and it will naturally not sell at a good price.
I couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Shui Yao thought about it, and I didn't panic, and said with a slight smile: "Comrade Baichuan, thank you really for bothering." I don't know if the other party has any requirements for ginseng? Besides, we've only met once, so you're so relieved of me, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you fakes? ”
After Shui Yao finished speaking, he took a big sip of soda, it was cold and cold, and after walking for a long time, the sweat on his body was diluted all of a sudden.
"You little girl, you're not very old, and you dare to say anything! Although my Lao Lin has no skills, he has been working in the printing house for more than ten years, and he still has the vision of people. If you're really the person you say you are, don't talk about it this time, we might not be able to do business last time! ”
Speaking of this, Lin Baichuan paused: "As for this buyer, don't worry, I can guarantee my personality, if the business is done at that time, I will definitely pay for every penny, as long as you have a good thing, the price will naturally not treat you badly."
As soon as Shui Yao's words came out, Lin Baichuan heard the concerns in her heart, but the people above him were really urging him, and they had already opened up to him, no matter how much money they had, they must buy things, or they wouldn't have been squatting in this unsightly place on the black market for several days in a row.
With Lin Baichuan's guarantee, Shui Yao is not ambiguous, it seems that this time there is a good chance that the ginseng can be sold at a good price, but at the moment, Shui Yao doesn't particularly care about how much money it can be sold, and what makes her most curious at this time is the person who buys the ginseng behind Lin Baichuan.
Looking at the sincerity on Lin Baichuan's face, Shui Yao quietly pointed to the small basket beside him and tentatively said: "Comrade Li, I won't tell you, this time I really let you touch it, right now, this ginseng is really in my basket, but in line with the principle of honest trading, I think I have to let the other party see the quality of this ginseng before deciding to make a move, although you are an intermediary, but what you really need is not the buyer behind it?" The most important thing is that he looks good. Otherwise, wouldn't my Shui Yao become a boastful seller of Wang Po's melons? ”
Shui Yao's words were reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant, which made Lin Baichuan very appreciative. In fact, he also had the intention of bringing Shui Yao over to meet the other party, thought about it for a while, and opened his mouth to discuss it with Shui Yao.
"Comrade Shui Yao, I'm afraid this point is not good at the moment. Now you know that this printing shop is on duty, can you wait a little longer, and when the work over there is over, I will take you there? ”
When Shui Yao heard this, he was overjoyed, but thinking about his rice tank that was about to see the bottom, he still opened his mouth directly, and his words were a little embarrassed.
"Comrade Baichuan, after these two incidents, we can be regarded as friends. In that case, I won't hide it for you. The last time I remember when we made a transaction, we negotiated the price in advance, and you gave it all in cash. I wonder if I can exchange some of them for tickets this time? ”
Lin Baichuan was not surprised at all by Shui Yao's request, after all, no matter what kind of ticket it was, it was priceless now. According to his observations on the black market in the past two days, he found that those who sold grain were all farmers living in nearby villages, and they were thrifty, and finally squeezed out the walnuts and dates from between their teeth, and in order to live a better life, they took the saved rations to the black market and sold them for some money and tickets, but even if they didn't have much money on them, as long as the buyers could give more tickets, they could still buy more grain.
Looking at Shui Yao's appearance now, Lin Baichuan pondered that there shouldn't be much food left in their family, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out half a catty of food stamps directly from his pocket and handed it over, comforting Yun lightly.
"You take these food stamps and use them first, I am in a hurry this time, and I don't have so many on me. But don't worry, even if there are many people in the family, these can be replaced with coarse grains, which can be slightly topped for a day or two to solve the urgent need. If you want something else, such as sugar stamps, cloth stamps or industrial coupons, if your ginseng is good, you will definitely be able to exchange a lot of it for you. ”
Looking at the food stamps in front of him, Shui Yao didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but directly put the basket in his hand on the table, lifted the white cloth on it, and a ginseng about fifteen centimeters wide and as thick as his wrist suddenly made Lin Baichuan tremble. After a short period of amazement, at this time, Lin Baichuan's face was more obviously wary, and when he spoke to Shui Yao, even his voice became cold.
"Tell me, where did this life come from? It's been a while, and you're afraid you can't get such a good thing, right? You can go to the black market to do business, you tell me the truth, did you use some extraordinary means to cheat and abduct from others? If you can't explain the source of this ginseng to me today, there is a police station not far away, and I don't think you want to go in prison and eat food! ”
Lin Baichuan's words can be said to be half of his face for Shui Yao, which makes her, who is drinking soda, have every reason to believe that what the man in front of her said is true, don't look at this second is sitting and eating with you, I can't say that in the next moment, the whole person will be handcuffed by him.
Ask yourself, although Lin Baichuan is upright, he doesn't have an appetite for Shui Yao at this moment, after all, if he is honest and honest too much, it is no different from pedantic. But Shui Yao is Shui Yao after all, there are strong winds and waves, I don't know how many times I have been crawling in the rain and fog, even if there is a knife on her neck now, Shui Yao will not be half a point flustered because of this, not for anything else, the people of their old Shui family have been doing right and sitting upright all their lives.
"Yo, I haven't said anything yet, I didn't expect you to be able to hold back so soon? Comrade Baichuan, in any case, I hope you will pay attention to your words. I don't want to say anything else, I have always done things worthy of my conscience, if the things I sold are not clean, I will not be at ease in my life. ”
"As you just said, it's not the first time we've met, that kind of cheating and abduction is not visible, have I done it, I don't think you should have any say, right? Although you are older than me, I still put my words ahead today, and sometimes what I see is not necessarily true. So, Comrade Lin, think twice before you act! ”
"Again, we must follow the rules of the business field when doing business, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said, whether the business can be done or not, it's all up to you and me. But look at your appearance, there is a chance that our business will not be able to succeed today, where did this thing come from, I have no obligation to tell you, if you don't want to make this deal with me, then let's stop it, and this meal will be credited to my account. ”
After speaking, Shui Yao lifted the basket, covered the white cloth again, and left the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Hotel without looking back. Lin Baichuan saw that he was in a hurry, and before he could say a word, he actually made the other party angry and left, if he messed up the matter this time because of his own suspicion, he would definitely have to pick his own skin.
Moreover, looking at the quality of ginseng, it is really a rare treasure in a hundred years. It is estimated that even the ginseng soaked in the small wine jar in the office of the leader of their unit cannot be compared with this one, if the ginseng has a generation, I am afraid that the one in the office is not qualified to be the great-grandson in the water basket! Seeing that Shui Yao was gone, Lin Baichuan couldn't take care of it, and hurriedly chased him out.
