Chapter 353: Fake Collar, Strawberry Pot

After Gu Sinian and Ming Dai purchased some supplies in Song City, they immediately drove to the next city.

In this way, they drove all the way to the capital, stopped whenever they came across a black market, and took out the goods accumulated in the space bit by bit.

As the year draws to a close, supplies are in short supply everywhere. The vegetables and fruits in Mingdai Space are in great demand everywhere, and are almost always sold at sky-high prices.

Not to mention meat. The meat supply in various places cannot meet the needs of citizens at all. It is basically a situation where you cannot buy meat even if you have money.

If you want to buy meat at the supply and marketing cooperative, you have to queue up in the middle of the night. There is meat on the black market, but it is also limited in purchase. Although you don’t need meat coupons, the price is basically doubled.

The two of them seized this opportunity and took out the goods in the space in batches.

It was also because of their arrival that the black market in the north became unexpectedly active this year, and people also had a good year because of this batch of supplies.

In the following years, on the eve of every Spring Festival, there would always be mysterious grandfathers and grandmothers bringing abundant supplies to the north, providing a steady supply of supplies to the resource-scarce city.

For a long time, the mysterious grandfather and grandmother were as popular in northern cities as Santa Claus in Western countries.

The titles of Lord Wealth and Lady God of Wealth have gradually become popular in Heilongjiang Province. Almost everyone involved in the black market has a New Year's goal of having Lord Wealth and Lady God of Wealth come and visit them.

They walked all the way like this, and it took them half a month to reach the capital.

After arriving in the capital, the two of them drove directly to look for Ding Jin and Lu San without delay.

When he saw them, Ding Jin looked at the two people standing together with a look of disgust on his face: "Finally, you little brat got me fooled."

Gu Sinian proudly embraced Mingdai, showing his big white teeth and smiling happily: "What do you mean by lying? We just like each other!"

Ding Jin couldn't bear to see him showing off, so he rubbed his hands and suggested to Ming Dai, who was blushing beside him, with a smile: "Xiao Ming, do you want to take another look? Your brother has just returned. He is 1.8 meters tall, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, and is very handsome!

Mainly, his personality is like his uncle, he is henpecked and likes to listen to his wife. Do you want to meet him? ! "

After saying this, he took out a photo from his shirt pocket and handed it over. It was obvious that he had planned it in advance.

Before Mingdai could say anything, Gu Sinian got anxious, snatched the photo away, and threw it back.

"Do you know what it means to be in a better position than others? Mingdai already has me, so she will definitely not like your son, a piece of charcoal. Put it away and don't embarrass yourself!"

"You little bastard! You're showing off your wealth? Do you have any shame?! What's wrong with my son's black spots? Black spots make a real man! You know nothing, pretty boy!"

"What's wrong with a pretty boy?! Our Ming Dai likes pretty boys!! She doesn't like your big black charcoal!!

Ming Dai, tell me, do you like pretty boys?!

Mingdai, please tell me! ! "

Ming Dai was so flustered by him that she nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, I like the ones with pale faces!"

Gu Sinian took Mingdai's hand and showed a smug smile to Ding Jin, which successfully made him jump with anger.

Ming Dai had a terrible headache. She pinched the boastful Gu Sinian hard and smiled embarrassedly at Uncle Ding Jin.

"Uncle Ding Jin, I'm sorry, I think Gu Sinian is doing well now, so I won't change my partner for the time being."

Ding Jin looked at the cute and well-behaved Ming Dai with regret: "Okay, when you want to change your partner, tell me and I will keep your brother for you!"

Gu Sinian gritted his teeth angrily, while Ming Dai looked embarrassed: "That's not necessary..."

Lu San watched them happily until they stopped making noise, then he went forward.

"Okay, stop making a fuss. Is the sweater you mentioned ready? I've already made arrangements with the rest home, and they're waiting for your sweater."

Gu Sinian stopped joking, opened the back compartment of the truck, and pulled out a few sacks.

"All of them are hand-woven sweaters. The quality and craftsmanship are impeccable. The V-neck ones are for men, and the round-neck ones are for women. They come in all sizes. You can pick one for yourself and your aunt to try on."

