Chapter 296 A Lot of Money

In the purchasing department of the county medicinal materials company, people from various towns and villages come to sell medicinal materials every day, and there are so many people.

The ginseng brought by Sheng Xiping ranged from more than three taels for large ones to close to two taels for small ones. It was conservatively estimated that they would cost one to two thousand yuan.

Plus the money from bear bile is really quite a lot.

There were people coming and going here, and Sheng Xiping didn't want to attract too much attention, so he didn't take out the ginseng directly, but handed the bag to the other person for a look.

The staff in the acquisition department have been doing this all year round, and they are very knowledgeable. They understood it at that time, so they immediately invited Sheng Xiping to come in and discuss it in detail.

"Xiao Zhang, please support me here. This comrade and I will go inside to talk about something."

The man who looked less than forty years old nodded towards Sheng Xiping and led him to the room next to him, leaving two young staff to look after him.

"Comrade, can you take out the ginseng in your pocket and let me take a look?"

When they came to the next room, the other party said to Sheng Xiping politely.

"Okay." Sheng Xiping nodded, took out five birch bark rolls from his pocket, and placed them one by one on the table.

The birch bark rolls were put in the pocket just now. The other party didn't see how many there were, but he only knew that they contained wild ginseng.

At this moment, when he saw the five volumes, the other party was also a little surprised. "These are all yours?"

"No, a group of us met him when we went into the mountains." Sheng Xiping smiled and brushed it off casually.

Sheng Xiping obviously didn't want to go into details, and he also knew that it wasn't easy to ask questions, so he nodded and reached out to untie the first ginseng bun.

By coincidence, the first one I unlocked was Miao Erjiazi's transmigration ginseng.

"Hey, it's not small. This tree weighs about three ounces."

As the man spoke, he took out a scale from the cabinet next to him.

Place the ginseng on one end of the scale, then take the weights out and place them one by one on the other end.

Finally, adjust the scale on the ruler to keep both ends of the scale balanced.

"One hundred and sixty-eight grams." The other party reported the weight, and after some calculation, it was a little more than three or three dollars.

"This Miao Ginseng is heavy and has a beautiful shape. The only flaw is the reed head. Is this a Miao Ginseng? Erjiazi or Wupinye?"

The medicinal material company purchases all kinds of precious medicinal materials all year round. At this season of the year, it can harvest a lot of wild ginseng.

Therefore, people are very experienced and can tell at a glance that this is Miao Zhuanfei Ginseng.

"Yes, it should be a reincarnation, Erjiazi." Sheng Xiping nodded.

"It's a pity. If this reed head was also beautiful, the price would be higher."

The man shook his head regretfully, "Nine hundred and eighty, what do you think?"

The base price for purchasing wild ginseng is set, starting from 60 yuan for half a tael, 130 yuan for a 1 tael, and 460 yuan for a 2 tael. If the price exceeds 2 taels, the price will go up a lot.

Of course, if the beard, reeds, skin, grain, and body of wild ginseng are all perfect, the price will rise appropriately.

This seedling of reincarnated ginseng weighs three to three dollars, and has no physical problems, but the reed head is not good, so they priced it at nine hundred and eighty dollars.

Sheng Xiping thought about it in his mind and concluded that the price was not bad. After all, the price of wild ginseng had increased significantly over the years. It had been more than 90 years ago.

At this time, nine hundred and eighty yuan is almost as much as Sheng Liancheng's salary for one year. It is definitely a huge sum of money.

"Instead of nine hundred and eighty, let's say one thousand. I still have four seedlings here."

Sheng Xiping was satisfied with the price in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. He had to negotiate a little bit about the price.

"The price of nine hundred and eighty is already very fair. I didn't fool you." The man shook his head.

"If it weren't for the fact that you brought five seedlings of ginseng, I definitely wouldn't give you this price."

"Comrade, you see it's not easy for me to come all the way here.

Besides, a group of people went into the mountains for half a month to do this, so you can give me twenty yuan more. "Sheng Xiping refused to give up and continued talking.

Twenty yuan is equivalent to half a month's salary of his wife. It's not a small amount of money. You have to fight for it.

The other party smiled helplessly, "Well, I'll look at the other items first, and then I'll add some for you after you've finished them, okay?"

What this means is to see how the other ginseng seedlings fare.

If the quality is good, there is room for improvement; if the quality is not so good, let's talk about it differently.

Sheng Xiping was confident in the ginseng he brought out, so he nodded, "Okay, then you can take a look at it."

While talking, Sheng Xiping opened the remaining four ginseng buns to reveal the ginseng inside.

These four seedlings all have fifth-grade leaves, and the seedlings on the mountain wall have less than two taels.

The other three seedlings were all found under the mountain wall. Sheng Xiping picked them specially because they had thick stems and large ginseng seeds with many seeds, so these three seedlings were all two to two upwards.

