The two returned to Tian Cai's house together.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Ling took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it to Tian Cai, "I sold them all. The first four bottles were sold at a price of ten yuan, and the fifth bottle was sold for eleven yuan."
Tian Cai rubbed his hands and took the money, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is really a huge profit!
After thinking about it, she only took four and left the remaining eleven to Qin Ling. "This is your hard work fee. We will do this from now on. You take 20%, and the extra sales will also be yours."
After saying this, Tian Cai looked at the remaining piece of Great Unity in Qin Ling's hand and felt a little sad for some reason. In fact, 20% is really not too much, okay?
Woohoo, what's wrong with her now? Although she didn't regard money as dirt before, she was definitely not so greedy. Could it be that she lived in poverty?
Tian Cai tried hard to shift his gaze from the big unity card to the money in his hand. Well, forty yuan for five bottles is not a small amount. When calculated to eight yuan per bottle, it is already very, very good!
Qin Ling found Tian Cai's distressed look particularly funny and had originally planned to help her voluntarily, but seeing her miserly look, he decided to accept it.
As soon as he took the money, he saw a girl's eyes follow his hand around until the thing inside was put into his chest pocket, and her eyes still lingered on it.
Thinking of Tian Cai's gaze falling on his chest, Qin Ling coughed lightly, "What did you pick today?"
Tian Cai then reluctantly withdrew his gaze and took off the bamboo basket on his body. "Mushrooms, there is also a pheasant underneath. I will treat you to something good tonight."
After a day of tossing and turning in the Qinling Mountains, he was hungry. He just ate a piece of bread at noon. Now, when he talked about eating good food, he felt hungry.
So Qinling washed his hands to help, and Tian Cai took the lead in cooking, and they quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.
Tian Cai made full use of the pheasant by cooking smashed cucumbers, three kinds of vegetables, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, and stir-fried shredded beans. He also chopped the chicken thighs and mushrooms together to make mushroom meatball soup.
The two of them were talking while eating, and Tian Cai asked him about the situation in the black market. It was different from what she thought. There were people collecting management fees at the entrance of the black market. Those people had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance whether the people who came were really here to buy or sell things.
Their people were scattered around, and when they saw someone with a red armband or suspicious person, they would contact each other with secret codes, and then the others would immediately use the terrain advantage to avoid capture.
After a while, people who often hang out in the black market are willing to pay this money, which can save them a lot of trouble and provide better security.
"Anyone who can take on this job is no ordinary person." Tian Cai couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Ling raised the corner of his lips, "You have seen this person before."
"I've seen him before?" Tian Cai was stunned. His mind flashed through the people he had met in the county, and finally settled on one person. He asked tentatively, "That Third Brother Liang at the purchasing station?"
"That's him."
Tian Cai raised her eyebrows. She really didn't notice it. She still remembered the man's condition at that time. He didn't look very well. She thought he had adjusted to it after so long.
"Brother Liang San is at the purchasing station most of the time. If you have any questions when I'm not around, you can go directly to him."
Although Tian Cai's body was strong, her appetite was about the same as that of a normal girl. She was full after eating a bowl of sweet potato rice and drinking a bowl of soup. Seeing her put down the bowl, Qin Ling ate three bowls in a row. Not to mention the vegetables, he even drank up the soup.
Tian Cai's gaze lingered on his still flat abdomen for a while. He didn't see any bulge and wondered where all the food went.
Seeing him so supportive, Tian Cai felt a great sense of accomplishment. Perhaps it was always a happy thing to see the food he cooked being eaten up by others.
After dinner, this man was not idle. While Tian Cai was washing dishes, he chopped the firewood in the backyard, then took the bucket to the well to fetch water, and filled the two water tanks in turn. He did not go back until he finished everything.
The next morning, Qu Ting was helping Tian Cai grind medicine when Commander Yu arrived. Seeing that the two had something to say, Qu Ting gestured to Tian Cai and quietly left.
This time, Commander Yu not only brought medicine powder for Tian Cai to prepare, but also brought two things.
One is about Hong Siqing. Commander Yu has asked someone to find out Hong Siqing's address and his current situation.
"...Now he lives in a mixed Miao and Han village. Although he was sent down, I heard that in his first month there, he saved the captain's mother with his acupuncture skills, saving him from a lot of suffering. Although his background is still bad, his life is much better now." Commander Yu also knew Hong Siqing. He felt very sorry that such a good doctor with both virtue and talent was suppressed just because of his relationship with traditional Chinese medicine. Now that he knew that he was doing well in the southwest, he felt relieved. He looked at Tian Cai with admiration and said, "I guess people like you who are capable will not let your lives be too bad no matter where you go."
Tian Cai nodded without any embarrassment and admitted that it was indeed true.
"The second thing is, I want to ask you for a favor." Commander Yu didn't want to trouble Tian Cai before, but because of this man's identity, he couldn't give up just like that.
Tian Cai didn't fall for it at all. "Tell me about it?"
Commander Yu glanced at her and said, "I have a person here who is currently unconscious. We've checked him with all sorts of instruments and found nothing amiss. However, his vitality is slowly fading, and we can't find the cause. I've consulted several doctors, and they all say he could die in his sleep at any moment."
Tian Cai nudged the roof of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, feeling a little unsure. She knew her own level of skill. She knew it was no problem dealing with minor ailments, but if it was a truly difficult or complicated case, that was a different story. "Didn't you ask Old Master Jiang to take a look? What did he say?"
"After looking at it, I guessed that it was poisoning, but I couldn't tell what the poison was. Besides, there are so many snakes, insects and poisonous plants in the south..." Commander Yu couldn't help but sigh. The boy's father was his former battalion commander, who died in a foreign battle. At that time, the battalion commander's wife took the pension and remarried with the child. They also collected a lot of money for the sister-in-law, begging her not to change the child's surname, to leave a descendant for their battalion commander, so that they would have someone to worship him during the Qingming Festival in the future.
There are too many cases of women abandoning their children or remarrying with their children after their husbands die. Moreover, it is really difficult for a woman to raise a child alone in this world. There is nothing wrong with her wanting a better life, but they just want to preserve the only bloodline of the battalion commander.
Although there was no news of the battalion commander's wife later, he knew from the first moment he saw the cheetah that this must be their battalion commander's son! He looked exactly like the battalion commander, so there was no other explanation except that they were father and son.
Commander Yu couldn't help but feel tears welling up in his eyes when he thought of the dying child. This was their battalion commander's son, and his only wish in the world. How could they let him go like this? No matter what method they used, they had to save him!
"Is this person important?"
Seeing Commander Yu nod, Tian Cai's right hand unconsciously crossed the palm of her left hand. She bit her lip and said, "Then I'll try!"
