The warehouse behind the department store is the recycling bin here. The person in charge is called Lao Li. His daily work is to check and receive the goods, and then sort the collected things.
Although the work is not leisurely, I can't bear the amount of oil and water in this work. There are too many places where I can do some small things by myself.
There was no one around at noon. He had just rested for a while when he saw someone coming. They looked like a family.
"Are you... here to ship goods?" Lao Li hesitated. What were you doing with your empty hands?
"No." Social gangster Su Aimin stepped forward and took out two cigarettes and handed them over, "Brother, we want to take a look at the things you have here. If there are any good things, I will exchange them with you."
As for what to exchange for it, I naturally know everything.
Lao Li took the cigarette naturally and said, "I am just collecting some mountain goods. What good things can I get? If you want to buy good things, you are looking in the wrong place. You have to go to the department store ahead."
Su Aimin smiled and said, "Brother, we all know that you have a lot of stuff here and a wide range of routes. I don't want anything else, but there is an old man at home who is sick and I want to take a look. Do you have any good medicinal materials here?"
"Medicine? Then you have to go to the drug store to ask. I don't have any here." Lao Li still looked as usual and did not let go.
Qin Ying said with a smile: "Brother, please help me. My father hurts his back and wants to buy some good medicinal materials and go back to make wine."
Lao Li took a puff of cigarette and said nothing.
Su Qingyun gritted his teeth, and immediately looked worried, with tears in his eyes and a cry in his voice, "Uncle, my grandpa injured his waist while doing farm work. He was not healed of the injuries he sustained on the battlefield. Now What’s more serious, if you receive these medicinal materials, just sell them to us.”
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were amazed when they saw how quickly 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 was not only a soldier, he was also a hero who made great contributions on the battlefield."
Lao Li hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Come with me."
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were overjoyed.
Su Qingyun said with excitement, "Thank you, uncle!"
Lao Li took the three of them into a small warehouse inside. It was not big and there were not many things inside. There was a shelf several floors high. Lao Li took a small box from the top, opened it and handed it to everyone.
"I only have this kind of old wild ginseng here. You are lucky. It was just collected from a farmer yesterday and is about to be sent to the drug store."
The three of them were overjoyed and immediately came closer to take a look. Inside the box was a mountain ginseng with thick roots and soil. The fragrance of the mountain ginseng also hit their faces.
The three of them were overjoyed. They didn't expect that they could find such a good wild ginseng so easily. Fortunately, they arrived in time. If it were sent to the drug store, let alone the ginseng after processing. The effect of soaking ginseng in wine is not as good as that of fresh ginseng, and the price will also increase several times.
Qin Ying immediately asked: "Brother, how can I buy this wild ginseng? We want it."
Lao Li said slowly: "The price of this wild ginseng is not low, it costs this amount."
He made a sign of two.
Su Aimin hesitated, "Two...twenty?"
Lao Li rolled his eyes, "Two hundred! What's twenty? Do you think it's buying grass?"
"Two hundred, no negotiation."
"Two hundred!" Su Aimin's eyes widened instantly and he screamed, "Two hundred yuan for this tree root?!" This is more expensive than a bicycle!
"What kind of tree root? Wild ginseng, do you know what the product is?" Old Li rolled his eyes even more, "I harvested 180 yuan from all the goods, so I earn you 20 yuan."
"I only offered this price because you said that the old man is an old hero who has been on the battlefield. It depends on whether you want it, right?"
Su Aimin touched his nose. He was really ignorant. In his opinion, this was no different from the tree roots on the mountain.
Although Su Qingyun is not a medical student, he still has some sharp eyesight. This wild ginseng is at least twenty or thirty years old. It is rare but cannot be found. They definitely made a profit at this price.
After all, Qin Ying had seen the world and knew that the price was indeed not an exaggeration. But thinking of so much money, she still hesitated and couldn't help but look at Su Aimin.
Su Aimin touched his pocket. He had enough money today.
After thinking for a while, he nodded, "We want it!"
Since they all said it was a good thing, I bought it. Anyway, it was to honor the elders and it was well worth the money.
When Lao Li heard this, his eyes widened. To be honest, he had never thought that these people could really spend two hundred yuan to buy this wild ginseng. He just showed it to them with the mentality of opening their eyes. , I didn’t expect to be so cheerful. It seems that he is a wealthy owner.
Now that he had decided to take it, Su Aimin did not hesitate and took the money directly from his pocket and gave it to him.
While counting the money, Lao Li said: "You have made a profit by collecting this wild ginseng at this price. If you go to the drug store, at least fifty people will not necessarily sell it."
