Gu Wei's fragile little heart was hit again.
If this century-old wild ginseng is genuine, he'd definitely make a fortune selling it!
"Grandpa Liu, how would you like to change it?"
Liu Shouyi chuckled and stroked his goatee, saying in a hoarse, aged voice, "You can change it as you see fit."
Gu Wei: "..."
The old man actually told him to watch over the replacement.
However, with Uncle Zhao and his group bartering before, it wouldn't look good to do it too much.
"Would those two watches be okay?"
"Sure! Ideally, there should be one men's watch and one women's watch, one for my wife and one for my grandson."
The old man was quite happy and cheerfully took the two watches back into his house.
This made Gu Wei feel a little sorry for him.
I'm thinking of finding an opportunity to make it up to them later.
The next day, when Gu Wei went to the Zhao family's house, he found that there were already many people inside and outside the house, making it very lively.
It turned out that the relatives and friends who received the letter had arrived.
When her younger brother got married, Zhao's three daughters received the news and came over one after another.
Zhao Dajiang gave them a brief introduction.
Gu Wei also gained a more detailed understanding of the family's situation.
The eldest daughter, Zhao Zhenghong, married into the neighboring village. The son, Qiao Jinlong, is four years old.
The second daughter, Zhao Zhengli, married into another forest farm. She also has a son, two years old, named Lin Ziqiang.
The third daughter, Zhao Zhengying, married down the mountain but has not yet had children.
Everyone knows that Zhao Zhengyuan's marriage was settled so quickly because of those two watches, so while they treated Gu Wei with respect, some people also had their own ideas about getting the watches.
But Gu Wei rarely revealed his thoughts.
Because exchanging things secretly in private might not be a big deal, but buying and selling with money is a different story.
What if he's convicted of speculation and profiteering and arrested? Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?
Moreover, even if you're going to sell, you have to sell to a stranger like the one you met at the foot of the mountain that day. You can't find him anywhere, so even if he wanted to do something bad, it wouldn't work.
The day before the wedding.
Gu Wei originally wanted to help out.
But many people from the forest farm's residential area came to help.
Besides, Zhao Dajiang and his family were extremely grateful to him, so they couldn't possibly let him do any work.
So, Gu Wei became the leader of the children, leading a group of little boys and girls to run and play outside the gate.
Gu Wei noticed that most people gave a few yuan as a gift, with five yuan considered a substantial gift.
Gu Wei really likes Zhao Dajiang and the others, and they will definitely visit each other often in the future.
In the end, he didn't give any money, but secretly gave Zhao Zhengyuan a watch.
This made Zhao Zhengyuan extremely happy and grateful.
He asked cautiously, "Brother Gu, how come you have so many watches? Are you in the business of trading them?"
Gu Wei did not deny it: "I guess so, I just happen to know someone from the watch factory."
Zhao Zhengyuan looked at him with admiration and envy: "Brother Gu, you're amazing!"
Gu Wei said casually, "It's alright, just don't make a fuss about it."
Zhao Zhengyuan quickly raised his hand to assure him, "I understand. Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone. I'll wear this watch after the wedding, a while later."
Gu Wei had no concerns about him.
However, this is an obvious matter and cannot be hidden.
"There's no need to wait a while. You should wear yours. Just don't tell people I deal in watches."
Zhao Zhengyuan nodded solemnly: "Okay, I know what to do."
Zhao Dajiang and his group couldn't possibly be unaware of such a great thing.
Soon, they all secretly expressed their boundless gratitude to Gu Wei.
Weddings in this era were extremely simple.
The banquet was also held in a corner of their own yard, where a few stoves and pots were set up.
On the day itself, borrowed tables, chairs, benches, plates, bowls, and chopsticks were set up in the house and yard.
The head chef was a burly middle-aged man.
In an era where everyone around him was thin, he stood out remarkably and appeared quite prosperous.
The master chef skillfully fries, stir-fries, and cooks, then serves bowls of dishes.
There are people specifically in charge of plating.
Then the person serving the food uses a long tray to deliver it to each table.
It's rare to eat meat on a regular basis, so if you finally get a seat at a banquet, you have to be incredibly skilled with your chopsticks. If you're too late, you might miss out on the food you want.
Gu Wei truly experienced the joy of attending a banquet decades ago.
I have to say, food that everyone's fighting over tastes the best!
After a satisfying meal, we were full and had plenty of food and drink.
Gu Wei did not intend to stay any longer, and would not participate in the wedding night pranks.
He was carrying a large bottle of tiger penis wine in his arms and had a cloth bag hanging on his arm. Zhao Dajiang and his family reluctantly saw him off onto a minibus with a ticket price of eight cents.
Gu Wei closed his eyes contentedly, enjoying the cool breeze outside the car window, and pondered some questions.
He gained the ability to travel between two time periods, bringing antiques, jade, medicinal herbs, and other items from the 1980s to the modern era to sell, easily becoming rich and achieving financial freedom.
However, to help Uncle Zhao's family, who have been kind to us, to improve their lives, we must consider their actual circumstances.
Gu Wei savored the taste of the food he had eaten, and a vague idea popped into his mind.
He believes he is not the only one who misses the flavors of vegetables and fruits from his childhood.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons such as seeds, fertilizers, and planting environment, it is now difficult to find the original taste.
If these natural and organic foods were brought to a modern restaurant, it would not only provide another way to make money, but also give him a place to eat with peace of mind, and allow Uncle Zhao and his family to benefit as well. It would be a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
The minibus stopped abruptly at the station at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Wei also got off the bus with the flow of people.
