Chapter 210 The Man Who Came in a Jeep
"Caiyun, how do you think you did on the test this time?"
While driving the carriage, Lin Heng asked with a smile.
Caiyun looked at Lin Heng, blinked and said, "I can't guarantee a full score, but I'm confident it will be over 90."
Hearing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Are you confident enough? I'm looking forward to it. If you do well in the exam, I'll give you a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year."
"Then you get to give this big red envelope, second brother." Caiyun giggled. She was working hard all the time to be able to go back to school.
"I've been waiting." Lin Heng smiled and sped up the carriage.
Half an hour later, they arrived at Huangtan Town. At this time, the golden sun had just come out, spreading its warm light to the world.
Lin Heng sent Caiyun to the school gate, then drove the carriage back to the store.
“Brother Lin!”
Wang Zhou is a dedicated person and gets up very early even on days when it is not a market day.
Recently, I have been exercising with Grandpa Gao, and when I have nothing to do, I will read the books that Lin Heng left in the store.
"How are you handling your affairs? What did your parents say?"
Lin Heng walked into the house and asked while warming his hands.
Wang Zhou responded with a smile on his face: "Just like what you said, Brother Lin, my parents immediately cancelled the marriage when they heard this and let me decide for myself. They said they don't care anymore."
This result was not unexpected by Lin Heng. He was given such an easy job and could earn 20 yuan a month. In order to keep this job, he would not have any problem rejecting five or ten marriage proposals, let alone one.
"That's good." Lin Heng nodded and asked, "How are you and Liu Cihua doing? Is there any progress?"
Wang Zhou seemed a little shy when talking about this: "It's almost time, just hold hands."
Lin Heng was a little surprised. He thought this guy was so timid that he didn't even dare to pull someone's hand. Now it seems that he is quite brave.
Lin Heng nodded and said, "Then you can decide for yourself. If it's appropriate, find a time to propose marriage."
"Yeah, I'm thinking about it."
Wang Zhou nodded.
The room fell silent for a while. Lin Heng warmed his hands. Grandpa Gao came back from the vegetable garden and picked some green vegetables. Seeing Lin Heng, he smiled and asked, "Can I cook yours too?"
"Okay, thank you, sir."
Lin Heng didn't say anything polite, even though he had already eaten.
After chatting with Grandpa Gao, Lin Heng returned to the main topic and looked at Wang Zhou and said, "Since the car hasn't arrived, let's check the accounts first. It's almost the New Year."
"good."
Wang Zhou stood up and went to the counter with Lin Heng.
Lin Heng first looked at the account book, and then looked at the goods.
There are fewer mountain products recently, and what is stockpiled in the house are several medicinal herbs such as turmeric and epimedium that Lin Hengrang left behind. The prices of these things will go up a bit next year, so he is stockpiling them to make money.
Lin Heng did not take away the money the store earned in the last two months, and left it all here.
He counted the money in the drawer, a total of 1,330.5 yuan, the change he had put there was 500 yuan, minus the 300 yuan cost of selling goods. In other words, the profit from selling goods and collecting mountain goods in the past two months was 500 yuan.
Lin Heng was quite satisfied with the harvest.
Even though Liu Qicheng has already gone in, he still sells mountain products in the same way as when he first opened the business. He uses word of mouth and ties it up with the convenience store, and his annual profit is quite a bit.
But Lin Heng doesn't really care about this. It's just a bottom-line option. The real way to make money is breeding.
Time soon passed and it was already past nine o'clock. Caiyun came back after collecting her report card.
"Brother, look what this is!"
Caiyun walked into the room and handed a certificate to Lin Heng.
"A three-good student, awesome."
Lin Heng gave a thumbs up, this was the best certificate.
"Here, this is the report card."
Caiyun handed the report card to Lin Heng again. She was happier to get Lin Heng's recognition than her parents'.
Lin Heng picked it up and took a look. Just as Caiyun said, each of the eight subjects scored above 90 points, and mathematics even achieved a full score.
This surprised Lin Heng. Was Caiyun such a good student in his memory? He couldn't remember clearly. In his previous life, he didn't pay much attention to Caiyun when she was in elementary school. He only remembered that she won two certificates of merit.
Lin Heng gave a thumbs up again: "That's amazing! You've already got first place, right?"
Wang Zhou next to him was also shocked. Such good results were out of reach for him when he was in junior high school. No matter how hard he tried, he didn't do well enough in the exams. He was even worse than Lin Heng, who didn't study much.
He also agreed: "It's definitely number one, who can compare to this."
Caiyun shook her head helplessly: "It's the second place. The first place is Liu Ciwen. He is three points higher than me."
