Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains
Chapter 12: Intercepting the Big Yellow Dog
Early the next morning, the third day of April, it was the market day in Huangtan Town. Early in the morning, his daughter-in-law Chen Xiulan called Lin Heng up.
"Husband, I have to get up and go to the market today." Chen Xiulan shook Lin Heng awake, although she was still a little uncomfortable with calling her husband.
But Lin Heng liked it, so she was willing to call him that.
"Oh, my waist." Lin Heng wanted to turn over and sit up, but his waist ached and he lay down again.
"I'll give you safflower oil and rub it in."
Chen Xiulan took out the safflower oil from the drawer and kneaded it for Lin Heng. It took a while before she got up.
"Wash your face and set off as soon as you get up. The sun is about to come out." His father, Lin Xuan, urged as he packed up all the herbs and other things he wanted to sell.
"Just the two of us?" Lin Heng glanced at his father and said, "I want to take Xiulan with me."
He remembered that Xiulan hadn't been to town for a long time.
"Go, I'll take care of the baby." Before Lin Xian could say anything, his mother Lu Hongmei spoke first.
She felt sorry for Xiulan and wanted her to visit the town.
Father Lin was a little reluctant and wanted Xiulan to stay at home and help with the work in the fields.
"Mom, Lin Heng and dad can just go." Although Xiulan wanted to go, she still refused.
At this time, Mother Lin added: "If she follows, this second-rate guy Lin Heng will not run away again."
"Besides, Xiulan hasn't gone to the market for a long time, so it's good to go once." Mother Lin glared at Father Lin again and said.
Thinking of this, Father Lin nodded and said, "Then let's go."
He was also afraid that his second son would take the opportunity to run out and fool around with others again.
"Hurry up and change clothes." Lin Heng didn't give his wife a chance to speak and pushed her into the house to change clothes.
But no one noticed that sister-in-law Liu Juan's face turned a little ugly.
After Lin Heng washed his face, Xiulan also changed into clean clothes without patches, and the three of them walked towards the town together.
Maple Tree Village is not far from Huangtan Town, only five or six kilometers away, and it only takes more than an hour and a half to walk there.
On the road were people going to the market carrying all kinds of luggage, some were herbs, some were grains, and some were piglets.
The only thing Lin Heng could sell this time was the gray squirrel skin he got the day before yesterday.
My daughter-in-law, Xiulan, has a lot of things in her basket, including herbs and fungi she picked in the past month.
When they arrived in the town, they first went to the door of Liu's house where medicinal herbs were collected from wild products. There were many people here, all of whom came to sell wild products.
"Xiulan, keep an eye on these things while we go sell ginseng."
After saying something to Xiulan, Lin Heng took his father into the house and found Liu Qicheng, the boss here.
"Uncle Liu, come here, I have something to talk to you about."
Liu Qicheng glanced at Lin Heng and asked his wife to take care of the business first. He took Lin Heng and Lin's father to the backyard.
"Anything good?" Liu Qicheng looked at the two of them and asked.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to dig a 15-year-old wild ginseng tree in Taibai Mountain."
Father Lin smiled shyly and took out the ginseng hidden in his arms. The ginseng plants were still there.
After removing the moss, there is a very neat and beautiful ginseng inside, shaped like a little man and full of aura.
"Uncle Six, this is a good thing, isn't it? How much can you give me?"
Lin Heng looked at Liu Qicheng and asked.
Wild ginseng is extremely rare, especially one of such a high vintage. Only one tree can grow in several years. It is very precious.
"It's indeed a good thing. I can give you four hundred yuan." Liu Qicheng gave Lin Heng and Lin's father a cigarette and said calmly.
Lin Heng didn't answer. He was a smoker in his previous life, but he quit after his family was ruined.
"Uncle Liu, you are not being kind. I just went to the city a few months ago. The purchase point in the city can give you at least 800 yuan for this ginseng."
Lin Heng said with a smile, ready to bargain with him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Qicheng suddenly turned his face and said coldly: "This is the price I have here. If you want to sell it, you can sell it. If not, go somewhere else."
After saying that, he walked out.
Lin Heng's expression changed. He knew that Liu Qicheng was a bit awkward, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
This is because he is the only one purchasing point in Huangtan Town, so he can do whatever he wants and exploit the farmers.
"Dad, let's go to the city to sell."
Lin Heng looked at his father and said, secretly deciding that when he got rich, he would definitely open a buying point to cash in on him.
Damn, what a bully.
Father Lin was also a little angry, but he didn't want to go to the city. It was too far: "Are you sure it can be sold for seven to eight hundred in the city?"
"For sure, for sure, once you go to the city you will know how deceitful he is."
Lin Heng said.
"And it's much cheaper to buy things in the city. We need to buy a lot of tools to build a house. It's also very cheap in the city."
Lin Heng said again.
Father Lin thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then let's go into the city, and I'll see what the city is like."
Wrapping the ginseng in moss and putting it in his arms, the father and son walked out.
As soon as they reached the gate, Liu Qicheng came over again, pulled the two of them aside and said with a smile: "It was my bad attitude just now, the price you said was really outrageous.
I can only sell it for a little over 500 when I get it in the city. The 800 is definitely a fake. Someone is lying to you.
In this way, I won’t make any more money from you. I’ll take the five hundred yuan. How about that? "
Liu Qicheng was indeed a profiteer, and he was very skillful in his skills. Father Lin was a little hesitant on the spot. If Lin Heng hadn't been reborn, he would have been deceived.
"No need, we are going to take it home to feed the pigs." Lin Heng smiled slightly and took his father away.
Liu Qicheng glanced at Lin Heng and didn't care. He thought they would come back to sell in the end, so he just needed to give them a little more profit.
"I think Liu Qicheng is right. It can be sold for 500 yuan." Lin's father hesitated.
"Go to the city to sell. Don't believe him." Lin Heng was too lazy to explain and his attitude was very firm.
Lin's father glanced at his son and finally decided to go to the city to have a look. Even if he had to walk a little more, it would not be cheaper than here.
"How is it?" Chen Xiulan asked when she saw Lin Heng and the others coming back.
"Go to the city to sell. It's too bad here." Lin Heng said.
"Then I'll sell these and go back." Chen Xiulan nodded.
"No need. You come with us. Since we are going to the city, take everything and sell it." Lin Heng said. Anyway, we are going to the city, so it doesn't matter if we take more or less.
Father Lin did not refuse, after all, he needed someone to pick up things when he came back: "Then let's go quickly, the sooner we go, the sooner we can come back."
"Then let's go, I'll lead the way, I know a small road that's much closer."
Lin Heng nodded, and set off with his wife and father. Today's Huangtan Town Market was very lively, but the three of them were not in the mood to go shopping.
"Didn't you say you were going into the city, why did you bring us to school?" Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and questioned, not knowing what he was doing.
Chen Xiulan also had a face full of doubts.
"Dad, you wait here for me for ten minutes, I'm going to do something." Lin Heng said, and ran out.
He had to intercept the spiritual rhubarb, and he couldn't delay a minute or a second. If he was intercepted, he would cry.
"He shouldn't be caught. I heard from the old man in my last life that he picked it up in May of the lunar calendar."
Lin Heng walked to the school in the town and started looking for it, talking to himself.
Seeking recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and follow-up reading.