Lu San picked up the sweater and took a look. Not only was the quality good, the style was nice, but it was a little strange: "Two-piece suit? Are you planning to buy a sweater and get a shirt for free? That would increase the cost of the clothes, right?"

Gu Sinian shook his head with a smile, picked up a sweater and turned it over: "It's not a whole shirt, just the cuffs and collar are sewn, and it's made into loose buttons, so it can be taken apart and washed, which is very convenient."

"Fake?"

Lu San took it and tried to untie it, and actually took out a fake collar.

Ding Jin was also very satisfied: "Hey! This is good! This way, the sweater doesn't need to be washed often. Just wash the collar and cuffs more often!"

Ming Dai opened another sack: "Yes, so this time we are also selling matching fake collars.

Men's fake collars are standard shirt collars, available in white, gray and army green. In addition to the regular shirt collars, women's fake collars are also available in doll collars and mushroom collars, with more colors.

This combination is not only good-looking but also economical, and one piece can give you the effect of wearing seven or eight pieces."

Lu San looked at the sack of fake collars of various colors and styles and nodded with satisfaction: "Indeed, it's good. Nowadays, every household is in a tight supply of fabrics. This fake collar has solved the problem of many officers not having enough shirts to wear!"

Gu Sinian nodded and said: "This is the first batch of ready-made clothes produced by our Liujiawan Garment Factory, so the price will be more favorable.

The sweater is made of cashmere, which is much more expensive than wool. That’s the cost, so for $45 a piece, you can get a set of fake collars for free.

The fake collars are much cheaper, only RMB 1.5 per set, and you can buy a few more if you like them.

There are 800 items here. You and Uncle Ding can each pick two. See how much the rest home can offer. I will find someone else to pay for the rest."

Lu San looked at his painful expression with amusement. If he didn't know where this batch of cashmere came from, he would have thought that this brat was really generous.

But he was not wrong. Nowadays, cashmere sweaters are specially supplied to foreign businessmen. Even if these people have money and tickets, it is difficult to buy them. Forty-five yuan without a ticket is indeed a good deal.

"Okay, don't look for anyone else. Uncle San will pay for all 800 pieces for you. Do you have the contract from the garment factory and the approval slip from the village?"

Gu Sinian nodded immediately: "I brought them, they are all in the car!"

Lu San looked at the car and said with a smile: "Is this the car you stole last time?"

Gu Sinian chuckled twice without refutation.

Ding Jin got angry when he saw the car and glared at him fiercely: "You drove away secretly, didn't you know that the people from the Quartermaster Department came to your house the next day? If I hadn't taken the blame for you, you would have been punished!"

Gu Sinian looked at him with a smile: "Did I steal it? I was clearly borrowing it! I left a note!"

Ding Jin was so angry that he jumped up and down: "I'm not angry if you didn't leave a note, but what did you write on the note?!"

Ming Dai looked at Gu Sinian curiously, and Gu Sinian spoke confidently, "I wrote it very clearly: drive away, and find Ding Jin from the Dragon Team if you have any problems!"

Ming Dai: Poof!

Ding Jin was so angry that he wanted to hit him when he saw that he showed no remorse at all.

"Little bastard, do you know that I lost face in the Dragon Team because of this note? And why did you look for Ding Jin instead of Lu San when you had problems?!"

Gu Sinian blinked at him and said nothing.

He couldn't say that he didn't dare to provoke Lu San, the old fox, and only dared to harm him, right?

Ding Jin was frightened by his gaze and glared back, "Why are you looking at me? Tell me."

Lu San reacted, sighed and said "silly dog", and ended the topic.

"Okay, while it's still early, let's go to the rest house and deliver the things. Si Nian, you drive us there, and we can drive away later."

Gu Sinian and Mingdai looked at each other, agreed, and sent the people and the goods to the rest home.

When they arrived at the rest home and learned that they were there to deliver ready-made clothes, the guard immediately opened the door and let them in.

While the people inside were calling for the leader, Gu Sinian dragged down several large sacks.

Ding Jin happily watched Gu Sinian working hard, with no intention of helping at all. Lu San took over twice on his behalf.

