Chapter 563: Preparing for the New Year (Part 4)
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to respond, so she looked in the direction of the purchasing station. When she saw that there was no one in front of the purchasing station, she immediately said to her second sister: "Second sister, let's go faster. There is no one in the purchasing station now."
When the second sister heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she immediately quickened her pace, but even though they were already very fast, there were still two people who arrived earlier than them.
"Xiaoxiao, thank you for waiting here with me for a while." The second sister said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"It's okay, there are only two of us, it will be our turn soon."
"Um."
"Although your ginseng is fifty years old, because you broke a lot of its whiskers when you dug it, the highest purchase price for this ginseng is only eighty yuan."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the word "ginseng", she walked forward to take a look. Then she thought to herself that the ginseng was obviously almost a hundred years old, but the people at the purchasing station said it was fifty years old. That was really unfair. Also, the ginseng only had three or four whiskers broken off. Even if the price was lower, it shouldn't be eighty yuan. It seemed that this purchasing station was really a fraudulent station.
"Xiaoxiao, I didn't expect that such a small ginseng is worth so much money." The second sister said after hearing what the buyer said.
"Ginseng is a precious medicinal herb, so it's not surprising that it's expensive."
"It would be great if I could find ginseng when I was digging for medicinal herbs, so that my family could build a house this year."
"Ginseng is not that easy to find. Many people may not be able to find a ginseng in their entire life. But I know what ginseng leaves look like. I will draw them for you when I go back."
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao. If I can find ginseng, I will treat you to a feast at the state-owned restaurant."
"I'm looking forward to your feast." Lu Xiaoxiao said with a smile after hearing her second sister's words.
"Some people really don't know their place. They want to dig ginseng before their hair has even grown fully. It's really funny." Mao San said sarcastically after hearing the conversation between Lu Xiaoxiao and his second sister.
Lu Xiaoxiao sneered when she heard what Mao San said, "The leader said that as long as you dare to grow and dare to do it, you will reap rewards. Are you questioning what the leader said just now?"
Mao San was so frightened after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said that he broke out in a cold sweat. Then he said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "I didn't question what the leader said. I just said those nonsense because I was having a brain twitch. I'm sorry."
After hearing what Mao San said, Lu Xiaoxiao said, "I accept your apology."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Mao San immediately ran away in shame. He was afraid that if he ran too slowly, Lu Xiaoxiao would regret letting him go so easily.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you just let him go like that?" The second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao as she watched Mao San leave.
"We are here to buy New Year's goods today, so let's not waste time arguing with him." Lu Xiaoxiao replied after hearing her second sister's words.
"You're right. If you hadn't let him go, this could have really taken a long time."
"Second sister, it's your turn, go sell the bamboo baskets."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister turned around and saw that it was really her turn, so she immediately pulled the bamboo baskets to the purchasing station clerk and said, "I want to sell these sixteen bamboo baskets."
"One bamboo basket is five cents, sixteen bamboo baskets are eighty cents." The buyer pointed at the second sister's baskets and handed the money to her.
