Chapter 8 The price of gynostemma is surprisingly high
Lu Tao heard a familiar voice.
Looking up, it was Zhou Lijun standing in front of him.
"Brother Lu, I didn't expect to meet you here, I just wanted to come to Renhetang to buy some of that heart-protecting tea for your parents, and then come to your house!"
"Now this heart-protecting tea is so hot that everyone in the county is rushing to buy it."
Zhou Lijun saw that Lu Tao was so affectionate, so he stepped forward and grabbed Lu Tao's hand and held it tightly, chattering non-stop.
Lu Tao pulled his hand out of Zhou Lijun's hand without a trace, and it always felt a little strange to be pinched by the man.
He asked, "How is your daughter's health?" ”
"Okay, I took her to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, and after the doctor heard it, he said that fortunately you did what kind of first aid method, otherwise my daughter wouldn't have survived the hospital at all, and the ambulance wouldn't have been able to arrive."
"You're my daughter's savior!"
Zhou Lijun was so excited that he was incoherent, and his flushed face seemed to help him express his inner gratitude.
He himself gave birth to a daughter very late because of his career.
So just such a child, naturally as a baby.
If his daughter really left him like this, then he estimated that he would fall into regret and remorse for the rest of his life.
Naturally, his gratitude to Lu Tao for saving his daughter was even stronger.
"Not to get, not to get." Lu Tao smiled: "I can do my best." ”
Zhou Lijun didn't care about Lu Tao's words, and warmly invited Lu Tao in.
"Let's go, go in together, pick up a little tonic for your parents, Renhetang's heart-protecting tea is really famous."
However, as soon as the two arrived at the door, they were stopped by a security guard at the door.
"I'm sorry, this gentleman can't go in."
The security guard said with a serious face, blocking in front of Lu Tao.
"What? Why are you stopping him? Zhou Lijun asked puzzled.
The security guard obviously knew Zhou Lijun: "Boss Zhou, it was ordered by the leader, and this person was not allowed to enter." ”
"Which leader, I'm going to ask ......?"
Zhou Lijun was about to get angry, but was pulled aside by Lu Tao.
He simply told Zhou Lijun what had just happened, and he didn't want to embarrass the security guard.
"You said you had gynostemma?!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Lijun just heard Lu Tao finish speaking, and exclaimed.
The reaction was even more intense than when I saw Lu Tao just now.
Frightened, Lu Tao almost pushed it over, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Mr. Zhou? Is there something wrong? ”
Zhou Lijun hurriedly pulled him aside and said softly: "Do you know, a cousin of mine is doing procurement in Renhetang, I saw him with a sad face a few days ago, and I asked him to know that he is now in a problem." ”
"He's still begging me to let me help contact any gynostemma herb dealers."
"They say they are short of this medicine."
"Huh?" Lu Tao was stunned: "Then isn't the one in it just now procurement?" ”
Zhou Lijun waved his hand:
"Definitely not, my cousin is out of town, and I don't think I'll be back until tonight."
"If you really have gynostemma, I'll take you to see him at night, this will really help him a lot!"
Lu Tao never thought that going around and around, the place where he wanted to sell gynostemma actually asked Zhou Lijun to help.
Lu Tao did not refuse Zhou Lijun's kindness, because he really wanted to sell the gynostemma: "Okay, then it will be troublesome to Mr. Zhou." ”
Lu Tao was closed here, and Zhou Lijun didn't let Lu Tao in, so he dragged Lu Tao to a tea room and talked for a long time.
In the evening, Zhou Lijun drove Lu Tao to his cousin's house.
Seeing his cousin coming, Zhou Tieshu also came out to greet him with a smile, but the sorrow on his face could be felt from afar.
"Tieshu, I'm here to introduce you to a noble person today."
Zhou Lijun led Lu Tao into the door, and said directly to the point: "You didn't say you wanted gynostemma last time, he has it." ”
"What? Do you have gynostemma? ”
He turned his head and said to Lu Tao again: "This is my cousin, Zhou Tieshu. ”
When Zhou Tieshu heard gynostemma, it was like an eighteen-year-old single dog seeing a beautiful woman with a red fruit, and he greeted him directly.
Lu Tao nodded, and handed over his two bags of gynostemma without ambiguity.
"Good quality! Fresh wild gynostemma! ”
After Zhou Tieshu looked at it, he couldn't help but applaud.