After unloading all the goods, Gu Sinian got back into the car, worked hard for a while, and came down carrying six tightly packed baskets.

"Uncle San, this is a specialty of Liujiawan. Let me give it to you to try. If it tastes good, you can place an order from us next year."

Lu San looked at the tightly wrapped basket and was about to ask what was in it, but when he looked up, he saw Gu Sinian had quietly got into the car and Mingdai also sat in the passenger seat.

"Uncle San, I'll leave the sweater issue to you. We still have some things to do, so we won't return the car for now! We'll go to your house tomorrow to give you a holiday gift. See you tomorrow!"

Then he started the car quickly and rushed out of the rest home amid Ding Jin's series of "little bastard" calls.

Lu San looked at the two people who were running faster than rabbits with amusement, knowing that the guy was determined not to return the car.

"Okay, silly dog, why don't you take a look at what the specialty is?"

Ding Jin retorted harshly: "Shut up, you old fox, I'm not a stupid dog!"

But he honestly opened the basket.

The basket is made of bamboo, which is not only beautiful in appearance but also strong and durable.

The outermost covering was a brightly colored headscarf, which, when opened, revealed layers of withered yellow corn leaves, densely covering the area in several layers.

"What is this? It's so mysterious!!"

After removing all the corn leaves on the ground, I finally removed the last layer. What I saw after uncovering it was white fluffy cotton.

"A basket of cotton? Isn't it a waste to put cotton in such a nice basket?!"

Lu San came over curiously and said, "Heilongjiang Province is not rich in cotton, right? Let's see what's down there."

Ding Jin curled his lips and pulled aside the cotton pads, revealing a bright red area underneath.

The two looked at the things in the basket and were shocked.

After a while, Ding Jin touched it with his hand and asked, "Is this a strawberry?"

Lu San looked at the green leaves in the basket, dug them down and found a flower pot underneath.

He put the cotton away and took out the flowerpot, only to find that it was a potted strawberry plant.

“It’s really a strawberry. There are fruits hanging from the strawberry pot!”

Ding Jin was also very surprised: "I remember that strawberries are ripe in May and June, right? How come there are still fresh strawberries at this time?"

Lu San was also wondering: "I remember that strawberries are also fruits in spring and summer. Judging from the appearance of the strawberry plants, they should have just matured not long ago. Look, the leaves haven't turned yellow yet."

Ding Jin looked at the strawberries and was eager to try: "Could they be ornamental strawberries? They are quite big. Let me try them!"

After saying that, he reached out and plucked off the reddest and largest one and took a bite.

Starry eyes instantly!

"Sweet! Very sweet! Either ornamental strawberries or fruit strawberries!!"

Lu San picked one with some doubt and took a bite. It was indeed very sweet.

"They really are fruit strawberries. Where did Si Nian get them? And he gave us six pots of them?"

Ding Jin was holding the flower pot, eating one fruit at a time, enjoying himself: "I don't know, didn't he say it was a specialty of Liujiawan? Maybe it's a new variety there?"

Lu San looked at the strawberries in his hand, but felt that this matter was not that simple.

Just as I was thinking about it, Director Qian, who was in charge of purchasing at the retirement center, had already arrived.

"Lao Lu! Lao Ding, you are finally here! The old leaders are waiting anxiously. This is the sweater, right?"

Lu San smiled and nodded: "Yes, the sweaters are all here. This year's sweaters are very novel in style. I'm sure the old leader will like them. Take a look."

He pointed at the sack, but found that Director Qian did not move, but stared at the strawberries in his hand.

"Lao Lu, this is a strawberry, right?!"

Lu San smiled and nodded: "Yes, do you want to try it? It's quite sweet."

After saying that, he pointed to the strawberry pot that Ding Jin was holding.

Director Qian looked at the strawberry pot that had been half-ripped from Ding Jin's hand, took a breath of cool air, and snatched away the strawberries, even those that Ding Jin had just plucked from his hand and had not yet had time to eat.

Ding Jin looked at his empty hands, then at Director Qian's painful expression, and was somewhat speechless: "Old Qian, why did you take my things? I still have five basins!"

