Sheng Changnan quickly issued Zhang Cheng a delivery order, instructing him to bring the order to pick up the goods.

A few minutes later, Zhang Cheng left the cardboard box factory with the order slip in his hand and rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Mo Qijing stared at Zhang Cheng, a little confused. This guy just sold some Solomon's Seal to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, and now he's here to buy more? What's he up to? Is he just burning money and deliberately coming to the supply and marketing cooperative for fun?

The supply and marketing cooperative buys Polygonatum at 1.5 yuan a piece, and then sells it for a higher price. No matter how you look at it, this deal is not worthwhile.

Seeing Mo Qijing's strange expression, Zhang Cheng smiled and, before she could ask, explained, "Sister, I need some higher quality Polygonatum and some Panax notoginseng. The goods our supply and marketing cooperative collects should be of good quality, right?"

So that's how it is.

Since things had come to this point, Mo Qijing was too lazy to ask any more questions. She shrugged and said, "Alright, then come with me to the warehouse and take a look. Polygonatum is two yuan a pound, and Panax notoginseng is three yuan and sixty cents a pound."

As she spoke, Mo Qijing turned and walked into the inner room.

Soon, the two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse.

Logically speaking, unauthorized personnel should not be allowed to enter warehouses.

However, now that Zhang Cheng's sales point license has been approved, he can barely be considered half a member of the supply and marketing cooperative. In addition, since Director Zhao had treated Zhang Cheng differently before, Mo Qijing naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him on such a trivial matter.

After greeting the old man who looked after the warehouse and registering his name in a notebook, Zhang Cheng followed Mo Qijing into the warehouse.

Mo Qijing pointed to the southeast corner of the warehouse, where there were piles of messy sacks, and said, "Brother, the Polygonatum and Panax notoginseng are piled up over there. Pick as much as you want, and we'll weigh it later."

"Thanks, sis!"

"Here we go again, why are you being so polite with me?" Mo Qijing rolled her eyes at Zhang Cheng, with a hint of reproach in her voice.

Zhang Cheng grinned, said nothing more, and walked straight to the pile of sacks, starting to sort through the Solomon's Seal and Panax notoginseng.

He didn't mind the trouble; he poured all the Solomon's seal out of the sack and carefully picked through it under the light.

Since Mo Qijing had nothing better to do, she simply squatted down and helped Zhang Cheng pick out the items.

The two worked for more than three hours, and just as the supply and marketing cooperative was about to close, Zhang Cheng finally managed to pick out twenty catties of Polygonatum and ten catties of Panax notoginseng.

After paying, Zhang Cheng left the supply and marketing cooperative with two bulging sacks on his shoulders.

Braving the howling wind and snow, Zhang Cheng jogged back to the guesthouse and renewed his room for two more days at the front desk.

"Er Gouzi, what's that thing you're carrying on your shoulder?"

Inside the room, Zhang Da was staring blankly at the coal stove. Hearing the noise, he quickly got up and came over. Looking at the sack Zhang Cheng was carrying on his shoulder, he asked curiously and helped Zhang Cheng unload the sack onto the ground.

"Polygonatum and Panax notoginseng".

"Huh?" Zhang Da was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and looked puzzled. "You've been out all day, just to buy these two bags of Polygonatum and Panax notoginseng?"

"More or less."

"So... tomorrow, should we sell these Solomon's Seal and Panax notoginseng back to the supply and marketing cooperative?" Zhang Da Nao asked tentatively, completely unable to figure out Zhang Cheng's intentions.

“I bought these from the supply and marketing cooperative,” Zhang Cheng corrected.

Zhang Da was completely dumbfounded.

What is that?

Did you buy these Polygonatum and Panax notoginseng from the supply and marketing cooperative?

So what was your purpose in spending so much effort yesterday to sell the Polygonatum to the supply and marketing cooperative?

Zhang Cheng didn't intend to explain in detail to Zhang Da Nao. He waved his hand and changed the subject, saying, "Alright, let's not think about this for now. Come on, let's go out and get something to eat. We've been busy all day, and we're starving."

"Oh... okay."

Although Zhang Da Nao was full of questions and couldn't understand what Zhang Cheng was thinking, he firmly remembered one thing: any decision made by Er Gouzi must be correct.

As dusk fell, the two wandered around the county town for a long time before finally finding a small stall selling multigrain pancakes in a remote corner. They each bought three pancakes and took a bite in the cold wind.

...

Nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning, Zhang Cheng took Zhang Da Nao to the supply and marketing cooperative again and asked Mo Qijing to help him find two porters to help carry goods back to the village. They agreed on a price of six yuan per person per day, plus two packs of Fei Ma cigarettes.

"Big Head Brother, you take the goods back to the village first. I have some things to take care of here, so I'll go back in a few days. Oh, and I'll leave these goods at your house for now. Also, please take care of my wife's situation as well."

Zhang Da Nao didn't ask Zhang Cheng why he wanted to stay in the county town, but he asked with some concern, "Er Gouzi, are you sure you'll be alright staying in the county alone? Or, I can stay and lend you a hand?"

"No!"

Zhang Cheng smiled and shook his head, reassuringly saying, "It's nothing to me, I'll be done in no time, at most two or three days, and I'll definitely be back in the village."

"Alright then, leave the goods at my house. Don't worry, not a single grain of salt will be missing. As for your sister-in-law... I'll have my mother go and keep her company, to help her relax."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Auntie." Zhang Cheng nodded and added, "Take advantage of the fact that the snow isn't too heavy yet, and set off early. Be careful on the road."

Don't worry!

Mo Qijing had already had the goods prepared in advance, and she had even carefully made a small notebook, which clearly recorded what kind of goods they were, their purchase price, and how much they would sell for at the supply and marketing cooperative. It was all very clear at a glance.

"Have a safe trip!" Mo Qijing waved to Zhang Da Tou Nao from the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Er Gouzi, you should keep an eye on things while you're in the county." Zhang Da Tou squatted down, laboriously picked up the carrying pole, nodded to Zhang Cheng, and strode out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