It is completely different from the answer Lu Tao got in Renhetang just now, not only is it not fake, but it is still superior.
Lu Tao instantly understood that there must be a ghost in this.
But there was no need for Lu Tao to say it, Zhou Lijun on the side spoke indignantly first.
He recounted the experience Lu Tao told him just now to Zhou Tieshu again.
"Who the hell is that young man, so unsightly?? In terms of this technology, he is also a manager, and he is better than him when he sits there with a pig. Zhou Lijun complained dissatisfiedly after speaking.
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Tieshu laughed when he heard this: "Shi Kai, Shi Kai, I didn't expect it, you think you can bring me down by driving people out." ”
He turned to look at Lu Tao: "Mr. Lu, it's really my luck that Lijun can bring you to me." ”
"I'll tell you the truth, this gynostemma is really important to me, and they want to use it against me, so that I can't buy herbs, so that I can be removed from my job."
"I have promised them that I will be able to bring the gynostemma over tomorrow and let their production resume."
"So that young man just now, oh, that is, Shi Kai, he has to find a way to get you out. So that I can't hand over tomorrow. ”
"Now you've done me a great favor, so let's take all these gynostemma, as for the price......"
"I'll give you 5 yuan a pound!"
Lu Tao was a little shocked in his heart, because he had the knowledge of the previous life, he knew the price of this gynostemma before, but he never thought that this price would be so valuable.
5 yuan a catty, in this era, it is worth several catties of pork.
Zhou Tieshu saw that Lu Tao didn't speak, thinking that Lu Tao was dissatisfied, so he hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Lu, this price is not low, we normally collect 3-4 yuan a catty."
That look, I am afraid that Lu Tao is unwilling to sell the gynostemma to him.
At the same time, he also looked at Zhou Lijun on the side as if asking for help, wanting Zhou Lijun to help him speak.
Lu Tao also understood at this time that several of them should have misunderstood what they meant, and he hurriedly interjected before Zhou Lijun could speak:
"Oh, at this price, I think it's okay, then where will I send gynostemma every day in the future?"
Zhou Tieshu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out the scales from home, and said while weighing: "In the future, I will directly help send it directly to Renhetang, and I will wait for you there every day!" ”
Under the weighing, the two bags totaled 39 catties, and Zhou Tieshu took 200 yuan directly from home and handed it to Lu Tao.
And thanked and exhorted again and again: "Mr. Lu, thank you for helping me, the future is still the same, as much as I want." ”
His heart was full of anticipation, feeling that if he took gynostemma to Renhetang tomorrow, those who wanted to see him expelled would have a green face.
Especially Shi Kai, I'm afraid I'm not going to vomit blood hahaha.
However, Lu Tao did not stay on Zhou Tieshu's side for a long time.
He hurriedly wanted to go back, after all, there were still mothers and daughters waiting for him at home.
Zhou Lijun hurriedly rushed to send Lu Tao back.
And when Lu Tao was sitting in Zhou Lijun's car, with the 200 yuan he had just recovered in his pocket, and the trunk of the car was still filled with many gift boxes given to Lu Tao by Zhou Lijun and rushing to Dayuan Village.
Su Yuqing and Lu Sitian from Dayuan Village sat at the table, ready to eat.
It's just that the empty space on one side of the table makes this home look extra deserted.
The atmosphere at home is also unusually depressing.
"Mom, why hasn't Dad come back yet? I want to eat braised pork made by my father! ”
Tian Tian looked at the bowl on the table with only green vegetables and asked this question over and over again.
Su Yuqing forcibly squeezed out a smile from her face: "Tiantian, Dad has something to do, and he will be back soon." Shall we eat something first? ”
"Okay." Tian Tian is still very well-behaved, and she didn't make any trouble.
But Su Yuqing's eyes were full of anxiety and worry.
At this point, Lu Tao has not come back yet.
Did he go gambling again? Every time he gambles, Lu Tao is day and night.
Or will Lu Tao sell herbs and encounter any danger?
Or did Lu Tao miss the shuttle back to the village?
Still is...... Lu Tao doesn't want to come back?
reminds me of Lu Tao's different performance during the day yesterday and today.
Su Yuqing was wondering, did Lu Tao really lose a lot of money in betting, and then came to comfort himself and Tiantian, and then ran away?
"Rainy and sunny."
At that moment, the door of their house was pushed open.
