Chen Wu noticed her gaze, turned around and smiled, "What a coincidence, Long Zhiqing also found some ginseng? Xu Yin picked up some too."
"You are living with your parents now, so shouldn't you give some to your mother? Your parents are old and need to take care of their health."
Hearing this, Long Yujiao stared at Chen Wu in disbelief, "Chen Wu, don't go too far!"
"If you want me not to go too far, then you should be more stable. Don't think that behind my back, I won't know what you are thinking of to harm me." Chen Wu walked closer to Long Yujiao, holding the ginseng. "If you want me to be more restless, you will see who will be the unlucky one in the end."
"At the moment, I always have the upper hand."
Long Yujiao was so angry when she saw Shen Wu's smug face that she dug her nails into her flesh and looked at Xu Yin: "Without Xu Yin, you are nothing!"
"Unfortunately, there is. There's nothing we can do about it. Don't you want to be friends with Xu Yin? Don't you want to cooperate with her?" Chen Wu smiled frivolously: "It's because she looks down on you."
Chen Wu said, "If you keep talking here, I'll tell Lan Lan about your ginseng matter and see if Lan Lan lets you honor her!"
Long Yujiao gritted her teeth so hard that her back teeth were almost broken.
His eyes were red, but he finally waved his sleeves and left.
I was so angry that my stomach started to hurt.
But if I want to report it to Old Lady Lu, I will definitely have to give her a portion of the points. Old Lady Lu's care for me is no longer as unconditional as before.
She couldn't let Shen Wu get to Old Lady Lu.
Chen Wu said, "This is too much. Sell some of it. Steam and dry the rest, make red ginseng slices, and boil them in water to drink."
Shen Wu wanted to sell it, and Xu Yin didn't stop her. She nodded and said, "Okay."
This has the effect of promoting blood circulation, but Long Yujiao naturally cannot eat it herself. Since her marriage, she has not only lived longer, but also Old Lady Lu is no longer unconditionally kind to her, and she is becoming increasingly short of money.
The purpose of the fight is to sell these young ginseng for money.
However, the ones he had were far less than the ones Xu Yin had snatched away, and the quality was not as good as those, and they were even of a lower age.
Chen Wu told Lu Xuan that she wanted to go to the ghost market to take another look.
There were still people they had offended last time on the black market. Even if they hadn't offended anyone, Lu Xuan was still worried about Shen Wu and Xu Yin going there that night: "I'll go with you."
"I happen to have a batch of rabbits ready to sell. I'd like to inquire about the market price."
"And find some flue-cured tobacco seeds so we can plant some spring tobacco next year."
Chen Wu didn't want to go alone. In this era and at night, it was more reliable to have a man by her side. However, they hadn't gone out yet. At around eleven o'clock, Lu Xuan opened the window a little and looked out.
I looked at it for a few seconds.
Chen Wu was curious: "What are you looking at?"
Lu Xuan whispered, "Old Five and his wife are out."
Chen Wu was curious: "How did they get out?"
"He borrowed the team leader's bicycle in the evening and said he would go to the commune for a meeting tomorrow morning." Lu Xuan happened to be talking to the team leader at that time, so he was also clear about this matter.
Chen Wu thought of the young ginseng she had bought in the afternoon and guessed that they were probably going to sell it.
When the two of them went out, Lu Xuan postponed his trip for more than half an hour before driving the donkey cart. There was still a carrot hanging in front of the little donkey as usual.
The weather was cold, so in addition to the thick straw mat on the car, Lu Xuan also brought a military coat.
They were all draped over Chen Wu.
Lu Xuan and Lu Ye are both grown men. Even though Lu Ye's health is not so good, he is more hot-tempered than her.
As for Xu Yin, she exercises regularly, so she didn't feel cold that day.
Arrived at the county town.
Park the donkey cart in a secluded place.
Throw down a few carrots.
Chen Wu distributed masks to others. It was cold and dark today. There was not even a moon. The shadows were so blurry that it was hard to see who was who. If they didn't walk together, there was a risk of getting lost.
There were still very few people talking in the black market, and there were people standing guard at the door.
This was not the first time that brothers Lu Xuan and Lu Ye came here. They first found the fat man and sold the red ginseng. There were more than eight or nine fresh ginsengs in total, and they sold them for fifteen yuan.
"You're an acquaintance, so the price I'm giving you is quite high. This piece is of low age and worth very little. Someone just came in and it's worth more than you. I only gave you ten yuan. You can ask around in the market."
Lu Xuan lowered his voice, and the deliberately low voice was a little low: "Do you have any cotton wool? It's cold, I want twelve pounds."
This person is a middleman in the black market, who buys and sells things.
"It's getting cold, and cotton wool is in high demand. The price is quite high recently. If you don't have a ticket, it's 2.9 yuan per pound. This is the price I'm giving you because we're familiar with each other."
The price of cotton in those days was indeed not cheap, and it soared even more in winter. However, a pound of cotton wool was not a small amount. Cotton wool was a light thing, and more than ten pounds of fluffed cotton wool would fill a small cart.
Lu Xuan said: "I have meat."
The fat man was now interested: "What kind of meat?"
"Rabbit, about twenty-five."
Rabbit meat is not as good as pork. Pork is the most scarce product these days, but rabbit meat is not bad either. Twenty-five rabbits can be sold at a profit.
The fat man thought for a moment and said, "Live rabbits are 70 cents a pound. Do you think it's okay with you? If so, we can set a time."
In winter, these meats become more and more expensive.
Rabbit fur can also be used to make clothes in winter and is also a valuable item. After bargaining, the price was finally settled at 85 cents per pound.
This price is higher than sending it to the purchasing station, but lower than the retail price.
The two agreed on a time for delivery.
Shen Wu listened to the whole bargaining process and was a little confused, but she didn't ask in this place. She walked around the market again, and each transaction was like stealing something.
Chen Wu also saw Long Yujiao and Lu Cheng. Although they were hiding, they were still wearing their usual clothes and their voices were not changed intentionally. They were bargaining with someone to buy a plate.
"This is a good thing passed down from my ancestors. I won't sell it for less than five dollars." The man seemed annoyed.
Long Yujiao didn't say anything, but Lu Cheng spoke up instead: "No matter how valuable your ancestors' things are, they are worthless now. My family is short of a cooking plate. It's 1.5 yuan. If you think it's okay, I'll take it away."
"If you think it's not possible, then you can continue selling here."
"You're going to be reported. You're one of the Four Olds!"
This annoyed the man: "You..."
"Okay, stop arguing. Let's put it this way. I really like this plate. It's three dollars. If you think it's okay, I'll buy it. You can use the money as an emergency measure. If not, I'll leave."
Xu Yin pulled Shen Wu's hand in the dark.
Chen Wu knew what she meant. The heroine of the Koi Fish in the book just bought a plate to serve food, which would become an antique in the future.
After it was opened to the public, some people bought it at a high price. In the end, Long Yujiao became successful and famous, and donated the things to her own private museum. It was obviously a transfer from one hand to the other, but outsiders did not know about it and thought she was doing charity. Countless people on the Internet praised her as a winner in life, a beautiful person with a kind heart.
