Chapter 361 One Thousand Yuan
Gu Cheng's arm and shoulder have almost recovered, but it will take a hundred days to heal a broken bone.
The doctor said that the plaster cannot be removed yet, and even if it is removed, I will have to rest for a while.
I don't care about the money at home.
No matter what Liu Yinyin wanted to buy, he would not stop her.
"If the cash is not enough, I will borrow some more," said Gu Cheng.
Liu Yinyin packed up the 185 big group photos and put them into a box.
"That should be enough..."
No matter how precious wild ginseng is, the prices are low right now.
If Brother Liu's friend asks for a lot of money, Liu Yinyin will not be taken advantage of.
At worst, I can go back to Qing City and ask Aqiang to help me find out where wild ginseng is for sale.
Gu Cheng skipped the topic and talked to Liu Yinyin about something else: "Don't you want to go back home for the New Year?"
Liu Yinyin put the cash box into the cabinet and said without looking up: "I do want to go back. What's wrong?"
Gu Cheng continued, "When the weather gets better, let's go back home together."
His hand is not fully healed yet, so he won't be able to go to work in the army for a while.
There is still about half a month before the Chinese New Year.
During this time, it’s a good opportunity to take Liu Yinyin and her son back home to celebrate the New Year.
If you go back earlier, you can stay a few more days.
Liu Yinyin was delighted when she heard this: "...Okay, we'll go back when the weather gets better."
After staying on the island for a long time, Liu Yinyin also wanted to go out for a walk.
The New Year is coming soon, it would be nice to go back and visit. I wonder how my family is doing now.
As for the work at the supply and marketing cooperative...if the cooperative is open, she will ask for leave.
If she can't hire someone, Liu Yinyin will find someone to cover for her for a month.
Brother Liu and his friends arrived quite early.
Before Liu Yinyin's family started eating lunch, two people came to their door.
Brother Liu’s friend is not very old, only about thirty years old, tall and thin, and his name is Qin Dahua.
It was Qin Dahua's first time visiting the family compound and he felt quite restrained.
Especially after seeing Gu Cheng, I felt a little scared.
Liu Yinyin smiled slightly and asked them to sit down: "Have a drink of water first..."
After a few pleasantries, we got down to business.
Liu Yinyin smiled and asked, "Comrade Qin, I heard that you have wild ginseng to sell?"
Qin Dahua breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be calm, "There are two wild ginsengs, they are quite old and very valuable."
Liu Yinyin was worried that Qin Dahua would ask for too much, and Qin Dahua was also worried that she would take advantage of her power to bully others and not give her the money.
The two wild ginsengs in his hands were not hundreds of years old, but at least fifty or sixty years old.
According to the black market price, two pieces of wild ginseng like this can be sold for at least one thousand yuan.
Wild ginseng is something that can save lives. Rich people like it, so it is impossible not to sell it.
So...the money Liu Yinyin gave was too little.
He definitely can't sell it because he didn't dig the wild ginseng.
If he sold it at a low price, he wouldn't be able to explain to his family.
Liu Yinyin did not ask the price immediately. What she valued was the quality of the wild ginseng. If the quality was really good, money would not be a problem.
"Comrade Qin, can you let me take a look at the wild ginseng first?"
Qin Dahai agreed. He originally came to discuss the transaction and he brought wild ginseng with him.
Carefully take out the tightly packed wild ginseng from the bag and open it...
Liu Yinyin took a look and found that the wild ginseng was quite large, with complete roots and roots, and it looked to be quite old.
With a thought, Liu Yinyin asked the system in her heart...it is indeed a good ginseng.
She also had no intention of selling the wild ginseng to the system. This precious medicinal material that could save lives at critical moments should be kept for emergency use.
Liu Yinyin was quite satisfied and asked him directly: "Comrade Qin, how much are these two wild ginsengs?"
Qin Dahua thought for a moment and said, "A piece of wild ginseng costs at least 500 yuan."
He was not as demanding as a lion. Qin Dahua had helped people in his hometown sell wild ginseng two or three times.
For wild ginseng of this vintage, five hundred yuan per piece is already the lowest price.
Moreover, Qin Dahua did not dare to cheat in front of a military officer like Gu Cheng.
One is 500 yuan, two is 1,000 yuan.
This price is within Liu Yinyin's acceptable range.
Liu Yinyin glanced at Gu Cheng, and he had no objection either.
Without any bargaining, Liu Yinyin went directly to the room and took out one thousand yuan for Qin Dahua to buy two wild ginsengs.
And I told him: "If you have good stuff like this in the future, you can consider selling it to me again."
Liu Yinyin is not too satisfied with having good wild ginseng, she also wants other precious medicinal herbs.
Qin Dahua was surprised: "...You still want to buy it? Wild ginseng is good, but you can't take too much, just a few tablets at a time!"
Two wild ginsengs...will last a long time.
Liu Yinyin made up an excuse: "Soldiers are easily injured. We may sell them to other people in need."
Qin Dahua immediately said, "If I find something good later, I will definitely sell it to you first."
Soldiers defend their country and they need medicinal materials more than ordinary people.
After selling everything, Qin Dahua wanted to leave.
Liu Yinyin asked Brother Liu to stay and have lunch at home, as it was quite troublesome for him to cook by himself.
There was nothing good to eat at home, so for lunch, Liu Yinyin prepared roast duck with young ginger, braised dried shrimps, scrambled eggs, fried taro shreds, and dried scallop and winter melon soup...
Gu Cheng was talking to Brother Liu in the living room.
"Brother-in-law..." Having not seen Gu Cheng for a while, Brother Liu was also quite scared, "How is your injury?"
Gu Cheng poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's nothing. It will be fine after a while."
Brother Liu: “…”
The atmosphere was frozen for a moment, and the two grown men had nothing to talk about.
After a moment of silence, Gu Cheng took the initiative to say, "The weather has improved. Soon, the boats to Qing City should resume sailing. Then, Yinyin and I will go back to our hometown to celebrate the New Year."
"......Are you going back to celebrate the New Year?" Brother Liu was quite surprised.
Gu Cheng nodded slightly: "I just happen to be free, so I'll go back and see my family."
He had already talked to Brother Liu two days ago, and Brother Liu had saved up half a month's vacation.
There is a high probability that I will go back with them to celebrate the New Year.
Brother Liu was a little embarrassed and said, "I...I work in a state-owned hotel, and I don't know if I can get leave by then. If not...I'm afraid I can't go back with you."
He is different from Brother Liu Er. He doesn't want to go home as much as Brother Liu Er.
In Brother Liu's mind, it's nice and comfortable to live alone on the island.
In fact, if he really wanted to go back, there was no way he couldn't get leave.
Gu Cheng saw through it but didn't say anything. He just said, "If you need any help, just let me know."
"It's time to eat..."
Liu Yinyin brought the food to the table and asked them to eat.