"That's about right." Wang Zhou laughed.
Caiyun gritted her teeth and said, "I will definitely surpass him next semester."
Lin Heng was also a little surprised by this result, but he could understand it after thinking about it.
Then Lin Heng asked about the results of other people. From the third place onwards, the performance dropped sharply. Caiyun and Liu Ciwen were both at a disadvantage.
This made Lin Heng believe that Caiyun also had a talent for learning. Some people are just talented in these areas. Even if they were in a bad school or there were not many teachers to teach them, they could learn by themselves.
It is also a good thing for Lin Heng that Caiyun is talented, which means that his family will soon be able to cultivate an outstanding genius.
When my business grows bigger and Caiyun is about to graduate, she can come to the company to help.
Our own people are definitely more reliable than outsiders hired with money.
"By the way, second brother, Teacher Guo Xu asked you to go to school. He won't leave until the afternoon." At this time, Caiyun remembered this and spoke.
"I understand." Lin Heng knew that the buyer of ginseng should be found, but he didn't know the specific situation.
At this time, Grandpa Gao brought out a bowl of rice and said, "The rice is ready. Go and scoop some to eat. Please don't be surprised if I can't cook."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Lin Heng didn't hesitate and stood up and walked inside.
Before he had taken a few steps, he suddenly heard the roar of an engine outside. Lin Heng turned his head and saw a truck parked outside.
The driver turned out to be the wholesaler Li Chengguo.
"Hello, Boss Li!"
Lin Heng hurriedly walked out and greeted him with a smile.
"Long time no see."
Li Chengguo shook Lin Heng's hand firmly and smiled: "This time I brought you a lot of things for the New Year."
“That’s a good feeling.”
Lin Heng said with a smile.
After pouring a cup of tea for Li Chengguo and lighting a fire for a while, everyone went to unload the goods.
This time the payment was a full 500 yuan, and a large batch of goods was replenished. If it weren't for the New Year, there would be no need to replenish so much goods.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there will be a big wave of consumption.
After paying the full amount, Lin Heng looked at Li Chengguo and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted wild yam? My eldest brother dug four or five hundred kilograms. Do you want some?"
"Yes, how about 40 cents per pound?" Li Chengguo said with a smile.
Lin Heng was immediately unhappy: "Lao Li, how about this, I'll take you to the mountain to experience how difficult it is to dig yam, and then we can talk about the price."
Li Chengguo burst out laughing: "How much money do you want?"
Lin Heng held up five fingers: "Fifty cents."
Li Chengguo was helpless: "We are old friends. Your price is really too high. I can't make any profit if I take it down."
Lin Hengcai didn't fall for it. The medicinal effect of this wild yam was so good that it was in great demand in the city. People would even buy it at the price of pork.
In the end, Li Chengguo still didn't win against Lin Heng. He waved his hands helplessly and said, "Your brother can sell this batch at this price. If you buy another batch for me, you must sell it to me at 40 cents, otherwise it will be a big loss."
"Haha, this is at least 45 cents. Let's go, you can go to my house."
Lin Heng waved his hand. The normal price for wild yam in the town was 30 cents per pound, so he could make 15 cents by buying them.
Although he asks for a high price, this thing is actually easy to sell in the city. There are many rich people who like this kind of real mountain products, and the price of pork is not difficult to sell.
Letting Caiyun stay here to help sort the goods, Lin Heng rode Li Chengguo's truck all the way back to Hongfeng Village.
Lin Heng went back and called his eldest brother and father, and they hurriedly moved their yams to the road.
Li Chengguo was still there checking and weighing each bag. He felt a little embarrassed after the check because there was nothing bad at all.
Lin Heng's father and elder brother are both honest people, and they have picked out all the bad ones in the house.
After weighing them, Lin's father's yam weighed 120 kilograms, and Lin Yue's weighed 480 kilograms.
In the end, one person got 60 yuan and the other got 240 yuan.
"Brother, it's really thanks to you. Thank you so much." Lin Yue said with a simple smile while holding the money.
"Yes, Lin Heng, you are so capable." Liu Juan also had a smile on her face. If it weren't for Lin Heng, it would have been impossible to sell it at this price.
Father Lin slapped his thigh in annoyance and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have gone to the mountains to dig more."
"Haha, it's okay. I'll give you a red envelope for the New Year."
Lin Heng grinned.
After chatting for a while, Lin Heng took Li Chengguo's ride back to Huangtan Town.
After arriving at Huangtan Town, Lin Heng went directly to school. This time he bought a gift worth about fifty yuan and gave it to teacher Guo Xu.