He was right. Although it seemed that he had earned twenty yuan, which was almost equal to a worker's monthly salary, no one else had the channels and means to receive these things, so it was Su Aimin who They earned it.
The three of them paid the money and left happily holding the wild ginseng.
Qin Ying opened the box and took another look, a little worried, "The soil here is all dry. Will the ginseng be dehydrated by the time we send it over?"
This dehydrated ginseng soaked wine is not as good as the fresh soaked wine.
"Mom, it's okay. Fresh ginseng can usually be stored for more than a week. We are in town now, so we might as well send it directly. It should be able to reach grandpa in a few days."
Qin Ying thought about it and thought it made sense, "Okay."
The three of them went to the post office without stopping and sent the wild ginseng directly. They also asked for paper and pen at the post office and wrote a short letter, in which they wrote how to brew the wild ginseng and some words of relief 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 they were not in a hurry to go back, so they did not agree.
The couple walked slowly home. On the way, Qin Ying's expression was a little tangled.
"What's wrong? Wife?" Su Aimin asked strangely.
"Aimin, we spent so much money on this trip, but at home..." Qin Ying hesitated.
She had been thinking about buying something just now, but now that she had nothing to do, she realized that she had spent so much money. If her family knew about this, what would happen.
"What happened at home?" Su Aimin was even more surprised, "We didn't spend any money from the family. We all said we earned it ourselves, and no one can tell."
"Besides, we haven't been with your parents for so many years, and we haven't been very filial in the first place. It's right to spend some money to buy medicinal herbs. I don't think it's enough. Why don't we send some more money?" "
"That's enough, that's enough." Qin Ying saw that he was not joking and said immediately, "It's already a lot. If we send more money, my parents might think we have done something?"
Her parents should know the value of that wild ginseng if she sends it there. If she sends more money, they will worry about what they shouldn't have done.
Su Aimin smiled and said: "Don't worry, spending this little money is nothing. Your man and I may make money."
Qin Ying was frightened and said, "Keep your voice down, what if someone hears you?"
Su Aimin looked at the road where there was no one around a hundred meters away, "Where did this person come from?"
"We have to be careful, but there is no need to be so afraid."
Qin Ying sighed, "It's better to be careful. You forgot last time..." The last time the bike was inspected scared her to death.
"Okay, okay, I understand." Su Aimin said quickly.
Qin Ying finally settled down a little. In fact, every time Su Aimin went out to make money, she was worried, but she couldn't stop her. After all, he also wanted the family to live a better life. .
Here, the couple went home slowly, and over there, Su Qingyun also returned to school.
"Are you back?" Xia Qiu waved to Su Qingyun, "Come here, come here."
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyun didn't know why.
"What did you do at noon?" Xia Qiu asked her.
"I'm out."
"I know you went out. I asked who you went out with?" Xia Qiu whispered, "Is it with Chen Zhibin who was in the senior year of high school?"
"No, how could it be him?"
"Ji Yue and I saw you and Chen Zhibin at the door."
"He asked me to tell me something, and after he said it I left." Su Qingyun said helplessly, "I will be with my parents at noon."
She tapped Xia Qiu's forehead, "Why are you so gossipy?"
"What is gossip?"
"I just like to ask around." Su Qingyun said angrily.
"It's not that I like to pry around." Xia Qiu refused to admit it. "In fact, this person is so bitter that it's hard for me to ignore him, tsk tsk tsk." She recalled Ji Yue's ugly face during lunch and it was funny. He looked like someone. As if you owe him money.
"Who?" Su Qingyun didn't understand.
"No one, please go back quickly."
Xia Qiu watched Su Qingyun return to his position, and his eyes immediately widened to see Ji Yue's reaction.
When Ji Yue saw the person next to him sitting down, he paused in turning the book and asked casually, "Have you had lunch?"
"I ate it." Su Qingyun replied casually, "The big buns from the state-owned restaurant taste really good, the boiled fish is also amazing, and the scrambled eggs with toon are also good. The toon in spring is so tender."
Speaking of these, Su Qingyun still has endless aftertaste.
Did you even go to a state-owned hotel for dinner? Ji Yue's hands unconsciously crumpled the pages of the book.
"You two are just ordering two dishes?" Is that kid so good at eating?
Two people? Su Qingyun turned her head to look at him, not knowing why, "What two people?"
"My father, my mother and I are the three of us. We should order these dishes."
Parents? Ji Yueqiu's brain was stuck due to jealousy.