Lu San, who had already reacted, had no time to stop Ding Jin before he exposed the other five strawberry pots.

Director Qian's eyes lit up. Still holding the flowerpot in his hand, he leaned over to look for the remaining strawberries.

Lu San quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Qian! We are here to give you sweaters. Would you like to take a look at them first? I tell you, this year's sweaters are different. They are two-piece suits!"

Director Qian only had strawberries in his eyes at the moment: "Where is it?! Where is it?! Where is the strawberry!!"

The enthusiastic Lao Ding immediately opened another pot and gave it to him: "Here!"

Director Qian grabbed them with a whoosh and held them tightly in each hand.

He did not let go of the four on the ground either, and quickly ordered the guards beside him: "Quick, pick up the remaining four as well!"

Finished!

Lu San looked at the silly and happy Ding Jin and sighed helplessly: "You stupid dog!"

Ding Jin felt wronged: "What did I do? You called me a stupid dog again!"

Lu San didn't want to pay attention to him, and said to Director Qian beside him: "Old Qian, these are all I have! Just keep them for yourself, and don't tell anyone!"

Director Qian blinked and pouted at the guards who were waiting to get their sweaters: "Maybe not, the leader's guards are watching!"

Lu San looked at the row of guards behind him and felt overwhelmed! !

Just as he was about to say something, the guards all ran into the rest home, and no matter how Lu San shouted at them, they didn't turn back!

Finished!!

Ding Jin, who was standing by, finally realized what had happened. So many leaders, but only six pots...

No!

Five and a half pots of strawberries!!

How to divide this? !

No!

Now they don’t have any pots in their hands, all are in Director Qian’s hands!!

He hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Old Qian! Give me back the strawberries!!"

Director Qian ran away holding the flower pot, and as he ran he asked the guards to run to the rest home.

"Once it's in my hands, it's mine! Just tell me how much it is and I'll give it to you!!"

Ding Jin chased him and shouted, "How can this old guy run so fast?!"

"No! This is given to us as a gift. We won't sell it!"

Director Qian ran out of breath and shouted: "Come on! If you don't sell it, why are you showing off in the rest home?

The old leaders must know about it now! You have no choice but to sell it!

Get in touch quickly, the old leader has asked for it, so you should have it even if you don’t have it!!”

Lu San took a deep breath and pulled Ding Jin to run: "Old Qian! Keep the sweater first, we will talk later!"

Unfortunately, before they could run away, the guards who had just run away came back and surrounded the two of them in an instant!

"Team Leader Lu, our leader wants two pots!"

"Team Leader Lu, our leader wants four pots!"

"Team Leader Lu, our family has many leaders and relatives, we want eight pots!"

. . . . . .

Lu San and Ding Jin, who were surrounded, both turned green in the face.

Lu San looked at Ding Jin: "What did that little bastard say just now?!"

Ding Jin was about to cry: "If he says it's delicious, I can place an order from him next year."

Lu San smiled bitterly: "Next year?! Look at the situation, can we wait until next year?!"

Ding Jin shrank his neck and said, "I can't wait. If I had known, I wouldn't have been dismantling baskets in the rest home!"

Lu San sighed: "The little bastard deliberately gave us the basket in the rest center, just to let you open it in front of them. He had already made up his mind to use the two of us as his living advertisements!"

Ding Jin finally understood everything and gritted his teeth to beat the man!

Lu San held him back and said, "We're going to beat them up, so let's get rid of them first!"

Unfortunately, these guards are not easy to fool and they would not let the two go without an accurate reply.

There was no other choice, Lu San and Ding Jin could only visit each store door by door and explain that strawberries were a specialty of Liujiawan and might be out of stock this year.

The leaders said they wanted to place orders for next year, but they also said they would be happy if they could have a pot of strawberries for the New Year.

Lu San and Ding Jin could only nod reluctantly.

The two of them clearly came to deliver sweaters, but in the end they left with a huge debt of strawberries for some unknown reason.

It was also from this day that Liujiawan winter strawberries officially entered the Beijing city’s vision, and Mingdai and Gu Sinian received a flood of orders for next year’s strawberry potted plants.
