Chapter 179 These Strawberries Are Really Valuable
He directly handed the money to Shang Ruoting, and did not touch the rest. He rolled it all up and put it back in its original place.
The two men cleaned up the traces of their presence before quietly leaving.
Ever since Tan Chen found out about his life experience, he has been in a low mood. Shang Ruoting didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only ask him what he thought first.
"Are you going to look for your biological parents?"
Tan Chen shook his head: "It depends on fate!"
Shang Ruoting understood his answer to mean that if his parents looked for him, he would recognize them, otherwise she would not take the initiative to look for them.
If this kind of thing doesn't happen to you, you may not be able to truly understand that feeling.
"Well, it's not bad to let everything take its course."
This was their first night moving into their new home, but Tan Chen couldn't sleep.
When he got up the next day, he had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and Shang Ruoting couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"You didn't get enough rest yesterday, so sleep a little longer."
Tan Chen smiled and rubbed her head: "It's okay, I'll go to the backyard and pick some strawberries to sell in the city."
Shang Ruoting had to use spiritual spring water to ripen the strawberries before picking them, so how could she let him go? What's more, she could also take out some strawberries produced in the space and mix them in.
"Let me pick some strawberries! You go help me clean the chicken coop."
Tan Chen didn't think too much about it and went to the chicken coop obediently.
When he came back, Shang Ruoting had picked four baskets of strawberries and placed them in the yard, and was thinking about how to transport them to the city by bicycle.
Seeing this, Tan Chen hurried forward to help.
He found some wooden sticks and placed them between the two baskets, so that two baskets of strawberries could be hung on one side of the rear rack of the car.
"Wife, it's too hot today. Should I go to the city to sell strawberries?"
"But what should I do if I want to go too?" Shang Ruoting didn't want to give up the opportunity to go for a walk in the city.
Seeing her childlike appearance, Tan Chen pointed to the beam in front of the seat and said, "Then you sit here."
Shang Ruoting didn't act pretentiously and sat on it directly according to Tan Chen's instructions.
Fortunately, Tan Chen was in good physical condition. He was carrying Shang Ruoting in front and four baskets of strawberries in the back. The two of them arrived in front of the match factory again before noon.
Those who have bought Shang Ruoting’s fruits at the match factory would come to the door whenever they had nothing to do, hoping to eat these delicious strawberries again.
As soon as they arrived here, someone spotted Shang Ruoting and ran over quickly.
"Comrade, that's great! I finally got you here to sell fruit."
The man said, looking at the four bamboo baskets on the ground: "Are there only strawberries today? Peaches are delicious too. I want to buy them too."
When Shang Ruoting saw the man mention Taozi, she looked at Tan Chen with some guilt. She actually forgot that someone would ask her about Taozi.
Sure enough, Tan Chen turned his head to look at her: "What peach?"
Shang Ruoting laughed awkwardly: "Haha... Last time I met a peach seller. He was in a hurry to go home, and when he saw me setting up a stall here, he sold all the peaches to me at a low price. I just made a small profit from the difference."
Tan Chen could tell at a glance that she was not telling the truth, but out of habit he did not expose her. He just said "Oh" and went to greet the person who wanted to buy strawberries.
"We only have strawberries today. How many would you like to buy, comrade?"
The man took out a stack of money from his pocket, took out two one-yuan bills and handed them to Tan Chen: "I want four."
When Tan Chen helped him get the strawberries, he hesitated for a moment and handed Tan Chen two yuan: "Let's have eight, it's too little and I'm not satisfied."
Tan Chen's movements were also very quick. He handed the eight strawberries to the other party. Looking at the four yuan he had just received, he now completely believed one thing: these strawberries were indeed valuable...
Shortly after the people who bought strawberries left, people from the match factory came to buy strawberries one after another. Moreover, each person bought a large quantity and kept asking Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting when they could come back to sell strawberries.
The two of them were busy selling strawberries and answering people's questions, and the four baskets of strawberries were soon gone.
When there were only a dozen strawberries left, a middle-aged woman came over from the match factory.
The lesbian looked very capable. She was not wearing work clothes like the workers who had just come out, but a Dacron floral dress which was very fashionable in that era.
Tan Chen recognized the visitor immediately and was the first to greet him: "Hello, Director Wang."
Director Wang's attention was focused on the strawberries just now, and when he looked up, he realized it was an acquaintance.
"It's Comrade Tan Chen. Why are you here selling strawberries?"
Tan Chen smiled and explained, "These are strawberries grown in my vegetable garden. There are not many people in my family and we can't eat so many, so I'm selling some of them."
As he spoke, he did not forget to introduce Shang Ruoting: "Wife, this is Director Wang from the match factory. We asked her for help when we bought saltpeter last time."
Shang Ruoting quickly took out two strawberries and placed them in Director Wang's hand: "Director Wang, you've really helped my family a lot. Eat two strawberries to quench your thirst first."
Director Wang didn't expect that a country woman was so sensible. She took the strawberries with a smile and started eating them in front of the two men without any hesitation.