The four-seedling ginseng has a good shape. It can be said that it is a serious first-class wild ginseng that has five shapes and perfect shapes.

When the other party saw the good quality, he was very happy. After weighing them one by one on the scale, he gave the price.

The four ginseng seedlings are priced at 620, 540, 480, and 340 respectively. Adding the 980 seedlings, the total is 2,960 yuan.

"Well, how about I give you three thousand instead of the forty yuan?"

The man was very satisfied with today's five seedlings and ginseng, so he happily added another forty yuan.

Having said that, what else could Sheng Xiping say? "Okay, just three thousand."

As soon as the two parties reached an agreement, the man came out of the room and called a staff member outside to come in and ask her to issue a ticket.

Then the man opened the cabinet with the key and took out three brand-new bundles of money.

A bundle of ten-yuan notes is exactly one thousand, and three bundles are exactly three thousand.

The man counted the money in front of Sheng Xiping, and it was exactly three thousand.

Then, another staff member took it over and clicked it again to confirm that it was correct, and then handed the bill and money to Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping took the bill and put it in his pocket, then counted the money again.

Three thousand yuan, a brand new rattling ticket, the feel is definitely different, and the sound when counting the money is always pleasant. "Yes, exactly three thousand."

After Sheng Xiping counted the money, he stuffed it directly into the cloth bag in his waist along with the money from the bear bile he just sold.

It was a bag specially sewn by Zhou Qinglan. It was tied around the waist and covered with clothes.

People in this era wear clothes that are fat and bulky, and they don’t even notice that they have something tied around their waists.

"Comrade, do you have a back door here? I can't leave in front of you anymore."

Sheng Xiping put the money in his pocket and stretched his shirt. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he asked the two men.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then understood what Sheng Xiping meant. For more than three thousand yuan, he was afraid of being spotted.

Also, when Sheng Xiping was selling bear bile just now, many people saw it.

Later, they came to this house alone to discuss business. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that this must be something more valuable.

If someone really pays attention, there is a person in front of me, and I really don't dare to say anything.

"Yes, Xiao Liu, you lead him through our backyard."

After all, we just made a deal worth several thousand dollars, so I had to do a favor wherever it was convenient.

So the older man motioned to the woman next to him to lead Sheng Xiping to the backyard.

Under the guidance of the staff, Sheng Xiping left through the door in the backyard.

After leaving the acquisition department, Sheng Xiping didn't stop anywhere else.

He was alone with more than three thousand yuan. If he met anyone, he would be in trouble.

So Sheng Xiping rushed to the passenger terminal very carefully, where he bought a ticket back to Songjianghe at one o'clock in the afternoon.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual around me, I felt relieved and went to a nearby restaurant to buy two steamed buns and some pickled vegetables. When I came back, I squatted at the bus station to eat them to cushion my stomach.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, I checked in and boarded the bus. The bus carried a busload of people and returned to Zhou's house in Songjianghe.

On the morning of the 8th, Zhou Qinglan still had a meeting to study.

Sheng Xiping took the opportunity to write a letter to Chen Ruiqing and sent it, telling Chen Ruiqing that he happened to be passing by Lijiawa on business and met Shao Minzhi, mother and son, and also took Chen Feng to his home.

Chen Feng adapted quickly to the Sheng family and got along well with the Sheng family, allowing Chen Ruiqing to work with peace of mind.

When you are free in the future, you can come to Qianchuan Forest Farm to pick up Chen Feng at any time.

Sheng Xiping told his family that Chen Feng picked it up, so in the letter, he also specifically told Chen Ruiqing not to make mistakes when he came to pick him up in the future.

At the same time, Chen Ruiqing was also asked to write a letter to Li Jiawa quickly to reassure Shao Minzhi.

In order to help Chen Ruiqing's family, Sheng Xiping had already lied a lot, and now he could only make up for it in many ways.

Anyway, that's all he can do. In the future, Chen Ruiqing and Shao Minzhi will be reunited as husband and wife, and both Chen's children will be safe and sound, and Sheng Xiping will have one less thing to worry about.

On the afternoon of the 8th, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan went shopping together.

The Zhou and Sheng families saved a lot of cloth and cotton stamps, and used them all to buy cloth and cotton, leaving them to make quilts and cotton-padded jackets and trousers for the baby in Zhou Qinglan's belly.

On the morning of the 9th, the couple left Zhou's house, took a small train, and returned to Qianchuan Forest Farm.

Arriving at the forest farm at nine o'clock, Zhou Qinglan was worried about the children in the class, so she got off the car and went straight to school.

Sheng Xiping, on his side, returned home with his bag on his back.

"Dad, you didn't go to work today?" As soon as they entered the house, they saw Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen drying beans in the yard.

Both houses of the Sheng family have vegetable gardens, and several racks of early beans and late beans are planted.

At this time, the early beans were lying on their backs, but the late beans were well knotted.

