Chapter 171: Buying Wild Mountain Ginseng
The warehouse behind the department store is the recycling station here, and the person in charge is called Lao Li, and his daily work is to look at the goods and receive them, and then classify the collected things.
Although the work is not leisurely, I can't bear the oil and water of this work, and there are too many places where I can do some small actions by myself.
There was no one at noon, and as soon as he rested for a while, he saw someone coming, and it seemed that it was still a family.
"You ...... Is it here to ship? Lao Li's tone hesitated, what are you doing with these two empty hands?
"It's not." Social gangster Su Aimin directly stepped forward and took out two cigarettes and handed them over, "Big brother, we want to come and see what you have collected here, if there is anything good, I will exchange it with you." ”
As for what to exchange, naturally everyone who understands it.
Lao Li naturally took the cigarette, but said in his mouth: "I'm just collecting some mountain goods, what good things can I have?" If you want to buy something good, you are in the wrong place, you have to go to the department store in front of you to buy it. ”
Su Aimin smiled, "Big brother, we don't talk darkly, we all know that you have a lot of things here, you have a wide road, there must be good things, I don't want anything else, it's just that there are old people in the family who are sick, I want to see if you have any good medicinal materials here?" ”
"Medicinal herbs? Then you'll have to go to the pharmacy and ask, I don't have one here. Lao Li still looked as usual and didn't let go.
Qin Ying said with a smile: "Big brother, you can help, my father has a back injury, so he wants to buy some good medicinal materials and go back to make wine." ”
Lao Li took a puff of cigarette and didn't speak.
Su Qingyun gritted his teeth, and immediately looked worried, with tears in his eyes, and his voice was full of crying, "Uncle, my grandfather injured his back when he was doing farm work, and the injuries he had fallen on the battlefield before were not good, but now they are more serious, if you receive this medicinal herb, sell it to us." ”
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were also amazed when they looked at the speed at which their daughter's face changed.
Lao Li frowned, and finally said, "Your grandfather used to be a soldier?" ”
"That's right." Su Qingyun raised his head proudly, "My grandfather is not only a soldier, but also a hero who has made great contributions on the battlefield before." ”
Lao Li hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You guys come with me." ”
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were overjoyed.
Su Qingyun's tone was excited, "Thank you, uncle!" ”
Lao Li took the three of them into a small warehouse inside, which was not big or much, there was a shelf several stories high, Lao Li took a small box from it, opened it and handed it to everyone.
"I only have this old ginseng here, you are lucky, you just recovered it from a farmer yesterday, and you are about to send it to the pharmacy."
The three of them were happy, and immediately approached to see the formal mountain ginseng with thick roots and mud in the box, and the fragrance of the mountain ginseng also came to their faces.
The three of them were overjoyed, they didn't expect that they really found such a good wild ginseng so easily, fortunately they came in time, if it was sent to the pharmacy, not to mention that the effect of the concocted ginseng after soaking in wine is not as good as fresh ginseng, the price will also increase several times.
Qin Ying immediately asked, "Big brother, how do you buy this mountain ginseng?" We're going to do it. ”
Lao Li said slowly: "The price of this wild ginseng is not low, and it costs this amount." ”
He made a two.
Su Aimin's tone hesitated, "Two...... Twenty? ”
Lao Li rolled his eyes, "Two hundred!" What twenty, shall you buy grass? ”
"Two hundred, not negotiable."
"Two hundred!" Su Aimin's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed, "Just 200 roots of this tree?!" "It's more expensive than a bike!
"What roots? Wild ginseng, do you know the goods? Lao Li's eyes rolled even wider, "I will harvest one hundred and eighteen, and I will earn you twenty yuan." ”
"I also saw that you said that the old man was an old hero who had been on the battlefield, so he offered this price, it depends on whether you want it or not, right?"
Su Aimin touched his nose, he really didn't know the goods, in his opinion, this was no different from the roots on the mountain.
Although Su Qingyun is not studying medicine, he still has this bit of eyesight, this wild ginseng has been around for at least twenty or thirty years, and it is impossible to meet it, and this price is definitely earned by them.
Qin Ying had seen the world after all, and knew that this price was indeed not exaggerated, but thinking of so much money, she was still a little hesitant, and couldn't help but look at Su Aimin.
Su Aimin touched his pocket, he had enough money today.
After thinking about it, he nodded, "We want it!" ”
Since they all say that it is a good thing, then buy it, anyway, it is to honor the elders, and the money is well spent.
When Lao Li heard this, his eyes widened, to be honest, he never thought that these people could really take out two hundred yuan casually to buy this wild ginseng, but they showed them with the mentality of opening their eyes, I didn't expect it to be so refreshing, it seems that he is a master who is not bad for money.
Since he decided to ask for it, Su Aimin did not hesitate, and directly touched the money from his pocket and gave it to him.
