Zhou Yubai immediately followed Shen Qingli's steps.
"I have something that may interest you. Do you want to take a look?" Shen Qingli whispered to the man who was buying herbs.
The man was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded, "Okay."
The three of them walked not far away, and Shen Qingli took out a ginseng from the basket. The man's eyes lit up.
"Comrade, I want it. How much is it?" the man asked in surprise.
"This is my first time selling ginseng. How much do you want to pay me?" Shen Qingli said.
In this day and age, people buy ginseng to save their lives. Shen Qingli will not ask for an exorbitant price. As long as the price offered by the man is not too outrageous, she will pay for it.
"I only have three hundred yuan and some bills. See if this is okay." The man hurriedly handed all the money and bills he had to Shen Qingli.
Shen Qingli took a look and found that there were bicycle tickets and quite a few cotton tickets in the pile of tickets.
"Okay. I want two hundred, and I want the tickets." Shen Qingli said.
"Hey, thank you very much, comrade. To be honest, this is all the money I have. You have helped me a lot by leaving me one hundred. If you need me for anything in the future, you can call me." The man lowered his voice and said, he took out a pen, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote down a number, and handed it to Shen Qingli.
He took off his mask and revealed his true face.
The man was in his twenties, very handsome, and full of bookish air. It was obvious that he was raised in a scholarly family.
"Okay." Shen Qingli responded indifferently without taking off the cloth on her face. Her face was still too risky.
"Ginseng is beneficial when taken in moderation, but excessive amounts can be a burden on the body. It's best to follow your doctor's advice before use," Shen Qingli warned.
"Gay knows medicine?" the man said happily. He intuitively felt that the woman in front of him was not simple.
"I understand a little." Shen Qingli smiled.
"It's time to go." Zhou Yubai said. It would be better for everyone if there were fewer people in the black market.
Shen Qingli nodded.
Just as they were about to leave, the man reached out and stopped them.
"Sorry for being so abrupt. Comrade, if you need any heart medicine, you can contact me. The price is negotiable." Seeing that Zhou Yubai's eyes were filled with murderous intent, the man hurriedly explained.
Shen Qingli tugged at Zhou Yubai's hand and nodded, "Okay."
"Thank you, comrade." The man said hurriedly, "My name is Cui Jingming."
Zhou Yubai looked at Cui Jingming, indicating that he was not going to move aside.
Cui Jingming quickly made way and said, "You guys go ahead and do your work."
Shen Qingli looked at Zhou Yubai, whose eyes were full of gloom, and gently pulled his hand.
"I want to buy some seasonings." Shen Qingli said in a low voice.
"Okay." Zhou Yubai responded.
Shen Qingli bought peppercorns, aniseed, bay leaves, cinnamon, and two bottles of soy sauce.
The two men put all the things into the bamboo basket and bought some other things before leaving the black market.
"When did you pick ginseng?" Zhou Yubai asked. He knew that to pick ginseng, one had to go deep into the mountains, but Shen Qingli had not told him that she had gone to the mountains.
"I picked it up accidentally a few days ago. I guess I was lucky. I forgot to tell you." Shen Qingli said vaguely.
Zhou Yubai pursed his lips slightly. He felt that Shen Qingli was hiding something from him.
Shen Qingli quietly hooked Zhou Yubai's finger, "We now have bicycle tickets and cotton tickets. Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle and some cotton."
"I'll make cotton clothes for our family when I have time. If there's extra cotton, I'll make two quilts."
"Yeah." Zhou Yubai looked at Shen Qingli with serious eyes, and finally nodded.
The two men went to a deserted place, tore off the cloths on their faces, went to the bicycle parking area, and pushed the bicycle all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative at this time.
Zhou Yubai asked Shen Qingli to wait at the door to look at things, while he went in to buy a bicycle and cotton.
Shen Qingli nodded obediently in agreement. She was pretty, and just standing there she looked like a beautiful sight.
"Comrade, it's you, it's really you!" a surprised female voice rang out.
Shen Qingli looked over and saw a young woman running up to her, followed by a man.
Shen Qingli's eyes paused slightly. What a coincidence.
This woman was Dr. Cui Jingqing, and the man following her was none other than Cui Jingming, who had just bought ginseng from her.
They both have the surname Cui, are they... brother and sister?
"Brother, this is the female comrade I told you about who saved our mom last time." Cui Jingqing held Shen Qingli's hand, "I've been looking for you for a long time, and finally found you. You must let me repay you. Let's go to the state-owned hotel and eat and talk."
"My husband is shopping, I can't leave." Shen Qingli hurriedly grabbed Dr. Cui.
Cui Jingming had just met Shen Qingli, and although Shen Qingli covered her face at that time, he still recognized her.
"Comrade, what a coincidence, we meet again." Cui Jingming said in a gentle voice.
"Brother, you and... Comrade, you haven't told me your name yet." Cui Jingqing slapped his head, "Just call me Qingqing."
"My name is Shen Qingli." Shen Qingli briefly introduced herself.
"Brother, how did you and Qingli know each other?" Cui Jingqing looked at Cui Jingming.
"I just bought the ginseng from Comrade Shen." Cui Jingming lowered his voice.
"What a coincidence! Qingli, you have helped us again." Cui Jingqing said excitedly, holding Shen Qingli's hand and refusing to let go, talking excitedly.
In the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhou Yubai took the money and quickly bought the bicycle and cotton, and also bought some snacks, such as big biscuits, egg cakes, and rice noodles, which were all Shen Qingli's favorites.
Thinking of my two little ones at home, I bought some White Rabbit snacks.
When Zhou Yubai came out, he saw Cui Jingming standing opposite Shen Qingli. His face darkened and he pushed the cart and strode forward.
Shen Qingli saw that Zhou Yubai looked unhappy. Before Zhou Yubai could speak, she pulled him back and whispered about her "fate" with Dr. Cui.
The last time Shen Qingli rescued someone, Zhou Yubai was in the black market, but Shen Qingli didn't take it seriously and didn't mention it.
Zhou Yubai only now realized that his wife actually knew medicine and could perform first aid...