"Why are you carrying things with you? I'm not asking for you because I need these things from you." Guo Xu looked at Lin Heng and blamed him.
Lin Heng smiled and said, "This is not a gift, I am just expressing my gratitude. You have taken great pains in helping me and taking care of Caiyun."
After some polite exchanges, Lin Heng put the gift down.
Guo Xu poured Lin Heng a cup of tea and said with a smile: "The buyer I found out about you is a friend of my father. He is very interested in this and said that if it is really a hundred-year-old ginseng, he is willing to spend 17,000 to buy it.
I'm talking about the price of 20,000 that you mentioned at the beginning. My dad's friend is not short of money and is in real estate. I think you can negotiate it down to 18,000 or 19,000."
"What exactly is the discussion about? Should I go down or not?" Lin Heng turned his head and asked.
Guo Xu took a sip of tea and said, "I can bring him to town to talk."
Lin Heng thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll give you an accurate answer before you leave this afternoon."
"Okay, I won't leave until four in the afternoon."
Guo Xu nodded again, the two exchanged greetings for a while, and then Lin Heng left.
After returning to the store, he waited until after two in the afternoon, but the truck to collect the mountain products still didn't come, which made Lin Heng very surprised.
Even if there is no news of ginseng buyers, the trucks collecting mountain products should have arrived long ago, as agreed upon on the 15th of every month.
Just when Lin Heng was about to go to school to reply Guo Xu, he finally heard the roar of the engine.
"Brother Lin, come out quickly, there are two cars coming, a truck and a jeep!"
At the same time, Lin Yue's exclamation was heard from outside.
Lin Heng walked out quickly and saw a yellow jeep following the truck. A woman in a black windbreaker was driving the car, and sitting in the passenger seat was Jin Fuqiang, whom Lin Heng was very familiar with.
Lin Heng was a little shocked. What was the identity of the woman driving the car? She actually had Jin Fuqiang accompany her here.
After tidying up his clothes, Lin Heng walked over and greeted him with a smile: "Director Jin, why did you come up in person?"
Jin Fuqiang smiled and pointed at the beautiful woman in a black windbreaker next to him and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Miss Bai Xueqing from Baiyao Group. She heard that you have century-old ginseng and insisted on driving up to take a look at the goods."
"Hello Miss Bai, I'm Lin Heng."
Lin Heng looked at Bai Xueqing and smiled as she stretched out her hand. The woman looked about the same age as him, with her hair curled into big waves, very fashionable.
Bai Xueqing looked at Lin Heng and was a little shocked by his youth and handsomeness. She thought his eyes were particularly bright.
She smiled and shook Lin Heng's hand and said, "Hello, Boss Lin, do you really have a hundred-year-old ginseng? Are you sure it's over a hundred years old?"
"Of course, the ginseng is at my house, we can go and see the goods."
Lin Heng smiled slightly.
When Bai Xueqing heard this, she said directly: "Then let's go and see the goods. You get in the car and we can discuss the price and everything."
"Okay, let's go."
Lin Heng turned around and said something to Wang Zhou, then got on the jeep and headed for Hongfeng Village.
Bai Xueqing was driving like a madman, speeding all the way. Even Lin Heng, who was not prone to motion sickness, almost vomited.
It took more than ten minutes to arrive at Hongfeng Village. The car stopped outside Lin Heng's house. Lin Heng took the two of them directly to his house.
After opening the gate of the yard, both Jin Fuqiang and Bai Xueqing were slightly shocked by the situation inside.
"Your house is nicely designed." Bai Xueqing couldn't help but praise.
Lin Heng smiled slightly: "The country folks just make some, but they can't compare to the city."
When Bai Xueqing saw Xiulan and Xiaoxia coming out, she was shocked again. Lin Heng’s wife was so beautiful and his daughter was so cute.
"Let's go inside and talk."
While Lin Heng invited the two to go to the bedroom to warm up by the fire, he said something to Xiulan.
After entering the house, Lin Heng poured a cup of tea for the two of them. Jin Fugui and Bai Xueqing took it and said they were not thirsty, so they put the cups on the table without drinking.
Lin Heng didn't say much. Even though he was using celadon teacups, the two of them were obviously a little disgusted.
Bai Xueqing said directly: "Let's get straight to the point. I have to go back in the afternoon after the inspection, so I don't have enough time."
"good!"
Lin Heng nodded, walked over and took out an exquisite rectangular wooden box from the cabinet, which contained completely dried ginseng.
"Look, both of you. This is the hundred-year-old ginseng I mentioned."
With a slight smile, Lin Heng placed the ginseng on the table.
