Time passed quickly and it was the weekend. The two of them boarded a bus to the provincial capital.
Lin Siya has now fully adapted to the buses of this era.
Although there was still a strong smell of gasoline, she was no longer as prone to motion sickness as before. Moreover, Fu Sinian thoughtfully prepared some plums for her to prevent motion sickness. They were sour and sweet, and she felt much better after eating them.
The two of them came on the earliest bus. Since they had to go to work the next day and they did not plan to stay overnight in the provincial capital, their schedule today was extremely tight.
After the two arrived at their destination, they took a bus straight to the department store.
The two of them walked straight to the counter selling nutritional supplements. Last time they just took a quick look, but this time Lin Siya finally looked carefully.
Unexpectedly, there are so many kinds of nourishing products here, and the quality seems to be very good. She saw those dried abalones, each one was as big as a palm, which were considered to be top-quality abalone.
If these dried abalones were kept for a few decades, they would be worth a fortune.
Not to mention the ginseng. Although it is not a hundred-year-old ginseng, it is all purely wild and you won’t be able to buy it no matter how much money you spend decades later.
The salesperson selling nutritional supplements saw that Lin Siya was very interested in the ginseng and began to introduce it enthusiastically.
"These ginsengs have just arrived. We have never sold them at this counter before. This is the first batch, so it is very rare. If you wanted to buy ginseng of this quality before, you couldn't get it unless you had connections."
Since ancient times, ginseng has been regarded as a miracle drug that can bring people back to life in the eyes of ordinary people. Especially those families with some wealth will basically keep some at home in case of emergency, as it can save lives at critical moments.
It’s a pity that the mountains and forests are now nationalized, and ginseng pickers are not allowed to go up the mountains to pick ginseng. Even if they pick ginseng, they can only trade it secretly underground.
This has led to the price of ginseng becoming increasingly high, making it unaffordable for ordinary people.
The reason why they have these ginsengs on this counter is that, firstly, they are close to the ginseng producing area and have regular supply channels; secondly, this thing is relatively expensive among all the tonics, and it is very good whether it is used as a gift or for personal use. Besides, this is not a hundred-year-old ginseng, but basically a few decades old, so ordinary people can afford it if they grit their teeth.
The salesperson noticed that the two people were wearing very elegant clothes and watches, and that they came from well-off families and could definitely afford these expensive tonics, so he introduced them in great detail.
Not only ginseng is introduced, but also other nourishing products such as snow frog and bird's nest.
Seeing so many good things, Lin Siya's eyes lit up.
I really want to take over this counter directly, but it's a pity that Fu Sinian is around, and it would be too conspicuous to buy so much at once. I can only come again next time I have the chance, or come more often. With such good quality items, I can buy more and store them in my space. They will be treasures in the future.
Whether you give it as a gift or eat it yourself, it is very presentable.
And in her opinion, the current price is absolutely perfect.
Although it is still a bit expensive for ordinary people, it is just a drizzle for her.
However, although she couldn't buy it openly, she had a golden finger and signed in continuously at the tonic counter.
Hearing the system's announcement, Lin Siya was secretly delighted. It turned out to be the system that understood his heart the most. It was really awesome!
Finally, she asked for two kilograms of snow frog, one kilogram of cordyceps, two kilograms of bird's nest, two kilograms of sea cucumber, and five kilograms of donkey-hide gelatin. These are good things for women.
In addition, she also took the two oldest ginsengs on the counter.
The salesperson was grinning from ear to ear when he saw that she had bought so many things. Although their job was a stable one, they would still receive rewards if the products sold well.
After leaving the tonic counter, the two went to buy some local specialty snacks. Now that the weather was cold, these things would not go bad after a few days on the road.
In the prepared food area, she also saw Harbin's red sausage, which was a good thing, full of meat. After asking, she found out that it didn't even require a meat ticket. Unfortunately, there was a purchase limit, and one person could only buy five kilograms. There were two of them, so Lin Siya bought ten kilograms.
As for clothes, Lin Siya didn't buy any, mainly because the styles here were not as good as those in Beijing, and even she herself didn't like them.
She also wanted to buy some toys for the children of her two sisters-in-law. After all, her two sisters-in-law were very nice to her. They had sent her so many things even before they met.
It’s a pity that there are so few types of toys for children nowadays. She looked around and only saw small toys like tin frogs for sale.
There were no toy models, toy cars, or Barbie dolls.
After the two of them left the department store, they went straight to the post office. Since most of the things they had were going to be sent away anyway, they simply decided not to take them back. It would be more convenient to send them directly from the post office in the provincial capital.
"Where are we going now?"
After coming out of the post office, the two of them only had a few things left in their hands, and they felt much more relaxed.
"I want to go to a few scrap yards and see if I can get some parts. The scrap yards here receive more stuff than ours."
The two of them also bought some accessories at the department store, but the accessory that came with the TV was not available there.
When Lin Siya heard this, she immediately nodded in agreement. Here came another opportunity to pick up a bargain.
"Have you ever been to the scrap yard here?"
"You, Li Bo, and I have been here several times."
"Okay, let's go now."
The two took the bus and soon arrived at the first scrap yard.
The gatekeeper at the scrap yard quickly let them both in after taking a handful of candy from Lin Siya.
Many of the things in this scrap station were also sorted, but when they went to the scrap station in the city that day, it was probably too late and the staff there had all gone off work.
It is daytime now and there are still quite a few staff members in the scrap yard. A truckload of scrap must have just arrived and the staff members are sorting it out. Of course, in addition to these staff members, there are also quite a few ordinary people at the sorting site.
They held a sack in one hand and a stick in the other, constantly searching for what they needed.
Of course, she was not stupid enough to think that these people were just ordinary people. Looking at how skilled they were in rummaging through the garbage, she knew that these people must be veterans.
Lin Siya observed these people carefully and found that when they were looking for things, they had a purpose and did not want everything. It seemed that these people were not simple. They could actually find treasures in this pile of garbage that had already been searched.