Lao Li said while counting the money: "This wild ginseng is charged at this price, but you make money, if you go to the pharmacy, at least fifty people may not sell it." ”
He was right, although it seems that he earned twenty yuan in and out, which is almost a month's salary for a worker, but others do not have this channel and way to receive these things, so it is still Su Aimin who earns them.
The three of them paid the money and happily took the wild ginseng and left.
Qin Ying opened the box and took another look, a little worried, "The soil on this is dry, won't this mountain ginseng be dehydrated by then when we send it over?" ”
This dehydrated ginseng soaking wine is not as good as fresh soaking wine.
"Mother, it's okay, fresh ginseng can generally be stored for more than a week, we are in the town now, so we can simply send it directly, so it should not take a few days to reach grandpa."
Qin Ying thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Okay." ”
The three of them went to the post office non-stop, sent the ginseng directly, and asked for a pen and paper at the post office to write a short letter, which wrote how to make this wild ginseng and some words of comfort and concern.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Qingyun was about to go back to school, Qin Ying and Su Aimin walked back, Su Qingyun originally wanted to give them the bicycle, but the two were not in a hurry to go back, so they didn't agree.
The couple walked home slowly, and on the way, Qin Ying's expression was a little tangled.
"What's wrong? Daughter-in-law? Su Aimin asked strangely.
"Aimin, we spent so much money on this trip, but the family ......" Qin Ying wanted to speak again.
She was thinking about buying something just now, but now that she has nothing to do, she realized that she spent so much money, if the family knew about it, she might have made a fuss.
"What's wrong at home?" Su Aimin was even more strange, "We didn't spend the family's money, we all said that we earned it ourselves, and no one could say." ”
"Besides, for so many years, we haven't been by your father's side, we haven't done much filial piety, it is necessary to spend some money to buy medicinal herbs in the past, I still don't think it's enough, let's stop sending some money over, right?"
"Enough is enough." Qin Ying saw that he was not joking, and immediately said, "It's already a lot, if you send money over, maybe my father and mother think we have done something?" ”
She sent the value of the wild ginseng to her parents, and if they sent the money, they would have to worry about what they shouldn't have done.
Su Aimin smiled: "Don't worry, it's nothing to spend this money, you man and I may make money." ”
Qin Ying was frightened, "You keep quiet, what if someone hears you?" ”
Su Aimin looked at the road where there was no one a hundred meters away, "Where is this person?" ”
"We need to be careful, but there's no need to be so afraid."
Qin Ying sighed, "It's better to be careful, you forgot ...... last time" The last time the bicycle was checked, it scared her so much.
"Okay, okay, I see." Su Aimin hurriedly said.
Qin Ying was a little settled in her heart, in fact, every time Su Aimin went out to earn money, her heart was hanging, but she couldn't stop it, after all, he was also for this family to live a better life.
Here, the couple went home slowly, and over there, Su Qingyun also returned to school.
"You're back?" Xia Qiu beckoned to Su Qingyun, "Come here." ”
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyun didn't know why.
"What are you doing at noon?" Xia Qiu asked her.
"I'm out."
"I know you're out, I'm asking who you're going out with?" Xia Qiu whispered, "Is it with Chen Zhibin in the third year of high school?" ”
"No, how could it be him?"
"Ji Yue and I saw you and Chen Zhibin at the door."
"He came to me for something, and I'll leave." Su Qingyun said helplessly, "I'm with my father and mother at noon." ”
She nodded Xia Qiu's forehead, "Why are you so gossipy?" ”
"What is gossip?"
"It's just a love of inquiry." Su Qingyun didn't have a good airway.
"It's not that I like to inquire." Xia Qiu didn't admit it, "It's too sour for someone to be too sour, it's hard to ignore it, tsk." She recalled Ji Yue's ugly face at noon and laughed, as if someone owed him money.
"Who?" Su Qingyun didn't understand.
"Nobody, go back quickly."
Xia Qiu watched Su Qingyun return to his position, and immediately began to look at Ji Yue's reaction.
When Ji Yue saw the people around him sit down, he paused as he flipped through the book, and asked casually, "Have you eaten at noon?" ”
"Eat it." Su Qingyun replied casually, "The big buns in the state-run restaurant taste really good, the boiled fish is also amazing, the toon scrambled eggs are also good, and the toon in this spring is tender." ”
Speaking of these, Su Qingyun still has an endless aftertaste.
Also went to a state-run restaurant for dinner? Ji Yue's hand unconsciously crumpled the pages.
"Just the two of you and order two dishes?" That kid is so edible?
Two people? Su Qingyun turned his head to look at him, not knowing why, "What two people?" ”
"My father and my mother and I, it's almost the same as ordering these dishes."
Parents? Ji Yue's brain was jammed with vinegar.
