"Sister-in-law, please count and see if it's correct."
"How can I not believe you? No more." He Hongmei took a quick look and said with a smile.
"That won't work. You'd better order it again." Linglong said seriously.
Only then did He Hongmei count the money.
"Yes."
"We've settled the deal." Linglong picked up the box of ginseng, feeling calm.
This treasure, if carefully preserved, can become a family heirloom.
This trip was really worthwhile.
"Yes." He Hongmei smiled, then curiously asked, "Linglong, what side job are you doing?"
"Well, I opened a few shops and did some small business."
You already have several stores, but you still think you're just running a small business? Du Qiang and his wife looked at each other.
"I didn't realize you two are so low-key." Du Qiang put his arm around Zheng Tiansen's neck and teased.
"It's all my wife's business." Zheng Tiansen looked at Linglong gently.
"Oh, time to cook. Look at my brain."
"Pack your things and I'll help my sister-in-law cook." Linglong stuffed the ginseng box into her husband's hands.
Two women were busy and chatting in the kitchen.
Only then did He Hongmei realize that Linglong ran a clothing store.
"No wonder the clothes you wear are so ugly."
"Sister-in-law, if you like it, I'll send you a few more when I pass away."
He Hongmei stroked her hair in a disapproving manner. "That's so disapproving."
"Sister-in-law, since you and Brother Du have treated us like this, I'm just giving you a few sets of clothes. If you don't want them, I won't dare to stay in your house any longer."
"Tut, tut, tut, I want it."
Outside, Zheng Tiansen tidied up the house and sat in front of the stove with Du Qiang, drinking tea and chatting.
Du Qiang asked a few more questions and got to know the approximate scale of Linglong's business.
"You are so lucky, boy." You marry a good wife who is well-educated and can make a lot of money.
For lunch, they did not eat the big fish stewed in an iron pot.
Cornmeal pancakes and pork stewed with sauerkraut and vermicelli are quite delicious.
Nowadays, eating meat is still a luxury for ordinary people.
With a monthly salary, an average person could only eat meat two or three times, and that was only if they had meat coupons.
The pork sold on the black market does not require a ticket, but it is either dead pork or rotten pork, and there is very little raw material.
Even the meat of a slightly inferior quality is in short supply and needs to be snatched up.
Linglong and the others then ate the stewed goose, which still contained large pieces of pork.
Even knowing Du Qiang and He Hongmei's conditions, this was still a high-standard reception.
For many people, what is happiness? Being able to eat meat to their heart's content is the happiest thing.
Although there may have been a shortage of materials in the early 1980s, the overall happiness index of the people was quite high.
Anyway, if everyone is short of money, basically everyone has no money. If you have a city household registration, you will have a job in a large state-owned enterprise, housing, children's schooling, and a hospital. You don't need any extra money.
Everyone's income level is not much different, so having better food is a great happiness.
Maybe there are fewer entertainment options at this time, but the spirit is really good. Maybe people are not so excited and are not under too much pressure.
Knowing this, there will be traders secretly doing business between the two countries.
After dinner, Linglong couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
On the big brother's side, heavy industry has always been developed, while light industry is not so good.
Things like clothes are very popular when they are brought to Big Brother.
Linglong owns a clothing store, and she wants to make money from it.
For example, the jeans that have become popular in Hong Kong and the Special Administrative Region in the past two years are hard currency that can make money when taken to Big Brother.
Not to mention Big Brother, if you can wear jeans and a pair of Li shoes in the mainland, you will definitely be the most eye-catching guy on the street.
If you are a student, you must stand out from the crowd in school.
The price of a pair of jeans is not cheap nowadays. It is a month's or even half a month's salary for many people.
Even though it is so expensive, it is in short supply in today's mainland market and is extremely popular among young people.
Linglong's store only started to get high-end products such as jeans in the second half of this year.
Every time the goods arrive, they are sold out quickly, and some customers even come to ask when they can buy new goods.
It's just that this kind of business is low-risk for small-time traders, as people just need to carry the goods over, but the profit is also small.
If you want to make more money, you have to be a big trader, and the risk factor will continue to rise.
After careful consideration, Linglong decided to bring Du Qiang and his wife into the partnership.
She doesn't have many connections in the Northeast.
There must be people who are profiteers around Du Qiang and his wife.
It would be better for her to earn less and not be a profiteer herself, but she can provide goods to those who are profiteers.
It seems that she has to immediately implement her plan to acquire a clothing factory.
Now she still gets goods like jeans from suppliers in the south, and the quantity is limited but the price is not low.
But if she had her own factory to produce the products, she could lower the cost and ship in large quantities.
In order to get Du Qiang and his wife to do something business together, she discussed it with her husband during their nap.
"Just say what you want. If they're willing and want to make the money, then we can form a partnership. If not, you can ask them to help connect you with other people."
After taking a short rest at noon and waking up from sleep, Du Qiang said he would take them out to visit the famous attractions here.
He Hongmei had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she went along to serve as a tour guide.
The four of them got in the car and set off. In the car, Linglong brought up this matter.
Neither Du Qiang nor He Hongmei are old-fashioned people.
Even if their conditions are already good, they will not have any objection to money.
The cooperation proposed by Linglong is quite interesting.
The couple did not want to risk going to Big Brother and just became bulk cargo traders here.
In fact, if Linglong wanted to do this, she could let Du Qiang and his wife become the source of supply for the traders here.
The few of them hit it off immediately and started chatting enthusiastically.
Capital city.
Linglong and the others have been here for a few days.
Congcong is picked up by his grandfather, Grandpa Deng, after school every day.
After returning home and finishing his homework, he would go to help take care of his younger sister and play with her.
Since mom and dad are not at home, Congcong, as the older brother, feels a great responsibility to take care of his younger sister.
After watching it several times, Zheng's father expressed his feelings to his wife.
"Fortunately, we didn't stop Tiansen back then. Look, An An now has a brother who loves her very much."
"Yes, Congcong made the right decision in adopting him. That Sun guy is really blind."
"If he weren't blind, we'd be in trouble."
"That's right."
Sun Junbei, who is described as "blind", has found out a lot of things.
The specific time when Congcong was adopted, when Zheng Tiansen would marry Linglong, and the time of his job transfer,
How Zheng Tiansen and Linglong adopted Congcong is no secret in the old army.
Sun Jun's information can be easily found.
It was impossible for them to do so, but they adopted a child of unknown origin when they got married.
Did Zheng Tiansen and his wife plan this in advance, or was there some other reason?
Sun Junbei has more and more conspiracies in his mind.
Li Huiru was also busy privately, and secretly learned about the situation of the Wang family.
