Chapter 249 The Return Journey
Fresh medicinal herbs are certainly not as expensive as processed ones, but in just one afternoon, Cen Yan's wallet had gained another 1,200 yuan.
This is all money she earned with her own hands, not inherited, so it feels completely different to use it. Before it even got dark, she had just earned 1,200 yuan from selling medicinal herbs and spent nearly 900 yuan of it at the Blue City Department Store.
Looking at the pile of newly added "miscellaneous goods" in the space, Cen Yan couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that the charlatan who escaped the "Four Olds" when Shan Jianshe found her when she was a child was not lying, but actually had real skills?
After thinking about it for a while, Cen Yan laughed again. So what if she lost money? She had money to lose, which proved that she was rich and knew how to make money!
She could earn 1,200 yuan in an afternoon. In the 1970s, she had every right to be proud of that skill.
The next day, Cen Yan didn't wait for Lin Xiaoliu, or rather, she couldn't see him at all. She couldn't even say goodbye before leaving.
Even more strangely, Ji Moliang, who had been clinging to her and wanting to compete in this and that, had also disappeared. She had no choice but to write a letter at the post office, informing them of the competition arrangements and her address, and then go to the dock window to get her boat ticket and board the passenger ship for her return journey.
It was already late November, and the weather was getting colder. When they were halfway through the flight, a light snow began to fall. Cen Yan quickly put on the down jacket she had just received a couple of days ago.
She hadn't had time to make a down jacket for herself yet; the one she was wearing was for Qi Jingchuan, and it was his size.
Cen Yan was already petite, and now that she was wearing an oversized men's down jacket, she looked just like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes. However, there was an advantage to it, because Qi Jingchuan's size was large and it was a long garment, so the down jacket could completely cover her from neck to toe.
If you don't look closely, you can't even see her ankles.
Once she put on the down jacket, Cen Yan personally experienced how great this kind of clothing was. It was lightweight, warm, and most importantly, it even had the function of a trench coat, but it was more windproof than a trench coat.
Cen Yan almost regretted ordering a trench coat for Dai Duo instead of a down jacket; otherwise, the trench coat would definitely have sold like hotcakes.
However, she also knew that it was not realistic to make down jackets and sell them at this time. The reason was simple: it was too difficult to find duck down. The down jacket she prepared for Qi Jingchuan was made from duck down that Dai Duo's family had saved up over the years. After sterilization, it was impossible to make another one with the remaining duck down.
The most urgent task is to secure the duck down supply channels.
Cen Yan had a bold plan in mind. After things were settled in the Northwest, she would send another telegram to Master Lei, asking him to find people to help her collect duck down, as much as she could get, and accepting all comers.
Thinking this, Cen Yan leaned back in her seat and slowly closed her eyes to rest, but she didn't sleep for long before she was overwhelmed by the body odor of the other passengers in the cabin, such as their foot odor and bad breath.
I simply wrapped myself tightly in my down jacket and went out onto the deck for some fresh air.
Because of the snowfall and concerns about sea conditions, the passenger ship slowed down slightly.
We were supposed to arrive at the pier before 6 p.m., but now we are more than an hour late.
It was 7:30 p.m. when the passenger ship finally docked and we disembarked.
Cen Yan saw Qi Jingchuan as soon as she got off the boat.
He was tall and handsome, and wearing a standard military uniform, he was a unique sight to behold. Many of his fellow villagers even went over to salute him.
