The warehouse behind the department store is the recycling station here. The person in charge is called Lao Li. His daily work is to check and receive the goods, and then sort the received items.
Although the work is not easy, it is very lucrative and there are many places where I can do some small things myself.
There were not many people around at noon. He had just taken a short break when he saw people coming. They looked like a family.
"Are you... here to ship the goods?" Old Li asked hesitantly. What are you doing here with nothing in your hands?
"No." The social thug Su Aimin walked over and took out two cigarettes and handed them over. "Brother, we want to see what you have here. If you have anything good, I'll trade with you."
As for what to exchange, naturally those who understand will understand.
Old Li took the cigarette naturally, but said, "I'm just collecting some mountain products. What good things can they be? If you want to buy good things, you've come to the wrong place. You should go to the department store in front."
Su Aimin smiled and said, "Brother, let's be frank. We all know that you have a lot of things here and a wide range of channels. You must have good things. I don't want anything else. It's just that an elderly person at home is sick, and I want to see if you have any good medicinal herbs here."
"Medicinal herbs? Then you have to go to the pharmacy and ask. I don't have any here." Old Li still looked calm and refused to give in.
Qin Ying smiled and said, "Brother, please help me. My father has a back injury, so he wants to buy some good herbs to make wine."
Old Li took a puff of his cigarette and said nothing.
Su Qingyun gritted his teeth, and in an instant, his face was filled with worry, tears in his eyes, and his voice was filled with tears. "Uncle, my grandfather injured his waist while doing farm work. His previous injury on the battlefield has not healed, and now it is even more serious. If you have any medicinal herbs for this, please sell them to us."
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were amazed at how quickly their daughter's expression changed.
Old Li frowned and finally said, "Was your grandfather a soldier?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun raised his head proudly, "My grandfather was not only a soldier, but also a hero who had made great contributions on the battlefield."
Lao Li hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Come with me."
Qin Ying and Su Aimin were overjoyed.
Su Qingyun's tone was joyful, "Thank you, uncle!"
Old Li took the three people into a small warehouse. It was not big and there were not many things in it. There was a several-layer high shelf. Old Li took a small box from it, opened it and handed it to everyone.
"I only have this kind of old mountain ginseng here. You're lucky. I just bought it from a farmer yesterday and was about to send it to the herbal medicine shop."
The three of them were delighted and immediately went closer to take a look. Inside the box was a wild ginseng with thick roots still covered in soil, and the fresh fragrance of the ginseng wafted into the air.
The three of them were overjoyed. They didn't expect that they could find such a good wild ginseng so easily. Fortunately, they arrived in time. If they had sent it to the pharmacy, not to mention that the effect of the processed ginseng after soaking in wine would not be as good as fresh ginseng, the price would also increase several times.
Qin Ying immediately asked, "Brother, how do we buy this wild ginseng? We want it."
Old Li said slowly: "This wild ginseng is not cheap, it costs this much."
He made a two.
Su Aimin hesitated, "Twenty...twenty?"
Old Li rolled his eyes. "Two hundred! What do you mean twenty? Are you thinking you're buying grass?"
"Two hundred, no negotiation."
"Two hundred!" Su Aimin's eyes widened instantly and he screamed, "Two hundred yuan for this tree root?!" This is more expensive than a bicycle!
"What tree root? Wild ginseng, do you know what it is?" Old Li rolled his eyes even wider. "I collected 180 yuan from it, and I only made 20 yuan from you."
"I only offered this price because you guys said the old man is a veteran hero who's been on the battlefield. It depends on whether you want it or not, right?"
Su Aimin touched his nose. He really didn't know the value of it. In his opinion, it was no different from the tree roots on the mountain.
Although Su Qingyun is not a medical student, he still has some good eyesight. This wild ginseng is at least twenty or thirty years old and is hard to come by. They definitely made a profit at this price.
Qin Ying had seen the world after all, and she knew that the price was indeed not exaggerated. However, when she thought of so much money, she was still a little hesitant and couldn't help but look at Su Aimin.
Su Aimin felt his pocket and found that he had enough money for today.
After thinking about it, he nodded, "We want it!"
Since everyone says it’s a good thing, just buy it. After all, it’s a way to honor the elders, so the money is worth it.
When Old Li heard this, his eyes widened. To be honest, he had never thought that these people could casually take out two hundred yuan to buy wild ginseng. He just wanted to open their eyes and saw it, but he didn't expect them to be so straightforward. It seemed that they were rich people.
Since he had decided to take it, Su Aimin didn't hesitate and took out the money from his pocket and gave it to him.
Old Li counted the money and said, "You guys are making a profit by buying this wild ginseng at this price. If you go to a pharmacy, they might not sell it to you even if you pay at least fifty more."
He was right. Although it seemed that he only earned 20 yuan from this transaction, which was almost a worker's monthly salary, other people did not have the channels and ways to receive these things, so Su Aimin and his friends still made the profit.
The three of them paid the money and happily left with the wild ginseng.
Qin Ying opened the box and took another look, feeling a little worried. "The dirt on it has dried up. Will the ginseng be dehydrated by the time we send it?"
The dehydrated ginseng is not as good as the fresh one when used to make wine.
