Chapter 21 Thoughts



Li Mu thought for a moment and replied, "Someone introduced it to me when we were drinking before, and I remembered it unintentionally."

After hearing what Li Mu said, Lin Wan didn't ask anything.

"Why haven't you taken a shower and rest yet? Are you waiting for me to come back?" Li Mu looked at the dark sky and didn't see any night view worth appreciating, so he asked happily.

Lin Wan replied with an evasive look in her eyes: "Don't think too much. I just couldn't sleep and came out to get some fresh air."

Hearing Lin Wan's answer, Li Mu was a little disappointed, but he still told Lin Wan: "Don't blow it for too long, or you'll catch a cold. I'm going to take a shower first."

Lin Wan nodded, and looked at Li Mu's departing back. Her worried heart instantly calmed down.

I don’t know what’s wrong, but when I think of how Li Mu was injured last time, I feel a little uneasy. Although Li Mu is with Qiangzi this time, I always feel uncomfortable and can’t sleep. Ruoruo happened to be asleep, so I just sit in the yard and wait for Li Mu to come home.

When she saw Li Mu, Lin Wan suppressed the urge to rush forward to take a good look at Li Mu, and pretended to be indifferent, waiting for Li Mu to take the initiative to talk to her.

Although she was talking, Lin Wan's eyes were looking around at Li Mu to see if he was injured. After checking and confirming that he was not injured, Lin Wan did it for a while and then got up and went back to the room.

Li Mu came out of the shower and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Lin Wan in the yard.

...

...

If they were still sitting in the yard, Li Mu would probably persuade Lin Wan to go back to sleep.

After thinking about it carefully, when the two of them were chatting just now, Lin Wan glanced at him from time to time. I must have been waiting for him in the yard because I was worried that he might get hurt. I still felt warm in my heart.

When Li Mu returned to the house and saw the two hundred yuan on the dining table, he was even more moved.

After packing up the money given by Lin Wan, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.

The next day, Li Mu got up before dawn.

Li Mu planned to go to the river to catch a bucket of eels and take it to the county town. The last time they had dinner at a state-owned restaurant, Li Mu had another idea and wanted to sell the eels to the manager there.

This way, there will be an additional channel for the eels to be sold, and there will be no need to worry about selling them.

With this thought in mind, Li Mu walked towards the river with the bucket in his hand. On the way, he met Zhou Qiang who was looking for him.

"Brother, aren't you selling eels today? What are you doing?" Zhou Qiang, with a basket on his back, looked at Li Mu's actions with some confusion.

"You'll know once you get to the county town. Stop watching and come down quickly so we can catch them together. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get to the county town."

Li Mu shouted to Zhou Qiang on the shore.

Although Zhou Qiang was confused, he obediently rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes and went into the water to feel around.

They have been catching eels frequently recently and have caught quite a lot. It took the two of them less than twenty minutes to catch a full bucket.

Zhou Qiang accompanied Li Mu home to get their things, and the two of them got on a bus to the county town.

As soon as they arrived, Zhou Qiang started complaining that he was hungry, so the two of them ate a bowl of plain noodles on the side of the road, which cost 20 cents a bowl.

After eating, Zhou Qiang said to Li Mu with some dissatisfaction from time to time: "Everything is really expensive in the county town. A bowl of noodles costs me 20 cents."

Li Mu replied calmly: "The prices in the county are high, we still need to make more money, we are not making enough now."

Zhou Qiang nodded, agreeing with Li Mu's opinion.

After the two of them ate, they went to the Chinese medicine shop where Li Mu bought Ganoderma lucidum last time without stopping for a moment.

Wang Fuguo looked at the two people who appeared in front of him, feeling somewhat delighted, and thought to himself, "It looks like there's some good stuff coming."

Li Mu looked at Wang Fuguo and said, "Boss Wang, I want to ask what the price of wild Polygonum multiflorum is now?"

"Wild Polygonum multiflorum?" Wang Fuguo looked at Li Mu in shock.

Seeing Li Mu's eyes full of inquiry, he thought to himself: "Who is this kid? He has wild pine and fir Ganoderma lucidum and wild Polygonum multiflorum."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, wild Polygonum multiflorum."

"That depends on the quality." Wang Fuguo stroked his beard and said hesitantly.

Hearing Wang Fuguo say this, Li Mu silently took out the Polygonum multiflorum from the basket on his back and placed it in front of Wang Fuguo. Wang Fuguo's eyes lit up. The quality was pretty good, and most importantly, it was fresh.

I picked them up and weighed them, and the three together weighed about ten kilograms.

Wang Fuguo thought about it and said, "Five hundred yuan for three people."

After hearing the price, Li Mu thought about it and nodded without any hesitation to show his agreement. I know that Wang Fuguo is giving a fair price.

Zhou Qiang saw Li Mu take out three black things, and he was confused. He thought, "What's going on? Is this Polygonum multiflorum? Why didn't I see it? When did you dig it?"

Li Mu ignored Zhou Qiang's gaze, picked up his backpack and took out the three Ganoderma lucidum from the backpack. These three were not very big.

"This one is for three. It's not as big as the one you brought last time, but the quality is good. I can give you a price of around fifteen hundred at most. What do you think?"

When Wang Fuguo saw what Li Mu took out, he nodded in appreciation and said.

"Okay, these are two thousand in total." Li Mu nodded, indicating that he agreed to the price.

Zhou Qiang looked at Li Mu and was about to speak, but Li Mu stopped him with a look.

Wang Fuguo readily took out two stacks of big unity from the counter, handed them to Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Young man, if you have anything good, just send it to me. I will take them all."

Li Mu lowered his head and counted. When he got the number right, he raised his head and raised his eyebrows to show his agreement.

After the two came out of the Chinese medicine shop, Zhou Qiang couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Brother, didn't you pick a Ganoderma lucidum? Why don't you sell it?"

"I won't sell it. I'll keep it for Xiaowan and her daughter. When the time comes, you can give your half back to grandma. Do you hear me?" Li Mu said with joy on his face when he thought of his wife and daughter.

"I understand. What are we going to do now?" Zhou Qiang nodded and said.

Li Mu didn't say anything. Zhou Qiang followed Li Mu all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative. Li Mu gave Zhou Qiang fifteen hundred yuan. He used the remaining five hundred yuan to buy several packs of high-end cigarettes.

Then he walked to the back alley of the state-owned hotel and waited quietly.

It was not until a chef wearing a chef's hat appeared in the back alley that Li Mu walked over casually with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Is there fire?" Li Mu said to the kitchen chef.

The man with the chef's hat frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled, but still answered Li Mu's question, "Yes."

"Can I borrow a light, big brother?" Li Mu said, then took out a Zhonghua cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

The man took the cigarette and lit it. Then he threw the fire to Li Mu.

Zhou Qiang saw Li Mu skillfully light a cigarette and start chatting with the man.
