Wang Cuilan’s village, Xinghua Village, is not far from the county town. It takes more than 40 minutes to walk to the town, and then more than an hour’s bus ride to the county town.
After arriving in the county town, Wang Cuilan did not go to the purchasing station first, but went to the county hospital.
She found her cousin Wang Guoshuang, who worked as a nurse in the hospital, and asked her, "Sister Shuang, is your hospital selling honeysuckle and motherwort recently?"
Wang Guoshuang didn't care about it. She said to Wang Cuilan, "Find a place to sit and wait for a while. I'll go ask Doctor Li for you."
She felt a little worried when she was about to leave, so she stopped and asked Wang Cuilan: "Can you do it here alone? Do you want me to..." Find someone to accompany you?
Before she could finish her words, Wang Cuilan waved her hand and said, "Sister Shuang, go ahead. I can do it on my own!"
She is not a child anymore, why does she need someone to accompany her?
"That's fine!"
Seeing Wang Cuilan's persistence, Wang Guoshuang smiled, no longer hesitated, and went to find someone in a hurry.
After a while, Wang Guoshuang came back, followed by an old lady about fifty years old.
Judging from the address, this old lady is the Dr. Li that my cousin mentioned just now.
Before she could even say hello, Dr. Li said as soon as he saw Wang Cuilan, "Xiao Shuang told me you have fresh honeysuckle and motherwort?"
Wang Cuilan glanced at Wang Guoshuang calmly, and after getting her nod, she smiled and said, "Aunt, I have some fresh honeysuckle and motherwort here, but the quantity is small. Do you think this is enough?"
As she spoke, Wang Cuilan took off the nylon bag on the backpack, revealing fresh honeysuckle and motherwort for Dr. Li to check.
Doctor Li is an expert and can tell the quality of this batch of honeysuckle and motherwort at a glance.
She nodded with satisfaction. "The quality is okay, but the quantity is a bit small."
She complained casually.
Wang Cuilan immediately responded, "Auntie, how much honeysuckle and motherwort do you need? I'll bring them to you tomorrow, okay?"
Hearing this, Dr. Li glanced at Wang Cuilan and said with a half-smile: "You are really good at seizing opportunities, little girl!"
Wang Cuilan smiled shyly and said nothing more.
But she was muttering in her heart, if she didn't have the ability to take advantage of opportunities, wouldn't she have been bullied to death when dealing with those ladies in her previous life?
Few of those ladies are easy to deal with.
Wang Cuilan said nothing, and Doctor Li didn't care. She said, "I need about 200 kilograms of honeysuckle and motherwort each. You'd better hurry..."
Doctor Li paused as she spoke. She looked Wang Cuilan's small body up and down and sighed, "Forget it. I'm not in a hurry. Just send it to me in the next few days."
Wang Cuilan responded, but she was thinking in her heart that although Doctor Li said that she didn't need the herbs urgently, it would be better for the herbs to be delivered as soon as possible, otherwise she would always feel uneasy about this matter.
This time, Wang Cuilan carried a total of 25 kilograms of honeysuckle and 12 kilograms of motherwort to the county, and sold them for a total of 5.07 yuan.
Honeysuckle costs 15 cents per pound, and motherwort costs 11 cents per pound.
Normally, fresh honeysuckle and motherwort cannot be sold at such a price, but Dr. Li said that fresh honeysuckle and motherwort are hard to buy now, so she directly set the price to the same as that of dried honeysuckle and motherwort.
Dr. Li was very busy, so after the matter was finalized, she left quickly.
Looking at her agile figure, Wang Cuilan showed envy: "Doctor Li is in great health!"
Wang Guoshuang echoed, "That's right. Even at Dr. Li's age, she can still chase her grandson around the family compound with a stick for several laps without even taking a breath!"
Thinking of her own deceased mother, Wang Cuilan's expression was sad. She said, "This is good!"
"Huh?" Wang Guoshuang didn't catch up with her sister's train of thought for a moment. "What's good?"
"Nothing!" Wang Cuilan didn't want to bring up the topic. She smiled and raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of pride and satisfaction. "Sister Shuang, when will you get off work? I made some money today, so I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."
Wang Guoshuang smiled and glared at her: "Come on, the two dollars you earned today are not enough for you to squander, and you still want to treat me to a meal?"
"I think you should come to my house for lunch today! My father-in-law went on a business trip to Guangcheng a few days ago and brought back a lot of dried seafood. Can I make lunch for him?"
When Wang Cuilan heard Sister Shuang inviting her to her home, she originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that there were seafood, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva and wanted to eat!
It’s strange to say, Wang Cuilan is obviously an inland person, but she loves to eat seafood and has no resistance to it.
Wang Guoshuang took advantage of Wang Cuilan's weakness and said with a smile, "How about coming to my house?"
You've made me drool, and now you're asking me if I want to go to your house?
Isn't this obvious?
Wang Cuilan looked at Wang Guoshuang with resentment in her eyes and said in a low voice, "Sister Shuang, do you think I have any other choice?"
Wang Guoshuang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. She patted Wang Cuilan's shoulder and said helplessly: "You~"
What a foodie, he is now controlled by a mouthful of food!
What a promising future!
They had a tacit understanding since childhood, so even if Wang Guoshuang didn't explain it clearly, Wang Cuilan still understood.
She rolled her eyes silently and defended herself righteously: "I just happen to like it."
I’m not a real foodie like Xiangxiang!
Wang Guoshuang nodded with a smile, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not a foodie!"
Wang Cuilan held her forehead.
Sister Shuang, if you just want to deal with me, at least pretend to be decent!
I feel helpless when you do this!
Should I pretend I didn't notice? Or should I pretend I didn't notice?
