Chapter 332 The Gentle Educated Youth Loves the Rough Officer 6
The next morning, just after dawn, the whole Song family set out, riding in the oxcart that Father Song had rented for one dollar the night before.
The most excited ones were Song Junluo and Song Junrong, because they had never been to the county town.
When they arrived at the county town, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. Lin Yi had already asked Tangyuan for advice.
Knowing that there was a place in the county town that specialized in reselling, Lin Yi decided to try his luck there.
"Dad, I heard there's a place in the county town that specializes in selling rare things. Do you know that place?"
Lin Yi asked tentatively.
"I know, that place is not safe. Dad and I will go there, and you, mom, and your brother and sister-in-law will go to the county town. We will meet here at four o'clock!"
Song Junhua's answer was so confident that Lin Yi was surprised. But to be on the safe side, Lin Yi still asked for two wild ginseng.
"I know a pharmacy with a good reputation. Give us two. Mom and I will go there to try. Junhua, we won't sell our wild ginseng for less than 200 yuan!"
Lin Yi dared to say such words after Tangyuan's investigation. Wild ginseng, a precious medicinal material, is generally supplied to wealthy families, and there is a price but no market for it. If the pharmacy could only afford two wild ginsengs, Lin Yi would not have mentioned the black market at all.
After the few people acted separately, Lin Yi took Liu Chunfang, Song Junluo and Song Junrong to a pharmacy called Huichuntang with ease.
Nowadays, many medicines are produced and sold by pharmacies themselves, most of which are Chinese patent medicines. As soon as Lin Yi entered the store, he smelled a strong scent of Chinese medicine.
"Are you here to see a doctor or buy medicine?"
A middle-aged man asked kindly.
"I wonder if the boss will accept the herbs?"
Lin Yi asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Yi and the others, and seeing that they did not bring any medicinal herbs, he asked curiously.
"I wonder what medicinal herbs the little girl wants to sell?"
Lin Yi took out the two wild ginsengs generously. The middle-aged man took a look at them and took Lin Yi and others into the backyard of the pharmacy.
Entering the main room in the backyard, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to carefully observe the wild ginseng.
"Miss, these two wild ginsengs must have been just dug up. How are you going to sell them?"
After confirming the quality, the middle-aged man intended to collect both wild ginsengs.
"We dug them up by chance yesterday. We don't know the market price. What do you think they are worth?"
After Lin Yi said this, Liu Chunfang was so anxious that she pulled Lin Yi's sleeve. How could Lin Yi sell things like this and let others make bids?
"I want both of them. I'll pay five hundred. What do you think, little girl?"
The middle-aged man smiled knowingly and gave his offer.
"Deal, the boss is a real man. I'll come to you again if I have something good in the future!"
Lin Yi agreed happily. When the middle-aged man heard Lin Yi's confident words, he couldn't help but look at Lin Yi twice more. He inexplicably believed what Lin Yi said and nodded.
"I'll go get the money. Please wait a moment. If you have any good stuff in the future, just bring it to me. I want all of it!"
After the middle-aged man left, Liu Chunfang pinched Song Junrong's little face hard, causing Song Junrong to scream in pain.
"I'm not dreaming!"
Liu Chunfang is still in disbelief about the huge sum of money that is about to come to her.
"Mom, let me discuss something. Can we improve the food in the future? After all, my little brother and sister are still growing, and they need to keep up with their nutrition!"
Lin Yi took advantage of Liu Chunfang's still feeling dazed and quickly put forward her request.
When she heard that she had to spend money, Liu Chunfang instantly came to her senses, glared at Lin Yi and said unhappily.
"I think you are just greedy! There is no point in being greedy. Food coupons and meat coupons are not that easy to get. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them!"
Lin Yi immediately seized the loophole in Liu Chunfang's words, smiled and took Liu Chunfang's arm, and asked in a coquettish tone.
"Mom, what you mean is that if we can get food coupons and meat coupons, we can improve our food, right?"
Liu Chunfang was stunned by the question. When she wanted to refute Lin Yi, the pharmacy owner came over with five hundred yuan.
"Little girls, please take inventory!"
The drugstore owner handed the money directly to Lin Yi. When Lin Yi was counting the money, Liu Chunfang kept staring at her. Every time Lin Yi turned over a bill, Liu Chunfang also counted one silently, which made the drugstore owner laugh.
"No problem, happy cooperation, boss!"
Lin Yi stuffed the money into Liu Chunfang's hand with a smile, nodded to the pharmacy owner, and then took Song Junluo and Song Junrong out of the pharmacy.
After Liu Chunfang caught up, he kept holding his clothes pockets with his hands and looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid that someone was going to rob him.
"Mom, if you keep being so nervous, someone might really target you!"
Lin Yi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so she whispered a reminder in Liu Chunfang's ear.
Liu Chunfang slapped Lin Yi on the back and said angrily.
"You stupid kid, I'm already nervous enough with your mother, and you're still scaring me!"
However, after saying this, Liu Chunfang relaxed a lot, but she refused to go anywhere and insisted on staying at the agreed place waiting for Old Man Song and Song Junhua to come back.
The hungry Lin Yi and the two kids could only eat dry food and accompany Liu Chunhua and others.
Fortunately, Old Man Song and Song Junhua came back not long after. Song Junhua looked calm, but Old Man Song was so happy that the wrinkles on his face became more obvious.
"How much did you sell?"
Liu Chunfang pulled Old Man Song over and asked nervously.
Old Man Song smiled without saying anything and slowly raised three fingers.
"three hundred!"
After Liu Chunfang shouted excitedly, she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
"If I had known I would have let you sell it, you could have gotten an extra hundred bucks!"
Liu Chunfang thought about it and felt that it would be a huge loss if she sold it to the pharmacy.
"What are you thinking? It was just luck that he sold that one tree. Besides, that man only had two hundred and thirty yuan on him. The remaining seventy yuan was paid with food coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons!"
After Old Man Song finished speaking, Song Junhua added.
"This person also wanted to give a gift to his elders, so he went to the black market to try his luck. That's why he met me and my father. The price offered by others did not exceed two hundred!"
Liu Chunfang now felt relieved, but Lin Yi had already known everything.
"Mom, now we have food coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons. Can we go to the supply and marketing cooperative to shop? I'm so hungry now. I want to go to the state-owned restaurant and have a good meal. Brother and sister, do you want to eat braised pork?"
After Lin Yi acted coquettishly in front of Liu Chunfang, she began to seduce Song Junluo and Song Junrong.
Hearing about braised pork, the two little ones began to swallow their saliva unconsciously, looking at Liu Chunfang with pleading eyes.