In early autumn, there are eggplants, peppers, beans, persimmons, and cucumbers in the vegetable garden. The dishes are rich, and the beans will grow old if there are too many beans.

Hard-working people will find ways to dry more vegetables. The dry weather after the beginning of autumn is the best time to dry vegetables. Almost every household dried vegetables.

Cut the cowpeas into wide shreds, blanch the horseshoe beans and white beans in boiling water, peel off the skins and remove the beans inside, and spread them out on the broken mat.

After drying, put it away, take it out and stew it in the next spring, and you will have an extra dish on the table.

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with the minor repair shop. I'll go over and click on the button and be back.

Your mother said that we had too many beans to eat, so I stayed at home to help your mother dry the beans. "

Sheng Liancheng grabbed a large pile of shredded beans with both hands, sprinkled it evenly on the tattered mat, and said to his son with a smile.

"How's it going? Did you go well on this trip? Have you sold all the things you brought? Did you buy the cotton and cloth I asked you to buy for my grandson?"

At the door of the house, Zhang Shuzhen, who was sitting on a bench and chopping beans with a kitchen knife, asked as she worked.

"I bought it. I bought everything you asked me to buy. Look at this bag."

Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this. The child was not even born yet, but he had already become the treasure of the whole family.

I don’t know how this baby will be spoiled by his grandparents after he is born.

"Mom, dad, guess how much I sold it for this time?" Sheng Xiping glanced at the neighbors and said in a low voice.

Sheng Xiping left with five ginseng trees. Sheng Liancheng and his wife guessed at home that they should be able to sell for a lot of money this time, certainly in the thousands.

Seeing Sheng Xiping's appearance at this moment, the couple knew that this time it was definitely not as simple as a thousand yuan, it should be more.

"Let's go into the house and talk." Zhang Shuzhen immediately put down the kitchen knife in her hand and called the father and son into the house.

The three of them entered the house and closed the door. Zhang Shuzhen conveniently closed the window of Nankang. Only then did Sheng Xiping take out three bundles of brand new tickets from his pocket.

"Five ginseng trees. The Erjiazi Zhuanfei seedling was sold for one thousand, and the others were sold for two thousand. The total is three thousand yuan. Mom, count it."

Sheng Xiping placed three bundles of money directly in front of Zhang Shuzhen.

The money for shopping was brought with her when she left home. Sheng Xiping's money from selling ginseng was not touched, it is all here.

Zhang Shuzhen looked at the three brand new bundles of money in front of her. They were all brand new and seemed to exude the aroma of ink.

"Oh, so many sold?" This is not a question, but a sigh.

At this age, Zhang Shuzhen saw three thousand dollars for the first time.

Sheng Liancheng's current salary is nearly 100 yuan a month. Of these 3,000 yuan, he would have to earn it for three years without eating or drinking.

Who can live at home without eating or drinking? Children like the Sheng family have a lot of expenses. If you want to save 3,000 yuan, you may not be able to save it in ten years.

How could Zhang Shuzhen not be excited when she saw so much money at once?

"Master, are we dreaming?" Zhang Shuzhen didn't believe that what she was seeing was true, so she turned around and asked Sheng Liancheng.

In fact, Sheng Liancheng was also shocked by the money in front of him.

When he was at home, he estimated that the five ginseng trees could be sold for more than one thousand or two thousand yuan, which was pretty good.

I really didn’t expect that it sold for 3,000 yuan in the end.

Three thousand, in this day and age, three thousand is a huge amount of money for anyone.

"Then what are you dreaming about? I went into the mountains with the boss, and you have seen those ginseng trees. Why are you still dreaming?

Three bundles of money, Gagaxin's great unity, you can be beautiful.

Now let alone the second child, even the money for the wedding of those few has come out. "Sheng Liancheng was very happy, smiling so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

“Mom, while you’re not at home right now, you should quickly collect the money, but don’t tell those people.

They are too young to keep their mouth shut. If they say this, they will be in a lot of trouble. "

Sheng Xiping looked at his parents' happy faces and couldn't help but want to laugh. What's going on now? Their family will have more money in the future.

"Oh, yes, yes, we can't let them know." Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen nodded repeatedly and pushed a bundle of money to Sheng Xiping.

"You two can keep this one thousand. Your wife is going to have a baby in the winter. You should keep some money in your hands for your convenience."

"Mom, you don't need to give it to me. I'm not short of money. Why do you give me so much?"

Sheng Xiping saw it and quickly refused.

They both make money, and they live with their parents without any expenses. What do they need so much money for?

"Others, just take it and let us do whatever we need to do.

Ordinarily, I should give you half, but you also know the situation in our family.

It seems that the second child is old enough to marry a wife. The third child will not go to school in a few years, and starting a family is just around the corner.

I was thinking about renovating our old house in Xitou in two years and keeping it for the second and third children to get married. "
